A Bellmore resident's long-term houseguest has been arrested for allegedly stealing and pawning more than $50,000 worth of their belongings.
According to Nassau County police, Stacey Ribotsky, 47, was arrested late last month after living in a friend's home since January. Police said that Ribotsky stole and illegitimately pawned designer handbags and jewelry valued at more than $50,000 from the homeowner.
Ribotsky was charged with second-degree grand larceny and was arraigned at Hempstead First District Court on July 22.
Detectives believe that Ribotsky, who has lived on a temporary basis with other friends in the past, may have committed similar crimes at their homes, and are asking anyone who may have been a victim to contact Seventh Squad detectives at (516) 573-6753.

Top 10 Motorcycle Racer Helmet Graphics
Don't Miss Stories on Motorcycle.com
9. Ben Bostrom Wood Helmet
Ben Bostrom has had many cool helmets during his career, but when I first saw this one I was puzzled. What … is … that? Turns out B-Boz drew inspiration from, of all things, hardwood floors, and wanted to decorate his helmet in a similar manner. Hence the "wood" helmet was born. I really shouldn't be surprised at its, um, uniqueness considering Benjamin's free-spirited nature, but the wood helmet strikes a chord with me in a way I really can't explain. It just makes me laugh. Considering that was the second criteria for making this list, I had to include it. It's too bad this graphic never made it into production, because I'd wear it every chance I got.

Giving up on addicts is the defeatist "harm reduction" approach that has been creeping into the United States for some time. Unfortunately, some advocates and public officials in San Francisco want to implement so-called "safe" injection sites, a harm reduction tactic that already is a proven failure.
The deceptive term harm reduction implies a positive—the reduction of harm. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Harm reduction not only embraces a despairing attitude toward drug addiction, it is a fatalistic policy—a policy that Canada has worked long and hard to terminate.
Advocates in San Francisco want to open the first U.S. shooting gallery where addicts can inject heroin, cocaine, and other drugs under the supervision of nurses. For addicts whose primary goal is total abstinence, this type of service would encourage and support their addiction. It not only prevents them from hitting their motivational bottom but, more importantly, does nothing to raise the "bottom" in order to leverage an earlier healing process. Consider the addict active in his addiction: Perhaps this would be a great opportunity for him to continue a career in addiction. Yet we must understand that an active addict's thinking is not clear, rational, or totally sane, given the destructive choices he continually makes.
Since "safe" injection sites only create safety from law enforcement and provide no legitimate benefit to society or the addict, why advocate for the execution of such programs? Follow the money. Eventually large amounts of tax dollars will be allocated to these types of government-sponsored programs that seek to maintain addicts on their drug(s) of choice.
This is where an individual's human rights come into play. Because addiction is a progressive disease, how can a responsible healthcare professional help to perpetuate the slavery of addiction? As an addict increases tolerance to her drug of choice, are these professionals going to watch as that addict puts massive doses of drugs in her body and revive her so that she can do it all over again? If addicts know they are being monitored, perhaps they will use more drugs to see how high they can go, and apparently it will all be legal.
In Canada, there has been an increase in drug overdoses (based on coroner reports) since "safe" injection sites have been open.1 A study presented at the 17th International Conference on the Reduction of Drug Related Harm in 2006 found that since these shooting galleries have opened, the number of addicts admitted to one particular inner-city hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, for serious needle-related infections (e.g., of the heart valves or bone) has been steadily increasing.2 Addicts with these infections had to be treated intensively for six to eight weeks. The same study found that addicts now account for 18,000 to 20,000 days at this hospital per year. So much for these programs being "safe"!
Canada is on the verge of closing the dangerous Insite injection facility in Vancouver and reallocating funds to traditional inpatient treatment—real treatment that promotes eventual abstinence. The "three-pillar" approach (prevention, treatment, and law enforcement) that Canada is embracing is due to the dogged efforts of many law enforcement officers, drug policy experts, and physicians. Citizens and local business owners also have supported Canada's new position because they have been negatively impacted by increased crime rates, which have been reported near such sites in Australia3 and Canada. This approach eliminates the former fourth pillar (i.e., harm reduction) and, in my opinion, truly helps to eliminate harm, not just "reduce" it.
If San Francisco is given the green light to move forward with this perilous enterprise, the United States would literally be moving backward in its attempt to decrease drug addiction and drug-related deaths. For instance, let's look at infectious disease, the most commonly touted issue shooting galleries are supposedly rectifying. A recent article in the Journal of Global Drug Policy and Practice by Garth Davies, a professor at Simon Fraser University in Canada, spells out these misconceptions. Davies' article states that two related factors render it very difficult to make the case for a connection between so-called safe injection sites and reductions in infectious disease rates:
First, many of the countries that have SIFs [supervised injection facilities] also have low population prevalence rates of HIV. These low prevalence rates make it difficult to detect changes in rates; for the most part, it is unlikely that changes in the number of cases would be sufficient to detect statistically significant trends….
Second, in the total population of individuals afflicted with HIV or AIDS, only a small proportion can trace their illness back solely to intravenous drug use. In the Netherlands and Germany, only 8% and 12% of AIDS cases are attributable to injection drug use. There is also a problem of attribution. In Australia, for example, 4% of HIV diagnoses since 2000 have been attributed to injecting drug use. But another 4% have been attributed to the joint category of "Male homosexual contact and injecting drug use." That IDUs [injecting drug users] represent only a small slice of the epidemiological pie is an issue given the manner in which the proposition that SIFs limit the spread of disease is normally evaluated. Specifically, this assertion is commonly tested through recourse to aggregate data, a practice which obscures the specific role played by IDUs.4

Civil Military Relations
Civil-Military Coordination, or CMCoord, is defined by the UN as "the essential dialogue and interaction between civilian and military actors in humanitarian emergencies that is necessary to protect and promote humanitarian principles, avoid competition, minimise inconsistency, and when appropriate pursue common goals".1 The humanitarian principles referred to above are the four key principles of neutrality, independence, humanity, and impartiality. Aid consisting of necessities must be granted to all who need it, regardless of their party or position, by an organization that remains unengaged in the conflict. The contested issues arising from the coordination discussion revolve around this principle of neutrality: militaries function to further the objectives of a particular party to the conflict, whereas principled humanitarian organizations do not.
Between humanitarian and military actors, there exists a lack of understanding of the scope and nature of their respective activities. NATO has dissected the typology of various humanitarian organizations to help avoid misunderstandings among military; however the result is a clumping together of various organizations - each with a different mandate - into three types of civilian groups: international organizations (UN, EU); non-governmental organizations (MSF, ICRC, Save the Children), and international and national government donor agencies (ECHO, USAID). In reality, resources, capabilities, and responsibilities vary from project to project, impacting significantly on how the organization functions. As a result, there is a general lack of knowledge about the specific security concerns of each group. In addition, knowledge sharing among military is often on confidential basis, whereas impartial humanitarian organizations may share information with locals to ensure that they as humanitarian actors 'do no harm'.
The risk to both humanitarian actors and civilians is potentially heightened rather than diminished through coordination measures. The central concern is that humanitarian organizations may be perceived as biased, supporting one party to the conflict, and placed in a position of greater risk as a result. Also of concern is the blurring of the distinction between military campaigns designed to win the hearts and minds of affected populations and the humanitarian principle of impartiality. When engaging in "hearts and minds" campaigns, military actors often employ humanitarian language for explicit political gains, whereas humanitarian actors must remain impartial to all parties for both ethical and security reasons. Furthermore, in complex theaters, multiple objectives masked in action deemed "humanitarian" might place the population at risk. Insurgent groups may prohibit aid from reaching affected populations if it is viewed as support of and from the enemy party.
If done precisely, civil-military coordination may be beneficial for the security of all involved. Over the past decade, violent attacks against humanitarian actors have resulted in over one hundred deaths per year.2 Security against kidnapping, injury, and death is of major concern those in the field. For more information on this topic, see our thematic area on "security management".
Currently, there is no universal framework for civil-military coordination is adhered to. Guidelines for CMCoord at the international and national governmental level exist; however, the discussion continues as to whether coordination is overall a positive exercise or one that detracts from effective humanitarian action.
Coordination with private military security contractors (PMSCs) presents similar considerations but unique challenges, as they are not uniformly covered by IHL as traditional military actors and may possess a myriad of mandates regulating their actions. Beyond guidelines for working alongside the military, some NGOs have already developed guidelines for working alongside PMSCs. The Montreux Document of 2009 lays a framework based upon IHL for PMSCs to align with. Developing a comprehensive coordination agenda for those organizations that opt to use private security will be a challenge.
Regardless of the extent to which civilian and military operations are coordinated, civilian humanitarian organizations must take the lead in undertaking and directing all humanitarian action. Whether coordinating with official or private military security, it remains the duty of the humanitarian actors to stay true to their principles and ensure the needs of the affected population are addressed.

