CA4: No QI for arrest w/o PC and pft held for 80 days; lack of PC was obvious
Posted on February 5, 2017 by Hall
Plaintiff was held for 80 days on an arrest utterly without probable cause, and the officer has no qualified immunity. Smith v. Munday, 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 1975 (4th Cir. Feb. 3, 2017):
When applying for an arrest warrant, Munday simply did not have enough information for any reasonable or prudent person to believe there was probable cause. He lacked any information connecting Smith's conduct to the contours of the offense, and certainly lacked enough evidence to create any inference more than mere suspicion.
Of the offense, Munday knew only that Lynch, a confidential informant used by members of the police department before but new to him, said "April Smith," a skinny, black woman, sold him crack cocaine. He did not know if she had been convicted for selling crack cocaine before or if she lived in the county.
But to find the offender, Munday merely ran a broad search in the department's database of individuals with criminal histories, looking for a woman of the same name. And when he found multiple individuals, at least two of whom were black women named April Smith weighing between 130 and 140 pounds, he chose one for no immediately apparent reason.
A warrant is so deficient in indicia of probable cause when it has an "error that is apparent from a 'simple glance' at the face of the warrant itself, not a defect that would 'become apparent only upon a close parsing of the warrant application.'" Armstrong v. Asselin, 734 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2013) (quoting Messerschmidt, 132 S. Ct. at 1250). And here, even a glance shows that Munday was unreasonable if he believed he had probable cause. Smith did have a criminal history for possessing and selling cocaine. But as discussed above, Munday had no evidence about her conduct whatsoever, let alone any evidence connecting her to the crime in question. It would be unreasonable for any officer to view Munday's dearth of evidence as sufficient to establish probable cause. As a result, qualified immunity does not apply.
When the Supreme Court established this reasonableness standard, it articulated why the law should hold officers accountable for unreasonable warrant applications:
True, an officer who knows that objectively unreasonable decisions will be actionable may be motivated to reflect, before submitting a request for a warrant, upon whether he has a reasonable basis for believing that his affidavit establishes probable cause. But such reflection is desirable, because it reduces the likelihood that the officer's request for a warrant will be premature. Premature requests for warrants are at best a waste of judicial resources; at worst, they lead to premature arrests, which may injure the innocent or, by giving the basis for a suppression motion, benefit the guilty.
Malley, 475 U.S. at 343-44. Those very same reasons are equally applicable here. The warrant issued in this case was wholly unreasonable. And the premature, or simply insufficient, request for a warrant in this case resulted in Smith's eighty-day incarceration under threat of prosecution and alleged loss of her job. Had Munday more carefully reflected on his warrant application, perhaps these injuries could have been avoided.

Brown said students ages 13 to 18 can spend a day at the Statehouse in Indianapolis assisting House legislators and staff, watching debate, and touring the governor's office, the Indiana Supreme Court, and the House and Senate chambers.
"Paging is a fun and exciting way to learn more about the legislative process," Brown said. "Younger generations need to be exposed to the democratic system, especially since they are our future leaders. I hope to welcome many local students to the Statehouse this session."
According to Brown, student pages receive an excused absence from school and groups can participate together.
He said students are responsible for their own lunch expenses and transportation to and from the Statehouse. Opportunities to serve as a page include Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session, which kicked off Jan. 6 and must conclude by March 14.
For more information and to sign up, visit IndianaHouseRepublicans.com/PageProgram or call 800-382-9841. With limited openings, students are encouraged to apply soon.

