The George Zimmerman trial juror who already gave a televised interview to Anderson Cooper announced she had received a book deal to write an insider's look at the trial.
The Internet offered a collective eye-roll over Juror B37's attempt to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame, even before her identity became public knowledge.
But at least one Twitter user decided the juror shouldn't get to profit off of the painful details of the slaying of Trayvon Martin and the trial of his killer.
The Twitter user, identified as "Cocky McSwagsalot" and writing under the handle @MoreAndAgain, began gathering information to launch a campaign against the book Monday night.
!!!!! RT @miss_hellion: If we can't do anything else, we can stop the publishing of that book. See:Paula Deen— Cocky McSwagsalot (@MoreAndAgain) July 16, 2013
We just gotta find out her name and the publisher. But, we can stop that book.— Cocky McSwagsalot (@MoreAndAgain) July 16, 2013
It took about a half an hour from the idea until Twitter managed to find literary agent Sharlene Martin's Twitter handle and contact information, at 9:28 p.m.
This is the Google Doc with contact information for Sharlene Martin, the literary agent for juror B37. Contact her http://t.co/tvl7p5nRTm— Cocky McSwagsalot (@MoreAndAgain) July 16, 2013
Hey, @sharlenemartin, please drop juror B37. Do not help the person who let a murderer get away profit from this tragedy.— Cocky McSwagsalot (@MoreAndAgain) July 16, 2013
"McSwagsalot" said Martin got in touch with her privately on Change.org less than two hours later, at 11:15 p.m.
Martin was rescinding her offer to Juror B37, and announced the decision in a statement she made public at 12:59 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Soon after, the juror came out with a statement of her own, saying she "realized that the best direction for me to go is away from writing any sort of book and return instead to my life as it was before I was called to sit on this jury."

'Pink Panther' jewel thief escapes Swiss prison
Fri, 26 Jul 2013 12:40:02 GMT —
Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
GENEVA (AP) â?? A member of the notorious "Pink Panther" jewel thief gang has escaped from a Swiss prison after accomplices rammed a gate and fired at guards, police said Friday.
Milan Poparic, 34, fled with fellow inmate Adrian Albrecht, 52, from the Orbe prison in the western canton (state) of Vaud late Thursday, according to a police statement.
Poparic, a Bosnian national, had been serving a sentence of six years and eight months for robbing a jewelry store in the Swiss city of Neuchatel in 2009. Albrecht was serving a seven-year prison for various crimes including robbery, arson and money laundering.
Police said Poparic was affiliated to the Pink Panthers network, prime suspects in a series of spectacular thefts. According to Interpol the group has targeted luxury watch and jewelry stores in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, netting over 330 million euros ($436 million) since 1999.
Interpol has dubbed them the "Pink Panther" gang, recalling the 1963 movie starring Peter Sellers as the bungling Inspector Clouseau, but it isn't known whether members themselves use that name. The gang is believed to have a core membership of about 40 people, many of them from the Balkans.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the death of poet and author Maya Angelou has dimmed "one of the brightest lights of our time."
Obama said in a statement that he and first lady Michelle Obama will cherish the time they spent with Angelou.
He said Angelou had the ability to remind us that we are all God's children and that we all have something to offer.
"Michelle and I join millions around the world in remembering one of the brightest lights of our time: a brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman," Obama said.
"Over the course of her remarkable life, Maya was many things: an author, poet, civil rights activist, playwright, actress, director, composer, singer and dancer. But above all, she was a storyteller, and her greatest stories were true."
Obama said "a childhood of suffering and abuse actually drove her to stop speaking, but the voice she found helped generations of Americans find their rainbow amidst the clouds, and inspired the rest of us to be our best selves."
He presented Angelou with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in 2011, and said the poet had inspired his mother to name his sister Maya.
Angelou died at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was 86.
Former President Bill Clinton said her death meant that "America has lost a national treasure, and Hillary and I, a beloved friend."
"The poems and stories she wrote and read to us in her commanding voice were gifts of wisdom and wit, courage and grace," Clinton said.
Clinton said he will remain forever grateful for Angelou's "electrifying reading" of "On the Pulse of Morning" at his first inauguration in 1993, and for the years of friendship that followed.

Hamilton County Sting Nets Securities Offender
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today praises the arrest of Phillip Butler and filing of additional criminal charges against him by Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney Sonya Leerkamp. A sting, initiated by Rokita's office and carried out with the assistance of the Indiana State Police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department, has led to additional charges of securities fraud against Butler. Butler was to stand trial for three previous felony counts brought against him by Clinton County Prosecuting Attorney Louis Evans resulting from another investigation initiated by the Secretary of State's office. Butler now faces additional Class C felony counts, with potential punishment ranging from two to eight years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
During the sting, Bulter made an offer and completed a sale for $50,000 to an undercover Indiana State Police Detective and a Secretary of State's office Securities Investigator. Butler, who has been barred from the securities industry since 1989, illegally offered to the detective shares of a corporation called PanaMed, which is not a registered stock with the Secretary of State's office as required by law.
"This is the kind of repeat criminal activity that has to stop," Rokita said. "Clearly this man didn't get the message the first time he was arrested and contiued to break the law . This successful cooperation on the part of all offices involved sends the message that Indiana will not stand by and let its citizens be victimized."
"We will be seeking a higher bond for Mr. Butler because of his continued foray into this type of activity," Prosecutor Leerkamp said. "It appears that he has not been rehabilitated yet and perhaps needs to sit in jail and think about it for a while." Rokita's office referred the case to Leerkamp's office, who under Indiana law has authority to file criminal charges. The offices continued working together to set up the sting.
"Basically the Secretary of State's office did the bulk of the work with Hamilton County doing a lot as well," Detective Mike Mimnicus said.
"I want to congratulate Prosecutor Leerkamp and her staff for their hard work on this case. I am also proud of the work done by Securities Commissioner James Joven, Kim Haskins and Charles Williams from my Prosecution Assistance Unit, and Laura Emrick from my Securities Division," Rokita said. "I also want to specifically thank Detectives Mimnicus, Uhrick, Howell, Nickel, McKinney, and Anderson of Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Carter's office."
The Prosecution Assistance Unit was created by Rokita and Joven in 2004 to further existing investigations and facilitate local law enforcement's prosecution of alleged Securities Act violations. The focus of the office is to assist state court prosecutors in an effort to work together at the courthouse and statehouse to root out this white collar crime.

