Domestic Disturbance Disrupts Easter Morning: Wife Hunts Husband with Family Car
It wasn't a typical Easter family scene when police responded to a reckless driving report at the intersection of Lexington Parkway and University Avenue in St. Paul early Sunday morning.
Responding officer Mark Anderson reported a red Honda Civic speeding erratically though parking lots and onto University Avenue around 8 AM. Inside the vehicle were St. Paul resident Cindi Augustine and her one-year-old son, Anderson said.
Anderson also reported a man hiding behind a nearby building who turned out to be St. Paul resident John Augustine, Mrs. Augustine's husband. Mr. Augustine said he was avoiding being struck by Mrs. Augustine's Honda Civic.
However, according to Mrs. Augustine, she and her child had been abandoned by Mr. Augustine at a nearby restaurant. His refusal to reenter the vehicle was the source of the woman's frustration, the report said.
"In this case, we had a vehicle chasing a pedestrian. It was in the officer's best judgment to hold the vehicle while the driver calmed down and to allow Mr. Augustine to leave the scene peacefully. The abandonment claim was not substantiated at the time," said the chief of police in a statement.
This actually happened in 2002. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.
A shocking tell-all that will forever open your eyes is coming. This is the true story of John Augustine.

Unexpected things tend to happen when Ken Ward goes to trial. In 2014, he and fellow climate activist Jay O'Hara, having blockaded a coal tanker with a 32-foot lobster boat at Brayton Point in Massachusetts, saw their felony charges dropped and the district attorney join their side.
On January 30, in a courtroom in Skagit County, Washington, Ward—deputy director of Greenpeace USA in the 1990s and former president of the National Environmental Law Center—stood trial on felony charges for safely, nonviolently shutting down Kinder Morgan's TransMountain tar-sands oil pipeline. Though he faced up to 20 years in prison, Ward did not contest the facts of his case—indeed, he and his defense team provided a video of his action. Nevertheless, though Ward was denied the use of a "necessity defense" by the presiding judge (who during a pre-trial hearing had cast doubt on settled climate science), the jury was unable to reach a verdict, and a mistrial was declared. It was a stunning outcome, hailed by Ward's supporters far and wide as a victory of conscience. The prosecutors have decided that Ward will be retried, with the new trial date to be determined.
Ward, 60, was one of five nonviolent protesters who on October 11 of last year, with the support of the Climate Disobedience Center (co-founded in 2015 by Ward, O'Hara, and fellow activists Marla Marcum and Tim DeChristopher), turned the emergency block valves on pipelines in Washington, Montana, Minnesota, and North Dakota, successfully shutting down the flow of tar-sands oil into the United States from Canada. Reuters reported that the action "shook the North American energy industry," calling it "the biggest coordinated move on US energy infrastructure ever undertaken by environmental protesters." All five face serious felony charges, as do two members of their support team. One of the documentary filmmakers who captured the action in Minnesota faces misdemeanor charges, and filmmakers covering the other actions faced charges that have since been dropped.

Best 8 Seater Cars & People Movers For Australians
Are you in the market for an 8 seater car? These cars are great for bigger families, car pooling and of course family camping trips. Because of their versatility 8 seater cars are growing in popularity throughout Australia, but not all 8 seater cars are made equal. This is why we've created a list of the very best 8 seater cars currently available for sale in Australia.
Related: Australia's Best SUVs Compared
Best 8 Seater Cars
1. Mercedes Benz Viano
Mercedes is definitely one of the first names most people think of when they're thinking about car brands. Well known for its variety of highly luxurious vehicles, Mercedes has brought the same level of luxury their smaller vehicles are renowned for to the Viano. The Viano's luxurious interior as well as the quality of its exterior shell are why it is currently considered the best 8 seater car currently being sold in Australia.
Here are some of the Viano's best features:
- The Viano is powered by a V6 3.0 liter turbo diesel engine, making it the best 8 seater ride in the country at 165kW/440Nm. Its BlueEfficiency engine is also designed for maximum fuel efficiency(of around 8.6ltr/100km) and minimal emissions(with exhaust CO2 scores at 226g/km). This makes it a great drive for anyone who wants to save money on fuel and reduce their impact on the environment while still enjoying all the luxuries of a 8 seater car.
- The Viano features 8 trimmed seats draped with Lugano leather. It also features dashboard controls that rival what you expect to find in an E-class sedan and a command APS system with a 6.5 inch colour display. Voice recognition and HDD navigation give the Viano an extra level of luxury.