Civil Military relations
I do agree in principle with this text but in the meantime we should not only focus on perceptions and we should not stop to collaborate/coordinate due to this. A way forward needs to be identified. Taking into consideration recent and past history, I would say that conflicts are hardly evitable so finally militaries and humanitarians will be present in a conflict zone in any case. Military forces to enforce peace and security, humanitarians to aid, to protect and to support the affected civilian population. I can understand the differences, I can understand the fact that aid people do not accept military means to solve conflicts but as I say crisis are inevitable and a way to work together should be identified. Military forces cannot be considered (and cannot considered themselves) as the only solution of a crisis but in the meantime humanitarians should understand that without security aid and support will not be effective and will not reach all affected population. Both parties should be considered as part of the solution (clearly this will be the case when military forces are not the cause of the conflict, and when military forces are behaving according to the humanitarian law), both with their distinct mandates, missions and core values. A comprehensive way/approach to understand each other, to mutually influence the way to work should be identified with in mind the only interest of the stability of a region affected by a complex crisis/emergency.

Rosinus' post of his September 10th letter on Twitter has generated almost 10,000 impressions.
"After much persistence," Rosinus writes in a follow-up letter to the alderman today, "the only correspondence I have received was a two sentence email from your Chief of Staff, Bennett Lawson, who informed me that he would work with you to 'prepare a response.'…I am still waiting."
"After the Labor Day weekend, the Alderman posted a note on his website and Facebook page that was long on words but short on actual initiatives," Rosinus said. "It was after I read his statement that I decided to write him a letter posing four very simple, yet important, questions."
Since Rosinus' first letter to Tunney, the 44th ward has racked up an incredible 12 additional robberies—a pace of nearly one per day—with nine of the attacks taking place during non-overnight hours.
Here's is the letter that Rosinus sent to Ald. Tunney on September 10:
Dear Alderman Tunney:
I am writing to you as a result of the recent string of crime in our community. Your press release, dated September 8, 2015, comes after the violent Labor Day Weekend. While my questions and comments often refer directly to this release, please recognize that they are not exclusive to the events of this past weekend, but rather, this year.
According to Chicago Police Department Crime Statistics and media reports, since August 20th there have been reports of: multiple armed robberies, including eight this past weekend, a shooting at the Belmont Red Line, numerous motor vehicle thefts, a stabbing that brought and "unresponsive" victim to the doorstep of Illinois Masonic Hospital, a football-style attack on a defenseless woman, and so on.
I appreciate that we live in an urban environment and I'm not naive enough to believe that complete eradication is possible. That said, in my view the status-quo is untenable and unacceptable.
Taking all of this into account, my questions are as follows:
1. In your press release you make reference to having "formally asked for more police in our 19th District." Why hasn't this been done before? If it has, why has our police force consistently declined? You are our voice with the powers-that-be, why are you being ignored?
2. In your press release you make a reference to Cmdr. Cesario's commitment to "increasing staffing on the first watch." How will you monitor whether or not staffing levels are increasing? Inherently any measurement must include a starting point for staffing levels. What staffing levels are you using as a baseline? How are you planning to hold Cmdr. Cesario accountable? Why should we be confident that "this time will be different?" How do you plan to inform us of the status of your monitoring and management of the process?
3. One of the "big developments" is the advent of "public roll calls." It's my understanding that the purpose of such a display is to deter would-be criminals by allowing for local residents to "positively" interact with police. This confuses me. Lack of local resident familiarity with police is not a problem if crime is imported into Lakeview from other parts of Chicago. How is this nothing more than a "show" rather than an actual solution?In reading your press release, it's clear you're a busy man. You're "actively involved in the court advocacy program," you "regularly attend court dates with victims…," you "participate in the North Side Community Justice Center Steering Committee…" and so on. I appreciate that such civic interaction is a part of your job description, but in the business world we almost exclusively care about outcomes.
4. Considering all of the time you're spending monitoring and "problem-solv[ing]" why is violent crime increasing in our neighborhood? Is it possible that perhaps it's time to make an adjustment to the approach? If so, what can you do differently?Given your profession, you are well aware of how fragile reputations are. If Lakeview continues on this path it is my fear that it could impact our reputation as an exceptionally safe neighborhood, particularly in light of the broader problems other parts of Chicago are currently facing.
Any changes in reputation could have serious consequences, for everyone. Such a decline could negatively impact property values. It could impact the ability to attract new business to our community. It could impact the stability and quality of our local public schools. And cast a pall over the universal vibrancy that those of us who choose to live in Lakeview know and love.
I'm certain the concerns I have are shared with a multitude of your constituents, and you, for that matter. We all have a vested interest in ensuring that crime has no home in Lakeview. I look forward to your response to my questions and I will follow with great interest the outcomes of your initiatives.
P.S.: I would recommend a more active profile on social media. It's my experience as a business owner that dealing directly, and immediately, with your "customers" provides many benefits and can assuage anxieties that legitimate confers and questions aren't falling on deaf ears.

It is always part of you to watch movies and listen to your favorite music during your break time. Hence, you need to have the best part of them because it is your way to simply relax. It will be meaningful on your part to think about getting speakers that will sound at best during the time you are watching the film or listening to music. What you need to do by this time is to simply know more about bookshelf speakers so that you will be more excited to avail their services.
If this is the first time you get polk t15 speakers, you will surely think that they are big and costly. You are not making sense when you believe they are. In fact, they are the opposite for you will find them to be small speakers. They are called bookshelf speakers because they are commonly found located on bookshelves and they are also housed in small enclosures. If you will check around, you will find them to be in different sizes and they could even be available matching your color taste and even home furniture. If you do not desire to place them on your bookshelves, you have the option to place them on the wall whichever is good for them to sound well.
As they are small, you would believe that they are even handy so you would never have problems placing them anywhere. It is just sensible on your part to think about buying as many speakers as possible for you to have some backups. Since they have small enclosures, you might find them to have limited power handling but such is not a big issue because the most important is the sound. You will never regret if you would use them for they will bring you the best sounds. Read yamaha ns 6490 review here!
It is just imperative on your part to read some significant reviews if you want to simply know which brand is doing well. You will feel better if you will choose brands that are really trusted by many as you would never have issues with them later on. The issues will only come out once you find the speakers giving a lot of disadvantages on your part. If you do not want to face a lot of problems in the long run, you better decide to get the right products in the market.You can also learn more about bookshelf speakers by checking out the post at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBzGtx5f6Bk.

