Man Utd readying monster bid for Polish sharp-shooter Lewandowski
Manchester United manager José Mourinho has urged the Old Trafford hierarchy to pull out all the stops to try and snare Poland's prolific goalscorer, Robert Lewandowski, from Bayern Munich. The German giants are reportedly interested in snapping up French forward Anthony Martial from United, but Mourinho is only prepared to sanction Martial's departure to the German champions if he can have Lewandowski as part of the deal.
Martial has just 12 months remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford and appears to have fallen out of favour with Mourinho. Reports in the British press suggest there is a tug-of-war between Mourinho and the United owners, with the latter keen on keeping Martial and triggering their option to extend Martial's contract for a further 12 months. Nevertheless, Mourinho has been a long-time admirer of Lewandowski's abilities in front of goal and believes the Pole would provide the ideal competition for Romelu Lukaku as the squad's central striker.

United are said to have slapped a £70 million price tag on Martial, but Bayern are not prepared to pay any more than £50 million to secure the Frenchman's services. It is thought that Mourinho is keen on a Lewandowski-plus-cash deal instead. Lewandowski has been one of Mourinho's prime targets since taking the Old Trafford hot-seat from Louis van Gaal in 2016. Lewandowski eventually committed his future to Bayern in the summer of 2016, with Mourinho instead opting to sign the enigmatic Swede, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Lewandowski again spurned Mourinho and United's advances last summer, with the Red Devils then turning to Everton's Romelu Lukaku to seal a £75 million switch from Merseyside. However, the timing might just be right this month, with Lewandowski's agent reportedly close to Mourinho and the United hierarchy, keeping them informed of developments at Bayern's end.
However, new Bayern boss, Niko Kovač appears loathed to allow his number-one frontman to leave. Kovač confirmed that the "status is that he will not leave the club because he's [their] top striker". Kovač reiterated that Bayern would not consider "giving him away" to the likes of United. The Croatian, who won the DFP-Pokal with Eintracht Frankfurt before taking the reins at the Allianz Arena this summer, has been in the Bundesliga betting news recently reinforcing that the Pole is a "world-class striker" and that he has "told him [Lewandowski] how much I rate him".
Although Lewandowski struggled to raise his nation in the recent 2018 World Cup, failing to hit the back of the net in any of Poland's three group games, the 29-year-old still enjoyed another prolific campaign at club level. He averaged almost a goal a game, with 29 league goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances. Lewandowski also averaged one-in-two in the Champions League. Lewandowski's goalscoring record has been imperious since the 2011-12 campaign, when he transformed Jürgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund side. It's possible that Mourinho believes Lewandowski to be a more reliable goal-getter than Lukaku, with the Belgian having a tendency to going missing in the big games last season. If Martial does move on from United, it does pave the way for Marcus Rashford to stake a first-team place, having had a relatively on-off Premier League campaign last term.

By Barbara Powell
When the Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment protecting free speech, they were fresh from the Revolutionary War, during which the vast wealth and power of England were overcome by 13 small colonies intent on governing themselves. The First Amendment was meant to protect a citizen's right to dissent and to ensure that the minority is protected from the tyranny of the majority.
In the stunning Jan. 21 Citizens United ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that, contrary to years of state and federal law stretching back to Teddy Roosevelt's crusades against the power of money in politics, corporations should be able to spend as much as they want to support or oppose candidates in national elections.
Here in Mississippi, just as in other states, we have seen first hand the corrupting influences of money in political campaigns. An egregious example was the 2000 Mississippi Supreme Court race in which Lenora Prather, a sitting justice, objected to attack campaign ads run supposedly in her behalf. She couldn't get the ads stopped, and even the secretary of state was unable to help. Prather lost the race. This, of course, is nothing in comparison to what Big Tobacco, Wall Street and the behemoths of the banking industry can do now that campaign spending regulations have been dismantled by the high court.
In its 5-4 ruling, the Court decided, in essence, that more money in political campaigns does not make it appear that elected officials are being bought, does not undermine the faith of people in their government, does not contribute to a proliferation of smear campaigns designed to besmirch a candidate's integrity in order to defeat him or her. The justices in the majority were unconcerned that ads financed by money from huge corporations might drown out the voice of ordinary Americans.
The Citizens United decision was made possible by the appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice
The Citizens United decision was made possible by the appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, who advertised themselves during confirmation hearings as judicial conservatives. The definition of a conservative is one who wants most things to stay the same. The judicial expression of conservative decision-making is stare decisis, a fundamental tenant of constitutional law that cautions against overturning longstanding law. Citizens United is instead a glaring example of judicial activism.
Justice John Paul Stevens, in a stinging dissent, said, "The court's ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the nation."
Stevens further said, "The court operates with a sledgehammer rather than a scalpel when it strikes down one of Congress's most significant efforts to regulate the role that corporations and unions play in electoral politics … . Congress crafted [current campaign law] in response to a virtual mountain of research on the corruption that previous legislation had failed to avert. The court now negates Congress's efforts without a shred of evidence."
Common Cause Mississippi and many other citizens' groups believe the path from here is clear: Congress must free itself from Wall Street's grip so that Main Street can finally get a fair shake. Congress is now considering proposals to change the way we pay for elections by blending small donor fund raising with public funding to reduce the pressure of fund raising from big contributors.
Mississippians want less, not more, of big money influencing elections. It's time to give us the best Congress money can't buy.

Aitape, New Britain, PNG, 11 October 2018 -- It was nearly the end of Term three (3), 2007 academic year during my high school days at St Ignatius Secondary School in Aitape doing my Grade ten (10).
A thought came into my mind that I should draft a letter of interest to continue my Secondary Studies at Don Bosco Technical Secondary School (DBTSS) in Vanimo because I certainly knew that my academic performance was poor and I had a discipline problem. Therefore, I doubted if I would be accepted or not. Amazingly, the following year I was successful along with my other two friends (Richard Mause & Fidelis Tamfo).
I received an Acceptance Letter from the Principal's office, officially stating that I was selected to continue my Grade Eleven (11) studies at DBTSS. This was the turning point in my life. I vowed that I would change and become a gentleman. My mum is in Kimbe, West New Britain Province with my stepfather. It was only when I entered DBTSS, Vanimo to continue my studies, that I personally saw this as 'THE WAY FORWARD' for me.
Being a Bosconian, I learnt so much - socially, academically and spiritually. Then after a successful year twelve (12), I was selected for Divine Word University (DWU) in 2010 to take up Business Studies.
I completed my studies in DWU in 2013 specialized in the field of Management. Currently I am attached to the Diocese of Aitape. I am so grateful to all my classmates (2008 – 2009) for being together for each other, all the Teaching and Ancillary Staff, the Rector; Fr Albert Lenon (sdb) and Principal, Fr. Rendanto Ephram Coloma (sdb).
Finally, to our loving Father for the gift of life alnd His abundant ove and Mary our Mother for always being the shining star lighting our path.

