Jury finds former Milwaukee cop not guilty in Sylville Smith shooting
Dominique Heaggan-Brown faced first-degree reckless homicide charge in Smith's Aug. 13 shooting death

Dominique Heaggan-Brown faced first-degree reckless homicide charge in Smith's Aug. 13 shooting death
A Milwaukee County jury has found Dominique Heaggan-Brown not guilty of homicide in the shooting death of Sylville Smith.
During jury instructions, the judge told the jurors they could consider lesser charges if they did not find him guilty of first-degree reckless homicide.
The other two options were:
--Second-degree reckless homicide, which carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.
-- Homicide by negligent operation of a dangerous weapon, which carries a five year prison sentence.
The shooting, which happened Aug. 13, ignited riots in Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood.
The jury got the case just before midday Tuesday following closing arguments from both sides.
Prosecutors said the first shot fired by Heaggan-Brown was justifiable, but the second shot, just 1.69 seconds later, was not, because by then, Smith had dropped or tossed his gun away.
"Mr. Heaggan-Brown knew at the time he fired that second shot that Sylville Smith had already disarmed himself. He knew that Sylville Smith was attempting to surrender," Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said.
But Heaggan-Brown's defense argued he was acting as he was trained and only fired to protect himself and another officer.
"The state admits that the first shot was a justified shot. And our argument is that justification did not change over the course of 1.69 seconds between shots," defense attorney Jonathan Smith said.
The death of Smith at the hands of Heaggan-Brown on Aug. 13 angered Sherman Park residents and highlighted the strained relationship between police and African-Americans in the city. But the case is different from recent high-profile police shootings that have inspired a national conversation about how officers interact with African-Americans: Heaggan-Brown and Smith are both black and from the north side of the city where the shooting occurred.
Prosecutors charged Heaggan-Brown with first-degree reckless homicide, arguing the former officer didn't need to use deadly force against Smith, who had thrown away the gun he was carrying.
A police expert in the use of deadly force testified Monday that Heaggan-Brown "acted in accordance with his training."
"From what (Heaggan-Brown) knew, he was presented with a deadly threat and responded," said Robert Willis, who has trained police officers and wrote Wisconsin's Defensive and Arrest Tactics Manual.
The fatal encounter between Heaggan-Brown and Smith happened in the span of 12 seconds and was captured by police body cameras.
Heaggan-Brown and two other officers had approached Smith's rental car because it was parked more than a foot from the curb, and police believed a drug deal was happening. But the situation quickly escalated when Smith ran.
After a brief foot chase, Smith slipped and hit the ground. Heaggan-Brown shot Smith on his right bicep as he stood and threw the gun away over a fence. He shot him again less than two seconds later, this time in the chest, when Smith fell on his back.
Willis was the only witness called by the defense after Heaggan-Brown announced on Friday that he would not take the witness stand.
Prosecutors questioned Willis' credibility by noting he had not visited the scene of the shooting and only saw bodycam video from Heaggan-Brown but not footage from the vantage point of another officer who was there.
Chisholm has said that Heaggan-Brown was justified when he fired the first shot, but argues the second shot was unnecessary.
To explain his point, Chisholm has cited bodycam video from one of Heaggan-Brown's fellow officers, who was to the right of Heaggan-Brown and a few steps behind. From that officer's perspective, Heaggan-Brown shot Smith in the chest from a few feet away when Smith was on his back.
Heaggan-Brown's attorneys, however, have said he needed to act fast to defend himself and didn't have the benefit of watching the encounter unfold in slow-motion.
Heaggan-Brown faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted. Jurors are also being given the option to choose from two lesser charges instead -- second-degree reckless homicide and homicide by negligent operation of a dangerous weapon. The lesser charges carry sentences of up to 25 years and 10 years respectively.
Heaggan-Brown was fired two months after the shooting when he was charged with sexual assault in an unrelated case.

Pietro Metastasio
Life of the 18th century poet and librettist
Contributor: James Sanderson
Metastasio, Pietro (1698-1782), Italian poet, whose librettos dominated 18th-century opera. Born in Rome and originally named Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi, he was educated in law and the classics by a wealthy patron and studied music under the Italian opera composer Nicola Porpora. His first libretto, Didone abbandonata (Dido Abandoned, 1724), established his fame in Italy, and in 1730 he went to Vienna as court poet. His 27 librettos were set to music more than 800 times by such composers as W. A. Mozart, the Germans Christoph Willibald Gluck, Johann Christian Bach, and George Frideric Handel, and the Italians Giovanni Pergolesi, Tommaso Traëtta, and Niccolň Jommelli. With their aristocratic ideals and conflicts of reason and feeling, they were perfectly suited to 18th-century heroic opera. They include Artaserse (1730), Alessandro nell'Indie (1731), and La clemenza di Tito (The Clemency of Titus, 1734). His verse was admired for its musicality and faithfulness to speech.

We've been hearing since the beginning of June that Microsoft, and specifically CEO Steve Ballmer, were prepping a major reorganization of the company to better reflect their new role as a "devices and services" company. Rumors were that we would hear about the specifics of the plan by July 1st but that time has come and gone.
Now, Bloomberg is citing a few sources on one possible plan for the company. One move has Skype president Tony Bates being placed in charge of acquisitions and relationships with software developers, while current head of Windows Julie Larson-Greene (who was on stage recently at Build), would get oversight of hardware engineering for the whole company, including Xbox, Surface and what else Redmond has at their Skunkworks.
Bloomberg notes, however, that these plans are not final and some last minute changes could still be expected, making this story more of a potential direction rather than a solid one.
Recently, Xbox head Don Mattrick left the company in a surprise move to head up Zynga. Evidently, Mattrick was being considered for the hardware oversight role before he left to be CEO of struggling game maker Zynga.
Speculation that Windows Phone chief Terry Myerson would oversee that division and some of the software of Windows 8.x is also still on the table, further teasing the idea that Windows 8 and Windows Phone will come closer and closer under a single head.
With the July 4th holiday afoot, we wouldn't expect to hear much more on this reorganization until at least next Monday. But make no mistake, it will send some shockwaves through the company when it does happen.

