Organizers have canceled a gun buyback at the request of Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, who said Colorado's new gun laws would make the Aug. 4 event nearly impossible to stage.
"The bottom line is what we anticipated doing would still be legal -- but procedurally we can't follow through with it at this time," Pelle said Tuesday.
A stricter law that went into effect July 1 requires buyers to go to a licensed firearms dealer and undergo a background check. The InstaCheck systems used in the checks are not mobile, which means they couldn't be used at the sheriff's compound where the buyback was planned.
"It's not a portable system," Pelle said. "It can't be done at the site."
Essentially, for the event to work, Pelle said the group would have to find a licensed firearms dealer to host the event and then pay the dealer per transaction, "which becomes very unproductive," he said.
Together Colorado -- a group that bills itself as a nonpartisan multi-faith organization -- had planned the event.
In an e-mail announcing the cancellation, Sheila Dierks said: "Sheriff Pelle has stood strong for this event, has done tremendous work to make it happen and he is as disappointed as we are."
Event organizers had planned to give gift cards or tickets to sporting events to people who turned in firearms. Students raised nearly $8,000 to purchase the incentives.
The idea was to collect guns and then immediately hand them over to the Sheriff's Office for destruction. Some of the remnants of the destroyed firearms would then be passed along to Boulder-area metalworking artist Jessica Adams to use for a sculpture aimed at creating gun violence awareness.
After consulting Deputy County Attorney Dea Wheeler, Pelle had concluded earlier that as long as members of Together Colorado passed required background checks, it would be legal for them to purchase firearms at the August buyback.
While he said he understands organizers may be disappointed, he said the "larger good" is accomplished by the background check requirement. ___

Bobby Brown Won't Comment on Whitney Houston's Open Casket Photos
Following the fallout from the National Enquirer's publication of Whitney Houston's open casket photo, there's been quite a bit of speculation as to who leaked the shot. While the funeral home and Houston's family adamantly deny any involvement, Bobby Brown has remained silent on the matter.
When TMZ cameras caught up with Brown outside of a lounge in Hollywood, Brown didn't answer any questions about the shot, though he did make goofy faces at the cameras once inside his vehicle. Brown was accompanied by fiancee Alicia Etheridge.
It's unfair to assume that because Brown hasn't talked about the photo that he's not disturbed by it. Based on Brown's relations with Houston's family lately, we think it's a smart move on his part to stay silent. Sources have said previously that Brown is afraid media attention will inhibit his efforts to bond with his and Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina. We think his keeping quiet is in line with that thinking.
That is, unless Brown is saving his thoughts for the alleged tell-all about Houston he's rumored to be writing. We like to think he's simply being respectful of the memory of his late wife and letting her family and friends grieve.

Report by Anders Christian Madsen on 23 February 2014.
Drawing on fire and water – the most menacing powers of nature – the designer put on a grand show, which saw flames lighting up a dark pool in the middle of the circular catwalk, and all the fire, fur, and brimstone you'd associate with the centre of the Earth. It was expressed in slightly Stone Age-y materials and motifs on garments, the prints of which had a cave painting quality about them, and delicate grey fur, which swayed like ashes in the wind.

Upholstery Dreams: Velvet
You know, there are some things you think are pretty, and there are some things that just grab you. There are a few things I feel this way about. Tortoiseshell cats. Saturated blues and greens. And velvet. Something about the way it reflects light, the way it says 'TOUCH ME', just gets me every time.
Velvet was originally associated with royalty, since the process of making it was so time-intensive. The onset of the machine age has made these plush fabrics a lot more accessible, although silk velvets can still cost hundred of dollars a yard. Fortunately for us plebians, there are also cotton and synthetic versions that are a little more within reach.
Top Row:
1. This couch. This color. Spotted in Joa's Quirky Cool Maisonette (click for full tour).
2. Velvet is perfect and luxe in a modern space. Nate Berkus does it right.
3. Black velvet for maximum drama. From Elle Decor.
4. Because if you're going to go for velvet, why not go all out and go for hot pink velvet? T Magazine via SF Girl by Bay.
5. Look at how that velvet just glows. Swoon. Rue Magazine via Alison Milne.
Bottom Row:
6. If this couch were a word, that word would be FABULOUS. House Beautiful via The Peak of Chic.
7. Orange velvet on a modern couch reads 70s-chic to me. As seen in California Style.
8. I dream of lavender velvet, like in this living room from Lonny.
9. A vintage sofa in a russet velvet looks lovely against a brick wall in Lizzy's lovely Philadelphia loft (click for full tour).
10. Velvet in emerald green? Absolute perfection. (And there's one of those Lalanne sheep nosing about in the corner.) From Rue Magazine.
Can't get enough? Me neither. I love velvet so much I wrote a whole post just about blue velvet. Heather and Kristen felt the same.

The Professional Basketball Writers Association announced the winners of its annual writing contest at All-Star weekend. The top three finishers, as judged by an independent panel of journalists, were chosen in three categories – game stories, columns and features.
The PBWA also named new officers to two-year terms that run through All-Star weekend 2015. Mary Schmitt Boyer of the Cleveland Plain Dealer takes over as President, succeeding two-term predecessor Doug Smith of the Toronto Star. Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel will serve as Vice President, replacing NBA.com's Steve Aschburner.

It provides a network of men and women who cover the league, initially for newspaper beat writers but expanded through the years to include magazine and Web site reporters. The association handles the voting for the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, and presents it own annual awards: the Magic Johnson (to a good player who is media-friendly), the Rudy Tomjanovich (to a head coach who meets the same criteria) and the Brian McIntyre (top team media-relations staff) trophies.
The 2012 contest winners are:
1st Place: Dave McMenamin, ESPN L.A., on Game 1 of the 2012 Western Conference semifinals, Lakers vs. Thunder.
2nd Place: Benjamin Hochman, Denver Post, on Carmelo Anthony's first game against his old Denver Nuggets mates.

Brief Synopsis
Rwanda's horrific civil war suggests that human disasters requiring outside intervention will remain common in Sub-Saharan Africa. The American people want a prompt and effective response to human disasters when the United States becomes involved. The Army is taking steps to enhance its demonstrated effectiveness at such operations. Steven Metz examines the policy and strategy implications of violence-induced human disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa with special emphasis on Rwanda. The author argues that our senior military leaders, policymakers and strategists must better understand the African security environment. He also warns that to avoid overtaxing the military, U.S. objectives in African disaster relief must be limited. This combination of limited policy goals and operational efficiency will allow the U.S. military to serve public demands at a minimal cost to its other efforts.

