The W3C specification does not provide a way to submit a "cleared" or "false" checkbox. If the control is clear, the browser will not submit any value for that control. The application is expected to notice that the checkbox was not submitted, and proceed accordingly.
The framework automatically tracks the checkboxes used by a form (so you don't have to). If a checkbox is missing, a default value for the checkbox (usually false) is injected. The checkbox control can then turn on-and-off values as needed,
Using Checkboxes to Set a Collection
Our user has a number of priviliges that are stored as a Set of strings. To use checkboxes for these, we have HTML that looks like:
<input type="checkbox" name="user.priv" value="boss"/> <input type="checkbox" name="user.priv" value="admin"/> <input type="checkbox" name="user.priv" value="manager"/>
Say a user checks the first 2; the browser will send the query string: user.priv=boss&user.priv=admin.
OGNL will end up calling
action.getUser().setPriv(String[] {"boss", "admin"})
You can write this method like:
Set m_privileges = new HashSet(); public void setPriv(String[] privs) { for (int i = 0; i < privs.length; i++) { m_privileges.add(privs[i]); } }
Full Detailed example:
This example uses a kind-of model-driven action (see Model Driven Interceptor). The action returns a single getter for the User object whose values are populated.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 24, 2013) – After sitting through a pair of rain delays, the ETSU/Appalachian State baseball game was suspended with the Mountaineers leading, 3-1, in the bottom of the seventh on Tuesday night from Thomas Stadium.
The Bucs and Mountaineers – who are scheduled to play in Boone, N.C., next Tuesday night – will resume play of tonight's game prior to that contest at 5 p.m. at Smith Stadium.
Before the rains came, the Mountaineers struck first as Appalachian State pushed across two runs in the top of the second to go up, 2-0. Gabe Dimock led off the frame with an infield single and advanced to second on an error by first baseman Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.). Dimock later scored on Michael Pierson's RBI single to center, while Dillon Dobson – who walked earlier in the frame – advanced to third on the single and scored the second run on Josh Zumbrook's sacrifice fly to center.
ETSU answered with a run in the bottom of the inning as Green led things off with a triple to right-center and scored when Kevin Phillips (St. Louis, Mo.) doubled down the line in left, but with the bases loaded and no outs, Mason Hershey (Altoona, Pa.) hit into a 1-2-3 double play. Later in the inning, the Blue and Gold had the bags full again, but ETSU couldn't push across any runs as Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) hit into an inning-ending grounder to second.
The Mountaineers got the run back in the top of the third when Hector Crespo led off the inning with a triple to left-center and scored on Noah Holmes' one-out RBI grounder to second, making it a 3-1 game.
Appalachian State threatened in the top of the fourth when Dobson doubled to right-center to lead off the inning and trotted to third on Jaylin Davis' infield single to short. However, with no outs and runners on the corners, Kameron Miller (Crestview, Fla.) got a huge pick-me-up from the Buccaneer defense to get out of the inning unscathed. Davis made the first out when Hershey threw him out stealing second, while Pierson flied out to left on the next play, and Dylan Tritsch (Boca Raton, Fla.) gunned down Dobson at the plate to end the inning as the Mountaineer base runner tried to score on the fly out.
Following the strong defensive play, the rains started to come down and both teams waited out a 44-minute rain delay; however, after play resumed, neither team generated any offense as the Mountaineers still led by a pair runs as the rain picked back up again in the bottom of the seventh.
As the game was called, Josh Wilson replaced Jeffrey Springs on the mound, while Phillips was the first Buccaneer hitter due up in the inning.
The Bucs return to action Friday night when ETSU opens up a critical three-game conference series with Kennesaw State. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m., at Thomas Stadium.

Chiropractic Tips
1. Stretching Tip: Be sure to adequately stretch prior to working out. This decreases the chance of injury.
2. iPhone Usage Tip: When texting, try to hold your phone up in front of your head to avoid prolonged forward bending of your neck.
3. Proper Lifting Tip: Keep your spine as vertical as possible when lifting objects off the ground. This can help prevent low back injuries.
4. Proper Posture Tip: Hip, knee and foot pain can be caused by poor posture...be sure to maintain good, healthy posture throughout the day.
5. Stiff, Painful Feet or Ankles Tip:Over time you may have learned to compensate for pain and dysfunction by developing a stiffer, less mobile foot and ankle. So it would be beneficial to do some foot and ankle mobility exercise such as alphabet exercises where you use your toe like a paint brush and move the foot and ankle to write the letters of the alphabet. This can be done while sitting in a chair or lying on your back on the floor.
6. Stiff, Painful Shoulders Tip: Research has shown that poor coordination of movement between the shoulder and shoulder blade is the most common cause of shoulder pain. To improve coordination of this movement, stand with your toes about 3" from the wall and place your palm on the wall. Slowly reach up the wall sliding your palm up over your head. Then slide the palm back down towards the feet turning the fingers downward. Slide the palm back to waist level and slide the palm out to the side and back across the body. Repeat 3 to 4 times.
7. Low Back Pain Tip: Due to our sedentary lifestyle, many Americans lack core strength and stability. The foundation of a good core is proper breathing. By strengthening the diaphragm you can improve the internal pressure of the abdomen improving support of the low back. Place one hand on your chest and the other on the stomach at just about the navel. While inhaling, your stomach should expand first, followed by the chest. When exhaling purse your lips to add resistance. You should shrink your waistline symmetrically engaging the stomach muscles. Perform for 2 to 3 minutes. You can increase difficulty by lying on your stomach to add resistance.
8. Sacroiliac Joint Pain Tip: Weakness and instability in the hips can increase stress on the SI Joint. Due to sedentary lifestyles, we generally have weakened hips. Strengthening the gluteus muscles is important for decreasing SI pain. Start by lying on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Engage the core muscles and press the pelvis away from the floor with your feet. Press until the upper leg (Femur) is aligned with the abdomen and create a straight line from the knees to the shoulders. Hold for a count of five and lower the pelvis back to the floor. Perform 3 sets of 10.
9. Backache Tip: So many of us slouch while working and sitting. This leads to forward head posture and rounded shoulders which can lead to a generalized "backache". You will need two tennis balls and a sock. Place the tennis balls in the sock and tie off the end. Place the sock against the wall and pin it between the upper back and wall. The tennis balls should straddle the spine. Lean against the wall and bend the knees to lower your body down the wall rolling the tennis balls up and down your back. To increase mobility, raise one hand above the head while performing this exercise. Perform on both sides.

