PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Gov. Gina Raimondo on Monday formally filed a court petition seeking release of documents presented before a grand jury during the criminal investigation into the failed 38 Studios deal.
Raimondo had pledged to seek the material’s release after the conclusion of the state’s civil lawsuit over 38 Studios, which ended Friday when a judge approved a settlement with the last remaining defendant. The company, founded by Curt Schilling, collapsed in 2012 after receiving a taxpayer-backed loan of $75 million.
The three-page petition notes the “extraordinary public interest” in the 38 Studios deal, and asks R.I. Superior Court Presiding Justice Alice Gibney to order the release of “all grand jury records, wherever located,” from the case. It also notes that 146 people were interviewed in connection with the investigation.
“Since the 38 Studios deal was first made public, there has been profound and sustained public interest in its underlying circumstances and consequences,” the petition states.
The petition reiterates that the state police are reviewing all the non-grand-jury investigative documents generated during the criminal probe and will release those that can be disclosed under the state’s Access to Public Records Act.
The four-year criminal probe into 38 Studios, which included 18 months before a grand jury, appeared to come to an end last summer, when Attorney General Peter Kilmartin and then-R.I. State Police Col. Steven O’Donnell announced that there was no basis to file charges.
Kilmartin quickly came under pressure to release documents generated during the case due to the high public interest in the failed deal, but he has resisted those entreaties, citing the importance of maintaining grand-jury secrecy.
Earlier this month Kilmartin lashed out at O’Donnell’s successor, Ann Assumpico, for refusing to reactivate the case; she said he had provided insufficient evidence to devote more resources to it. He designated the investigation as closed in the wake of her decision.
During an appearance Friday on WPRI 12’s Newsmakers, Kilmartin indicated he expects his office will go to court in an attempt to block Raimondo’s petition and keep the 38 Studios criminal documents under wrap.
On Monday, Kilmartin spokesman Amy Kempe reiterated, “The attorney general remains opposed to the release of grand jury materials. We will review the petition and respond as appropriate to the court.”
The governor isn’t the only official making a move to get the documents in question released. The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a bill sponsored by Rep. Charlene Lima, D-Cranston, that would make public “any investigative records generated or obtained” during the 38 Studios probe, with some exceptions.


If you’re like many people whose back or front yard landscaping gets little sunlight, then you may be wondering what plants you should be using in your landscape design. Watch this video for tips on finding shade-loving plants for your garden design in Westchester County.
No matter what type of shade you have, you should start by looking for plants that are easy to care for. For example, bleeding heart and hostas are excellent species for a shade garden. If you’re struggling to find the right combination of plants, then look into your options for pre-planned gardens for shade, which can help ensure a successful landscape design. By choosing the right plants, you can look forward to a beautiful tapestry of color, even in a shaded area.


Cultural and national education through formal schooling has been encouraged since the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. Consequently, Cantonese opera has been incorporated into different school subjects such as Chinese Language, General Studies, and Music. Extra-curricular classes in Cantonese opera have been conducted both inside and outside of schools. However, the transmission of Cantonese opera has been considered at risk since master artists have faded out from the stage, with the new generation struggling to continue the craft. Furthermore, few young individuals have been observed demonstrating support and appreciation for the genre by attending performances. Recognized as an “intangible cultural heritage” initiated by the Hong Kong government, Cantonese opera has implanted its cultural and artistic position since the early twentieth century. This chapter addresses four issues related to the transmission and transformation of Cantonese opera in Hong Kong: (1) nature of and attributions to the difficulties in transmission; (2) process of nurturing future audience through school education; (3) transmission from the master artists to the young performers; and (4) linkage among school education, professional training, and the cultural contexts of Hong Kong.

Targeted Control of the Pin Opening Speed:
Surface blemishes in the form of differences in gloss level are typical defects on flat, sequentially filled parts.
With Synflow technology, parts quality can be ensured easily and in a reproducible manner.
There are many causes for surface defects on injection-molded flat parts. In addition to the influence of the tool – particularly the cavity surface or the temperature control, it is often the selected injection molding parameters that can lead to surface defects. The severity of such defects depends considerably on the properties of the plastic, i.e., due to additives or basic polymer or their mixing ratio in the case of blends.
Hesitation lines are visible defect lines that can often appear as gloss changes or blush on the part surface. These hesitation lines that appear in the form of a gloss level difference on the part surface crosswise to the flow direction are caused by local pressure fluctuations during sequential filling through valve gate nozzles.

