Police Supt. David Brown Blames Prosecutors, Judicial System In Part For Gun Violence, State's Attorney Kim Foxx Fires Back
By Jermont Terry July 6, 2021 at 10:55 pm
Filed Under:Chicago Police, Chicago Violence, Chief Judge, Cook County State's Attorney, Gun Violence, Jermont Terry, July 4th Weekend, Kim Foxx, Supt. David Brown, Timothy Evans, Weekend Violence
CHICAGO (CBS) — Following a July 4th holiday weekend in which at least 100 people were shot and 18 of them were killed, police Supt. David Brown and Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx have gotten into a very public fight.
As CBS 2's Jermont Terry reported Tuesday night, each side is blaming the other for the conditions that led to the violence – and it is not the first time.
It is clear that the violent acts have caught the eye of both the superintendent and the county's top prosecutor. But they have disagreed on why we have seen a surge in violent crime before, and now, they are back in the ring throwing jabs.
Whether it is the large crowds that took over downtown streets on the night of July 4th Sunday, or the rash of shootings this past weekend, the violence in Chicago is undeniably in everyone's face.
Brown insists his officers are not to blame.
"What's happening in the courts is creating this unsafe environment for all of us," he said.
Brown did not mince words Tuesday. He linked the surge in violent crimes to a relaxed court system releasing criminals on electronic monitoring or parole.
"I hear a lot about what the State's Attorney is doing. She charged these people with murder we brought before them that we've arrested – and the courts, the courts released them back into the community, creating an unsafe environment for all of us," Brown said.
Foxx fired back in a tweet. It read: "Finger-pointing instead of talking honestly about the violence plaguing our city doesn't help bring solutions that make our communities safer. It starts with apprehending those who pull the trigger; police must make an arrest before a case reaches the courthouse door."
Finger-pointing instead of talking honestly about the violence plaguing our city doesn't help bring solutions that make our communities safer. It starts with apprehending those who pull the trigger; police must make an arrest before a case reaches the courthouse door.
— State's Attorney Kim Foxx (@SAKimFoxx) July 6, 2021
This is not the first time Brown and Foxx have gotten into a PR tussle about crime. At a news conference following a looting spree from downtown to Lincoln Park early on the morning of Monday, Aug. 10 of last year, Brown and Mayor Lori Lightfoot both claimed criminals were emboldened because they were not being prosecuted – though they did not name Foxx personally.
On that occasion, Brown said the looters acted as if there were no consequences for their behavior, and Lightfoot called on prosecutors to deliver a strong message to the criminals that there will be consequences.
But when asked at the Aug. 10 news conference if the criticism was directed at Foxx, the mayor's response was "don't bait us."
Now, Brown and Foxx are back at it.
"Finger-pointing is your words," Brown said. "I'm bringing a debate about, do we continue to release violent people in our courts?"
Cook County Circuit Court Chief Judge Timothy Evans also took issue with Brown's remarks, saying, "Speculation based on isolated cases is not the same as a reality based on a complete picture, and research has shown that bail reform has not led to an increase in crime."
On the claim about bail reform, Brown does not buy it.

Fall is here, and winter is right around the corner, which means that you should take some time to complete all of your regular fall maintenance tasks. Thankfully, Clean Sweep Maryland is here to help!
Fall is a great time to check your slate roofing for any issues since it's months before the weight of snow will be pressing down upon it. Broken or missing shingles can lead to major problems and structural damage over the course of the winter. Your slate roof should also be checked for gaps in the flashing around your skylights, chimney and roof vents. A professional inspection can identify problems before the freeze-thaw cycle makes them even worse.
When was the last time your dryer vents and air ducts were cleaned? Lint and debris accumulated in the ducts can ignite and cause a devastating house fire. Even if you completely empty the lint tray in the dryer, lint will accumulate in the surrounding ducts. Duct cleaning can also clean the HVAC ducts that pump heat into your home throughout the winter. A professional cleaning will remove dust, debris, lint and household allergens that could cause discomfort all winter long.
If you haven't had your chimney inspection completed yet, you need to before you fire up your fireplace for the first time. From removing dangerous creosote to identifying potential structural issues, our chimney sweeps can take care of getting your chimney up to snuff before you enjoy a winter filled with cozy fires.
When it comes to keeping your home and family safe, you should never settle for less. Call Clean Sweep Maryland today at 410-558-1111 for professional chimney sweep, dryer vent cleaning and gutter cleaning services designed to keep your home in wonderful condition and your family safe.