Think Audrey Hepburn
Short hairstyles, like most styles, come in and out of fashion regularly, but they usually spend more time "in" than out.
Recently, a long layered hair style was at the forefront of the beauty industry, but more recently, women have once again embraced the freedom and surprising versatility of short hairstyles.
If you look at a picture of short hairstyles from the 1920's, you'll see that the hair is "marcelled." This was a process by which women's hairstyle was coaxed into tight, head-hugging waves. But if you look at a picture of short hairstyles from the 60's, you'll see that the women's hairstyle of that era was straight...often rolled on giant coffee cans to achieve the right effect.
The decision to trade in a long-layered hair style for one of the new short hairstyles should be one that any woman makes with the help of her stylist.
Many women choose short hairstyles to add height...something that is especially becoming when middle-age creeps in and things begin to "sag" all over. However, rather than short hairstyles, it's often true that an updo hair style is a better way to achieve "lift" and height.
Another "plus" about the new short hairstyles is that they can easily be "lengthened" temporarily by the addition of weaves, braids, and hairpieces. It's easy to change your hip 2004 hairstyle into retro 80's hair style with just a few hair products...and then change back to your regular short hairstyle.
To help your stylist select one of the new short hairstyles that would be best for you, be sure to bring any photo of the 2004 hairstyle that you've seen that "captures" what you'd like to achieve.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT)
As a test for leg weakness, a neurologist might ask patients to walk on their heels or move part of their leg against an opposing force.
To look for sensory loss, the neurologist will usually test the patient's deep tendon reflexes (like the knee-jerk reflex), which are reduced or absent in most people with CMT.
During this initial evaluation, the neurologist also will ask about the patient's family history. A family history of CMT-like symptoms, combined with signs of nerve damage from the individual's physical exam, strongly point to CMT or another hereditary neuropathy.
Lack of a family history doesn't rule out CMT, but might prompt the neurologist to ask about diabetes, overexposure to certain drugs and other potential causes of neuropathy.
Next, if the diagnosis is still consistent with CMT, the neurologist may arrange for genetic testing. These tests, done by drawing a blood sample, are designed to detect the most common genetic defects known to cause CMT. Many, but certainly not all, of the genetic mutations underlying CMT can be detected with a DNA blood test. For more on getting a definitive genetic diagnosis, see The Genie's Out of the Bottle: Genetic testing in the 21st century.
A positive genetic test result can provide a definite diagnosis and useful information for family planning. But once again, a negative result doesn't rule out CMT.
The neurologist also may perform a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test, which measures the strength and speed of electrical signals transmitted through nerves. It's done by placing surface electrodes, similar to those used for electrocardiograms, on the skin at various points over a nerve. One electrode delivers a mild shock that stimulates an electrical response in the nerve, and the others record this response as it travels through the nerve.
Delayed responses are a sign of demyelination and small responses are a sign of axonopathy. Thus, NCV is often used to distinguish between CMT1 and CMT2.
Other procedures sometimes used to diagnose CMT include electromyography (EMG), which measures the electrical signals in muscles, and less commonly, nerve biopsy, which involves the removal and examination of a small piece of nerve.

If you could locate one properly, a PVB would provide the highest level of protection (no future reworking) with about the same pressure loss as the DCVA
Tuesday, July 6th 2010, 11:48am
I have 3/4" coming into the meter. I tested pressure on my spigot outside and I have 75-80psi, but that is on half inch. I plant to use 1" for the sprinkler system, how much pressure loss will I get? Currently it immediately drops down to 1/2" just after the meter. This is how I plan to tap into the system for my sprinkler system. Does it look ok? Any concerns?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you could locate one properly, a PVB would provide the highest level of protection (no future reworking) with about the same pressure loss as the DCVA
Boots, don't go pushing PVB's. In a lot of areas, they are illegal. Yes, they do have about the same pressure loss as a DCVA, but no where on this planet do they provide the highest level of protection.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Freshman James Smith (Eastbourne, England) tallied a goal and an assist to lead the second-seeded Lees-McRae College men's soccer team to a 3-1 victory over sixth-seeded Erskine College in the semifinal round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament on Friday night on Tate Field.
Lees-McRae (14-4-1) outshot Erskine (10-8-1) by a 21-10 margin, including an 11-5 advantage in the first half, while holding a narrow 6-4 edge in corner kicks. Smith paced the Bobcats with one goal and one assist, while Scott Hudgins (Fort Myers, Fla.) and Scott Alford (Hillsborough, N.C.) each found the back of the net for LMC, as James Galvani (High Wycombe, England) added an assist.
Thomas Rusling (Sheffield, England) posted five saves for the Bobcats, while Erskine' s Roberto De La Vina made nine stops for the Flying Fleet. Randy Johnson tallied the lone goal for Erskine, as Jonathan Rutter added an assist.
Smith opened the scoring early in the 18th minute, taking a centering ball from Galvani and finding the bottom corner with a finish through a defender's legs to give Lees-McRae an early 1-0 lead. Hudgins doubled the advantage to 2-0 midway through the 25th minute burying a loose ball in the upper 90 for his third goal of the season. Alford pushed the margin to 3-0 in the 41st minute with his seventh goal of the season, nodding home a free header off a Smith corner.
The Bobcats held the three-goal lead until the closing minutes of regulation, when Johnson cut the margin to 3-1 off a cross from Rutter to equal the final score line.
Lees-McRae returns to the pitch on Sunday when the second-seeded Bobcats travel to Hartsville, S.C. to take on No. 5 and top-seeded Coker College in the Conference Carolinas Tournament final at 1 p.m. The Bobcats won the teams' regular season meeting by a 1-0 score line in an extra time thriller.

About AMI
Founded in 1965 and committed to battling a demonstrated discriminatory culture against people of Mustached American heritage, the American Mustache Institute is the world's leading facial hair advocacy organization and think tank protecting the rights of, and fighting discrimination against, Mustached Americans and all peoples of facial hair by promoting the growth, care and culture of the lower nose forest.
Broadly considered the bravest organization in the history of mankind behind only the U.S. military and the post-Jim Henson Muppets, the Institute serves as the ACLU of the downtrodden Mustached American people, making its headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA – a most rugged and masculine town worthy of such a rugged and masculine lifestyle.
AMI continues to battle the negative stereotyping that has accompanied the mustache since those glory years of the 1970s – the peak of mustache acceptance – fighting to create a climate of acceptance, understanding, flavor saving, and upper lip warmth for all mustached Americans alike.

Reddit is getting a chuckle and shock out of the itemized bill a mom and dad received after the birth of their newborn.
The user 'halfthrottle' posted an image of the hospital's billing statement under the headline "I had to pay $39.35 to hold my baby after he was born."
It shows several services you'd likely expect during a Caesarean section with the bill totalling out to just over $13,000.
One charge in particular got their attention, however: "Skin to skin after c-sec … 1 … $39.35."
The dad wrote, "The nurse let me hold the baby on my wife's neck/chest. Even borrowed my camera to take a few pictures for us. Everyone involved in the process was great, and we had a positive experience. We just got a chuckle out of seeing that on the bill."
I had to pay $39.35 to hold my baby after he was born.
Many Reddit users of course scoffed at the charge, but one nurse (user FiftySixer) offered this explanation:
"I didn't know that hospitals charged for it, but doing 'skin to skin' in the operating room requires an additional staff member to be present just to watch the baby. We used to take all babies to the nursery once the NICU team made sure everything was okay. "Skin to skin" in the OR is a relatively new thing and requires a second Labor and Delivery RN to come in to the OR and make sure the baby is safe."
What do you think? Is the charge ridiculous or acceptable? Join in on the conversation on the KGW Facebook page.