These are 4 of the Best Herbs For Erectile Dysfunction. Be sure to watch the video till the end to Learn which tips is the most powerful for getting rid of your erectile dysfunction forever!
🔥 Premium Horny Goat Weed: (Affiliate Link) ➤➤➤ http://amzn.to/2jHp8Ns
Hey everyone I wanted to share with you some of the best herbs for getting rid of your erectile dysfunction. One of these herbs is guaranteed to rev up your sex drive, support performance, and boost your energy and focus throughout the day. So make sure you watch whole video to find out which one will save your sex life and get rid of your erectile dysfunction forever!
Erectile dysfunction — the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex — is a common problem. You've likely seen advertisements for erectile dysfunction herbs or supplements to "increase your sexual performance." Could they work for you?
Erectile dysfunction supplements and other natural remedies have long been used in Chinese, African and other cultures. But unlike prescription medications for erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), tadalafil (Cialis) and avanafil (Stendra), erectile dysfunction herbs and supplements haven't been well-studied or tested. Some can cause side effects or interact with other medications. And the amount of the active ingredient can vary greatly from product to product.
Men can judge themselves pretty harshly when it comes to their performance in between the sheets. The unsettling fear of not being able to rise to the occasion becomes a recurring nightmare for men that is often equated with failure, loss of dignity, and masculinity. If you suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), don’t be so hard on yourself, since impotence can almost always be improved with herb treatment, without having to rely on Viagra or other medications. Whether you suffer from ED, or hope to prevent the condition, here are six tips to overcome impotence without the side effects of the little blue pill.
If getting older is taking a toll on your manhood, you are not alone. About 30 million males in the U.S. frequently have problems developing or maintaining an erection, a condition commonly known as erectile dysfunction (ED). There are numerous pharmaceuticals to temporarily treat this issue (side effects included), or you could try using one of many Eastern herbs that treat ED.
Any man can develop erectile dysfunction, and it becomes common as men begin to move through their 40’s and beyond, with as many as 50 percent admitting they have the problem. The good news is erectile dysfunction can be effectively treated naturally, without drugs such as Viagra or Cialis which have devitalizing side effects at typical dosages.

Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, is a condition of a male’s penis that prevents it from getting an erection from sexual intercourse. However, many male patients get this condition from many pre existing health problems. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or the NCCAM, released that ED affects nearly 30 million males in the United States alone. In most patients, certain drugs can single handedly treat the condition. Below, is a list of different antibiotics used to treat ED and what side effects you may get, as well as what other treatments your doctor might prescribe you.

Irish Musician and teacher. Uilleann Piper - Brian McNamara is the eldest member of the renowned musical McNamara family of Carrickavoher, Aughavas, Co. Leitrim.
In 1979 at the age of 12 years old he was first introduced to the Uilleann Pipes by family friend Peter Maguire, a native of Mullahoran, Co. Cavan. Before receiving his first piping lesson from Peter, Brian had previously learned to play the Tin whistle under the guidance of his father, well known flute player Michael McNamara. His first set of pipes was also made by Peter.
Throughout his musical life Brian has always expressed his great indebtedness to Peter for everything he has selflessly given as pipe-maker and teacher. Pipe tuition from Peter together with the strong musical influence of his family meant that Brian rapidly became an accomplished piper. He remembers fondly his experiences attending workshops in Miltown Malbay during the early 1980s and the influential tuition of a number of fine tutors. In addition to the influence of the music of older pipers, he was always a big admirer of contemporary pipers including Liam O’Flynn as he mastered his instrument and developed his own style.
During the 1980s Brian competed at Fleadhanna Cheoil and other musical events winning many All-Ireland titles at Junior and Senior level. He became a regular member of concert tour groups and has travelled extensively as a musician. He has become a regular tutor at workshops and Summer schools nationally and internationally and a frequent performer on the national and international stage.
In 1998 he produced and performed on the award winning album ‘Leitrim’s Hidden Treasure’. This recording featured Brian and other members of the McNamara family in a recording which gave exposure to a unique repertoire of music associated with South Leitrim. Brian subsequently launched his debut solo recording ‘A Piper’s Dream’ in 2000 to widespread acclaim.

