David Martinez returned to Echo Park last week after spending a few days in jail, and he was hungry. That's why Martinez and his wife, Gina Benavidez, and his sister were ordering tacos at about midnight from the taco truck at Logan Street near Sunset Boulevard when an LAPD squad car raced down Sunset Boulevard. Soon after 47-year-old Martinez, also known as Dizzy, was running down the street, recalls Benavidez. Then multiple shots rang out as her husband was struck by police bullets near the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park Avenue. The LAPD said officers opened fire on Martinez because it appeared that he was pointing a weapon at them. But the gun that Martinez was allegedly holding in his hand on March 19 was never found.
This coming Saturday, March 30, Benavidez and her family and friends are planning to hold a noontime press conference and vigil near the scene of the shooting to provide more details about the incident and speak out against the Rampart Division officers.
"I'm still in shock," said Benavidez in a telephone interview today before she went to visit Martinez at County-USC Medical Center, where he was undergoing another round of surgery. "I cannot sleep at night."
The LAPD has so far provided only minimal information about the shooting as it conducts a use-of-force investigation. The Eastsider has contacted the Force Investigation Division to get a response to Benavidez' version of events of the shooting, which was reported at about 12:20 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19.
Martinez had been in jail for a few days on an open-container violation when he was released Monday, March 18 only a few hours before the shooting, Benavidez said. "He got out Monday. He came home and went for tacos," Benavidez said. "We never got the tacos."
After the shots rang out, Benavidez, 41, and her sister-in-law ran in the direction of the gunfire as "bullets flew over our heads," she said. But the officers stopped the women from approaching Martinez, who had been shot on the right side of the head, his left arm and right leg, Benavidez said.
"We could not get anywhere near the crime scene," she said. "We had to wait on the corner of Montana and Echo Park."
Benavidez said her husband has suffered from emotional problems but has denied that he was armed. "It's not fair," she said.

Modeled on successful programs in place in other states, legislation introduced by Rep. Joseph M. McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick, Cranston) calls for creation of a "Back to Work Rhode Island Program" to assist unemployed Rhode Islanders to get jobs and job training.
Like the programs in such states as Georgia and New Hampshire, the Rhode Island program proposed in the legislation seeks to address the concerns of both the unemployed and employers by allowing individuals to continue to collect unemployment benefits while they take part in an approved, unpaid training program with a qualified Rhode Island employer.
The legislation, 2013-H 5033, acknowledges certain facts – that Rhode Island's unemployment rate remains the highest in the New England region; that businesses continue to have difficultly finding job candidates with appropriate knowledge and skills; that employers are hesitant to invest in training if there is a risk the investment will not result in a qualified and skilled employee.
"Employers, especially small businesses, remain uncertain about taking on new employees in the current economy, and it can be difficult for someone who is unemployed to give up benefits for a job that may not pan out, or for an entry level/training position that pays less than a benefit check," said Representative McNamara.
Businesses facing a still weak economy, said McNamara, face real concerns about the time and money it takes to recruit, hire and train employees, who may not work out. "If employers know they can take the time to prepare an individual to do a skilled job without the upfront cost of training that worker, the decision to add to staff may be easier to make," he said.
The "Back to Work Rhode Island Program" proposed in the bill would be overseen by the Department of Labor and Training (DLT). Individuals receiving unemployment compensation would be matched with an employer that has applied to DLT and met certain requirements. The employer would provide the individual (who would continue to receive benefits) with skill enhancement and job training relevant to an open employment position for up to 24 hours per week for up to six weeks, at the end of which the individual must be considered for permanent employment. During the six weeks of training when the individual continues to receive unemployment benefits, the employer would not compensate the individual in any way other than the training.
The bill makes the program voluntary, allowing employers to terminate participation at any time and restricting participation to the first 200 individuals determined eligible by the DLT. It also encouraged individuals seeking work to find employment opportunities that align with their current job skills and knowledge, and encourages them to end a training relationship they do not find beneficial, preserving the remainder of the six-week training period for another placement.
"There are multiple benefits to a program such as this," said McNamara, "not least of which is that statistics show that unemployment compensation claimants who participate in employer-partnered training programs return to work more quickly than those who do not."
"In addition, the program works with no added cost to state government, since those individuals who are collecting while in a job-training setting would be collecting benefits anyway," he said.
"The greatest benefit is that the better this program works, the more unemployed Rhode Islanders find jobs," said Representative McNamara. "Our top focus in this state must be getting people back to work. This program provides another tool to do that, to help people learn new skills and find work, to help businesses grow and take on more employees."
The legislation has been referred to the House Committee on Finance. Co-sponsors include Rep. Jan P. Malik (D-Dist. 67, Barrington, Warren), Rep. Raymond E. Gallison Jr. (D-Dist. 69, Bristol, Portsmouth), Rep. James N. McLaughlin (D-Dist. 57, Central Falls, Cumberland) and Rep. K. Joseph Shekarchi (D-Dist. 23, Warwick).