One of the tricks that always work the different interior design ideas is that one should avoid single colours if possible. Instead, combination of different colours and textures should be used for the colour of a room because otherwise it might have a dull and a boring feel to it. This way the different interior design ideas would seem to be quite vibrant.
This is one very important trick, which makes almost any of the interior design ideas, work successfully. Accommodating too many things in inadequate space may cause the rooms to look quite cluttered. Thus, while arranging for the required things, the available space area should be properly determined and then the proper designing should be done as per the space available.
Where the lighting is concerned, any kind of interior design ideas would work if the decorator has an idea of the natural light that enters the room. Then the artificial lighting arrangements should be done and floor lamps, candles, and table lamps can be installed. It always helps the interior design ideas, if the lighting arrangements can create different kind of variation with the highlight, shadows, and brightness.
Important tip that many interior designing experts have opined is that mirrors could be hung which would make the room seem to be little larger than it originally is and it also helps in bringing additional amount of light inside the room. Proper care should be taken to see that these mirrors do not reflect just the ceiling only but something other than that. Home is the place where you tend to relax and be yourself. So with proper interior decorations as well as designs, a home can prove to be very inviting after a very grinding day. Many interior design ideas that have been developed over time have helped in making the perfect home environment.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The leader of the exiled provisional government of a small strip of land on the northern shores of Algeria was in Israel last week, and expressed hopes for both independence for his ancient nation and alliance with the Jewish state.
The area known as Kabylie was an independent nation for much of the past 500 years, but was strong-armed into becoming part of Algeria during French colonization. That despite the fact that the resident of Kabylie are not Arabs like most other Algerians (they are Berbers), and have a distinct culture and language.
Those cultural differences have been a point of contention for well over 100 years. In the late 1990s, government forces and Islamic radicals began attacking Kabylie, and a few years later the government officially banned the Kabylie culture and language.
In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Ferhat Mehenni, president of the Provisional Government of Kabylie, likened his people's plight to that of the Jews and Israel.
"Both countries share kind of the same path, but Israel already exists – that's the only difference," said Mehenni, who has been making the rounds of Western governments recently hoping to gain favor for a Kabylie independence movement.
Mehenni said that if Kabylie were to gain independence, one of its first actions would be to forge a lasting relationship with Israel. He even noted that Kabylie applauded Israel's military defeat of Arab armies in 1967 and 1973.

In a small, utilitarian office in Glendale, Ron Henderson methodically jotted down equations for Isaac Newton's Three Laws of Motion on a whiteboard next to his desk.
The equations, the physicist explained, are the mathematical building blocks for constructing a three-dimensional, bubble-like sphere.
Henderson could easily have been preparing a lesson at Caltech, where he once was a faculty member. Instead, he was at DreamWorks Animation's Tuscany-style campus, doing his part to bridge the divide between art and science.
Henderson was explaining the math behind a fluid-simulation technology that would help artists working on the upcoming movie "Home" draw soap bubbles inhabited by a race of diminutive aliens called the Boov.
To give them visual references, Henderson and his team began by studying drawings and photos of soap films and bubbles last year. He invited a physicist colleague from San Jose State to give a lecture titled "Bubble Science."
The physicist, Alejandro Garcia, took a low-tech approach. He arrived at the studio with boxes of liquid soap and party bubbles, using a plastic wand to fashion large bubbles for an audience of artists and technicians gathered at an outdoor amphitheater.
"He did cool things that we're not doing, like what happens when you make a soap bubble out of hydrogen and set it on fire?" Henderson said, chuckling. "What does that look like?" (The bubble made a loud boom and burst into a fireball when an assistant took a Tiki torch to it.)
That's the kind of thing that happens when the scientific set makes the move to the movies.
"What we're doing here is creating tools for artists," Henderson said. "I think it's going to be a success."
Henderson, 47, is part of an expanding cadre of high-level physicists, engineers and other scientists, including many former NASA employees, who have left careers in aerospace and academia to work in the movie business.
Demand for their services has grown as animated movies, once created by hand, push the boundaries of what can be created on a computer screen. Artists at DreamWorks, Disney-owned Pixar and other studios increasingly rely on the services of people such as Henderson to create complex algorithms to simulate realistic-looking water, fire, dust and other elements in movies packed with action and special effects.
"The physics behind what's happening in these movies is incredibly complicated," said Paul Debevec, a computer scientist and chief visual officer at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies. "You need real scientists to understand what's going on. These are Ph.D.-level folks who could have been publishing papers in Physics Today. Instead, they are working on Hollywood blockbuster films."
Scientists who leave academia for Hollywood risk losing some prestige among their peers. "My advisor at Caltech got some flak from Princeton, saying 'How come you guys let him leave?'" Henderson said.
Although they typically get paid more in the film business, Henderson says money isn't the main draw. He cites the excitement of working on movies and the challenge of finding solutions to technical problems.
DreamWorks has one of the largest contingents of scientists.
"We have sculptors and painters working side by side with software developers and particle physicists," said Dan Satterthwaite, the studio's human resources director.
The company's research and development group has about 120 members with master's and doctoral degrees in such fields as cognitive science, astrophysics, aeronautical engineering, chemistry, mathematics and computer science. Nearly a dozen of them are former employees of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The studio has even hired biologists to advise animators on how to correctly illustrate the proper branch structure on a tree.
"This whole company is a very interesting mix of left brain and right brain," said Jim Mainard, head of digital strategy and new business development for DreamWorks. "Often we end up at the same place, but from different directions."
Mainard, himself a computer scientist, used to work for a NASA contractor involved in the Hubble Space Telescope. He also created film simulations for the Navy before DreamWorks hired him to help the studio build its own pipeline of computer-animated movies.
"When I came out of college, I never thought I would work in the entertainment business," Mainard said. "For me, it was just a great time to make the transition. We were having our first child and I just liked the idea of making animated films. I thought that would align with having a family.... Making people laugh is a great legacy."
Henderson's office is cluttered with hints of his academic past. A bookshelf is lined with scientific texts with titles such as "Fluid Dynamics" and "Differential Equations." On his desk is a manuscript for a book he co-wrote called "Multithreading for Visual Effects."
Pinned on the front door is a congratulatory letter for a Technical Achievement Award he received in February from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Henderson, a director of the DreamWorks research and development team, received the award for developing a fluid-simulation system called Flux, which creates high-resolution effects 100 times faster than in the past.
"I was at home in Kentucky for the holidays when the announcement came out at midnight," Henderson said. "I woke up my wife and kids.... It was a big honor."
Henderson was born and raised in a small town near Nashville. A math whiz in high school, he dreamed of becoming a rocket scientist, studying aeronautical engineering at Purdue University. Later, he received a doctorate from Princeton in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
His groundbreaking research in the field of fluid dynamics landed him a job as a faculty member at Caltech, where he taught for five years before taking a leave to work for a commercial software company, ArsDigita.
When that company was sold in 2002, Henderson decided to make a permanent switch to the private sector. He joined DreamWorks, where a former Caltech colleague had worked.
"Science can be a very lonely activity," he said. "I wanted to use my background in computational physics, but I wanted to have the experience of working with people and being able to see the results of what I did."
Seeing "Shrek" also piqued his scientific curiosity about the new medium of computer-generated imagery, or CGI, that was changing how movies were made.
"What astonished me was how much detail and motion there was in every frame, the motion of the trees, the grass and all the other elements," he said. "It intrigued me to the point that I didn't think it was possible."
Part of Henderson's role is to foster a culture of collaboration between workers from disparate backgrounds. Artists and engineers hold biweekly meetings and also work on the same floor to interact more easily.
Much of their focus is on what he calls improving the "scale of production." Because there are so many shots in a single movie — one film might have 700 scenes with fire, for example — Henderson and his team spend much of their time trying to devise more efficient ways of simulating effects through improved software and hardware.
Then there are specific technical challenges of creating something visually unique to the look of each film, such as the frost in "Rise of the Guardians," the stylized cannon fire in "Kung Fu Panda 2," or the ice-breathing dragon in "How to Train Your Dragon 2."
His latest challenge was creating the bubble-like spheres in "Home," which would provide the unique look to spaceships in the movie.
Turns out, creating a computer animation image of a bubble on a flat surface is one thing, but wrapping that image around a floating soccer-ball-like sphere is a much trickier problem of math and physics.
Using a variation on a numerical weather-prediction model, Henderson tapped into his knowledge of fluid dynamics to devise a new way to simulate flow on a sphere.
The fact that few moviegoers will appreciate the technical achievement doesn't bother him.
"I can go work for an oil company or I could go back to academia," he said, "but the personal gratification of doing something where you can clearly see the results of your work, and where you feel you are providing a unique benefit to the artists — that's what keeps me coming here every day."

