Serena Williams falls in doubles win with Venus
LONDON (AP) Serena Williams was able to laugh off a tumble onto the lap of a front-row spectator at Wimbledon, and she and her sister Venus went on to earn their first doubles victory of the year.
The siblings came back to beat Oksana Kalashnikova and Olga Savchuk 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 in a first-round match lasting nearly two hours Wednesday.
At 3-all in the final set, Serena slipped on the grass and ended up falling over the short barrier near the stands at Court 3, but did not appear hurt. She chuckled about it - as did her mother and agent.
The Williams sisters had lost the only other doubles match they played together in 2014.
This was their first appearance as a team at Wimbledon since winning the 2012 championship.

The BBC is three months behind on procuring an intelligent video player that is set to be used throughout the Olympic Games this summer.
In a notice that went out in June last year the broadcasting giant highlighted the need for a third party to build, provision and support an intelligent video player that could be used to cover all aspects of the Olympics.
The notice made particular reference to the BBC needing a working version of the player by 31 December 2011 in order to test on suitable sporting events ahead of the games, and claimed that if this did not happen it would "face a large integration job very late in the deliveryand may miss the opportunity to identify and fix performance issues along the way".
However, it has been revealed that the BBC has only just awarded the contract to a UK company called DeltaTre Media this week, putting it at least three months behind its testing schedule.
The Olympic Games begin on 27 July in London, meaning that the BBC now has under four months to test the video player, compared with almost seven months as was originally intended.
Computerworld UK contacted the BBC to ask whether sufficient testing would be carried out and was told that all digital services would be delivered on time, but it could not comment on the specifics of this procurement.
"We will be offering a wide range of digital services to audiences during the Olympics, and video is an important part of our plans. We are at an advanced stage of development and are on track to both test and deliver our digital services ahead of the Games," said a spokesperson for the BBC.
The precise value of the deal is unknown, but the original notice suggests that the video player could cost the BBC up to £300,000.
This story, "BBC Three Months Behind on Olympics Intelligent Video Player" was originally published by Computerworld UK.

I have to give another hat tip to Karl Denninger for posting the following videos. Glenn Beck has been painted as a radical lately, that's exactly what happens to people who simply tell the truth about the establishment.
In these videos, however, he is telling the truth with math. Exponential math is what you are seeing in his first demonstration. In fact, only pointing out our current account deficit is being far too kind, in my opinion. Our real debts, of course, are many times that. Well worth the time to view this series, well done Glenn.
Now, in terms of a new currency, yes, one is coming. Hopefully it will indeed be a new world order, but hopefully NOT one that the current oligarchs envision. Radical? We'll see.

GM's man of chair and executive of the chiefly office, Rick Wagoner, has a new title: head assuager of our darkest fears. Wagoner announced yesterday the company will indeed resume plans for a new line of rear-wheel-drive cars that include the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac G8. Last month, vice chair Bob Lutz had said the project had been put on hold (sorry, that they'd hit the "pause button.") while the company sussed out the potential for restrictive government standards on fleet mileage. Wagoner also used his pedestal to chide the feds for the lack of a comprehensive energy policy, which would, assumedly, prevent the corporate heart attacks that occur as volatile gas prices screw with their plans. Yeah, us too.

Kids and Smoking
The health risks of smoking are well known, but kids and teens continue to smoke and use chewing tobacco. Many young people pick up these habits every year — in fact, 90% of all adult smokers started when they were kids.
So it's important to make sure kids understand the dangers of smoking and using chewing tobacco:
- Tobacco cigarettes are the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States, and can cause cancer, heart disease, and lung disease.
- E-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs (water pipes), which have become popular in recent years, are filled with tobacco, nicotine, and other harmful chemicals.
- Chewing tobacco (smokeless or spit tobacco) can lead to nicotine addiction, oral cancer, gum disease, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks.
Talking with your kids about the risks of these products and setting clear rules about not using them can help protect them from these unhealthy habits.
The Facts About Smoking and Tobacco
One reason that smoking and chewing tobacco are major health hazards is because they contain the chemical nicotine. Someone can get addicted to nicotine within days of first using it. In fact, the nicotine in tobacco can be as addictive as cocaine or heroin. Which means that once a person starts to smoke, it's very hard to stop.
Smoking and tobacco use can harm every body system and lead to health problems such as heart disease, stroke, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), and many types of cancer — including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer. People who smoke also have an increased risk of infections like bronchitis and pneumonia.
Besides these long-term problems, tobacco and other chemicals can affect the body quickly. They increase heart rate and raise blood pressure, which can harm athletic performance. They also irritate the throat, cause bad breath, and damage the airways, causing the well-known "smoker's cough."
Finally, many studies show that young smokers are more likely to experiment with marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or other drugs.
The Attraction for Kids
Kids might be drawn to smoking and chewing tobacco for any number of reasons — to look cool, act older, lose weight, seem tough, or feel independent.
But parents can combat those draws and keep kids from trying — and getting addicted to — smoking and chewing tobacco. Establish a good foundation of communication with your kids early on to make it easier to work through tricky issues like tobacco use.
Prevention Tips
To help prevent your kids from smoking and using chewing tobacco, keep these guidelines in mind:
- Talk about it in a way that doesn't make kids fear punishment or judgment.
- It's important to keep talking to kids over the years about the dangers of tobacco use. Even the youngest child can understand that smoking is bad for the body.
- Ask what kids find appealing — or unappealing — about smoking. Be a patient listener.
- Encourage kids to get involved in activities that prohibit smoking, such as sports.
- Show that you value your kids' opinions and ideas.
- Discuss ways to respond to peer pressure to smoke. Your child may feel confident simply saying "no." But also offer alternative responses such as "It will make my clothes and breath smell bad" or "I hate the way it makes me look."
- Emphasize what kids do right rather than wrong. Self-confidence is a child's best protection against peer pressure.
- Encourage kids to walk away from friends who don't respect their reasons for not smoking.
- Explain how much smoking governs the daily life of kids who start doing it. How do they afford the cigarettes? How do they have money to pay for other things they want? How does it affect their friendships?
- Establish firm rules that exclude smoking and chewing tobacco from your house and explain why: Smokers smell bad, look bad, and feel bad, and it's bad for everyone's health.
What to Watch For
If you smell smoke on your child's clothing, try not to overreact. Ask about it first — maybe he or she has been hanging around with friends who smoke or just tried one cigarette. Many kids do try a cigarette at one time or another but don't go on to become regular smokers.
Other signs of tobacco use include:
- coughing
- throat irritation
- hoarseness
- bad breath
- decreased athletic performance
- getting more colds
- stained teeth and clothing (also signs of chewing tobacco use)
- shortness of breath
Getting Through to Kids
Sometimes even the best foundation isn't enough to stop kids from experimenting with smoking. It may be tempting to get angry, but it's better to focus on communicating with your child.
Here are some tips that may help:
- Resist lecturing or turning your advice into a sermon.
- Find out what appeals to your child about smoking and talk about it honestly.
- Many times, kids aren't able to appreciate how their current behaviors can affect their future health. So talk about the immediate downsides to smoking: less money to spend on things they like, shortness of breath, bad breath, yellow teeth, and smelly clothes.
- Stick to the smoking rules you've set up, and don't let a child smoke at home just to keep the peace.
- If you hear, "I can quit any time I want," ask your child to show you by quitting cold turkey for a week.
- Try not to nag. Ultimately, quitting is the smoker's decision.
- Help your son or daughter develop a quitting plan and offer information and resources, and reinforce the decision to quit with praise.
- Stress the natural rewards that come with quitting: freedom from addiction, improved fitness, better athletic performance, and improved appearance.
- Encourage a meeting with your doctor, who can be supportive and may have treatment plans.
If You Smoke
Kids are quick to spot any contradiction between what their parents say and what they do. Despite what you might think, most kids say that the adult whom they most want to be like when they grow up is a parent.
If you're a smoker:
- First, admit that you made a mistake by starting to smoke and that if you had it to do over again, you'd never start.
- Second, quit. It's not simple and it may take a few attempts and the extra help of a program or support group. But your kids will be encouraged as they see you overcome your addiction to tobacco.