Update gstreamer 1.0 ports to version 1.2.4.
When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la
exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking.
This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.
So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).
Update gstreamer to 1.2.3.

X related plugins are now stand alone. The gio plugin is now part of the

World Thinking Day 2010: February 22
Each year on February 22, girls participate in activities, games and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries.
The theme for World Thinking Day 2010 is girls worldwide say "together we can end extreme poverty and hunger."
World Thinking Day is part of the WAGGGS Global Action Theme based on the UN Millennium Development Goals, which aim to improve the lives of the world's poorest people.
Girls voted and selected Germany, Kuwait, Peru, the Philippines, and South Africa to represent the five regions of World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) — Europe, the Arab region, Western Hemisphere, Asia/Pacific and Africa. World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships, but it is also a reminder that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

The A and B rolls are made by the negative cutter in a synchronizer or sync block. There must be at least three gangs on the synchronizer. The cut workprint? (with the edge number code) is put in the first gang, and the A roll is started in the second gang, and the B roll started in the third gang. The negative cutter assembles the film, matching the code and length of the workprint with the corresponding original film, which has been left intact after the initial workprint was made. The sync block insures that all three rolls match with accurate to the single frame.
The negative cutter copies the workprint with the original film, alternating from A roll to B roll, with the blank (black) leader filling the space on the B roll when the A roll has picture, and visa versa.
The A and B rolls are both printed on the same roll of print stock. First the A rolls is set up at the "printer start" mark, the lights are turned off in the room, and the A roll and the printer stock are run through the contact printer. In this first pass, the shots on the A roll are exposed on the print stock. The print stock is then re-wound in to the feed magazine, and set up again with the "printer start" mark matched to the printer start on the B roll, and the print stock is exposed again.
Everything depends on the accuracy of the sprocket system to keep the two rolls in their proper orientation. For example, if in the setting up the B roll, the technician made a single frame mistake at the printer start mark, the B roll would overlap the A roll picture one frame at one end of the shot and there would be a single frame of black at the other end.The whole job would have to be done over on new print stock.
<!-- media object --> <div class="media"> <object type="image/svg+xml" data="/vafp/media/svg/VAFPABRoll-540x400.svg" width="540" height="400"> </div>
The split reels holding the A & B rolls are separated by a plastic core which creates space between the reels so that they match the spacing of the sync block gangs.

Our opinion: Congress can't just refuse to to pass an unemployment extender or meaningful jobs legislation and expect the economy, or its ratings, to magically improve.
Here's a spring break activity for a Congress that can't bring itself to help the estimated 4.3 million long-term unemployed Americans: Go and personally explain what the holdup is, to each and every one of them.
That's about 8,000 people for each senator and representative, more than enough to fill the time during a two-week taxpayer-paid vacation.
They could explain, while they're drawing paychecks of $3,346 a week, why they're so reluctant, especially in the Republican-controlled House, to extend unemployment benefits for people who can't find a job in this economy — who, even if this bill passed, would see an average benefit of just $300 a week.
They could explain why, after the Senate Democrats and Republicans met the demand for spending cuts to offset the unemployment extender cost, the House GOP changed the rules and said it now had to come with a new jobs plan, too.
House Speaker John Boehner and his members could also explain how approving the Keystone XL pipeline and scaling back the Affordable Care Act, qualify as a genuine jobs plan. They could explain exactly how insuring fewer Americans makes people more economically secure, and how Keystone XL helps the economy when an independent study at Cornell University determined that the project could actually destroy more jobs than it generates.
We don't disagree that paying out unemployment benefits endlessly is not a viable long-term strategy. But ripping the safety net out from under millions of people is hardly a sound economic policy, attempts by conservatives in Congress to make it sound like one notwithstanding.
To be sure, the House GOP has offered a jobs training bill; the problem is, that's just one facet of what needs to be done. Yet since 2011, when President Barack Obama offered a comprehensive, $447 billion job-creation package, Republicans have done nothing but balk, block and obsess on Obamacare.
So much could be done, especially for those for whom the America dream has gone on hiatus.
The nation could be fixing its roads, bridges and other infrastructure, stimulating the economy and doing work that must be done anyway if the country is to remain a global economic force.
Congress could be working to overhaul the tax code, removing the incentives for U.S. companies to send jobs overseas and stash profits abroad.
It could be rewriting the tax laws to encourage real investment, not just the accumulation of profits by moving money around.
These are not new ideas; the very people now in Congress have been running on such issues for years.
Yet listen to Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., a House deputy whip, on the issue of unemployment benefits, and apparently so much more: "I don't think there is a great sense of pressure on our members."
Perhaps this spring break, Americans will put the pressure on.