Visible signs of discontent with Municipal Councilor Michelle Thone sprouted on lawns throughout District 1 in the 10 days leading up to this week's recall election but the bid to oust her fell short Monday.
And, while 519 – or 94.4 percent – of the 550 District 1 residents who voted did just that, the Council Vice President survived the five-month recall effort mounted by the citizens' Committee to Recall Michelle Thone for two reasons.
The final tally of votes fell short of the 622, or 30 percent, of the district's 2,071 registered voters required to validate the election under Town Charter guidelines. Thone will now serve out her term that expires in January of 2008.
The low-key approach adopted by Thone and her supporters leading up to the election also played a key role in the final outcome. Aside from one letter sent to constituents last week urging them to stay home, the pro-Thone group did little to call attention to the election.
"We sent a letter to more than 1,000 constituents last week asking them not to go, but that was it. Over 70 percent of the voters in the district didn't dignify this with their vote. People saw it for what it was — a subversion of the electoral process," Thone said late Monday night.
"I'm just relieved that it's over. This has been such a distraction and there is so much work before us as a council," said the councilor, who also serves on the Finance Committee and the Bailey's Pond ad-hoc committee.
Despite falling short of their goal of removing Thone, recall organizers felt they more than proved their point.
"This was a landslide. Have you ever heard of winning 94 percent of the vote? We may not have accomplished everything we would have liked, but one thing is clear: Michelle Thone is a lame duck. It is a certainty that come next January we will have new representation in District 1," said William Parker, pointing out that the 519 votes exceeded the number (502) Thone received when she won the seat in 2005.
"When all of the dissatisfaction started to surface, it was believed that No Confidence petitions would be adequate to deliver a message. Only after we had conducted a poll in District 1 that showed that over 80 percent of the respondents wanted Thone recalled did we act. We just validated that poll," Parker said.
Parker and other committee members knew all along that reaching the 30 percent threshold would be difficult.
"We just didn't do as good a job of getting the vote out as we wanted to," said David Frick. "(But) I would hope that Michelle Thone and her supporters would recognize the vote was more than 10 to 1 to recall her.""This is obviously a strong message," said Jon Miller.
Parker pointed out that the number of votes against Thone represented more than 50 percent of the total votes cast in the 2005 election.
"I've seen a couple of comments about that the total no-shows were a vote for Thone. That of course is utterly crazy. The 2005 election was for all municipal offices, including a new mayor. The turnout was unusually large. The fact is that only 911 people voted in our District. One can only conclude that anytime a candidate can get 519 votes in a general election in our district, they win," he said.
Thone won a two-year term in 2005, defeating Meryl Goldsmith, 502 to 313. Goldsmith would have been appointed to fill out Thone's term had the recall been successful. The sprawling district on the southern side of town is largely sandwiched between Route 495 and the Merrimack River. A section north of Route 495 includes neighborhoods on the east side of Main Street to the post office and a portion of Elm Street.
Thone ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility and accountability and maintained throughout the recall process that she has done nothing other than what she pledged to do during the campaign.
In its official statement of recall filed in January, the citizens group said it was seeking her removal "as a result of our dissatisfaction with Councilor Thone's demeanor and performance and ... her ability to make well reasoned, informed and independent decisions on behalf of District One for the remainder of her term in office."
Thone said she has not decided whether to run for re-election in the fall but added "I will say I'm not ruling it out."
"All the people involved who claim they want Amesbury to heal, I hope they move forward in that light from this," she said.
Finance Committee member Allen Neale, who has declared his candidacy for a fall council run, expressed hope that ongoing Charter review and revision will yield stronger language regarding recall.
"I'm sorry our charter allowed for such open-ended charges to be made. I appreciate each side's dedication to their beliefs but the vagueness of the charter regarding recall is really what led to all of this," he said.
Town Clerk Bonnijo Kitchin estimated that the special election would cost the town "approximately $3,000", covering the costs for eight poll workers as well as the printing, coding and supplying of ballots.In accordance with state law, groups representing both factions were allowed to observe the election to ensure it was being conducted properly.

WELLFLEET — The Herring River Restoration Committee will soon apply for permits for the first phase of the estuary's restoration, planners told the Herring River Executive Council on Sept. 25. They expect to go before the Cape Cod Commission this fall seeking the first regulatory approval for the project, which has been in the works for more than 10 years.
The executive council, which directs the project, consists of representatives from the towns of Truro and Wellfleet and the Cape Cod National Seashore. The restoration committee makes recommendations to the council on engineering, scientific and operational plans.
"Phasing" the project, according to restoration ecologist Tim Smith, who presented the committee's update at the meeting, is a way of being "deliberately conservative," so that changes caused by the increased tidal flow in the estuary can be managed incrementally.
Phase one involves 566 of the proposed total of 890 acres to be restored, Smith said, while holding back on areas where issues relating to the effects on private property are still being addressed.
Improvements in the quality of what is now severely oxygen-deprived water and in herring counts are expected benefits in this first phase.
Engineering-wise, phase one means building three dikes in Wellfleet. The largest, on Chequessett Neck Road, would replace the existing dike, expanding the opening from its current 18-foot width and rusted-shut sluice gates to span 165 feet, with operable gates. Mill Creek would get its own smaller dike, as would Upper Pole Dike Creek — although there, only the seaward flow of fresh water would be allowed.
Truro Selectman Bob Weinstein, a member of the executive council, asked whether Wellfleet had any engineering studies detailing problems with the existing dike and how they should be remedied.
"Yes, we do have a sense of what kind of shape it is in now," said Wellfleet Selectman Helen Miranda Wilson, also a council member. The Mass. Dept. of Transportation does routine reports on these kinds of things, she said, and they show "that dike is funky."
"I hope to god this project happens before the dike breaks," Wilson added.
According to Smith, of the 566 acres to be restored in phase one, 535 are within the National Seashore. That leaves 31 privately owned acres. Ten of those belong to the Chequessett Yacht and Country Club, which has signed an agreement with the restoration committee on mitigation measures. The Wellfleet Conservation Trust owns 8.7 acres, acquired to support the restoration. The remaining 12.3 acres are residential properties, ranging over 17 lots.
Speaking from the audience, Wellfleet resident Susan Baumgarten asked if project leaders planned to move forward without consulting the owners of those 17 properties by relying on Chapter 91, the Mass. Public Waterfront Act. That law protects public-purpose uses of waterfronts, including traditional maritime activities such as shellfishing.
Don Palladino, president of the Friends of Herring River, explained that the project is working out solutions with each affected property owner. "We have had more than 100 meetings with property owners over the last 10 years," he said.
Steve Spear, a conservation planner who is on the restoration committee as a representative of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, added, "I don't want anybody to think we don't know what is going to happen on individual properties. We do."
"These are properties that are already regulated as wetlands," Palladino added. "Although some of what might now be fresh water will go back to being salt water."
Smith reported that there are five structures in the phase one project area. Mitigation measures for those properties, including one land transfer, three driveway reconstructions, one well relocation and one protective wall, will need to be dealt with by the project.
The land transfer involves a house owned by Becky Rosenberg, which the project plans to acquire by trading it for a house in the National Seashore at 235 Buttry Way, on Long Pond.
Baumgarten also questioned whether the project would be eligible for approval under the Wetlands Protection Act. She said she had discussed the issue privately with Mass. Dept. of Environmental Protection official Lealdon Langley, who told her the DEP did not know how the law would apply.
Carole Ridley, an environmental consultant who is working for the Friends of Herring River, said that "based on the project's clear restoration goals, the severely degraded condition of the Herring River estuary, and the project design's compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, we are confident the project is eligible" for approval under the wetlands act.
"This is well mapped out," said executive council member Paul Wisotzky of Truro. "What are the obstacles and what is the timeframe for putting a shovel in the ground?"
Permitting is the next hurdle, Smith said, estimating another year and a half would be needed for wetland permitting following a Cape Cod Commission go-ahead. With the need for fundraising, 2021 would be a realistic estimate for a start date, he said.

My husband's side is almost 100 percent Irish. His little mother passed away at the grand age of almost 94 and thought genealogy was a bit silly. However, she did like the fact that she could be a member of the DAR for all practical purposes.
I decided to conquer the impossible in the known dearth of access to the church records of Ireland. Doing my own Grandmother's Kerry folks took almost centuries - or felt like centuries - and still hitting fort walls in my O'Mahonys and Jones. So I was pleasantly surprised when church records showed up for Sligo at FamilySearch and Ancestry website. Unfortunately, they are only indexes but confirmation will be solid when I can order the microfilms to connect the families.
The Cleveland, Ohio family of Downs was found in a courthouse search of US records in the Cleveland courthouse before I investigated the church records online. They hailed from Ballinfada. I was lucky she had (at least) three sisters that immigrated to Cleveland. The records had their parents' full names and full townland names on their death records.
Then I came upon the passenger record for " Ma Butler " who was the Grandmother that immigrated to Cleveland. She is even traveling with the cousin named Riley who lived with the family in Cleveland so that cinched it. For Irish genealogy , I feel very lucky indeed .
Some things I learned about Mary Jane Down's Sligo : (Sligeach in Gaelic) sligeach means "full of shells".
- According to the Census returns, a staggering 75,660 emigrated from Sligo in the half-century from 1851-1901.
- Her village named Ballinafad in Irish: Béal an Átha Fada, means "Mouth of the long ford"
- Aghanagh is the Downs' actual town land situated in the civil parish of Tirerrill
- Family Search wiki has a great page about working genealogy in tiny, tough Sligo
- And lastly, that William Butler Yeats wrote 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' there in 1888.