The 'Autosurf Banner Credits' addon enables you to implement a system whereby members can automatically assign a percentage of their site credits earned to one or more of their advertised sites. Different percentages can be used for each site. The script will automatically detect if the member tries to add more than a total of 100% of their earned credits and prevent them from doing so. As the member surfs, details are shown of the auto-assigned credits, along with the usual details of their overall credits earned etc.
You can see a demo of the addon at our Autosurf demo site, here.
(You will need to login to see the game as it is a members only page:

IMPORTANT WARNING: You should only install this addon yourself if you are very confident with editing php script files, and with MySQL. Changes are required to both admin and member area files, and if you make any error, you can accidentally disable your site. If you are not confident about this, you should probably choose to have this installed for you. Also, note that there are many variations in different versions of the main script, so the supplied instructions may only serve as a guide - your own knowledge will also be required to apply the changes to your particular version of the Autosurf script. This script is only guaranteed to work with the version of the main script that we at Scripts-R-Us supply.

Graef/Khosrow-Pour House
(MAP) 206 East Granada Avenue, Hershey Pa. 17033
*** 2002 Preservation Award Winner ***
The Derry Township Historical Society has designated the Graef House as its sixth Preservation Award winner, September 2002. The 2 ½ story stucco house made out of 2 foot thick white stone at 206 East Granada Avenue was built in 1914 and it was first occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Graef who lived in this house until 1969. Mr. Graef initially worked for the Hershey Chocolate Company and then later in 1946 became the first Postmaster of the Hershey Post Office. This house is often known as the "Postmaster" house.
The next owner of the house was Dr. Paul Wagner, an Oral Surgeon who lived in this house until Mr. and Mrs. Viviano purchased the house. The Vivianos made significant expansions to the house and lived there for more than 20 years. The next owner of the house was Thomas and Nancy Schmidt who lived in this house until 1998.
The house was next purchased by Dr. Mehdi Khosrow-Pour and his wife Beth A. Peiffer. Dr. Khosrow-Pour is a former Penn State professor of business and currently President of Idea Group Inc. an international publishing company with US headquarters in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Upon the purchase of the house, Dr. Khosrow-Pour and Ms. Peiffer put the house through significant restorations and restored the house to its original settings.
Both interior and exterior looks of the house have been restored close to their original looks of 1914 when it was built.


text: The philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote during the eighteenth century of the importance of education. Rousseau argued that all children are born 'naturally good', and that education and experience could cultivate and affirm this natural goodness. It was the responsibility of families and society, Rousseau found, to enable this goodness. Noël Hallé's painting illustrates this principle with the help of an image drawn from Roman history. The widow Cornelia, daughter of a great warrior, receives an ostentatiously dressed visitor. In response to the rich fabrics and the precious jewellery of the visitor, Cornelia, referring to her children, asserts 'These are my jewels.' Cornelia is the supreme example of the virtuous mother, who places the emotional, intellectual and moral needs of her children above materialism. Note her simple clothing and hair and her inquisitive, upright children; two of them, Tiberius and Gaius, would go on to become great leaders.

Port Colborne's Multimodal Port Facilities
The City of Port Colborne is located in the Niagara Region of the Province of Ontario. The City is strategically located where the Welland Canal opens into Lake Erie. The Canal is a key part of the St. Lawrence Seaway System. Any vessel that passes from the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan or Lake Superior passes right through the community.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, the City of Port Colborne and a number of private operators provide port services in Port Colborne. The Port provides several strategic advantages. It is within 20 minutes of the border crossing at Buffalo, NY and 30 minutes from the border crossing at Niagara Falls, NY.
Port Colborne has extensive experience in the movement of bulk goods such as aggregates, grain and energy products. A public grain elevator acts as a storage facility and intermediate location to move bulk product from smaller ships to larger ships. Snider Dock Service and Great Lakes Stevedoring, a division of Quebec Stevedoring Limited, offer stevedoring services in Port Colborne, with immediate connections to road and rail.
The capabilities for the movement of over-dimensional and specialized project cargo gives Port Colborne an advantage not found in many port facilities on the Great Lakes. Operators in Port Colborne have experience and expertise in handling:
Wind Towers
Wind Turbine Blades
Plate and Roll Steel
Large Engineered Products
Complementing Port Colborne's location advantages is the City owned Port Colborne Harbour Railway which connects to both CN and CP main lines. The Port Colborne Harbour Railway is operated by Trillium Rail, which manages several short-lines in Ontario.
Many shipping companies choose Port Colborne over the winter months for ship repair, retrofitting and maintenance. Port Colborne's thriving marine industry also includes several companies that specialize in ship repairs and upgrades. This complements the City's strong fabricated metals cluster.
In January, 2009, Business Xpansion Journal identified Port Colborne as a strategic border gateway. The publication's January 2009 Logistics and Warehousing issue included a half page overview of the City of Port Colborne's role as a strategic border gateway and highlighted many unique advantages for the port and the community.
Port Colborne's multimodal advantages truly support the "Water + Rail + Road + Air + Location" messaging which recent marketing leverages. These same multimodal advantages also build on the concept of the City of Port Colborne as a hub for port activities in Niagara.
"Working with the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation and industry partners we are actively marketing the strengths and opportunities in our community which includes location, infrastructure and most importantly the residents and labour force. It appears our message is starting to resonate in the marketplace.", said Mayor Vance Badawey.