What It's Like
Now the fifth largest city in the US, Phoenix has become a major business and tourist destination. Thousands of travelers pour every year to Phoenix, which features hundreds of superb golf courses, some of the best resorts in the U.S., and an average temperature of 72 degrees Farenheit year-round.
Surrounded by desert, this sprawling city has much to offer by way of outdoor activities, shopping, culture and nightlife. Downtown Phoenix is the financial district, and where most of the government offices are. But it is not only about business out here -- there are also dozens of world-class museums, several stadiums, and a varied entertainment scene. The area around the Arizona State University is full of government buildings and corporate towers, but the closer you get to Central Avenue, the livelier the neighborhood gets. Orpheum Theatre and Patriots Square are in this area, as well as the US Airways Center --home of the Phoenix Suns -- and Symphony Hall.
The town's fabulous golf courses are a main draw, but the surrounding desert, with its amazing views and beautiful trails, is also a tourist-magnet. Visitors have a wide array of hotels, resorts and spas to choose from, either in Downtown Phoenix or in the suburbs (known as a whole as the Valley of Sun).
The downtown Metro light rail system is a good alternative to driving everywhere, but that will only get you so far. For most of the area's attractions outside Downtown Phoenix, a car is essential.
Where To Stay
The main tourist attractions here are quite spread out, so choosing where to stay can be tricky. Business travelers might want to stay in the streets around the Civic Plaza (the city's largest convention facility), or in Baltimore District, where many corporate offices are located. Leisure visitors might prefer to stay near bustling Central Avenue, which runs through the heart of Downtown Phoenix. For easy access to most of the tourist attractions, stay in the area bordered by Thomas Road on the North, Jefferson Street on the South, 7th Street on the East, and Seventh Avenue on the West. For those who have their own wheels, Scottsdale -- located a short drive from downtown Phoenix and nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert -- is one of the best options, with exceptional golf courses, superb spa resorts and top-notch shopping.

Stars bounce back at home to beat Flamesby Steve Hunt
DALLAS -- Two nights after their worst performance ever in Dallas, the Stars got back on track.
Loui Eriksson scored twice as the Stars bounced back from Saturday's 8-1 loss to Chicago by beating the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Monday night.
"It was a big win," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. "I thought we clawed our way a little bit to the surface here, we still got a few feet to go."
Chicago pummeled the Stars in front of a sellout crowd at American Airlines Center in the worst home loss since the franchise relocated from Minnesota in 1993. But there were no after-effects on Monday -- the Stars scored three times in the first period against Calgary backup goaltender Joey MacDonald and held off the Flames. Kari Lehtonen stopped 16 shots for his 10th victory of the season.
"It was huge," Lehtonen said of the win. "After such a bad game, it was nice to play a great game and these guys made it real easy for me. I felt like it shouldn't even be close. They kind of sneaked back in and made it more interesting than it should have been."
Dallas came out playing inspired hockey, taking the first six shots on goal before Dennis Wideman got a long slapper that Lehtonen had to stop with his glove.
Just 20 seconds later, Wideman hooked Dallas' Antoine Roussel, who has just finished serving a penalty for tripping, as he was driving to the Calgary net, resulting in a penalty shot. Roussel skated in on MacDonald but flipped a backhand just wide of the right post to keep the game scoreless.
However, the Stars began a three-goal blitz in just over five minutes when Erik Cole's wrister from just above the right circle deflected off the left skate of Calgary defenseman Derek Smith and went past MacDonald at 13:07.
Eric Nystrom made it 2-0 at 15:49 with his third goal of the season. The fourth-line forward beat MacDonald with a short wrister from the left side for his first goal since Feb. 13, a span of 10 games. That goal also came against the Flames.
"We're right in the thick of things," Nystrom said. "We've got to learn from this. It comes down to us playing a certain way and discovering an identity and up to this point, we really haven't done that. I think there were some really good things tonight that shows when we play a certain way, we can be successful but when we stray from it, we're not very good."
After Cody Eakin and Flames captain Jarome Iginla dropped the gloves with 3:28 remaining before intermission, Dallas made it 3-0 when Eriksson flipped a 10-foot wrister into the top of the net at 18:11 for his eighth of the season. Ray Whitney picked up the primary assist after skating from behind the Flames goal before spotting Eriksson, who was streaking toward the net.
Dallas outshot Calgary 12-5 in the opening 20 minutes.
"I think everyone probably knew it was coming. We sat back and watched. We didn't take initiative and play the way we had to play off the beginning of the game. It's disappointing," Calgary forward Curtis Glencross said.
MacDonald made a huge glove save on Brenden Morrow's wrister midway through the second period, giving his team a chance to get back in the game -- and the Flames did just that.
Calgary made it 3-1 at 11:30 when Jiri Hudler deflected a long-range blast from T.J. Brodie behind Lehtonen for a power-play goal. The Flames had gone on the power play after Eakin earned roughing and interference penalties after a hard hit on Calgary's Matt Stajan. Wideman also earned a roughing call for his role in the altercation after coming to Stajan's defense.
"That's one of the dirtiest hits that I've seen. Those hits can end careers," Flames coach Bob Hartley said of Eakin's hit.
Dallas defenseman Jordie Benn was whistled for hooking Calgary's Lee Stempniak at 13:05, and again the Flames capitalized. Jay Bouwmeester made it 3-2 with a backhander from the slot that glanced off the crossbar and landed in the back of the net.
Eriksson flipped home his second of the night at 12:06 of the third period to restore Dallas' two-goal lead. After Jamie Benn's pass caromed off the skate of Calgary's Matt Giordano, Eriksson collected the deflection and quickly finished. That goal stood up as the winner when Alex Tanguay got behind the defense and put a backhander past Lehtonen with 4:46 remaining.
The Flames pulled MacDonald with 1:27 remaining but were unable to get the equalizer.
I thought our beginning was good, we didn't have the second we wanted and we stabilized a little bit in the third," Gulutzan said.
With the loss, Calgary is now 0-6-1 in its last seven road games; the Flames' last win away from home was on Feb. 17 at Dallas.
"It seems like on the road we start slow and it takes time to get going," MacDonald said. "You get down two or three and it's tough to battle back. We did a great job battling back, but it's just too hard on everybody."