Greece holds investigation into migrants' drowning
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek judicial authorities said Thursday they are investigating the deadly sinking of a migrant boat that was being towed by a coast guard vessel, as officials denied survivors' claims that officers badly mishandled the operation.
The small fishing boat crammed with 28 people had entered Greece illegally from Turkey. The Coast Guard said it was towing the boat to the small Aegean Sea island of Farmakonissi when it capsized and sank Monday leaving two people dead and another 10 — mostly children — missing and feared drowned.
Survivors who arrived in Athens claimed Thursday the boat was being led at speed to nearby Turkish waters to be abandoned. They said Coast Guard crew ignored their pleas to take the women and children on their boat before the accident, and then allegedly stood by as passengers struggled in rough seas.
Greece is a major transit point for illegal immigration into the European Union, and the country has promised to make the issue a priority during its current six-month presidency of the 28-nation bloc.
Merchant Marine Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis and Coast Guard officials rejected the survivors' accounts.
"It is not at all true that the vessel was being towed at high speed toward Turkey," Varvitsiotis said. "That is clear from the vessels' coordinates, which we have at our disposal and that anyone who wants can see."
A Coast Guard statement said the crew made "huge efforts" to rescue the immigrants, who were Afghan and Syrian, while also fighting a fire in one of the patrol boat's engines caused by the strain of towing the fishing boat through high waves. It said weather conditions would have endangered any attempt to transfer the migrants to the launch at sea.
International rights groups have urged a full investigation, while Nils Muiznieks, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, said Wednesday that the incident "appears to be a case of a failed collective expulsion."
The head of the United Nations refugee agency office in Athens said survivors told a UNHCR official that some of the Coast Guard crew were saying "back to Turkey" and swearing at them in English.
"They said that when the boat capsized they were not thrown ropes or lifejackets but had to swim to the patrol boat, and some said that as they were trying to get up they were hindered," Giorgos Tsarbopoulos said.
"There are clearly two different accounts, which is why we are asking for an in-depth investigation," he said. "I don't know where the truth lies, but what (the survivors) were saying is very serious."
The 16 survivors are being cared for in Athens by an NGO and municipal officials, and given psychological and legal assistance.
"Their main demand now is to have their children's bodies recovered," Tsarbopoulos said. "It seems that they were trapped inside the (fishing boat)."

Opaque structure types are used to represent named structure types that do not have a body specified. This corresponds (for example) to the C notion of a forward declared structure.
LLVM has several different basic types of constants. This section describes them all and their syntax.
The one non-intuitive notation for constants is the hexadecimal form of floating-point constants. For example, the form '' is equivalent to (but harder to read than) ''. The only time hexadecimal floating-point constants are required (and the only time that they are generated by the disassembler) is when a floating-point constant must be emitted but it cannot be represented as a decimal floating-point number in a reasonable number of digits. For example, NaN's, infinities, and other special values are represented in their IEEE hexadecimal format so that assembly and disassembly do not cause any bits to change in the constants.
When using the hexadecimal form, constants of types half, float, and double are represented using the 16-digit form shown above (which matches the IEEE754 representation for double); half and float values must, however, be exactly representable as IEEE 754 half and single precision, respectively. Hexadecimal format is always used for long double, and there are three forms of long double. The 80-bit format used by x86 is represented as followed by 20 hexadecimal digits. The 128-bit format used by PowerPC (two adjacent doubles) is represented by followed by 32 hexadecimal digits. The IEEE 128-bit format is represented by followed by 32 hexadecimal digits. Long doubles will only work if they match the long double format on your target. The IEEE 16-bit format (half precision) is represented by followed by 4 hexadecimal digits. All hexadecimal formats are big-endian (sign bit at the left).
There are no constants of type x86_mmx.
Complex constants are a (potentially recursive) combination of simple constants and smaller complex constants.
The addresses of global variables and functions are always implicitly valid (link-time) constants. These constants are explicitly referenced when the identifier for the global is used and always have pointer type. For example, the following is a legal LLVM file:
For example, the welcome video comes underneath all of this information?
When you take the option to watch the video series, then again GetResponse confuses terminology. They immediately talk about Building Your List – which is correct – but it contradicts with their naming convention of a campaign.
GetResponse needs to align their terminology with industry standards and make it more consistent.
GetResponse has several different pricing plans:
The Pro, Max, and Enterprise plans include additional features like Landing Pages, Webinars, and SalesForce integration, which we have not covered here.Pro, Max, and Enterprise

NFL draft to May in 2014; future dates undecided
May 28, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL draft is moving to May next year.
The league officially announced Tuesday that the 2014 edition will be held May 8-10 at Radio City Music Hall because of a scheduling conflict in April at the venue. The NFL has yet to decide on dates for drafts in 2015 and beyond.
Radio City is hosting an Easter show next year that conflicts with the NFL's typical window for the draft.
The last time the entire draft took place in May was 1984.
The NFL says there will be no significant changes in the dates for other offseason events next year.

