Reporter gives eyewitness account after 2 people shot at New Jersey mall
NorthJersey.com reporter Scott Fallon reports after a shooting at the Newport Centre mall in Jersey City, NJ on Friday, Jan. 11, 2019. Scott Fallon, Staff Writer, @NewsFallon
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Two people were shot at a New Jersey mall Friday night and two more were in custody in a possible act of gang-related violence, officials said.
The shooting occurred at around 6 p.m. at the Newport Centre mall in Jersey City.
The two victims were taken to a local hospital with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and arm, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop said during a news conference.
No "friendly person" was struck by gunfire, Police Chief Michael Kelly said.
Authorities did not confirm whether one of the people in custody was the shooter. Witnesses said the shooting was in the food court on the third floor of the mall.
Scott Fallon, a reporter for NorthJersey.com and the USA TODAY Network, had taken the day off and was at the mall with his wife, Dawn, and daughter, Emma, when the shooting occurred.
To celebrate Emma's 6th birthday, the family had attended a screening of "A Dog's Way Home" in the movie theater, which shares space with the food court on the mall's third level, when he heard gunfire.
"I heard a thump," he said. "It may have been just one shot. I heard screaming and then an avalanche of people started running from the food court."
Fallon had been on his way to the men's room.
"I immediately turned and ran like hell back to where Dawn and Emma were," he said. "I said, 'There's been a shooting.' I grabbed Emma, held her in my arms and we ran through some exit doors into a hallway behind the theaters."
They huddled there with a scared Swedish tourist named Ali who had become separated from his friends in the panic that erupted after the shooting, Fallon said, called the police and 911 and waited for authorities to arrive.
After about 20 minutes, he said, he heard footsteps and the sounds from police radios in a service stairwell off the hallway.
"I knew it was the police, but I was afraid," he said. "I didn't want to startle them. I told Ali, 'Get your hands up.' I told Dawn to move out of the shadow where she was holding Emma at the time. 'Move into the light.' I took my hands out and I yelled through the door, 'There's civilians here!' and they said, 'Open the door.'
"I opened the door slowly," he said. "They had their guns drawn. They came in, they knew we weren't a threat, and they escorted us down the stairwell with their guns drawn."
They emerged into the frigid January cold with a large crowd of people who also had been evacuated from the mall.
"People were on their cellphones," he said. "I thought people would be more panicked. I thought people wouldn't be around the entrance. I wanted to get as far away as possible from there. I'm actually still feeling uneasy being a block or two away."
Jersey City police referred questions to spokeswoman Ashley Manz. A message left for Manz was not immediately returned. A message left for a Hudson County Prosecutor's Office spokesman was also not returned.
Adnane Jaballah of Jersey City said he heard the shooting.
"From nowhere we start hearing shots," Jaballah said. "It was like four or five shots. Everybody go down and people surrounding everywhere, everybody throwing everything."
Video posted to social media shows people rushing out of the door of the mall near the Zinburger.
The mall is a three-level, 1.2 million square-foot building near the PATH station that attracts 13 million shoppers annually, according to its website.

(post originally appeared on Feb 23, 2012)
As I sat in the rows of an Anglican Church on Ash Wednesday, I was struck by an idea- those who are in Christ are marked and sealed as a community of the cross. Those in churches who observe Lent and Ash Wednesday receive ash on the forehead as a sign of repentance and our mortality. As I wrote on last year's Ash Wednesday,
"We are reminded that we are dust, and to dust we shall all one day return (Gen 3:19). Nevertheless, in the bad news of our condition, we are given a glimpse of hope. The ash placed on the forehead is in the form of a cross, and it is the reminder of the good news that, though we might be crushed by our enemies (as the psalmists often reminds us), we can look to the "founder and perfecter of the faith" for ultimate preservation."
For those who are in Christ, we are sealed as a community of the cross. The ash on our foreheads points us to the reminder that we are shaped by the cross of Christ. Others in the congregation also are marked in the same manner, which leads to the recognition that we are all in life together. We are rooted in Christ and in the community of the Church. We are a people who are shaped by the cross- the reality that Christ was crucified, is risen, and will come again.
Indeed, we are but dust and to dust we shall return. While we have contemplated the ultimate destiny of all humanity on Ash Wednesday, let us also find comfort for being in Christ. For those who are in Christ, returning to dust is but an end to the beginning of the story. As I was reminded in a post by Jordan Ballor at Acton, death will put an end to sinning (Luther once said that while we are here on earth all we can do is sin!). We shall find rest as well, as eternal life transcends the false assumptions of one big harp-playing concert. Life after life after death will be glorious. So take heart, for God shall raise you up in glory from the mortal dust of our bodies!
But for now we wait, and serve the King of Kings, for Christ shall come again. Amen.

Why Install When I Can Dockerize?Monday, March 2nd, 2015
I haven't posted in forever. This post is mostly so I can break that streak. As such, there may be a lack of super interesting things in it.
Software Rant
I'll avoid the tired "containers are just encapsulation, man" rant. I might normally make the whole "nothing new under the sun" point if it weren't for the fact that the I'm currently mired in how wrong I think the "microservices are just SOA" crowd is. Just be glad that people are interested in the new thing and hope that they make it shinier.
I dislike having to install things on my laptop. Not everything, of course, but I don't want to install something for every little thing I want to play around with. Everything starts with install Ruby, Python, Go, D, Node.js then let them install who knows what (because everybody has to reinvent the package manager), who knows where, and create whatever inter-version incompatibilities they feel like. Then I wind up on StackOverflow trying to figure out the installation and debugging tricks those communities take for granted.
Sadly I still wind up with most of this shit on my box thanks to a handful of awesome tools like Ansible and Vagrant. I know it's ironic but I still have to draw the line somewhere.
WiFi Rant
So, I'm working at Google now (if you say congratulations I will punch you in the taint) and taking the bus to work. The bus has very shitty WiFi so to pass the time I either read e-books or watch downloaded content. XFinity has the best DVR option for this since their Android app will let you download anything you've recorded for offline viewing–fucking bad ass. Netflix and TiVo (and YouTube I believe) think that super awesome, streamy, creamy WiFi is everywhere. It's not and companies that don't support offline viewing hate America, freedom, and teenage Jesus. You really don't hear enough about teen Jesus…
Then I thought it'd be great to download some of the blog post backlog I have in Feedly (my RSS reader currently because fucking Google shut down Reader). That'd let me catch up on some of the stuff that falls under the "sharpening the tools" category of time wasting. Unfortunately 95% of the stuff in there comes from InfoQ which, to their credit, have video AND slides synced in their presentations. This means simply downloading video alone isn't good enough. What's a boy to do?
"Someone Beat Me to it" Rant
Someone else already wrote something to download InfoQ presentations for offline viewing. Since it's written in Python I took it for a test drive in a VM to avoid unnecessary dependency baggage from invading my system. The sumbitch works like a charm. It pulls everything into a folder and creates an HTML page you can use for offline viewing.
Fine. So I don't get to do that as a fun mini-project. I could still do something cool with Docker. For this post I don't care if Docker (or Rocket) will save the world. I care that I can encapsulate a bunch of shit into a container that is lighter weight than a virtual machine and treat it like a command. The inspiration came in the form of someone else's post that takes it even further with X11 applications. Baby steps.
Well some motherfucker beat me to that, too. Luckily though he used a bad naming convention and I couldn't get his container to work. So I built my own any way.
What Did I Accomplish?
I now have a bash script that wraps the slightly onerous Docker command to launch my container and download an InfoQ presentation for offline viewing. Yay! I also got to increase my public GitHub footprint (never a bad thing).
I learned that Docker handles host to container file permissions badly, Docker security has a long way to go, Docker Hub has some pretty nice continuous integration options for GitHub projects that have Dockefiles, and finally that I think it's better to waste 458mb of disk space to avoid putting more Python stuff on my laptop. Not a bad Saturday afternoon.