Sixty High School Seniors Complete OLAB Programby Jim Amidon • July 15, 2007 Share:
By late Saturday afternoon, the 60 rising high school seniors who spent the week at Wabash participating in the 2007 Opportunities to Learn About Business program had completed about a semester's worth of college business, marketing, speech, and advertising classes. All in just seven days.
They graduated from the program in a ceremony at Wabash's Salter Hall, during which individual students and teams were recognized for their outstanding performance during the program. Click here to see pictures of this year's award winners.
The program is a business simulation game that pits 12 teams of five students each in competition with each other in the ultra competitive technology market. Each team had to develop a hand-held device with a specific target market in mind, then create innovative features that their market segments would not only want to have, but couldn't live without.
Devices ranged from a hand-held musical recording and amplification device to a product that would simplify the work of police and security professionals.
The winning team (pictured right), which managed to keep solid financial books through the week, negotiate a labor agreement, and develop strategic marketing and advertising campaigns, was team 11, Law Tech. Winning team members were Kendall Frazier, Robert Whitsett, Zak Estes, Emily Garmire, and Angela Steinhubel.
The "Labbies" who gave the top marketing presentations were Angela Steinhubel and Dan Hornsby.
Team six, NTone, developed the most creative and compelling advertising campaign. Members of that team included Ross Rucker, Toby Segwick, Dan Horsnby, Stephanie Bristow, and Kimberly Shreves.
The best introductory speech was given by Stephanie Bristow, while Rachel Braun gave the OLAB Commencement speech.
Dan Frascella was honored with the coveted Bull Thrower Award for presenting the best Stockholder Speech.
The final awards were presented to Zak Estes and Rajpreet Heir, who were named Mr. and Ms. Labbie, respectively, for performing at a consistently high level throughout the week-long program.
The OLAB program is directed by Professor Bert Barreto of the Wabash College Economics Department, while Greg Shaheen, a senior vice president with the NCAA, is the Game Master.

Apple is rumoured to be ditching the 30-pin iOS dock connector for a much smaller connector in the next-generation iPhone.
The iMore blog claims that Apple will make the move to a smaller connector not so it can conform to the micro USB standard but to make more space for components in the iPhone 5.
The report claims that the iPod and iPad will also get smaller dock connectors in the future so Apple can make more room for 4G chips and larger batteries in iOS devices.
As the report points out, Apple has in the past done its best to make components smaller - such as the micro-SIM - or move them altogether, like the antenna in the iPhone 4. Also, iMore points to the fact that iOS devices can now update and sync over the air, rather than needing to hook up to a Mac - another reason why the dock connector has become less relevant.
Of course, the article doesn't name any sources, but does admit that a certain amount of conjecture is involved. For example, the prediction that the iPhone 5 will be the first device to use a smaller dock connector rather than the iPad 3, expected to be unveiled in a couple of weeks time, is because the iPad is "a much bigger device which may not be facing the physical size constraints of the iPhone yet".
Meanwhile, iFixit has got its hands on what it purported to be an iPad 3 display, which it sourced via MacRumors and verified that it indeed has a higher resolution than that of the iPad 2.

Master six different classes in six new missions with The Challenges of the Edy Detachment, the fourth batch of downloadable content for Sega's Valkyria Chronicles, coming to the PlayStation Network next week.
When The Challenges of the Edy Detachment was announced back in September of last year, there was a little confusion over the release date. Sega first announced winter 2010 for the release, before correcting that to winter 2009. Either one works, really, as we're in winter, which technically started in 2009, but it's now 2010. They knew what they were talking about. That's what is important.
The new DLC features six missions, each focusing on the skills of one particular class - scout, shocktrooper, lancer, engineer, sniper, and tank - issued by the members of Edy's Detachment, hence the name.
Looks like it's time to dust off those copies of Valkyria Chronicles, or in my case, run to the store and rebuy it. Yes, I am an idiot sometimes.
Squad 7, move out! Valkyria Chronicles DLC #4 is releasing next week! [Sega Blog]