No appetite for ACA fiscal battle
Hill Republicans are starting to whip up their wish lists for the debt limit battle later this year.
Missing from many of those lists: Obamacare.
Story Continued Below
The debt limit will have to be hiked sometime between late February and early June, depending on various government estimates. But congressional Republicans from across the ideological spectrum are already skeptical of trying to extract concessions from Democrats on the Affordable Care Act — a dynamic that triggered an unpopular government shutdown last fall.
"You could do that. I don't think that will work," a chuckling Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.) said about tying changes to the health care law to the debt limit fight. "I think we've had a dress rehearsal for that comedy."
( PHOTOS: Senate's Obamacare hearing)
GOP officials in both the House and Senate have yet to sketch out a specific strategy on the debt limit fight — still likely several weeks away — but key figures have said they aren't willing to let an increase in the nation's borrowing authority pass without conditions.
But interviews with a broad swath of Republicans show that many GOP lawmakers lack the appetite to wage another Obamacare battle tied to a must-pass fiscal bill.
Louisiana Rep. John Fleming, one of the most conservative House Republicans and a champion of the fall defund movement, said "Obamacare is cratering itself" and acknowledged that there's no way to change the health care law without cooperation with the White House.
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
"I think our [debt ceiling] debate is going to be over more cutting" the budget, Fleming said.
Part of the GOP calculation is the fierce backlash against the messy rollout of Obamacare, which has left Republicans reluctant to reverse favorable political momentum as the 2014 midterms get under way. Furthermore, Obamacare also took effect on Jan. 1, so some voters are now receiving coverage.
Both conservative and moderate Republicans seem hesitant to revisit an Obamacare-related fiscal fight.
"I think I would be satisfied if we could deal some with the debt," Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the second-ranking Senate Republican, said when asked whether the GOP should link Obamacare to the debt-limit debate. "I think the health care law is going to implode on its own."
( Also on POLITICO: House to vote on 3-day CR)
Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), a key moderate, said he would be "very receptive" to tying a repeal of the medical device tax to the debt limit — an idea floated during the government shutdown last fall. Another Obamacare provision Dent said he would like to see is to redefine "full time" under the law to 40 hours weekly — Republicans have cited employers who are cutting hours for their workers to 29 hours per week to circumvent Obamacare's 30-hour definition of "full-time" employee.
"But I also understand that … at the end of the day, defaulting on this country's obligations is simply not acceptable and potentially catastrophic," he continued.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he doubted Republicans would try to change Obamacare by using the debt limit as leverage. But he was unconvinced that his party would demand much in the debt ceiling fight anyway, pointing to the bipartisan budget agreement passed in December that relieved much of the spending cuts mandated under sequestration.
"The budget deal was a retreat from fiscal responsibility," Paul said. "We got rid of the only thing that we have that was slowing down the rate of growth in our spending. That was the sequester."
( Also on POLITICO: Senate delays vote on jobless aid)
Still, some conservatives on both ends of Capitol Hill are hungry for yet another Obamacare battle, and some are already actively plotting how they can incorporate the much-loathed law into their debt-limit strategy.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, whose crusade against Obamacare catapulted him into rock stardom among conservatives but drew much scorn from Republican colleagues, told The Wall Street Journal in a recent interview that the GOP should use "every leverage point available" to repeal the law.

Pseudotumor cerebri is a condition in which the pressure inside the skull is increased. The brain is affected in a waythat the conditionappears to be -- but is not -- a tumor.
Alternative Names
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension; Benign intracranial hypertension
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The condition occurs more often in women than men, especially in obese women who are about to go through menopause. It is rare in infants, but can occur in children.
The cause is unknown.
Certain medicines can increase your riskof this condition. These medicines include:
- Birth control pills
- Cyclosporine
- Isotretinoin
- Minocycline
- Nalidixic acid
- Nitrofurantoin
- Phenytoin
- Steroids (starting or stopping them)
- Sulfa drugs
- Tamoxifen
- Tetracycline
- Vitamin A
The following factors are also related to this condition:
Addison disease Chronic kidney failure Cushings disease Hypoparathyroidism
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Obesity
- Onset of menstruation (menarche)
- Pregnancy
Symptoms include:
- Blurred vision
- Buzzing sound in the ears (tinnitus)
- Dizziness
Double vision(diplopia)
- Nausea
- Vision loss
Symptoms may get worse during physical activity, especially when you tighten the stomach muscles.
Signs and tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Signs of this condition include:
Bulging anterior fontanelle
- Increased head size
- Swelling of the optic nerve in the back of the eye (papilledema)
Even though there is increased pressure in the skull, there is no change in alertness.
Tests that may be done include:
CT scan of the head
- Eye exam, incluiding
visual fieldtesting MRI of the headwith MR venography Lumbar puncture(spinal tap)
Diagnosis is made when other health conditions are ruled out. Several conditions may cause increased pressure in the skull, including:
- Tumor
- Venous sinus thrombosis
Treatment is aimed at the cause of the pseudotumor.
Other treatments may include:
- Fluid or salt restriction
- Medications such as corticosteroids, acetazolamide, and furosemide
- Shunting procedures to relieve pressure from spinal fluid buildup
- Surgery to relieve pressure on the optic nerve
- Weight loss
Patients will need to have their vision closely monitored. There can be vision loss, which is sometimes permanent. Follow-up MRI or CT scans may be done to rule out hidden cancer.
Expectations (prognosis)
Sometimes the condition disappears on its own within 6 months. Symptoms can return in some persons. A small number of patients have symptoms that slowly get worse and lead to blindness.
Vision loss is a serious complication of this condition.