2. Volkswagen Transporter Shuttle
Designed to handle all kinds of roads well, this vehicle is perfect for the rugged driver. It might not be quite as luxurious as the Viano but it does still have a spacious interior capable of comfortably holding 8 people or quite a bit of cargo.
The Transporter Shuttle's best features are:
- The Shuttle comes with a total of 5 different engine options. All of these options are 2.8 litres and they range in power from 84PS to 180PS.
- It offers a rather respectable fuel efficiency of 30-32 miles per gallon. This is particularly impressive when compared to most other 8 seater cars.
- The Transporter Shuttle is equipped with far more safety features than many other 8 seater cars. These features include an electronic stabilizing system, traction control and multiple airbags.
Related: Australia's Best 7 Seater Cars
3. Chrysler Town and Country
The Chrysler Town and Country is an excellent choice for the average family. Its 3.6 liter engine makes it perfect for long journeys and like the others on this list its interior is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate all 8 people.
Some of the Chrysler Town and Country's best features are:
- This model comes with a 3.6 liter V6 engine which can produce 283HP and 260lb-ft torque.
- The Chrysler Town and Country offers a fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon on open roads and around 17 miles per gallon in cities.
- It has easily foldable back seats so it can accommodate large amounts of cargo.
- The Chrysler Town and Country has several safety features including anti-lock disk brakes, stability control, traction control and of course multiple airbags. This makes it one of the safest 8 seater cars currently on the Australian market.
4. Kia Grand Carnival
The Kia Grand Carnival is a very practical choice for big families, both affordable and spacious. It offers enough space for even taller people to be comfortable in the back seats.
Here are some of the Carnival's best features:
- The Carnival features an attractive van-like design.
- Upon purchase you can choose between a petrol engine and a diesel engine.
- The Grand Carnival is great for moving trailers with a 750KG towing capacity.
|Mercedes Benz
|BlueEfficiency V6 3.0 liter turbo diesel engine with voice recognition & HDD navigation, 8 trimmed seats draped with Lugano leather & amazing dashboard controls
|Transporter Shuttle
|5 different engine options from 84PS - 180PS with fuel efficiency of 30-32 mpg, safety features include electronic stabilizing system, traction control & multiple airbags
|Town and Country
|3.6 liter engine with spacious interior, one of the safest 8 seater cars in Australia
|Grand Carnival
|Affordable & best for big families or even taller people, can move trailers with 750 Kg load
|Heated leather seats with 2 sun roofs, sliding doors good for tight parking spaces
|6-way power seat for driver with option for manual recline, choice of 4-cylinder or V6 engines & includes a host other extra options
5. Toyota Tarago
The Toyota Tarago is an old favourite. Many people who bought the Tarago when the original model came out are still driving in it more than ten years later. If you're looking for an 8 seater car to last you a long time, the Tarago is one of the best models you can choose.
Some of the Toyota Tarago's best features are:
- Heated leather seats
- Two sun roofs that can both be opened to give the interior a nice airy feeling
- The seats in the second row offer a reclining option and even come with foot rests to make your passengers feel like they're traveling first class (these features come on two seats)
- Sliding doors are perfect for parking in tight spaces
6. Ford Explorer
Brought to you by one of the most well respected car companies in the world, the Ford Explorer is everything you would expect from the brand. It's a touch less spacious than most of the other cars on this list, but it's still an excellent model. There are actually two models of this car, the Explorer Limited and the Explorer Sport, which come with different visual trimmings but most of the same crucial features.
Here are some of the Ford Explorer's best features:
- Owners can choose a fuel efficient turbo-charged four cylinder engine instead of the standard V6 engine
- A six way power seat for the driver with a manual reclining option
- The Ford Explorer comes with different packages of extra options such as power-adjusted pedals, ventilated front seats and a navigation system
Purchasing an 8 seater car is a big decision, but you simply can't go wrong with one of these models. Take some time to think about which features matter most to you and try to find a dealer who will let you take the car for a test drive before you make a purchase. You never really know how you'll feel about a car until you're driving it!
8 Seater Vehicle Buying Guide
Before rushing to a car dealership, be sure you are armed with information essential to your purchase. It is never enough to like and tick a vehicle from a catalog. What is more important is your overall satisfaction after you have bought your new vehicle.
Size/Market Segment
Commercial vans are available in various sizes but in recent times, these minivans only come in single, full sized models.