Olszewski Announces Package of Reforms to Improve Ethics and Accountability
Jan 31, 2019 11:53:00 AM EST
Reforms include public campaign financing and the creation of the Office of Ethics and accountability
County Executive Johnny Olszewski today proposed a package of reforms intended to improve accountability in county government and strengthen ethical standards. The proposed reforms, which must be approved by the County Council, include:
Public financing of campaigns: Charter amendment for the ballot in 2020
Creating an Office of Ethics and Accountability to audit, inspect, evaluate and investigate government operations in order to promote economy and efficiency and to prevent fraud, waste and abuse
Prohibiting certain county officials from lobbying county government for a period of one year following termination of employment
Posting all lobbyist registrations online and streamlining the definition of a lobbyist so the same standards apply to those who lobby the executive and legislative branches
"Baltimore County residents put their trust and confidence in their local government to be good stewards of their tax dollars and deliver high quality services. They deserve a government that is held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability," Olszewski said.
The public financing Charter Amendment, which will require voter approval in 2020, would create a system for public financing for candidates running for county council and county executive. The program would be voluntary, with candidates having the ability to opt in.
"All public officials should be held to the highest ethical standards, and our county's residents deserve a government that they can hold accountable. These proposals will go a long way toward achieving that end," Council Chair Tom Quirk said.
"Good government should concern people of all political parties, and I commend County Executive Olszewski for this comprehensive approach. I am particularly interested in the concept of public financing for campaigns," Councilman David Marks said. "The voters deserve the opportunity to decide this charter change in the 2020 election."
The Office of Ethics and Accountability would provide increased accountability and oversight of county government by working to identify any fraud, abuse or illegal acts. The independent office would have autonomy from the county executive and county council, with an executive director appointed by the county executive and confirmed by the council by a vote of majority plus one. The proposal gives clear authority for the office to gain unrestricted access to records and information needed to conduct investigations. The Ethics Commission, now housed under the Office of Law, would be moved to the new Office of Ethics and Accountability.
Under current law, the definition of a lobbyist is different for those who lobby the executive branch than those who lobby the legislative branch. The proposal will create one uniform standard. In addition, the proposal strengthens the "revolving door" restrictions. Current law prohibits former county employees from lobbying on matters in which they "participated significantly." The proposal will add a restriction on any county lobbying for a former County Administrative Officer or department head for a period of one year after their employment ends.
The proposals will be introduced to the County Council on February 19. The public financing charter amendment will require at least five votes – a majority plus one – in order to be added to the 2020 ballot.
Fact Sheet: Better Government for a Better Baltimore County
Citizens' Election Fund System
County Executive Olszewski is proposing a Charter Amendment to establish a public financing program for the offices of County Council and County Executive.
Similar to systems adopted by Montgomery County, Howard County, and Prince George's County, this system aims to reduce the role of large private contributions and encourage individual small donor donations.
The program would allow candidates the ability to participate in an optional program that would provide matching County funds based on eligible contributions.
The bill does not establish complete details of the program, instead empowering voters to provide input in determining the final program. The Amendment would be included on the 2020 ballot.
Office of Ethics and Accountability
County Executive Olszewski is introducing a bill to establish the Office of Ethics and Accountability to provide increased accountability, accountability, and oversight in the operations of County government.
The Office would exist independently from the offices of the County Executive and County Council and would have unrestricted access to records and information, ensuring the Office can fully investigate claims of fraud, abuse, and illegal acts within any part of County government.
The Executive Director position of this new office would serve in a capacity similar to an Inspector General and would be appointed by the County Executive and confirmed by the County Council.
The Office would publish a yearly report documenting investigations and efforts throughout the year.
This office would be included in the County Executive's FY20 budget with plans to have Office in place by July 1, 2019.
Lobbying Reform
County Executive Olszewski is proposing policies to strengthen the County's lobbying statutes, including:
Broadening the definition of lobbying to include both monetary and legislative lobbying.
Requiring lobbying registrations to be posted online for public review.
Introducing a "cooling-off period," barring former County Administrative Officers or County Department Heads from lobbying Baltimore County for a period of one year following the employee's termination.
Empowering the County Administrative Officer to expand staff required to receive County ethics training.
Requiring public officials required to receive ethics training to also file financial disclosure statements.
Celebrate Black History Month with Benjamin Banneker – America's First Black Man of Science
Jan 31, 2019 9:00:00 AM EST
By Melanie Dance
Naturalist/Director, Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum
I remember my first day working at Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum and how much I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the heart of Benjamin Banneker, the man, the scientist and historical icon. I continue to discover more and more about his inspirational life and the amazing character of this man. I love how his story continues to affect so many people in our community.
The park is in the heart of Oella, between Catonsville and Ellicott City, at the exact location of Banneker's homestead. The museum and historical park are rich in historical significance for the African American community, as Banneker is widely regarded as America's first black man of science. He was born a free man in Maryland on November 9, 1731, and lived on his homestead from 1737 until his death in 1806.
Banneker was a mostly self-taught astronomer, almanac writer, mathematician, surveyor and naturalist. Some of his countless achievements included building a working clock after examining a friend's pocket watch, assisting in the survey of a segment of our new capital, Washington D.C., and publishing an almanac for six years. A landowner and farmer, his perseverance and use of reverse engineering principles enabled him to design and build one of the first American-made all-wooden clocks, and it is said to have kept perfect time.
Banneker had a zeal for learning and was often found caring for his orchard and honeybees, playing his violin and flute, or observing the night sky. Banneker corresponded with Thomas Jefferson in 1791, and denounced the injustices of slavery. He also sent to Jefferson, then Secretary of State, a copy of his almanac to prove the equality of the races.
Immerse yourself in his story
I hope you will come enjoy yourself at Baltimore County's historical gem of a park this February as we celebrate Banneker's legacy throughout Black History Month! We'll kick off our celebration by honoring Oney Judge on Saturday, February 2nd.
February 2nd from 1:30-2:30 pm Black History Month Celebrates Oney Judge
Nastassia Parker-Gross, a historical re-enactor, will portray Oney Judge who was born in 1773 on George Washington's plantation, Mount Vernon. Upon hearing that she would be sold to Mrs. Washington's granddaughter as a wedding gift, Judge ran away. Come to Banneker Museum and listen to her story, documented by several 19th century newspapers. Learn about the trials and tribulations she encountered while traveling on the path to freedom and independence. Sponsored by the Benjamin Banneker Foundation.Free – Donations appreciated. Registration Recommended (Adults and Children Welcome) – Light Refreshments Served. Silent Auction Available
February 9th from 1-3 p.m.; African American Firsts in Baltimore County

Learn about the history of maple sugaring, help tap a tree, and taste the sticky treat for yourself! All ages; $3 person/ $10 family
Help us advance our mission
I have been deeply inspired, both by Banneker's life, and by the many people that have invested so much energy to share his homestead and legacy. More recently, it was such a privilege to gather at the museum with the dedicated community of staff and volunteers as we formulated our mission and vision for the future of Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum - to engage and inspire our visitors and community by connecting them to Benjamin Banneker's life, contributions, and his land. Join us in our mission of spreading the word about this amazing man of sciences. By 2025, we plan to:
Become a widely recognized resource for Banneker's living history and its significance to our community.
Enhance and unify the enriching and educational experience for park and museum visitors to enjoy.
Serve as a hub for developing future scientists, historians, and stewards of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Expand out partnerships to attract more resources to fulfill our mission.
Please visit our website and come join us in spotlighting this exceptional man and his legacy.