I don't in fact, I despise christmas. Not only because I think it is a religious event, despite the pagan history etc etc it really is about jesus these days, and also because of the corporate saturation. People are clammering to get savings and deals on ridiculous stuff that nobody really needs and a lot of people get into so much debt just for the 'spirit' of christmas ie: I have to buy better and more presents than anyone else. I really is just another very long black friday sale.
People place so much importance on traditions and don't even realize how much that tradition has been distorted over time and instead of sitting back and enjoying it, it has become a political tactic (Rick Perry), a corporate sales boom (how about occupy christmas), I find it all very sickening and no sooner is it over then we move into the whole easter shebang.
I just think we need to settle it down a bit, there are much more important things to worry about in this world instead of some silly tradition that no one really remembers what it is actually for and the state of the world economy - not just the US - shouldn't we be spending our money on living instead of cheap crap made in Asia?.
A very merry Bah Humbug from me to you.........
We don't celebrate xmas in my house -- no.
I do my damndest to avoid it. However, am only marginally successful at it - though as the years go by, I'm getting better. I work in an office, with a partner who is really into it. The first year, he had the secretaries put in a nativity scene in my personal office. Rather than saying anything to anyone (even though everyone knows I'm an atheist), I put little cartoon bubbles next to all the characters, including the sheep warning the donkey about the horny and perverted wise men, and with a comment by Mary looking around the stable wondering who the father really is. Next to that I put a Voodoo altar (right out of the movie Major League). They got the point, and it was removed the next day.
I agree with Sandi about the spending orgy everyone dives into like the good little consumers corporate America has programmed them to be. I guess it's not that I mind it so much, realizing that it is the modern day version of the Winter Solstice celebration, even if the celebrants themselves don't. What I do mind, and resent, is being forcefully bombarded with it everywhere you go, every time you turn on the radio and TV, walk into a store to get a quart of milk, and having to listen to that insipid shit like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" over and over, ad nauseum.
Give me a six pack of Newcastle Brown Ale, a pizza, and a video of the movie Inherit the Wind and I'll enjoy the day without having to engage in family fights, nor eat Aunt Matilda's jell-o surprise salad.
I don't. It has nothing to do with being an atheist though. I just don't have fond memories of it from when I was younger. And these days it just seems too much about spending money. The family aspect is out too. The majority of my fam are very religious and we have little contact.
But I do celebrate having days off from work!
I also don't have fond memories about xmas when I was younger. With all the black Friday hype it it is all about making money and profits.
I dislike this holiday, but its nice for my nieces and nephew, just wish my sisters would accept the truth about it all.
I really do celebrate Winter Solstice in a big way, not like Christmas at all, but as a mellow, sweet time of reflection and contemplation. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of family life, quiet presents precious moments. I don't do any decorations or anything like that.
My life centers around my garden, mostly, because my grandkids and great-grandkids live far away and have other relatives. On the shortest day of the year I mark the spot where the sun hits a wall in my tool shed and then on the longest day I mark where the sun hits. Kind of a nice little activity that keeps me aware of the natural order of things. I feed the birds and squirrels, wander through the paths to see how each plant survives. During autumn cleanup, I cut flowers stalks and lay them on the ground so the birds can feed on the seeds all winter. I make sure there is a brush heap near by so they can escape the several neighbor cats that come over every day and try to catch them.
When my children were in high-school, they started wanting to be with their friends doing "exciting" things. I was a single mom so I figured I had better find a way to have a meaningful time for myself as my little ones were flying away. The first time I realized the kids wanted to be with friends but were too sensitive to say anything I announced I wanted to be alone and it was OK for them to go with others.
I brought in some poinsettias, made a wonderful roasted Cornish game hen, had a nice bottle of wine, and a lovely winter pudding with rum sauce. About halfway through my meal the door flew open and my three children, their boy- girl- friends swarmed in and we had a big party around my little game hen. They were so uncomfortable leaving me alone and when they came in they saw I was doing just fine, content, happy, and enjoying myself. We laughed so hard, and had so much fun, and they all know that I am fine, I am thinking of them whether they are with me or away, and the pressure is off to "have" to be with mom.
That was 37 years ago, my very favorite celebration is winter solstice, next to spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox. My children are all grown up now with children of their own, one has grandchildren. Summer is the time for travel and getting together ... winter is too unpredictable for driving or flying. We are all snug, warm, sharing emails and phone calls in winter. All is well.
No don't do xmas in the big sense......may eat a bit of chicken and Xmas pud, there again I eat chicken all year and you can't get Xmas puds the rest of the year which are quite nice with some extra thick cream………Doh...drooling now at the thought of that pud!:)
The wife and I haven't done Xmas presents for over ten years now, don't have children so no issues there..........it's just one big pagan, pseudo Christian, coke-cola bullshit event......never really understood it!!
I also hate Christmas Carols & hymns….always have….rather listen to Country & Western….and I really dislike that music as well.:)
Usually go away at Xmas just to avoid the event!!:)