One woman was killed and as many as 10 people were injured when a party bus crashed into a car in the San Francisco Bay Area, Calif., Sunday morning
At about 2:05 a.m., the driver of a Honda coupe traveling southbound on U.S. Highway 101 in Burlingame collided with the center divide, California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel said.
The vehicle came to rest facing northbound in the left lane, he said.
According to preliminary information, a party bus heading south crashed head-on with the disabled Honda, Montiel said.
A woman in her 30s who was a passenger in the Honda was killed and pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
The driver was taken to Stanford Hospital with major injuries.
Ten people aboard the bus were taken to hospitals with moderate injuries, according to the CHP.
Both parties in the Honda had allegedly consumed alcohol before the crash, according to the CHP.
No arrests have been made.
The incident remains under investigation by the CHP

100 Top Genealogy Websites
Genealogy In Time Magazine has just published their annual 100 Top Websites list. These are the genealogy websites that are most frequently used. They also do an analysis of the trends, in particular certain large companies that are coming to dominate the field. But even among the free sites there are interesting trends.
I took advantage of the opportunity of trying out some of the free sites that I hadn't tried before. It never hurts to add a few new tools to your tool chest. Maybe give some of them a try.
100 Top Websites
I had a frantic phone call this morning. My daughter had a flat tire on her way to church, and was stranded on the highway miles from anywhere. I grabbed a jack and X-wrench, since I didn't know whether her old car had these necessities. I also put on "grubbies" and grabbed a toque and some leather gloves.
When I reached her car, I found a burgundy-colored Dodge crewcab behind her with the hazard lights flashing. A young family had stopped to help her. The father had the car jacked up but my daughter's wheel wrench would not fit the lug nuts nor would theirs. My X-wrench worked perfectly. In 10 or 15 minutes we had the temporary spare tire installed and the shredded tire stowed in my trunk.
These nice people had made a special effort to help a stranded motorist. I hope I think of them the next time I read the parable of the good Samaritan, because they really exemplified this lesson that Jesus taught.
If you read this message and recognize yourselves, thanks again! People like you make this world a much nicer place for all of us.

In an effort to help preserve the historic course, club membership association volunteers have been maintaining the greens, grounds, and fairways since late August after owners Harry and Jacqui Shepherd packed up and went back to England without notice.
"We're certainly trying to get in contact with all the appropriate people," said association president Dale Hoyt. "Technically (the property) isn't in receivership but there are some large creditors owed," including a mortgage.
For the time being, the volunteers are being permitted to operate the course and the pro-shop, but not the restaurant, said Hoyt, but that could change. "Everything is moving at a snail's pace," he said.
Unique Situation
Hoyt said it is a unique situation and one that no one really has an answer for yet. The one thing the association does know is "we've got to keep the course in shape," or it won't take long for it to deteriorate. "If this had happened in June it would have been a disaster," said Hoyt. "Now we've only got about five or six more weeks before the grass stops growing. If we can get through the next five or six weeks it should be okay. Hopefully we will be allowed to continue."
In the meantime, golfers are enjoying the course. "We are still experiencing quite a bit of traffic both from visitors and members," said Hoyt, with numerous people adding their names to a list of volunteers who want to help in any way they can.
In an Aug. 31 Facebook post, Hoyt thanked Sid Young at the Pro Shop for helping steer the ship under the current conditions.
Young was at his desk at the pro shop that day handling calls and talking with major creditors. Golfers weren't paying green fees, they were making donations. Supporters were calling from as far away as the United States. One man made a donation of $250 that Young said would keep the mowing going for four days.
Chipping In
Two golfers from the Digby area dropped in for a round and had no problem chipping in to keep the golf course open.
"I hope it can keep going," said golfer Murray Ungurain. "I'm sorry to hear that it happened to the owners. I don't know their situation but I'm hoping the course will stay open."
He described the Annapolis Royal Golf and Country Club as an area landmark, something that was always there when he was growing up and going to school in Annapolis Royal.
"It's a beautiful little course with nice views," he said. Before last Thursday he'd played the course a couple of times already this year. He describes himself as a duffer and golfs to relax. "I like golfing here."
He's got a lot of feelings about the course.
"It's nostalgic and it's a comfort zone," he said. "And it brings back a lot of good memories. I've golfed here with people who have since passed away. Those memories are all there."
He also noted that people came to the club not just to golf but for the restaurant, wedding receptions, and other social events.
Plans are still to hold the ninth annual Tournament of Kings golf tournament fundraiser at the Annapolis Royal course on Saturday, Sept. 9 in support of nearby King's Theatre. The dinner and awards portion of the tournament will be held Hillsdale House, said Janet Larkman, King's Theatre general manager.
"The tournament is a major fundraiser for us," said Larkman, adding the event receives amazing support from the community both in terms of sponsorship as well as volunteerism.
Hoyt said the association is also hoping plans for two more tournaments including the Chick Caldwell's memorial tournament, and the Annapolis West Education Centre (AWEC) 2018 Grad fundraiser tournament will also be able to proceed.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
The Developing Child is the fifth program in the DISCOVERING PSYCHOLOGY series. This program introduces examples of cognitive, perceptual, and behavioral development in children. You'll explore the roles of heredity and environment in child development, and children's incremental understanding of such phenomena as object permanence, symbolic reasoning, and perception of visual depth.
Interview Excerpt: Judy Deloache on Symbolic Reasoning
Researcher Judy Deloache describes how children's recognition of scale models as representations reflects development of symbolic reasoning.
One of the most distinctive human characteristics is the ability to understand and use symbols. We have a variety of symbol systems in our everyday lives. We use language, we read, we use pictures, and we understand computer programs. We're not born with this ability, so what I'm studying are the earliest forms of symbolic reasoning that a child understands, and when that cognitive ability to reason develops.
Specifically, I'm concerned with a child's understanding of a scale model, a symbol, that represents a larger space. When the child sees the scale model of a miniature playroom, does the child understand that this little playroom represents a bigger room? And when does a child acquire symbolic understanding? The interesting feature of this research is that we see an abrupt change between ages two-and-a-half and three in a child's ability to understand scale models. When we experiment with scale models of playrooms, the two-and-a-half-year-old doesn't understand the relationship between the symbolic room and the actual room, and instead treats it as a separate object. The three-year-old, on the other hand, understands immediately that the model is a symbol for an actual room.
In becoming symbolic creatures, we learn to think abstractly. At age three, children acquire the ability to think about things in two different ways at the same time: as both an object and a symbol for something else. Acquiring symbolic understanding is an important milestone in the cognitive development that helps us figure out how the world operates. Later in life, for example, we use it to read maps and understand languages.
This research helps us appreciate the complexity of human thought in young children. The clearer our knowledge of what children know, the better we can work with them as educators and as parents.