We got a big crate of strawberries from the Farmer's market last Tuesday – freshly picked and bursting with flavor! Since very ripe strawberries don't keep for very long, I decided to make this fresh strawberry pie for the 4th of July festivities. It can be a bit time-consuming to de-stem the berries, but otherwise this pie is incredibly easy to make.
- 1 pre-baked pie crust, homemade or storebought
- 8 cups small to medium fresh strawberries, divided, stems removed*
- 2/3 cup unbleached sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
Prepare baked pastry shell, set aside.
Place 1 cup of the strawberries plus 2/3 cup water into a blender, and blend until very smooth. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in blended berry mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes without stirring.
Spread a bit of the glaze over bottom and sides of baked pastry shell. Arrange half of the remaining strawberries, stem ends down, in pastry. Spoon half of remaining glaze over strawberries, being careful to coat each one. Arrange remaining strawberries over the first layer, and spoon remaining glaze over berries, again coating each one.
Chill for 1 – 2 hours.** Enjoy!!
*Using small whole berries makes this pie very attractive, yet still manageable to eat. You can use larger strawberries if that's what you have, just cut them in half first.
*Don't chill this pie for much longer than 2 hours, as the glaze will begin to become watery and the pie won't hold together as well. Unfortunately, this isn't a pie that you can make the night before. You can, however, bake the pie crust and de-stem the berries ahead of time, which will save you lots of time on the day you plan to serve this!

Global Switch First in Singapore to Adopt Design for Manufacturing and Assembly Methods for Data Centre Construction
May 2018 by Marc Jacob
Global Switch announced that its Singapore Woodlands data centre, is the first project in the island state to adopt prefabricated mechanical and electrical and plumbing (MEP) modular techniques on a large scale. The data centre is due to launch later this year.
Earlier this month, a delegation from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) led by Mr Neo Choon Keong, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Industry Development), visited the development in order to view first-hand the advanced Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) methods being used to construct the project. Mr Neo commented, "Global Switch Singapore Woodlands is contributing to our initiative to raise construction productivity. Visiting the site was an eye opener and we believe this project will boost the industry's confidence in adopting prefabricated MEP systems for higher productivity and quality, in line with Singapore's construction industry transformation efforts."
Gammon Construction, which were awarded the contract by Global Switch, are assembling over 60% of the MEP works off-site. This method of manufacturing elements off-site has multiple benefits including increased productivity, safety and quality.
Singapore Woodlands, will be strategically located in the north of the island and physically distanced from Global Switch's existing Tai Seng data centre to meet dual occupancy demand. Global Switch Singapore Woodlands will provide 25,000 square metres of world-class critical infrastructure, supported by 30MVA of utility power supply capacity. The SGD280 million data centre will host multiple connectivity options with the ability to directly access the dense networks currently operating from within Global Switch Tai Seng, which is recognised as one of the leading communication hubs in the Asia-Pacific region and has significant sub-sea cable system infrastructure present.
Singapore Woodlands will be a leading example of an environmentally sustainable data centre and will be targeting a Platinum BCA Green Mark as well as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Rating. The data centre will have a design PUE of 1.38, with reconfigurable and highly efficient power and cooling distribution, variable speed fans and high energy efficient CRAH units. Sam Lee, Global Switch's Managing Director for Singapore, stated "We were extremely pleased to host the delegation led by the BCA and were delighted to receive such acknowledgement for the approach we have taken with construction of Global Switch's second data centre in Singapore.
"Singapore Woodlands is on target to launch at the end of 2018 and will become Global Switch's twelfth data centre in our portfolio. It follows closely on from the launch of the first stage of our Hong Kong data centre as well as the completion of our Sydney East data centre at the end of last year."
Singapore Woodlands will deliver a highly resilient environment allowing scalable and flexible solutions supported by numerous connectivity options. It is also designed to meet best-in-class operational and environmental management processes and will operate to Tier III plus standards.