At the end of the preliminary hearing, Richard Christopher Butts, 26, pleaded not guilty to eight felony counts and a trial date was set for Dec. 13 by San Diego Superior Court Judge David Gill.
Butts is charged with kidnapping both women with intent to commit rape and oral copulation, charges that carry life terms in prison if he is convicted.
He is also charged with rape, forcible oral copulation and two counts of assault with intent to commit rape and oral copulation.
Butts was arrested by police on
March 24 after a young woman was sexually assaulted in the early morning hours while she was walking along Long Branch Avenue in Ocean Beach.
She testified a man with Butts' general description grabbed her and dragged her to a dark area between a garage and a fence.
Adam Dutra, a criminalist with the police department, testified that DNA found on the victim in the March 24 assault matched the DNA evidence found in a previous unsolved rape in Ocean Beach that took place on Aug. 25, 2012.
Det. Cory Gilmore testified the distance between the sidewalk and the location where the March 24 victim was dragged was about 80 feet.
Gilmore said the victim was wearing flip-flops and impressions of flip-flops and tennis shoes were found in the dirt near the garage, as well as drag marks.
Gilmore testified the homeowner was not in the nearby house the night of the assault. A chart was displayed that showed Butts lived a few blocks from both attacks.
The victim in the March 24 assault testified it was dark and she could not see her attacker's face. She said she screamed, but her attacker put his hand over her mouth and she had trouble breathing. She stopped screaming, but screamed again after most of her clothing was removed.
Witness Hali Moore testified she was pet sitting at a client's house on Long Branch Street and heard the woman's screams. She said she and her partner ran outside and saw Butts as he was running away.
Moore said they called 9-1-1 and she identified Butts as the man who was running away. She said a police dispatcher told her to stop chasing the man for her own safety. Moore said she chased Butts to Cable Street until "I lost him on Abbott Street."
Moore said she went back to find the terrified victim.
"She was shaking. She was hurt," said Moore.
The victim, whose identity is being withheld, testified in court.
"I saw a man with a hoodie running toward me," said the victim. "By the time I started to run for it, he grabbed me."
The victim said her attacker had his hand around her neck, somewhat suffocating her.
"I began to fear for my life. I was afraid if I kept struggling … I would die," she said.
She said she told the suspect, "If you let me go, I'll be quiet."
Det. James Hunter testified Butts was detained near Robb Field and had dirt on his jeans. He said Butts admitted to assaulting the victim and claimed he wanted to "sexually arouse her."
"He (said) he was looking for a fight. He was looking for violence," said Hunter.
Hunter said he asked Butts if he wanted to write a letter of apology to the victim, and Butts reportedly did so after being interviewed.
The first rape occurred on Muir Avenue near Bacon Street. That victim was bruised and bloodied, and the judge was presented color photos taken of the victim during her hospitalization. Madeline Marini, a hospital nurse, testified the victim described herself as "freaking out" as a result of the ordeal.
Shawn Montpetit, a DNA technical manager for police, testified the DNA evidence from both cases matched Butts. He said the odds of a random match is "one in 87 quintillion," which he noted contains 18 zeros.
Butts' attorney and Deputy District Attorney Wendy Patrick submitted the case to the judge without any argument. Butts remains in custody on $300,000 bail.

I could post some maudlin tribute thing that will have me bawling by the end but screw that.
Lola sez you should go put on 'London Calling', turn it up to 10 and shout along at the top of your lungs.
Strummer prefers their debut album, way more punk. And don't forget to bring a toy.
I've got a soft spot these days for his later work with the Mescaleros. So sad he had to go while he was still treating us to such great music but at least we can enjoy what he left behind.

California Design, 1930–1965: "Living in a Modern Way"
This exhibition is the first major study of California midcentury modern design. With more than 300 objects—furniture, ceramics, metalwork, fashion and textiles, and industrial and graphic design—the exhibition examines the state's role in shaping the material culture of the entire country. Organized into four thematic areas, the exhibition aims to elucidate the 1951 quote from émigré Greta Magnusson Grossman that is incorporated into the exhibition's title: California design "is not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions…It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way."
Pacific Standard Time is an unprecedented collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together to tell the story of the birth of the LA art scene. Initiated through grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time will take place for six months beginning October 2011. Sponsors
The exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and funded through a lead grant from
Corporate sponsorship was provided by
Additional funding was provided by the Henry Luce Foundation, Debbie and Mark Attanasio, Martha and Bruce Karsh, and LACMA's Decorative Arts and Design Council.

Oskar Fischinger and California Abstract Animation
Once upon a time, California was home to groundbreaking work in abstract, avant-garde animation. One of the most influential abstract animators was Oskar Fischinger (1900–1967), brought to Hollywood by Paramount from Berlin in 1936, thus becoming the direct link from the European avant-garde film movement to West Coast experimental filmmaking...
Trina Turk: Inspired by the Past and Inspiring the Future
After eight months on view, 350,000 visitors, and three catalogue printings, California Design, 1930–1965 will close its doors for the last time this Sunday. While it will be sad to watch the culmination of six years of work dispersed to the four winds, it is encouraging to see that the spirit of modern California design lives on through many talented designers and craftspeople...