Chase Smith, a high-profile aide to top Orlando politicians of both major political parties, died Wednesday.
He was 41. His recent cancer diagnosis and sudden death stunned those who knew or worked with him.
"He was a loyal and trusted friend, and the definition of a public servant," Orlando City Commissioner Patty Sheehan said in a statement. "He will be deeply missed by his city and county family and forever remembered."

S. Korea supreme court ruling – Cyber money from online games to burst in offline world
Gaming internet cafes litter every block of Seoul and gamers litter the populace. Kids, teens, grannies – each could handily beat me at any of the following: Tetris, WOW, Pong, and maybe even Epyx's amazing shooter, Electrocop, though that one isn't really multiplayer. Well, now the gaming nation has one more reason to keep its thumbs in  good shape: the Korean Supreme Court has ruled that online items gotted from online gaming can legally be bartered for cold hard cash.
Right, its been done before, but now that it's legal, gaming companies, players, and even the law have to put their heads together. It's good that players can unload their level 56 claymation dolls, but what if that item is stolen? What if it is lost while the player is waylaid? What if the world glitches and thousands of such items are suddenly destroyed? Since items in the offline world can collect real-world cash, players have more at stake. Server companies have more at stake. Software companies have more at stake.
Actually, this bit of news may change gaming, forever – that is if it catches on around the world. Currently limited to South Korea, the ruling is merely another 'damn thats sweet' bit of news. But if allowed to spread, ostensibly, second-life scenarios may carry as much weight as their first-life counterparts. ImagineDoctorow-esque sweatshops of game-playing labourers to create and sell wanted items, online millionaires reaping green rewards here on earth; this news is BIG.
What does this mean for iDevice gaming? Nothing yet of course, but MMO games will soon see debut on the platform thanks to developments by companies such as Com2uS (a S. Korean gaming mogul).
Prediction: the next gold rush for iDevice development? In-game crafting, shopping; the creation of virtual companies which will rule, much like their first-world models, the freakin' bloody internet! Of course, this information comes at a crucial time: when sour economies are turning to alternative methods to generate income for the rising poor.

Lake Pepin is a naturally occurring lake on the Mississippi River, spanning the 26-mile stretch from Red Wing to the Chippewa River delta. With an average width of 1.7 miles, it is the widest stretch of the entire Mississippi and covers nearly 30,000 acres. It receives drainage from four major watersheds (Minnesota River Basin, Cannon River Basin, St. Croix River Basin, and Upper Mississippi River Basin), encompassing almost half of Minnesota and parts of South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. At the end of the last glacial period, this unique natural impoundment extended even further upriver to present-day St. Paul, but sediments flowing in from upstream have been gradually decreasing the size of the lake over time. The lake is a treasured and vital natural resource, home to hundreds of aquatic plant and animal species and a globally important flyway for migratory birds. It has also become the area's economic backbone, fueling tourism and recreation industries that support communities along both sides of the lake. Click the video and read below to learn more.
Sedimentation & Eutrophication
Although sedimentation is a normal geological process, scientists have concluded that the rate of sediment supply to Lake Pepin has increased more than tenfold since the arrival of European settlers. It is now anticipated that the upper third of the lake will be unsuitable for recreation by the end of this century and the entire lake substantially filled within 340 years. Without the human-induced increase in sedimentation rates, Lake Pepin would be one meter deeper and expected to provide recreational and commercial value for another 4,000 years.
A reduction in sediment loading to Lake Pepin is critical long-term, and must be a priority. Current sedimentation rates threaten the ecological integrity and future of Lake Pepin, posing harm to aquatic and bird habitat, recreational use options, tourism, and local economies. Moreover, scientists have documented that the increased sedimentation is already creating adverse conditions for aquatic vegetation, thus threatening the fish and bird populations that depend upon lake vegetation for survival.
Lake Pepin is also threatened by excess nutrients leading to eutrophication and downstream impacts. Phosphorous is the limiting nutrient and excess input from the surrounding landscape has led to eutrophication, characterized by algae blooms that reduce light and oxygen thereby threatening animal and plant survival. It is estimated that the accumulation of phosphorus in Lake Pepin sediment has increased 15-fold since 1830. This eutrophication process is tightly linked with sedimentation because phosphorous binds to soil particles, which are transported together down the watersheds to Lake Pepin. Nitrogen input is also affecting local water quality with cascading impacts all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, where a large hypoxic area, or "dead zone", has formed at the Mississippi delta leading to environmental problems, such as fish kills.
The problem is driven by natural and human-induced processes throughout all of the major watersheds, which creates complexitiy as stakeholders collaborate on possible solutions. The Minnesota River Basin (MRB), however, is the main concern since it contributes 80-90% of the sediment accumulating in Lake Pepin. LPLA has partnered with government, academic, non-profit, and citizen stakeholders to raise awareness, increase scientific understanding, and implement projects to protect Lake Pepin. While most projects are directed at mitigating upstream sources of sediment and nutrients, LPLA is also leading management efforts to reverse current impacts already affecting the lake.
Governance & Hydrological Complexity
Action is supported by science and policy at the state and federal level. Lake Pepin and many upstream waterways have been placed on the US EPA's Impaired Waters List, established by the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). Once listed, the CWA requires scientific assessments to determine how much of a pollutant can enter a waterbody without it exceeding water quality standards. These scientific assessments, referred to as TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Loads), also identify pollution sources, allocate load reductions, and establish water quality improvement goals. They essentially serve as a diet plan for a specific waterbody exceeding water quality standards.
It seems straighforward, but the process is complicated by the fact that waterbodies-lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands-are all connected. Moreover, turbidity and eutrophication impairments are highly inter-related problems because phosphorus binds to soil particles as they travel together through the watershed. As a result, multiple TMDLs relate to the health of Lake Pepin, including: The Lake Pepin Eutrohpication TMDL (in progress) and the Upper Mississippi Turbidity TMDL. The later was completed in 2016 and requires the following sediment (TSS) reductions from contributing watersheds:
- 50% reduction from Minnesota and Cannon Rivers
- 20% reduction from the Upper Mississippi River, St. Croix and Vermillion Rivers
- 50% reduction in internal sediment loading within Lake Pepin
These sediment reduction goals, like many others outlined in state TMDLs, are highly difficult to achieve. It requires action and cooperation among diverse government, non-profit, academic, and citizen stakeholders. The MPCA must provide reasonable assurance that the load reductions are feasible, but thus far water quality progress is slow and goals are stretched out over long time scales. For example, The Le Sueur River WRAPS Report sets forth a 65% reduction of TSS over a 65 year period. Social barriers, such as jurisdictional overlap, limited project funding, low staff capacity, necessary technical expertise, and economic disincentives make achievement of such milestones and goals even more unlikely.
Due to the governance and hydrological complexity of the problem, there is no quick or easily solution to Lake Pepin's water quality woes. As such,upstream pollution and erosion mitigation is critical to long-term sustainability, but it is not an immediate panacea. Protecting Lake Pepin requires upstream mitigation and onsite water quality management via restoration.