Hacking group LulzSec, which surprisingly has become a part of the daily news cycle, has denied any involvement in a reported hack on the UK 2011 Census. "That wasn't us — don't believe fake LulzSec releases unless we put out a tweet first," the group wrote in its Twitter account.
Last night, an upload to the anonymous document posting site Pastebin claimed that LulzSec had acquired the UK Census records and was "keeping them under lock and key." LulzSec pointed out that anyone could copy and paste the text design of the group's official releases. The group wrote in a followup tweet: "But hey, if someone out there hacked the UK government in the name of #AntiSec [anti-security], well done sirs!"
With corporate and government hacks on the rise, we can expect to see even more false claims in the future.
Meanwhile, Ryan Cleary, a 19-year-old UK man, has been arrested for his suspected involvement with LulzSec. "The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act, and Fraud Act offences and was taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains in custody for questioning," the Metropolitan Police wrote in a news bulletin last night. The authorities went on to say that searches at Cleary's Wickford, Essex home have revealed "a significant amount of material."
Channel 4 news reported that Cleary was the "mastermind" behind LulzSec, but the group quickly put a stop to that misconception on Twitter: "Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now… wait… we're all still here! Which poor bastard did they take down?" An admitted member of LulzSec also claimed that Cleary had little to do with the group, aside from running its IRC channel.

Popular during the early years of the Revolution, this song's lively tune and repetitive chorus expressed revolutionaries' hopefulness about the future. Singers manipulated its malleable lyrics to address a broad range of topical issues.
Hang the aristocrats from on high!
The aristocrats, we'll hang 'em all.
To the Devil will they fly.

Elmer l'éléphant est un court métrage d'animation américain de la série des Silly Symphonies produit par Walt Disney, pour United Artists, sorti le .

Synopsis

Le jeune éléphant Elmer traverse la jungle pour rejoindre la fête d'anniversaire de Tillie la tigresse. Après lui avoir offert des fleurs, il obtient un baiser de la part de Tillie. Tandis qu'elle part dans sa cabane perchée en haut d'un arbre, les autres convives menés par un tigre se moquent cruellement de l'éléphant à propos de sa trompe et de ses oreilles. Repoussé de la fête, Elmer rencontre un vieux mâle girafe qui lui fait remarquer que lui aussi est l'objet de moqueries comme les pélicans...

C'est alors qu'un feu se déclare dans la cabane de Tillie. La brigade des singes pompiers se précipite tandis que les invités déroulent une toile pour réceptionner Tillie, mais des flammes la devancent, brûlant la toile. Les pompiers déroulent leur grande échelle faite de bambou mais les flammes y mettent le feu.

Elmer arrive alors juché sur la girafe et se sert des pélicans comme canadairs. Il réussit à éteindre les flammes en propulsant de l'eau avec sa trompe. Tillie sauvée, Elmer gagne un nouveau baiser.

Commentaires

Le personnage d'Elmer

Elmer est le premier personnage de Disney après ceux de la série Mickey Mouse et Nif-Nif, Naf-Naf et Nouf-Nouf (les Trois Petits Cochons) à avoir été utilisé sur des produits de consommation.

Le personnage d'Elmer a aussi vécu des aventures supplémentaires du 6 au 27 novembre 1938 dans Timid Elmer, scénario de Merrill De Maris, dessin d'Al Taliaferro.

Elmer est considéré comme précurseur de Dumbo (1941). Comme ce dernier, il est rejeté à cause de sa différence physique (la trompe chez Elmer, les oreilles chez Dumbo).