Oxford City Council opened their Recycling Fund in 2008. This same year the Council also began implementing its first ambitious Carbon Management Plan to tackle environmentally damaging carbon emissions across the city. The Council is now working on its third Carbon Management Plan (2017-2022) and on track to delivering a 5% per year CO2 reduction across its estate and operations through a range of carbon reduction measures.
Since the start of its fund, the Council has financed an impressive £1,701,422 of projects. The 74 projects undertaken are projected to achieve more than £433,233 of annual savings and £6,697,769 of lifetime savings for the Council. Carbon savings are projected to be approximately 2,038 tonnes per year. Popular technologies include LED and lighting upgrades and boiler replacements which have been installed across the Council's estate including sheltered housing, leisure centres, community centres, offices, and depots. The Council is now in the process of developing an ISO50001:2018 energy management system for its flagship buildings.
Paul Spencer is the Energy and Carbon Manager at the Council and has been managing Oxford City Council's Recycling Fund. He has been at the Council for 12 years.
What is your background in relation to energy efficiency and how did you get into the sector?
I initially took on the role of Climate Change Officer at Oxford City Council managing the Climate Change Action Plan back in 2006. The role developed over the years into more of a hands-on energy management role as we built capacity in this area towards meeting our ambitious internal and external (i.e. city-wide) carbon reduction targets.
I developed professional qualifications in energy management along the way – I am a Certified Energy Manager (Association of Energy Engineers) and have CMVP accreditation as well as being a DEC assessor. I am a founding member of the UK Association of Energy Engineers and have a committee role as technical editing and publications officer.
Prior to working for the Council, I worked in publishing as Editor-in-Chief of a portfolio of international renewable energy publications. I was active in developing green/sustainability networks at work as well as establishing a grass-roots community sustainability group outside of work in Oxford where I lived. This has since culminated in the construction of a community funded run of river hydroelectric installation - Osney Lock Hydro which is a 49kWp Archimedes screw hydro scheme. I am currently an independent director of the Hydro. This really is a hands-on role including taking part in weekly trash-screen clearances. Branches, logs and other debris from the river can accumulate on the screen of the hydro reducing the potential output so it's important to keep the channel clear in the peak generation season (the winter months) as well as use the opportunity to keep an eye out for maintenance issues.
Could you tell us a bit about your role within your organisation?
I am the Energy and Carbon Manager at Oxford City Council. This entails managing and procuring the Council's £2m+ energy/water contracts. I am also responsible for the overall energy management function, including managing the utilities bureau service and day-to-day energy management activities, such as energy audits and identifying and implementing energy conservation measures. I manage the Salix recycling fund, as well as developing and managing the pipeline of projects to delivery, including meeting any legislative requirements in this area. I monitor and report on GHG reduction progress, identify and develop renewable energy projects, and work to increase the Council's onsite generation capacity. The role also entails providing support and input to city-wide initiatives as well as shaping the environmental aspects of the design of new developments and refurbishments within the Council estate.
Across the council there is a team of four who focus on energy efficiency across different areas of the estate, operations and the wider community. This team, Energy & Natural Resources, sits within the Council's Environmental Sustainability team who engage with the wider community and with funders to drive the city-wide focus on reducing CO2, improving air quality, reducing fuel poverty, and reducing the impacts of flooding to name a few areas of work. In addition, we are carrying out feasibility studies on the scope for district heating networks towards decarbonising heat across the city.
Could you give a quick overview of the Oxford City Estate such as number/ type of buildings and energy spend? And how has this changed over the time you've been with your organisation?
There are over 700 energy and water supplies in the estate generating around 5000+ invoices per year and a spend of over £2m. The range of sites includes leisure centres, offices, depots, community centres, and pavilions. Within the housing stock the council is also the bill payer for sheltered accommodation, housing block communal areas, temporary accommodation, public conveniences and pathway lighting.
There has been some rationalisation of the estate over the time I've been in the organisation with, for example, a major office rationalisation project leading to three offices becoming one and a move towards more flexible working and hot-desking. We have reduced the number of leisure centres from 7 to 5 – although one centre was closed to fund a major swimming pool extension at one dry centre.
How do you identify new projects?
New projects are identified primarily through energy audits, and energy monitoring & targeting approaches. We are currently conducting an audit of all the buildings in our estate, with a focus on high-energy-use buildings. This audit helps identify projects and to develop our Salix pipeline. We also make sure that smaller buildings are audited thoroughly as there are often opportunities to further add to the pipeline of projects.
Projects ideas also emerge through regular discussions with building managers and engineers across the estate – including monthly review meetings to assess refurbishment and new building projects in development and identify where there may be Salix funding opportunities.
Previously there was relatively low awareness of the Salix fund across the council departments. However, we have been engaging with the key players in these departments and explaining how Salix funding could benefit their departments and are increasingly seeing more projects from other departments coming to us to use the recycling fund financing option. We also have good buy-in from our senior management team who, along with the elected members are very supportive of the energy efficiency and wider sustainability programme.
How do you procure for consultants and suppliers?
First point of call is to assess if our direct labour operations team can deliver the projects, if they cannot then due procurement process will be followed. We ensure all procurement meets constitutional rules via the SE procurement portal for all projects over £10k. for example projects over £100k go to full OJEU level tender.
What project have you taken the most pride in?
I don't think there's one project that stands out but it's pleasing to see a series of projects develop in a building where you've worked up the energy hierarchy using Salix funding to deliver real and visible reductions in site consumption. For example, a depot site initially benefitted from Salix funding to install Cavity Wall insulation, followed by LED and controls upgrades, and finally Solar PV. It has been pleasing to see the site consumption profiles on our smart metering system step down over the years of the projects (See Figure 1). This also helps develop confidence across the estate that the energy management work is delivering real results (real carbon and financial savings). The typical annual electricity consumption in the main building of the depot before energy conservation measures were implemented was around 190,000kWh per year. Since installing LEDs and controls throughout the building in 2014 and then PV in 2016, annual consumption is now typically just over 100,000kWh per year. This is against a backdrop of increased activity at the depots as this is a main hub for the Council's direct labour operations trading arm.
A stand out recent project also includes our largest Solar PV installation to date at another depot (125kWp) using an innovative inverter optimiser system to improve system performance and safety. The project was quite challenging, and we came up across several obstacles along the way, including an asbestos clear up operation, so it was particularly satisfying to see this project completed and watch the site load dramatically reduce. It was great too, following recent developments at Salix, to be able to mainly fund this using our Salix recycling loan fund.
Learning from these experiences it's been great to develop further large-scale Solar PV installations. We are currently building a solar PV carport project at a leisure centre without subsidy. This project demonstrates how PV can stand on its own without the need for FIT revenues. The funding now available via Salix makes the investment case a little easier too.
What is your biggest challenge to delivering and identifying projects?
Getting technical buy-in with building engineers where we are pushing the boundaries beyond their comfort zone. Building engineers can sometimes prioritise keeping buildings running rather than the energy consumption involved in running the buildings. Working with the engineering team over time has helped them to understand the fund and the related benefits that can arise from implementing energy efficiency projects – such as reduced maintenance requirements of LED lighting. They are now more proactively helping us to identify new potential projects and support us in delivery.
Constantly changing priorities across the council can mean that some building's futures are uncertain meaning that it's not always possible to quickly advance projects even though you know they would benefit quickly with reduced energy spend and for reasonable pay backs.
What technologies do you have the most expertise?
LED lighting and controls, and Solar PV.
You have consistently used the funding available in your RF, what key advice would you give to other fund managers wanting to follow in your success?
Patience, resilience and presenting a clear and understandable case to stakeholders that need convincing that the energy conservation project proposed is worthwhile. Also start small and trial technologies to gain confidence and arrange site visits or present case studies evidencing where successful installations have happened (i.e. outside of the Council's estate). Lastly build a large pipeline of projects, some will inevitably be delayed due to circumstances beyond your control.
What technologies do you see as the big players for hitting the future carbon reduction targets of Oxford City Council?
Technologies that can deliver the challenge of decarbonising heat across the estate, particularly leisure facilities will be a big help to the Council's targets. Also extending scope of Salix to cover fleet vehicles – going beyond building energy consumption. Fleet fuel accounts for around 20% of the Council's carbon emissions and has a spend of nearly £750k. Being able to unlock the potential of Salix on fleet fuel reduction approaches would be beneficial to continuing the council's progress on reducing its carbon emissions and associated energy/fuel spend. Lastly, battery storage projects collocated with existing PV installations to maximise onsite usage at night-time.