Launching three new versions of their swanky iPad tablet in as many years, chances are you're already pretty familiar with the Apple gadget that's leading the charge for a whole new era of mobile computing. You may even have one already, swiping through your iPad to read this very post. How meta!
Today, Apple unleash a brand new version of the iPad, with queues wrapping around the block outside many an Apple retail store, and the entire online pre-order stock already snapped up until April.
So what's so special about the new iPad 3? Is it worth your money if you haven't already got a tablet, and is it a worthy upgrade if you've already got an original iPad or iPad 2? Scroll down for our gut reaction on the new generation device's key improvements, and the areas we feel it's still lacking in.
5 things that are great about the new iPad
- The Retina Display: Apple's new iPad packs in brand new screen technology, similar to the super-high resolution display found in their iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S mobile phones. Still 9.7 inches in size, the Retina Display has a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. That adds up to 3.1 million pixels, approximately 1 million more than you'd see on an average 1080p HD TV. In other words, high-res images look as close to printed pictures as they possibly can, text is more readable than ever, and individual pixels are practically indistinguishable.
- Faster A5X processor: Claiming to be 4x faster than their Nvidia rivals, the new chip inside the latest iPad should allow for superior performance across all apps, and allow for more graphically intense games to feature too. If developers get their act together, it shouldn't be too big a gap between the quality of PS3, Xbox 360 and iPad games now.
- Better camera: After putting a dismal camera into the iPad 2, the new iPad finally has a decent imaging system. The "iSight" camera can take 5MP stills and capture 1080p video, which should lead to some very nice results when paired with the new iPhoto image editing app and the updated iMovie video editing app.
- 4G mobile connectivity: If you're a reader in the US, the new iPad is now compatible with superfast LTE mobile broadband, which will make downloading larger apps or streaming video on the go a speedy joy.
- Price: Despite all the new features, the new iPad retains the same pricing structure as the last generation. So for just £399, you can walk away today with the basic 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad 3. If you've been saving up for an iPad 2, jumping straight up to the new iPad 3 won't cost you any extra notes.
5 reasons not to care about the new iPad
- 4G doesn't work yet in the UK: With Ofcom still divvying up the new 4G spectrum in the UK, it's going to be likely more than a year (at the very earliest) before the 4G standard is widely available in the UK. The new iPad will still be faster over mobile internet than older generations thanks to an improved antenna system, but the incredible speeds that 4G allows for will be out of reach to those in Blighty.
- It's thicker and heavier than last years model: It's only a slight difference, near invisible to the naked eye, but the new iPad is bulkier than the iPad 2. Using the Wi-Fi models as an example, the iPad 2 is 8.8 mm thick and weighs 600 grammes. The new iPad Wi-Fi only by comparison measures 9.4 mm thick and weighs 650 grammes. It's not a massive difference, but will be noticeable to those used to the svelte lines of the iPad 2.
- The iPad 2 is now way cheaper: While the new iPad is reasonably priced at £399, if you're not fussed about the new features, the iPad 2 now sits attractively at £329 for the basic model, brand new. Second hand iPad 2's will likely be drastically cheaper again than that price too.
- No Siri: With the iPhone 4S Apple introduced the voice controlled personal assistant feature Siri, which can help manage your calendar, find directions, take notes and search the apps and media stored on your device, as well as a ton of other cool features, just by speaking to it. The iPad 3 gets voice dictation. Seems a bit of a let down, and perhaps even a little cheap on Apple's behalf if they're withholding this for a future generation of the tablet. Which leads onto our next point…
- Apple almost certainly have something EVEN better lined up: Just prior to the iPad 3 launch, rumours were shooting around the web that Apple were going to be squeezing in new cutting-edge touchscreen technology into the new iPad. Apparently in talks with a company called Senseg who specialise in displays that react to touch differently depending on what's displayed onscreen, it turned out not to make the cut for the final product. But knowing Apple, it's likely that the Senseg technology, along with a host of other improvements, are being held back for future updates to their tablet, as they drip feed new features in with each successive update to the device, encouraging existing owners to splash more cash with an upgrade.
Should I buy a new iPad?
If you've been waiting to jump onto the tablet bandwagon, the new iPad is easily the most advanced offering out on the market, and, backed by the superb App Store and intuitive iOS user interface, it's the slickest and easiest to use too. The screen looks great, it's faster than its predecessor's and it's no more expensive than earlier versions.
If however you have an iPad 2, it's a little more difficult to say. Without 4G connectivity in the UK, the new iPad isn't quite as impressive as it could be, and unless you're really into gaming or image/video editing, the new camera and screen upgrades wont mean that much to you. Also, if you've never owned a tablet before, and are strapped for cash, the iPad 2 is now available from a number of retailers and second-hand stores for a really great price.
Overall though, we'd say grab the new iPad if you can afford to. The screen really is a revelation in our opinion, and you'll be the envy of your mates with your shiny new tech toy.

Burke Street Self Storage to be constructed in NashuaBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
September 21. 2017 7:15PM
NASHUA — A new public storage facility will soon be constructed on Burke Street at the former Improved Paper Machinery Co. site.
Last week, the planning board approved a site plan allowing for the construction of eight new buildings and the renovation of an existing building for the self storage complex at 131 Burke St.
Burke Street Self Storage will provide nearly 40,000 square feet of new construction storage. The existing building will be expanded and converted into an additional 53,000 square feet of climate controlled self storage, as well as warehousing and office space, according to Paul Chisholm, a civil engineer with Keach-Nordstrom Associates.
"This is a site with heavy industrial use," Chisholm told city planners, adding the self storage facility offers a clean development opportunity for the six acre parcel.
Lewis and Clark, a machine reseller, currently operates on the site; Chisholm said plans include space for a rental tenant to remain.
Brian Kelly of 131 Burke St. LLC, said he intends to have the self storage facility open 24 hours a day, and will utilize security cameras, fencing and a key-code gate for entry.
"Our plan is to do whatever necessary to make it secure," said Kelly.
One employee will assist with daily maintenance and upkeep of the complex. However, the business will operate mostly through a kiosk machine where customers are able to rent the individual storage units.
There are 52 parking spaces on the property, however Chisholm said there will likely only be about 25 vehicles visiting the units daily.
"It should be noted that there is contamination on the site based on historical use," he told the board. According to Chisholm, chromium has been identified in the subsoil, which could have resulted from the operations of Ingersoll Rand, a former occupant on the large property before it was subdivided.
An environmental firm is working with Ingersoll Rand to mitigate the contamination, and treatments have already taken place, he said. Still, Chisholm stressed that Burke Street Self Storage will not be constructing on that portion of the property. The planning board unanimously approved the site plan on Thursday, with the condition that the new developers work with city staff to grant an easement that will allow access to a nearby public trail.
Gene Porter of the Merrimack River Local Advisory Committee said the city owns about half of the one-mile stretch of trail, and the other half is privately owned. "It is a very, very attractive shoreline," said Porter, stressing the importance of a conservation easement possibly for an expanded bike or walking trail in the future.
The scope and size of the new storage facility, which is next to Salmon Brook and the Merrimack River, will require an alteration of terrain permit that is now pending before the state; a shoreland permit has already been granted by state officials.

