"Daniel Cook was executed at 11:03 a.m. Today's execution illustrates, for those who oppose or question capital punishment, that it is appropriate in some cases. The following facts come from the trial record:
Cook and a roommate stole money from Cruz Ramos, a third roommate. Ramos noticed money missing, and asked Cook and the other roommate whether they knew anything about it. The two then lured Ramos into Cook's upstairs bedroom. They pushed Ramos down on the bed and, using strips torn from Cook's sheets, gagged him and tied him to a chair.
Over the course of the next six or seven hours, Ramos was cut with a knife, beaten with fists, a metal pipe and a wooden stick, burned with cigarettes, including in the genitalia, sodomized, and had part of his genitalia stapled to a chair. At one point Matzke, the other roommate, asked why Ramos had to be tortured, and Cook responded, "I'm having fun." Matzke, suggested that they kill Ramos because they could not let him go. Cook replied that Ramos should be killed at midnight, "the witching hour." When midnight arrived, Matzke first tried to strangle Ramos with a sheet. This did not succeed in killing Ramos. Matzke then took Ramos out of the chair, put him on the floor, and pushed down on his throat with a metal pipe. According to Matzke, because Ramos still would not die, Cook pressed down on one end of the pipe while Matzke pressed on the other. Finally, Matzke stood on the pipe as it lay across Ramos' throat and killed him.
The second victim was Kevin Swaney, a 16 year old guest at the apartment. Cook told Swaney to undress, Swaney complied. Cook and Matzke then gagged him and tied him to a chair in the kitchen. Matzke said he told Cook that he would not witness or participate in Swaney's torture. Matzke then went into the living room and fell asleep in a chair.
Cook later woke Matzke, who said he saw Swaney bound and gagged, sitting on the couch, crying. Cook told Matzke he had sodomized Swaney and that they had to kill him. Matzke said they tried to strangle Swaney with a sheet, but Matzke's end kept slipping out of his hands. Cook then reportedly stated "this one's mine," placed Swaney on the floor, and strangled him."

Asian currencies had their steepest weekly loss in nine months after the US Federal Reserve increased its interest-rate forecast for next year and China doubled the yuan's trading band.
The Fed, while indicating this week that the target rate would stay at zero to 0.25 percent this year, said it may reach 1 percent by the end of next year, higher than 0.75 percent predicted previously.
The yuan completed a record five-day drop, as China's central bank cut the daily reference rate to the lowest since November, almost a week after it increased the maximum limit the currency can diverge from the fixing to 2 percent.
"The US rate outlook doesn't look good for emerging-market currencies, including regional currencies," said Saktiandi Supaat, Singapore-based head of forex research at Malayan Banking Bhd. "With the yuan band widening, the Chinese are trying to remove one-way appreciation bets to create flexibility in the currency."
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index, which tracks the region's 10 most-active currencies, slid 0.7 percent from March 14 to 114.51 in Singapore, the biggest drop since June. The yuan fell 1.2 percent to 6.2250 per US dollar in Shanghai and reached 6.2370 on Friday, its lowest since February last year, China Foreign Exchange Trade System prices showed.
In Taipei, the New Taiwan dollar fell 0.88 percent to close at NT$30.652 against the US dollar this week, the lowest level in more than two years. Dealers said the local currency seemed to have entered a bear market and further decline is possible.
The NT dollar ranked the third weakest among Asian currencies this year, Bloomberg statistics showed. Since the start of the year, it has depreciated 2.29 percent against the US dollar, coming only behind the South Korean won's 2.83 percent decline and the Chinese yuan's 2.71 percent drop, the statistics showed.
The Philippine peso sank 1.5 percent to 45.31 per US dollar this week, while Malaysia's ringgit fell 0.9 percent to 3.3085 and Indonesia's rupiah lost 0.6 percent to 11,423. South Korea's won weakened 0.7 percent to 1,080.4 and Thailand's baht dropped 0.3 percent to 32.381. India's rupee climbed 0.4 percent to 60.9250.
The US dollar also strengthened against the euro, snapping six weeks of declines against the euro-area currency, the longest losing streak in more than six years.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose for the first week this month after the Fed shifted to more qualitative guidance and policymakers increased forecasts for borrowing-cost levels. The ruble fell for a fifth week as the US and the EU imposed sanctions on Russia in the standoff over Ukraine's Crimea region.
The US dollar gained 0.9 percent to US$1.3794 per euro this week in New York, strengthening from a more than two-year low of US$1.3967 it reached on March 13. The euro gained for the previous six weeks, the longest stretch since July 2007. The US currency rose 0.9 percent to ¥102.25. Europe's shared currency was little changed at ¥141.04.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the US currency versus 10 major counterparts, gained 0.6 percent to 1,019.26, its first weekly increase since Feb. 21 and its biggest since Jan. 17.
The pound had its biggest weekly drop in four months versus the US dollar as the Fed and the Bank of England gave divergent signals on the future path of interest rates, boosting the relative allure of the greenback.