A whole lot of bang with no deafening noise to cover it all up. Suicide Squad might not be that DC movie you have been impatiently waiting for, and it is highly probable that we are never going to hit that old Nolan high ever again, but it still manages to rope you in with entertainment galore. What is important that we are joining DCEU pieces together, and trying our level best to build something beautiful in the long run. Aren't we really looking up to it?
Direction of Suicide Squad
The problem with David Ayer's direction is that he doesn't retain focus. The guy wouldn't let you pivot on anything. His direction gallops like a speeding steed, and by the time you are trying to put sense into something he canters around to imminent frames to cloud his shoddy direction, without caring about how spectators feel. That's where he goes wrong. What we need is depth, a gorgeous profundity to hold onto something serious, so that we have something to reflect, and possibly tag along to a frequency that keeps us on our toes to meet those elusive frames. Sadly, Ayer doesn't have that tranquility and he storms like Usain Bolt.
Best Things to Remember
Without wasting any time, let's delve into the good the flick had to offer. The best thing about Suicide Squad is hands down Harley Quinn. A one woman show that swallows everything in its wake of perversion. Margot Robbie does justice to our good ol' Harley successfully creating a stunning persona that is probably the most cherishable character we take from Suicide Squad.
Another powerful one is that of Will Smith's Deadshot. He has some of the best lines and he delivers too. But still I wished he was built as memorable as the animated character in Batman: Gotham Knight. Watch out for that one man army show though with his unmissable headshots.
Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag was a confident affair too. He carries a comportment that will have you believe things were actually serious. Amanda Waller was magnificently built with Viola Davis placing things in perspective. But she melts into immaterialism with a vapid story to back her.
The Jared Leto Joker
David Ayer fails to stun us with a Zack Snyder like theatrics when it comes to depicting fighting sequences, but he still manages to create memorable bits keeping Joker under the wraps. There are cameos of him that are absolutely dazzling, as Jared Leto masters that notorious Joker laugh, thrilling every frame with his occasional presence. There are theatrics entailed, no doubt, but I wished he was given more screen time to create an enchanting scene all for himself. His occasional visits with hooligans in dramatic veils sizzle the screen with pizzazz nevertheless.
Enchantress was gorgeously carved in the beginning. The part where Amanda Waller introduces her will have you mesmerized by her ghastly transition. But then as the movie progresses on its thinly built plot, she loses the charm and dread of enchanting us, and withers away like a dead flower. The worst part is when you see Cara Delevingne actually dancing as she performs her bewitching acts. Terrible!
Another good part was ephemeral Batsy cameos. Wish he had some more unexpected eye-popping bits at odd hours and we would have the whole hall erupting with his occasional presence. The part Zack Snyder shot for Flash was there too and will have you bite your nails for that Justice League movie build up.
Focusing on Other Aspects
Other characters in the movie have not been helmed properly. They fall like dominoes without having a proper focus on their abilities except for Diablo played by Jay Hernandez, who gets to have his proper super-villain moment. Incubus walks in strong with his outrageous annihilation in the beginning, but where it all mattered, he succumbs to one of the easiest victories ever.
I am afraid, the screenplay has nothing much to offer. There were moments inscribed wherein you would be impatiently waiting for a funny one-liner, and then end up realizing it was already advertised in the trailers before. Side stories to the tale were like inevitable bits that didn't have us feeling sorry for the characters. Those were the things that were highly plausible, and don't reek of enough melodrama to sieve things in perspective.
For the better half of Suicide Squad, we have songs that play in the backdrop, that we all have been forever accustomed to. The flick has limited score strewn across that will make you feel how steep the fall really is, coming from Hans Zimmer's gorgeous music in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Spoilers Ahead
Suicide Squad has fabricated bits too. Like that scene when Harley takes the elevator. It seems a deliberate attempt to create just one scene. To be honest, we could have lived without.
Killer Croc and Boomerang get shadowed beyond limit. I can't believe they made Captain Boomerang so forgetful here when in animation he was so superbly sculpted. I can't forget these memorable lines by Harley for him till date.
Anyone who throws boomerangs has some real issues letting go.
Slipknot is literally added just for one scene. Is he that expendable?
To put it out there candidly, you should watch the animation to witness how beautiful comic helming is done. To experience what the original Suicide Squad was capable of doing you must read the comic or watch the Batman: Assault on Arkham version.
Introduction to characters fell far away from the tree as well. It felt sped up as if you were playing some kind of game, and that time was the key factor. With such teensy moments to spare, there was a whole team to cover and it is understandable too. But really we needed some calm there too.
The Final Verdict
It goes without saying, DC has a lot of ground to cover. Whilst Suicide Squad might have come out a dud, it was entertaining nevertheless. In the end, we still wait with dilated eyes to see what DCEU has in store for us in future.