Vince Vaughn confirmed for True Detective season 2
Posted by Ryan | Sep 23, 2014 | News, TV | 0 |
Vince Vaughn is now confirmed as the second lead in "True Detective Season 2."
It was recently confirmed that Colin Farrell would be one of the leads in "True Detective Season 2" and now the other rumor of Vince Vaughn has been confirmed. Vince Vaughn will be playing one of the three roles for male leads and there is still speculation as to who will play the third part.
Farrell will play one of the three cops, Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him. Vaughn is the career criminal, Frank Semyon, who in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner. One of the other two police officers, Paul Woodrugh, is expected to be played by Taylor Kitsch, while the third is the female lead, Ani Bezzerides.
There has been a third rumor of regarding casting for "True Detective Season 2." Since the rumor of Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn was announced, there was another rumor circulating about Taylor Kitsch. With both Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell now confirmed, I'd say the rumor of Taylor Kitsch is very probable.
All three of these actors have had their own struggles in Hollywood. Colin Farrell has spent the past few years earning his respect once again after some poor film choices and seems to be the most reputable of the three actors. Vince Vaughn has been doing comedies for so long that he is considered to be a typecast actor and has a signature persona which we see in almost every one of his films. Taylor Kitsch's problem has been with his box office numbers. Even though some of his films may have gained critical acclaim and he isn't considered a terrible actor, he just hasn't been considered profitable.
Matthew McConaughey Oscar Win
The great thing about the "True Detective" series is the potential it carries for the actors involved. Matthew McConaughey was known as one of the biggest typecast actors in Hollywood, some even considered him a joke. Following the film "Mud" and "Dallas Buyer's Club" came "True Detective." While the overall path was what landed him an Oscar for "Dallas Buyer's Club," many would consider his true triumph to be "True Detective" which also scored him an Emmy nomination.
Out of the actors involved in "True Detective Season 2," we may see some careers pushed back in the right direction or finally get started. Hopefully this season will be as captivating and as intense as this past season.
Who do you think will get a career boost from this upcoming season of "True Detective?"

This mould thing is getting out of control. Get a cleaning crew to CLEAN, simple. It does mean a bit of work! Soon the word "mould" will be synonymous with "union" (no pun intended).
MOE needs to take these type of things more seriously. Mould leads to serious medical problems because they are much harder to get rid of than bacteria out of the body.
Are the teachers playing games? Teachers in the private schools are paid less and get less benefits. Their students also get better results. However, you don't hear anything publically from them. Meanwhile the BUT them always disgruntled about something!
Private schools are not unionized ........... so do you expect them to make any noise???? ........... Many are happy with the rebated fees for their children.
EastenGate, but the kids at private schools generally come from more stable and affluent homes, with greater parental supervision and interest in the work of their kids. So one can argue that the private school teachers have an easier (note: not "easy") function. I think if you put the private school teachers in the public school environment, they would immediately complain to their union representative.
Not only complain ......... most are not even trained teachers ....... they teach using workbooks and they focus on children passing BJC and BGCSE and other US exams ......... Most of them won't last a week in public schools.
Just think now.. ."the private schools get better results". . .how do you know that? Do think that the fact that "they test for the best and brightest to enter their schools" . . . in contrast the government schools "gets whatever is left. . .the disable, dumb, uneducated, at-risk etc" to teach. . .but still get more per capita "good grades" than the PHS. You also forget that government does also get the bright ones who can't pay to go to PHS. . .
Ok, so they wont return to the classroom, then hit them where it hurts......in the pockets. Time to cut their salaries. Let's see how quickly they return then. They are being unreasonable at this point.