Flexible Public Space: 'Youth Factory' in Spain
Posted in Models by Kate Archdeacon on August 5th, 2011
Source: Fast Company's Co.Design
Photo © Iwan Baan
From "Simple Genius: The World's Coolest Skate Park Doubles As A Counseling Center" by Alissa Walker:
How about a playground that's not really a playground at all, instead it's a vibrant, flexible space that acknowledges the wide variety of activities that kids actually want to participate in? The firm Selgas Cano has designed just the space in Merida, Spain.
The Factoría Joven ("youth factory" in Spanish) is less a junky jungle gym and more like a creative community center, equipped for activities as wide-ranging as rock climbing and hip-hop dancing. There's a skatepark, of course, which essentially winds through the plazas connecting the buildings (almost all the ground is actually skateable), but also a concert stage for performing arts. Plus a place to learn graffiti and street art, and a section of the complex that's set up for circus training. Yes, tightrope walking at the park.
There's also plenty of indoor space for learning music and dance. And wireless Internet, of course. Selgas Cano chose to huddle all the activities under a single canopy, which is supported by oval-shaped cylinders for indoor activities (with white cylinders and an orange lid, it looks kind of like a series of mushrooms clustered together with a shared cap).
To keep costs down, there's no heating or cooling, instead the canopy is a meter thick to shield kids from hot sun or rain. The bright orange and white cladding is made from corrugated plastic and has a level of translucence to it, allowing some sun through and interior light to filter out at night, turning the building into a glowing beacon for the community that can be used well into the night.
By creating a public space that's so visually exciting, it's hard to imagine that kids (or their parents) will want to hang out anywhere else. And that's partly the point: The skatepark's structure actually hides meeting rooms where kids can get group counseling. So the activities get them in, but that also creates an unparalleled opportunity to reach them.

The late Wisconsin Senator William Proxmire issued a monthly Golden Fleece Award to public officials who bestowed taxpayers' funds on risible projects. Senator Proxmire issued the award for more than a decade until he retired from the Senate in 1989. Proxmire was a vanishing breed of Democrat who purported to oppose government waste while supporting all the Great Society programs that really opened the spigots, yet the spirit of his Golden Fleece Award survives in the great Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn (Republican).
Senator Coburn has taken to issuing annual editions of his Wastebook to pay tribute to the kind of projects that Proxmire ridiculed on a monthly basis. Senator Coburn has just posted the fourth annual edition of his Wastebook here along with a press release identifying highlights here.
The New York Times obituary of Senator Proxmire recalls that one of his Golden Fleece awards went to the National Science Foundation for spending $84,000 to learn why people fall in love. One can see the continuity between Proxmire and Coburn in this year's edition of the Wastebook. Senator Coburn identifies an even bigger waste of money for an even less worthy project brought to us by then Chairman Jim Leach's National Endowment for the Humanities. Let's hear it for The Popular Romance Project: the NEH has awarded it nearly $1 million since 2010 to "explore the fascinating, often contradictory origins and influences of popular romance as told in novels, films, comics, advice books, songs, and internet fan fiction, taking a global perspective—while looking back across time as far as the ancient Greeks."
You may recall that as a candidate for president in 2008 Barack Obama promised to "go through the budget line by line [and] eliminate programs that don't work." Have the fact checkers weighed in on that one yet?

Blocked Tear Ducts: Balloon Dacryocystoplasty
Topic Overview
A blocked tear duct, which causes tears to build up, sometimes requires surgical treatment. Balloon dacryocystoplasty is a type of surgery used to open a blocked tear duct without making an incision in the nose or face. This surgery is not often done in children who are younger than 1 year.
During surgery, a thin guide wire is inserted through the hole in the corner of the eye through which tears drain (puncta). The wire, which has a tiny, deflated balloon attached, is threaded through to the obstructed area. The balloon is gently inflated with a liquid. The pressure of the balloon opens up and expands the blocked duct. The balloon is then deflated and removed along with the wire.
For adults, a local anesthesia is used for a balloon dacryocystoplasty, which is usually done in a doctor's office. Most people can go home right after the procedure is completed. The pain is often described as similar to having an injection.
Young children are usually given general anesthesia for this procedure.
To prevent infection, antibiotic eyedrops or antibiotics taken by mouth are often used for several days before and after surgery. Sometimes medicines (corticosteroids) are given after surgery to decrease tear duct swelling.
Balloon dacryocystoplasty leaves no facial scars and has less risk of complications than dacryocystorhinostomy. It is sometimes used if a person:
- Cannot tolerate general anesthesia.
- Wants to avoid a surgical scar on his or her face.
- Has tear ducts that remain blocked after dacryocystorhinostomy surgery.
Risks include:
- A higher recurrence rate of tear duct blockage than if external dacryocystorhinostomy is used.
- A false passageway being created by the guide wire.
- Complications from the local anesthesia.

text: Intense and ominous, "Man of Iron" is the epic action score you need for any fight or battle sequence (preferably one with explosions). Great for action adventure scenes with a heightened emotion or heroic violence. With a slight touch of the Middle East, this is an outstanding track for a desert war or any kind of military scenario.

Taxpayers may be tapped to fix gun registry backlog
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A run on weapons is proving too much for state regulators to keep up with, and it may be taxpayers who bail them out.
A gun registry called ACCESS is months behind the surge in sales, but a plan to pump in more public money is drawing fire from weapons dealers.
"Being a taxpayer, I'm not fond of spending money on something that is already -- the database -- is already there," said Brian Schuetz, who owns Olympic Arms, a firearms manufacturer in Olympia.
Handguns are being snapped up in Washington faster than information on the buyers, sellers and weapons can be entered into the database.
"Over the last seven years, firearms sales in our state have nearly tripled while the number of our staff has remained the same," said Christine Anthony, a Department of Licensing spokesperson.
DOL is now asking for another $409,000 so temporary workers can help process this pile-up of paperwork. Staffers say leaving the backlog could hurt police investigations, as law enforcement agencies check the handgun database thousands of times every day.
"Public safety is actually being compromised," Anthony said. "The further the backlog is, the less current the information is for law enforcement."
However, gun store owners like Schuetz believes the access database is redundant. He pointed to the federal and state reporting forms he's required to submit, and says law enforcement can already track handgun sales through databases that aren't backlogged.
"If that one's already up to date, why do i want to spend money to bring the other one that does the same thing," Schuetz said.
Still, law enforcement agencies contacted by KOMO 4 insist that despite the flaws, they need the ACCESS site as one more tool to fight crime.