Please add Qtparted to Puppy
I'd really like this added (replace other existing applications).
It's a great application that can do pretty much everything cfdisk and parted can do. And it fully supports NTFS, which will come in handy for all those moving away from the Windows OSs.

I've created a QTParted PupGet package.
It works in Puppy2, the next snapshot, which has ntfsprogs required to resize
ntfs partitions.
I'm a bit hesitant about releasing it though... it's a bit unstable. Not as fully featured as Gparted either -- what stopped me from using Gparted is the
dependencies -- gtkmm, probably more.
Has anyone used QTParted, got an opinion?
I'm using version 0.4.5.
Incidentally, it was very difficult to compile. Buggy make script -- made me think this was a hint how it is going to be once I got it going.
I had to install 'unsermake' to compile it, which needs Python --- argh! ---
fortunately keenerd came to the rescue with his python .pup.

QTparted was known to be buggy in the past in resizing partitions, I once got overlapping ones, so all content was lost (maybe less than a year ago using knoppix).
People should (just imho) ONLY use it to resize ntfs, if they have a typical Windows-OEM-PC (1 ntfs-partition, nothing else).
But not to resize/alter any other partitions.
To be fair:
I had used other tools in the past like Mandrakes (9.x) grafical Diskdruid, so maybe my problems were caused by this.
Since then I only use parted, which is available as a Dotpup, but cannot resize ntfs.

the command line parted should be able to everything that qtparted can do, and probably more ... the latest version is 188.8.131.52 ... i have a parted 1.6.19 dotpup package on my dotpups page (i have not tested it, but it has been downloaded a number of times, and no one has complained, yet)
there's a bootable cd that runs a gui for parted ... the iso is only 3 or 4 megs ... http://partitionlogic.org.uk/ ... there's also a floppy version
" Partition Logic is a free hard disk partitioning and data management tool. It can create, delete, format, defragment, resize, and move partitions and modify their attributes. It can copy entire hard disks from one to another. ... Partition Logic is intended to become a free alternative to such commercial programs as Partition Magic, Drive Image, and Norton Ghost."

Has anyone used QTParted, got an opinion?
I used QTParted from Knoppix regularly when I was a Linux newbie trying distributions and adding and moving partitions around.
Later I found that parted was even better as sometimes QTParted had somethings grayed out that should have been enabled. I always found that QTParted erred on the safety side. I never allowed doing something I shouldn't do. It never corrupted my partition table or HDD.
Bottom line: I think that new users prefer a GUI, QTParted is quite intuitive and the bugs are mere anoyances. On the other hand I think that any experienced user would use parted instead.

The big problem is that parted does not do ntfs, and the ntfsresize utility is
(so I have read) rather complicated to use directly.
A complication is that QTParted does not seem to use all the functionality of
parted, for example cannot resize FAT partitions. But QTParted can resize
ntfs partitions by using ntfsresize.
(edit: of maybe it can resize FAT partitions: the website says it can't, but the
page was last update in 2003 whereas the last release was dated 2004 -- it seems the project was dead but the Ark Linux people did the 2004 release, but the
website hasn't been updated)
The next snapshot of puppy2 will have ntfsresize, ntfsmount and mkntfs, and
the libparted.so from parted package -- maybe should throw in the parted
executables also?
QTParted is huge (580K) ...really, someone, using one of our gui-capable languages
could knock up a nice app just like QTParted but a fraction of the size...
we've will have all the commandline tools:
parted, e2fsprogs, ntfsprogs, fdisk, cfdisk, disktype
...the only thing missing is reiserfsprogs.

I think it would be great if someone would manage to produce a nice application just like QTParted which would be a fraction of its size. I think a GUI will help a lot of new members (like myself) install and maybe even fully convert to Puppy.
I've never tried it, but how does http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php compare to QTParted?