From Carnegie Hall to smoky dives, from Amsterdam's Concertgebouw to the legendary folk music venue Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts, bassist Jim Guttmann has played everything from klezmer to classical — and most styles in between. In a remarkable career spanning more than 30 years, he's performed with a myriad of groups including the Klezmer Conservatory Band, singers Eartha Kitt and Mark Murphy, the Really Eclectic String Quartet, blues masters Johnny Shines and James Cotton, the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Texas swing legend Tiny Moore, new acoustic music guitar virtuoso Russ Barenberg, the Artie Shaw Orchestra, and many more. Whether he's swinging a jazz tune, holding down the clave rhythm in an Afro-Cuban song, or nailing a lively sirba with a klezmer band, Guttmann plays with great warmth, sophistication, and flawless time.
A native New Yorker, Guttmann played electric bass in rock bands while studying psychology at Adelphi University. After moving to Boston in 1970 to earn a Master's degree in Mass Communications from Emerson College, he switched to string bass and entered the busy Boston-area blues, jazz, bluegrass, and new acoustic music scene. The recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant to study the arco solo tradition in jazz bass playing, Guttmann has studied performance with Boston Symphony Orchestra principle bassist Edwin Barker and jazz bassist Dave Holland, harmony with Richard Cornell, and techniques for improvisation with Charlie Banacos.
As a member of eclectic bluegrass quartet Cheap Trills from 1975 to 1979, he worked with like-minded string players whose performances included everything from Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite" and Mongo Santamaria's "Afro Blue" to traditional Appalachian tunes and Texas waltzes. He was a regular on the jazz scene, as well, sitting in with the Boston edition of Jaki Byard's Apollo Stompers on many occasions. He also performed regularly with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra until the mid-1980s.
In 1980, New England Conservatory's Hankus Netsky asked Guttmann to join a new group he was organizing, the Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB). The KCB was almost single-handedly responsible for launching the modern klezmer music revival. Guttmann has remained with the group ever since, appearing on all ten of their recordings; touring Europe, Australia, and America; and performing and recording with Joel Grey and Itzhak Perlman. He also performs in klezmer ensembles with Andy Statman and Frank London, and in Alicia Svigals' Klezmer Fiddle Express. In addition, he is a member of the Grammy-winning ensemble featured on Yehudi Wyner's "The Mirror," a klezmer influenced chamber work released on the Naxos label.
In the early '80s, Guttmann was also a founding member of violinist Mimi Rabson's Really Eclectic String Quartet (RESQ), whose members have also included violinists Joel Smirnoff (who left Boston to join the Julliard String Quartet) and Matt Glaser. The band's repertoire lives up to its name and includes traditional Eastern European tunes, originals, Texas swing, Afro-Cuban, and even the garage rock classic, "Louie Louie." He appears on their self-titled 1992 debut CD released on Northeastern Records and on their second release, To the RESQ (Meemz Music, 1998). Guttmann was musical director for Boston-area vocalist Wanetta Jackson's tribute to Aretha Franklin presented first at the 1986 Tufts Jazz Festival and again, in 1989, at the Charles Playhouse. The Boston Herald called the eight-piece band led by Guttmann "as unabashed pleasure" and "tight, brassy, and bright."
In 2010, Guttmann released Bessarabian Breakdown, his first CD as a leader on Kleztone Records. Surrounding himself with current and former members of the KCB, as well as friends from throughout his career, he leads various ensembles through a program that reflects his many interests. The album features straight-ahead celebratory klezmer, as well as fusions of klezmer with different jazz styles, R&B, Afro-Cuban music, and other unexpected but danceable, hybrids. "Basically, I wanted to include everything I love about what I've done over the past 30 years," he says.