An extract from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Vwaps" (and also lyrics from "CRASH – The Musical").
Proprietary's a mystery man but clearly he's no fool, For he's a prop trader who defies Paul Volker's Rule. He's the bafflement of Dodd and Frank, the SEC's despair: For when they reach the trading floor - Proprietary's not there!
Proprietary, Proprietary, there's no one like Proprietary, He makes his bank a lot of cash but also notoriety. The sheer size of his trading book would make John Paulson stare, But when you reach the trading floor - Proprietary's not there! You may seek him in his bank's results, to do so's surely fair - But I tell you once and once again, Proprietary's not there!
Proprietary's called many things, his presence is denied; You would know him if you saw him, his VaR is hard to hide. His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed; His suit is tailored by the best, his timing's finely honed. He changes job from time to time with titles that are fake; But when you think he's halfway gone, he's there, make no mistake!
Proprietary, Proprietary, there's no one like Proprietary, He hides behind his Bloomberg screens, he's arbing volatility. You may meet him in a wine bar, you may see him in The Square - But when the trade's been settled, then Proprietary's not there!
He's outwardly respectable (if you trust those Chinese walls). But his punts are really quite immense, his limit never falls. They call it "marketmaking", just getting those commissions in, Or maybe, if they're really pushed, it's "enlightened positioning". And if you read the bank's reports and P&Ls with care - Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Proprietary's not there!
And when those in compliance find a million's gone astray, Or the treasury's faulty algo loses billions in a day, Or the London Whale's tempest wreaks so very much despair - Then it's useless to investigate - Proprietary's not there! And when the loss has been disclosed, the regulators say: "It must have been Proprietary!" - but he's a mile away. He's sure to be on gardening leave, or moving to hedge funds, Or engaged in doing complicated long-division sums.
Proprietary, Proprietary, there's no one like Proprietary, There never was a job with such amazing lack of clarity. He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare: At whatever time the trade took place - PROPRIETARY WASN'T THERE! They say that all the bankers whose wicked deeds are widely known (I might mention Adoboli, I might mention young Jérôme) Are nothing more than agents for the man who quietly fades Into banks' opaque balance sheets: the Napoleon of Trades!

Lightships | 03/04/12
Lightships, the new musical outpost from Gerard Love, release their debut album Electric Cables today.
Described as "a record to cuddle up to and cherish" by The Guardian, and awarded such unambiguous praise as "bliss, bliss, bliss" by Uncut, Electric Cables is an album of tenderly observational songs, played with an invigorating and easy sense of purpose; the sound of friends enjoying one another's company and allowing ideas and experiments to flourish. It's a complex and rewarding record that you'll want to keep coming back to.
The band are celebrating this launch by releasing a free download of a remix of opening track "Two Lines" by house music supremo Raf Daddy of the Greco-Roman collective and half of The 2 Bears. It adds a driving beat, electronic haze and killer bassline to the beautifully chiming guitar line already present in the shimmering original track. Listen and download it directly into your heart (via your computer and some ears) right here:
The album was recorded by Gerard Love and such Glasgow-based luminaries as Dave McGowan (guitar, Teenage Fanclub), Brendan O'Hare (drums, from the first incarnation of Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley (flute, International Airport and The Pastels), Jim McCulloch (clarinet) and Bob Kildea (bass, Belle & Sebastian).
Lightships will be performing their first ever shows at the beginning of May, playing shows at Glasgow's CCA on Friday the 4th of May and The Lexington in London on Tuesday the 8th of May. They will be supported by Snowgoose – a band featuring the aforementioned Jim McCulloch, formerly of The Soup Dragons.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Snooty? No brown-nosers need apply
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. Why do dogs have black noses? –M.R. Ramsey
A. Some don't, like a weimaraner or vizsla whose nose matches its silver or red coat color, says New Scientist magazine's "The Last Word." In fact, many puppies start out with pinkish noses that only later darken. One genetic pressure toward black is protection against sunburn, affecting both dogs and cats in areas not fur-protected. Pink-nosed dogs, hairless breeds, and dogs with very thin hair on their ears need to be protected with sunscreen. Another pressure is dog breeders' longstanding preference for black noses, an aesthetic consideration that applies selective influence in pedigree dogs, "adding a bit of human-directed evolution."
Q. In what sport are manufacturers actually being asked to degrade the next generation of equipment? –D. Scott
A. Golf, constituting possibly a first in the sporting world, says David Gould in Popular Mechanics. At issue is how well the modern golfball does its job– too well, says the Augusta National Golf Club, golf course architects and others, including the U.S. Golf Association. Because better and better balls have contributed to longer and longer drives, courses need to keep making renovations, an expensive proposition. At Augusta National, for example, yards have been increased from 6985 in 1999 to 7445 for the 2006 Masters Tournament, the equivalent of one hole! So golf ball makers have been asked to submit prototypes that fly 15-25 yards shorter than current balls when driven at 120 mph.
Three key steps to help "clip a golf ball's wings": 1. Change the polybutadiene-based core to effect less efficient energy transfer and reduce velocity. 2. Soften the mantle so the ball regains its round shape less quickly, altering acceleration and spin. 3. Revert to prior dimple shapes and geometry, thus increasing ball drag.
In other words, golf technology in "reverse drive."
Q. If your two eyes are of different colors, then you probably already know the term for this rare condition. Does it have any special significance? –L.Olsakovsky
A. Called "heterochromia iridium," famous examples reportedly are Jane Seymour (one green iris, one brown) and Dan Aykroyd (blue, brown). Kate Bosworth is said to have partial heterochromia– meaning two different colors in the same iris– with two blue eyes but a hazel section at the bottom of one. Heterochromia can be genetic or caused by eye disease or injury. So check with a doc in any case, and certainly check if an eye suddenly starts changing colors. But don't worry if your dog, cat or horse exhibits heterochromia, since it's quite common in these species.
Q. At a math conference of eccentrics, you meet a lady with nice sinusoidal curves– a real prime number! At one point in the spirited evening you mention your palindromic bank account, i.e., its total reading the same forward and backward. (What you don't mention is that it's only $1001.) This prompts her to confide that her bank account total is a "pandigital" number. Wow! You haven't encountered one of those before. So just how rich is she? –K. Federline
A. Pandigital means all 10 digits are used and 0 is not the first digit, says Clifford A. Pickover in Wonders of Numbers. The smallest number to meet these specs would be 1,023,456,789, making her a billionaire at least! And nobody says there can't be many more digits.
Things get tricky, however, when you recall other types of pandigitals, for example, "zeroless" pandigital numbers (123456789 = 123+ million); or ones where exclusivity rules out repeat digits; or (riches be gone) even pandigital fractions such as 6729/13458, worth 50 cents! She sure looks worth a lot more than that.
Just how eccentric is the lovely lady?