Minivans have become significantly more expensive than previous year models. Although some vehicle brands provide you with cheaper models that start low at around the $20,000 range, most of them now start selling more than that. A host of additional equipment can lead luxury-lined models to go beyond $45,000 for starters.
Engines/Fuel Economy
V6 power has long been a standard among minivans. Expect more adequate engines to push acceleration with a combined 20 mpg. Only one manufacturer offers all-wheel drive.
Minivans are among the safest vehicles to drive on the road, armed with plenty of airbags and high-tech accident avoidance tech options. Consider crash test scores provided by the IIHS and the NHTSA.
Family-Friendly Features
Main features to look for in minivans include versatile seat configurations, power-slide doors, rear air-conditioning, entertainment system, and storage containers among others. Automatic climate control, smartphone interfaces, heated seats, USB ports, and WiFi as well as navigation systems, Bluetooth connectivity, and keyless start systems which used to be luxury features are now ordinary options for minivans.
Interior Seating
Family buyers must focus on the second row seat of a minivan because different models offer unique configurations or features that stand to benefit their users. If some units stow under the floor, others are fitted with built-in footstools.
Other models feature detachable center positions while some would slide laterally to hold three side by side child seats; some have these two combined. All modern minivans feature third row seat that fold neatly flat to the floor to accommodate more luggage. However, ease in doing so varies from one model to another.
Passenger Capacity/Interior Space
Minivans may comfortably seat 7 or 8 in and designs allow parents to move with ease to enable tending to young passengers.
Cargo Capacity
Minivans are superior to SUVs due to their passenger and cargo hauling capacity. Interiors are roomier than the new SUVs.
Operating Costs
We see SUVs as more stylish options compared to minivans when it comes to transporting family members to any destination but minivans are far better choices in terms of budget. The latter cost less to maintain and insure. They can carry more passengers without compromising positions. Compared to large crossovers, they consume lesser fuel and own more advantage vis-à-vis full-sized truck type SUVs.

Little Green
People often refer to Chorlton, where I live now in Manchester, as "leafy" or green – and to be sure, on a sunny day, it is certainly one of the nicer places to be. The scents of flowers and plants drift through the streets from various front gardens and parks to provide a reassuring sense that here at least, nature is asserting herself just a little. Still, moving between two cities throws up inevitable comparisons, and back in Glasgow for a few days, I couldn't help but think that there is nowhere quite like the city's beautiful West End, which really does come alive on a warm day (20 degrees Celsius!) with a combination of urban modernity and lovingly maintained foliage that most cities would really envy.
Well, Glasgow does mean "dear green place" after all. Or something like that. Maybe I'm getting nostalgic! Who would have thought I'd get more of a suntan North of the Border than down here? 🙂
Chorlton Still Life
A place imposes its character on the people who live there as much as they impose theirs on it. You probably notice this most when going from one "extreme" to another – for instance, from here in the UK to just about any "exotic" holiday destination. You also notice it when you move from the city to the suburbs. The tone, the mood, the subtle but clear sense of who people are and what you might encounter; everything in you has to re-tune itself. Responses, reactions, expectations. Habits. That's why families move to the suburbs after all. It's nice. It's lovely. And yet…on a two-hour walk today in the sunshine, my inner blogger struggled to find those angles that make me want to reach into my bag, grab my camera, and think about what I might write.
Where I was living for the past 6 months was dominated by a huge shopping arcade. It was full of chainstores and bright lights and drunk teenagers and tourist attractions. A homeless guy set up camp on our front steps for three days without anyone really even noticing. The surrounding area was pretty much a building site. I could open the window and hear arguments, music, trains, trams. But hey, it was never long before I spotted something I could blog about – and nobody would usually even care that I was taking a picture. So, yeah, it's a bit of a culture shift, more so than I expected. Maybe it's just easier to blog in the city: to find novelty or something jarring which triggers inspiration. Doubtless, it's all about state-of-mind. Isn't it nicer just to let the pleasant, fresh air surround you? To watch the spring trees gently sway and sigh as you wander along? (Yeah yeah, I'm waxing lyrical). After all, how many nature photographs can you try to take? People will get suspicious if you photograph their cute little shop fronts or their terraced houses too openly. 😉
I don't want to fall into using easy adjectives: it's not just that the centre of the city is more urgent, more vibrant, more messy, more dirty, more brutal, more asynchronous, more commercial, more full of "life". Or that in contrast, everything outside its radius is cosy, safe, warm and the picture of perfection. Of course not. And hey, Chorlton is only 20 minutes away by bus! But let's not split hairs because my feelings today have made me think momentarily about Raymond Williams and about the dual narratives we get caught up in…that get woven…about the city and the country (and now the suburbs) and what they represent. It's not just symbolic, it's not just about poetry and politics. People can bring about the very shifts that they've seen reflected through ages – that they aspire to – when they set an area up, or move into it. With all of its independent bars, shops, pubs, charity shops, second-hand shops, festivals and organic produce, Chorlton manages to represent something quite special.