Direct Loan Program
A Direct Loan is a low-interest loan funded with monies from the U.S. Treasury which students may borrow while attending school and begin repaying once they graduate or drop below the half-time status of taking at least 6 hours per semester.
Congress establishes the interest rate, which is currently 6.6% for loans disbursed after July 1, 2018. The interest and principal repayments are deferred as long as the student remains on at least half-time status in an approved degree program and provided the loan was issued after July 1, 1987.
Financial Aid is available to assist students and their families by providing options suitable for their financial status. For more information on the specific forms of financial aid available, contact the office at 800–992–0998.
4 Step Process to Request a Loan:
- FAFSA – The Department of Education's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be filled out online. Please use the provided link to access the site directly. You should not have to pay anything to submit the application. The FAFSA must be filled out in order to process a Student Aid Report (used to process Loans). Each FAFSA covers one school year (example: Fall 2017/Spring 2018/Summer 2018). A new FAFSA must be completed for each school year. The school code for Dallas Seminary is G03562. The DTS Financial Aid Office strongly encourages applicants to select the option to allow the FAFSA to retrieve your IRS data. Doing so will save you time by eliminating the need for DTS to request additional tax forms from you at a later date if you are selected for verification.
- Electronic Master Promissory Note – Once completed, the eMPN is valid for up to ten years.
- Entrance Counseling – A new Entrance Counseling needs to be completed if this is your first Direct Loan at DTS.
- Loan Request Form – This form must be completed each time loan funds are requested.
- Loan Request Form 2018-2019 – Valid for Fall 2018, Spring 2019, and/or Summer 2019
Return of Funds Policy for Title IV Aid (Direct Loan) Recipients Who Withdraw
Currently the only Title IV aid funds DTS awards are the Direct Loan unsubsidized loans. When a student withdraws from DTS before completing 60% of the semester, the student has not "earned" all of the federal financial aid and a Return of Title IV Funds Calculation must be performed.
The Department of Education mandates that students who withdraw from all classes may only keep the portion of federal aid they have "earned" up to the time of withdrawal.
Title IV funds disbursed in excess of the earned amount must be returned by the Seminary and/or the student to the federal government. This situation could result in the student owing aid funds to the Seminary, government, or both.
The following steps will be followed when determining the amount of Title IV federal aid to be returned upon withdrawal:
- Determine percentage of enrollment period completed by student. Divide the number of days attended by the number of days (less any schedule breaks of five days or more) in the enrollment period.
- Calculate the amount of earned Title IV aid. Multiply the percentage of the enrollment period completed by the total Title IV aid disbursed. If the calculated percentage of the enrollment period exceeds 60%, then the student has earned all Title IV aid for the enrollment period.
- Determine amount of unearned aid to be returned. Subtract the amount of earned aid from the total amount of federal aid disbursed.
- Return of Title IV funds by institution and student:
- Amount of Unearned Aid Due from the School – DTS will return unearned Title IV aid up to an amount that is equal to the total institutional charges for the payment period multiplied by the percentage of the Title IV aid that was unearned. The return of the unearned aid will be return as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the date DTS determined the student withdrew.
- Amount of Unearned Aid Due from the Student – The student's portion of aid to be returned is not immediately required to repay the loan. The terms of the original loan repayment agreement (mpn) will apply.
Unearned Title IV Funds will be returned to the unsubsidized federal direct loan program.
Post-withdrawal disbursements will be made as soon as possible but no later than 180 days after the date the school determines the student withdrew and in accordance with requirements for disbursing Title IV funds.
Written notification to the student providing the opportunity to accept all or part of a Post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV loan funds will be sent within 30 days of the schools determination that the student withdrew.
Written notification of student's eligibility for a direct Post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV loan funds in excess of outstanding current (educational related charges) will be sent within 30 days of the school's determination that the student withdrew.
Post-withdrawal disbursement to student for earned Title IV funds in excess of outstanding current (educational related) charges will be made as soon as possible after the date the school determined the student withdrew but no later than 180 days.
Notification to student of outcome of late request for a Post-withdrawal disbursement to the student (request received by school after the specified period and school chooses not to make disbursement) will be made as soon as possible.
If a student withdraws from all classes, the student is encouraged to contact the Financial Aid office before doing so. The consequences of withdrawing from all classes can be explained to you at that time. A balance due to DTS could result when all classes are withdrawn, scholarships lost due to withdrawing, and unearned aid is returned.
The Seminary reserves the right to amend the Title IV Return of Funds Policy at any time in order to comply with Federal regulations.

Aisle Navigator
building a web application enabling customers to build a shopping list for groceries and then choose the grocery store nearby and then get a printable list of the items categorized by which aisle they are in.
this will allow the customer to do some of the following:
(1) target only those aisles with the items they are looking for
(2) hand the list to a spouse and work their way from each side knowing exactly what to get
(3) hand the list to a teen and have them be able to find the items in the store

Lawmakers Set to Grill Defense, VA on Health Records U-Turn
House Veterans' Affairs panel schedules a hearing on decision to abandon integrated system.
The House Veterans' Affairs Committee plans to hold a hearing on Wednesday, Feb. 27, on the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments' Feb. 6 decision to drop plans to develop a $4 billion integrated electronic health record and instead pursue less expensive technologies to make their respective systems more interoperable.
The hearing -- "Electronic Health Record U-Turn: Are VA and DoD Headed in the Wrong Direction?" -- probably will not be warm and fuzzy based on comments about the decision to abandon the joint health record posted on the committee website from key congressmen and senators.
Committee Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., said, "The decision by DoD and VA to turn their backs on a truly integrated electronic health record system is deeply troubling…. Previous attempts by DoD and VA to use disparate computer systems to produce universal electronic health records have failed, and unfortunately it appears they are repeating past mistakes."
Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said, "I am deeply disappointed by the VA and Defense Department decision to back away from a commitment to develop and implement a truly integrated, single, electronic health record."
And Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C. said, "The fact that VA and DoD would reverse course on a plan they have been working towards for years that would create a coordinated electronic health record system between the two agencies is concerning and disappointing."
Rep. Mike Michaud, D-Maine, ranking member of the House committee, had this to offer: "This is a huge setback and completely unacceptable. For years we have been told by both agencies that progress was made and that things were on track. I'm disappointed that our nation's two largest government agencies -- one of which is the world's foremost developer of high-tech machines and cyber-systems -- could not come together on something that would have been so beneficial to those that served. We have just witnessed hundreds of millions of dollars go down the drain."
No witness list yet -- but I have a hunch the top leaders of both departments will be summoned for a grilling.