Webcams have been in use for a long time already ever since the technology has been discovered for video communication. Still, many people don't know that they can actually buy tools for this device such as the webcam cover. Just like many cameras, the webcam is quite a fragile device in most cases which is why it's advised to get a webcam cover for it.
One of the main reasons why a webcam camera is very useful is because there are times that the camera on your computer can be remotely accessed due to malicious software, but this accessory will help on keeping your privacy. You'll also have to be careful in choosing the webcam cover that you'll buy since the one that you pick might not be fitting for your computer or device. It's also important that you choose to buy a webcam cover when you buy a new computer or laptop or any device with a built-in camera so that you won't have to worry about it any longer. Keep in mind that webcam security is not a simple matter and you should not take it for granted if you don't want to regret it later. It can be said that having a laptop camera cover is one of the most effective ways to deny access for hackers who try to use your webcam without permission. Buying a webcam cover also includes some guidelines that you may want to know first before you purchase one.
If you don't have a laptop with a camera on it, it's best to select the right camera and webcam cover for it since that would be the ideal choice. If you want to look for the different designs concerning webcam covers such as laptop camera cover, you can always use the internet for some images and information. Doing this will save you a lot of time instead of going to a computer solutions shop where the webcam cover you're looking for isn't even there.In any case, your privacy will surely be safeguarded once you have already purchased the webcam cover that you need. Some people might think that you're overreacting by doing this, but it's anything but that. You'll also have to remind yourself to not forget to cover the webcams when you are not using it since that would be a good practice in keeping your privacy safe. You can also think of the webcam cover as a safety software that you can install on your computer.
Also, you can always seek some guidance from the www.webcamcover.com professionals who are familiar with the full potential of webcam covers.

Former police Lt. Larry deFuria, fired amid allegations that he abused his police powers, won his bid Wednesday to have old misconduct charges put aside when he appeals his firing next month before the city's Employees Board of Appeals.
City Manager James Soderlund, in his decision to fire deFuria March 25, had cited deFuria's cumulative record of suspensions for various episodes of misconduct during his 15-year police career.
During a prehearing conference Wednesday, deFuria's attorneys succeeded in limiting the scope of his hearing, now scheduled for next month, to recent allegations of misconduct.

Democracy Now! takes to the streets of Washington DC to speak with protesters, who faced off against the massive security apparatus deployed in the nation's capital, as well as supporters of President Bush's second inauguration. [includes rush transcript]
Amid the massive security operation in Washington DC for the inauguration, thousands of people marched through the capital to demonstrate their opposition to a wide range of policies of the Bush administration, particularly the occupation of Iraq. Many thousands more made it onto the actual parade route and held antiwar signs. Some people turned their backs as Bush's motorcade passed by. In addition to the disruption of the inauguration just before Bush was sworn in, there was at least one other action during the ceremony. Activists from CODEPINK were detained by police after they chanted during Bush's speech. Meanwhile, in the streets outside the parade route, activists faced off against a sizable police presence. A number of times throughout the day, police fired chemical agents at demonstrators and beat people with metal whip-like canes. Democracy Now! camera crews were on the streets. Here is some of the action.
- Protesters speaking on the streets of Washington DC.
Thousands of Bush supporters were waiting in long security lines to get onto the parade grounds. In a number of cases, men in cowboy hats and women in mink fur coats were fully immersed in crowds of young activists–mainly Black Bloc–wearing bandanas on their faces. The activists forced the closure of at least 2 entry points leaving many Bush supporters out of the parade. We talked with some of these stranded Bush supporters in the streets outside of the inaugural parade.
- Supporters of President Bush speaking outside of the inaugural parade.
AMY GOODMAN: Democracy Now! camera crews were on the streets, and we talked to some of those engaged in protest.
CHARLES HOMER: My name is Charles Homer. I'm from Brandywine, Maryland, and I'm here to protest the inauguration of the war President, George Bush.
AMY GOODMAN: Why come out today? Why are you protesting?
CHARLES HOMER: I'm here because we should be working towards peace and George Bush started a war based on lies, and he wants to continue his war for defense contract money or whatever reasons he has and I'm against it.
CHARLES HOMER: George Bush is not helping to heal wounds. I think he's throwing salt in the wounds by continuing this war, and as of today 1,370 people, Americans, have been killed in Iraq, and he's calling for, you know, more troops to go over there. I say, bring 'em home.
COOKIE SMITH: I'm from Wilmington, Delaware. I'm here because I am really against Bush's policies, especially in the Iraq war, and also here at home with all of the violence and problems that are going on here at home. I think we need to concentrate on that. I think we need to come out of Iraq right away. He is saying there's not going to be a draft, but I don't believe that. I have a 23-year-old daughter, several nephews and nieces that are in that age group, and I say my daughter and my nieces and nephews can go when Barbara and Jenna go.
AMY GOODMAN: Are you with a group?
COOKIE SMITH: Turn Your Back On Bush.
AMY GOODMAN: So, you're going in to do that?
COOKIE SMITH: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: What is "Turn Your Back On Bush"? What do they do?
COOKIE SMITH: It's an organization. We're peaceful. We're non-violent. We're here to turn our back on Bush when he rides by. We are going to turn our backs, because we don't believe his policies and his — what he has done for the country for the past four years. A lot of us, we are not wealthy. We didn't get the big tax cuts. Really want to unite this nation but, you know, Bush is the not the person to do it.
ELIZABETH MCALLISTER: I'm Elizabeth McAllister, with the Joan House community in Baltimore, I'm walking today because of the obscenity that this administration is, and the coronation is part of the obscenity.
PROTESTER: We were approaching the police line, suddenly they started pepper spraying us. We got pushed from behind and we got pushed back from ahead. The cops pushed me back. They knocked my glasses off and they pepper sprayed me from right here. As then I tried to get up, they kicked me a few more times and they threw me down as I tried to get back — they must have thrown me down three or four times as I tried to get back to the other people who were going away.
NATHAN CULPITZ: I'm Nathan Culpitz, and I'm here because I'm sick of what George Bush is doing to our country.
AMY GOODMAN: Where are you from?
NATHAN CULPITZ: From New Hampshire.
AMY GOODMAN: You came from New Hampshire?
NATHAN CULPITZ: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: Why?
NATHAN CULPITZ: Because I don't like what Bush is doing and I don't support him. I just don't think that he deserves to be President of this country.
AMY GOODMAN: Some people are saying this is a day when everyone should come together. It's the inauguration of everyone's President.
NATHAN CULPITZ: I agree, I think we should come together against the President. We're together but not together for the President.
AMY GOODMAN: Hi, and who are you?
MR. CULPITZ: I'm his father.
AMY GOODMAN: Yes.
MR. CULPITZ: I brought him down for his birthday. I'm so furious because they won't let us in to see the inauguration because we have these un-American backpacks.
AMY GOODMAN: Did you have tickets?
MR. CULPITZ: I didn't know you needed tickets. I thought it was a public event.
PROTESTER: We have backpacks with food and clothing in them and they won't let us in because we have backpacks.
PROTESTER: During the inauguration period there was a senior citizen standing in front of us. She had a sign and she couldn't see and she was obviously tired and wanted to sit down. There was a small place where people with tickets were being let in, and woman said, okay, now, any senior citizens or young children who don't have tickets can come in, and when the old lady asked to go in, she said, "You have to get rid of the sign."
AMY GOODMAN: What did the sign say?
PROTESTER: The sign had a picture of Bush and Cheney behind bars, and it said, "I have a dream".
AMY GOODMAN: Just some of the voices of protest in the streets of Washington, D.C. on this Inauguration, 2005. As other activists faced off against police in the streets, thousands of Bush supporters were waiting in long security lines to get into the parade grounds. In a number of cases, men in cowboy hats and women in mink fur coats were fully immersed in crowds of young activists wearing bandanas on their faces. The activists forced the closure of at least two entry points leaving many Bush supporters out of the parade. We talked with some of those stranded Bush supporters in the streets outside the inaugural procession route.
PAT ROAN: I am Pat Roan. I'm from Dallas, Texas. I love Bush. I love his family, and I love America.
AMY GOODMAN: And do you know his family?
PAT ROAN: Actually, they go to our church. And — in Dallas at Highland Park Methodist, and occasionally when Laura is in Dallas, she comes and sits right in front of us.
AMY GOODMAN: What do you like about President Bush?
BUSH SUPPORTER: I like his beliefs. I like his policies, and I think he's a truly honest man, and I think he's going to lead our country into a better role in the world — and the world into a better world.
AMY GOODMAN: What was his message today?
BUSH SUPPORTER: His message today, I think, was about freedom and bringing freedom to the world.
AMY GOODMAN: And how was the inauguration?
MATT: Fantastic. What a patriotic day.
AMY GOODMAN: And what do you most like about President Bush?
MATT: His faith-valued ways to run the — United States, and all of the things that he is doing. Obviously, we have to break into a war to make some right things happen. I think a lot of people demonstrating do not understand what's going on in Iraq. And if they understood, they would understand why we are there.
AMY GOODMAN: Why are we there?
MATT: To clean up a dynasty of Hussein. He was dominating and killing everybody and a lot of folks don't fully understand that.
AMY GOODMAN: Are you concerned about the service men and women who are coming home in body bags, wounded.
MATT: Absolutely. I mean that's just the cost of national and worldwide freedom, so… That's a definite — that has to happen.
AMY GOODMAN: What's your name?
MATT: Matt.
AMY GOODMAN: And what's your name?
JOHN: John.
AMY GOODMAN: Where are you from?
JOHN: Indianapolis as well.
AMY GOODMAN: What did you think of the inauguration.
JOHN: Fabulous display of democracy in this world.
AMY GOODMAN: What is the issue that is most important to you?
JOHN: World peace, and you get world peace by doing away with people that don't want peace. And if you don't show strength through what we stand for, then somebody else is going to be stronger and has to take us over. So, we have to show our strength and put our foot down and do away with tyranny.
AMY GOODMAN: You said do away with people who don't want peace, what do you mean by that.
JOHN: People like Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, the dictators of the world that are more interested in their own greed and power than allowing people to have their freedom and peace in this world.
VIVIAN HUDSON: We have enjoyed it very much. We're very pleased with George Bush winning, very, very pleased.
AMY GOODMAN: What was his message?
VIVIAN HUDSON: His message was: "Ownership of society for everybody." Everybody in this country is going to own their part of the American dream.
AMY GOODMAN: Where are from you?
VIVIAN HUDSON: I am from Cuba, and I own a part of the American dream, because instead of fooling around, I work hard, and I made it.
AMY GOODMAN: What do you think of the protest here today?
VIVIAN HUDSON: I think they are entitled, because that's what America is about. You know, everybody has freedom of speech.
AMY GOODMAN: Thank you. Your name?
VIVIAN HUDSON: Vivian Hudson.
AMY GOODMAN: Thank you.
AMY GOODMAN: For soldiers who come back and say it's wrong, and for the poll that just said that most people actually think the Iraq invasion was wrong, the situation is bad now in Iraq, what do you say?
BUSH SUPPORTER: I disagree because I think that the people, especially the women there are much better off than they were before. And I think we did make some mistakes, but I think President Bush is admitting what he has done wrong. Maybe a little bit — he was a little bit ahead of himself on some things, but overall, I think he is a good man. He is a fabulous person, and they don't understand. He has got a good heart.
AMY GOODMAN: Hi. How did you enjoy the inauguration?
LINDA WORDEN: Just fine. This is the first chance to support the troops. I enjoyed it immensely. I was here four years ago and It was drizzling. So, this is much better weather.
AMY GOODMAN: Where are you from?
LINDA WORDEN: Rhode island.
AMY GOODMAN: What was President Bush's message?
LINDA WORDEN: President Bush's message is that we're going to stay on track with the war in Iraq. It's our duty and obligation to help other people that are not as free as we are.
AMY GOODMAN: And how do you feel about the protests?
LINDA WORDEN: They have a right to do it. They did get out of hand. They were throwing things at people. I did exchange a few words with some persons, totally on a philosophical point of view. We weren't arguing or anything. They have a right to do it.
AMY GOODMAN: What do you think of people protesting war and saying support our troops, bring them home?
LINDA WORDEN: You're not supporting the troops by protesting the war. If you are protesting the war, you're not supporting the troops because you're not sticking up for what the troops are doing or what the troops believe in. All the media talks about are the one or two that are dissenting, but the majority of the troops over there are not dissenting with the President, and they feel good about what they're doing over there. They feel they're accomplishing something for the Iraqi people.
AMY GOODMAN: And do you know anyone there?
LINDA WORDEN: My son.
AMY GOODMAN: Where is he?
LINDA WORDEN: He's in Baghdad.
AMY GOODMAN: How long has he been there?
LINDA WORDEN: He has been there since last March.
AMY GOODMAN: How is it for him now?
LINDA WORDEN: He constantly calls me or writes me and says things are going well. He did call me and say that they have stepped things up, and — but he feels good about what he is doing. Because he sees the people in Iraq. He trains the Iraqi National Guard. So, he knows that he's doing something good for their country.
AMY GOODMAN: What's your name?
LINDA WORDEN: Linda Worden.
AMY GOODMAN: What's his name?
LINDA WORDEN: Gregory.