Whenever a guardrail terminates within the "clear zone," a crashworthy end treatment is required. To be crashworthy, the end-treatment should not spear, vault, or roll a vehicle during a head-on impact while maintaining vehicle decelerations below recommended limits. As a means of determining types of end treatments currently used in various states and criteria to determine what type to use, a survey letter was sent to each state.
It was found that, generally, the preferred method to use to end roadside steel beam guardrail is to bury the end in a cut slope. When this is not feasible, either a Breakaway Cable Terminal (BCT) or turned-down end treatment is generally used. While the BCT is used mos t often, some states use both, while others use only the turned-down end. There is considerable uniformity in the design of the BCT while there is a substantial diversity in the design of turned-down end treatments.
Recommendations were made concerning the type of end treatments which should be used in Kentucky for roadside steel beam guardrail. A design for a turneddown end treatment was proposed.

No lights or sirens, but we got to keep the neck stabilizer!Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Meg got to take her first trip to the ER in an ambulance with a kiddo Wednesday afternoon.
Perrin (the six year old) fell, and witnesses say he must have hit his head. Because he didn't get up, and he didn't respond. A kindly neighbor checked on him, then called 911 when Perrin wouldn't answer whether or not he was ok. Meanwhile, without a coat, I'm running out the door to see what is up.
Two fire trucks and an ambulance later, someone tried to put an oxygen mask on his face. His eyes popped right open, and he said, "Whoa! What's that?!" Mmm hmm. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is where you can start to wonder - quite seriously now - if the kiddo was faking it.
They got his neck stabilized, and strapped him onto a backboard. I ditched the other two kids with a neighbor (Tai wasn't home from work yet.), grabbed the power of attorney that allows me to obtain medical care for Perrin, and grabbed his military ID card (insurance card). I wrote a quick note to Tai, and headed for the hospital in the front seat of the ambulance.
Ooooooh - the front seat of the ambulance had its own shocks. I didn't feel a single bump while in that seat! Oh, and did you know that they carry little maps of each street that shows which house is which, so they know right where to go? I thought that was damn cool. But they didn't run the lights or sirens. :(
Anyway, back to the story. We waited a good long while in the hospital. Perrin started to let me know, in small little ways, that this had all been a big joke on his part. Not a flat out confession yet, but...hints.
Now Perrin is allergic to the adhesive on most tapes, and they'd taped his head to the back board. The woman who registered us (She came to us, not vice versa...kinda nifty.) noticed the itching and asked about it, then offered to get a doctor to see if there was something they could use instead. Me, being The Mean Mommy, told her, "Oh no. That's not at all necessary. In fact, I'd rather you not. It won't HURT him, and I think right now would be an EXCELLENT time for him to be a bit uncomfortable. In fact, if you'd like to see to it that everyone else gets seen before we do? That'd be just grand." She understood - I wanted him to be uncomfortable and really notice the consequences of his little game.
After about an hour and a half of him being strapped down, able to look at nothing but the ceiling, complaining that his head hurt because he didn't have a pillow, and that his head itched because of the tape...he finally confessed. "I didn't hit my head when I fell down. I laid it down softly." Aha!
We had a nice long discussion about how not telling the truth can be the same as a lie. Like when someone thinks you're hurt, and they ask if you are ok, and you stay quiet? That's lying. And this was a big, big deal. TWELVE emergency workers came to our neighborhood to try to help a little boy who wasn't really hurt. And they could have been out helping other people who really were hurt or sick. Blah, blah, blah, insert more responsible mommy stuff here, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, finally made it home around 7:40. What a long evening! And what a shame - we were going to go to IHOP for dinner and go Christmas shopping. *sigh* Oh well. I'll count my blessings that we don't have to spend Christmas money on ambulance and ER bills - the kiddo's insurance will take care of it all.
Now I just need to figure out where to get that Emmy award made for him...cuz that might be all HE is getting for Christmas!

FRITCH, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/KFDA) – The newest member of the Fritch, Texas Police Department is a real attention getter — and that's really the point.
Meet police pig Darby O'Driscoll. He has been named the department mascot and is the center of attention wherever he goes.
It may sound like nothing but fun and games, but Darby has a very important job. The pig teaches children to run to police officers, instead of away.
Fritch Chief of Police Monte Leggett explained, "The main goal is it reaches the kids. That's our number one thing — is to make interaction with law enforcement and children a very pleasurable thing, a safe thing. [We want] them to know that it is safe, that we are the police [and] we're there to help them."
In addition to working in the community, Darby also has responsibilities as a fundraiser. The Fritch Police Department has been struggling to collect funds to buy a much needed patrol unit. The department currently has nine officers, but only three vehicles.
To help Darby also goes out in the community with officers to collect donations at various fundraising events. Any funds raised are put toward the purchase of that police unit.
In addition to the local opportunities to raise cash, Fritch police have also started a GoFundMe page to take in donations toward the purchase of a Ford Police Interceptor.
Fritch, Texas is about 40 miles north/northeast of Amarillo.

Down Syndrome
Rehersals with Motxila 21, Pamplona
Mila Barricarte and Daniel Muñoz told us about us their experience:
On Thursday, March 23, Mila and Daniel went to photograph Motxila 21 [a band from Pamplona that includes many musicians with Down Syndrome]. "We arrived at 7 a.m. They rehearsed in the district of La Chantrea. Roberto and María José were waiting for us. " On entering, Daniel says he saw several soccer buddies and Mila who noticed that there were many instruments (drums, a bass drum, a drums, a bass …) and photos of the group: "it was a very cool place." Daniel also told us: "We were a little nervous, because it was the first time we photographed people we do not know. They played several songs while we took pictures of them. " Mila says that the camera did not work well, that it tried to shoot but it did not obtain it. Daniel did not dare to approach so many people and so many cables. "We took several photos and stayed for a while to listen as they played. In the end they took a picture of us all together. We had a great time and we would like to repeat. "
Many thanks to the components of Motxila 21 for giving us the opportunity to photograph them and make us a gap in their calendar that we know they have very tight.