Don't Get Caught out in the Cold!
Jan 30, 2019 2:39:00 PM EST
By Della Leister, R.N.
Deputy Health Officer
Maryland has been hit by some pretty frigid temperatures this winter. They've often been followed by warming trends that leave many of us longing for an early spring. But we must be mindful that there is still quite a bit of winter left to go. These reminders will help you be prepared for whatever comes our way while we anxiously await a spring thaw.
Avoid prolonged exposure to the weather. Dress warmly and in layers; stay dry; and don't forget about Fido! Make sure all of your pets are protected from the extreme weather.
Don't overdo the shoveling
Anyone diagnosed with heart disease or chronic lung disease should not shovel snow. Shoveling is manual labor and it's hard on the heart muscles and can cause a cardiac event. Ask a friend, neighbor or relative, or hire someone to clear your sidewalk and driveway.
Be careful of downed power lines. The added weight from snow and ice often result in downed power lines. Remember that downed lines can still be live lines and are extremely dangerous. Call your local utility company immediately to report downed lines.
Stay safe if the power goes out. Winter ice and winds can cause power outages. When this happens some of us turn to generators to keep warm. Generators produce the deadly gas, carbon monoxide (CO). Be sure to keep your generator at least 15 feet from the house or building and follow the manufacturer's recommendations carefully. For those who have gas stoves and ovens, never use an oven to heat your home.
Make sure your car is winter travel ready. This includes the vehicles exterior (tires, wipers, mirrors) and interior (heat, radio, defrost). Also, keep a winter kit in the car for unforeseen emergencies.
Weatherproof your home against the cold. While caulking and weather-stripping windows and doors is best done before winter winds begin to blow, it is never too late to add them. Cold air seeps in through even the tiniest of cracks. Caulking and weather-stripping are like adding warm blankets to windows and doors.

Is it really the last day of September? I can hardly believe how fast the month has gone...and it shows no signs of slowing down! We got back late last night from our vacation and I realized that I hadn't posted a "link love" post...so here is yesterday's post, just a little late. Happy Sunday!
I love the look of these Oreo pops! They are super simple (and cheap!) to make. Wouldn't they be cute with Halloween-themed sprinkles?
I'm always up for a great knock-off! This burlap message board is fabulous!
You got a sneak peek at the dresser that's going in the nursery at our house a few weeks ago. Laurel commented on that post to tell me about this awesome furniture re-do that she had accomplished. You won't believe the "before" of this dresser!

3 Noobs and a Warpriest Walk Into a Bar: Tales of My D&D Group
This week, I wanted to bring you guys an update on the fun shenanigans that my group has been up to in D&D. But the longer I sat and stared at the several things I wanted to talk about, the more I realized that they all kind of belonged in the same story.
And in light of the fact that all our games lately have been one-shot campaigns, one of which did in fact start with the group of us walking into a bar, I figured I'd write the stories in the same style. So bear with me, here we go!
Tales from the borderlands
As you may or may not know, Shane took up DMing about a year ago. Too many table-runners in our last group led to quieter players not actually getting a chance to play, and that's no fun to sit through for several hours a week.
Instead, we started playing with a few regular players, and started Kingmaker about six months ago. We were eking our way through the campaign, exploring the wild marches and claiming them for ourselves.
It was slow going—we had exactly the number of players needed, so if one person couldn't make it, we couldn't play. And throughout that time, we were too dependent on Shane's NPC cleric, whom we nicknamed Jhod the Toad because he would flee and/or panic at the first sign of conflict.
But then, one of our players got a new job, and couldn't make it to regular games anymore. We were one player short of a campaign.
Enter the new players
A few months ago, one of Shane's friends had expressed an interest in joining our game and bringing his wife along to try it out. So when our player got his new job, Shane put Kingmaker on hold, and invited them to do a one-shot campaign with us.
That way, they could get a feel for the game, and see if they liked it before we threw them in the metaphorical deep end with Kingmaker.
They were extremely excited, and within days, came over for help building their characters.
After six hours of research, rolling stat grids and planning, we had a brand-new minotaur fighter and half-elf druid.
Not a game of "healers adjust"
Typically, when I create a character for a D&D campaign, my primary goal is to find a way either to do as much damage as possible, or manipulate other characters as much as possible. May or may not be a learned trait from a previous DM letting me build a witch with a 51 INT.
As I looked at our new druid and fighter, and knowing full well our other still-quite-new player would want to build a rogue, I couldn't help but think back to Jhod the Toad.
I knew in that moment that if we were going to have the slightest hope of surviving Kingmaker, we were going to need a regularly scheduled healer—and it was going to have to be me.
Now, I've never been much of a healer type, and I've had more than my fair share of squishy casters who can only take one hit before they're demolished. So playing a straight cleric was off the table.
Instead, I decided to build the best of both worlds: A warpriest, a magical being with all the healy magic of a cleric and all the tanky smash-ness of a fighter. And as one experience with someone who assumed I'd heal non-lethal acquired from anti-party shenanigans proved, that tanky healer was not going to adjust.
Just wanna roll D20s all niiight
The first few games with our new players went amazingly well. The one-shot Shane chose gave us plenty of opportunities for all the magic D&D has to offer—roleplaying, brawling, solving puzzles, you name it.
In fact, they loved it so much that they kept wanting the sessions to be longer and longer—and eventually, the idea of a 24-hour game came up.
It took some coordinating and a long weekend, but we did manage to make it happen. I loaded up on groceries, found a fold-up table we could use in the living room where we'd be more comfy, and set up with a full dossier of my character. Only three of us players could make it, so Shane had to bring in an NPC for us, but it was a very successful night!
We only lasted about 19 hours (only), but in that time, finished two one-shots and got ready to start our own foray back into Kingmaker.
So that's what we've been up to! Now it's your turn. What fun adventures have you been up to in your games?