It was a bright and sunny day, and suddenly an agile software development project began. The previous day, someone had an idea for a new system and decided that an agile team should be formed to build that system. So she mentioned the idea to both her business and IT colleagues and they all agreed that it was a good idea to do this. Luckily, sufficient funding was available and a qualified agile development team was waiting to be put to work. More importantly, no one else had plans for either the funds or the project team. With full stakeholder support, funding, and the right people for the job, the project was off to a great start.
If only it were that easy. Getting a project started is often a long and difficult process involving significant political maneuvering over many months, if not years. Organizations have limited resources and many opportunities in which to invest those resources. As a result, you must choose wisely when it comes to starting up a potential IT project if you want to truly maximize stakeholder return on investment (ROI). This is true of any IT project, including agile ones.
A common concept within the agile community is that of "Iteration 0," called "Sprint 0" by Scrum teams, which I described in "Initiating an Agile Project" (www.ddj.com/architect/188700850). It is during this iteration that you do the fundamental work of getting your project team organized. You'll do some initial requirements envisioning to better understand the scope, and more importantly drive your myriad of stakeholders to a reasonable concurrence as to that scope. You'll also do some initial architectural envisioning to identify a potential technical strategy. In parallel, you will be bringing people into the team, setting up workstations, doing initial planning, and whatever else it takes to initiate the project. These activities are all important, but they presume that someone has made the decision to go ahead with the project to begin with. So this "first" iteration, which we originally tacked on to most agile methods once our exuberance wore off and we realized that there was a bit more to software development than construction, isn't really the first iteration after all because work occurs before Iteration 0 can begin. To keep the number scheme consistent let's call this "Iteration -1" ("Sprint -1" for the Scrummers among us).
Iteration -1 is something that Mike Vizdos, of Implementing Scrum (www.implementingscrum.com) fame, and I called the "preInception phase" in the Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) (www.enterpriseunifiedprocess.com). The EUP expands upon the system development lifecycle (SDLC) to address the full IT lifecycle. Figure 1 shows the full lifecycle for agile within IT organizations, depicting the difference in methodology scope. SDLCs focus on developing a release of a system, whereas a system lifecycle addresses the full life of a system, from the initial concept all the way until it is finally retired and pulled completely from production. The IT lifecycle encompasses the activities required for all of the systems that support your organization, adding cross-system issues such as portfolio management, enterprise architecture, and reuse into the mix.

Police officer shot during pursuit in Homewood
Suspect identified as James Robert Hill
A Pittsburgh police officer was shot during a foot pursuit in the Homewood neighborhood early Thursday morning, and the suspect was also shot multiple times.
(SLIDESHOW: Photos from the shooting scene)
Acting Police Chief Regina McDonald said two officers were on patrol in the area of North Lang Avenue and Upland Street about 1:30 a.m. when they spotted a car speeding and began to follow it.
"The officers pursued the suspect's vehicle a short distance on Apple Street. The suspect's vehicle failed to negotiate a curve and crashed into a wall," McDonald said.
When the officers got out of their vehicle, the suspect did the same, but he refused to give up and started fighting with them, police said.
McDonald said one of the officers used a Taser on the suspect, James Robert Hill, but he managed to break free and opened fire while running away.
"The other cop came from this direction. He said, 'Don't move, don't move,' and they started shooting," witness Tony Harvin said, indicating where the police officer had been.
The officer, who was identified as Morgan Jenkins in a police memo, was shot several times, with most of the bullets striking his protective body armor, McDonald said. One of the shots hit him in the shoulder.
Police said doctors removed a bullet close to Jenkins' spine, which posed a risk of paralysis.
Another officer, Michelle Auge, broke two fingers during the confrontation.
Police said Hill, 24, of Homewood, was also shot multiple times. He and Jenkins were taken to UPMC Presbyterian in critical condition. Hill's condition was upgraded to serious on Thursday afternoon.
Hill's lawyer, Milton Raiford, said the facts of the incident will be sorted out in the coming days.
"Our position is this -- simply that we're praying very hard, not only for James' recovery but also for the officer's recovery," he said. "Gun violence in the inner city has gotten pretty much out of control."
Some police officers wonder how Hill was able to fire so many rounds after he was shot.
Sources revealed an email sent by Pittsburgh Police Department Deputy Chief Paul Donaldson that addressed concerns about police ammunition.
Members of the Fraternal Order of Police verified the complaints and said questions about the .40-caliber ammunition were raised in March after another officer was shot in Homewood.
"After getting into a gunfight with a subject, it's taking multiple rounds to stop the subject, and even after discharging multiple rounds in the center mass of the target, that they're still able to return fire at the officers," Pittsburgh police Officer Eric Engelhardt said.
Engelhardt said the bureau is doing research on the ammunition.
"We're not butting heads on this. This is something I think both sides realize there might not be a problem. There may very well be a problem. There's a lot of things that go into the way ammunition works," Engelhardt said.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard would not confirm or deny the internal investigation.
Court records showed Hill was convicted of charges including weapons offenses, assault, drugs and theft, stemming from three arrests in a six-month period of 2009. The most serious of those cases resulted in a three-to-six-year prison sentence that was imposed in 2010. In at least one of those cases, records show that he fought with or assaulted police.
Hill is wanted by Braddock police on an escape charge, according to online court records. The circumstances of that incident -- which happened on April 5 -- were unclear.