So, I'm thinking of my change of immediate scene as a challenge. Here, there are new types of attitude and unfamiliar environments to find little gems in. I guess it's all about staying alert and curious!
Back to Nature
Although I admit to being a big fan of city centre rhythms, one of the best things about moving to Chorlton is definitely its proximity to some truly tranquil "Urban countryside". A very short walk from our front door and, passing through the amazingly cute little conservation village of Chorltonville towards Chorlton Eees Nature Reserve and the Mersey Valley, here is what you can find:
Woodland, meadows, grassland, a mosaic of meandering pathways and a variety of birds, fish and flowers…Chorlton Brook calmly flows by on its way upstream into the Mersey. A proper trip to Chorlton Water Park (which was a farm and water meadows until the 1950s) is definitely in order at some point. In the sunshine, it seems almost like another world: not a football fan in sight, yet still the police are on horseback…

CW 899 FBF - Apartment Fund Listener Q&A With Andrew – Buying Into Investment Funds Breaking Jason's 3rd Commandment
Massive shifts in the world economy are coming and may be as soon as 2020. The United States has the unique opportunity to take charge of the change through technological breakthroughs that will lead us down the utopian path. In addition, the U.S. is still the best country in which to make real estate investments. But if you do it be wise about it. Private investments are one of the safest vehicles to create your wealth. Be wary of group investment funds which put the control of the funds in someone else's hands. Jason cautions his listeners against this type of investing. Before signing any deal read every word of the paperwork.

A. Lotus Notes 5 includes a Client Single User Logon option that lets a user access Lotus Notes without entering a password. Systems that use this feature run the Lotus Notes version of ngina.dll. When you attempt to connect to such a system, an incompatibility with the XP Remote Desktop version of ngina.dll results in the following error:
"You cannot initiate a Remote Desktop Connection because the Windows logon software on the remote computer has been replaced by incompatible software ngina.dll. To correct this problem, please have the administrator of the remote computer contact the program vendor for a version that is compatible with Windows."
Lotus Notes always installs its own version of ngina.dll but only enables this file when you use the Client Single User Logon option. This option is set in the registry at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL registry subkey.
To resolve the error, uninstall then reinstall Lotus Notes 5 without enabling the Client Single User Logon option. Although you might be tempted to simply delete the GinaDLL registry value, this action will corrupt the Lotus Notes single user logon feature.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about the benefits of joining
I do not feel respected in my workplace
Union members back each other up. Our first priority is to ensure that the work of our members is recognized and valued by employers.
I am not treated fairly
Unions help you file official grievances. Every SEIU bargaining unit has union stewards who are responsible for ensuring that employers do not violate the terms of their contract.
I have trouble making my issues heard
When we band together we have a louder voice. Together we build strength. Our MRC specialists can help you improve the working lives of others through an involvement with one of our standing committees.
I am being bullied by management
As unions get stronger, management can't just do what it wants. Our MRC specialists can answer questions about your collective agreement or your rights as a worker.
I do not feel that my job is secure or stable
One of the biggest priorities for a union is to fight job insecurity. SEIU's members earn high wages, enjoy more workplace benefits, experience a higher level of job satisfaction and are more productive on the job than non-unionized workers employed in the same sector.
I am not paid enough for the work I do
Collective bargaining is the best chance for higher wages. By working together, union members have the strength to negotiate with their employers to set new wages, salaries and raises.
I would like better benefits
You won't be alone in your struggle. With a union, we are actively working to improve benefits and conditions of employment, such as vacation time, health and safety policy. In addition, SEIU members receive special member discounts on popular products and services.
I am worried about my health or safety
You deserve better. We continue to lobby government for safety laws that protect health care workers from workplace injuries. Our MRC specialists can help connect you with a workplace activist, such as a steward or a Health & Safety member.