TURLOCK– A Turlock woman has been fired and reported to the Secret Service for her President Barack Obama racial slur and assassination comment on Facebook.
The Modesto Bee (http://bit.ly/TPtRc5) says 22-year-old Denise Helms of Turlock posted the inflammatory comments on the social media site shortly after the president's re-election on Tuesday.
She used the n-word in referring to Obama and wrote that maybe he will be assassinated this term.
Helms then told a Sacramento TV station that she wouldn't mind a bit if someone assassinated Obama.
Helms was fired Thursday from her job at the Cold Stone Creamy store.
Store director Chris Kegle says the comments are disgusting.
Secret Service Agent Scott Gillingham in Sacramento says the incident is being investigated.
Threats against the president can lead to felony charges.

- building automation (1)
- formal reasoning (1)
- reactive systems (1)
- real time (1)
- real-time (1)
- real-time temporal logic (1)
- requirements (1)
The notion of formal description techniques for timed systems (T-FDTs) has been introduced in [EDK98a] to provide a unifying framework for description techniques that are formal and that allow to describe the ongoing behavior of systems. In this paper we show that three well known temporal logics, MTL, MTL-R , and CTL*, can be embedded in this framework. Moreover, we provide evidence that a large number of dioeerent kinds of temporal logics can be considered as T-FDTs.
A large set of criteria to evaluate formal methods for reactive systems is presented. To make this set more comprehensible, it is structured according to a Concept-Model of formal methods. It is made clear that it is necessary to make the catalogue more specific before applying it. Some of the steps needed to do so are explained. As an example the catalogue is applied within the context of the application domain building automation systems to three different formal methods: SDL, statecharts, and a temporallogic.
A non-trivial real-time requirement obeying a pattern that can be foundin various instantiations in the application domain building automation, and which is therefore called generic, is investigated in detail. Starting point is a description of a real-time problem in natural language augmented by a diagram, in a style often found in requirements documents. Step by step, this description is made more precise and finally transformed into a surprisingly concise formal specification, written in real-time temporal logic with customized operators. Wereason why this formal specification precisely captures the original description- as far as this is feasible due to the lack of precision of natural language.
A Tailored Real Time Temporal Logic for Specifying Requirements of Building Automation Systems (1999)
A tailored real time temporal logic for specifying requirements of building automation systems is introduced and analyzed. The logic features several new real time operators, which are chosen with regard to the application area. The new operators improve the conciseness and readability of requirements as compared to a general-purpose real time temporal logic. In addition, some of the operators also enhance the expressiveness of the logic. A number of properties of the new operators are presented and proven.
A generic approach to the formal specification of system requirements is presented. It is based on a pool of requirement patterns, which are related to design patterns well-known in object-oriented software development. The application of such patterns enhances the reusability and genericity as well as the intelligibility of the formal requirement specification. The approach is instantiated by a tailored real-time temporal logic and by selecting building automation systems as application domain. With respect to this domain, the pattern discovery and reuse tasks are explained and illustrated, and a set of typical requirement patterns is presented. Finally, the results of a case study where the approach has been applied are summarized.

While sophisticated bankers and their wealthiest clients continue to take a pass on investments with even the slightest hint of risk, it seems strange that many investment advisers continue to sing the same soothing lullaby to individual investors: "No need to panic, remember, you're investing for the long run. And that is what stocks are for! If you get out now, you will miss the ups as well as the downs."
Now I am certainly not advising you to panic (in fact, I am not advising you at all, because I am a mere finance professor, not a certified investment advisor). But it does seem like a good time to revisit what we know (and don't know) about personal investments and asset allocation, and to try to reassure you that there is no dishonor in prudence. (more…)

GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc. [source]
wget is normally installed as part of the base setup. If not present, install the wget package using pacman. The git version is present in the AUR by the name wget-gitAUR.
Configuration is performed in
/etc/wgetrc. Not only is the default configuration file well documented; altering it is seldom necessary. See the man page for more intricate options.
FTP automation
Normally, SSH is used to securely transfer files among a network. However, FTP is lighter on resources compared to scp and rsyncing over SSH. FTP is not as secure, but when transfering large amounts of data inside a firewall protected environment on CPU-bound systems, using FTP can prove beneficial.
wget ftp://root:email@example.com//ifs/home/test/big/"*.tar" 3,562,035,200 74.4M/s in 47s
In this case, Wget transfered a 3.3 G file at 74.4MB/second rate.
In short, this procedure is:
- scriptable
- faster than ssh
- easily used by languages than can substitute string variables
- globbing capable
Wget uses the standard proxy environment variables. See: Proxy settings
To use the proxy authentication feature:
$ wget --proxy-user "DOMAIN\USER" --proxy-password "PASSWORD" URL
Proxies that use HTML authentication forms are not covered.
pacman integration
To have pacman automatically use Wget and a proxy with authentication, place the Wget command into
/etc/pacman.conf, in the
[options] section:
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --proxy-user "domain\user" --proxy-password="password" --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
chmod 600 /etc/pacman.conf.
This section explains some of the use case scenarios for Wget.
Archive a complete website
Wget can archive a complete website whilst preserving the correct link destinations by changing absolute links to relative links.
$ wget -np -r -k 'http://your-url-here'

Many children's make believe adventures revolve around wooden forts in the mountains; the new Teton County Children's Learning Center by Ward+Blake Architects and D.W. Arthur Associates Architecture has captured this dream in the wilds of Jackson, Wyoming. This children's daycare facility reflects the rustic decor of the Teton region, while achieving LEED Gold certification with an energy-efficient, low-impact design.
Creatively named "The Ranch," the Rafter J Childcare facility was designed by the team of architects to achieve three objectives: to fit into the ranch-like neighborhood, experientially stimulate the children, and to achieve LEED Silver certification. Boston-based D.W. Arthur Associates Architecture was brought into the project by local firm Ward+Blake Architects to bring some expertise in childcare design to the table. It's fitting that D.W. Arthur's mission is to educate children through experiencing their spatial environment.
The exterior of the building celebrates the regional vernacular ranch style of the local neighborhood, and it incorporates many natural materials in its skin. Made from rammed earth, cedar wood, weathered wood, glass and steel, this 12,000-square-foot facility rises and falls almost as if mimicking the surrounding mountains. Beaver slide-like enclosures and other slatted fences help to break up the exterior of the building, while creating shading devices for the building. Various shed roofs allow for natural light to penetrate deep into the building through angled clerestory windows. Also, many of these shed roofs are covered with sod in order to control storm water runoff.
As the children enter the building they are met with a "family-room" concept corridor where gently curving walls help to create interactive spaces that lead to private rooms. The interior classroom spaces are designed with stained concrete, bright colored walls, and floating cloud-like ceiling tiles that help to capture the children's imagination.
Other sustainable features include an onsite geothermal system that provides for 50 percent or more of the building's energy. A computerized system also helps to control the natural and artificial light throughout the building. These along with other building components helped to make this project achieve a LEED Gold rating in the end. This really is a learning center that inspires imagination.