Where were you? 9Eleven remembered
Over the past 100 years, only a few events have been powerful enough to sear the national consciousness, to create a universal sense of tragedy and loss: Pearl Harbor, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and September 11. Whatever your age, your career, or your politics, it simply isn't possible to forget where you were the day terrorism struck home. Here, locals look back on America's second "day of infamy."
Will Nugent
American Airlines pilot
I've flown Flight 77, the one that crashed into the Pentagon, and I'd flown with its captain, Charles "Chic" Burlingame, a couple of times. He was a real outgoing, funny guy. People would joke that he was a neat freak. He'd clean all those knobs, dials, and switches in the cockpit because the cabin service doesn't, and it does tend to get dirty.
I was on call in Charlottesville that day. The first I heard about it was when I got a call from a cousin in Texas who wanted to see if I was home. I spent the rest of the day watching TV and talking to my family in Louisiana. I'd estimate I got about 20 phone calls. That happens when you're a pilot and there's a crash.
Blake Caravati
Former mayor of Charlottesville
I was in my office listening to public radio. The broadcast said there was a big fire but didn't mention an airplane. I cut on the TV when the first tower went down, and I immediately cut it off. I couldn't take it.
My wife is from New York. Her sister works in the old Bonwit Teller building up the street, and her cousin works in a building around the World Trade Center, and was late that day. We worried about their safety but couldn't get through because the phones were jammed.
It was a very emotional time, and even if you're the mayor of a small Virginia town, you feel the need to stand up and express sorrow. I made five or six speeches in two days.
Sally Thomas
Chairman, Albemarle Board of Supervisors
I was at the dentist's office getting my teeth cleaned with the radio playing in the background. I heard it once without noticing, and then we heard it and the person cleaning my teeth stopped, and I sat there with my mouth open.
I went home and watched TV, which I never do during the day. I'm never certain where my daughter Laura is, and she called to let me know she wasn't in New York.
I was thinking about how something shattered that day, that little piece you'd learned as a child that planes don't fly into buildings. Something elemental was destroyed. It touched something you thought you knew, and suddenly you're wrong.
Maurice Jones
City spokesman
I was on vacation in L.A. with friends and family, and I heard about it a little after 7am. I could hear a message being left on the answering machine that someone had bombed the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon. I thought, oh come on.
We were watching TV, and my friend said, "Aren't there supposed to be two towers?" That's when I realized the enormity of this. Then we watched the other tower come down.
My family in Northern Virginia travels in and around the Pentagon a lot. It took a few hours to get through to them. I also called the city manager to see if there was anything I could do from the West Coast. It was tough not being here.
Dave Mayo
Respiratory therapist
I was in Easton, Maryland, at Hog Neck Golf Course. We'd played an early morning round and finished around 1 o'clock. We approached the clubhouse and this elderly golfer said to us, "Wow, what a mess." They were redoing some of the holes on the course, and we said, "There's some rough spots, but it's not that bad." He gave us a strange look and said, "You don't have any idea what's going on. Go watch TV in the clubhouse."
My first thought when I heard was, oh my God, what's the Beltway going to be like to get home? I zoomed around the Beltway at about 2:30. I've never seen it so empty.
Tim Longo
Charlottesville police chief
I was having a sergeant staff meeting that usually runs from 8:30 to 11. When the second plane hit the tower, that meeting disbanded. The city manager called to meet with him. The day was spent in planning and assessment mode although how can you plan for something like that?
My cousin works in the World Trade Center on one of the 90th floors. He'd taken the day off for a doctor's appointment, thank the Lord.
I have two babies and two older children, and I was trying to connect with them. We're not a financial center or defense center, but we do have historical monuments. You didn't know what to think that day.
Dave Rogers
Principal, Virginia L. Murray Elementary
Professor Bebop on WTJU
We were having an Albemarle County administrators meeting that morning, and all the principals were there. A teacher knocked on the door and said a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center.
I went through the same wave of emotion as everyone else: How could it be, this horrible accident, then realizing it's horrible, but it's not an accident.
All the elementary principals met. Our feeling was that it was more likely to scare the children than do any good, so we wouldn't announce it.
We were dealing with our own emotions. My mind was racing about where this is going to lead us, while having to deal with what's happening at the school. If you transmit a lot of alarm, the kids pick that up.
Tom Hanson
Director, Emergency Communications Center
I was sitting in the office in a meeting. My assistant interrupted and said you need to come to the conference room, a large plane hit the World Trade tower.
The second plane hit while we were watching. We were stunned and thought it was an accident up to that point.
We did a Level One activation to bring the public safety people together: the police chiefs, the fire chiefs, and the three executives Bob Tucker for the county, Leonard Sandridge for the university, and Gary O'Connell for the city.
A very close friend of mine is the 911 director in Arlington. They're the 911 center that handled the Pentagon, and they were so close that they could see it.
Joyce Colony
Piano teacher
I was here at the breakfast table with my daughter and son-in-law eating a huge breakfast. We got a call to cut on the TV, and we couldn't get back to the table.
I was horrified by the magnitude of the number of people lost. I used to live near the Pentagon and know people who worked there.
I was 13 when Pearl Harbor was attacked. We found out about 3pm on a gray miserable Sunday at my grandmother's house. My father said, "Let's go down to the [Roanoke] Times-World and wait for the extras."
Pearl Harbor changed everyone's life immediately and involved everyone. I don't think September 11 did that.
Patricia Kluge
Owner, Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard
I was in Charlottesville, and it was a gorgeous September day. I woke up thinking how lucky I was to be alive in such a wonderful place with our children situated, a great husband, and a career that I love.
Funny I was thinking that. Then my husband called and said a plane crashed into the tower. I called my son at Columbia [University] and watched TV and saw the second plane crash.
The scariest part was that our children were in New York. The chaos I remember vividly as a child when I was eight during the first revolution against the King of Iraq. That was exactly what I was witnessing on TV.
Most people didn't appreciate how long term those feelings of loss, fear, and confusion, and the constraints on travel are.
Jenny Mead
Research assistant
I was at the Marriott Hotel in Crystal City attending a Humane Association conference. I was on my way to check out a few museums and overheard at the reception desk that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I imagined some little crop duster or tiny sightseeing plane with a confused pilot, taking a wrong turn after the Empire State building.
I went back to my room and turned on CNN right after the second plane hit, and for the next hour, watched, all alone and horrified.
Outside my hotel room, I heard an extraordinarily loud crash, like a semi full of concrete blocks crashing into a guardrail. I still don't know if that was the plane hitting the Pentagon, but I suspect it was, because immediately afterwards, the Washington news reports about the crash began.
Judy Mueller
Charlottesville director of public works
I was in Philadelphia at the American Public Works Association national conference with 5,000 people. We had to huddle to decide what to do about the conference.
They shut off the bridges into and out of Philadelphia. The City of Philadelphia assigned a police officer to our group. There was a certain concern for security with almost every public works director in the country there and we were staying in a high-rise hotel next door.
It was interesting to see how communities all over the country got their public works directors home because most had flown in. Some sent police to pick them up. Some in the Midwest rented buses. Folks got real creative.
Greg Fairchild
Darden assistant professor
My mother called and said a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. I thought that was odd, but went back to preparing to teach a class at 11:45. Then another plane flew into a tower. At that point I began to get worried.
I'd done graduate work and taught at Columbia. All the business schools place people on Wall Street, and I have a friend at American Express [located in a building adjacent to the towers].
Also, Monday I'd had a guest speaker who stayed at my house. He'd left at 6am to drive to Dulles to take a plane to L.A. I feared I'd put him in harm's way.
I didn't lose anybody personally, but I took it personally. I'd lived in New York two times and met my wife there. The attack on places where I have good memories made me angrier.
Three weeks later I had business in New York. The pilot took us over the site. It was still smoldering. That blew me away.
A surreal Dali world
I was the first staff writer in the office that morning. I was reading email when my editor ran over and told me that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers.
He told me to write a quick news article on it for Forbes.com, Forbes magazine's website. I went to the south side of the office, on the 11th floor, and saw the tower, about a mile and a half away. It was a beautiful day, with perfect visibility. There was a hole in the side of the building that was the shape of a plane. Black smoke puffed out of the hole– it looked surreal, like a Dali painting.
The second plane hit the other tower a few minutes later. From where we were watching, that plane looked black, like a military aircraft. I kept on adding to the brief story I had originally published on the website that morning. I also added news from the news wires. A lot of the wire stories turned out to be false, like one that said that the State Department had been bombed and another saying that Congress had been blown up.
In New York, the sky filled with Air Force jets. My college girlfriend who I hadn't spoken with in years called me from Baltimore, crying. My hands trembled on the computer keyboard for a few moments after I hung up.
Everyone at work behaved differently. One guy got aggressively loud. Another shut himself in his office. My boss who has been to several war fronts– was calm and sharp and that kept the reporters focused.
That night after work I went to a nearby bar on Park Avenue South. The place had a few dozen people and everyone was smiling and ordering a lot of drinks. No one was talking about the World Trade Center.
I had to walk home that night because the subways were closed and the streets were only open to military trucks, ambulances and Hummers. Dust and helicopters whirred in the sky.
A staff reporter at Forbes.com, Davide Dukcevich used to write for the Daily Progress.
Rosalind Warfield-Brown, freelance writer and copy editor for The Hook
My youngest son drove across the country with me last summer when I returned to my teaching job at UC Santa Cruz. We had a week together enjoying the beaches and the mountains, and then it was time for me to take him to the San Francisco airport for his flight home– midnight on September 10. While we were waiting in the boarding area, he made a typical teenager's nervous joke about the plane crashing and our sushi dinner being his last meal. I asked what he would most regret if his plane did go down. "Not buying my motorcycle sooner," he replied, grinning. I hugged him and said I was glad he'd have many more years to enjoy riding his bike. He waved as he walked down the boarding ramp, and I turned and headed for the car.
A frantic call from home jolted me from sleep at seven the next morning. "What plane is Jay on?" his brothers demanded. "Planes are crashing all over the country. What airline is Jay flying on?"
It wasn't until about noon that we were able to locate him, put down in Indianapolis when all the planes were grounded. His dad drove out to bring him home, and I stopped shaking for the first time that day.
Jennifer Mnookin, UVA law professor
I was supposed to be teaching at 10 o'clock. I'd just found out that the first Tower had gone down, so I went in and dismissed class. None of us would have been able to focus. We all went out in the hall to watch one tiny television. Some students were hysterical, and there were all these rumors circulating about what was happening in Washington. My mother-in-law lives in Manhattan, and we couldn't reach her for a long time, but once we saw that the rest of New York was still standing, we felt a little better– there was no reason she would have been at the Towers.
Mark Messina, Charlottesville-based First Officer (co-pilot) for USAirways
I was flying into Charlotte, and we were first on the approach. We switched channels on the radio and heard controllers talking about an explosion at the Pentagon. At that point, they were saying it was a gas leak, and I thought, 'Yeah right.' We still didn't know anything that was going on until we walked into the pilot room in the airport. Then we watched the Towers get hit. Two months ago I flew from Dulles to National [the same route flight 77 took]. Repairs to the Pentagon weren't complete at that point, so it was pretty eerie. I work this September 11, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Vernie Francis, Piedmont Virginia Community College student and Barracks Road Service Station employee
I was at home. I got up and turned on the TV and watched it all day– till 11 o'clock that night. I don't remember checking to see if we had class that day. I just said, "There's no need."