Earth Day promotes sustainable lifestyles
Kerri Klatt
Kerri Klatt | The Collegian | Carol Thaler of Great Lakes Biomimicry, spoke during the Earth Day celebration in the Culinary Building on April 21.
Lorain County Community College students and staff celebrated Earth Day on April 21. The celebration was to bring awareness to environmental issues and to promote ways to become proactive in preserving the Earth, and discovering new ways to live a sustainable lifestyle. The aim of the celebration was to educate, promote, and inspire creative thinking on how to preserve the environment for future generations.
The celebration included hands-on learning experiences, exhibits, and presentations from various community programs as well as LCCC programs.
"This kind of awareness is really important for us, for students, and for the forthcoming generation," said Ramona Anand, faculty advisor for the Society of Women Engineers and project manager for the weld-ed department at LCCC. "How are we preserving the Earth? What are we giving to the forthcoming generations? And how are we maintaining the planet we are living in?" asked Anand. These questions were answered throughout the Earth Day presentations.
"Most people think of recycling and organic foods, but engaging in a more sustainable lifestyle can be much more than that," said LCCC student, Megan Brown, who is majoring in art.
Carol Thaler, director of administration and outreach for Great Lakes Biomimicry, an organization that looks to solve human problems by imitating nature, was one of the speakers.
"We need to shift from learning about nature to learning from nature," said Thaler. A hedgehog, for example, can curl into a ball and fall 40 ft. without injury, and Thaler said this animal can aid in finding solutions for sports concussions and in the use of helmets.
"There are many things that people can do to assist in bettering the environment," said LCCC student Jamie Brod, a speech therapy major.
"We are all working collectively for a common motive. That motive is to increase the school for alternative energy and get into the renewable resources to preserve the planet Earth," said Anand.

Mainstay Medical Announces U.S. FDA Approval of ReActiv8® Neurostimulation System for Chronic Low Back Pain
Mainstay Medical Holdings plc today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Company's Premarket Approval (PMA) application for ReActiv8®, its implantable neurostimulation system to treat intractable chronic low back pain.
Mainstay Medical CEO, Jason Hannon, CEO said: "I am so proud of our team and the dedicated physicians who managed our clinical trials and cared for their patients. We are thrilled to receive FDA approval of ReActiv8, which is designed to be a restorative treatment and represents a new option for patients suffering with chronic low back pain."
He added, "This disease affects millions of people around the world, and our clinical data demonstrates that ReActiv8 therapy provides progressive improvements in pain and disability over time, both in the magnitude of effect and the proportion of patients who benefit from the treatment. This therapy has the potential to improve the quality of life for the most severely affected patients, and we look forward to making it available to U.S. patients and physicians beginning in the first half of 2021. This will build upon our growing business in Europe and our upcoming launch in Australia."
"This milestone is the culmination of a development process over many years," continued Mr. Hannon. "I would like to thank every member of our team, past and present, and in particular our clinical investigators, their teams, and clinical study patients for their support and contributions."
Dr. Chris Gilligan, Chief, Division of Pain Medicine, Department of Anaesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Assistant Professor of Anaesthesia, Harvard Medical and Principal Investigator of the pivotal ReActiv8-B study, said: "ReActiv8 fills an important unmet clinical need of patients suffering from chronic low back pain. Patients indicated for ReActiv8 therapy have generally tried numerous other treatments, including physical therapy and pain medications, and many are on long-term opioids to manage their pain."
Regarding durable improvements, Gilligan advises, "I have seen ReActiv8 provide durable improvements in back pain, the disabling effects of back pain, and quality of life. I am proud to have served as Principal Investigator of this landmark trial, and I look forward to sharing this experience with my physician colleagues who want to start using ReActiv8 in their patients."
Dr. Robert Levy, a prominent neurosurgeon, and pioneer in the field of neuromodulation commented: "ReActiv8 represents a new treatment category for this severely-affected patient population. The use of neuromodulation to target underlying functional and motor-control issues in patients with musculoskeletal back pain can address a large unmet clinical need. ReActiv8 is designed as a restorative therapy for those suffering from musculoskeletal pain and does not compete with other forms of neuromodulation such as spinal cord stimulation."
"Levy concluded, "These patients are difficult for clinicians to treat with current therapy options, which is why so many of them take opioids to manage their pain. Having been part of the neuromodulation field for so long, I am really impressed by this particular innovation and I look forward to its adoption in clinical practice."
The FDA approval grants Mainstay the right to market ReActiv8 in the United States as an aid in the management of intractable chronic low back pain associated with multifidus muscle dysfunction, as evidenced by imaging or physiological testing in adults who have failed therapy, including pain medications and physical therapy, and are not candidates for spine surgery.
The FDA approval of ReActiv8 is primarily based on results from the ReActiv8-B clinical study, a pivotal 204-patient, international, multi-center, prospective, randomized, active sham-controlled, blinded trial with one-way cross-over, conducted under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from FDA.
Based on the FDA approval, Mainstay is refining its commercial launch plans for ReActiv8 in the U.S., including the build out of the commercial team, inventory procurement and related matters, as well as evaluating the financial resources necessary to fund its planned activities. Mainstay intends to host an investor event later this year to provide an update on its commercial plans for ReActiv8.