With Martin Kaymer dominating, US Open turns into spirited race for 2nd place at Pinehurst
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
PINEHURST, N.C. – This looks like a typical U.S. Open.
Except for Martin Kaymer.
He appears to be playing an entirely different course.
Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record at the U.S. Open on Friday with another 5-under 65 — this one without a single bogey — to build a six-shot lead over Brendon Todd and leave the rest of the field wondering if anyone had a chance to catch the 29-year-old German at Pinehurst No. 2.
"If you take Martin out of it," said defending champion Justin Rose, "it's a great golf tournament."
Kaymer was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the record set by Rory McIlroy at rain-softened Congressional in 2011.
"I heard he played the No. 3 course. Is that true?" Kevin Na said after a 69 put him seven shots behind. "It's unbelievable what he's done. Is 4 or 5 under out there? Yes. Ten under out there? No, I don't think so. I guess it was out there for him. I watched some of the shots he hit and some of the putts he's made and he looks flawless."
The six-shot lead after 36 holes tied the U.S. Open record first set by Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000 and matched by McIlroy at Congressional. Woods wound up winning by 15 shots. McIlroy won by eight.
"I played Congressional and I thought, 'How can you shoot that low?' And that's probably what a lot of other people think about me right now," Kaymer said.
Todd, who won the Byron Nelson Championship last month for his first PGA Tour win, made some tough par saves to keep bogeys off his card for a 67. He will play in the final group Saturday in his first U.S. Open.
Brandt Snedeker had a 68 and joined Na at 3-under 137.
Phil Mickelson was 13 shots behind after going back to his conventional putting grip and giving up too many shots. He had a 73.
Essentially, this tournament comes down to Kaymer.
"If he does it for two more days, then we're all playing for second spot," Adam Scott said.
Beyond Kaymer's dominance, here's five things to look for in the third round:
PINEHURST BITE: With heavy rains softening the greens, Pinehurst No. 2 has played a bit easier than expected. Still, there are only 13 players under par at the midway point in the tournament, and those pin positions aren't going to get any easier on the weekend. If the rain holds off, the turtleback greens will firm up even more, making it tough to go at the flag with abandon. At that point, it becomes more about damage control than putting up low numbers, perhaps improving the odds of closing the gap on the leader.
MAJOR INEXPERIENCE: Kaymer's closest pursuers don't have a lot of major championships on their resume. Of the next 18 players in the standings, only three have captured one of golf's biggest titles. Keegan Bradley (2011 PGA Championship) was eight shots back at 138, Rory McIlroy (2011 U.S. Open, 2012 PGA Championship) was another stroke behind, and Adam Scott (2013 Masters) faced a daunting 10-stroke deficit. For now, the leader doesn't have to worry about a bunch of major winners in his rear-view mirror.
LEFTY'S PUTTER: Mickelson abandoned the claw grip in hopes of improving his putting stroke. It didn't work. He had four three-putts on Friday and has taken 65 swings with the short stick over the first two days, leaving him tied for 135th in the tournament rankings. No wonder he said the "hole looks like a thimble to me right now." A daunting 13 shots off the lead, Mickelson will spend the weekend more concerned with steadying his stroke on the green than making any sort of serious run for his first U.S. Open title.
BACK TO BACK: Like anyone not named Kaymer, Rose's hopes of winning the title look rather bleak at the moment. But at least he's still in the game. The defending champ shot 69 on Friday for a 1-over 141, leaving him 11 strokes off the lead. He'll need to make a big move Saturday to have any hope of chasing down Kaymer. There hasn't been a repeat winner at the U.S. Open since Curtis Strange in 1988-89.
KID IS ALL RIGHT: Nineteen-year-old Matthew Fitzpatrick is playing on the weekend in another major championship. The 2013 U.S. Amateur winner shot 71-73 to become the lone amateur to make the cut. Last year, he played in the British Open at Muirfield, finishing tied for 44th to earn the silver medal as low amateur. The other 10 not-for-pay players failed to advance at Pinehurst No. 2: Cory Whitsett, Hunter Stewart and Brian Campbell (all at 146) missed the cut by a single stroke. The others were farther back.

The bottom photo is Iverdine Finnestad's husband, Lewis Travland. Growing up, we often used the shortened version of Finnestad as "Finn" when referring to our grandparents, but unfortunately as the years go by, people may not understand the name was Finnestad.

LAKE FOREST – Jay Cutler probably would have preferred to discuss anything other than the possibility of an offseason overhaul Wednesday at Halas Hall.
Unfortunately for Cutler, the long-term future of the Bears has emerged to topic No. 1 because of yet another late-season nosedive.
Could Lovie Smith be in trouble of losing his job after nine seasons?
Could Mike Tice be on his way out after a one-year stint as offensive coordinator?
What other changes might be in store if the Bears' slide continues?
"I think that's a conversation for after the season," Cutler said. "We're in the middle of the season right now. There's enough on our plate to worry about."
Next on the menu is a trip to the desert, where the Bears (8-6) will visit the Arizona Cardinals (5-9) in the second-to-last game of the regular season. The Bears need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Cardinals will try to play the role of spoiler.
Memo to Cutler: Be careful.
The Cardinals will miss the playoffs for the third consecutive season because of an inept offense, but their sub-.500 record overshadows a pass defense that is among the NFL's best. They lead the league with 22 interceptions, including 14 in the past six games.
The Cardinals' strength matches one of Cutler's biggest weaknesses.
As much as anything, interceptions have marked the reason why Cutler is considered across the league as a mid-tier quarterback instead of one of the league's elite. He has thrown 14 interceptions on 377 pass attempts, which marks a 3.7 percent interception rate.
Only three quarterbacks averaging at least 14 pass attempts a game have been picked off with greater frequency: Arizona's John Skelton (4.5 percent), Kansas City's Matt Cassel (4.3 percent) and the New York Jets' Mark Sanchez (4.1 percent). All three of those players have been benched in the past few weeks because of poor performance.
Don't expect the same to happen with Cutler, who has the full support of Tice and the rest of the coaching staff. Tice said Cutler's teammates needed to help him to avoid interceptions.
"I think if we give Jay good time and he's able to set his feet, he is extremely accurate, and I think we'll be OK," Tice said.
The Cardinals' top playmaker on defense is Patrick Peterson, a 2011 first-round draft pick who is second in the NFL with seven interceptions. Peterson earned a Pro Bowl selection as a kick returner last season and could go to the Pro Bowl as a defensive player this season.
Cutler said Peterson (6-1, 219 pounds) reminded him of the Seattle Seahawks' physical cornerback tandem of Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner. Cutler connected with Brandon Marshall 10 times for 165 yards against Seattle, but the Bears lost in overtime.
"He's going to be a challenge," Cutler said. "Whether he's matched up with 'B' all game long, whether he travels with him, we'll see. They played some interesting coverages to Calvin [Johnson] last week."
For his part, Marshall said he expected Peterson to shadow him throughout the game. Marshall verbally challenged the Green Bay Packers' defenders in the days leading up to last week's game, but he offered nothing but praise regarding Peterson's ability.
"I heard some comments he made a week or two ago about how he's playing the best at the position," Marshall said. "I agree with him. Watching film now, he really is backing it up.
"Unfortunately, their record doesn't show that. That kind of put a damper on his play right now, but he's playing at a high level. This guy is going to be another Pro Bowler."