I was working. I was just devastated when I saw it on TV. It was unbelievable. Nobody was in the house but me. I said, "Oh my God, this did not happen." I called several friends. I have a friend in New York; I called her, and everything was okay.
Darrin Short, Firefighter for the City of Charlottesville
I'd gotten home about 7:30am and gone to sleep. A neighbor called me to tell me, and a bunch of us came back in to the station and hung out. We were glued to the TV.
Peter Carpenter, Firefighter
The thought of those buildings collapsing was going through my mind before it happened because of the way the fire was going. Even now, thinking about it, chills come. When the buildings came down, I thought of what we consider brothers and sisters in the fire service. Knowing we'd lost so many was something we'd never experienced before.
Cliff Turner, distribution clerk at the Downtown Post Office, owner of Cliff Commercial Cleaning Service
I was on annual leave, and I was driving down McIntire Road. My wife called me and asked if I'd heard the news. I stopped by the post office to see what was going on. All of a sudden, the second plane hit. I went home and turned the TV on. It's just a sad day in the U.S. when something like that happens; we had never heard of something that tragic here in the U.S.
Rick Crickenberger, Captain in the Charlottesville Fire Department
I was working on a friend's house– I was off duty. My friend said come inside and see what's on TV. They had the news on. Both towers were on fire at the time. I watched the one collapse, and my friend didn't realize what was going on. I said, 'The tower is collapsing anyone in there is dead." Then we watched the other one. I got a very sick feeling. One of the other firefighters who knew where I was stopped by and said he was going back to work. We both went in to work. My concern and my attention was drawn to the fact that so many people had probably perished in those towers. I knew there had to be several firefighters that had perished. You feel part of you is there because you know you would have been there if you'd been working.