Oklahoma landowners to conserve imperiled species under new grant program
For decades Oklahoma landowners have been leading the way in conserving critical habitat and recently the United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced a series of grants designed to assist landowners in those efforts. Five different grants totaling more than $643,000 were awarded to individuals and groups to undertake conservation projects on private lands for threatened and other at-risk species.
"It is certainly no secret that Oklahoma has a fantastic diversity of plants and animals," said Greg Duffy, director of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "It's also no secret that private landowners are the key to the conservation of natural resources in Oklahoma. The Private Stewardship Grant program is a great tool for forming partnerships and conserving habitats across the state."
The Private Stewardship Grants Program provides federal grants on a competitive basis to individuals and groups engaged in voluntary conservation efforts on private lands that benefit federally listed endangered or threatened species, candidate species or other at-risk species. Under this program, private landowners as well as groups working with private landowners are able to submit proposals directly to the Service for funding assistance. President Bush has requested funding of $10 million for this program in 2004.
The High Plains Rural Conservation and Development Council, a landowner-based group covering Beaver, Dewey, Ellis, Harper, Roger Mills and Woodward counties, received a grant totaling $250,000. The funds are designed to assist private landowners who voluntarily wish to restore 40,020 acres of habitat for High Plains species-at-risk and other grassland species in northwest Oklahoma. This project will assist in meeting conservation priorities for several species including the lesser prairie chicken, black-tailed prairie dog, interior least tern, Arkansas River shiner, mountain plover, Oklahoma phlox, ferruginous hawk and burrowing owl.
The Wild Turkey Center received a $220,841 grant for a riparian habitat improvement project in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. The project will work cooperatively with private landowners along the Canadian River to improve 6,000 acres of riparian habitats. The project will involve control of invasive plant species, tree planting to supplement existing native vegetation, revegetation of denuded areas, fencing out riparian zones, and establishing or improving grazing systems.
The Comanche Pool Prairie Resource Foundation and the High Plains Partnership of Kansas and Oklahoma received a $100,000 grant. This project will continue a rancher-led initiative that has a proven record of success in enhancing mixed-grass and prairie stream habitat for species at risk, such as the candidate black-tailed prairie dog and lesser prairie chicken and the federally listed Arkansas River shiner and Arkansas darter. Participating ranchers will draw from a variety of resource management tools including altered grazing management, prescribed burning, cutting of invasive woody species and stream restoration to improve habitat for targeted prairie species at risk. By actively encouraging ranchers to assist other ranchers in making improvements, good conservation practices for species at risk will continue to expand over a large multi-county area.
Great Eastern Timber Company Timber Partnership received a $44,000 grant for stream habitat projects in Pushmataha and LeFlore counties. The project will replace existing bridge structures over Honobia Creek to improve stream hydrology and remove fish migration barriers for the federally endangered leopard darter.
The Nature Conservancy received a grant totaling $28,850 to fund Ozark big-eared bat conservation efforts in Delaware and Adair counties. The project will work to improve the habitat around the hibernation and maternity caves used by the bats and reduce human disturbance of the bat colonies by restricting access to those caves.
Don't Forget Free Fishing Days
It's not too late - take a neighbor, take a family member, just take somebody to a fishing hole near you. The weekend of June 7-8 is designated as Free Fishing Days in Oklahoma. The event is a perfect opportunity to introduce someone to the joy of fishing.
State fishing licenses are not required on the free fishing days, although anglers should note that local or municipal permits may be required on those days.
Not all out-of-town visitors to Oklahoma are welcome.
Fisheries biologists have recently discovered zebra mussels in Oologah Lake in northeast Oklahoma. According to Barry Bolton, assistant fisheries chief for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the size of the colonies found indicates the mussels were likely introduced into Oologah Lake last year.
These small, rapidly-growing, non-native mussels can cluster together in colonies of hundreds of thousands per square meter. They can alter native ecological systems and disrupt water withdrawal operations by clogging intake pipes.
Zebra mussels also affect recreation activities, Bolton added, the mussels could cause engines to overheat by accumulating in water intakes of inboard and outboard boat motors. Boats should not be left in infested water for extended periods of time. The mussels attach quickly to boat hulls and can affect boat-handling capability, reduce fuel efficiency, and slow speed.
"Unfortunately, there is no feasible means to eradicate zebra mussels from a lake once they have become established," Bolton said. "However, we can take precautions to help prevent the spread of zebra mussels. Probably the most important thing you can do is to wash your boat and flush boat motors with clean water every time you travel to a different lake."
Most zebra mussels are thumbnail size, but can grow up to two inches long. They are usually found in water down to 30 feet deep. They have an elongated, "D"-shaped, thin shell with a black and white stripes. Unlike native mussels that burrow in sand and gravel, zebra mussels spend their adult lives attached to objects such as rocks, metal, wood, plastic, concrete, aquatic plants, and even the shells of native mussels and crayfish.