I've never used QTparted, however I do use gparted. I like it, quite intuitive and it has never bitten me. Being an iso and therefore standalone helps. You are not messing about with a working system. My previous gui partitioning program was PartitionMagic and gparted compares well.
Partitioning is definitely a project where I like the gui approach - 'a picture is worth a thousand words (or numbers)'.

Yes, I've been using GParted regularly over last week or so, it sure is nice.
It's in the latest Puppy2 snapshot, 24 may, just uploaded.
It was in the previous snapshot also, but had some files missing then.

It's a holiday leftover many of us carry around for months. It's not Aunt Edna's fruitcake or even those few extra pounds amassed from all the holiday treats. It's the excess debt that comes from spending more than you can afford during the holiday season. Unfortunately, for many Americans, a few festive days of the year can result in mounds of depressing debt that can take months to shed.

The Outercurve Foundation has announced the acceptance of the .NET Bio project into the "research accelerators" gallery, which it oversees as a not-for-profit open source foundational body. The platform-, technology- and license-agnostic organization has brought the language-neutral reusable .NET library and API under its auspices on the basis of it helping to support the development of applications for bioinformatics research.
This open source project, which reportedly has the support of bioinformatics researchers from a number of educational institutions, was contributed by Microsoft, the foundation's primary sponsor. As the fourth project to join the research accelerators gallery, .NET Bio contributors will (if accepted into the fold) be able to increase the project's focus on improving community development practices to broaden its capabilities and usefulness to the life sciences community.
"The .NET Bio project shows the power of community and collaboration in the scientific and research communities," said Paula Hunter, executive director, Outercurve Foundation. "The contribution of such a significant and far-reaching project will help researchers expand participation in planned development engagements within the USA, Brazil, Colombia, and Australia. From this point, .NET Bio will enable researchers to share data and development methodologies to support a range of life sciences research projects."
.NET Bio, formerly known as the Microsoft Biology Foundation, is a bioinformatics toolkit that includes a library of commonly used bioinformatics functions. The .NET Bio project's V1 release enables different data sets to communicate, while its tools are aligned to reduce processing time and enable scientists to focus on research.
"As part of the Outercurve Foundation, .NET Bio project committers will have the resources and community participation to support more complex and very large plant genomes by working with universities and consortia around the world,' said Tony Hey, Outercurve Board member and corporate VP of Microsoft research connections. The project brings a strong history of consistent and dedicated community management to the Outercurve Foundation.'
The Outercurve Foundation has three galleries and 17 projects. Galleries include the ASP.NET open source gallery, the research accelerators gallery, and the data, language, and system interoperability (DLSI) gallery.

Perhaps you ought to pick a less ambiguous word. How about 'FAIR PLAY'

Washers, Inc. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 158 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
****FINAL UPDATE BEFORE END**** I really feel terrible that I have not been able to provide the feedback that I was able to at the beginning of the contest. I'm going to provide some final hints to developers....
1. Graphical elements - Must make us say "Wow..." We need the design to be attractive. Incorporate the graphics, don't just place them.
2. Make it functional. Think as if you were our customer. We don't need all the text on the front page, subpages will provide details... tease me...
3. Professional but still Web 2.0ish... Icons are great, I really like the small ones, but they may not be necessary. Maybe as a rollover or next to text items...
4. Don't waste space, but don't crowd. Too much white space can be bad, but I don't want to feel overwhelmed.
There are some AMAZING designs on here and we are really struggling with this decision. It will take us some time to decide. There is STILL TIME LEFT!! WE HAVE NOT PICKED A WINNER!!
Good luck!!!