More refugees? Manchester is used again
August 19. 2013 8:05PM
Despite opposition from the mayor and other city leaders concerned about the impact on public services, the International Institute of New England is once again settling hundreds of refugees in the city of Manchester. And once again the institute's public statements are questionable, if not intentionally misleading.
The city and the institute agreed to a one-year moratorium on Third World refugees being resettled here, and that year is nearly up. The institute has announced that 200 more refugees, these from Bhutan and Iraq, will start arriving later this year. According to Carolyn Benedict-Drew, the institute's director, "These are going to be voting members of our community who will be building the economic base in New Hampshire." But it is hard to build the economic base of a state when you don't speak the language. The institute's own report on these new refugees states Manchester is a good place for them because of all the services, including HIV/AIDs care, mental health treatment and publicly funded English language classes.
That is exactly the kind of public burden Mayor Ted Gatsas worried about. His concerns are well-founded, and the institute further discredits itself by continuing to use Manchester as the destination for so many people who need services while institute officials publicly downplay such needs.

The push for better collaboration is leading agencies to put social media platforms to use
Knowledge management got its groove back.
The Defense Department's push to become more agile in its operations and the Obama administration's push to make government more open and collaborative are inspiring DOD and civilian agencies to devise ways to connect people and share ideas, which is knowledge management in a nutshell, agency chief knowledge officers and experts say.
Moreover, advances in collaboration, social media and enterprise search tools are making it easier to aggregate, disseminate, move, search for and segment information from a multitude of systems and resources.
Established as a discipline in 1991, knowledge management covers the strategies and practices that an organization uses to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable the adoption of insights and experiences. Those insights and experiences represent knowledge, either embodied in individuals or embedded in organizational processes or practices.