Mila Barricarte y Daniel Muñoz nos cuentan su experiencia:
El jueves 23 de marzo, Mila y Daniel fueron a fotografiar a Motxila 21 [una banda de Pamplona que incluye a muchos músicos con síndrome de Down]. Quedamos a las 7. Ensayaban en un local de la Chantrea. Allí nos esperaban Roberto y María José". Al entrar, Daniel dice que vio a varios compañeros de fútbol y Mila que se fijó en que había muchos instrumentos (tambores, un bombo, una batería, un contrabajo…) y fotos del grupo: "era un sitio muy chulo". Daniel también nos contó: "Estabamos un poco nerviosos, porque era la primera vez que fotografiábamos a personas que no conocemos. Tocaron varias canciones mientras les hacíamos fotos". Mila cuenta que la cámara no funcionaba bien, que intentaba disparar pero no lo conseguía. Daniel no se atrevía a acercarse con tanta gente y tantos cables. "Hicimos varias fotos y nos quedamos un rato a escuchar como tocaban. Al final nos hicieron una foto a todos juntos. Lo pasamos muy bien y nos gustaría repetir".
Muchas gracias a los componentes de Motxila 21 por darnos la oportunidad de fotografiarles y hacernos un hueco en su calendario que sabemos lo tienen muy apretado.

Willowbrook Mile Ribbon Cutting
Geraldo Rivera helped cut the ribbon to Willowbrook Walk, a mile-long path to honor people who suffered at Willowbrook State School, today, September 14.
The reporter who exposed the horror of Willowbrook was joined by William Fritz and Michael Kress of the College of Staten Island (CSI); Diane Buglioli, Co-Chair of the event and Deputy Executive Director of A Very Special Place; NYS Assemblyman Michael Cusick; and many others, including Bernard Carabello, a former resident of Willowbrook State School who now works a patient advocate for the NYS Office of People With Developmental Disabilities.
"I came to this place as a local reporter for Channel 7, Eyewitness News," Rivera told
reporter Joseph Padalino. "I had some doctors who told me I had to come and see how bad conditions were here. They got me a key so I could get in and film the conditions, which I did."
"The problem wasn't that people didn't care." Rivera continued. "The problem was that the whole notion that you could mass-produce care for the developmentally disabled the way you mass produce cars was very deeply flawed. It was doomed to fail. It was very archaic and it was primitive and thank God it's now part of distant history."
"I'd been at Willowbrook for 18 years!" Carabello told reporter Dolores Palermo. He said it was "bad, bad. The worst place I ever lived. Geraldo came and asked for me at Willowbrook. And that's how I got out. He got me out. Now I work for OPWDD. I'm an advocate. I advocate for people who can't talk for themselves."
"I'm just so proud to be a part of this," Cusick told reporter Gregory Perosi. "…because this will show the history of Willowbrook and what it has become."
Mr. Padalino observed that if not for people like Rivera, "I would have been in Willowbrook, but I wasn't. Thank you very much, Mr. Rivera."
The Willowbrook MIle is a self-guided tour of the former campus of the State School. It spans the campus of the College of Staten Island and New York State properties that still house services for people with disabilities. Stations on the walk include a commemorative Memorial Garden Plaque, Building 29 which housed more than 100 residents, The Willowbrook Archives and Special Collections at CSI, the Institute for Basic Research, and the Elizabeth Connelly Center.

What does a CLB do?
A CLB (Centrum voor Leerlingenbegeleiding), is a pupil guidance centre where parents, pupils and teachers can air their problems and ask specific questions. CLBs specialise in 4 fields: learning and studying, school careers, psychological and social functioning and preventative health care.
Every school intensively collaborates with a specific CLB, yet all CLBs are independent. Any query addressed to a CLB is treated with the utmost discretion.
Usually, CLBs take action when a teacher, special needs counsellor or principal becomes concerned about a certain pupil. In these cases, collaboration is essential, for the child's sake. Parents are obliged to cooperate in matters of truancy or medicals. Parents and pupils can also contact the CLB themselves.
CLB assistance is free of charge.

The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.Deng Xiaoping
"Deng Xiaoping"; 22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997) was a Chinese revolutionary and Politician/statesman. He was the leader of China from 1978 until his retirement in 1992. After Mao Zedong's death, Deng led his country through far-reaching market economic reforms. While Deng never held office as the List of Presidents of the People's Republic of China/head of state, List of premiers of the People's Republic of China/head of government or General Secretary of the Communist Party of China/General Secretary (that is, the leader of the Communist Party), he nonetheless was considered the "paramount leader" of the People's Republic of China from December 1978 to 1992. As the core of the second-generation leaders, Deng shared his power with several powerful older politicians commonly known as the Eight Elders.If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous leaders!

Have you had your dose of depressing reality today? I just had mine … it came in the form of this paragraph:
I may be wrong, but I've long thought that one question above all would haunt my imagined historian of our future: why did we do it? Given that our entire civilization had plenty of warning, and that ten minutes of unprejudiced thought ought to have been enough to demonstrate to anybody the absurdity of expecting to get away with infinite economic growth on a finite planet, why didn't we do what must, to the eyes of the future, look like the obviously right decision, and downshift to a less energy- and resource-intensive steady state economy while we had the chance? Why, instead, did we keep on lurching blindly forward on a one-way street headed straight to history's compost bin, all the while angrily shouting down the few that tried to warn us of where we were going?
That's from the Archdruid Report, a blog by John Michael Greer, who is the independent author of a variety of books and papers on an eclectic list of topics. Looking over his credentials and pondering his self-described title as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America, one could be forgiven for wondering about him. Serious author or eccentric dabbler?
I'm going to go with serious author for now. Reading his blog, I see no wild speculation or foaming at the mouth rhetoric. Just extremely well reasoned arguments for why the planet needs to get out of the cycle of destruction of our resources as we continue to pretend that the economies of the world can in fact sustain infinite growth.
Surely we are deluding ourselves on that one. And from that argument, all the others flow.
Anyway, have a look … this guy's writing is interesting even if you are a terminal cynic. And you might just find yourself haunted by some of what he says that is so obviously reasonable.