On the main page, I need an area for news, a link for our services, an introduction section, etc.
We had such great success here with our logo that we are looking to complete our design for our web page as well. We are a small industrial cage and rack washer company that services large pharmaceutical research facilities and hospitals. We work on very expensive, high-end machinery. We maintain, repair, and inspect the machinery and train the facility personnel on operations and maintenance.
READ OUR BRIEF! THERE ARE MANY DETAILS!! Let us know if you need more!
Washers, Inc.
After a wonderful experience having our logo designed on 99designs.com, we've come back to have our website layout completed by the amazing and talented artists on this site. We are very excited and very serious about selecting our layout from 99designs.com! So much so that we've opted to guarantee our contest! Everyone at this site understands that only one person will win the contest, but our pledge to you is that if you take the time to design a mock-up, we will provide feedback. Our goal is to provide 100% feedback on our contest. We will be involved and provide detailed feedback to ALL designers!
We are a small industrial cage and rack washing machine repair company that services high-end machines for pharmaceutical research facilities and hospitals. While we are a small business, we need a professional website that will serve as the first impression for many potential clients.
To get an idea of our industry, please visit the following manufacturers:
One thing that I will admit off the bat is that we know NOTHING of web design and the intricacies of design. We're relying on the experts to provide the beautiful designs that we see in the contests on 99designs.com!
The prize of $1200 is for the graphic design. We have specific requirements for the slicing and production of the website that may be beyond the range of many of the graphic designers here. A winning designer that has the skills required to take the .psd to a full operating site (to our specifications) will receive an additional $500!! (You will be required to show proof of talent in the form of completed sites)
Please read the following (it's long) and let us know if you need additional details!! We stay involved and will provide feedback and guidance for all designs!
Here are the requirements:
- We have attatched our logo in .eps format. While the colors of our logo are set, please feel free to use complimentary colors and your artistic license to create a creative and original design.
- http://www.washersinc.com/99Designs…o_CMYK.eps
- http://www.washersinc.com/99Designs…go_PMS.eps
- We have uploaded some images to give you something to work with in terms of design elements. We're still looking for more, but this will at least give you a start! http://www.washersinc.com/99Designs…Photos.zip
- Click here for a document with some guidance on the subpages, which may help you design the homepage!Menu Bar - Horizontal

IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE DESIGN, PLEASE LEAVE US A MESSAGE OR PM US! We will provide guidance throughout the competition. If there are suggestions on how to better design the site, please let us know!! Oh, and I've contacted 99designs.com and I intend to make this a guaranteed contest!
- 1024 by 768
- A main area for an introduction for our company, an area for recent news, an area that describes our services to link to other pages. We're open to suggestions for other items on the homepage, so please experiment!
- Use the colors from our logo, but also experiment with complimentary colors. We deal with water, so blues and greys are great.
- Web 2.0 style, but with a professional feel.
- Utilize icons in the design (Main Text Area). I use and like the look of Mac style software. Design me a site with a Mac influence.
- Utilize stock icons, pictures, etc. Ideas include anything medical research related (microscope, DNA, lab coat, white rats, etc), wrenches, water, blueprints, electrical diagrams, etc.
- Designs that remind me of 1999. Stay away from all text. I understand we don't have any pictures, but boring designs will not win.
- Confusing designs.

As a Southern Californian spending much of the summer in the Bay Area (to run a conference), I've quickly caught a case of Tesla fever.
And I'm not the only one.
The initial public offering of Tesla Motors, the electric car company based in the Silicon Valley, has been widely popular. This has occasioned much happy talk about the revival of California manufacturing, renewed U.S. leadership in automaking, and environmental progress that could move us off of the oil now fouling the Gulf of Mexico.
U.S. & World
All the hype has prompted all kinds of skepticism, and quite rightly. As this analyst's report from Morningstar points out, it's far from clear that Tesla will ever make a profit. The company should struggle to transform itself from a maker of novelty cars for rich people and celebrities into a maker of an affordable mass-market cars.
But even if Tesla proves to be little more than a hype machine, its popular IPO is good news for California for a reason unrelated to the potential of electric cars: it could be a boon to California's venture capital community.
This state, for all its economic problems, still leads the rest of the country, by far, in venture capital investment. But the industry has been IN a slump, precisely because there have been so few IPOs, and even fewer successful IPOs. Initial public offerings of stock are how venture capitalists, who put in money early in a company's development, get their money back and, they hope, make a profit.
If Tesla boosts the IPO game, California would benefit, no matter what happens to Tesla.

On average, the City's Water Quality Laboratory receives about 300 drinking water quality complaints each year. Our staff has been very diligent and successful in meeting the City's goal of quickly addressing concerns through not only a comprehensive testing program but also by either initiating or suggesting remedial action for complaint resolution.

Who should I call if my tree needs pruning?
Contact 311 to report a tree that needs pruning. Trees, unlike shrubs, only need to be pruned every five to seven years. Topping is very unhealthy for a tree. Pruning of city trees is usually done in order to elevate it high enough so that people can walk on the sidewalk. It is elevated so that trucks will not damage them. We also prune away from lights and stop signs. It's a benefit to the homeowner when trees grow over their house because it will contribute to lower utility bills.