Kundra seeks inventory of agencies' knowledge management apps
Knowledge management drew a lot of attention — and a lot of hype — starting in the late 1990s.
However, knowledge management initiatives started to fall short of expectations, and "people were perhaps buying technology but not making it tremendously useful for operations in government," said Ronald Simmons, a senior knowledge management adviser at the Army Training Support Command, which is part of the Training and Doctrine Command.
Simmons should know. Involved with knowledge management for 12 years, he built the first virtual knowledge work environment at the Federal Aviation Administration before moving to the Marine Corps and then onto the Army to accomplish the same tasks.
After stints on the civilian and defense sides of government, Simmons said that "from an operational standpoint, [DOD] is probably going to take the lead, if they haven't already taken the lead now" in knowledge management.
The goal of many of DOD's technology efforts is to add agility into defense operations, Simmons said. DOD is a massive organization spread across the world. To share knowledge collaboratively, DOD needs the right mix of technologies to make information easily accessible to military personnel worldwide, he said.
"I'm finding knowledge management is attractive to DOD and will come back around to the other agencies in that it gives agility to the whole workforce," Simmons said.
Civilian agencies are already starting to get on the bandwagon as they gear up to make more information available to experts, specialists and the public.
"Knowledge management, just like the openness area, is being challenged by an explosion of digital information that is increasing exponentially every year," said David McClure, associate administrator of the General Services Administration's Office of Citizen Services and Communications.
Turning data into information and knowledge is becoming more of a challenge because of the volume of data created, McClure said.
And knowledge management is moving to the user, much in the way that business intelligence did during the past few years, he said. For instance, business intelligence used to be a special segment dominated by people who possessed the skills needed to navigate through systems and data. But in the past few years, the power of information is moving directly to the user, he said.
"That means that knowledge management, from an enterprise perspective, gets more exciting, if you will, and challenging," he said. Why? "Because you are creating knowledge that can be used on the fly by a different set of users rather than experts in the agency."
Beyond E-Mail
The emerging crop of collaboration and social media tools extends how, when and where knowledge is disseminated, knowledge officers say.
When Simmons first moved to DOD, he was "amazed that we fight wars in e-mail, because there is a better way to collaborate than e-mail."
Simmons said he told DOD officials, "now if I can get you out of e-mail, then I bet you can move, aggregate, segment and search all sorts of capabilities of knowledge." DOD personnel are excited about building a capability in which operational knowledge is not limited to one physical location but is accessible anywhere, anytime, he said.
Simmons' special niche in knowledge management has been in building virtual work environments. In the case of FAA and the Marine Corps, those environments consisted of a platform based on Microsoft SharePoint collaboration software, business intelligence software, Adobe Acrobat, and Connect Pro for instant messaging, communications and virtual meetings.
Although social networking tools were not created with knowledge management in mind, knowledge management practitioners are looking at ways to use them. Knowledge management managers can successfully use the tools to give organizations the ability to operate without e-mail in a secure, transparent way, Simmons said.
Take MilSuite, the military's knowledge management suite, which includes Milblog, MilWiki, and a Facebook-type application called MilBook, which sits securely behind an enterprise firewall.
MilSuite is an integrated platform available to users of Army Knowledge Online/Defense Knowledge Online, the Army's primary knowledge management tool. Users can securely access the knowledge management suite through an AKO/DKO account or with a Common Access Card.
MilSuite is based on open-source software. The wiki runs on the same type of software that supports Wikipedia; the blog runs on WordPress, an open-source content management system; and MilBook is powered by Jive Clearspace, now called Jive Social Business Software, open technology that requires software licenses to run, Filler said.
All three components are linked via a virtual business card. If someone writes a wiki on systems engineering for the Army, another person from the Navy can see who wrote the wiki, view that person's profile and find other people with whom that person is connected, said Justin Filler, deputy director of the Army's Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical MilTech Solutions Office.
MilSuite allows users to transcend the traditional hierarchical command structure to share ideas. For instance, an Army general might ask the question: "How can we make satellite communications better?" Traditionally, an engineer would learn about the question through his or her manager and would answer the question. The engineer's answer would percolate through the command chain until it reaches the general, Filler said.
Through MilSuite, whoever has information can share it directly with the general, and other people who don't necessarily know one another can also submit information. The decision-maker can filter information and contact individuals to get more information.
The Training and Doctrine Command is running a pilot project through MilSuite to update the Army field manual, known as the Tactic Technique and Procedure manual, Filler said. The process traditionally can take as long as two years because the manual has to go through a rigorous cycle.
For the next version of the manual, the command is putting it on the wiki so updates can be made more quickly. For example, if the manual needs to have instructions about how to change a tire on a Humvee, a solider in Iraq could add details about changing a tire in the desert to specify that a board must be placed underneath the truck to prevent it from sinking in the sand.
That's the type of information that military personnel are sharing in MilSuite, which has about 63,879 users, Filler said.
Potential capabilities for the future could include more video, which is ideal for training, so there could be a MilTube component or MilDesk for people who want to collaborate in a cloud computing environment. Plus, there are more ways to share knowledge aside from text, so there potentially could be a MilPic or MilFlickr component, Filler said. The DOD community will drive this development, providing feedback on what functions they would like to see, he added.
Filler said he prefers to describe what MilSuite allows users to do as professional networking rather than social networking because in a knowledge management environment, users are talking about what they are working on — not that they went to the bar and had a good time, he said.
Trust Factor
However, people who collaborate through professional media tools can develop a relationship that is social, which is a good thing for building trust — an important part of knowledge management, said Susan Camarena, chief knowledge officer of the Transportation Department's Federal Transit Administration.
"If you don't trust the data, information or experience, you're not gong to use it," she said. "Social relationships that develop as a result of professional respect encourage trust."
FTA has been on a knowledge management journey for the past two and a half years, said Camarena, who honed her knowledge management skills at the U.S. Agency for International Development before working with FTA.
For the first year, the agency's focus was on developing a broad but comprehensive strategy for implementing knowledge management. The aim wasn't to set up communities of practices and Web portals right away. Instead, FTA officials did a methodical review and knowledge audit of the agency to see where they wanted to go with knowledge management, knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer.
Additionally, Camarena introduced the concept of templates as a way to collect and share knowledge. Many FTA employees have been with the agency for a long time and have a lot of information to share, so it is critical to document that knowledge. Camarena's team of knowledge management liaisons are conducting structured interviews of seasoned personnel to capture not only what they do but also what they know.
All of that information has to go some place, she said. FTA is testing its Transit Knowledge Portal, a business process portal that employees will access to tap into FTA's knowledge bank. The portal will also connect communities of interest at FTA.
The platform is based on Microsoft SharePoint, which is the collaboration technology that DOT already uses. FTA officials hope to take advantage of features such as MySite, which lets users set up home pages as they can in Facebook, Camarena said.
And as at DOD, FTA is considering ways to move beyond e-mail. FTA will still rely on Microsoft Outlook for e-mail, but Camarena wants to explore opportunities to take person-to-person communication and spread that experience.
Agencies must have a technology base to connect users, but ultimately, knowledge management is about the people and enabling them to share ideas, Camarena said.
Search 2.0
Social media users have come to expect immediate information, said Bobby Caudill, solution architect of global government solutions at Adobe Systems.
Typically, knowledge management started with a data repository, and organizations then add information to a portal, Caudill said.
Portals are good things, but most people don't go to them to actually do their jobs, he said. For instance, AKO is a fabulously successful environment. But most users go there for functions that support their jobs, such as billing or travel request information, Caudill said.
The next step would be a collaborative environment that allows people to communicate synchronously, via Web conferencing tools, or asynchronously, as with Facebook, and meshing those forms of communication with a traditional portal. That would create an enterprise mashup of the various tools people use to do their jobs rather that things that support their jobs.
The environment has the "look and smell of a portal but has actually evolved from there," Caudill said. The approach would give a user a single view into his or her job function, as opposed to a window that has multiple portlets.
Adobe's attempt is the Adobe LiveCycle Mosaic, a module that aggregates multiple applications into a single, personalized view, which eliminates the need to sign in and update each application separately. The aim is to provide users with real-time, relevant and contextual information.
Enterprise search is another game-changing technology in knowledge management, GSA's McClure said. "In order to capitalize on knowledge management, we talk about analytics and software that allows you to mine information," he said. Search engines are the key to harnessing that information.
Agencies are informally collecting a large volume of unstructured data — defined as data that is not in formal databases — every day to manage processes.
"Search capability is going to be a key technology to enhance our ability to move into knowledge management much more effectively," McClure said.
Many agencies have search capabilities. But they often treat documents as a whole, so the ability to find relevant snippets of information is limited, said Bob Carter vice president and general manager of the federal division of Vivisimo, a developer of enterprise search and information optimization tools.
Vivisimo offers a platform that provides a unified view of assets and works in conjunction with a variety of collaboration, document management and enterprise resource management tools.
Air Force Knowledge Now uses the platform to share information across communities of practice for 400,000 people daily, he said. The organization had a variety of tools for sharing information — SharePoint, customized tools, wikis and simple file shares — but had no way of cutting across thousands of communities of practices to navigate and find information, Carter said.
Despite new developments in collaboration tools and search capabilities, not everyone is satisfied with the direction of knowledge management in the federal government.
Knowledge management in the federal government is like patchwork quilt, said Neil Olonoff, chairman of the federal Knowledge Management Initiative and a contractor at Innolog who works with the Army.
Some agencies have succeeded with knowledge management, specifically the Army and NASA, but there is no formal federal program or central clearinghouse of lessons learned to help avoid wasteful duplication efforts, he said. Last year, the Federal Knowledge Management Group called for the establishment of a Federal Knowledge Management Center and a federal chief knowledge management position.
But at the time, too much was going on with the Obama administration, such as the debate over the passage of health care legislation and the economic crisis, Olonoff said. So the group plans to raise the issue again this year.
"There have been pockets of hope and success," but overall, a lot work still needs to done, Olonoff said.