So guess what? I'm still playing Skyrim. A lot. Shocker. I don't think I've advanced the main story at all since my last Skyrim post, though. I've been doing other important things! Like…scouring the world for Nirnroot so some chick in Riften will get off my case about her experiments…and making Apple-Cabbage Soup for my journeys….yeah.
My boyfriend and I are playing simultaneously and he is just as trapped in the word as I am. We are gearing up to do some geeky shit like write some Skyrim fanfiction! If that doesn't expose who I really am..
I still have Lydia! I've worked really hard at keeping her alive. Girlfriend gets in the way sometimes though! This guys Lydia wasn't so lucky…makes me sad. I feel his pain.
The last two times I've arrived at Dawnstar, dragons have appeared. I just slay, and everyone stands around like "ZOMG, a dragon"
I love Dawnstar for some reason. It's remote, no one really goes there, and I'm a hero cause of all the dragons I've destroyed here. I've mentioned this before, but I love snowy, arctic settings. Does something for me, I tell ya. I finally got in good with the Jarl here, so I basically own this shit now.
Sigh. This game, right?? It's a bit out of control with how expansive it is. And I love that. I do have issues with it at times. Like how I can't seem to keep a horse alive. That's the games fault, dammit! The horse mechanics are lame. Oh and the hair for everybody is so bad. It kind of looks like something peed on your head and it dried and that's it. Once I finish the game (ha) I will attempt a fair review, including the good and bad. Until then…SKYRIM.

Joe Johnson Lifts Streaking Atlanta Hawks — Weekly NBA Roundup [VIDEO]
NBA teams have fewer than 20 games remaining in their 2011-12 seasons. Only the Atlantic and Pacific division races are still close, while the Chicago Bulls are the lone team to clinch a playoff spot thus far. Here's what's happening in the NBA this week:
Team on the Rise: Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta (30-20) extended its current win streak to four games with a 139-133 win over Utah on Sunday in the NBA's first four overtime-game since 1997. The victory was the Hawks' third in three days. Joe Johnson and Josh Smith have been outstanding for Atlanta, which has won seven of 10 games. Johnson was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday after he averaged 23.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists while the Hawks went 4-1. Few give coach Larry Drew's group a chance at advancing past teams like Chicago, Miami or Orlando in the playoffs, but Atlanta is talented enough to surprise.
Team on the Decline: Minnesota Timberwolves
Despite Kevin Love's 51 points on Friday, his Timberwolves (24-26) lost to Oklahoma City, 149-140, in double overtime. The loss is representative of Minnesota's season. Love has been among the league's best power forwards, while teammates such as J.J. Barea, Nikola Pekovic and Michael Beasley have been inconsistent, when they haven't been injured. The season-ending knee injury suffered recently by talented point guard Ricky Rubio sent the Timberwolves into a 3-6 tailspin. Minnesota has lost seven of 10 games overall and has now fallen two-and-a-half games out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Play of the Week: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Lakers star Kobe Bryant finds a way to score even when he's hacked by Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks. Watch the circus shot in the video below:
Player on the Rise: DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento Kings
DeMarcus Cousins capped a week of solid individual performances by scoring a career-high 38 points on Monday for Sacramento (17-32). Despite Cousins' effort, Houston beat the Kings, 113-106, in overtime. Over the past four games, Cousins has averaged 27.8 points and 13.8 rebounds. Unfortunately for the second-year center, the Kings are 1-3 in those contests. After a slow start — and a feud with now-former head coach Paul Westphal — Cousins looks to be developing into a consistent double-double threat.
Player on the Decline: Tayshaun Prince, Detroit Pistons
Normally a lock for double figures in scoring, Tayshaun Prince averaged just 7.7 points per game for the Pistons (17-32) in the past week prior to Monday's 18-point performance against Washington. As Detroit builds for the future with guard Brandon Knight and center Greg Monroe, the versatile Prince must return to consistent production to help get the Pistons back to respectability. Detroit's 79-77 win over the Wizards on Monday illustrates how much better they are when Prince is contributing.
Coach on the Hot Seat: Rick Carlisle, Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks (28-22) beat Houston, 101-99, on Saturday to get a crucial win, but head coach Rick Carlisle should start feeling the pressure as his defending world champions chase a playoff berth. With the Western Conference standings so close, the Mavericks must keep winning to assure themselves a chance to defend their title. Dallas is just 7-9 since the All-Star break, and Carlisle must find a way to get his veteran team to sense the urgency of the season. Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the Lakers all have much better teams than the Mavericks right now. Dallas may have to beat two of them to get back to the NBA Finals.
Bizarre Stat of the Week: Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder
After scoring 45 and 40 points respectively in Oklahoma City's 149-140 double-overtime win over Minnesota on Friday, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant became the first tandem in NBA history to have 40 points apiece in two games in the same season.

Royals use two-run eighth to beat Astros
Kansas City, MO – Billy Butler and David Lough both hit RBI doubles in the bottom of the eighth inning to help the Kansas City Royals down the Houston Astros, 4-2, in the opener of a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium.
Wesley Wright (0-2) started the eighth for Houston with the game tied at 2-2 and allowed an Eric Hosmer single. Josh Fields then took the hill and forced a quick out, though Butler smacked a double to left and two batters later, Lough added some insurance with a two-bagger to help the Royals secure the win.
Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer, while starter James Shields lasted seven solid innings, allowing both runs on nine hits with six strikeouts. Greg Holland retired the side in the ninth for his 11th save of the season.
The Royals have won three straight.
Jason Castro and Trevor Crowe drove in the lone runs for Houston, which had a six-game road winning streak come to an end. Jordan Lyles also lasted seven frames, allowing two runs on six hits for the Astros, who were looking to win seven straight road games for the first time since Sept. 3-9, 1999.
"I have a lot of respect for him," Lyles said of facing Shields. "He made a bunch of pitches. I remember sitting in the dugout on the bench and him making a lot of crucial pitches to get double plays with guys on third. He did a really good job once again."
Hosmer lead off the fourth with a infield single that deflected off Shields' glove. Perez followed with a shot to left, giving the Royals a 2-1 lead.
Both pitchers continued to battle as the game progressed, though Houston rallied in the seventh to tie the game at 2-2.
Marwin Gonzalez smacked a leadoff single, then advanced to second on wild pitch. After a strikeout, Crowe's groundout to the right side moved Gonzalez to third with two outs, before Castro came through with a clutch run- scoring double.
"I was trying to go inside with a fastball," Shields said. "I hadn't thrown a fastball the whole entire at-bat right there. I think I was trying to do too much. I threw it over the heart of the plate. I think if I threw a changeup or curveball right there I might have gotten a groundball or something like that. But the bottom line is we won the game."
Houston opened up the scoring in the third, as Crowe's RBI triple plated Brandon Barnes.
Game Notes
The Astros fell to 10-6 all-time at Kauffman Stadium ... Lyles entered the game having posted a 2-0 record and 1.90 ERA in his past four starts ... Shields is 0-4 over his last seven starts and has received just 11 runs of support ... The Astros just dropped two of three at home to Baltimore, but recently swept a six-game trip in Colorado and Anaheim before that set ... Shields' last win came on April 30.