Eighty-three percent of the 432 survey respondents representing more than 20 federal agencies have fully or partially identified the first three applications they intend to migrate to the cloud. However, only 25 percent have fully migrated at least one legacy application to the cloud, while a further 47 percent say their first migration is in progress.

Cloud market gets boost with FedRAMP release
Former federal CIO Vivek Kundra launched the cloud-first mandate in December 2010, stipulating that federal agencies should migrate at least one existing application to the cloud by the end of 2011 and two additional applications by mid-2012.
Cloud computing provides on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or interaction from the service provider.
"Federal IT managers recognize that cloud solutions will be an important part of their future. But many of them are pushing back against the tight timelines imposed by the cloud-first" mandate, Ponemon and Gould said. Sixty-nine percent of IT managers say the cloud-first framework schedule is too fast. Seventy-one percent say that pressure to move to the cloud is inadvertently creating greater security risks for their agencies, according to the survey.
IT managers' "doubts about cloud security and the accelerated pace of cloud migration feed a belief that this issue is driven in part by politics," the writers said.
Sixty-nine percent of IT managers say one of the most important reasons their agencies are moving to cloud is to comply with the political mandate, while only 35 percent cite cost savings. Responses from non-IT managers are exactly reversed: 76 percent of non-IT managers say cost reduction is a primary reason for moving to cloud, compared to only 48 percent who cite the political mandate.
"Federal managers aren't yet persuaded that the cloud will be a significant money saver, because they don't have enough experience with cloud solutions to know what the true long-term costs will be," Ponemon and Gould said.
Forty-two percent of respondents agree that cloud computing will result in some degree of cost savings for their agency (though only 12 percent believe the savings will be "significant"). But a surprising 25 percent believe that cloud will actually cause costs to go up, while 33 percent say its impact will be neutral," according to the survey.
Some other findings of the survey include:
The results of the survey highlight the need for OMB and the General Services Administration to provide greater transparency about cloud security and more credible data about the true cost of cloud services, according to SafeGov.org officials.
Cloud-first was launched as a top-down political mandate from OMB to the user agencies. At that time, imposing an ambitious timeline was an effective way to show agency managers and Congress that the Obama administration was serious about reforming federal IT. But now that agencies have embraced the concept of cloud computing, there should be a more flexible approach, SafeGov.org officials said.
"We know the transition to the cloud is going to happen," Gould said. "But this survey's findings show that agencies are still in need of education on the cloud and how they will transition effectively."
"The key is for agencies to gather as much information as possible and work closely with their vendors to find the most cost-effective and secure option for their respective organizations," he said.