I recently got an opportunity to visit Varanasi with UP Tourism and Lonely Planet Magazine India. On our itinerary was Subah-e-Banaras which literally means a morning in Varanasi!
I am not a morning person by any stretch of imagination. I howl and cry when I am asked to wake up and assemble in the lobby at 4.00 am. I do not wish to leave my comfortable hotel room at any cost! But 4.00 am starts are necessary to enjoy anything remotely to do with sunrise. And by the end of it, I was actually thrilled to have experienced Subah-e-Banaras. It was actually the highlight of my Varanasi experience.
The event starts with Ganga Aarti at the Assi Ghat. The winter timings are 5.40 am to 7.00 am and the summer timings are 5.00 am to 7.00 am. The early comers can make use of the chairs put near the stage. Otherwise, people sit at the stairs. The organizers are happy to assist with photography provided you don't go and stand right in front of the stage where aarti is performed. We stayed only for the main aarti.
After the main aarti was over, we got down the stairs to the River Ganga. Kunal, our guide from Experience Varanasi had arranged for two big boats for our group. As I said before I am usually cranky in the morning but the aarti itself was an awakening experience. By the boat ride I was feeling calm and peaceful.
It feels a little surreal to start the boat ride before sunrise and slowly see the ghats come alive. Early morning boat ride on the River Ganga is a popular tourist activity.
In winter the river is home to Black Headed Gulls. There are boats selling bird feed to the tourists. Whenever a boat scatters the feed in water, the birds converge around it from all directions!
By the time the sun came out, the buildings by the ghats were casting beautiful reflections on the river! I loved the golden glow, there were reds too at a different junction.
Varanasi or Kashi is considered to be one of the ancient living cities. As the boat passes by the ghats, in a span of five minutes the scene changes from the pious taking a dip to the sound of temple bells, to the funeral pyres burning at the next ghat! Passing by life and death at such close quarters certainly brings home the ever present truth- life is just too short!
While I was still marveling at the proximity of life and beyond on the ghats of Varanasi, our boat docked back at the Assi Ghat and we walked to the Tulsidas Akhara. Akharas are the local wrestling arenas with a long tradition behind them. I was happy to meet the students, particularly Anjali, the female student of the Akhara. We witnessed a few wrestling matches.
Siyaram ji is one of the instructors of the Tulsidas Akhara. He is 65 years old and has the energy of someone half his age! He exercised with the gada like the pro that he is! Our guide had to cajole us off the venue with the promise of a local breakfast.
The morning aptly ended with the breakfast of Sabzi, Puri and Jalebi at the Sri Ram Bhandar. It was a delicious affair! I love such unpretentious food!
For me was fun to surprise the local people by talking to them in Bhojpuri, as my hometown is Gorakhpur in UP. It wasactually a pleasure to speak Bhojpuri after such a long time!
As I am not a morning person, I am usually cranky at the start of a day, more so if dares to start at 4.00 am. Four is night for me! In spite of that I thoroughly enjoyed the Subah-e-Baranas. I would highly recommend it. It is totally worth getting up in the morning to enjoy the rhythm of the ancient city!
I saw my name at placard at the Haridwar Railway Station. I smiled at the young man holding it and we walked out. I was looking for a car to take us to the hotel! We actually got into a rickshaw instead. That baffled me a but. But I soon realized why it was prudent. Hotel Alpana near Har Ki Paui in Haridwar is set among narrow lanes that lead to Har Ki Pauri! It will be a task to take a car there during the day time. It took us a few minutes to reach by cycle rickshaw! You can check out the hotel website for more details.
The Room
At Alpana Hotel I was staying at an executive room. It was large, spacious and had absolutely clean linen. The room rent is 3000 rupees plus tax. This was the most expensive room in the hotel. The other two categories go at 2600 rupees and 2000 rupees plus taxes. The rooms are centrally air-conditioned.
The bathroom was clean too. They have soap bars but no shampoo in there. But as it is a budget hotel I have no complains.
I met the young owners of the hotel. They have started managing it recently and they are already at work. The restaurant is being redesigned. They are adding a dormitory and upgrading the upholstery throughout the hotel.
If you re looking for a clean budget hotel near Har Ki Pauri, you should check out Hotel Alpana. I stayed there for two nights.
The Food at Alpana Hotel
I ate all my meals at the hotel. I tried a large variety of Indian food, kofta, kadhi daal, roti, aloo paratha, raita, rice and mushroom matar! The cook does a good job of feeding the guests. You could tell the server how much spices you wanted and they would cook the food accordingly.
There was a tea kettle in my room. For me it is essential for happiness. On many nights I like to make a cup of tea before I go to sleep. I always sleep better after it. But this is just a travel ritual, I don't do this at home somehow.
Har Ki Pauri and Ganga Aarti
Alpana Hotel is at a walking distance from Har Ki Pauri. I went to Ganga Aarti on both the evenings. The lanes to the kund are narrow and crowded. But they are lined with shops. It is fun to walk looking at the things for sale and sampling the food delights.
If you want to photograph the Aarti you need to arrive early. On the first evening we arrived just in time and I was almost at the end of the standing crowd.
On the second evening I arrived 45 minutes before and I was at the front of the standing crowd! On both the evenings I could not get close to the aarti.
Har Ki Pauri- A Foodie's Delight
I was tipped off about all the good food shops in the area, there is Raju Bhai ki Jalebi, Dudh Wale ki Lassi and Mathrua wale ki Mithai. I have sampled all of it and I have to say I can happily go back just for the food again!
Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi
Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi Temples are Shakti Peeths. There is a rope way that goes all the way up to the temple. There is a walking path too. I used the rope way for both the places.
Mansa Devi Rope way is once again at a walking distance from the Alpana Hotel. The hotel gave me a combined ticket for both the temples along with the transportation ticket between the two.
I visited Mansa Devi, and then took the transport to Chandi Devi Rope Way. After visiting the Chandi Devi Temple, I took the transport back to Mansa Devi. From there I walked back to the hotel!
I am not overtly religious but I have enjoyed visiting Churches, Dargahs and Monasteries in the past. So I decided to go to Haridwar in the same spirit. I was impressed by the Ganga Aarti and the food in town!
PS. My trip to Haridwar was sponsored by Hotel Alpana.
I am Mridula Dwivedi, I love to travel! I started my travel blog in 2005. I have been going places since! For more details do check out my media kit! In another life I did a Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur. I was a professor when I quit my job in 2015.