Don’t let the title of Luke Bryan’s fifth album fool you; He’s still young at heart. Kill The Lights opens musing on trucks, tractors and partying.

Timing is everything.

David Gilmour brings the drowsy funk.
If you’ve followed his career in and out of Pink Floyd, you know David Gilmour is generally a mellow dude. But sometimes he pulls out some surprise pop moves, like “Not Now John” or “Until We Sleep.” “Rattle That Lock” is prime Gilmour in that vein, replete with excellent slow hand guitar solos. –Diego Gonzalez

Sakura flowers are falling down slowly with the sound of shamisen – that's what you hear in the voice of the G Minor Pentatonic. This scale brings in the Asian vibes and provides a calm and positive mood. This scale is relative to the G Pygmy RAV Vast and yet it has its own very specific sound.
This is a pick-up-and-play scale. It's easy to play and easy to acquire by anyone, even those, who've never tried to play the tongue drum (or any other instrument) before. If you are looking for your very first RAV drum, the G Minor Pentatonic is the best steel tongue drum for you.
The G Minor Pentatonic has something similar to the music of koto and shamisen – two traditional Japanese musical instruments. This scale provides a velvety sound, perfect for accompanying meditation or tea ceremony. If you like the traditional Chinese or Japanese music, you'll be totally hooked by the unique sound of the G Minor Pentatonic.
Its shell made of special steel is thinner (1.5 mm) comparing to most of the other RAV Vasts (2 mm). The Ding is tuned in G of 2nd octave and the rest of the steel tongues are tuned in 3rd and 4th octave.
There was a good reason for this scale to be pentatonic. The pentatonic scales are popular in tuning handpans and tongue drums because they are very harmonious. All the notes of these scales are consonant and that's what makes the pentatonic scales easy to deal with. This scale has no halftones which makes playing it as easy as one-two-three. This is especially important if you've recently started learning to play the tongue drum. There's no note that throws off the entire scale, so there's no way you can play off the key.
There is a number of other scales you get in addition to G Minor including Bb maj, F, Dm, Eb, Cm. Therefore, it provides you with a big room to experiment with note progressions when playing the G Minor Pentatonic RAV drum.
The G Minor Pentatonic has a relative RAV Vast scale – the G Pygmy. The G Pygmy has pretty the same layout as the G Minor Pentatonic, except the flat 6th "pygmy" note. And this note makes G Pygmy sound darker, while the G Minor has a brighter and sunnier feel to it.
For whom this scale will work
The G Minor Pentatonic is a great scale to start on because it's very simple. You will get a harmonious melody with any note progression you choose.
A note for pros: if you are versed well in handpan and tongue drum scales and you like the pentatonic minor sound, the G Minor Pentatonic RAV Vast is the steel tongue drum you've been looking for online to be available for sale.
If you want to pair it with another RAV Vast, opt for the G Pygmy as these are two relative sales. The G minor Pentatonic can accompany pretty any musical instrument (including piano, guitar and didgeridoo) so it will be a great tool to join a jam session.
The G Minor Pentatonic was for born for improvisation. Improvising with the RAV Vasts is really easy, but it becomes a bliss with the G Minor Pentatonic as you can instantly get some superb melodies. The Japanese pentatonic scales are a great base for improvisation and can be used to play metal, blues and jazz-fusion. This tip is commonly used by many musicians including the guitar players.
It's also a great scale for meditation and sound-healing. Are you wishing to obtain the Buddha's calmness? It's challenging to slow down your mind and thoughts. This is where the RAV Vast can help. Start from simple intuitive improvisation every day and get deeper into meditation.