Big plays made a big difference Friday night.
WAYNESBORO — Big plays made a big difference Friday night.
And the difference was on the side of the Shippensburg Greyhounds, who broke open the game by scoring the final 24 points en route to a 39-6 Mid-Penn Colonial Division victory against the Waynesboro Indians.
For the second straight game, Waynesboro (0-6, 0-3 MPC) fell behind but scored to keep things close. But as happened last week against Gettysburg — who scored 49 unanswered points on its way to a 56-7 victory — Shippensburg (4-2, 3-0 MPC) remained tied with Gettysburg for first place in the division after leading 14-6 in the second quarter.
"I feel good about our effort," said Waynesboro coach Scott Shacreaw, who is trying to remain upbeat following another loss. "They come out to play every week. We work hard.
"We just get ourselves out of position. We arm tackle instead of squaring up and they break it for 30 or 40 yards. We're not quick enough to chase anybody down either."
A prime example of both analyses was Dylan Herb's 80-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Herb managed to squeeze his way through a hole in the line of scrimmage and basically ran nearly the entire length of the field untouched, outrunning the Indians defense along the way.
Undeterred, Waynesboro took the ensuing kickoff and drove 74 yards in seven plays, capped by a 2-yard TD plunge by quarterback Nathan Toney. The score was set up 62-yard catch and run from Toney to Matt Peck, who was tackled at the Shippensburg 2.
Then, Justin Croteau bounced an onside kick that was recovered by Todd Riddell at the Greyhound 48. Waynesboro was unable to cash in on the good field position and turned the ball over on downs.
Shippensburg was more than happy to oblige, driving 61 yards in six plays for a touchdown and a 21-6 lead after Seth Frey's third extra-point conversion. Frey, also the starting quarterback, found Chris Williams open between two Waynesboro defenders and, instead of tucking the ball and scrambling, launched a pass just before reaching the line of scrimmage. Williams jumped high for the catch and landed in the end zone.
The Greyhounds got the ball back on an interception by Bradley Cleary, who returned it 30 yards to the Waynesboro 10 with 1.6 seconds to play in the first half. Frey made a 27-yard field goal to give Shippensburg a 24-6 half-time lead.
"We gotta start making plays," Shacreaw said. "We're still struggling to find our identity on offense. One minute we look good from the I-formation and the next minute we're missing blocks. Same thing with the spread."
For the second week in a row, the Indians gave up a whole bunch of rushing yards. The Greyhounds finished with 300 yards on the ground, including 113 from William Burt. Burt scored three touchdowns, including a 45-yarder with 4:32 left in the game. Of course, a good chunk of that yardage came on two plays — Herb's 80-yard scamper and Burt's 45-yard run.
Waynesboro's Brett Mohn was the team's leading rusher with 48 yards on 18 carries. Brady Beckner came on late to pick up 34 yards on just three carries.
Alex Cline intercepted a Frey pass — the QB's 10th pick this season. Bradley Lark helped make the play possible, pressuring Frey into making an ill-advised throw.
NOTES: Many players wore pink socks and many in the stadium were wearing pink ribbon T-shirts in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. . . . Proceeds from last night's 50/50 drawing will be donated to Breast Cancer Awareness of the Cumberland Valley Inc. . . Ben Gsell caught a pair of passes for 15 yards. . . Matt Petrie returned four kickoffs for 86 yards. . . Jake Wertz and Kenny Baker each had six total tackles, with Wertz collecting a team-high five solo tackles. . . Mike Kassman and Croteau each had five total tackles. . . Waynesboro next plays at Northern on Oct. 11 with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A city councilman has announced a public memorial for the late Huell Howser for fans to honor the PBS host.
Tom LaBonge told KCBS-TV Wednesday that (http://cbsloc.al/ViBGIs) the gathering will be held at the Griffith Observatory on Tuesday Jan. 15 at 3:30 p.m.
Howser hosted PBS's "California's Gold" for 19 years along with other shows before he died of natural causes at his Palm Springs home Sunday night.
LaBonge, who was sworn into office by longtime friend Howser, says it's appropriate to say goodbye to the beloved television personality at the Griffith Park landmark, since he had so much enthusiasm for California's historical places.
Howser retired abruptly from broadcasting last year.

We all know that feeling. You read about an awesome app on Windows Phone Central and go to download only to see the Windows Phone Store throw up some error right in your face. You want to rage and throw your phone at a wall, but you don't. And sometimes it's not an app you want, but a new song or album and well you know where we're going with this. Yup, Xbox Music isn't working for some folks. Details after the break.
A little bit ago one of you tipped us about the Store giving out our favorite error – c101b000. On the team here I was the only one seeing it, but as of now the Store seems to be working for both the reader and myself. But Xbox Music is acting a fool. We tried streaming some music on our devices, but we're getting error code 803a00c0. Lame.
Right now, over at the Xbox site, the status for Xbox Music and Video has a big orange exclamation mark. What that means is some users may experience difficulties with the following services:
You might be unable to browse, stream, download, or buy things at the Xbox Music and Video Store (also known as "Zune Marketplace")
The issue is affecting the following Live platforms: Windows 8, Windows Phone, Xbox 360 Console, Xbox.com, and the Zune PC client. A messaged dated at 2:01 PM PDT states:
"Hi friends! We're aware some of you are experiencing issues purchasing things on the Xbox Music and Video Marketplace. Thanks for your patience while we work to find a solution! Check back here in 30 minutes for an updated message."
Be sure to let us know if you're having errors either downloading apps in the Store or with Xbox Music. List your device, region/market, and what services you're having issues with.
Thanks everybody for sending this in.