A&D companies expect to lose twice as many employees as they hire, and looming budget cuts raise the specter of mass layoffs
Sometime in the next three months, Anthony Eddy may receive a layoff notice. The 29-year-old engineer has had several different assignments during his six-year career at Lockheed Martin, rising to the position of communications systems lead, a post in which he designs and tests satellites at a facility near Philadelphia. He is heavily involved in R&D and just finished his master's degree in electrical engineering.
Like nearly half his fellow aerospace and defense (A&D) professionals under 30, Eddy still owes money on student loans racked up a decade ago while he was earning his B.S. degree in electrical engineering at Purdue University. He was not skating through on borrowed money; he worked two internships at a major A&D company, served as a dorm resident adviser to offset housing costs and has been paying off his loans faster than required.
Robert Stevens, Lockheed Martin's outgoing CEO, warned lawmakers in July that the company may be forced to cut 10,000 jobs—about 8% of its workforce—if Congress fails to halt another $500 billion in automatic cuts to the defense budget due to take effect next January under a process known as sequestration. The hope is that a lame-duck Congress will reach a compromise after the November elections to forestall the cuts to Pentagon spending.
But A&D contractors cannot wait until then. By law, they must give employees advance notice of major layoffs or facility closures. Add to that the massive legal penalties that would have to be paid to unravel major military programs. And so, the industry heads into the unknown, and young workers like Eddy are left to wait and wonder.
Uncertainty about which defense programs will be cut, and how deeply, already has the industry hunkering down, as revealed by Aviation Week's 2012 Workforce Study, which garnered responses from 37 companies that employ 80% of the U.S. A&D sector. These companies plan to hire 28,000 workers this year—about as many as the entire staff at Google. But the U.S. A&D industry will lose twice that many employees—56,000—to attrition and retirements, pushing total employment below 600,000 for the first time since 2004.
There are bright spots amid the gloom. Record backlogs of commercial jets at Boeing and Airbus are reflected in green-field manufacturing sites, which are sprouting from Singapore to Mobile, Ala., where Airbus plans to open an A320 final assembly line on Boeing's home turf. Other pockets of growth focus on alternative fuels, information technology and cyberdefense, where expertise in supporting government national security agencies can be leveraged to meet the needs of hospitals, financial institutions and local utilities.
"Every aerospace and defense company I've talked to is trying to achieve the right size, and as part of that they are both hiring and reducing," says Richard Stephens, Boeing's senior vice president for administration and human resources. "We have been working to get the workforce right." As defense budgets turn down in the U.S. and Europe, Stephens sees an industry that is more diversified than it was a decade ago. "Yes, there is a very large defense component, but we go beyond defense," he says. "We are much more diversified."
But if you are betting that soaring orders for commercial aircraft will soak up all the jobs lost to defense cuts, think again. Respondents to Aviation Week's survey plan to make just 15,609 civil aerospace hires during the next five years. Those same companies plan to hire 102,735 new employees for defense jobs—if the sequestration cuts can somehow be avoided.
That goal, elusive as it may seem, has kept Marion Blakey on her feet for months. Blakey, president and CEO of the U.S. Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), has been prodding, cajoling and issuing dire warnings as she tries to stop the march toward sequestration. Working with a George Mason University professor, Stephen S. Fuller, and Chmura Economics and Analytics, the AIA calculates that sequestration will create a bow wave of economic devastation that will ripple across the industry and spill over into other sectors such as construction, wiping out more than 2 million jobs and pushing the U.S. unemployment rate back above 9%.
Blakey has been so effective at sounding the alarm that anxiety has spread to many corners of the A&D workforce. "I just met with a group of young professionals, and the first question they had was, 'What is the impact of sequestration on us?'" says Wanda Austin, CEO at The Aerospace Corp.
Austin's response was to remind employees of their purpose. "I asked them, 'Why did you choose this field to begin with?' We need to remind ourselves we are about exploration, discovering new capabilities, the fabulous things we do through space. Space isn't just up there; it is part of our daily life, like turning on the lights. Focus on this: 'What are you doing that is of value?'"
But Austin is not blind to reality: Respondents to the workforce survey plan to make just 1,420 hires in the space sector during the next five years. The Aerospace Corp. has aggressively looked to identify and weed out redundancies or duplications, while working with employees to update their skills and experience to match where the company's customers are heading.
Among other highlights of this year's workforce survey:
•Finding skilled workers. Respondents believe the most important factor for future success is a well-trained workforce. Eighty-two percent identified this as the most important element for business success, ahead of innovation and mergers and acquisitions.
The biggest growth roadblock for Acutec Precision Machining of Saegertown, Pa., is finding skilled machinists. To deal with the shortage, the company developed an on-site training program that puts senior machinists in the roles of teachers. The company also partners with area trade schools and is attracting interest from high school students, says Patrick Faller, who leads Acutec's human resources.
But even where workers are plentiful, they often lack key skills. States investing in vocational programs and training packages for new jobs have an advantage in winning new factory locations. These are not the manufacturing plants of the past with thousands of workers streaming in as a whistle blows in the background and smoke billows from a stack. The new sites are highly automated, focused on high-performance work teams, and require a higher level of basic skills. Line workers are using hand-held devices and computers, programming in control options and assessing possible disruptions and problems.
So while manufacturing looms as a people issue, what worries study respondents more is the need for people who can dream and create; developing new technologies, products and service; connecting the dots between what is possible and anticipating the next need. Stephens and his peers across the industry also are keenly aware of the need to nurture that new generation of technical talent. "I don't know of anyone who is backing off the push for quality and quantity in terms of STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] professionals," he says.
Survey respondents say this is their top concern: shortages in design, development and basic science. Within this category, the shortages tend to focus on software development, aerospace, mechanical, electrical and systems engineering.
The U.S. graduates 72,000 new engineers each year. Over the next two years, A&D companies plan to hire 8,100 engineers, as well as 3,000 software developers. They will be competing for them with the likes of Google, Apple, Microsoft, the oil and gas industry, and Wall Street.
The notion that there is a shortage of applicants is incorrect, according to members of the 2012 Workforce Advisory Board, who helped Aviation Week analyze the results of the survey. Rather, human resource departments are often flooded with applicants who know the keywords that will get them through online application screening but lack the high-level knowledge and experience needed for many positions in A&D.
And in some cases, companies that cannot find employees with the necessary skills are building classrooms. BAE Systems' U.S.–based Intelligence & Security sector set up a training facility for intel analysts. Now the company is duplicating that effort in cyber, where it trains both BAE employees and customers about cutting-edge cyberforensics that focus on what information cyberattackers are after and how they are trying to access it.
"A few universities are offering training capabilities, but they're very early in the process," says DeEtte Gray, president of the sector. "It's challenging to recruit and clear individuals in the cyber and IT markets, so we're focused on establishing our own training capabilities in order to enhance the skill set of our workforce."
While respondents point to engineering/R&D and manufacturing as areas of opportunity, they also point to looming shortages in program management and business development. After a more than decade-long campaign focused on developing program leadership bench strength, leaders are concerned that cuts to defense programs will send this talent to other industries when the opportunity arises.
•Where the jobs are. Those looking for work in the U.S. A&D industry can find it in manufacturing/operations or the defense/security sector. And, if you are qualified, jobs are available in engineering, software development, sustainment/ maintenance, repair and overhaul, as well as hourly production. About half of the 28,000 positions that respondents plan to fill this year are in the Northeast or Southeast U.S.
Easily three-quarters of the jobs that companies plan to add are in defense and security—again, assuming sequestration is somehow averted—and 10% will require security clearances. But with even the most optimistic CEOs predicting that defense spending will decline at the rate of inflation in 2013 and 2014, sharp drops are projected in defense and security hiring. Space is even more dismal: Respondents expect just 200 hires next year in the sector.
•Pushing out retirement. Slightly more than 12% of the industry's workforce were eligible for retirement in 2011; a mere 1.2% took it.
The highest rates of actual retirement for 2011 were in hourly production and the R&D job functions. Hourly manufacturing employees were twice as likely to take retirement as other employees. The challenge is bigger for the largest of companies, where more than 25% of employees are eligible to retire, a figure that will rise to 30% by 2013.
If the economy rebounds and lifts the value of 401(k) plans, will the industry be hit with a wave of retirements? It seems likely that not all retiree positions will be filled. More than 200,000 workers could retire by 2015, yet Aviation Week's survey finds that companies are planning to make just 120,000 hires during that time.
So far, the retirement deferrals have largely protected companies from brain drain. But the flip side is that there is no headroom to promote younger workers—the traditional way to recognize quality work. Aviation Week's study indicates that recognition and the ability to contribute to meaningful work are critical to engaging employees, of all ages, in the business. This will be among the most significant challenges faced by companies.
Despite budget cuts and the stalemate in Congress, the industry must continue to hire. Headcount will drop owing to the combination of retirements, voluntary attrition and slower hiring. But make no mistake; hiring will continue. In an industry where development cycles stretch into years but 14% of 2011 revenues came from new products, organizations must learn to balance the needs of talented people of all ages.
The winners, say members of the study advisory team, will be the organizations that can identify the people they need, by name, what they're working on and the risk of their leaving.
Such companies will define jobs more specifically, with clarity around the skills required. They will partner with universities to create internships and cooperative job experiences that pull young people into the industry, and they will offer them the kinds of pay, sign-on bonuses and other benefits needed to lure them away from other high-stake industries. Employers will brand and market themselves to the sharpest minds on college campuses and in other industries, while paying attention to the needs of current employees. Most important, the winning organizations' leaders will rally the troops behind a clear vision of what needs to be done.
So what happens to Anthony Eddy? The data indicate that young professionals continue to look for jobs, but the rate of voluntary attrition has dropped from more than 20% three years ago to 12% in 2011. Of those who looked for a new job in 2011 and found one, 20% left A&D for another industry. But Eddy does not think he will be joining them.
"I feel pretty confident about my career right now," he says. "If [sequestraton] happens, we have pretty good exposure to the commercial side, so there's enough work for me to be gainfully employed. I'm not looking for another job."