That sounds so fun! My boyfriend and I want to get into D&D! We've never played before but he's been reading up on it and wants to be DM! I'm excited to try it out! I'm thinking of going as a wood elf!


Live CD - but selinux put a stop to that.
that doesn't match labels, watch the fun!).
in permissive if you're going to be doing composes.
Revisor could be aware of SELinux and provide a warning, SELinux cannot do this.
Your dissatisfaction with SELinux has been duly noted by the list, you are free to disable it. However, we would prefer contributions to make the distribution more robust and smooth out the bumps rather than disabling the technology. Your choice.

Q: border-radius not working on Chrome all of sudden Did Chrome change css rendering rule overnight?
I've noticed this morning that the border radius property is not being interpreted on Chrome all of sudden.
It works fine on IE9 & 10.  And as far as I know, below is a valid css.  I can't figure out what is going on.
nav[role="full-top"] ul > li:after {

  position: absolute;
  z-index: -1;
  content: "";
  right: 0;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border-radius: 5em;
  box-shadow: 1em 1em 0 2em rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);

}

The squares you see between links are supposed to be circles like this (as rendered in IE)

You can check for yourself if you can't believe your eyes.  hackya.com
border-radius not working in Chrome?  That's just bizarre.

A: Try adding a width and height to your :after declaration!

A: Try adding the -webkit-border-radius property (-moz-border-radius for firefox)

For the moment, the pre-processing data are computed once you save a project, when you save a product concerned by a project from the Product Edit Form and the sequential edit. Moreover, a command php bin/console pimee:project:recalculate is provided to help you to recalculate data according to your needs.
This scalability guide will focus on how to use the Teamwork Assistant functionally (how much projects in the same time, etc.) and technically (how to use the recalculate command) in a healthy way.
To know more about the project completeness visit the project completeness reference.
Before beginning to work with the Teamwork Assistant, you must be aware that this feature has to compute a lot of data. The more products and attribute groups you have in a project, the more time project completeness computing will take. We did some benchmarks with our medium catalog on MySQL to give you an idea of the time it can take. A medium catalog is about 3,66 millions of product values.
In this benchmark the catalog contained 5 users with read/edit permissions on all 15 attribute groups and 5 users with read/edit permissions on 7 attribute groups.


TG Therapeutics Collab - HENGRUI THERAPEUTICS, INC.
NEW YORK and SHANGHAI, China, Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TGTX) (or "TG") and Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd. (SSE:600276) (or "Hengrui") today announced that the companies have entered into an exclusive global license agreement pursuant to which TG Therapeutics will obtain worldwide rights, excluding Asia but including Japan, for the development of Hengrui's Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor program, including lead candidate TG-1701 (known in China as SHR-1459), as monotherapy and in combination with ublituximab (TG-1101), TG's glycoengineered anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, and umbralisib (TGR-1202), TG's next generation PI3K-delta inhibitor. In addition to TG-1701, the global license agreement covers TG-1702 (SHR-1266), another BTK inhibitor in pre-clinical development.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hengrui will receive an up-front licensing fee and near-term milestones, payable in TG common stock, and will be eligible to receive additional payments contingent on certain clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones, totaling approximately $350MM, as well as tiered royalties on net sales.
TG-1701 (SHR-1459) and TG-1702 (SHR-1266) are orally available, covalently-bound BTK inhibitors that exhibit superior selectivity to BTK compared to ibrutinib in in vitro kinase screening. Hengrui commenced a Phase 1 clinical trial for TG-1701 (SHR-1459) in China in December 2017 while TG-1702 (SHR-1266) is in pre-clinical development.
Previously, TG reported that the triple combination of ublituximab, umbralisib, and the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, resulted in a 100% Overall Response Rate (ORR) among 19 treated patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL), an 86% ORR among 7 treated patients with iNHL (Follicular Lymphoma and Marginal Zone Lymphoma) and 100% ORR in the 4 treated patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).
Michael S. Weiss, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TG Therapeutics stated, "We are pleased to be partnering with one of the leading Chinese biopharmaceutical companies. We have been evaluating potential BTK inhibitors for quite some time and we were really impressed with Hengrui's research that led to the development of these two highly selective BTK inhibitors. We believe TG-1701 could be comparable to the best-in-class BTK inhibitors and in combination with ublituximab and umbralisib, could represent a truly unique triple combination treatment option across CLL and NHL." Mr. Weiss continued, "With our UNITY program, we have pivotal and registration directed trials either already fully enrolled or enrolling across CLL and NHL for our U2 combination of umbralisib + ublituximab, and for umbralisib as a single agent. With this license, we have taken a major step toward the development of a next generation, wholly-owned, proprietary, triplet therapy. Our goal is to advance TG-1701 into the clinic as quickly as possible in the first half of this year."
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an essential component of the B-cell receptor signaling pathways that regulate the survival, activation, proliferation, and differentiation of B lymphocytes. Targeting BTK with small molecule inhibitors has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment option for B-cell lymphomas and autoimmune diseases.