Tancredo: The Disgusting Media Double Standard Between Obama and Trump - Who said, "The Middle East is an issue that has obviously plagued the region for centuries"? No, it wasn't Ross Perot, and it wasn't Donald Trump. It was Barack Obama, the same man the White House press corps hailed as the smartest man to ever sit in the Oval Office.

Global debt default is on the horizon as Global debt now three times size of world economy : Global debt rose 12 per cent in the September quarter to $US244 trillion, and is now more than three times the size of the world's economic output, according to the Institute of International Finance. Global debt has risen over 3 percentage points since 2017, exceeding 318 per cent of GDP in the third quarter of 2018, the IIF said in a report, slightly lower than the all-time high of 320 per cent in the third quarter of 2016, helped by the cyclical pickup in global growth : Remember what the globalist shills told us,globalism is the best thing since sliced bread,standards of living would rise across the planet,upward mobility would be the new normal,and yet all we got is the 1% enriching themselves,the middle class decimated and the working class further into poverty,and they are still pushing this globalism garbage.

Hollywood Gets To Party With TPP Negotiators; Public Interest Groups Get Thrown Out Of Hotel
from the yeah,-that-doesn't-look-corrupt-at-all dept
However, it appears that once the USTR found out about this, it got the hotel to cancel the group's reservation at the hotel. According to Sean Flynn, the Associate Director of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) at American University:
The public interest briefing was booked last week and advertised to all delegations, including the host USTR. An hour after the invitation was sent, we received a cancellation of our venue by the hotel. The cancellation by by Sophie Jones, Event Sales Manager, Sofitel Los Angeles stated:Okay. I guess if no other groups are allowed in the meeting space that day it's understandable. Except... oops... someone in the group confirmed that the hotel was lying:"I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately we will not be able to move forward with your luncheon for Tuesday January 31st. It was brought to my attention that we have a confidential group in house and we will not be allowing any other groups in the meeting space that day. Again, my apologies for the late notice. Hopefully we can work together in the near future."
After receiving the cancellation, members of an advocacy organization called the hotel and were able to book a room for a claimed private event not related to the TPP. Apparently only TPP-related events were banned from the hotel at the request of an unidentified party. USTR is serving as the host of this meeting.Well, at least MPAA execs were similarly blocked from access to the negotiators, too, right? Nope:
The film industry did not have similar problems – they hosted a multi-hour tour of 20th Century Fox Studies last night, led by a representative of the studio's government relations office.Yeah. This is what corruption looks, smells and tastes like. And the MPAA still doesn't get it. They still think that backroom deals like this are fine and that the public won't notice or care. That's quite a bet to make, and one they may regret.

Of all the images from the Boston Marathon tragedy that became suddenly iconic this week, none was more poignant than this: a photo showing how Martin Richard, the 8-year-old boy who died in the bomb attack, once held a sign that said "peace" and "no more hurting people."
As a city and nation struggle to move forward, that sign implies one of the big questions that remains: What can be done to prevent such acts of senseless destruction in the future?
The search for answers will take time.
In the case of the explosions that rocked the Boston Marathon finish line on April 15, the suspects identified Thursday by the FBI have now been captured. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a gun battle with police, while his younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is at a Boston hospital under tight security.
But their motive was still a matter of investigation Saturday.
Whatever is eventually determined – whether the attacks stemmed from affiliation with some terrorist ideology or by something else – officials in cities around the nation are now thinking harder about how to protect against such potential attacks, notably on "soft targets" like an outdoor road race that are difficult to secure.
One answer, already, is stepped-up security measures by law enforcement.
From public events in America this weekend to the running of the London Marathon this Sunday, the presence of law enforcement is greater than it would have been had the Boston attack not occurred. But, although Boston in recent days has seen a dramatic "surge" of police and National Guard troops, limited government budgets and the huge number of soft targets mean that such efforts are an imperfect defense.
Another part of the answer is public vigilance – ordinary people being alert about behavior that raises doubts about the intentions or mental stability of acquaintances. Again, this is an imperfect defense.
Some people who knew 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in school said that he did normal activities like sports and parties. "He was never a troublemaker," one former teacher said.
The Boston case also coincides with growing public debate about three issues with big implications for prevention of violent crime and terrorism: Gun control, immigration reform, and civil liberties in an era of drones and databases of online information.
On firearms, this was a case where the alleged bombers used guns as well as explosives. One of four people killed in the bombing and its aftermath was an MIT campus police officer who was shot while in his car.
The Tsarnaev brothers exchanged gunfire with police during a chase and manhunt that ended Friday night.
This comes during a week when supporters of stronger background checks for gun purchases failed in a US Senate vote. The National Rifle Association and some others argue that Americans' safety can be enhanced through a greater presence of armed "good guys," including guards to prevent Newtown-style tragedies in schools. At the same time, many Americans want to see access to assault weapons restricted, and efforts to ensure that people with criminal records or diagnosed mental disorders can't buy firearms.
On immigration, this case connects in the sense that the brothers where of Chechen heritage, born in Russia and Kyrgyzstan. Teenage Dzhokhar Tsarnaev became a US citizen last year, while his older brother Tamerlan, 26, was in the US on a green card.
The New York Times reported that Tamerlan was interviewed by federal officials within the past couple of years, when a foreign government asked the FBI if he had extremist ties. The foreign government worried that Tsarnaev might be a security threat if he visited that nation on a planned trip, the Times reported, citing an unnamed government official.
Amid efforts to determine whether this or other facts about the Tsarnaevs should have been "red flags" that brought closer scrutiny from immigration or FBI authorities, at the very least the bombings serve as a reminder that debate over immigration reform includes a public-safety element.
Although civil liberties aren't in the public spotlight to quite the same degree as guns or immigration, the Boston case also comes as America is wrestling with the right balance between defending freedoms and seeking to ensure public safety.
And again, the case brings some of these issues to the surface. One example: It shows how technology that diminishes personal privacy can also aid in making an arrest.
Footage from a Lord & Taylor surveillance camera proved essential in identifying the Tsarnaevs as the bombing suspects. Instances such as that could prompt efforts to boost the volume and quality of video-camera technology in public spaces across the US.
And with the ties of the Tsarnaev family to Chechnya, a hotbed of Muslim radicalization after years of rebellion against Russia's central government, some observers have cautioned this week against the temptation to engage in "profiling" people as suspicious because of their ethnic or religious background.
This risk was highlighted, in an almost humorous way, as the ambassador to the US from the Czech Republic felt impelled to issue a public statement, saying, "I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding…. The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities – the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation."
Securing the nation from future attacks, judicial experts say, involves preserving the right balance between efforts at vigilance – including tips from the public – and guarding the bonds of liberty and mutual trust that hold a diverse "nation of immigrants" and descendants of immigrants together.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick emphasized that theme in remarks at an interfaith "healing our city" gathering this week.
"America is not organized the way countries are usually organized," he said. "We are not organized around a common language or religion or even culture. We are organized around a handful of civic ideals" of equality, opportunity, freedom, and fair play. "We must not permit darkness and hate to triumph over our civic faith."
No one is expecting that such ideals, coupled with heightened vigilance, will suddenly make the dream of perfect peace – young Martin Richard's expression – a reality.
But it's worth noting that some recent academic research, done right near Boston by Harvard University's Steven Pinker, finds a pattern of lessening violence as human history moves forward.
President Obama, speaking alongside Governor Patrick Thursday, echoed the thought about preserving America's civic character.
"Our faith in each other, our love for each other, our love for country, our common creed that cuts across whatever superficial differences there may be – that is our power," he said.