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 11, No. 2 Fall 1984
J. Edward Ketz
Abstract: This article shows that the concept of income measurement goes back at least to Biblical times. The institution of tithing is examined and is seen to imply a concept of income.
In a recent paper, Hagerman described several accounting con-cepts used in the Bible.1 He found that the Bible described, in general terms, the purposes of financial accounting, the rationale for internal control procedures and some ways to implement them, and examples of managerial accounting. Thus, many of the funda-mental concepts of modern day accounting were known in Biblical times.
One concept not discussed by Hagerman is that of income deter-mination. The purpose of this note is to describe the practice of tithing in the Bible and to show how this practice implies a concept of income. In particular, tithing requires a differentiation between income and capital.
Tithing—Old Testament
The word "tithe" means one-tenth. The custom of tithing was a common practice in antiquity and consisted of paying one-tenth of agricultural produce to the ruler of the temple. Since ancient societies were primarily based on agricultural economies, the tithe has been viewed by some scholars as a sort of income tax.2
The Old Testament practice of tithing seems to have its roots in actions taken by Abraham, mentioned in Genesis 14:20, and by Jacob, mentioned in Genesis 28:22. After hearing that Lot had been captured, Abraham and his men attacked and routed Lot's captors. Abraham also obtained a large booty from the fight. From this Abraham paid a tithe to Melchizedek.
Genesis 14:20b: Then Abram gave him [Melchizedek] a tenth of everything.3

Bruce Nauman
The True Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths 1967
Born in 1941 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Bruce Nauman has been recognized since the early 1970s as one of the most innovative and provocative of America's contemporary artists. Nauman finds inspiration in the activities, speech, and materials of everyday life. Confronted with "What to do?" in his studio soon after graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1964 with a BFA, and then the University of California, Davis in 1966 with an MFA, Nauman had the simple but profound realization that "If I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art. At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product." Working in the diverse mediums of sculpture, video, film, printmaking, performance, and installation, Nauman concentrates less on the development of a characteristic style and more on the way in which a process or activity can transform or become a work of art. A survey of his diverse output demonstrates the alternately political, prosaic, spiritual, and crass methods by which Nauman examines life in all its gory details, mapping the human arc between life and death. The text from an early neon work proclaims: "The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths." Whether or not we—or even Nauman—agree with this statement, the underlying subtext of the piece emphasizes the way in which the audience, artist, and culture at large are involved in the resonance a work of art will ultimately have. Nauman lives in New Mexico.