Keith Emerich – the self-described "Joe Six-Pack" who lost his driver's license after telling a doctor that he drinks up to 10 Budweisers a day – can get back on the road, a judge has ruled, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. Before he can drive, Emerich must install an "ignition interlock," a built-in blood-alcohol breath test that requires the driver to exhale below 0.025 percent before the car will start. The state's legally prohibited level for most drivers is 0.08. "Just think of the stigma that's going to put on me, blowing into some tube just to start your car," Emerich, 44, said "This is how I'm being treated, like some common criminal. And all I did was go to the doctor."
An irregular heartbeat led Emerich to a hospital in February. Emerich acknowledged drinking six to 10 beers a day. Doctors told him the alcohol was damaging his heart. Two months later, he received a letter from the state revoking his license. The decision was based on the doctor's judgment that Emerich had an alcohol problem. Pennsylvania is one of only six states that direct physicians to report drivers with potentially dangerous medical conditions. It is the only state to list alcohol abuse as a problem that should be brought to official attention. About 230 Pennsylvania drivers lost licenses last year after doctors reported their drug or alcohol addiction. "We're happy that it gives him a chance to drive, but the ruling doesn't answer the ultimate question: Why isn't he able to drive when he hasn't done anything wrong?" said Horace M. Ehrgood, Emerich's attorney.

The goal of the STEMseeds STEM Integration Camp is to provide opportunities for teachers to experience classroom STEM/STEAM lessons from a student perspective and develop STEM lesson facilitation skills. This multi-day workshop is designed for both fulltime STEM/STEAM teachers as well as teachers of other content areas interested in integrating STEM lesson activities and pedagogies into their curriculum. Teachers will learn the engineering design process in the institute by participating a variety of hands-on, multi-disciplinary projects. Participants will learn how the design process, measurement, budgeting, coding, data collection and analysis, and prototyping can be combined in engaging student lessons. Participants will be introduced, through hands-on lessons, to the "constructionist" learning philosophy of Seymour Papert. In addition, strategies to encourage and support "computational thinking" in lesson activities utilizing coding will be explored. STEMseeds participants will learn a variety of specific, realistic strategies and project ideas to integrate into upcoming classroom lessons with students.
Our June 2014 STEM Seeds Camp focused on:

text: ETSI forms new industry group for smart city solutions16 Jan 2017 04:18 PM Easy Global Market, imec, NEC, Orange and Telefonica co-found new group to promote interoperability solutions for IoT applications to help smart cities integrate servicesNEC Laboratories Europe is one of five members of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) which have initiated a new ETSI Industry Specification Group on Context Information Management (ISG CIM), together with the Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) organisation. The ISG CIM will specify open standards for the context information management layer, running 'on top' of IoT platforms, enabling implementation of context-aware behaviour in smart applications.This context information management layer accesses and updates information coming from different sources (IoT networks and information systems) that comprise the semantics of information, including data source, time of validity, ownership and many more.This will dramatically extend the interoperability of applications, helping smart cities to integrate their existing services and enable new third-party services. Cities are striving to use digital services to advance the quality of life of their residents, the efficiency of their operations, the growth of their economies and to increase their sustainability.At the moment, telecommunication systems, city infrastructure databases, car traffic management systems, and new Internet of Things (IoT) solutions all have their own specifications, and smart cities are held back by lack of interoperability for exchange of information between these platforms – which the new ISG CIM aims to overcome. A focus of the group will be collaboration with other standardisation activities in related areas, including ETSI TC SmartM2M and ETSI PP oneM2M. Groups such as EIP-SCC, W3C or ITU-T, and open source IoT software platforms such as FIWARE and OM2M will be closely consulted.The goal is to interoperate and to re-use existing work as much as possible. The ISG CIM work is intended to align with the EU's standardisation policies for the Digital Single Market. The five ETSI members of the new ISG CIM are Easy Global Market, imec, NEC, Orange and Telefonica. Beyond the initial focus of smart cities, the approach will be transferable to other applications, such as smart agriculture and smart industry. Organisations from all areas are welcome to join the ISG CIM initiative: non-ETSI as well as ETSI members, including research organisations, software houses and system integrators, SMEs, industrial partners, city groups and other stakeholders. The official ISG CIM Terms of Reference is available at: https://portal.etsi.org/tb.aspx?tbid=854&SubTB=854A call for participation to the first ISG CIM General Meeting on 9-10 February at ETSI headquarters in Sophia Antipolis, France, has been issued to ETSI Members. Anyone interested in attending should send enquiries to the convenor of the first ISG CIM meeting, Dr. Lindsay Frost (NEC Laboratories Europe, email@example.com).