IT ALL STARTED when Dan Parsons typed the keywords "buy narcotics" into the MSN search engine. Parsons, vice president of the Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston, was surfing the Web last October when he decided to do a little investigating into whether it was possible to buy drugs online without a prescription. Moments after entering his request the search engine returned with a list of more than 19,000 responses, most containing links to law enforcement and anti-drug sites.

Monteverdi's Ulysses comes home to the Roundhouse in a new ROH production
04 January, 2018 — By Matthew Horne
A new production of The Return of Ulysses by Monteverdi (inset) opens at the Roundhouse on January 10
The Royal Opera returns to the Roundhouse this month to stage a new production of Claudio Monteverdi's Renaissance masterpiece The Return of Ulysses, one of only three surviving operas by the Italian composer.
The opera is performed in English in a translation by Christopher Cowell.
The Greek legend tells the story of Ulysses, King of Ithaca, who on returning from fighting in the Trojan War finds the island is not as he left it, and the place he once called home has been changed by the impact of migration and its ensuing tensions. Director John Fulljames' production explores the reality of homecoming and gives the epic tale a contemporary resonance.
The cast of singers assembled by The Royal Opera is led by English baritone Roderick Williams as Ulysses and English mezzo-soprano Christine Rice as his wife Penelope.
Taking full advantage of the Roundhouse's 360 degree space, the action is staged "in-the-round", with performers facing the audience in all directions. At the centre will be conductor and early music specialist Christian Curnyn, who directs musicians from the Early Opera Company.
The production also features 40 singers from the Royal Opera House Thurrock Community Chorus and Roundhouse community, giving them the opportunity to perform on the Roundhouse stage alongside professional musicians.
The new production of The Return of Ulysses follows the previous collaboration between The Royal Opera and the Roundhouse in 2015, when Monteverdi's Orfeo was staged at the Camden venue.
• The Return of Ulysses opens at the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, NW1, on January 10, with further performances on January 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 21. Tickets are available from the Royal Opera House and the Roundhouse:
• Royal Opera House, 020 7304 4000, www.roh.org.uk/productions/the-return-of-ulysses-by-john-fulljames
• Roundhouse, 0300 6789 222, www.roundhouse.org.uk/whats-on/list

Anthony J. Â?Tony RubeÂ? Paczkowski, 52, of North Liberty, passed away at 1:10 a.m. Thursday, September 21, 2006, in the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, after a three-year battle with Cancer.
Anthony was born on December 12, 1953, in South Bend, to Alexander and Lokadia (Szcsccino) Paczkowski. Both have preceded him in death.
On February 16, 1974, Anthony married Marie Wawrzyniak. She survives, along with their daughters, Toni (Vincent) Niedbalski, and Jamie Miller; grandchildren, Patrick Â?P.J.Â? Miller III, Mallory Niedbalski, and Paige Miller; sister, Helen Â?HalinaÂ? (David) Hoffman; and brother, Michael (Sandra) Paczkowski.
Anthony was a journeyman roofer and foreman for Midland Engineering before retiring in 2003, and belonged to the Roofers Local 23 for over 30 years. He was a member of St. Hedwig Catholic Church and his passion was for his many hobbies and especially for Harley Davidson Motorcycles. One of his greatest joys was the fun he had with his grandchildren.