Lee strong as Phils down Giants
San Francisco, CA – Cliff Lee tossed eight innings of two-run ball in the Philadelphia Phillies' 6-2 win over the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game set.
Lee (3-2) fanned six and surrendered just five hits for Philadelphia, which was coming off an embarrassing 14-2 loss against the lowly Miami Marlins.
"We underperformed this first month, and it's time for us to turn it on. Tonight was a good start in that direction," Lee said.
Michael Young slapped two doubles among his three hits, drove in two and scored a run in the triumph.
Hunter Pence smacked a solo homer and a double among his three hits for the Giants, who had their six-game winning streak snapped.
"Pence had a great night, but it was a rough night for the rest of the group," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Madison Bumgarner (3-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings to pick up his first loss of the year.
The Phillies jumped out to a 5-1 lead after plaing three runs in the second and two more in the fifth.
With the bases loaded and two away in the second, Young ripped a two-run, one- hop double into the right field corner before Chase Utley scampered home on a wild pitch.
San Francisco got a run back in the home half on Pence's solo shot into the left-field seats, but Delmon Young's sacrifice fly and Domonic Brown's solo homer over the wall in right made it a four-run spread after five frames.
Pence doubled to begin the eighth and scored on Jimmy Rollins' throwing error on Francisco Peguero's infield single to cut the gap to 5-2.
Philly, though, added insurance in the ninth on Rollins' sacrifice fly and Jonathan Papelbon secured the win with a 1-2-3 bottom half.
Game Notes
The Phillies were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base ... Brown's homer was his sixth of the year ... Pence cracked his sixth round-tripper of the season.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop low back pain or sciatica with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing low back pain or sciatica. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors include:
Overuse of the back muscles during any activity.
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause low back pain, especially in adults.
Sedentary Job or Lifestyle
Muscles that support the back can become weak with lack of exercise.
Work that requires the following motions puts additional stress on the back:
Participating in Strenuous or Contact Sports
Cigarette Smoking
Smoking may cause discs in the spine to wear down.
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall health. Extra weight can increase pressure on the spinal muscles and disks.
Improper Lifting Techniques
When you lift objects with your back muscles instead of the stronger muscles in your legs, you increase your risk of back injury.
As you grow older, the disks in your back begin to lose water content and degenerate. This increases the risk of disk problems and back pain, especially after age 40. However, even with some disk degeneration, most people do not have back pain.
Psychosocial factors
Stress, anxiety, and negative mood may increase your risk of low back pain

samtanip needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 170 designs submitted by 51 freelance designers.
Samtani Coffee
I've just acquired a coffee shop that I need to rebrand and get up and running again. It's been closed for about 5 months and so I need to relaunch it in the town.
As many people as possible. I want them all - rich, poor - this logo can't put anyone off
Vector images only:
So, first thing, have a look at the existing shop front:
I want a design that fits on the existing backing reading 'Samtani Coffee' - wether the logo is centred or to one side I'll let you decide. I like the idea of a steaming coffee cup - something along those lines. I hate the existing font used to create that sign, it's too bland. It has no character
I don't want to have to get rid of the dark red/burgandy colour behind the existing sign as this is repeated throughout the shop (inc detail like the door and window frame! - but I do need it to be an obvious change. As you can see there is a dominos pizza to the left and a shop on the right with a pretty bad sign (baby blue text). The new logo/text can't clash!
Now take a look to the top right hand corner of the door.. the previous owners use the center logo as a hanging sign so the brand can be visible when walking up the high street. Also the same circular logo is hanging in the window. I need something similar. (doesn't need to be circular though)
Cups: Because I need to brand the new cups, when designing bare this in mind. Whether I use the logo on it's own, or the entire thing just depends on the final choice I guess.
I think that's everything... please don't hesitate to ask if you need more info.