THIS is a season of possibility for Republican politicians. Their party is poised to do well in November. Their Democratic opponents are stuck in neutral — waiting for Hillary, praying for Obamacare. And thanks to a few strategically placed traffic cones, there is no front-runner for the G.O.P. nomination in 2016, which means that more prominent Republicans than usual are dreaming the presidential dream.
Quite a few of them brought those dreams to the just-concluded Conservative Political Action Conference, jostling for the attention of activists, chasing cameras or being chased by them, trading compliments and subtle digs. A few, like the still-in-damage-control Chris Christie, were just there to pay their respects. But most were trying to ace CPAC's big audition, and prove that they could play the One True Conservative in the 2016 race.
The question is whether that role will actually exist. We're accustomed to a narrative of Republican politics that pits the Tea Party against the establishment, the right against the center right. But that has always been an oversimplification, and in a wide-open presidential campaign, it's likely to fit political reality more poorly than usual.
A better framework is suggested by Henry Olsen, writing in The National Interest, who argues that Republican presidential campaigns are usually defined by four factions rather than two. One faction is centrist (think John McCain's 2000 supporters, or Jon Huntsman's rather smaller 2012 support), one is moderately conservative (think the typical Mitt Romney or Bob Dole voter), one is socially conservative (think Mike Huckabee or Rick Santorum backers), and one is very conservative but more secular (think Gingrich voters last time, or Steve Forbes voters much further back).
The moderately conservative faction holds the balance of power, which is why the party usually flirts with ideologues but settles down with a safer, establishment-endorsed choice. But different campaigns take very different paths to this result.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan basically worked from the right to the center, consolidating secular and religious conservatives and then wooing enough moderate conservatives to win.
In 1996, Bob Dole relied on moderate conservatives to fend off a centrist (Lamar Alexander), a social conservative (Pat Buchanan) and a secular conservative (Forbes).
In 2000, George W. Bush used support from moderate conservatives and religious conservatives to defeat both McCain's centrist insurgency and Forbes's lesser challenge from the right.
In 2008, McCain combined his original centrist base with enough moderate conservatives to win the nomination — a trick Romney basically imitated in 2012.
Before the traffic problems in Fort Lee, Christie seemed poised to follow in Romney's and McCain's footsteps, uniting moderates and moderate conservatives and then trying to outlast whichever challengers emerged from the religious and nonreligious right.
But with Christie weakened, there are suddenly almost as many paths as there are plausible candidates.
The New Jersey governor could still follow McCain's 2008 path to victory, but he could also be marginalized, Huntsman-style, as a "centrists only" candidate — especially if a Scott Walker, a Paul Ryan or a Jeb Bush consolidated the support of moderate conservatives.
Then there's the potential Ted Cruz coalition, which could look like Reagan redux: secular conservatives plus religious conservatives to start, and then just enough moderate conservatives to win. But Cruz would need to consolidate the religious faction early, which is why he should be hoping that Huckabee and Santorum decide to forgo another run.
And then there is the fascinating case of Rand Paul, who has a potentially formidable base in two factions that don't usually ally — moderates who like his social libertarianism and secular conservatives who like his economic views.
Confused yet? Imagine being a Republican strategist or donor, trying to figure out where to place your bets. And I haven't even given you the Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal and John Kasich scenarios!
But let me conclude with one that seems a little more likely: a rerun of Bush's 2000 path, in which Marco Rubio wins by uniting religious and moderate conservatives.
Rubio had a tough 2013, thanks to his unsuccessful immigration push, and he lacks the ideologically committed support of a Paul or Cruz or Huckabee. But his domestic-policy forays (first on poverty, soon on taxes) have gotten smarter since the immigration debacle, and events in Venezuela and Crimea may be making his hawkish foreign policy vision more appealing to conservatives.
Moreover, as much as the party and the country have changed since the Bush era, the best way to unify the G.O.P. is still to build bridges between religious conservatives and moderate conservatives — in effect, to seem relatable to Santorum voters while reassuring Romney voters. And Rubio, in affect and background and positioning, may be the right politician for that task.
Remember, I said "may." He's not the front-runner, because there is no front-runner. There are only factions waiting for their champion, and a party waiting for its biggest fight in years.

Cali Swag Rapper Killed In Drive-By Shooting
M-Bone of Cali Swag District didn't seem to be a random drive-by shooting, according to recent reports.
KTLA reports that the rapper was shot outside of a liquor store as he sat in a parked car in Inglewood, California on LaBrea.
A red Mustang pulled along side of the vehicle that held M-Bone, real name Montae Talbert, and opened fire Sunday evening. The rapper was shot dead.
M-Bone was hit twice and pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center.
Witnesses told authorities that the car returned to the scene after driving off, seemingly to make sure the victim was dead.
TMZ reports that the murder may have started with an e-beef on Twitter after M-Bone took up a relationship with a woman. The man that lived with the woman reportedly didn't like the relationship and began to berate M-Bone on Twitter.
The incident may have lead to murder, but no definitive connection has been made, but M-Bone didn't back down from the aggressors.
Authorities Monday were trying to determine a motive for the drive-by shooting of an acclaimed hip-hop artist who was slain after leaving a recording studio in his hometown of Inglewood.
Montae "M-Bone" Talbert, 22, was shot twice in the head Sunday night when he stopped at a liquor store after leaving the studio, police said.
The shooter fired from a vehicle that pulled up alongside Talbert's car, according to police. He was taken a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Known for his sinuous moves, Talbert set off a national dance craze for the hip-hop group Cali Swag District.
The attack occurred shortly after Talbert and the group had recorded a follow-up album to the platinum hit "Teach Me How to Dougie," according to associates.
Publicist Greg Miller said the shooting appeared to be an act of random violence, but authorities said they had not established a motive for the nighttime attack.
"We haven't gotten any information he was the target of anything," said Lt. Steve Overly of the Inglewood Police Department.
Miller issued a statement on behalf of the family, praising Talbert as an "inspiration to his family, friends and fans" and an artist whose talents will be missed. "He was a hardworking, passionate artist and dancer that will be deeply missed," the statement said.
Monday afternoon, about 200 fans, family members and friends gathered for a vigil in front of the liquor store where Talbert was slain. While a crowd stood on a sidewalk, two women danced to "Teach Me How to Dougie."
The slaying prompted several other rap artists to post on the Internet about the death, including Jayceon Terrell Taylor, who is known as "The Game."
"Can I get a moment of silence for the lil homie M-Bone R.I.P. from Cali Swag District. A kid Gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles," Taylor said.
Until 2009, Cali Swag District was four anonymous Inglewood teenagers making R&B/hip-hop hybrids. Then the group filmed the video for
"Teach Me How to Dougie," setting off the biggest dance fad since Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat" in 2007.
"Teach Me How to Dougie" reached No. 6 on the Billboard rap singles charts and sold about 2 million legal downloads. Justin Bieber taught Ellen Degeneres how to Dougie, and Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Lopez gave it a whirl on "American Idol."
Ebony West, who produced the hit under the name Runway Star, said Talbert was an exceptionally talented street dancer and "hype man" who worked up the crowds for Cali's live shows.
"I've never seen the kid not smiling," West said in a telephone interview. "He gave the crowds something to look at."
West said Talbert had grown up with the other Cali Swag District members– Corey "Smoove" Fowler, Cahron "JayAre" Childs and Chante "Yung" Clee.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in January, Talbert's musical mates called M-Bone "the craziest" member of the group.
Aggressively and colorfully tattooed, he was the most popular with the ladies, because, as he said himself, "I go after 'em."
Cali members said they had never been involved with gangs but couldn't help knowing members, growing up in Inglewood in the late 1990s.
"Back then, when there were gangs it went hand in hand with drug dealing," Fowler said. "Now drugs aren't as big. Most of the gang beefs are over females."
Before joining Cali Swag District, Talbert had been a promoter and a dancer. He never rapped, nor did he take dance lessons: his skills came naturally.
Though he mastered a variety of popular dance styles, his smooth swaggering performances of the Dougie, which originated in Texas, brought him to fame.
Simple in structure, the Dougie's basic moves involve bending one's knees and swaying from side-to-side, while twisting elbows and placing a hand on the back of the head a la 1980s rap icon Doug E. Fresh.