Hunter, William. Anatomia uteri humani gravidi tabulis illustrata. London: Printed for the Sydenham Society, 1851.
Originally published in 1774, our copy is a 19th century reprint that includes English translation of the text.
The engravings by the Dutch-born illustrator Jan van Rymsdyk are beautiful and - to my eye - unsettling.
"PLATE VI. This represents the child in the womb, in its natural situation...Every part is represented just as it was found; not so much as one joint of a finger having been moved to show any part more distinctly, or to give a more picturesque effect."
Plate XII is one of two images of a subject that was described as having died from a fatal "flooding" or hemorrhage during childbirth. The caption points to "The external lobulated surface of the lower part of the placenta; which had originally stuck to the inside of the neck and mouth of the womb; but as parturition approached, the dilation of these parts occasioned a separation, which was necessarily followed by an hemorrhage."
The narrative details give the subjects a haunting concreteness.

User defined runtime attributes are the hidden gem of Xcode's Interface Builder. Available since Xcode 4 and iOS 5, they provide the ability to configure properties of a view that you would otherwise be unable to configure in Interface Builder.
As an advocate for the separation of concerns, I believe we should do in Interface Builder as much interface configuration as possible. Although runtime attributes are often overlooked, they can lead to much cleaner view controller code – something we can all benefit from.
User defined runtime attributes are set from the Identity Inspector tab in Interface Builder's utilities, as shown below.
They are defined as a set of key path/value pairs where the view must be Key Value Coding-compliant for each of the given key paths.
Attribute Types
Below is a list of the available attribute types and the corresponding property type.
- Boolean – BOOL
- Number – NSNumber * or any numeric scalar, e.g. NSInteger
- String – NSString *
- Point – CGPoint
- Size – CGSize
- Rect – CGRect
- Range – NSRange
- Color – UIColor *
There are also the following special types:
- Nil – this special type doesn't allow you to set a value, it is just a way of specifying that the property should be set to nil
- Localized String – the value here is a key to look up in the strings file for the current locale, the property is set to the corresponding localized string
Simple Examples
Configuring a view's underlying CALayer is not possible in Interface Builder's Attributes Inspector. But with runtime attributes we can easily give the view a border and rounded corners by setting the layer.borderWidth and layer.cornerRadius key paths, as shown below.
Configuring a custom control has never been easier! For example, if you create your own range slider (like a UISlider but with two thumbs to specify a minimum and maximum value in a range), and add it to a view in Interface Builder, then you can configure it as follows to avoid cluttering the view controller with unnecessary view configuration code.
Converting From Other Types
Any attribute type can be used to configure a property of another type as long as the type is represented in the same way. For example Point and Size can be used interchangeably, but they can also be used to represent a property of type CGVector, because the underlying structure is the same (i.e. two floating point numbers).
But you can also use another little trick to configure a property of a type otherwise unsupported by Interface Builder. For example, continuing on from configuring a view's underlying CALayer, you may wish to set the border colour or shadow colour. This isn't directly supported using runtime attributes, because these properties are of type CGColorRef. But consider the following example:
In order to make CALayer KVC-compliant for the property borderColorFromUIColor, simply implement the setter for the property. This can be done in a category on CALayer as follows:
@implementation CALayer (Additions)
- (void)setBorderColorFromUIColor:(UIColor *)color
self.borderColor = color.CGColor;
Convert From String
It is often useful to convert from a string to another type. For example, configuring a property of type UIEdgeInsets isn't directly supported by runtime attributes, but consider the following category:
@implementation UIScrollView (Additions)
- (void)setContentInsetFromString:(NSString *)contentInsetString
self.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsFromString(contentInsetString);
It's particularly easy to convert from a string to UIEdgeInsets type, because of the nice UIEdgeInsetsFromString method provided by UIKit. But you could define your own method to convert from a string to any other type you can think of. Get creative!
More Advanced Uses
Often it is useful to be able to set some attributes of a view where the attribute doesn't have a corresponding property on the view.
Imagine a scenario where you have various UIView views within a view controller. You want to use UIKit Dynamics to make each view drop to the bottom of the screen and bounce. And you want to define how high it should bounce in Interface Builder, because after all, you are building the interface!
Consider the following setup for runtime attributes on a UIView.
UIView is not KVC-compliant for the key path elasticity. And an exception will be raised if you run the app now. But you can change this by defining a category on UIView with the property elasticity (see category properties).
Now you can use this property when you configure the UIDynamicItemBehavior in your view controller. This is nice because it means you don't have to have logic in your view controller for each view individually. Your view controller only needs to know about a collection of views (i.e. IBOutletCollection). The specific configuration of each is done in Interface Builder, where it belongs.
for (UILabel *label in self.labels) {
UIDynamicItemBehavior *itemBehavior = [[UIDynamicItemBehavior alloc] initWithItems:@[label]];
[self.animator addBehavior:itemBehavior];
itemBehavior.elasticity = label.elasticity;
I think this is the right way to configure a user interface. Given that we have Interface Builder, we should use it to its full potential. But… there's always a "but" isn't there?
Many people wouldn't think to look in Interface Builder at the user defined runtime attributes, so they could be left very puzzled if they come to maintain your code at a later date. They could spend hours trying to figure out why a view has a border, and resort to overriding it in the view controller just to remove it.
So like anything of this nature — and by that I mean a more-advanced use of a programming language or development environment — we should use it with caution. Use it only if it is necessary and simplifies logic elsewhere in your code.
Setting up a view in a view controller isn't necessarily messy. The most valid reason for using user-defined runtime attributes is to configure a view differently whether the Interface Builder file is for iPhone or iPad. Because you already have a separate nib or storyboard file specifically for each device, that should be the place that you do any device-specific configuration.
There are plenty of other uses for runtime attributes. I'd be keen to hear any creative examples you have thought of and I'd be happy to discuss the pros and cons at greater length, so please comment!

Next time you are near a mirror, smile and take a good look at your teeth. How long has it been since your last dental exam? If it has been more than a year, or even six months, it is time for another checkup.
Healthy teeth mean more than just a pretty smile. Taking care of your teeth keeps bacteria and plaque from building up and affecting your overall health. Science shows poor oral health is linked to other chronic health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. Research is ongoing to understand the link between oral health, inflammation in the body, and disease. But good oral hygiene definitely ranks with exercise and healthy eating as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Many in Thurston County cannot afford dental care. One in four adults in Thurston County lacks insurance coverage for dental care. Unfortunately, the number of people in need of care is growing and resources are limited.
To address some of this need, the Thurston County Dental Access Network (tmcdental.org/tcdan.html), a coalition of concerned volunteer dental professionals, and the Olympia Union Gospel Mission's free dental clinic (ougm.org/dentalClinic.htm) provide dental services to those without access to other care. Limited low-cost care also is available from the Sea Mar Community Health Center dental clinics in Lacey and Tumwater, and the South Puget Sound Community College dental assisting clinic. And Choice Regional Health Network administers the Access to Baby and Child Dentistry program for Medicaid-eligible children under the age of 6 (crhn.org/GetHelp/gethelp.html).
Make sure children in your life are on track for a future of good dental health. They should be brushing twice a day and flossing between their teeth once a day. For babies, the arrival of the first tooth is a good time to schedule their first visit to the dentist. For school-aged children, pediatricians and dentists recommend fluoride sealants and fluoride supplements to prevent tooth decay, since water utilities in Thurston County do not fluoridate the water supply.
Getting your children on a path to good oral hygiene habits is easy. Select a colorful toothbrush; play music; make it fun. Brush your teeth together. Kids model what they see.
If you have avoided dental care because of anxiety about sitting in a dentist's chair, there are many good reasons to try again. Improved tools such as ultrasonic tooth cleaners, better-flavored toothpastes, and other patient-focused developments such as sedation dentistry can make your experience more pleasant.
If you use a dental rinse or mouthwash, consider using one with natural ingredients that do not contain parabens (synthetic preservatives) or artificial colors. There are many natural dental care products on the market today that are readily available at your supermarket or food co-op.
Dental care is one of those investments that pays big dividends in your physical and emotional well-being, and routine care can prevent painful procedures in the future. Do not put off getting your teeth examined, cleaned, and cared for. Get out the toothpaste and floss, and make healthy teeth a part of your daily life.