Sushi Guru is now open in Plaza Midwood.
Despite mediocre space and decor, SouthPark's Sushi Guru has earned a reputation as one of the top sushi restaurants in our city. So it makes sense that they're now launching a flagship restaurant in the heart of Plaza Midwood.
Sushi Guru has a 4/5 rating on Yelp, 4.7/5 on Facebook, 3.5/5 rating on Zomato and 4.1/5 rating on Google. The Agenda named it the #9 sushi restaurant in Charlotte.
Sushi Guru's new Plaza Midwood location is about 30 yards away from Whiskey Warehouse on The Plaza. The exact location is 1217 The Plaza. After construction delays, they're now officially open.
Hours are 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 11 a.m. – midnight on Friday and Saturday.
Here are 5 details you need to know.
(1) The two-story restaurant will feature dining on each level, plus two large glass garage doors and a spacious outdoor patio.
The downstairs dining area isn't large, so expect a lot of dining to take place on the front patio. The second story will have a bar. I've also been told that the basement will serve as a wine cellar.
(2) Instead of just sushi, the Sushi Guru's Plaza Midwood 11-page menu will feature ramen, skewers, meats and poke bowls.
The entree section of the menu is divided between the different ways of cooking the food items — Tempura, which is lightly breaded and deep fried (ranging from $7-$18); Teppanyaki, which is a Japanese style of cooking that involves an iron griddle to grill or pan fry, (ranging from $8 to $24); and Robatayaki, which is a method of cooking similar to barbecuing (ranging from $6 to $24).
Each Ramen option is about $13 and serves a hearty portion of noodles, vegetables, broth, and toppings.
If you're there for lunch, go with the Lunch Bento Box option which combine several different pieces off of the menu (around $14).
Don't worry, you'll still be able to get innovative favorites like Sushi Guru's sushi pizza.
(3) Cocktails will impress. A few months ago, Sushi Guru hired a world-class bartender from the Philippines named Michael Tubiera.
He'll be running the cocktail bar on the second floor.
I expect Michael and Sushi Guru to make an immediate impact on Charlotte's growing craft cocktail culture.
[Related Agenda story: This award-winning 26-year-old bartender could work anywhere in the world and he's about to launch his cocktail program at Sushi Guru]
(4) The first floor will have a poke bar, but you'll still be able to get all your favorite sushi rolls.
Poke, so hot right now. As you'd expect, you'll be able to create your own poke bowl or choose from Sushi Guru's pre-set options.
Poke bowls will run you $14 from their menu or you can create your own for $12.
I love poke bowls, but you'll find me at the second-floor sushi bar watching the chefs create Sushi Guru's tasty rolls.
The five most popular rolls at Sushi Guru are their Guru Roll, Hamachi Jalapeño Roll, SouthPark Roll, Salmon Lover Roll or the Tuna Lover Roll.
(5) Sushi Guru's Plaza Midwood parking lot is tiny (I think I saw about 15 spaces), so they've installed 7 car lifts. Yes, car lifts.
It'll be interesting to see if car lifts start being utilized in more urban hotspots around our driver-happy city.

I've tried it, you can still see the imperfection. Plus I think it might be better to use images since there's less rendering to do.
I tried DGS, it's still not as smooth as I want it to be, you can see the rough edges. It's a good try though, thanks. Perfect that's what I needed.
Yeah I know its possible with CEF, but I want to avoid that. Trying to do it through Dx, I've seen people do something with dxDrawImageSection, any idea on that?
Already did, problem with that is that it's not really smooth on the edges, you see it breaking. What do you recommend?

About the Painting
The Zuni people call themselves the Ashiwi and are one of more than twenty independent communities making up the Pueblos of the Southwest. The name "pueblo" or "village" was given to them by Spanish explorers describing the adobe communities that filled the region.
It was fabulous reports of the exquisite jewelry made by craftsmen of the seven Zuni villages in northwest New Mexico that first inspired Coronado's search for the legendary "Seven Cities of Cibola." One traditional form of jewelry made by Pueblo peoples is "heishi," meaning "shell jewelry." Necklaces such as the one shown in this portrait were made from shell and semi-precious stones, often imported from the California coast or even South America, and ground into perfectly- shaped beads by Pueblo artisans. A single necklace can contain thousands of these beads. Heishi making is one of the oldest art forms in North America and is still practiced by expert Pueblo craftsmen today.

South Africa has scored another major deal as earlier this week the Minister of Science and Technology, Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane, signed an international treaty which will establish South Africa's Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) as an intergovernmental organisation tasked with building and operating the world's most powerful astronomy telescope.
According to SA News, the signing ceremony was presided over by Italy's Minister of Education, Marco Bussetti, and witnessed by ministers, ambassadors and other high level representatives from countries participating in the SKA project.
"South Africa's signature on the establishment of SKA as an intergovernmental legal entity to oversee the construction and operational phases of the SKA project is a crucial milestone and one which should be celebrated," said Kubayi-Ngubane.
The website added that seven countries have already signed the treaty – South Africa, Australia, China, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom. India and Sweden, who took part in the multilateral negotiations, will now have a year to sign the treaty.
The treaty has been named the "Rome Convention" in recognition of Italy's role in the negotiation process. The treaty will establish the SKAO as the second intergovernmental organisation dedicated to astronomy in the world, after the Europe Southern Observatory, located in Germany.
"What makes this particularly unique is the fact that, for the first time, Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe have committed at the intergovernmental level to collaborate on a large-scale science project as equal partners. This represents the start of a new era for global science governance," concluded the Minister.

Jason Tebb, Group Chief Operating Officer of Go Develop comments on the Nationwide House Price Index:
"Even though this morning's data from the Nationwide suggests a slight softening at topline level in terms of house price growth, the headline figures suggests that prices have still crept upwards on an annual basis. However, this doesn't convey the 'two tier' market that's still prevalent, with the Midlands, North and Wales all seeing solid growth and healthy transaction levels, whilst London and the South East continues to see a more difficult climate.
The good news is, home ownership numbers continue to climb in the UK, supporting by rising employment levels and low lending rates. Although the political climate has acted as a brake on the market in some areas since the Referendum, we are confident that once clarity around our EU departure is achieved one way or the other, the market will step up several gears due to the pent up demand that's been building for such a long time. With the Spring Statement due the same week as the next round of meaningful votes on Brexit, it remains to be seen if the Chancellor will give the property market a boost by introducing the long-called for changes to Stamp Duty or indeed, if he's got any further surprises for investors and developers up his sleeve. However, regardless of what's going on at Westminster, with continued and significant levels of demand in evidence for new build properties across the UK, we're well-placed to support more SME developers get their projects off the ground in 2019 and indeed, are actively investing as we speak to support Britain's housebuilders."