Below is a scanned copy of an official document, Circular No. 60 / b / M, issued by the Office of the Egyptian Interior Minister Habib al-Adli. The document bears the emblem of the Egyptian Interior Ministry; a handwritten note is written on the top-left of page 1, it reads "send by fax to the centers – highly secret". The document could have been captured from a ransacked government office, or from a hooligan captured on the streets. It has in the meantime been widely spread in Arabic media.
The document landed today morning in my inbox. It was sent to me by an Egyptian source, it reveals that the Egyptian Interior Ministry has implemented a plan to create chaos and looting, violence and terror in response to the angry demonstrations since last Friday, and the days after, which seek the end of the Mubarak regime, (and now also seek the execution of Mubarak after he refused to leave his position in peace and his regime perpetrated bloody crimes and massacres against the opposition demos). The document shows part of a plan which targets the nation, attempts to instill fear in the demonstrators and force them to end their demos.
The document was issued by the Office of the Egyptian Interior Minister and states that the plan detailed is based on the deployment of criminal elements in the middle of demonstrators, to foment chaos in conjunction with the deliberate withdrawal of the police and security forces from the streets of all cities.
The document reveals that among the activities of the plan is the intensive spreading of rumors through the Egyptian media (official TV, radio, news), like the use of screaming and wailing of female elements of the security forces, showing them asking for help because of looting and the decline of security.
The document also shows as part of the plan the cutting off of Internet connections and communications, the insinuation in the official media that the Police and the security forces are incapable of protecting the people during the protests, the insinuation that the people should protect themselves through the formation of popular committees to maintain security in the absence of bodies in charge of security.
What this document contains, if it is true, shows the shocking depravity of a regime determined to keep their hold on power by any means. It shows in full the disdain of the Mubarak regime for the Egyptian people, not unlike the attitude of the PA towards the Palestinian people, it shows the inner workings of a regime kept afloat by the western regimes for over 30 years who knew full well and approved of the thuggery of Mubarak against his people. As a side note, according to sources, solidarity demonstrations in the West Bank were ended violently and the organizers arrested by the Palestinian Authority.
This document could be a hint to cooperation of the Mubarak regime with israeli and/or American elements such as Frank Wisner. The presence of Wisner in Egypt is a very bad sign in any case, as he hails from a family of zionist jews with a long history of involvement in terrorism and other atrocities around the world. He is certainly no friend of the Egyptian people. The tactics detailed in the document resemble some of the dirty tricks used by the occupation against Palestinians.
I have added below a summary translation of the document from Arabic. If you have a better translation, please send it.
Text of the document:
Ministry of the Interior:
Minister's Office
Circular No. 60 / B / M
Secret and very important (written by hand)

8 – Firing rubber bullets and tear gas but without using live bullets, which are only allowed by alarm and only if absolutely necessary.
9 – Show partial disability from 4 PM on Friday, which shows that the police force is unable to guarantee security, and show the superiority of the demonstrators, while allowing the infiltration of elements of item 2 (thugs and criminals) to cause limited chaos during the demonstrations and according to the plan agreed with them before that.
10 – A full withdrawal of police, the central security forces, the traffic police and reassigning them to guard and protect government sites and institutions … wearing civilian clothes; and to be present on side roads and "around trees" and to engagement between the lines of the organizers of the demonstrations and in the parking lots without interfering in any negative phenomena and without revealing their identities or interfering in the street movements until they receive orders to do so …
11 – Emptying the police stations of weapons, ammunition and prisoners and transferring all to the central prison and place them under heavy guard; sending specials forces, private security elements, collaborators and secret service elements to jail instead of them. (Comment: so that they will be freed instead of the original prisoners).
12 – Broadcasting rumors through all media about acts of looting and theft; this will be accomplished by placing by our female elements at different locations, near the foreign media, who will cry and tell about strong panic. The rumors spread will be according to the plan of spreading rumors attached to you.
13 – Broadcast direct messages through individuals or indirect messages distributed through leaflets to the foreign media located near the events about of acts of looting and breaking into banks, shops and police stations to coincide with the deployment of the bully plan mentioned in item 2, in order to spread the impression a state of general panic and terror in the streets and to show that there is civil and popular demand for the presence of police, military, public security organs in these locations.
14 – Issuing direct and indirect hints through national and foreign media about the formation of committees to protect the popular neighborhoods in order to cause members of the demonstrations to go away or to their sites without the need of imposition of any force by the army on them.
15 – Spreading false rumors and false information through all means, through foreign media stations only, and then correcting that information through local media stations, in order to gain the confidence of the public and divert the attention from these stations and so discredit them in all incoming calls to the local media stations.
16 – Broadcasting strong rumors through the national and foreign media about the existence of chaos and the escape of prisoners and stating a fake big number of the prisoners who escaped, specially of dangerous prisoners, and claiming that those dangerous prisoners have been seen within residential areas.