A massive hydroelectric dam and associated land grabs for plantations threaten the tribes of the Lower Omo River
The tribes have lived in this area for centuries and have developed techniques to survive in a challenging environment.
They have not given their free, prior and informed consent for the dam or the plantations and have already started to lose their livelihoods based on the river's natural flood cycle.
The Lower Omo River in south west Ethiopia is home to eight different tribes whose population is about 200,000.
They have lived there for centuries.
However the future of these tribes lies in the balance. A massive hydro-electric dam, Gibe III , has now been built on the Omo river in order to support vast commercial plantations that are forcing the tribes from their land.
Salini Costruttori, an Italian company, started construction work on the dam at the end of 2006, and it is now complete. The government is now planning to building Gibe IV and Gibe V.
This will destroy a fragile environment and the livelihoods of the tribes, which are closely linked to the river and its annual flood.
After carrying out preliminary evaluation studies, both the European Investment Bank and the African Development Bank announced in 2010 that they were no longer considering funding Gibe III .
However, China's largest bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, agreed to fund part of the construction of the dam, and the World Bank is funding power transmission lines from the dam.
Hundreds of kilometers of irrigation canals are diverting the life giving waters to the plantations.
Survival and various regional and international organizations, as well as hydrologists and other researchers, believe that the Gibe III Dam and the plantations will have catastrophic consequences for the tribes of the Omo River, who already live close to the margins of life in this dry and challenging area.
Download 'What Future for Lake Turkana?' by Sean Avery
In 2011 the government began to lease out vast blocks of fertile land in the Lower Omo region to Malaysian, Italian, Indian and Korean companies to plant biofuels and cash crops such as oil palm, jatropha, cotton and maize. It has started to evict Bodi, Kwegu, and Mursi people from their land into resettlement areas to make way for the large state-run Kuraz Sugar Project, covering 150,000 hectares but which could eventually cover 245,000 hectares. The Suri who live west of the Omo are also being forcibly resettled to make way for large commercial plantations.

The Experience Indiana Speakers and Artists Series invites the Wabash community to two public talks by author and professor Douglas Hofstadter. Professor Hofstadter will give a public lecture entitled "Creativity and Analogy on Thursday, April 3 at 8 p.m. in Hays Hall, Room 104, followed by a Math and Computer Science colloquium on Friday, April 4 at noon in Baxter Hall, Room 101.
Copies of Douglas Hofstadter's books, Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid and I am a Strange Loop, are free to members of the Wabash community through the generous support of the Lecture Committee. Books are on a first come first serve basis outside Armory 112. He will also spend time in Wabash mathematics and philosophy classes.
Douglas Hofstadter is College Professor of Cognitive Science and Computer Science at Indiana University, where he also directs the Fluid Analogies Research Group, nicknamed "FARG," at the Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition. For roughly 25 years, the FARGonauts have been making computational models of our human concepts and categories, the premise being that if and when these mini-concepts achieve the holy grail of "fluidity," creative analogy making will be an outcome.
Hofstadter's interests concerning the human mind are varied, ranging from errors as a window on the mind to the mechanisms of creativity to the nature of consciousness (see I Am a Strange Loop, his 2007 book). Currently his most active goal is to reveal how analogy-making lies at the base of all human thought, which he writes about in "Analogy as the Core of Cognition."
Hofstadter has a lifelong love for languages, and has written a tome about translation, analogies, constraints, and creativity, plus translated many poems and two novels into English. He has also spent much time doing art and music.
From 1981 to 1983, taking over from Martin Gardner's incomparable "Mathematical Games" column, Hofstadter wrote the free-ranging "Metamagical Themas" column for Scientific American, from which a book of that title was later created.
Hofstadter received his doctorate in physics from the University of Oregon in 1975, and his thesis project led him to discover that crystal electrons in magnetic fields have a beautiful self-similar energy spectrum, the graph of which has since been dubbed the "Hofstadter butterfly." A couple of decades after his Ph.D., he started avidly exploring the astonishing role played by irrational analogical leaps in progress in physics, and he plans eventually to write a book on the topic.
In the early 1960's, Douglas Hofstadter majored in mathematics at Stanford, and it was his passion for number theory and logic that led him eventually to writing the book for which he is best known, Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid (1980 Pulitzer Prize award). He is presently focused on the discovery process in mathematics.

Agree with dog critics
My only regret is that it has taken me so long to comment on the flippant, scofflaw article about Pastorius Park in your April 5 issue. Since Susan, Mike and Brad (Thursday, April 12) have done such a fine job of pointing out the foolishness of the Local's article and the arrogance of the Pastorius dog owners, I will simply add the following:
I'm not just a dog lover, but, with my wife, an owner of two dogs, whom we view as members of the family. We admittedly spoil them and enjoy doing that but we do not intentionally inflict their presence or ours on the surrounding neighborhood. My own feeling is that if you really love dogs, you and your dog behave as good neighbors, thereby making life easier for everyone, including the dogs, maybe even especially the dogs. Keeping your dog on leash, except where leashes are specifically not required, is basic courtesy and basic good sense.
The attitudes demonstrated by dog owners in Pastorius Park have been a thorn in my side for years. We went to that particular park once and only once with our Lab. People were holding limp leashes as their dogs ran, walked, cavorted, and sometimes behaved in threatening ways to people and other canines.
No one was bitten while we were there, no one was knocked down. Nevertheless it was an unfriendly environment, an environment in which anything might happen, and an environment in which, as far as I could see, only our Lab, my wife, and I were not in violation of the law.
On the one Sunday morning that we were in Pastorius, dog owners sipped coffee, socialized with each other, and seemingly ignored their dogs. Not incidentally, more than a few people did not pick up after the dogs. How could they? They weren't paying any attention to what their dogs were doing.
As a grandfather, I understand Brad's concern about his 2-year-old. As someone who knows a boy who is "deathly afraid of dogs" due to a long ago incident with an unleashed dog, I empathize with Brad's daughter. As for Mike's and Susan's comments, I'm so glad you said all that you did.