Police officers said they were ‘not impressed’ after pranksters left them in a sticky situation and covered a patrol car in cling film.
The incident took place yesterday evening (Tuesday, May 22) when an officer for the Haverhill police station was taking a statement from a victim of crime.
The policeman returned to his patrol car only to find that it had been wrapped in cling film by pranksters.
Police said this would have caused delays if that officer was called to any emergency incidents.
Fortunately, police were not delayed to any incident and were soon able to see the funny side.
They also praised a group of men who ran to tell the police officer about the cling film prank.
NOT IMPRESSED!! Officer taking a statement from a victim of crime only to find his police car has been wrapped in cling film! This would cause delays responding to #999s— Haverhill Police (@PoliceHaverhill) May 22, 2018
Well done to the lads who ran to tell us about it. #1988 #NRT5 @SuffolkPolice @BullshirePolice @UKCopHumour pic.twitter.com/Pq0ro5PfS3
Haverhill police took to social media to highlight the incident – sharing a video of the car wrapped in cling film.
They also tweeted: “NOT IMPRESSED!! Officer taking a statement from a victim of crime only to find his police car has been wrapped in cling film!
“This would cause delays responding to #999s Well done to the lads who ran to tell us about it. #1988 #NRT5 @SuffolkPolice @BullshirePolice @UKCopHumour.”
Police then saw the funny side to the situation – and later tweeted again.
The second tweet read: “Fortunately we were not delayed to any incident and PC 238 was able to see the comical side to it. #ClingFilmIsntCheap #ThatsAWrap #WeWontBeFoiled #CommunityEngagement #999family”.
By Wednesday morning (May 22), the post had 10 likes and 13 retweets.
People soon replied to the tweet to make puns.
One person wrote ‘wrapped up the case I hope?’ while another said it probably wasn’t an ‘open and shut case, just air tight’.
Yep very good!!! I was sat thinking of all the potentially good puns here #1988— Haverhill Police (@PoliceHaverhill) May 22, 2018
This is not the first time pranksters have struck in Haverhill.
Late last year, vandals covered a play park in Vaseline, leaving parents ‘fuming’ when they discovered the slippy, dangerous mess at the Shetland Road play park.
Last month, a vigilante graffiti artist highlighted how Haverhill had been blighted by potholes.
The culprit - whose identity remains a closely-guarded secret - has been painting massive, bright yellow penises around Haverhill's potholes, in what appears to be a cheeky call for action.
Since news of the vigilante artist spread, people have been clamouring on social media for their roads to get the same treatment.
Now a Facebook Page has been set up for the artist, called the 'Haverhill crater painter'.