Mets rack up 17 hits, fall in Colorado slugfest
DENVER -- Some losses are more bitter, frustrating and cruel than others. This one was all of that and more for the Mets, who were on the verge of a hugely satisfying victory only to suffer a heartbreaking defeat.
They squandered a big early lead, twice fought back to tie the game and went ahead in the ninth. But ultimately, the Mets lost, 11-10, when Rockies pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson hit a two-run homer off closer Kyle Farnsworth.View Full Game Coverage
DENVER -- Some losses are more bitter, frustrating and cruel than others. This one was all of that and more for the Mets, who were on the verge of a hugely satisfying victory only to suffer a heartbreaking defeat.
They squandered a big early lead, twice fought back to tie the game and went ahead in the ninth. But ultimately, the Mets lost, 11-10, when Rockies pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson hit a two-run homer off closer Kyle Farnsworth.View Full Game Coverage
Culberson came to the plate batting .111 (3-for-27), since being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on April 21. He fell into a 1-2 hole and then drove a fastball over the wall in center field. When Culberson, who had hit two homers in 148 Major League at-bats, connected, Farnsworth knew that a ball soaring through the light air at Coors Field could spell trouble.
"Every fly ball here is like that," Farnsworth said. "You just got to hold your breath, hope it stays in."
It didn't, and the Rockies, who overcame a six-run deficit with an eight-run fifth, capped by Nolan Arenado's grand slam, and who then lost leads of 8-6 and 9-8, erupted from their dugout in joy to meet the giddy Culberson at home plate.
"I don't hit many home runs, but for some reason right there, I hit it and I just knew it had to go out," Culberson said. "That's definitely the best feeling I've ever had in baseball."
Culberson's blast drove in Troy Tulowitzki, who had led off the inning with a single, his third hit of the game and No. 1,001 in his career. Tulowitzki tagged up and took second on Arenado's fly to deep center.
The Mets recorded a season-high 17 hits and had taken a 10-9 lead in the ninth on a two-out single by Juan Lagares, who had gone hitless in five previous at-bats with three strikeouts but extended his hitting streak to 12 games. He connected off closer LaTroy Hawkins, who took the mound with one out in the ninth and gave up a pinch-hit double to Bobby Abreu on a liner through the gap in left-center. Eric Young Jr. pinch-ran for Abreu and took third on a groundout.
The Mets tied the game at 9 on Chris Young's single with one out in the eighth. Jordan Pacheco put the Rockies ahead 9-8 in the seventh with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly.
The Mets, who scored seven runs while losing the first two games of this series, scored three runs in the first and three more in the third off starter Franklin Morales. David Wright, who went 3-for-5, doubled home a run in the first and Anthony Recker and Lucas Duda hit consecutive run-scoring singles with two out.
In the third, Curtis Granderson singled home a run, Recker followed with a run-scoring double, and with two out, the Mets scored an unearned run when third baseman Arenado made an error on Ruben Tejada's grounder.
Jenrry Mejia held the Rockies to three singles through four innings before they sent 11 batters to the plate and piled up eight runs in the fifth. Ryan Wheeler, who was recalled Friday and started in place of first baseman Justin Morneau, led off with a home run. Mejia gave up a single and a walk before pinch-hitter Brandon Barnes hit a slow grounder to shortstop and avoided a double play when first baseman Duda didn't handle the throw.
Charlie Blackmon flared a broken-bat single to short center to make it 6-2 and put runners on first and third for Drew Stubbs, who singled home a run. Carlos Gonzalez grounded a run-scoring single into right field. Mejia hit Tulowitzki with a pitch to load the bases for Arenado, who hit his second career grand slam and the Rockies' first of the season while extending his hitting streak to 23 games to tie Dante Bichette for the second-longest hitting streak in Rockies history.
"Once in a while they hit them where nobody is playing," Collins said about Mejia's outing. "I mean, he made good pitches. We got a double play. We should have been out of the inning. We drop a ball, and we couldn't get them out after that. It wasn't Jenrry's fault all the time. But the results are what they are."
That grand slam came on Mejia's 66th and last pitch and was the first grand slam he has surrendered in his career. He lasted 4 1/3 innings in his shortest start of the season.
"That's unbelievable. There's nothing I can do," Mejia said. "I think they hit good pitches. I changed my pitch sequence in the fifth inning. I started throwing two-seamers and changeups. And then in the fifth inning I threw my breaking ball. Everything was down. ... They got me. That's why I say, it's unbelievable."
The Mets will try to salvage a win Sunday and avoid being swept in the four-game series after this painful loss.
"It's tough, but I don't think it should be tough for us to bounce back tomorrow," Recker said. "We did a heck of a job today. You got to take the positives out of it, coming back. Team scored eight runs on you in an inning after you're up 6-0, that is tough to come back from but we did it two or three times. Honestly, we just ran out of innings tonight. I think we'll come out tomorrow and we'll get a win."