Q: How to pass PHP variable into Function I am modifying my Wordpress loop so it only shows posts that were published after the current logged in user was registered. To get the date the user registered I am using the following successfully -
<?php $regdate = date("Y-d-m", strtotime(get_userdata(get_current_user_id( ))->user_registered)); ?>

To modify the loop I am using the below successfully -
    <?php
      function filter_where($where = '') {
      $where .= " AND post_date >= '2010-02-18'";
      return $where;
      }
      add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
      query_posts($query_string);
    ?>

What I need help with is passing the $regdate variable in place of the text date '2010-02-18'. I've tried a few variations but it breaks. I'm sure this is quite simple for anyone PHP savvy... please help!

A: As far as i know you could do this in two different basic ways: $GLOBALS and passing function arguments.
$GLOBALS

An associative array containing references to all variables which are
  currently defined in the global scope of the script. The variable
  names are the keys of the array.

function boo(){
    echo $GLOBALS['foo'];
}
$foo = 'bar';
boo(); // output: bar

Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.globals.php
Function arguments

Information may be passed to functions via the argument list, which is
  a comma-delimited list of expressions. The arguments are evaluated
  from left to right.

function boo($foo){
    echo $foo;
}
boo('bar'); // output: bar

Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php

Whilst collecting a vital substance from the trader Kivas Fajo, Commander Data is seemingly lost in a shuttle explosion. But even as the Enterprise rushes to use its cargo to save a contaminated planet, Geordi cannot quite believe that Data is really dead – and he's correct. For Data has just become the latest rarity in Fajo's collection.
With its sociopathic collector of galactic treasures, The Most Toys feels somewhat like a TOS episode – like stepping back into the "powerful aliens toy with the Enterprise crew" trope. And whilst it's not a great episode, it does give us a morality plot to chew on. Whilst the obligatory "save Data" storyline goes on in the background, what we have is a struggle between the morally upstanding Data, and the downright corrupt Fajo. Data tries to maintain a passive resistance in the face of Fajo's selfish demands, but the trader is having none of it, using violence and death threats to force Data to cooperate. And even though he has never killed anyone before, as an android, Data is easily able to make the calculation – killing Fajo will spare many lives. It's not as clearcut as if Fajo were a dictator of Hitler-esque proportions, but it's still the lesser of two evils.
Does Data indeed fire at Fajo just as he's beamed away? Does he then consciously lie about it later? I believe that he did.
It seems overly simplistic to imagine that firing a missile of 'cure' at a contaminated water supply would fix the problem.
Fajo's collection includes a rare baseball card. Baseball cards and their acquisition will feature again in DS9.
Since the Federation has no money, what were the Enterprise paying Fajo in exchange for the hytritium? Did they hand over dilithium, or antimatter?
Before you ask, hytritium is apparently too unstable to go through the transporter, or to be replicated.
Summary – The Most Toys: The one where Data finally learnt to kill.

Possible big ideas for downtown Raleigh
Using the motto "no little plans" as guidance, Planning Director Mitchell Silver is leading a series of meetings seeking suggestions for big-picture concepts.
"The big ideas for Raleigh for the next 20 years as we grow," Silver says.
There are several so far that will get consideration as /*Raleigh*/ re-draws its Comprehensive Plan for growth. That plan is reviewed from time to time and serves as the blueprint for how the city develops. One of the most intriguing ideas is indeed a riverwalk like the one in Texas. Possible locations include just off of /*Capital Boulevard*/ north of downtown or close to /*Crabtree Valley Mall*/.
Another concept getting some traction is to take the privately-owned rock quarry near Duraleigh Road and somehow turn it into a waterfall. It "would be the tallest waterfall in North Carolina," says Silver.
He likes also likes the idea of adding three towers to the city skyline, each potentially at least 60 stories tall.
"We're looking at possibly three because we're a Triangle," suggests Silver. "And have that at different heights so that people, wherever they are driving, can actually know where downtown is." The tallest building downtown -- the /* RBC building*/ still under construction -- is just more than 30 stories tall.
Other ideas are less grandiose. Some have suggested building an amphitheatre on the /*Dorothea Dix*/ campus. Others have offered the idea of connecting downtown to the Boylan Heights neighborhood by effectively building roads on top of the railroad corridor that exists there now.
All of the ideas are just that at this point -- ideas, and nothing more. There is no talk yet of cost, or even of feasibility. It's a time to dream big, says Silver.
"We're gonna find out which ones have the most, either gravitas or have the most potential of being developed, and then we'll study it further."
Not all are quite as exuberant. /*Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker*/ says he hasn't even heard all of the ideas yet; he hadn't gotten wind of the waterfall idea when he spoke with Eyewitness News.
"I don't think we need any one iconic thing, what we really need is the creative environment that we have to have that increased over time," Meeker said.
Silver says he and his staff will make a presentation on several of the ideas, likely at the end of May or early June.
Silver has experience creating unique destinations in other parts of the country. He touts his work along the Harlem waterfront in New York where a dilapidated waterfront which had bus depots and sewage treatment plants was turned into a $35 million destination that has a park and is rejuvenating the area. Silver says he was part of a similar successful "big idea" project in Philadelphia, too.
"Those are some of the examples of the some of the big ideas that people thought were 'pie in the sky', but in fact generate a lot of excitement and now they're being undertaken," Silver says.