If you think you may have found a zebra mussel, contact one of the following offices: Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's northeast region office at (918) 683-1031 Corps of Engineers Tulsa District Office at (918) 669-7411.
Outdoor Calendar brimming with activities
No reason to be bored this summer, there is a myriad of adventures just waiting for adventurous Oklahomans.
The Outdoor Calendar at www.wildlifedepartment.com is just the place to find upcoming summer activities and events. Visitors to the Wildlife Department's official Web site can find out what outdoor-related activities are going on in their area. From noodling tournaments to bat watches to hunter education classes, a wide range of events is awaiting your discovery.
As the summer months move quickly toward fall there are several hunter education courses scheduled in many communities such as Owasso, Noble, Midwest City, and many other towns along the way.
A trip to northwest Oklahoma can be a fun summertime family destination. Travelers can spend an afternoon at Alabaster Caverns State Park and an evening participating in the popular Selman Bat Cave Watches. Thousands of bats pour out of the cave each evening to begin their nightly foray for insects. Participants are also given a natural history presentation from wildlife experts.
Teachers and other educators can begin preparing for the upcoming year by participating in one of the many Project WILD workshops. The classes, many of which can be taken for college credit, help teachers learn how to bring outdoor lessons into the classroom.
To find out what goes on after dark at the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge near Lawton, The Under of Cover Darkness tours are led by park naturalists and reveal the nocturnal habits of many of refuge inhabitants.
What better way to spend an afternoon than wetting a line at your favorite fishing hole. Youngsters can learn all about fishing by attending one of the many fishing clinics held throughout the state. The free clinics teach kids how to cast a rod and reel, tie fishing knots, fish identification and kids also get a chance to try out their new skills after the clinic.
To get more details about all these activities and more, log onto wildlifedepartment.com. If you have an upcoming outdoor event you would like considered for the Outdoor Calendar call Kristen Gillman at (405) 521-2085.
Ducks Unlimited supports Hunter Education program
Ducks Unlimited is not only supporting duck hunters in Oklahoma, they are supporting all sportsmen. Recently, the Oklahoma Chapter of Ducks Unlimited donated 20 BB guns to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Hunter Education program.
"Ducks Unlimited is proud to partner with the Hunter Education program," said Herb Gunter, Oklahoma Greenwing chairman. "We hope this donation will help bring a new generation of youngsters into the sport of hunting."
The BB guns will give participants in hunter education classes the opportunity to get out of the classroom, and have a hands-on experience in handling a rifle safely. The donation was made possible through the support of local Ducks Unlimited chapters across the state, specifically the Greenwings program. The Greenwing program is designed for youngsters under the age of 17 and is designed to encourage youth participation in hunting and wetland conservation. The program boasts over 1,200 members statewide.
"The Greenwing program is focused on facilitating youth involvement in conservation and the sport of hunting," said Gunter. "We think this donation is a great match for what we are trying to do."
Ducks Unlimited conserves, restores, and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people. DU is the world's largest private, non-profit, waterfowl and wetland conservation organization with more than 1 million supporters in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Since its inception in 1937, DU has conserved more than 9.4 million acres of waterfowl habitat throughout North America. DU supporters have raised nearly $1.6 billion for conservation since 1937.
For more information about Ducks Unlimited, call 1-800-45DUCKS or visit the web site at www.ducks.org.
Blue River is one of southern Oklahoma's top destinations
Between I-40 and the Red River there is plenty to see and do for Oklahomans who love the outdoors. There is a little bit of everything available to summer travelers, from the cypress swamps of McCurtain County to the wind-swept Wichita Mountains. However, you would be hard-pressed to tell Sue Robins that there is a better relaxation destination than the Blue River Public Hunting and Fishing Area near Tishomingo.
"It is just such a beautiful place," said Sue Robins, director of the Johnston County Chamber of Commerce. "Whether you like to fish, hunt, camp or just take a dip in the river, it's a great spot to bring the family."
Covering more than 3,000, acres the area attracts a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts, from trout fishermen and hunters in the fall and winter to campers and picnickers in the spring and summer. According to Robins, over 100,000 individuals visit the Blue River Public Hunting and Fishing Area each year.
"Folks in Johnston County have been hunting, fishing and relaxing at the Blue River for several generations," said Robins. "We're happy to able to share it with so many others. In fact, the Blue River Public Hunting and Fishing Area is our area's biggest tourist attraction and is an important part of the local economy."
Beginning July 1, non-hunting and non-angling visitors will need a Blue River Conservation Passport for entering or using the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area.
"We feel like the Blue River Conservation Passport will really help to conserve the area's natural beauty," Robins said.
This special use permit will be used to maintain camping locations, upkeep roads and manage fisheries and wildlife habitat. The Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area is one of the top trout fishing destinations in the winter and a favorite outdoor recreation place in the summer.
Residents and non-residents who hold valid annual or lifetime Oklahoma hunting or fishing licenses are exempt from purchasing the passport, which will cost $21. Exemptions will also be allowed for those under 18 years of age, students on educational tours and those participating in organized events sanctioned in advance by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Shortnose gar record broken
The Red River in southern Oklahoma recently yielded a new state record shortnose gar.
Dale Starry of McLoud took the 3-pound, 3.8-ounce fish while bowfishing Thursday, June 12, in the Red River near Lebanon, OK. The fish measured 29.25 inches long and is the new standard in the unrestricted (non rod and line) tackle division.
The record was weighed on certified scales at the Wildlife Department's south central region office in Caddo. The weighing was witnessed by Robert Wichers, fisheries technician for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
For a complete list of record fish and the procedures regarding state record fish consult the "2003 Oklahoma Fishing Guide." If you think you may have hooked a record fish it is important that you weigh the fish on a Oklahoma State Department of Agriculture certified scale and the weight is verified by a Wildlife Department employee.

