If you missed the fireworks or just can’t get enough, check out this awesome finale from the Mount Prospect Lions Village Fair at Melas Park near Central Road and Busse Road from Saturday, July 4, 2009.

The camera view is looking South from the bike path, north of Melas Park and just south of the Metra Northwest Line in Mount Prospect.

Many residents from Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect line up along Northwest Highway and the Stonegate subdivision to add to the crowd that watches from Melas Park.

In Northlake about 6:00 a.m. Saturday police alerted area departments of a vehicle with a woman driver and two Hispanic passengers. Three shots rang out from the car early Saturday morning. The car was described as a white four-door with a red hood. Northlake police officers apprehended a male Hispanic offender related to the case. He possessed a sawed-off shotgun.

On July 3, 2009 the clock in the header of Arlingtoncardinal.com ceased functioning due to the fact that the connection to Clocklink.com was interrupted after an electrical fire and blown transformer knocked out their data center. Page load errors were noted and most users experienced immediate display of The Cardinal page header without the clock, but then the rest of the page was delayed for about 18 to 20 seconds.

Since this clock function interfered with the proper loading of The Cardinal pages, the clock function has been removed. The Cardinal pages now load much faster.

Direct access to Clocklinked was also delayed, apparently due to technical difficulties. Some other pages where clocks do not appear in a header style sheet have been left untouched across The Cardinal websites. These pages still load in a timely manner, but the clock is simply blank.

Due to unreliable performance of the clock in the header, and its interference with proper loading of web pages in The Cardinal, the header clock is likely to be PERMANENTLY removed.

The Cardinal looks forward to the return of Clocklink.com clocks on other pages [UPDATE iClock was restored sometime after 8 a.m. CDT]. Best of luck to clocklink.com in getting restored.

The outage at Clocklink.com was caused by a fire in a data center at Seattle’s Fisher Plaza just after midnight early Friday morning. A blown transformer knocked out power to the entire building Other web sites affected were Adhost.com, Allrecipes.com, Bartelldrugs.com, Bing Travel, Geocaching.com, Redfin online real estate, and Authorize.net.

One male arrested, and a call for backup units as offender continued resisting during arrest.

Police found no alcohol in the group’s possession, and they were leaving the area.

A report of shots fired at the Apple Store Clarendon in Arlington, Virginia shortly after the store opened Friday morning at about 10 a.m. EDT. The shooting is possibly related to an armed robbery.

At least one person, a female store employee, was shot in the shoulder, and has been transported out of the store by paramedics. The 26-year-old employee was listed in serious, but stable condition.

Witnesses report hearing a loud gunshot coming from a back room and a woman screaming. The woman said someone had been shot. The gunshot was heard after the sound of a lot of boxes falling in the back room.

Surveillance video immediately before and after shooting at Apple Store — Clarendon in Arlington, Virginia.

SUSPECT DESCRIPTION:
The suspect is described as black/male with a light to medium build, in his twenties (or 30-45) and wearing a fake beard. Some of his clothing was a beige color. He had a dark baseball cap and his shirt was a short sleeve shirt. The offender fled from the back of the Apple Store — out a back door.

There is a heavy police response from Arlington Police Department at the store and police are using at least one U.S. Park Police helicopter and K-9 units to search for the suspect. A search perimeter has been established around the Apple Store location at 2700 Clarendon Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia. The store is temporarily closed.

The Apple Store Clarendon is located in the Market Common outdoor shopping center about two miles northwest of the Pentagon on the west side of the Potomac River. Arlington National Cemetery is located between the Pentagon and the Apple Store Clarendon.