Next Episode of The Layover is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Proving that layovers are opportunities for travelers to mingle with locals, crash parties, dine on local cuisine, and explore cultures, this new weekly series gives No Reservations' foodie-traveler extraordinaire Anthony Bourdain just 24-48 hours to hit the "must see" places, people and foods. From New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami to Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Rome, Montreal and Amsterdam, he will provide viewers with insider tips that only the most seasoned travelers would know.
Anthony Bourdain heads to the "ATL" where he cruises around in a muscle car, shoots guns and experiences the famed 10 o'clock burger at Holeman & Finch. He wraps up his trip at the legendary adults-only Clermont Lounge.
In Taipei, Anthony Bourdain visits the second-tallest building in the world. There he discovers pork carved out of jade, learns he can't have a plan in a bar scuffle and sees why scantily-clad women attend funerals.
In New Orleans, the town of excess, Tony indulges in fresh seafood, drinks Sazerac with Davis Rogan, hits The Kingpin and finishes off his bar crawl with tacos from one of the nation's top 20 food trucks.
Who doesn't love a layover in Seattle? Bourdain indulges in runny and smelly cheeses at Calf and Kid, checks out the aerial view of the city from a seaplane and gets a not-so-family-friendly tour of Seattle's historical underbelly.

text: BERLIN (Reuters) – Bayern Munich will look to Sunday's Bundesliga fixture against Hertha Berlin for a pick-me-up following their 3-0 Champions League loss to Paris St Germain as pressure continues to mount on coach Carlo Ancelotti. The German champions have failed to impress this season and sit third in the league after six games, three points off undefeated leaders Borussia Dortmund. They threw away a two-goal lead against VfL Wolfsburg last week to draw 2-2. The Bavarians know they must deliver on Sunday and avoid another slip-up ahead of the international break, and club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said it was time for the real Bayern Munich to put in an appearance. "It is now important that we turn this around and present ourselves as Bayern again," he said after Wednesday's European defeat. "We have to show that we are a team that caused waves in the past seasons, both in Europe and domestically, and we have to pick up where we left off. "It was a bitter defeat that needs to be discussed and analysed and clearly there will be consequences. What we saw was not Bayern." Bayern, who have won the last five league titles and lifted the Champions League trophy in 2013, are far from the dominant team of past seasons. With a porous defence, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer out injured for months and an oft-changed side that has still to fire on all cylinders, Ancelotti must show he knows how to fix things when they face Hertha. Ancelotti's decision to leave both Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben on the bench on Wednesday is unlikely to be repeated as they will be looking for goals in Berlin. Hertha, in action in the Europa League later on Thursday, have won only one of their previous four matches and sit in eighth place on eight points but are undefeated at home this season with two wins and a draw. Dortmund, who also suffered a midweek loss in the Champions League — 3-1 to Real Madrid — travel on Saturday to Augsburg, one of the pre-season relegation candidates who have defied the odds so far having won half their matches to sit in fifth.(Reporting by Karolos Grohmann; Editing by Peter Rutherford)

Gorey, Edward
Gorey, Edward, 1925–2000, American illustrator and writer, b. Chicago, grad Harvard. He lived and worked in New York City and Cape Cod until 1986 when he moved permanently to the Cape. Gorey is celebrated for his more than 100 small volumes of gothic fables, meticulously hand-lettered and intricately illustrated, most of them in verse. His works are remarkable combinations of the eccentric, the witty, and the macabre and are illustrated lavishly and with superb technique in dark and abundant Edwardian detail. Odd, mysterious, cool, oblique, and very funny, Gorey's works have a completely unique appeal. Many of his early books, published in small editions, have become collector's items they include The Unstrung Harp (1953) and The Object-Lesson (1958). His later single works include The Awdrey-Gore Legacy (1972), a spoof on English murder mysteries The Lavender Leotard (1973), concerning ballet Amphigorey (1975) Amphigorey Too (1980) Amphigorey Also (1983) and The Eclectic Abecedarium (1985).

Board a 24-foot Zodiac boat powered by twin 115HP engines with a maximum capacity of 15 passengers. This vessel is zippy and maneuverable but at the same time very safe and seaworthy. Your experienced Captain also serves as your tour guide. Head out in search of the migrating whales visiting the waters off Cabo. The Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean host numerous whale species each season including humpbacks, grays, as well as the more elusive blues whales and occasional pods of dolphin and orcas.
Once a whale is spotted, your boat will get you there quickly and quietly without disturbing the whales. Keep those cameras handy, you'll want to record your experience of a lifetime before you head back to the pier. There will be time for you to do some sightseeing as your boat cruises by Land's End for a good view of the Arch, the sea lion colony and Lover's Beach.

I ran a restore program into my ACER Aspire but it froze in program can't turn off by power button, reboot but on reconnect the same pitcure appears. I have no mouse control to leave the program. joseph long
Desktop or laptop?
'restore program' - what restore program? Windows 7 System Restore? A Factory Restore? Some other program that is supposedly does some type of restore?
What Picture?
If running System Restore or a Factory Restore, it can be dangerous to force it to shut down? It may not boot up again without a repair install or at least a start up repair.
On most systems, you can force a shut down by holding down the start button for approx. 10 seconds, but be sure that the 'restore' is really frozen and not just working in the background (it may take a while,depending on your system).
Reply with answers and your model number.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
I've got to step out a short. My system is desk top. I believe I send through a factory restore ACER Aspire 5500 I think I'm not home Thanks wallplug
I'm back, joe
What is a repair install. What money am I looking at. wallplug
Repair install is a procedure but to use it you need a Windows 7 disk.
Here's the link I intended to post:
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Please describe in detail what you did and what the problem was that led you to try that as well as what the state of the computer is right now. Tell us if you have a back up of your files that are on that computer. Tell us if you have any type of Windows 7 install or recovery disk. Tell us if you made a Windows 7 Repair Disk (from the back up section in Windows 7). Tell us if you made a disk image when it was working properly (unlikely, but great if you did).
These are important in helping you get your system back up and running.
Edit: Are you sure of the model number, that appears to be a Laptop system. Please versify and elaborate. A laptop is a one piece foldable portable computer. A Desktop is a separate computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. An All-In-One is the alternative where the computer is built in to the monitor and only the keyboard and mouse are separate, but it is for fixed location use like a Desktop system.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
I've had a knee replacement surgey since last here. My system is ACER Aspire AX3400G-U4802 desk top. The program I ran was obtained in the installed on broad system. I had to go into computer's installed restore. Did not make disc image. computer stuck saying setup is starting services. Have no mouse control except to hit ok in the windows install bracket.
HaveACER Aspire AX3400G-U4802 been ill, I'm back. Desktop wallplug
did not make dicc image wallplug
Been sick, I'm back. Desktop, ACER AspireAx3400G-U4802, Stuck in a restore process from on broad computer system program. The install windows bracket say's...windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation. Below the bracket it says setup is starting services. This is where the program is froze The only mouse control I have is hitting OK in the install windows bracket.. wallplug
If had these disc I could not start the play back because I don't have any control. wallplug
Do 1, 2 & 3 in sequence:
1. Unplug the power.
Remove the main battery.
3. Hold the power off/on button in for about 20 seconds.
Put it all back together andsee if that helps.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Relax a bit. If someone does not answer you for a while, give it some time. We are all unpaid at this and have other things to do, including normal jobs.
#12 above assumes you have a laptop BUT you said you have a desktop so to modify it:
Just hold down the power button for about 20 seconds. That should shut it down. Wait a minute and try to restart it.
Before going further on your failed restore, PLEASE explain what the restore you used is. Anything other than the built in System Restore (rolls back the system to a prior time/date) and a Factory Restore from the factory installed Recovery Console (see system manual) or a Recovery Disk Set that you can get from the manufacturer of your system (Thse wipe the hard drive and returns it to the way they shipped it from the factory) should be avoided. Nothing else should be used for recovery/restore unless you are restoring a disk image made by another program (though I recommend using the built in feature for this as well).
If we can understand better what you did and what prompted you to try it in the first place, we can then suggest the best course of action for you.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Thanks - not sure what made me assume a lappy.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