There are loads of little celebrity rivalries in Hollywood. Think Drake and Chris Brown, Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag. Seems that we may have another duo to add to this list of fiery: Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. According to Us Weekly, Grammy execs were asked to keep the two country megastars from crossing paths at this Sunday's awards since they "hate each other."
Well ... that's awkward. One of Taylor's friends told the magazine that "Taylor feels Carrie is always rude to her, so she steers clear." I'll be real, I highly doubt that these two actually have really serious beef, but the possibility of it doesn't surprise me. Taylor's young and on top of her game and Carrie's a seasoned vet. Plenty of room for cattiness when you're competing for the same fans.
But come ON -- if this feud is real, this is the Grammys for crying out loud. Can't we put aside our "problems" and get along?
Life's just too short. Even though Taylor's relationship patterns bother the hell out of me, she's one talented lady, and so is Carrie. The Grammy Awards is a time to laugh at horribly dressed musicians and then come together and celebrate the past year in music. Both leading singers deserve to be there, to be honored, and to enjoy the night. Plain and simple: there's just no reason that seeing someone that isn't your BEST friend should ruin that big of an occasion. What are we, 13 again?
I'm not saying that Taylor and Carrie need to get up on stage, sing a duet, and then hug it out or anything. If this little feud is real, though, they should just do themselves a favor, be mature, and put their differences behind them. They're too talented to let something like this tarnish their image.
Do you think the feud is real? Are you on Team Carrie or Team Taylor?

Vikings Release Kluwe
The Vikings released punter Chris Kluwe Monday after drafting punter Jeff Locke from UCLA in the 5th round of last month's NFL draft. Kluwe tweeted "So long Minnesota, and thanks for all the fish. Thank you for the fans, my teammates, and the Wilf Family for the past 8.5 years. I wouldn't have traded it for anything".
Kluwe has punted for the Vikings from 2005-2012. He averaged 45 yards per put and had a net of 39 yards per punt in 2012. Kluwe is 31-years old and became outspoken this past year on social issues including the gay marriage question in Minnesota. Kluwe is hoping to catch on with another NFL team.

Four Houston Dynamo players – Boniek Garcia, Andre Hainault, Jermaine Taylor and Je-Vaughn Watson – have been called up for international duty for a pair of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers on Sept. 7 and Sept. 11.
Midfielder Boniek Garcia will join the Honduran national team for its home-and-home matchup against Cuba. Honduras visits Havana for a road match on Sept. 7 and will host Cuba in San Pedro Sula on Sept. 11. Garcia played 90 minutes in both of Honduras' World Cup qualifiers in June and has earned 67 caps for Los Catrachos.
Defender Andre Hainault has been called up by Canada for its home-and-home encounter with Panama. The Canadians host Panama on Sept. 7 in Toronto before traveling to Panama City for the Sept. 11 meeting. Hainault played 90 minutes in Canada's 2-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago on Aug. 15. The Montreal native played 90 minutes in Canada's last four matches and has 28 international caps.
Defender Jermaine Taylor and midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson earned call-ups by the Jamaican federation for its series against the United States. The Reggae Boyz will host the U.S. in Kingston on Sept. 7 before the nations meet again four days later in Columbus, Ohio. Taylor has made 49 appearances for his country, including a 90-minute outing in Jamaica's 2-0 friendly win over El Salvador on Aug. 15. Watson has been capped 20 times by Jamaica.
All players will report to their respective teams following the Dynamo's road match against the Chicago Fire on Sunday (6 p.m. CT, Galavision). The players will be unavailable for Houston's home match on Sept. 6 against Real Salt Lake, but will return to the club ahead of the Eastern Conference showdown at Sporting Kansas City on Sept. 14.