Sad to see Morais leaving
I recently attended a Founding Members' Reception given by the Musehouse for Literary Arts. The event was held at the Chestnut Hill Hotel and the food by Chestnut Grill, service and conversation was fabulous.
The highlight was a reading by Chestnut Hill resident (and soon to be New Yorker) Richard C. Morais from his bestseller," The Hundred-Foot Journey," about a young Indian chef who becomes a Parisian star. As a 'foodie' and a writer, I am thoroughly enjoying the novel.
I understand Mr. Morais has been an ardent supporter of Musehouse since it opened a year or so ago.
I am happy for Richard as he pursues his writing career, but sorry to learn that he is leaving our community. When I do another book signing, I hope to bring with me the humility, patience and generosity that Mr. Morais shared with his audience.

Sometimes you just luck into a special moment. That is what happened to me and several other people last Wednesday at the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) conference and trade show in Las Vegas. I made my way to the Octane Fitness booth for an appointment, but all my plans went out the window when I found out that Augie Nieto was going to use a specially motorized xRide seated elliptical at the Octane booth.
I was amazed. Nieto was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease) in 2005, and the condition now prevents him from speaking and makes it necessary for him to use a breathing machine and a wheelchair. The thought that he could use an xRide seemed miraculous to me.
A crowd of Nieto's friends (one of them being Chris Clawson, president of Life Fitness, which Nieto founded) and admirers began to gather as word got out. After more than 15 minutes of positioning Nieto on the machine, tightening straps to hold him on and confirming with him that he was comfortable, the motor began to whirl, and off Nieto went (in some snappy footwear, no less). The motor moved the pedals, but the machine was built so that Nieto could overpower the motor and move the pedals himself. It seemed obvious from the smile on Nieto's face as the crowd cheered (and a few people teared up) that he was doing just that. This was a big moment, and watching the joy on his face and the face of Lynne, his wife, put me on a high that lasted the rest of the day.
After the IHRSA show, Nieto informed Club Industry that part of the reason for his improvement (besides the love and support of his family and friends, his athletic background and his relentless desire to keep pushing forward) is due to taking Gilenya, an FDA-approved drug for multiple sclerosis. Nieto says he pays $50,000 per year to use the drug, and he and Lynne have donated $750,000 to pay for the balance of the fundraising for the Phase 2a trial of the drug.
While standing at the Octane booth watching Nieto, I spoke with Tim Porth, co-founder and executive vice president of marketing and product development at Octane Fitness, Brooklyn Park, MN. Porth says that Nieto remains strong, attending each of the Octane board meetings. (He is chairman of Octane's board.) And the drug also has allowed Nieto to once again eat pudding and ice cream without his feeding tube. I can only imagine what it would be like to taste those treats again after a long absence.
Nieto had used a motorized xRide for about six months in 2008 as part of his physical therapy, Porth says, but then his condition deteriorated to the point where Nieto told them to throw it out because he could no longer use it. However, Nieto recently informed them that he needed another one built. Octane began work on the project and delivered the latest version to Nieto, who used it for the first time at his home in California just a few days prior to the IHRSA conference. Octane then shipped the xRide to the show so Nieto could demonstrate it there.
Nieto's determination to improve and find a cure for ALS through his efforts with the Muscular Dystrophy Association and his foundation, Augie's Quest, is inspiring. And while I was not at the Bash for Augie's Quest on Thursday night, our executive editor, Stuart Goldman, was. (He also was the one beside me taking the video of Nieto on the xRide.) At the Bash, which raised $1.6 million, Nieto did another workout by using a leg press machine, generating cheers from the Bash attendees.
Not all ALS patients are as blessed as Nieto to have the resources that he has, but he does not appear to be squandering those resources. Instead, he is using them to help himself and others like him. That is a special gift the fitness industry has been blessed to have.

Svetlana received the highest critical acclaim after Opening of 2018-19 Season Concert with Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra & Maestro Toshi ShimadaSunday, 28 October 2018
"The highlight of the evening had to be Sergei Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini", Op. 43, featuring the smoking hot playing of pianist Svetlana Smolina, who came out on stage in glittering red gown so beguiling that the audience chuckled when she sat in front of the keys. Never letting her concentration waver, Smolina proceeded to pounce on each note with either great ferocity or eager tenderness, majestically alternating between a clump of chords and a cascade of shimmering harp like high notes. This rhapsody is a real showpiece and the execution of the work was exquisite. Shimada wringing every last sentiment out of the string section while Smolina alternately marched and gambled up and down the keys right up until the humorous and unexpected ending.
The audience gave Smolina and the orchestra one of the most extended standing ovations ever during an ECSO concert".

Canadian Cyclist was the only Canadian publication invited to attend a factory tour last fall in Taiwan, hosted by TAITRA, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council. TAITRA administers the Taipei Cycle show, the third largest bike industry show in the world (after Eurobike and Interbike), and the largest for manufacturers (Eurobike and Interbike are mainly for retailers). Here is one of our factory visits - to read the overview to our visit and access all the articles, go to the main page Here
Pacific Cycles
No visit to the Taiwanese bike industry would be complete without a stop at Pacific Cycles. Although dwarfed in volume by comparison to companies such as Giant and Merida, the 30-plus year old Pacific Cycles has a niche position as a boutique design and production facility for many brands, including Banshee, Niner, Airnimal, Diamondback, Evil, Orbea, Louis Garneau and Kurt Kinetic - 15 in all at last count.
"We love bicycles," says Founder and Chairman George Lin. The company has turned over much of its original production facility to a museum of bicycle design, featuring models designed by both Pacific and others. Historical models, folding, recumbent, tricycles and handcycles, electric bikes and almost else anything you can think of are on display, showing the iterations the bicycle has gone through over the years.
In the Taiwanese bike industry, Pacific Cycles can boast a number of Taiwanese firsts:
- First to use AutoCAD in bike design (1985)
- First to buld bikes in aluminum (1988)
- First CNC machine shop (1998)
Pacific has actually become a destination for aspiring bike designers, with a visiting designer program that has numerous European and North American designers joining the company for varying periods to work on design - both their own and that of Pacific clients. Peter Denk, a top designer with both Scott and Cannondale, started at Pacific.
The assembly line has a somewhat relaxed feel to it at Pacific Cycles, with only 120 employees and producing (by Taiwanese standards) a miniscule 40,000 bikes per year (compared to Giant at five million-plus). Currently, Pacific produces 40% of their own brand models and 60% OEM, with Lin wanting to reverse the proportion but not increase total production significantly. The company is in the position of being able to pick the brands it wants to work with, choosing its customers by their innovative flair - no 'me too' production here.
The company has a strong environmental policy, eschewing carbon for aluminum because carbon is not as environmental (no recycling option).
"Be Small, Be Thyself," says founder George Lin.