"We want to know when our city leaders are going to settle with the people of Austin and fix our broken system of police accountability so this does not happen again."
- The Austin Police Accountability Coalition (APAC)
Austin city council members have a choice to make on Thursday, July 29.
At 11:45am APAC is hosting a Rally for Reform at City Hall. At noon, John Bush will address council about police accountability as part of citizens communications. Later in the afternoon or evening, the city council will vote on whether to accept the $750,000.00 Sanders family settlement for the death of their son at the hands of Officer Quintana. Citizens of Austin can sign up to address city council regarding the settlement and public comment is expected.
This is on the heals of the Austin police union issuing an angry letter to the mayor and city council members pleading with them to reject the settlement.
It will be interesting to see what message each of our city council members will choose to send about the series of headlines that have continued to fuel discussion while they were away on summer break. Whether each of them votes the settlement up or down is the current obsession of the police union, but more citizens are concerned about the systematic failures that have become obvious and how our leaders are planning to fix them.
Consider participating or watching events unfold yourself on July 29 at City Hall. Action will pick up at 11:45am and continue until the Nathaniel Sanders votes are cast. The Sanders vote is Item 107 on the agenda. If you can't make it in person, please watch live online or on TV or listen on the radio, or if you miss it check out the archives.
HERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT RESOURCES
This video keeps it real. John Bush with TAGTexas.org "7/29 Austin City Cncl Mtg Preview Part 2:Austin War Machine & APD Accountability":
Scapegoating is Not Accountability
Let’s review: the most widely reported critical incident under our present police Chief, the shooting death of Nathaniel Sanders, II on May 11, 2009, spawned the most controversial cover-up in recent Austin history. Now three people involved have left the City:
- Christopher Dunn, the APD investigator fired for “bias” when third party entities exposed his ill-advised email suggesting Internal Affairs (“IA”) use the victim’s criminal history as a means to justify the shooting (his firing was upheld by the independent arbitrator last week).
- David Smith, the former City of Austin Attorney/head of the City’s Legal Department, who did his utmost to keep the independent investigation under wraps through questionable legal wrangling, resigned once the report was eventually leaked to the media, as it exposed that lethal force was not, in fact, justified, and that an independent investigation’s results are only disclosed by the City when it serves the police.
- Leonard Quintana, the APD officer who shot Sanders, but not for the shooting, for an off-duty DWI where he had tried to flee the scene because he was in a hurry to get busy with the stripper he picked up that night (his appeal hearing is in Sept. – many suspect his firing won’t be upheld as there is no precedent for firing a cop over one DWI off-duty, meaning he may well be back at APD)
Dunn Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Over
Chief Acevedo came off the starting line convinced it was a justified shooting, stating on the day of the shooting, on camera, that he was "confident in the legality of the initial shots fired."
Dunn and a few other detectives had just been transferred to IA and were given no training or simple instructions about how IA investigations differed from criminal ones. Chief Acevedo poo-pooed needing to train them when I questioned him on it, yet two years earlier sent other investigators to LAPD for training there (yes, you heard me right: LAPD as a “model” for internal affairs). Ironically, his new IA head recently instituted training as he recognized the need for it. Dunn and his colleagues were assigned this controversial case, despite being new – demonstrating questionable judgment in and of itself.
They prepared an investigative report and when their supervisor, Johnson, returned from vacation, he took one look and said, “HELL no,” preparing a new report before submitting it to the Chief. This report cited the same violations found by the independent group the City hired, KeyPoint, whereas the Dunn/Harkin report only cited him having violated the camera policy.
The Dunn report was submitted by the Chief to the District Attorney, meaning this is what the Grand Jury relied on AND was the report the Chief relied on in assigning discipline to Quintana and the other two officers at the incident. Quintana got a slap on the wrist and the others, a tap on the finger, despite some questionable disciplinary history that came to light, mainly on Quintana. It’s rare to get that history because of laws and contracts and police union power being what they are, so the ones we can see raise many eyebrows. If we had more of that history, I suspect we’d be wondering why Quintana was still on the force by the time he arrived on a sleeping Sanders and Sir Smith.
The Dunn email wasn’t exposed until months later and the Chief fired him for “bias” shown in the investigative process and making APD look bad. But he used that very “biased” report as his guide in responding to the case! He tossed Johnson’s report in the trash, because it didn’t match his Day 1 story…and because to recognize those other violations would have not only seriously raised doubt about the conclusion of that report (that lethal force was justified), but raise questions about training and supervisory processes that the Chief wasn’t prepared to answer for.
He even got rid of the other investigators in IA and brought new ones in (with any better credentials?), but has never explained why Dunn should be canned, the other investigators not, but that the report built on bias should be considered valid regardless.