Bat Watch deadline approaching
Ever wondered what it's like to see and to hear one million flying bats? You'll find out this summer if you attend a Selman Bat Watch in northwestern Oklahoma, sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
With the bat watches limited seating and registration deadline of June 28 approaching, act quickly or be left wondering.
Two nights are already sold out.
The remaining Saturday and Sunday watch dates are filling quickly. Openings are still available for July 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26 and Aug 1. Cost is $8.00 for adults (13+) and $5.00 for youth.
The special Nature at Night evening on Aug. 8 (adults 18 and over only) has four openings left. Cost is $20.
This natural event is not a common occurrence. Large colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats gather in select areas of the southwestern United States during the summer months.
The Selman Bat Cave is the only public viewing site in Oklahoma. Small-group interaction with wildlife biologists and trained volunteers enrich the experience.
Don't miss this opportunity to view the nightly emergence of Mexican free-tailed bats. Check the calendar and make plans to attend.
Pre-registration is required. Call the Wildlife Diversity Program at (405) 424-0099 or visit www.wildlifedepartment.com, click on Watchable Wildlife then Selman Bat Cave to register.
Elk hunt auction deadline drawing near
Hunters have until July 1 to place their bid on the hunt of a lifetime. Hunters have a chance to bid on a fully guided bull elk hunt at Cookson Wildlife Management Area, and at the same time help needy Oklahomans in the process. For the fifth year in a row, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) is auctioning a bull elk hunt, and the proceeds will go to the Department's Hunters Against Hunger program.
Through a sealed bid auction, the hunter with the top bid has successfully harvested a trophy bull for the past four years. Last year's winner took a 6x7 bull. The hunt, which generated over $11,000 last year, is a guided three-day hunt anytime in September, October or November (subject to availability). The broken hills and rugged landscape of Cookson Hills will challenge even the seasoned elk hunter. Archery, muzzleloader or modern rifle equipment may be used. The minimum bid for this year's hunt is $7,500.
Hunters who wish to submit a bid must supply their name, address, day and evening phone numbers with their bid amount on a notarized card or letter. Bids can be dropped off at ODWC headquarters or mailed to Oklahoma Auction Elk Hunt, P.O. Box 53465 Oklahoma City, OK 73152. All bids must be received at ODWC headquarters in Oklahoma City by 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 1. Bidding is open to individuals and organizations. The permit may be transferred one time by the successful bidder, but may not be transferred for financial gain. Payment must be received within 10 days of notification.
"Proceeds from the elk hunt auction will assist the Department's Hunters Against Hunger program," said Alan Peoples, wildlife chief for the Department. "Through a network of statewide food banks that distribute donated venison to local shelters, the program has served meals to thousands of needy Oklahomans."
For additional information about the Hunters Against Hunger program, consult the "2003-2004 Oklahoma Hunting Guide," or log onto the Department's Web site at www.wildlifedepartment.com.
How are the fish biting? Call 1-800-ASK-FISH
Want to know where the fish are biting or where to find a near-by boat ramp or even how to get a fishing license? Oklahoma anglers can simply pick up the phone, call one number and get all the information they need to enjoy a day at the lake or stream.
The 1-800-ASK-FISH hotline, which was created in 1998, operates 24 hours a day providing anglers information on a wide variety of useful information such as weekly fishing reports, where to buy fishing licenses, regulations, boat ramp locations, and other information.
"1-800-ASK-FISH is a great service for both residents and visitors to Oklahoma. It's great to be able to call one number and find out where to fish, what's biting, and how to get your licenses," said Kim Erickson, fisheries chief for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
The 1-800-ASK FISH program is a cooperative effort between the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the American Sportfishing Association and Bass Pro Shops.
Unique Project WILD workshops coming soon
If you have ever considered attending a Project WILD workshop, now is the time.
Project WILD is an award-winning conservation education program that gives state educators training and materials to assist them in teaching students about wildlife and the environment. The exciting curriculum helps teachers and youth leaders teach a wide range of subjects such as math, science, social studies, language arts and expressive arts while teaching about the importance of our environment at the same time.
"The Project WILD curriculum really has something to offer to everyone, from high school biology teachers to elementary art teachers to 4-H and Scout leaders," said Lisa Anderson, Project WILD coordinator for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Although there are Project WILD workshops held throughout the year, there is a trio of unique opportunities coming soon, Anderson added.
"There are some really neat workshops coming up," said Anderson. "If you have never participated in Project WILD, these workshops are a great opportunity to get the activity guide and learn more about Oklahoma's wildlife."
Northeast Oklahoma educators will want to attend a special workshop at the Har-Ber Village in Grove. The workshop will be held Tuesday, July 22 and is set near Grand Lake, one of the most scenic areas of the state. The workshop will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the cost is $10. To register for this workshop, contact Jan Norman at (918) 786-3488.
Those who like to multi-task will want to attend a series of workshops held at Camp DaKaNi in Oklahoma City. Educators can attend a Project Learning Tree (a curriculum focusing on forestry) workshop July 28, a Project WILD workshop July 29 and a Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) workshop July 30. Participants may attend any of the workshops for $10 each but if they sign up for all three, the cost is only $20. To request a registration form for this workshop, contact Lisa Anderson at (405) 990-1292.
A special overnight workshop will be held August 4 & 5 at the Oxley Nature Center in Tulsa. Educators will receive both the Project WILD and Project Learning Tree activity guides, in addition to learning about nocturnal wildlife. The cost is $20. To register for this workshop, contact Lynda Fritts at (918) 669-6649.
Oklahoma Project WILD conducts workshops statewide for educators or anyone who is interested in teaching kids about wildlife. At the workshop, participants receive two activity guides consisting of over 170 hands-on activities. Guides are only available by attending a workshop where participants actually do activities and learn more about Oklahoma's wildlife.
Project WILD is designed for any age and any learning level. Classroom teachers, youth group leaders, naturalists, and park, zoo, and museum educators all will find the curriculum useful. The Oklahoma State Department of Education recognizes Project WILD workshops for professional development credit.
In Oklahoma, Project WILD is sponsored by the Department of Wildlife Conservation and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. The workshop meets professional development credit requirements for teachers and also meets credit requirements for day care center in-services. Since its inception in 1984, over 19,000 educators have been trained in Project WILD.
Educators can learn more about Project WILD and view a list of upcoming workshops by logging onto the Department's official Web site: www.wildlifedepartment.com and clicking on the link for education programs.
New group formed to represent anglers across Oklahoma
Are you an angler concerned about the future of fishing in Oklahoma? Would you like to assist fisheries biologists on special projects across the state? Would you like to help pass fishing on to the next generation?
If your answer is yes to any of the above questions you will be excited to hear about a new fishing organization which has formed with the goal of becoming a strong, unified voice for anglers in the state.
Although still brand new, Oklahoma Anglers Unlimited already has several hundred members and over 40 fishing clubs and tournament trails involved. The non-profit group recently received tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and is now taking applications for individual memberships.
"Our organization is open to all anglers, whether they are bass anglers, crappie anglers or just someone who likes to go pond fishing every once in a while," said Doss Briggs, east central director for Oklahoma Anglers Unlimited.
The organization has a seven-member board of directors, with each member assigned to a specific region in the state.
"There have been a lot of people who have made the effort in establishing this organization to ensure that all anglers, in all parts of Oklahoma are represented so that their concerns and issues will be heard," Briggs said.
According to Briggs, the group's purpose is to enhance fishing opportunities in Oklahoma, whether it be through habitat improvement, fisheries research or building boat ramps.
"The issues that are important to the anglers in the state and to the fisheries resources of Oklahoma are what's important to Oklahoma Anglers Unlimited and that's where we intend to concentrate our efforts," Briggs said.
Fisheries personnel at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation said they were pleased to hear about the establishment of this new grass roots organization.
"We are looking forward to working with Oklahoma Anglers Unlimited," said Kim Erickson, fisheries chief for the Wildlife Department. "It is great that they are working hard to represent all groups of anglers in the state and we feel like this organization has the potential to have a very positive influence on the fisheries resources in the state."
The group has hit the ground running and is already involved with state and federal fisheries officials in a Lake Texoma study on the effects of catch and release largemouth bass fishing, Briggs said.
To learn more about Oklahoma Anglers Unlimited log on to their Web site at www.oauinfo.org There you will find a brief mission statement, downloadable membership form, contact info for district directors and much more. Annual memberships are only $10 and each new member will receive a membership card and an OAU decal for their vehicle.

Marinated and Roasted Vidalia Onion Rings with Parmesan
There's nothing I love more than an ultra-easy recipe that produces a truly memorable dish, and this recipe is definitely one of those. I recently bought a big bag of Vidalia onions as part of a fundraiser, so I've been thinking of ways to use them. After I marinated some onions for the Greek Salad with Marinated Onions and Oregano, I had the idea of marinating and then roasting the onions. If you're a fan of carmelized onions, this dish has that same umami-laden flavor. Next time you're cooking something in the oven, try roasting some marinated sweet onions for a delicious side dish.
Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Spike Seasoning, and dried thyme, and marinate onions for 4 hours or longer.
(Makes 3-4 side dish servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
4 medium-sized Vidalia onions or other types of sweet onions
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. Spike Seasoning
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 cup olive oil
1-2 T freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Irrational originally thought about using airplanes for combat in BioShock: Infinite, studio boss Ken Levine reveals, but the concept of gunfights on a roller-coaster was too good to pass up. See the Skylines in action below:
BioShock: Infinite is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PCs, and the Nintendo Wii U. The game is set for a 2012 release.
Sharkey says: The clips from the game used in the above video are just a snippet from the full gameplay demo Irrational put on at E3. Hopefully this is a sign you'll all get to see what a select few enjoyed at the expo soon.