Ofcom opens debate on Freeview HD DRM to punters
The BBC wants it - do you?
Ofcom has begun asking the public whether the BBC should be allowed to apply DRM to Freeview HD broadcasts.
"This technology," the telecoms and broadcasting regulator said, "would enable broadcasters to control the copying of content from high-definition receivers to other consumer devices and its distribution to others over the internet."
Under law, Ofcom has a tighter grip on terrestrially broadcast digital TV than it has on other transmission modes, and it's this that prevents the BBC simply imposing DRM on viewers. Instead, the Corporation has to ask Ofcom for an amendment to the licence it holds enabling it to broadcast on the Freeview multiplexes.
Ofcom, in turn, has to assess whether such a change would prevent UK citizens gaining "access to the widest possible range of HD television content" on digital terrestrial telly while "not unduly restricting their use of this content and the range of receiver equipment available in the market".
The BBC wants Ofcom to allow it to restrict the availability of programme listing information for HD TV services only to receivers that implement DRM.
So if your set-top box doesn't support the BBC's preferred DRM technology, you won't get to see BBC channels on your Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and use it schedule recordings - if the Corporation gets its way.
Right now, the BBC has but one HD channel, but its request looks forward to the day when more, if not all, of its channels are beam out in HD.
Its pitch is that without DRM, Freeview HD will not feature as much HD content as other platforms will be able to offer because rights holders won't sanction broadcast the material that can then be copied at will and posted on the internet.
The BBC insists its approach to DRM won't prevent programmes being recorded on DVR, but may prevent programmes that have been copied off those boxes being played back on other devices. That would certainly hinder Torrenters.
So that it doesn't also prevent users from copying a recording to a more convenient playback device - a portable player, say - the BBC said a single copy should be permitted. But that surely also requires such devices to support DRM, or to stop the 'legal' copy ending up on the net. Different playback devices use different DRM schemes, so set-top box makers would need to ensure that all are supported or risk alienating, say, everyone who owns an iPod.
And that's no help to families, who might very well - and quite reasonably - want to copy a single recording onto many family members' devices.
The BBC insisted that the "majority" of its HD content would be DRM-free and that it would limit DRM to programming only otherwise available in paid-for forms - sourced from overseas pay-TV channels, for example, or available on DVD/Blu-ray.
However, we'd note that while it may follow such a plan now, nothing in its proposal would prevent it simply applying DRM to everything at any point in the future.
Ofcom said it is "minded" to accept the BBC's proposal, but noted that this is subject to public consultation.
You can respond to Ofcom's consultation here. ®

I must confess I am very new to Ulitzer as an online channel of social communication media. But I am delighted about its raison d'être.
However, I cannot but ask these questions: Is Ulitzer the beginning of a new trend or the ultimate death of journalism?
Or is it the glorification of e-journalism?
The realization of new journalism practice in the age of Web services and Internet Technology?
These series of questions are being answered everyday as the new social media moguls and barons and baronesses of the Internet Media launched another online media channel, one after another.
We must give kudos to the visionaries among us who realize the powerful role of Internet technology and quickly seized on its powerful promise by giving voice to every kind of idea and thought under the sun.
And what has technology not redefined yet? Think about it, from e-retailing to e-democracy, a la Obama for America, to e-procurement, to e-government, to e-commerce, to e-wedding: -ehm-, e-matchmaking. The Internet, yes technology, has changed the face of communication and our lifestyles forever, and isn't that what innovation is all about? And what is better to bring about these changes in lifestyles today than technology and innovative thinking. Call it "The Alternative Thinking."
It becomes pathetic when you read about other media organizations that have been in existence for years, forced to close down due to cost reasons simply because their management failed to see the promise of Internet technology early and seized on its promise to reach their target audience and drive advertising revenue and sustain their businesses. That can only be explained as lack of intuition and innovation on the part of management and media owners.
Technology as a strategic enabler of businesses will always be to the advantage of any person, government or organization that knows how to proactively and correctly use it to the advantage of their causes.
Before the advent of Google and other powerful online media channels, what happened to bankrupt media organizations and other sinking powerful media houses around the world today from correctly discerning that technology would change the faces of journalism and advertising?
Therefore, the issue is not about the lack of financing or adequate capital base as several media organizations have been proven to be very successful over the years. However, the inability of many mangement and media owners to respond proactively and their failure to timely answer to the seasons of response have been some of the reasons for the slow death march of many media organizations arising from little or no generating of advertising dollar to sustain their business model.
The fate of mass media closure as a result of failure to adapt to the new thinking in the age of technology surely awaits many enterprises, communities and governments, both in developed and in the developing world today. Especially developing nations that still hesitate to invest in technology for the acceleration of their economic development or invest in science and technology for their children and children's generation. The good news is that it is still not too late for any forward-thinking organization and responsible businesses and governments to embrace technology, even as they open their business operations and activities to transparency and accountability.
I think Ulitzer is opening our eyes again, just like Google, to the rich promise of the Internet paradigm. I wish these forward thinkers much success, a just reward for their innovation in the new channels of Communication Technology.