What a DSTV Installation Technician does
This post is for anyone who is thinking about getting Direct TV with no nonsense, straight up facts on what you really need to know.
First, the technical mumbo jumbo - There are 6 active Direct TV satellites parked in outer space that are always in the same spot in reference to the ground. Every location in the United States pulls off of these satellites. The main satellite (named 101) has six replacement satellites in orbit directly underneath in case the main, active satellite fails. The two beside it are for HD and additional programming. The other two are for Spanish and international channels. So with basic, standard service you are only pulling off of satellite 101. The dish is small, has only one LNB (head) and reception is usually very easy to obtain because you just need a little hole in the sky to be able to get a signal. Then there is the KA/KU dish (HD) which is a much bigger dish that has 3 LNB's and pulls reception off of 3 different satellites. These are much harder to zone into because you need a much bigger piece of open sky, and you have to be incredibly accurate to get great reception off of all 3 Sats. If you are off center by 1 inch on the ground, you are 1000 miles off center in space. Which brings me to these important issues...
1. If your house is completely surrounded by huge trees or any other obstruction(s) then there is a large chance you will not get a signal. It amazes me how many people, after being told which direction needs to be clear, will have absolutely no line of sight for reception and yell, cry and complain when I tell them.. Please check your line of site. The operator will tell you exactly which direction to look from your zip code.
2. Installs are free to you WITH EXCEPTIONS. A basic install is putting up the dish, running cable (if needed) to the location that you want your receiver installed, and walking you through the guide when activated. That's it. If you do not have a line of site from any position ON your house then you will have to get a pole mount done. A pole mount will cost you $60 on the spot. Want an extra line to a room without a receiver? $40 cash. Anything that is not acquainted with the basic install WILL COST YOU CASH MONEY, ON THE SPOT!

Organising the GDE for the ILC engineering design phase
The next big milestone for the GDE is to develop an engineering design and document it in an Engineering Design Report (EDR). The Reference Design we have developed over the past year is a complete description of the ILC, but without much of the detailed engineering needed to make a full-fledged funding proposal. We expect the next phase will take about three years and will include detailed and reliable costing, as well as critical R&D results and demonstrations that are needed to support the proposal. We have been discussing and planning for this next phase for some time. In order to develop a concrete plan, I recently appointed an EDR Planning Task Force, under the leadership of Marc Ross, to analyse specific organisational models and structures.
|Marc Ross (Fermilab), who is leading the task force on EDR Plannings
|Brian Foster (Oxford), who led the EC study producing the general principles for organising the ILC Engineering Design Phase
We began to prepare for the EDR phase late last summer. From the beginning, we recognised the importance of careful planning and placed this subject as a regular agenda item for our weekly GDE Executive Committee (EC) meetings. Our continuing dialogue was led by Brian Foster (Oxford), who also did considerable homework on how other large projects have approached this problem. We developed our ideas and shared and discussed them with other GDE members at our workshop in Valencia last November, and then in a more mature form in Beijing in February. A short white paper was presented to the International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) following that meeting. A key conclusion was that the next phase should incorporate what will be needed to accomplish the engineering design by evolution, not revolution of the present GDE organisation. The paper recognised that substantial reform of its membership and structure will be required though.
Perhaps the most important conclusion from the EC discussions was to establish a more traditional project management structure within the GDE -- one that will give the project manager sufficient authority to manage the EDR phase. We are working toward creating a Project Management office, and I will report on that subject soon. The other key recommendation was that we employ a work package structure for organising and dividing up both the engineering design and R&D efforts, defining deliverables, reporting and accountability.
The EDR Planning Task Force has been created to help us develop a detailed plan for organising the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and, in fact, the detailed work packages we will need to do the work toward the EDR. The work of this task force should enable the new project management to become operational in a timely manner and with well thought out organisational structures. Marc Ross and colleagues are scheduling a weekly teleconference, planning face-to-face meetings with key groups and generally being broadly interactive within the GDE. The LCWS meeting in DESY will provide a milestone in this planning process where the task force will report its findings, as well as a forum to carry out broad discussions within the GDE community.
The EDR Planning Task Force consists of M. Ross (chair), H. Hayano, R. Kephart, L. Lilje, K. Oide, E. Paterson, N. Toge, A. Wolski. The members of the GDE Executive Committee will serve as ex-officio members. The group is getting off to a quick start and is already busily interpreting the charge, working to define the EDR and its timescales, and how should they organise their work. This summer, we will present the final ILC Reference Design to FALC and ILCSC/ICFA. At the same meetings, we will present our plan for the EDR and associated global R&D plan. By next autumn, we hope to be well underway on the next phase of our great adventure!
-- Barry Barish