Mark you are absolutely correct. Information is not knowledge at all. This fundamental misunderstanding has led to many many KM projects failing as it has allowed technology vendors to re badge information management tools as knowledge tools which they are not. Of course it is also a seductive argument to senior management and easy to sell because a) they think they understand it because they have come across information management before b) it does not threaten them as they can continue with the same management and cultural practices which are generally the most knowledge hobbling parts of an organisation c) it allows them to demonstrate that they are "doing knowledge management" by a line in the budget for a new search engine and finally d) it is so much easier (even if useless) than proper KM
In the context of KM knowledge is a verb not a noun!
However Social Media tools with their strength in developing connection and gate keeper slaying can have powerful application in some KM activities. It is somewhat ironic then that a recent survey that I undertook with the IA Centre showed very little leadership from the KM field in championing and adopting SM in a business context. It is still seen very much as a marketing tool and it is for "marketing" purposes that these applications are predominately used.
One of the things I admire about KM in the civilian agencies and DoD are the many examples of technological and process innovation in government. However, like the private sector, many KM efforts have failed to meet one or more of their major goals.
I was reminded of one possible underlying cause when I read the tag line for this article that GCN e-mailed: "... making it easier to aggregate and share information, which is essentially what knowledge management is ..."
The underlying problem I would like to highlight is the difference between the nature of information and knowledge, which the tag line, in my opinion, fails to differentiate sufficiently. (And it's a tag line, not a dissertation, so it may be forgiven.)
I think of information as data in a context that renders it sensible to a human being, where I think of knowledge as information in a human context (that is, known by one or more humans) rendered actionable. (Of course, much more complete definitions of both words are possible!)
The risk with bringing technology, technology out of balance with other processes, to knowledge management is an overemphasis on systems that capture and "store" knowledge. My belief is that knowledge has to other essential characteristics. First humans use knowledge and second, as anyone who ever raised their hand in a classroom knows, knowledge uses humans.
Capturing knowledge in some sort of a retrieval system loses these essential characteristics and reduces knowledge to information. I suppose that one can argue whether "systems that know" in a way that usefully mimics the way humans know will be possible, however, they do not appear to exist now, and many KM systems so not appear to acknowledge this technological limitation in their human components.
Perhaps the asymmetry between knowledge "capture" and information retrieval is a good thing, because it forces organizations to retain focus on the humans that these systems are created to serve.
Great article! Quick correction, Jive's product is called "Clearspace", not Peer Space. CS was from the 2.x era, and now with our 4.x line the product is Jive SBS, "Social Business Software". Also Jive used to power the DNI/DIA's A-Space program, and the USAF Medical Services KX among others in Federal.

Brake fluid is essential for the operation of a car's brakes. When you push the brake pedal, the brake fluid causes the brake pads to press against the rotors, making the car slow down and stop. Over time, the brake fluid absorbs air, moisture, sludge and other contaminants and gets contaminated. Air in the brake fluid causes braking to feel spongy and significantly reduces braking efficiency. A brake system flush includes removing the existing fluid and moisture out of the system and replacing it with new, clean, fluid. A brake fluid flush ensures proper brake system performance and increases the lifespan of your brake system components.
A mobile mechanic will use a hand-held vacuum pump and/or atmospheric pressure to remove the fluid. While it is not as powerful as a pressure bleeder, this is an industry approved method of bleeding your brakes. It gets the job done and provides the convenience of a mechanic coming to you.
Please follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and guidelines regarding fluid maintenance. It is a good practice to change brake fluid every 24,000 miles or 36 months. Always use a fluid recommended by your vehicles manufacturer (do not use silicone based brake fluids if your car needs regular brake fluid).
If you do not regularly flush your brake system, it will end up costing you more money down the road. As the fluid becomes contaminated, it will eventually cause brake system components to fail and leak. This will also lead to diminished brake system performance, causing a safety concern.
Our service team is available 7 days a week, Monday - Friday from 6 AM to 5 PM PST, Saturday - Sunday 7 AM - 4 PM PST.

8 community projects supported by Nokia as Fremantle Stars
The Maemo Software team at Nokia will help 8 community projects to be ready for prime time by the Maemo 5 final release:
- eCoach - Sport & outdoor activities manager
- FBReader - E-book reader
- liqbase - Sketch playground
- Mauku - Microblogger without borders
- NumptyPhysics - Virtual gravity game
- OMWeather - Weather forecast widget
- OSM2Go - OpenStreetMap editor
- Vagalume - Last.fm application
The support offered depends on the needs of each project and will include early access to hardware, help on concepting and UI, promotion in the Maemo and Nokia marketing channels and a modest budget to sponsor trips or specific tasks done by the team members. This support is offered as an additional help and comes with no software requirements or any kind of intervention in the development of these projects.
The selection process started with a question to the Maemo community about their candidates for Fremantle Stars. The selected projects make an interesting use of the platform and they will be showcased as good complements to the Nokia offering and the commercial software being developed for Maemo 5. We encourage Maemo developers and enthusiasts in contributing to the success of these projects!
PS: Not selected? There are more plans to support developers before the Maemo 5 final release. Keep following the Fremantle whistle.
If you are indeed investing into built-in media player, mapping application, and chat, please, PLEASE, make them not suck. The current applications included into Diablo do not stand any competition with the third party ones.
There is no perfect list that would make happy everybody. We don't pretend to com up with the perfect list, or not even with a list of "best" projects. We didn't even say that is the final list, other projects might join on a later stage.
Some reasons that come to mind to prioritize our support on the projects selected over the ones mentioned here:
We are investing a lot to have a media player, a maps application and an IM client. We are interested in projects building around them. It is cool to see good projects challenging them but funding the official application and the alternatives is a bit redundant.
Some projects are well consolidated in the Maemo community and they did very well without our direct support. We count on them in Fremantle, of course and we will be at least as nice with them and we have been before. But we better put our extra attention on projects that would really benefit from an extra push.
Some areas get a lot of R&D from Nokia and even if nowadays there are not related Maemo applications the teams/companies working on them could work on porting them. For instance, there is even a subdomain http://mobilecodes.nokia.com/ and it makes sense that we focus on areas where e.g. the S60 branch is not so strong.
Theres a few there like that I wouldn't have thought needed help, and its a shame the maemo-barcode project hasn't been picked as it could have really benefited.
I assume the selection would make more sense to me if I knew what other applications come pre-installed or might be commercially available, but still...
Why no Maemo Mapper on this list? Also, MPlayer and Pidgin seem to be good candidates.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — If you're sick of hearing about Facebook's IPO and Mark Zuckerberg's hoodie, you'll be glad to know the social network has some stiff competition in emerging areas. One of them is social commerce. A number of Boston-area companies, including CustomMade, Daily Grommet and Krush, are trying to give consumers new ways to shop for, discover and even create new products online. They're not Facebook competitors yet, but their progress suggests the social-networking giant will face big challenges as it looks for new revenue streams.
In other innovation news…
Shares of Vertex Pharmaceuticals hit a 52-week high after the Cambridge-based biotech indicated its cystic fibrosis treatment could benefit many more patients when combined with another experimental drug.
Speaking of drugs, Eleven Biotherapeutics and mobile advertising startup SessionM have more in common than you might think. Each company has just raised $20 million in venture funding this week.
And finally, what do you call startup founders who did exactly what they set out to do? Liars, says Len Schlesinger, the president of Babson College and co-author of a new book called "Just Start." Schlesinger said if entrepreneurs told their company stories the way they actually happened, it would lead to "less hero worship." And maybe, just maybe, less hoodie-wearing, too.