Book of Ecclesiastes-Introduction[1]
The Book of Ecclesiastes is a weird fit. If the books of the Bible were puzzle pieces, you would have a hard time figuring out where to put Ecclesiastes—it's the kind of piece that needs to be jammed into place, or one that you might be tempted to adjust with a pair of scissors. So Ecclesiastes is definitely odd—Plenty of scholars and theologians agree that Ecclesiastes just feels like it's coming from another planet, one different from almost all the other books of the Bible (except maybe for Job). In fact, many of the rabbis who were putting the Hebrew Bible together didn't want to put Ecclesiastes in—but they were out-voted. Ecclesiastes was a definite original. Some people suggest that Ecclesiastes is so different from everybody else because he was influenced by Greek philosophers—like Epicurus, who was also into talking about heavy subjects like death in a big way. But there isn't any Greek influence on Ecclesiastes' language, which remains Hebrew, so this all seems sort of unlikely. Ecclesiastes is just the Greek version of Koheleth, which means "Gatherer" or "Assembler"—either because he gathered all the sayings and observations that make up this book, or he used to gather together people and teach them these sayings and observations, which led to his English nickname of "Teacher" or "Preacher. For a long time, Ecclesiastes was said to be the same as King Solomon, the wisest of Israel's kings. But in reality, he lived about half-a-millennium after Solomon. And speaking of wisdom, Koheleth challenges some of the basic points and assumptions made by nearly all the other books in the Bible. Those other books don't ever question the idea that life has a purpose, and that God is guiding that purpose towards something that's ultimately good (again, with the possible exception of Job). Yeah, human beings keep messing up, provoking God's wrath and giving him the occasional panic attack—but the long arc of the Bible seems to bend towards a final time of peace, when the Israelites and the rest of humanity will be living righteously and without endless war. Not so for Koheleth. Yet, despite how radically different the Book of Ecclesiastes is, it's had a huge impact on world literature. The American writer Thomas Wolfe said that it was "the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known, and the wisdom expressed in it the most lasting and profound." And the rock band The Byrds used an entire passage from Ecclesiastes as the lyrics to their hippie-anthem, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" But to understand the hype, you really need to dig into this often-disturbing masterpiece.
The word "wise" is often thrown around like so many foam peanuts. For instance, "wise guy" isn't usually a term for someone who's wise, at all—we apply it to a cocky kid or a Goodfellas-style mobster much more regularly. People even say "wise man" more sarcastically than seriously. But wisdom literature was a popular style of writing in the ancient Middle East. You needed wisdom because life was hard. Assyria could invade you. Babylon could invade you. They could murder you, murder your family, pillage, and plunder. But even now, in the present day, when you're a lot less likely to get stampeded to death by a horde of Babylonian charioteers, you still stand the risk of dying at some point. In fact, recent studies show that 100% of all human beings will, eventually… die. It's science. So, death is inevitable—sorry. So, we're all going to die. (Prepare your frown-face emoticons.) But this is also why Ecclesiastes still has a lot to say. The author has done some hard livin'—he implies he's been through it all. And after these experiences—from living an intense life—Ecclesiastes has something to say. He has wisdom to impart; he wants to give you the news. But is it good news? A fair amount of Ecclesiastes focuses on death and the meaninglessness of life. It begins with the famous refrain, "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!" and repeats it throughout the book. Now, "vanity" here doesn't mean staring at your reflection and hoping everyone thinks you're winsome and attractive. He's not saying the whole world is just one giant Barbie Vanity Dream Playset by Mattel. Here, the word translated as "vanity" is closely related to the Hebrew word for "fog" or "mist"—the great Hebrew Bible scholar, Robert Alter, translates it as "mere breath." It means the world is a place where everything is always disappearing, dissolving, changing from one day to the next. Things vanish just like the cold breath you breathe out on a winter day. There's a sense of futility, absurdity, confusion, and meaninglessness all mixed up in it too. Basically, he's saying that life is pretty insubstantial. So is Ecclesiastes just a Debbie Downer? Is that all he has to say? Thankfully, the answer is "Not really." Some people think Ecclesiastes is totally pessimistic, but a good number also think he's got a lot more going on. He's not just looking at life and saying, "This is total lame-sauce." He's admitting that life seems meaningless—or, at least, that the plot of life isn't immediately clear. Books like the Bible or the Teachings of the Buddha or Plato's Dialogues try to show people what the plot is or might be—and if you're looking at life without a guidebook, it might easily seem like "vanity." Ecclesiastes is trying to give you the antidote to all this vanity.