Gardeners can't get enough of daylilies, and it's easy to understand why. Other flowers may be as beautiful, but no other plants are as rugged, widely adapted, or versatile. Daylilies are gorgeous, and they are survivors--perfect plants for both the connoisseur and the weekend warrior.The Plant
Originally from Asia, daylilies have adapted to the challenging and varied climates of the United States with all the vigor of its best native plants. They grow in all U.S. regions, but thrive in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 through 9. Daylilies have arching, straplike foliage. Flowers are borne on tall stems, called scapes, that rise above the foliage. They are available in a range of sizes; some varieties grow just 12 inches tall; others reach 3 feet. (Note that the height given in plant descriptions usually refers to the height of the flowers; the foliage may be significantly shorter.)The Flowers
True to its name, each daylily flower remains open for only one day, but each flowering scape contains numerous buds. The color range of daylilies has expanded to include everything but blue and pure white. Many blossoms are bi- or tri-colored, and some have striking "eyes"--zones of different colors surrounding the throat. Single daylilies have six petals, while double varieties have a second set of petals, often ruffled. In the Far East, daylily flowers are used in recipes and can be eaten raw or cooked. They are often found as a dried food in stores.How to Use Daylilies
Daylilies are stalwarts of the perennial border, but they shine in other spots, too. Vigorous daylilies grow thickly enough to choke out most weeds, making them a low maintenance ground cover. They excel at holding the soil on steep slopes and other erosion-prone spots. Plant them on banks and roadsides or along waterways. Use dwarf daylilies in rock gardens, in containers, or as edging for flower beds. When planting several daylily varieties, arrange them in drifts of a single variety for a natural look.
Planting and Care
Daylilies grow best in full sun, ideally 6 hours or more daily. However, in hot and dry climates, they benefit from some afternoon shade, as well as irrigation during bloom. Also, many of the deep reds and the paler shades hold their colors better in partial shade. In any zone, daylilies will perform reasonably well with half a day's shade--they just won't bloom as vigorously.
Daylilies grow well in a wide range of soils. You can plant them successfully almost any time the ground can be worked. To plant bareroot daylilies, work the soil to a depth of 12 inches. Dig a hole, then make a mound of soil in the center. Set the plant on the mound with the crown at the soil surface or no more than an inch below. Firm the soil around the roots, and water well. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart.
The ideal time to transplant or divide your planting is in spring as the shoots begin to emerge, or immediately after bloom. When replanting, set the plants at the same height they grew at previously or slightly higher to allow for settling. Firm the soil, then water. Some cultivars can grow for 20 years without requiring division, but others may need division every second or third season. You'll know it's time to divide when flower production beings to decline.

Map of the Investigation of the Asiatic Part of the USSR for Hydrogeological Purposes in 1932
This map was created for use by a Soviet government research institute. By means of the color coding, it shows regions in Siberia where hydrogeological investigations had been carried out and divides those regions into three categories: detailed and special hydrogeological investigations from prospectors' experience…on a scale of two versts per inch; general hydrogeological investigations…more than two versts per inch; and geological, hydrogeological, soil, and other investigations eliciting the presence of underground water. The white areas, occupying by far the largest part of the map, indicate where neither detailed nor general investigations had yet been carried out.

Sagan Day Essay Contest
20 October 2010
Sponsored by NASA's Kepler Mission and SETI Institute
His words -- our words -- as beacons for the future.
"The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore, we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan, Cosmos, 1980
In honor of Carl Sagan's birthday on November 9th, we invite you to pause and reflect on the imagery that he created for us in his allegory of the Shore of the Cosmic Ocean. We invite you to communicate your thoughts and ideas, your reflections on the past and your visions for the future. We want the written expressions of what you see as you stand on that shore. How did you arrive there with your individual perspective? Where will we go from here? What drives us toward those distant shores? What embodies the spirit of exploration?

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 9, No. 2 Fall 1982 Terry K. Sheldahl MILLSAPS COLLEGE REPORTING TREASURY STOCK AS AN ASSET: LAW, LOGIC, AND ECONOMIC SUBSTANCE Abstract; This paper traces development in the accounting literature, circa 1909-1933, of, dominant support for contra-equity presentation of treasury stock, and re-lates this overview to prominent current arguments for selective asset treatment. Classic "logical" objection to asset analysis is found to be compelling. Contem-porary challenges to prevailing doctrine in terms of "economic substance," enjoy-ing distinguished lineage from the earlier era, are recast as attractive recording and disclosure proposals. An auxiliary theme is the changing nature of relevant objection of "legalism." Sources include Hatfield, Esquerré, Montgomery, Paton, Kohler, and (of particular note) Sunley, and current analysts Allan Young and Beatrice Melcher. The recording of treasury stock transactions is a relatively flexible area, aside from any applicable legal requirements. There are alter-native basic methods, the "par value" and "cost" approaches, each permitting varied treatment of pertinent "loss," in particular. In ac-counting terms, however, neither gain nor loss may be recognized in reacquisition, reissuance, or retirement of stock.1 The corresponding reporting doctrine is that treasury stock is a negative "equity" item, not an "asset." For fully half a century this position has enjoyed overwhelming support among accounting writers; in slightly qualified form it has since 1934 had "authorita-tive" professional endorsement;a and, reinforced by SEC provisions Beyond the specific reference in note c, indebtedness is gratefully acknowledged to the two anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments and suggestions. An earlier version of this paper, entitled "An Historical Perspective on Asset Pre-sentation of Treasury Stock," was presented at the 1979 Annual Meeting of the American Accounting Association—Northeast Region. aThe reference is to a 1934 AI(CP)A statement, still accepted as authoritative, which allows that "it is perhaps in some circumstances permissible to show stock of a corporation held in its own treasury as an asset, if adequately disclosed" (emphasis added). Without qualification, the Committee on Accounting Procedure in 1938 rejected both recognition of gain or loss on treasury stock transactions, and direct adjustment of retained earnings in lieu of gain recognition.

FORT WALTON BEACH � A 23-year-old man was arrested Friday night after fleeing from police, crashing his vehicle and sending a 15-year-old girl to the hospital, according to police.
FORT WALTON BEACH � A 23-year-old man was arrested Friday night after fleeing from police, crashing his vehicle and sending a 15-year-old girl to the hospital, according to police.
An officer responded at about 7 p.m. to a complaint of a suspicious vehicle in the woods behind Docie Bass Recreation Center, the Fort Walton Beach police department reported.
The tipster told police a man drove into the woods, got out of his vehicle and walked away.
People have been abandoning stolen vehicles in the area, according to the police department.
The officer found the vehicle and radioed in the license plate, which turned out to be for a different vehicle. As the officer got out of his vehicle to investigate, the suspicious vehicle sped away.
After a short pursuit, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed it into a palm tree in the yard of a house on Ferry Road.
The driver ran from the crash, but was found about 20 minutes later, the news release reported.
After a short struggle, Tyreese William Jett was arrested.
A teenage girl was inside the vehicle during the chase, police reported. She told officers she asked Jett to let her out of the vehicle at least three times and he refused.
She had injuries to her head and shoulder and was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center before being released to her parents.
Jett was charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement officers, false imprisonment, resisting officers without violence, driving with a suspended driver license, no motor vehicle insurance, leaving the scene of a traffic crash with injuries or property damage, and attaching a tag not assigned to a vehicle.
No bond had been set Sunday.
Police were still investigating the activities of Jett and the teen before and while they were at the park.