Just copy archive contents to your application folder.
It will create cache folder in your application folder (make this folder writable!).
It will place extdapi.php, extdcacheprovider.php, extdrouter.php to the libraries folder.
It will place example classes Echo.php, Exception.php, File.php, Time.php to the same folder.
And it will place direct.php to the controllers folder.
Now you can test it:
1. Add a script tag in your main application page for the API:
2. Add provider:Code:<script type="text/javascript" src="<?=base_path()?>direct/api"></script>
3. Now you can call some method, for example Time.get():Code:Ext.Direct.addProvider(Ext.app.REMOTING_API);
Now you can use your own classes:Code:Ext.mits.Time.get(function(provider, response) { Ext.Msg.alert('response', response.result); });
Place them to the libraries folder. Don't forget to make comments before each method of your class. First of all it should have @remotable attribute:
If you use method to submit form, add @formHandler attribute:Code:class Time { /** * @remotable */ public function get(){ return date('m-d-Y H:i:s'); } }
Just see example classes, included in this implementation.Code:/** * @remotable * @formHandler */
To include your own classes replace $api definition in file direct.php with your own:
Classes files should be named accordingly MyClass1.php, MyClass2.php, ...Code:$api->add( array( 'MyClass1', 'MyClass2', ... ) );
If you want to use CodeIgniter object in your classes, just get instance:
P.S. This code doesn't work on Windows platform, because of backslashes in win paths.. something should be updated...PHP Code:
$CI =& get_instance();

Rapper will.i.am has confessed to accidentally ripping off a dance track by house producers Mat Zo and Arty for his new song, "Let's Go."
The Black Eyed Peas frontman's collaboration with Chris Brown debuted online last week and immediately caused a stir after Arty accused the 38 year old of copyright infringement, insisting the song sounds strikingly similar to his tune "Rebound."
Brown distanced himself from the allegations on Twitter.com, and now will.i.am has broken his silence on the controversy during an interview with radio station KISS FM.
Admitting he intended to obtain permission for the project ahead of its release, he explained, "Arty is a dope producer so I wrote this song to 'Rebound' this last year. I got in touch with Arty and showed it to him, did a different version to it 'cause I asked him (to) make it newer 'cause I don't just wanna take your song and rap over it.
"But in a year's time, time's gone by (and) we preferred writing over and using the (original) 'Rebound.' Something happened and the clearance (was never received)… We're fixing it now."

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — At least we have a date now.
July 10, nine days after the NBA's free agency free-for-all begins and the day the league's moratorium on players signing new contracts is lifted, we should know exactly where Dwight Howard is headed.
The Los Angeles Lakers' All-Star center, the top free agent target of the summer, will have his process wrapped up and a decision made between suitors that include the Lakers, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks and others, per Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com:
A source close to the All-Star center told ESPNLosAngeles.com that Howard expects to be ready to choose his team as soon as the NBA's moratorium on new business is lifted July 10.
That information jibed with [Lakers GM Mitch] Kupchak's thinking.
"It's in everybody's best interest, I think, to proceed in a timely fashion," he said. "I don't think it's Dwight's goal to drag it out. Whether he's with us or with another team, everybody this time of year has business to take care of. If he's here, he wants us to know that so we can build around him in this period of free agency, when it moves very quickly, and if he's with somebody else, that team is going to want the same thing.
"If you're Dwight, you would want the same thing as well. You would want to give your team notice as quick as possible so they can make the changes that they need to make to make your team more effective. So I think it's in everybody's best interest to move as quick as possible."
Rumblings that Howard is not likely to return to the Lakers will no doubt intensify as he entertains his other suitors, but Kupchak does not sound like a man who is ready to surrender.
In fact, he's seems far more confident than you'd expect, given the trail of crumbs that suggest Howard isn't particularly fond of Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni and the way he was used in conjunction with Lakers' stars Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol during the team's tumultuous 2012-13 season.
But you'd be confident, too, with a $30 million card in your hand that no one else can play. Kupchak told ESPNLosAngeles.com that the team will continue their measured pursuit, which includes strategically placed billboards around the city encouraging Howard to stick around, in the days and hours leading up to the July 1 open of free agency:
"I don't think anything dramatic is going to take place on June 30 at 9:01 [p.m. PT] regarding Dwight," Kupchak said. "My understanding is there are several other teams that have great interest and he's going to have a process that I understand to be pretty deliberate that he's going to go through, and we'll be involved in that process and we'll see how it plays out."
Howard has already received some backlash from Lakers fans who have taken a good-riddance attitude, but Kupchak said he believes that will change. Howard has already received some backlash from Lakers fans who have taken a good-riddance attitude, but Kupchak said he believes that will change.
"I'm not worried about that," he said. "Kobe's been back for seven or eight years now. What did people think about him? There was a period where Kobe was earning his stripes in Los Angeles. I think when he came back, he had to continue. Here it is, seven, eight or nine years later, and I think that's what would happen with Dwight once he puts his roots down and says, 'This is the place I want to be.'
"I think that's part of the problem. I think the city feels they were renting him for a year. But the reality is he couldn't sign an extension. Financially, the rules provide that he wait until July 1 to get the best deal he could possibly get. It was one of those situations where please tell us you want to be here and please show us you want to be here. But he can't do it until July 1. I think that's part of it. Of course the way the season went didn't help things either."
With the clock formally ticking for Howard's services, you can bet the teams interested in moving him out of California will do what they can to sway him. This is already true for the Mavericks, whose superstar, Dirk Nowitzki, has talked with Howard on his own volition to gauge Howard's interest, writes Dwain Price of the Star-Telegram:
On Monday, Howard will become one of the most coveted unrestricted free agents in NBA history. And the Mavs want to make him their new franchise player and turn their current franchise player, Nowitzki, into their No. 2 option.
It's a philosophy Nowitzki, who turned 35 last week, has easily bought into. That's why he's already had a conversation with Howard about a union in Dallas.
"I reached out to him and told him we'd love to have him," Nowitzki said. "It's not like we call each other every day.
"I didn't write him a letter. We just had a little phone contact. That's about it."
With Howard patrolling the middle for the Mavs, Nowitzki knows he would have an excellent shot at winning another NBA championship before he retires.
"To me, when he's healthy he's the most dominant big man in the league," Nowitzki said of Howard. "He's shown that at the end of the season when he was right what he can still do.
"He can dominate on both ends of the floor if he feels healthy, he can still use his athleticism. He's a beast on both ends of the floor."
"He's the kind of guy you can just get the ball to in the post, and I'll just spread the floor," Nowitzki said. "On the defensive end, he's a guy that can protect the rim and a guy that's obviously a luxury.
"We'd love to have him, but so would all of the other teams with cap room. I'll just wait and see what happens."
The next 12 days should be an interesting ride for all involved, especially for the Lakers and their fans!

What does a surf scoter have in common with a prothonotary warbler and a lesser scaup? They were all types of birds spotted by competitors in the 20th Birding Cup, hosted by Penn State's Shaver's Creek Environmental Center. The Wing Nuts won The Birding Cup by one bird during the awards presentation Saturday (May 2) night at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center after identifying 141 species.
It was the second straight win for Wing Nuts, whose members came from as far away as North Carolina. Overall, competitors identified 189 bird species in the Centre Region in a 24-hour period this weekend. The event continues to grow. Seventeen teams with more than 80 competitors — easily a record — scoured Centre, Huntingdon and surrounding counties for bird species. The Birding Cup is the only annual fundraiser for Shaver's Creek.
Other categories included:
-The County Cup, given to the top team that limited its search to a single county, went to the Common Loons, who identified 140 birds and missed the overall cup by just one species.
-The Potter Mug, awarded to the best novice team in the competition, went to Team Awesome with 95 birds.
-In the category established to recognize the team that identified the most species without using motorized transportation, the Red-rumped Irruptives won The Birding Boot with a total of 138 species identified.