A Renewal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
is designed for students who applied for aid the previous
year. Using the Renewal FAFSA application streamlines the
application process because you do not have to enter basic
information since it is uploaded from the previous year's
To ensure that you will be able to take advantage of the
Renewal FAFSA for next year, please update your addresses
and or email addresses on your current years FAFSA application
so that the Department of Education's Renewal Reminders
are sent to the correct address.
All loan funds, federal, Graduate PLUS and
private, are sent directly to the school according to the
disbursement schedule listed below.
If you have any questions regarding the financial
aid funds that have been credited to your account, please
contact the Office of Financial Aid.
If you have any questions regarding the status
of your refund check or charges on your account, please
contact the Bursar's Office at 312-906-5160.
Refund checks are generated by the Bursar's Office and
are available to be picked up at their office (Room 290)
approximately 5-7 business days after a credit has resulted
in a student's account.
The Bursar's Office will send the student an email when
a refund check is available.
As you may be aware, earlier this year Congress approved
a new federal loan for graduate students, the Graduate PLUS
Loan. Unlike undergraduate PLUS loans, where the borrower
is the student's parent, Graduate PLUS loans allow only
the student to be the borrower. Students must meet federal
credit criteria to qualify.
The Graduate PLUS Loan will be beneficial for students
who need additional aid beyond the Federal Stafford and/or
Perkins Loan. Previously, the only option available to these
students was a private loan.
Students in need of additional aid will have to decide
whether to apply for a Graduate PLUS Loan or a private loan
for the 2006 -2007 academic year. Generally, our office
recommends the Graduate PLUS Loan. The primary reason why
this loan is more beneficial to students is the interest
rate, which is fixed at 8.5%. While this may seem like a
high rate when compared with the historically-low Stafford
Loan interest rates of recent years, it is important to
remember that interest rates are rising. The majority of
Chicago-Kent students will not qualify for a private loan
with a rate lower than 8.5%. Even for the few that do, the
Graduate PLUS Loan may still be a better option, since private
loans have variable rates, which are expected to continue
Ultimately, the decision to apply for a private loan or
a Graduate PLUS Loan is yours, and it is one that you should
consider carefully. At the following link you can view a
chart that compares the terms of the Graduate PLUS Loan
and private loans.
If you decide to apply for a Graduate PLUS Loan, the application
process is very similar to that of the private loan. Please
visit the following link (http://www.kentlaw.edu/depts/finaid/federalgraduatesloan.html)
to view a list of our preferred lenders and the chart that
compares the private loan to the Graduate PLUS loan.
Click on the lender of your choice to complete a Graduate
PLUS Loan application. You will need to indicate the amount
that you would like to borrow. Please remember that you
must apply for the full academic year, since we will certify
the loan so that the funds disburse equally between fall
and spring. Also, please be aware that the amount of your
PLUS Loan, combined with the rest of your financial aid
package, cannot exceed the cost of attendance that is determined
by our office. To help you determine the amount of Graduate
PLUS loan funds you will need, please download the Estimated
Cost Worksheet.
If you decide to apply for the private loan instead of
the Graduate PLUS Loan, You must do the following:
Notify the Office of Financial Aid via email at firstname.lastname@example.com
or firstname.lastname@example.com. Apply with your lender. Once your
private loan is approved and completed with your lender,
the Office of Financial Aid will be notified electronically
to complete the school certification request.
If you choose to use a private loan instead of the Graduate
Plus Loan and do not notify our office of your decision,
we will not certify the private loan.
After your application is complete, your lender will contact
our office for certification of your eligibility.
The new Federal Stafford Loan rate for funds
disbursed after July 1 2006 is as follows:
In order to qualify for federal financial
aid for 2006-2007, you must complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA for 2006-2007.
In order to complete the 2006-2007 FAFSA you will need to
provide 2005 income and tax information, so we recommend
that you complete your 2005 tax returns before filing your
FAFSA. However, we also recommend that you complete your
FAFSA as soon as possible to receive full consideration
for financial aid.
You can complete your FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA
online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
If you choose to use a private loan instead of the Graduate
Plus Loan and do not notify our office of your decision,
we will not certify the private loan.
Whether you are applying for a private loan for the first
time this academic year or you are looking to borrow additional
funds, please keep the following in mind:

Funeral urns for ashes range in finishes like bronze, stainless steel, copper, pewter, brass, cloisonne and resin.
Choosing A Funeral Urn
Funeral urns are available in many styles and colors that range in shape from simple cubes and vases to bronze sculpture that can be displayed at the funeral or memorial, kept in the home or suitable for burial at the cemetery. Metal cremation urns are probably the most popular, and are valued for their strength,security, and beauty. Brass cremation urns are an affordable choice and are available in a rainbow of colors ranging from traditional silver and gold to purple, blue, pink, green, black or white. Optional engraving is available on most urns to identify and personalize your purchase, but may add an additional day to the shipment if done directly on the surface of the urn.
Many of the brass styles have matching keepsake urns available for families that want to divide or scatter the ashes later. Many metal urns can be decorated with art work and personalized with engraving, medallions, and military service medals that can be adhered to the urn surface to create a beautiful memorial. The easiest way to make a selection is to consider your loved one's favorite color or style. Birth month gem stones can be used as a color guide to help narrow your choices. On a smaller scale, cremation keepsakes in the form of jewelry or pendants are also available. To learn more about the nature of brass, explore this article on brass cremation urns.
If you plan to have the urn present at the memorial service, we can arrange shipment directly to the funeral home or crematory and rush delivery may be an option. Most of the cremation urns featured in this category are suitable for burial, however, you may want to check with the mortuary or cemetery to find out if a vault is required. Although, not required by law in many states it is common practice in most cemeteries to use a vault to prevent the grave from sinking after a burial takes place.
Since planning a funeral isn't an activity you do everyday (thank goodness!) the process can be overwhelming. So many choices and decisions to make. We can help simplify the steps and help you create a loving memorial. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Hi all!
I managed to run JPPP (Mac 1997 version) on Windows with latest Scummvm release. Then copied the game's folder from PC to my android tablet but game doesn't work with pop up error: "Missing intro directory. Be sure to rename" Opening/Closing" to "Opening_Closing". I've been tried to rename folder but without success - error is the same.
I'm not sure maybe Android has a specific filename system? Has anyone run JPPP on Android?