The other investigators saw the email…they admitted that at Dunn’s disciplinary hearing…and thought nothing of it. Attacking the victim to excuse the officer has been modus operandi in IA for its entire existence. They all used Sanders criminal history to justify shooting someone who may or may not have even had a gun, much less had it in his hand. That’s precisely why they only found him in violation of a policy prior to the shooting. Johnson was just smart enough to recognize this would have intensive public scrutiny and they needed to add more violations or risk outcry.
Too bad Chief Acevedo didn’t foresee that. He knew the risks and took them to cover himself; this isn’t about covering for Quintana so much as a public relations maneuver to keep his own hands as clean as possible. His sending the KeyPoint report to his CHiPs buddy for “analysis” merely indicates his over-reaching to undermine the Johnson & KeyPoint charges. This unofficial and highly unprofessional hand-scrawled take, using terms like “bullshit,” provided the Chief’s talking points for why he thought the other charges weren’t valid, but he hasn’t explained this publicly, only in one-on-one conversations. He has still yet to explain why he fired Dunn for bias but relied on that biased report for Quintana’s discipline.
Johnson also failed. He failed in disciplining Dunn for the email, before it was exposed publicly. An appropriate response would have been to give him a short suspension, move him out of IA, or provide training and put him on probation to stay in IA.
The Chief is ultimately responsible for internal oversight, and Chris Dunn paid a steep price for failures and machinations above him, for exposing in writing IA's MO. If every officer on the force were fired for stupid actions, well…let's just say that's an overly broad termination justification.
Smith Gone but Ott Forgotten
It’s a bit harder to fathom David Smith a “scapegoat.” For years and on a variety of fronts, he’s put politics over the law to gain traction, both for the City and for his own department – forcing Council to be solely reliant on him for legal analysis. "The forced resignation of David Smith in light of the KeyPoint fiasco and resulting loss of confidence in the police and city leaders is a step forward. He has long substituted his own personal political judgment for sound legal advice to the city's leaders so that they can make appropriate decisions." (Texas Civil Rights Project, "TCRP")
Smith was close to retirement, had made too many enemies to be effective, and became a convenient scapegoat. City Manager Marc Ott, in response to the Mayor’s request, wrote up a long memo that was supposed to tell us “who knew what and when,” but didn’t AT ALL. I could have pieced that together from press clippings. He forced Smith out, wrote the memo and has long moved on, ignoring community pleas for real information and reforms.
Ott's, in fact, not responded to follow up questions from the Mayor's office on May 27, other than saying he would answer them the following week. So it's not just the community's list of questions and demands, also from May, that are being ignored.
The KeyPoint report was only “released” (too little, too late, it had already been leaked) after negotiations with the police union took place. Of course, NO conversations took place with the community or with third party legal entities---it took a lawsuit to force the issue. But the leak of the report to the press, by a still unknown source, rendered the lawsuit moot and the City settled for $12,000 to cover costs of the Plaintiff (TCRP, who said: "It was shameful we had to file suit to vindicate the citizens' right to see the report. There was no legal basis for the city to hide the report."). That means we paid $62,000 total to see a report that was meant to validate or correct APD’s investigation and was specifically meant for the public to see. The report has been dismissed by all officials as "just an opinion," but at the outset Ott said he had full confidence in this firm to give a fair analysis, that's why he paid them $50,000 of our money to do it!
Smith "should not be made a scapegoat about the KeyPoint mess. There is plenty of serious and substantial blame to go around. This should be only the first of a series of corrective measures." (TCRP) Ott should have had Acevedo immediately retract the statement he made on the day of the shooting and press him that he needs to call for no pre-judgment, that the investigation will be thorough and fair. For that matter, he should have questioned him cutting IA's investigation window in half. That was merely to stroke the public, who doesn't generally understand the intricacies of an investigation. It seems they missed a lot: i.e., ask why they didn't run the gun supposedly in Sanders' possession for fingerprints (there were none, which could indicate sloppiness or mean they already knew that and sought to keep it under wraps).
Acevedo’s Dug a Hole So Deep, He’s Drenched in Oil
As we now know, Leonard Quintana already had quite a disciplinary history before the shooting ever took place, but Acevedo actually overturned IA’s findings that he should have been disciplined for at least one of them. If the civil trial exposes more of that history, and we find he committed offenses he should have been fired or placed on restrictive duty for, then Nathaniel Sanders, II’s blood is on the Chief’s hands, just as Kevin Brown’s blood is on Chief Knee’s hands (which were, at the time of Brown’s shooting, used to train police in Afghanistan for the infamous DynCorp for a pretty penny) since he should have fired Michael Olsen four years prior for the unjustified brutality brought upon Jeffrey Thornton, all caught on the TX Lottery camera on 6th St.
His firing of Quintana for the DWI was purely a public relations move. It does NOT offer any semblance of accountability in Sanders’ shooting death, and if he is placed back on the force in September because of the poor calculation, and even worse motives, by the Chief, then he will have to answer to any future missteps by this dangerous officer.
Let me say that again. If the arbitrator places Quintana back on the force, it is not the arbitrator we should be angry with—it’s the Chief. If new information comes out about further faults in APD’s Sanders shooting investigation via the civil suit, the Chief and Ott will have to answer. If the City settles before trial July 19, is that an admittance of wrongdoing on their part or if the jury rules in favor of the Sanders’ family…should Acevedo remain our Chief of Police?