Yep, in less than 2 month we will officially have a 5 year old in our house. REALLY...WOW!!! It sounds ridiculous say, it sounds impossible to be saying, but its true!!!! This child is so full of life and spunk these days. Bless her heart, she thinks before she speaks 99.9% of the time. I pray she learns a lot earlier in life than her momma did that it's not necessarily a good thing to do! She is still the worlds shyest kid if she doesn't know you. She curls up around my leg, will not make eye contact, or talk at all and it drives me NUTS!!!! Maybe she will start to over come that this next year!
diamond hoops...can't say I blame her one bit for LOVING those!!! We love more than words can says Micah Claire and no matter how old you are you will ALWAYS be our baby girl!!!

Ever wonder if your leadership style should be less interactive, less personal with your team?
Do you believe that the "cold emotionless leader" approach will bring better results to the organization?
Teresa Amabile in an interview entitled How Team Leaders Show Support-or Not in The Harvard Business School Working Knowledge newsletter, outlines her study published in 2004 in The Leadership Quarterly, and gives insight into leadership characteristics and styles as they impact group performance and creativity in organizations.
She identified 4 key behaviors that will improve the perception of team leader's support by the team members (and by association improve group attitude and final results).
The groups perception of the leader's support were positive when:
- they received on-time feedback and prompt response to problems. On-time decision making
- they were supported in their decisions on a personal AND professional basis by the leader and a sense of relationship was developed through exchange of personal information. Create personal relationships.
- they were recognized individually and in public for their achievements. Praise and recognition.
- they were included and asked for ideas and input about decision making. Inclusion and participation of all team members.
Sound familiar?
They are fundamental characteristics of any leader or manager.
The groups perception of the leader's support were negative when the leader:
- Did not manage the work efficiently. Lack of timely decision-making, disinterest, disorganization.
- Unable to provide clear role definition and objectives. Lack of focus and objectives.
- Unable to solve problems or avoid them. Lack of strategy and planning.
Becoming a good leader is not all about barking orders or the implementation of revolutionary, new and improved ideas about data management and numbers analysis .
It's about listening, doing your job and making decisions that affect others on-time.
It's about dedicating time and applying common sense to create and maintain human relationships.

The Evolving Workforce
Did you know that 83% of global workers believe that technology advances have enabled them to be more productive and see this increasing in the future? Dell and Intel explored the link between productivity and technology along with other IT trends that we are seeing influencing today's workplace in the third phase of The Evolving Workforce project.
This final phase highlights insights from industry leaders on key workplace and workforce-related themes identified in the first two phases of the research, and according to these experts, strong relationships between HR departments and IT departments are growing more and more important in both attracting and retaining quality employees. As the report states, "technology provision has the potential to become more of a differentiating factor in choosing where to work."
However, better, more efficient technology also comes with new, morale-related concerns for HR. For example, younger generations are practically demanding that they be allowed to use their personal devices and smartphones for work-related activity. "I think that the 25 and under age group expects more flexibility with the devices they use to perform their work," said Jeff Young, Chief Technology Officer at FactSet Research Systems. "They find it surprising and awkward that we want to issue a BlackBerry when they have a perfectly good Smartphone that they picked and that their life is on."
But does this demand equate to a 24/7 workday? Employees who are "always on?" Are HR departments that recruit younger talent with technology perks also risking burning out their youngest generation of workers, before they're old enough "to know what burnt out means?" The Evolving Workforce research shows that more than four in ten people (43%) around the world do feel under pressure to work longer hours, and "business leaders see IT and HR functions playing a key role in helping employers manage and mitigate the risk of employees feeling overburdened via the increased connectivity offered by new technologies."
One way HR and IT departments are working together to counter the effects of a longer work day is to offer the flexibility associated with remote or at-home working. However, this can come with its own morale-related challenges. "Mobile workers suffer from isolation and distractions and the dependency on social media for connections is also going to reduce the human interaction," said Thomas Frey, Futurist and Executive Director at The Da Vinci Institute. "Therefore, the overall trend of workers working individually is not always the panacea that people think it is."
It's clear that change is the only constant in today's evolving workforce, and in challenging times like these, both HR and IT leaders will need to work together to "proactively manage the health and well-being of their employees in and outside the workplaceâ¦blurring of the lines between work and play - due to 24/7 connectivity - will need to be addressed."
Do these challenges sound familiar to you? Comment here and let us know your thoughts on The Evolving Workforce project and new relationships between HR and IT departments.