Q: SOAP API - deleting recipient Looks like we can delete recipient in the REST API but is there a method in the SOAP API that will allow deleting recipients?
Currently we are calling CreateEnvelopeFromTemplatesAndForms() from the SOAP API to create the draft envelope. The template may have multiple recipients and some of them may be optional. Before we can send the envelope by setting ActivateEnvelope to true or calling SendEnvelope(), seems like all the recipients' info (i.e. name, email, etc) must be filled in, otherwise the call will throw an error "...email address is invalid...". So we would like to delete the optional recipients when they are not needed.
Can we somehow define an InlineTemplate for the CreateEnvelopeFromTemplatesAndForms() call to delete recipients?
We also looked at CorrectAndResendEnvelope(), seems like we can edit recipient info but not delete.
Thanks in advance!

A: No, there is no SOAP equivalent for deleting recipients.  This is one of the reasons why DocuSign's REST API is encouraged over the SOAP API, and this feature gap is growing with every monthly release.
Three workarounds I can think of:

*

*Use a recipient type like Editor or Agent to edit the recipient info after envelope has been sent.

*Instead of deleting optional recipients, only add them later in the process if needed.

*Use REST to delete your optional recipients.

For #1, there are recipient types like Editor, Agent, or Manage Recipients which allow you to edit the recipient info of recipients that are later in the routingOrder.
For #2, instead of adding your recipients at the beginning, only add the required recipients then at a later time if it's decided that optional ones are needed, add them through a Recipient Correction/Addition.
For #3, the nice thing is that you can intermix the APIs, and make some calls in SOAP and others in REST.  The only thing you'd have to do is write code to send a REST request and parse the response.

Q: Why setting current identity value is not working for me in SQL Server 2008 R2? I am working with SQL Server 2008 R2.
I have a table seq_audit which has an identity column. This is the definition of the table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[seq_audit]
(
    [id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [value] [bit] NULL,

    PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([id] ASC)
          WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF,
                IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON,
                ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

The table is empty and never has had any rows in it before.
To check its current identity value, I ran this command:
DBCC CHECKIDENT (seq_audit, NORESEED)
GO

And this is the result I get:

Checking identity information: current identity value 'NULL', current
  column value 'NULL'. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error
  messages, contact your system administrator.

I want to set its current identity value to 15953711. So I ran this command:
DBCC CHECKIDENT (seq_audit, RESEED, 15953711)
GO

And this is the result I get:

Checking identity information: current identity value 'NULL', current
  column value '15953711'. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed
  error messages, contact your system administrator.

I thought it worked so I again check its current identity by running this command:
DBCC CHECKIDENT (seq_audit, NORESEED)
GO

But I was not expected the result I get:

Checking identity information: current identity value 'NULL', current
  column value 'NULL'. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error
  messages, contact your system administrator.

So somehow the setting of current identity value is not working. Why? What am I doing wrong here?

A: This is caused by the fact that your table is empty. Try adding a single record and then everything will work. I have tried this and can confirm that it works.
Also, if you use SQL Server Management studio you can use the design feature to change the seed values. and manually add and delete records.

A: https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/ms176057(v=sql.120).aspx
DBCC CHECKIDENT ( table_name, RESEED, new_reseed_value )

Current identity value is set to the new_reseed_value. If no rows have been inserted into the table since the table was created, or if all rows have been removed by using the TRUNCATE TABLE statement, the first row inserted after you run DBCC CHECKIDENT uses new_reseed_value as the identity. Otherwise, the next row inserted uses new_reseed_value + the current increment value.

Also why you dont start the seed on the create table IDENTITY?
Sql Fiddle Demo
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[seq_audit](
    [id] [bigint] IDENTITY(15953711,1) NOT NULL,
    [value] [bit] NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
    [id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY];

A: The first value you will insert, will have identity value as 15953711.
You may start inserting.