WESTLEY CAPPER will receive a maximum sentence of just two-and-half years after he confessed to killing a Bolivian mother in Marbella last year.
State prosecutors in Spain are seeking the less than lengthy sentence for the son of a British multi-millionaire, who was already on bail over the disappearance of Agnese Klavina.
Capper, 39, has reportedly been told that the money he paid to the mother’s family has been taken into account by prosectuors.
Privately-educated Capper mowed down Fatima Dorado, 40, in his father’s black Bentley on a zebra crossing in San Pedro de Alcantara.
He was high on cocaine and almost two-times over the drink-drive limit.
Essex-born Capper, who is now living in upmarket Puerto Banus, was already being investigated over the September 2014 disappearance of Agnese Klavina, who has never been found.
A date has not been set for either trial.
An indictment shows state prosecutors will call for Capper to receive a two-year, six-month prison sentence and a three-year, six-month driving ban for the manslaughter of Dorado when the case gets to court.
Under Spanish law he could be sentenced to a total of four-and-a-half years for killing her while under the influence of drink and drugs.

Nineteenth-Century Representations of Native Americans
Native Americans in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century America were most commonly represented by Euro-Americans as either dangerous barbarians or as the embodiment of Rousseau's idealized noble savage. Despite the wide variety of nations and indigenous cultures existing across the United States and its territories, Native Americans were most often depicted in monolithic terms, their differences elided into a handful of stereotypes that concentrated on their interactions with whites more than on their pre-contact cultural identities.
Native American characters were considered an essential part of nineteenth century fictional works on colonial and early American life. The United States would have to develop an original and uniquely American literature if the new country were ever to free itself from cultural dependence on Europe, the reasoning went, and what could be more uniquely American than the native population, their cultures, and their interaction with white settlers. Writing about Indians became such an established convention that Nathaniel Hawthorne felt alienated from his peers because he had produced no stories on the subject. He was convinced that “no writer can be more secure of a permanent place in our literature, than the biographer of the Indian chiefs.” By his own estimation, though, Hawthorne was “shut out from the most peculiar field of American fiction, by an inability to see any romance, or poetry, or grandeur, or beauty in the Indian character.” He was not alone in this prejudice; many writers who were producing fictional representations of Native Americans shared his view. While many depictions of Indians and Indian life were idealized and romantic, there were an equal number that vilified the Indian as a brutish creature little better than an animal. Often the two representations existed side by side.
For many writers, as for Americans in general, the native population became synonymous with the wilderness and all the dangers it entailed. The desperate struggle for survival that characterized early attempts at colonization remained fresh in the minds of white settlers and their descendants. The first towns and villages seemed to have a tenuous hold on civilized life as opposed to the surrounding forests which came to be associated with savagery and barbarism. Religion played an important role in extending the wilderness/civilization dichotomy to portray Native Americans as agents of Satan versus the settlers' status as God's chosen people. If Puritans were engaged in God's work in establishing and expanding colonies in New England, then any obstacle to their success must necessarily be inspired by the devil. That Indians were the color traditionally associated with Satan added to the myth according to Joseph B. McCullough and Robert K. Dodge, who have explored the connection between Puritan mythology and early American fictional representations of Indians.
The American writer most closely associated with incorporating Indian characters into his fiction was James Fenimore Cooper, who, having had little personal experience with the native population, used historical accounts produced by white writers as his source material. Cooper's most famous tales were the five books that make up the Leatherstocking series, but he portrayed Indians in several other novels as well. In his earlier work, Indians tended to be one of two possible types—either noble savage or red devil—but in one of his later works, Wyandotté (1843), both characterizations are present in one man, alternately called Wyandotté and Saucy Nick. Louise K. Barnett has studied this representation of the Indian as a complex “split personality,” and claims that this is a more...