Who maintains the City's street trees?
Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks' Forestry Division maintains the city's street trees with four in-house crews and nine contract crews. There are approximately 200,000 street trees in Baltimore City. Regular maintenance includes pruning, watering, mulching and removal when a tree is dead. Citizens can assist with this effort by watering and mulching the trees in front of their houses. This will enable the Forestry Division to focus more on trees in the medians and commercial areas of the city.
City agencyRecreation and Parks
What can we do about a sidewalk that's uplifted by a tree?
Contact 311 and request that the Footways Division come out and repair the sidewalk. We will NOT remove a tree because it conflicts with a sidewalk. The city of Baltimore has invested much time and energy into allowing a tree to grow to full maturity. Large trees provide many benefits to the citizens of Baltimore. Some examples of these benefits are absorbing storm water, cleaning the air of pollutants, shading the streets, providing a buffer to cars, increasing real estate values and lowering utility bills. There are many new approaches to incorporating large trees with pedestrian walkways and they still provide a safe experience.

TeamBuy, WagJag, BuyWithMe, LivingSocial, and Groupon are among the most common names within the newest marketing phenomenon known as team buying. No, this doesn't mean that your recreational softball team is going to pitch in to buy team sweaters. Although somewhat similar, team buying refers to a group of people coming together to buy items at a discounted price. Hoarders around the world will preach that buying in bulk is always cheaper which is the fundamental concept of these companies. Except, the items (or services and experiences) being purchased are in singles quantities by complete strangers- ONLINE! Considering that everyone and their grandmothers are looking for the cheapest price on anything they buy and these consumers are also become overly confident with purchasing online, team buying sites seem like a win-win solution. Retailers are increasing their foot traffic and consumers are saving a buck. From a marketing view, this is a complete nightmare.
Bringing Back the Basics
All good marketing textbooks explain the idea of customer relationship management (CRM), where marketers try to build relationships with their customers to ensure loyalty, repeat visits and protection of future business. Team buying websites have completely neglected the idea of CRM and put their entire focus on creating transactional customers. Furthermore, team buying sites have enabled mom-and-pop stores to get their name out there, while increasing foot traffic. But happens when giants like McDonalds enter the fray? Are consumers going to buy the deal for the local burger joint or hold off for the Golden Arches?
Gap and GroupOn
As an example let's look at Gap. They participated in a Groupon promotion during summer 2010 and generated over $11 M in sales in one day by giving $25 off of $50 of clothing. Those are amazing results for a single day (and losses considering they would need to fork over $11 M to cover that promotion). In the long run, consumers will come in and spend more than $50 giving Gap even greater profits and increase their foot traffic. Except, Gap alienated their regulars and gave random customers a deal and their best got nothing. And the customers that purchased the deal will most likely use their coupon and never return as they are just following the deal. Was this a good business move or bad? Only their sales will tell. Least we know it wasn't as bad as their new logo launch.
Although, the current model of buying sites may not be as attractive as they seem there are platforms emerging that may be a better solution. LevelUp and SocialSelect are combining the check-in, the game and the reward all in one. The difference between them and the daily deal is that they encourage individuals to engage with their brands and provides them with an incentive to return. LevelUp is built on both mobile and web interface and can be used in real-time, which incorporates location! The concept is based on levels, once the player passes level 1 they automatically move on to level 2 and so on. For a restaurant, level 1 can be a breakfast deal, level 2 could be lunch and level 3 could be dinner. Furthermore, you can purchase the deal and use it immediately by showing the barcode.
SocialSelect provides their best customers during a visit with a deal card that they can use to log on to the site and be rewarded with a deal that they apply to their next visit. They can also share the incentive with selected friends. This way companies are able to use the deal as a private, select marketing tool rather than an arbitrary discount.
Another consideration is the announcement last week from location mainstay, Loopt. The company launched U-Deals – the reverse Groupon. Currently available only in San Francisco, the system empowers the consumer to make their own deal, at the places they pick. You come up with the deal, you get your friends on board, and then submit it to Loopt. They then try to get the merchant to accept the deal.
If it works both the consumer and merchant should benefit through better margins.
Team buying seems to be the latest fad in the marketing space. By adding location, this fad can become the future. SocialSelect and LevelUp have been pioneers in this area by adding the foundations for daily deals and CRM. Will this prevent Grouponers from frequenting their daily sites? Probably not. But it does give some hope to businesses that are not reeking in the benefits of team buying. This way they can build clientele and reward their best customers at the same time. Although, there are arguments for and against team buying, we can say for certain that a good solution is always location. But for now, we can only wonder if TLC will make a spinoff to Extreme Couponing.