December 30 Monday in the Octave of Christmas
Ecclesiastes, Chapter 5, Verse 6
Despite many dreams, futilities, and a multitude of words, fear God!
Remember fear of God means reverence and love. Our dreams if not connected to our Godly purpose are unrewarding. Our vainness is a result of excluding God from our plans; and many words do not make a song of praise. It is not the multitude of words but one's sincerity that counts in the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty, especially through obedience and reverence. God does not fear to make men great; but for those who are made great they must be responsible, humble and fair for those in command are thoroughly judged by God. We must be of the mindset as spoken by Charles Mayes: "Make sure the thing your living for is worth dying for." And as leaders we must make sure that when we send others into harm's way that it would be only if we ourselves would be willing to die to get it done. As confirmed members of the body of Christ it is our duty; no, our sacred honor to give meaning to the words of the psalmist:
"Defend the lowly and fatherless; render justice to the afflicted and needy. Rescue the lowly and poor; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." (Ps. 82:3-4)
Focus[2]
FOCUS is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the gospel with college and university students. Trained in Church teaching, prayer, sacred Scripture, evangelization and discipleship, FOCUS missionaries encounter students in friendship where they are, inviting them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and accompanying them as they pursue lives of virtue and excellence. Through Bible studies, outreach events, mission trips and one-on-one discipleship, missionaries inspire and build up students in the faith, sending them out to spread the good news and to live out the Great Commission: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations (Mt. 28:19).
"Be soldiers."
— Pope St. John Paul II to Curtis Martin, our founder and CEO
This is a generation in crisis — of identity, of purpose and of belief. Faced with so many distractions, acts of violence, empty pleasures and a loss of faith in God, they are losing hope. For the sake of so many souls, the joyful message of Jesus Christ's life and salvation needs to be shared, now more than ever.
Recognizing the significant impact, the college years have on a young person's future, Curtis Martin founded the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, starting with just two missionaries at Benedictine College in 1998.
Later that same year, Curtis was blessed with the opportunity to meet Pope St. John Paul II and to share his vision for FOCUS: a chance for every student to know and feel known, loved and cared for by Jesus Christ. His Holiness listened carefully, and in response he simply told Curtis, "Be soldiers."
Encouraged and driven by Pope St. John Paul II's call to a New Evangelization and encouraged with steadfast hope to change the culture for Christ, FOCUS has forged ahead into the battlefield. FOCUS missionaries have spread the gospel message to tens of thousands of college students through on-campus outreach, Bible studies, discipleship, mission trips, national conferences and more.
Today, FOCUS continues to encourage young people to pursue truth and meaning in their lives, to invest in relationships with Jesus Christ and their fellow students. Our story is and remains the same: through God's mercy, FOCUS missionaries will continue to help young people go and share the good news to everyone they meet, bringing Christ to the world and transforming the world through Christ.
Sixth Day of Christmas-Six Geese a-Laying = the six days of creation[3]
1st Day: Creation of light and its separation from darkness
2nd Day: Creation of the firmament and division of the waters
3rd Day: Collection of waters (sea) and formation of dry land (earth); creation of plants according to their own likeness
4th Day: Creation of heavenly bodies in the firmament (sun, moon, and stars)
5th Day: Creation of sea creatures and winged fowl from the waters
6th Day: Creation of cattle, creeping things, and beasts from the dry land; creation of mankind, male and female
December 30, Sixth Day in the Octave of Christmas - Day Six[4]
God is your beatitude. The things of time are toys. You are eternity's child and your eternity has already begun! There is a compelling urgency to every day and every hour of the day. In it we are to witness to the truth — that God greeted and gifted us at Christmas.
If you know what witness means, you understand why God brings St. Stephen, St. John, and the Holy Innocents to the crib in the cave as soon as Christ is born liturgically. To be a witness is to be a martyr. Holy Mother Church wishes us to realize that we were born in baptism to become Christ — He who was the world's outstanding Martyr. — Love Does Such Things, by Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.