The old maxim about the only constant being change holds true in health IT careers, according to an article at Tech.Co.
Speaking with baby boomer technology experts, author Tim Cannon, vice president of product management and marketing at HealthITJobs.com, examined what new IT workers in healthcare should know.
Healthcare administrator and author Christina Thielst noted that while health IT is a fast-paced field, so much change can lead to instability.
"However, if you are up for a wild ride and willing to be flexible there will be tremendous opportunities in health IT," she said.
The rapid change within the industry can be unsettling to IT pros, Cannon noted, saying that IT workers must constantly learn and expand their areas of knowledge.
"Just knowing IT is not enough," said Peter Gilbert, application development manager at Meridian Health Plan. "You need to know the business that you support to make effective use of technology. It is not all about technology. It is about using technology to do good things."
Gilbert also urged IT pros to find and follow their passion. However, that could be difficult for young recruits, who would like to work on innovating with bleeding edge technology. Hospital CIOs spend little of their time innovating, according to a 2014 College of Healthcare Information Management Executives poll. "Healthcare has been in the slow lane for years and it's time for us to catch up," Gretchen Tegethoff, a member of CHIME's board of trustees, said of the finding.
A Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society workforce survey found IT hiring "consistent," though 35 percent of respondents reported putting IT initiatives on hold because of lack of qualified staff.
That might indicate a shortage of available talent--healthcare organizations prize experience in healthcare above all--or that the organization isn't providing the resources to compete for IT talent, as a recent article at CIO.com pointed out.

Choral songs by Debussy, Lili Boulanger, Poulenc and Ravel
Nota Bene, conducted by Christine Argyle.
The Marae, Te Papa
Saturday, 4 April 2009
One of the musical accompaniments for the temporary exhibition entitled Monet and the Impressionists was an hour-long, free concert by Wellington chamber choir Nota Bene. It was founded in 2004 by Christine Argyle whose voice is familiar to listeners to Radio New Zealand Concert and it has become known for its varied and perhaps quirky programmes, such as one entitled Sentimental Journey which recalled the character of broadcasting before most of the choir were born. The choir also operates in the market-place as a ‘choir-for-hire’ for weddings as such.
In 2007 I commented in a review that “it’s always impossible to predict the character of the next concert; so far, each has been a unique creation, built around a musical idea; not an academic concept, but something that lends itself to a programme that is invariably entertaining.”
This Saturday afternoon concert did not fall into that class for its character was prescribed.
It was a free concert, open to the rest of the museum and ordinary museum visitors, attracted by the sounds, came and went; some stayed standing at the back – every seat was taken; some drifted away.
Its setting was the first thing to remark. The uniquely designed marae or concert room if you prefer, decorated in the most remarkable way by Cliff Whiting, one of the most imaginative of Maori artists who has used traditional figures but juxtaposed and coloured them in a unique way. And there was something perhaps incongruous in a group of formally dressed singers performing French music mostly from the early years of the 20th century.
The ensemble began with three Debussy choral settings of three poems by the 15th century Charles duc d’Orléans: ‘Dieu! Qu’il la fait bon regarder’, ‘Quand j’ai ouy le tambourin’ and ‘Yver, vous n’estes qu’un villain’.
Only the second of the set struck me as of much interest; the others showed Debussy paying somewhat ritual homage to the age of Dufay. The third one was made delightful however by the group of soloists: Jane McKinlay, Marian Willberg, Peter Dyne and Jonathan Kennedy.
Lili Boulanger’s songs (‘Soir sur la plaine’, ‘Les sirènes’ and ‘Hymne au soleil’) were scattered through the programme and were more seriously interesting, illuminated by Emma Sayers’ colourful and individual piano accompaniments which enchanted my ear, particularly the first two which really were perfect aural equivalents of Monet . Anna Sedcole, Patrick Geddes and Kennedy again.
There were three songs by Ravel (‘Nicolette’, ‘Trois oiseaux du Paradis’ and ‘Ronde’) that hinted at folk song, sometimes droll, Satie-esque, with witty changes of tone,
Pianist Claire Harris played three Novelettes by Poulenc that punctuated the concert, they recalled now Couperin, now Satie, were flippant, spiky and the last an unpretentious, charming, rocking piece.
Whether it cast light on the Monet paintings I cannot say and whether the excellence of the choir with its splendid, lively singing registered with this varied audience, I cannot guess, but it can only be a good thing for Te Papa to use its spaces regularly to present other than the visual arts.