Avoid a Major Auto Repair in Point Pleasant, NJ with Regular Maintenance Checks
Keeping a car in good running order is necessary if you want to avoid accidents and costly service repairs. That is why auto experts recommend that you make it a habit to have your car's parts and systems manually and diagnostically checked. Doing so can help you avoid some major financial headaches down the road.
Checking Your Car Diagnostically
When you need to schedule an auto repair in Point Pleasant, NJ, it should be one that has already been diagnosed, meaning a small repair that was caught in time before it became a major expense. Diagnostic checks are important as they help a technician troubleshoot a problem or prevent a major repair.
For example, if your auto sounds strange when you are driving or is emitting a strange smell, you can have the car diagnostically checked before an auto repair is made. The equipment used to inspect autos diagnostically is used for the following activities:
- Electronic and computerized diagnostic assessments
- Electric system maintenance
- Electrical diagnostic testing
- ABS diagnostics – battery and ignition checks
In addition to the above inspections, you can also have a diagnostic check ran when you take your car in for an oil change. Most professional auto repair facilities also offer a free check engine light scan and a free battery charging system evaluation.
Avoid an Unexpected Breakdown
Because of the diagnostic equipment that is used today, you can have your car's computerized parts, wiring, and electronics thoroughly checked and assessed. There is no reason for a breakdown when you can take advantage of this type of service offer.
Where to Have Your Car Checked
You can find out more about this type of inspection when you contact a service company such as DeFelice of Point Pleasant Auto Center. Make it a point to make sure your car is fully operational for better performance and safety on the roadway.

i'm a 27 years old guy who has only dated once in my entire life. i had been dealing with depression for almost my entire life until 25, and that was when i began the journey to heal. i have recently began to have interest in dating and realized i'm too late to this dating game… i'm hoping to get some advice in choosing the right woman.
i experience a lot of issues talking to women. i've been told a lot of times that i look like a celebrity and when i have a good day(happy face), i'm the kind of guy who would get free stuff in a bakery or supermarkets. it's probably because of my depression, i dedicate a lot of time to working out as a way to distract myself. I remember when i began to have the lean and athletic body, women completely stopped approaching me. i asked a few friends why and they said i've become too intimidating. i want to be humble but i sincerely want some good advice… my depression has slowed me down on a lot of things in the past and i need to work hard fast.

text: Bogus Caller Warning Customer News, News Trent & Dove is today warning customers not to allow anyone into their home claiming to be working for "The Electricity Board" without seeing any identification. The warning is being made after reports of bogus calls in parts of Horninglow, where fraudsters are claiming to be from "The Electricity Board." If you are in doubt, please keep anyone from entering your property. Our Operatives and approved Contractors will always have clear identification badges and will not mind you asking them to show it to you. If you are still unsure, please phone us to confirm before letting anyone in. It is also important to note that we would never ask for any sort of cash payment from a customer before carrying out work and wherever possible, appointments will have been arranged at a time and date that is suitable for you. Our customer safety is very important to us so please ensure that you stay vigilante at all times. Anyone who suspects a bogus caller can call us on 01283 528 528 to verify their identity. The following advice about bogus calls has been provided by the Police Force; If you receive a phone call asking for your bank details or for large sums of cash call police from a different phone, for example a neighbours, or wait 5 minutes and be sure you hear a dial tone before dialling. Don't be frightened to ask for identification and always check it carefully. If you're not sure, ask them to come back another day. Think about installing a door chain and use it. Keep the door on the chain until you've seen identification. If you need your glasses to read the identification, close the door before going to find them. Don't leave the door open and unattended. Remember to lock the back door before opening the front. Don't be pressured into letting someone into your home if you have suspicions. Don't keep large amounts of cash in the house. Don't believe scare stories. Not all callers are genuine.

Drug arrest at medical examiner's office
Investigator accused of stealing from dead
Drug possession charges have been filed against a Seattle death investigator accused of stealing prescription painkillers, methamphetamine and morphine from King County's dead for nearly six years.
Court documents filed Monday portray investigator Thomas Chapin of the King County Medical Examiner's Office as a habitual user willing to abuse his position to feed his drug addiction.
Chapin, 29, who is on paid leave, is charged with possession of stolen tablets of prescription methamphetamine and the painkiller oxycodone. Investigators believe that Chapin had been stealing drugs for years, alleging in court documents that he had "consumed illicit drugs such as black tar heroin, crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine" since joining the Medical Examiner's Office in November 2002.
"We had no indications of problems before," said James Apa, spokesman for Public Health – Seattle & King County, which operates the Medical Examiner's Office. "This event has really pointed out where we need to make improvements," he added.
As a death investigator, Chapin traveled to the homes of those who died unexpectedly or suspiciously to retrieve the remains and other evidence. He was one of 12 examiner's office employees responsible for notifying the next of kin and gleaning the initial information about the death scene.
Police believe that Chapin began stealing drugs from homes and evidence lockers about six months after he was hired. His drug use quickly increased, growing into an addiction that caused him to steal "prescription and illicit drugs whenever the opportunity presented itself," according to police reports.
Reached by phone Monday, Chapin's father, Sidney, declined to speak at length about his son. He said the family was aware of the investigation. "I knew something was going on, but I was not aware of all the details," he said.
Chapin turned himself in to Seattle police June 23, after an investigation was launched into the disappearance of several pills.
On May 10, a death investigator retrieved the body of a man who had died shortly after surgery. In order to rule out drug overdose as the cause of death, the investigator inventoried the man's supply of morphine tablets and Percocet-brand oxycodone.
Days later, the pathologist, Dr. Brian Mazrim, again counted the pills during an autopsy, finding that 39 pills were missing. The office began an internal investigation and reported the missing pills to police.
According to police statements, Chapin abruptly left to visit his parents in California after he learned of the investigation. He later told investigators that his family had persuaded him to turn himself in, even if doing so put his $60,000-a-year job at risk.
Chapin told officers he couldn't remember the details of many of his thefts. But he admitted to the painkiller theft as well as an earlier theft of 90 tablets of Desoxyn-brand methamphetamine stored in an autopsy room office.
Apa said the Medical Examiner's Office has made changes aimed making it more difficult for personnel to steal drugs.
In deaths investigated by the Medical Examiner's Office, investigators take custody of all drugs, legal and illegal, that are thought to be related to the death. Medications are retained for at least six months before being destroyed.
Previously, drug counts were recorded only when the initial inventory was taken with the deceased patients, Apa said. Now the office will do subsequent inventories.
Drugs weren't secured at a single site, and were accessible to all death investigators.
"Since we discovered (the thefts), we've taken some immediate steps to address the situation," he said. "All the controlled substances have been moved to a separate medical room that is only accessible by five members of the senior staff."
Two felony drug possession charges have been filed against Chapin, who has no criminal record. He would face six months in jail if convicted as charged, but can avoid jail if he completes a court-ordered drug treatment program.
The case has been referred to a special court for drug offenders, said Dan Donohoe, a King County Prosecutor's Office spokesman. Through that program, Chapin would likely be ordered to undergo a year of intensive treatment in exchange for a dismissal of charges.
Apa said that Chapin is on paid administrative leave and that the county is "in the process of terminating his employment."