Oathbringer / Brandon Sanderson
Working on it! Pretty sure I'll have it read by the end of the year.
The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince / Robin Hobb
The only reason for me to not read it was the price. Super expensive for a novella. But I should be able to get a cheap Kindle version now. Will definitely still read it.
Soldier Son Trilogy / Robin Hobb
A trilogy by Hobb with no ties to her Farseer universe. Something totally different. I've heard good & bad things but everyone seems to agree on the fact that the main character is horribly whiny and annoying. I am not interested in this trilogy at all and will probably never read it. Even though it's Hobb and I shortly considered it in the past..
The Forge of Darkness / Steven Erikson
Ha! I can't even finish my Reread of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. I don't think I'll ever get to this one. It will remain unread^^
Stuff by GRRM that is not ASOIAF
There's only one book I care about.
A couple of Pratchetts
Mostly the newer ones. I stopped reading new Pratchetts after he passed away. I decided to do a Reread chronologically and will get there eventually. Won't be any new stories published 😦
Rift Runners Series / Jennifer Fallon
The only trilogy by Jennifer Fallon that I didn't finish. I read the first book to give it a chance, but I feared I wouldn't like it, because of the different dimensions & playing partly in our world. Not for me. I like her 'pure' Fantasy much, much more.
The Fifth Doll / Charlie N. Holmberg
I've read almost everything by Holmberg, but this book and her newest publication are still on my list. I'll get there, but it's not high priority (anymore), because I didn't like her Plastic Magician very much.

The mountain bike event season gets off to a great start on April 3rd with the Homage to Ice.
Get back on the trail and reconnect with your riding buddies at the first race of the year. Starting at Mansfield Outdoor Centre and heading out to the trails in the surrounding Dufferin County Forest, each 25 kilometre lap is 65% single track. There is just enough double track to pass safely on this fun rolling course, which ends with a two kilometre descent to the finish.
Don't miss this amazing chance to test your early season form and train for the first O-Cups and Canada's first ever 100-mile mountain bike race.
Choose between the 50 kilometre two-lap or 25 kilometre one-lap options on this great course. Hopefully we will get another great 23 degree Celsius day like last year. Come for the ride, stay for the barbeque!
Register at www.substanceprojects.com or www.ontariocycling.org
A portion of the event's proceeds will go to support the great work being done by IMBA Canada.

Harris Primary Academy Mayflower
Academy Description
Harris Primary Academy Mayflower opened in September 2014 in order to meet the significant need locally for new places. It started with a Reception cohort and will grow by a year group at a time.
It is a sister school to Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred and Harris Academy Chafford Hundred, along with the other Academies in the Harris Federation.
Academy Ethos
Whatever a child's background or starting point, we want to make sure that they finish Year 6 with the academic skills, social skills and knowledge necessary to succeed. Every lesson at our school will be creative and there will be plenty of time for children to think, to play, to discover and wonder.
Each child will be taught in the way that suits them best and we will step in quickly if a change is needed. For some children, this might involve one-to-one support if they are finding something difficult and for others it could mean stretching them more to keep them interested.
Our school will be relaxed and comfortable but pupils will know that good behaviour is expected of them. They will be frequently praised and rewarded for trying their best and for being kind, hard-working and well-behaved.
We want the school to feel friendly and welcoming and will always make sure that every pupil has at least one friend. Our children will be taught to respect each other and their teachers.
There will be a zero tolerance approach to any type of bullying.

Rachel Bilson Pictures at The To Do List LA Premiere
Rachel Bilson Checks Stealing the Show Off Her To Do List With Her Funny Friends
Rachel Bilson Checks Stealing the Show Off Her To Do List With Her Funny Friends
Rachel Bilson donned a head-turning Oscar de la Renta dress and dramatic winged liner for last night's premiere of The To Do List in LA. She walked the carpet hand in hand with her co-star, Calvin Klein-clad Aubrey Plaza, and they were joined by the film's funny men Bill Hader and Andy Samberg, as well as their director Maggie Carey, on the red carpet. All eyes seemed to be on Rachel for her glamorous getup that was not accompanied by the fake neck tattoo that she was sporting at LAX last week. Rachel and crew stepped out to debut their comedy on the West Coast ahead of its US release on Friday. We got to sit down and chat with Aubrey and Maggie about the memorable sex scenes captured on film for the movie, which follows the story of an inexperienced upcoming college freshman's sexual to-do list before hitting campus.

The new Darksiders II map isn't the only thing that's going to be grand when THQ/Vigil Games' next hack and slash title releases next month (the map is said to be double the size of its predecessor). It's also a shared quality with the fiendish enemies you face off against. It's a wonder that the protagonist, Death, can hold his own with his comparatively tiny scythe.
There are a ton of quick cuts in this newest trailer, but I spotted a lot of visuals and enemies from the E3 demo I experienced last month.

OG&E crews return from helping Hurricane Sandy victims
Workers expected to return Tuesday
About 60 Oklahoma Gas and Electric employees were expected to return home Tuesday after spending two weeks helping restore power to Northeastern residents affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The employees were expected to complete their 1,550-mile return trip on Tuesday evening.
OG&E crews headed to Maryland on Oct. 29 to assist Baltimore Gas and Electric near Baltimore. After several days of restoration work there, they were moved to help Public Service Electric and Gas in the Paramus, N.J., area.
OG&E workers spent six days restoring electricity to customers in New Jersey who had been without power for a week or more.
Glen Rock, N.J., Mayor John van Keuren said he was glad to see OG&E utility trucks come in after the storm.
"It confused me at first, especially when I learned OG&E stood for Oklahoma Gas & Electric," van Keuren said. "The OG&E crews were incredible. The guys were so friendly and easy to talk to. They were happy to talk about what they were doing, and they got things done right the first time so they didn't have to come back for rework."

Robert Moses State Park to reopen Thursday
Robert Moses State Park, the last of the Long Island state parks that had been closed because of damage from superstorm Sandy, will reopen Thursday.
The park was closed because the traffic circle that is the main access to the facility was undermined by high surf. There was also severe beach erosion and damage to the boardwalk at the east end of the park.
State parks commissioner Rose Harvey, who praised efforts to overcome what she called "this tremendous obstacle," will cut a ribbon at the reconstructed traffic circle to reopen the park at 11 a.m.
Contractors placed more than 500,000 cubic yards of sand dredged from Fire Island Inlet and the state boat channel north of Robert Moses to replenish eroded beaches at Fields 4 and 5.
The parks agency removed 820 feet of boardwalk at Field 5 heavily damaged by Sandy. The rest of the boardwalk was repaired, and the agency will determine whether it can replace the other 820 feet in a way that prevents future damage.
Three lifeguard shacks also are being replaced.