Cup of Wisdom
For Christmas my wonderful wife brought me three coffee mugs on being 1) a man of courage 2) a man of strength and 3) a man of wisdom. To be a person of wisdom there is no better model for us than that of the Holy Family. Here is what is on the wisdom mug my wife gave me: Blessed is the man who uses knowledge and experience to improve the well-being of others who guides with respect and encourages with love. "Make me to know your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths." (Psalm 25: 4)

FORT MISERY, Fla. -- Torii did not lose consciousness and has no concussion symptoms after being hit in the back left side of his head, according to the medical report passed on to official spokesman Mike Herman.
Hunter is alert and coherent, according to the report. Public address announcer just announced it to the crowd.
I used the "Fort Misery" dateline this time, because that's what Torii calls this place.
FORT TRAFFICJAMBURG, Fla. -- Scary scene here minutes ago, when Torii Hunter was drilled squarely in the head by a Kyle Lohse pitch with two outs in the first inning of the Twins-Reds game at Hammond Stadium.
After lying flat on his back for over a minute, Torii walked off the field to a standing ovation. I'll pass along an injury update when I get one.
Lohse still is the same lousy pitcher he was while with the Twins, but that wasn't intentional. I've heard he's actually hung out with Torii this spring. As the trainers tended to Torii, Gardy talked to Lohse and patted him on the back three times. Nice gesture from Gardy, especially after all the grief Lohse gave him the past two years.
UPDATE: Turns out Lohse left because of a mild strain in his right hamstring.
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins pitcher Sidney Ponson has obtained the proper work visa, clearing the veteran right-hander to participate in official spring training exhibition games, general manager Terry Ryan said this afternoon.
"It was a little awkward for us, but he really didn't get setback any because he was slated to pitch March 5 and he's still going to pitch March 5," Ryan said. "Now the visa issue is a dead issue."
Ponson, a native of Aruba, was originally scheduled to pitch in the minor-league "B" game on Monday. Ryan was not certain whether the field staff would keep Ponson on that schedule or shift him to the major-league game against Tampa Bay on Monday.
Ponson left camp Thursday to travel to the Bahamas to receive his visa from the U.S. consul. He originally was scheduled to obtain his visa on March 9, meaning he would have missed almost two weeks of Grapefruit League games.

Today we had to say goodbye to our dog Shyla. She was approx 10-11 years old and has been with our family for 7 of those years. She was the greatest dog you could ever ask for. She had been showing signs of aging in the last couple years, and lately it had just gotten worse. She could barely go up the stairs, no matter how much she ate she was so skinny and didnt get out of bed often. Not to mention her teeth started falling out. So we knew it was time for her to go to doggy heaven. Its a sad day, but we know she is in a better place. We love you Shy, thanks for all the great memories! "Goodbye NANA..............."

Q: Encourage users to give a code example On Stack Overflow there are a lot of newbie questions that simply write down their thoughts as plain text without giving any example.
One always need to ask for some code or for an error message. This is makes it even harder when dealing with new users because they are (to my experience) quite slow with a comment/update-loop.
Have there been any efforts in this direction?
I know that there are questions that don't require code, but after all, on a site like Stack Overflow with 95% questions about code, it would make sense to at least ask the user if they couldn't add some code to their question.
Something like this, just above the "Post your Question" button, would only be displayed if the markdown parser doesn't encounter any code (be it indented code, or something within backticks).

The user could override this with the checkbox if their question is not code based.

The Third Harmony
Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature
Activist Challenge
The Third Harmony tells the story of nonviolence, humanity's greatest (and most overlooked) resource.
"To be nonviolent is be an artist of your humanity," says Palestinian nonviolence leader and founder of the Taygheer Movement, Ali Abu Awwad, in a new documentary about the power of nonviolence and a new vision of human nature. Drawing on interviews with veteran activists like Civil Rights leader Bernard Lafayette, scientists like behaviorist Frans de Waal and neuroscientist Marco Iacoboni, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, political scientist Erica Chenoweth, futurist Elisabet Sahtouris, and others, this 44-minute documentary will help the general public, often at a loss to understand the protests occurring in many cities, to better grasp just what nonviolence is and how it works. The film also delves into the important role that nonviolence plays in the wider struggle to develop a new theory of human nature, how every one of us can add to our personal growth and fulfillment while benefitting society through the use of this time-tested power.
Directed and produced by the respected nonviolence scholar and author, Michael Nagler, co-founder of the Peace and Conflict Studies Department at U.C. Berkeley, the viewer is given the deep awareness that nonviolence is a serious field of study, or in the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "Nonviolence is not the inanity people have taken it for." This is echoed by Tiffany Easthom, Executive Director of the Nonviolent Peaceforce in the film, when discussing the power of unarmed civilian protection as a tool in the nonviolent toolkit: this is not about being "peace activists who hope that unicorns and rainbows will rule the world one day. This is hard work." Changing the story that makes violence of all kinds seem practical in our world is hard work. But it's certainly time for this change to happen. The Third Harmony contributes to that important effort.
Several of the more successful films on the "new story," the emerging narrative about human meaning and purpose, have touched on nonviolence, but this is the first to explain in depth the interdependence of these two defining trends of human civilization in our time, which drew documentary industry leader Steve Michelson of the Fund for Sustainable Tomorrows into the project as Executive Producer along with Thomas Eddington, Ryah Alohalei Ki, and Lou Zweier as well as Sarah Gorsline who edited 35 hours of interview to make this film possible. The presentation is supported by animations throughout and original music by composer Jim Schuyler. As Minister Kristin Stoneking, former Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, U.S., said, "I just want to watch it over and over." The film was accepted among 600 applicants to the United Nations Association film festival in October, 2020.
The film's impact will be enhanced by the already-released book, The Third Harmony: Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature (Berrett-Koehler, 2020) and a board game, Cosmic Peaceforce: Mission Harmony Three, all available at the Metta Center for Nonviolence.
Metta is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Petaluma, CA. It has been working since 1982 to "help people practice nonviolence more safely and more effectively" and has special consultative status at the United Nations.
