Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver takes you inside his journey as a contestant on the spring 2012 edition of the ABC reality-competition show "Dancing With the Stars"
One more push for 'Dancing With the Stars' votes
Tomorrow is a big day, Packer Nation! Peta and I are in the finals and we need your help now more than ever. William, Katherine and I are all going to be really close on points from the judges, so it's going to come down to who can get the most votes from the fans. You all have been so incredible all season, I truly cannot thank you enough, but we need everyone to make one final push Monday night.
I know we have what it takes to bring home the Mirror Ball trophy. Two years ago, Steelers fans carried Hines Ward to the title and I know Packer Nation will not be outdone by another fan base. Let's prove why Packer fans are hands down the best in the world.
I thought Peta and I were working overtime before, but that was nothing compared to what we're doing this week. We're putting in 12-hour days — even when we thought we had a move perfected we went over it a few more times. Hopefully all this work pays off and I can get my first 10 from Len!
Monday's show starts at 7 p.m. and is only an hour long, so it's more important than ever to get your votes in right away (you don't have to wait until after I dance). Even though there are only three couples left, everyone gets five votes from each phone line and email address they have. I've heard the phone lines get jammed up later in the show so call (800) 868-3403 right when the show starts and vote. Then go to abc.com and vote some more! Phone lines will be open for an hour after the show ends and online voting can be done until 10 a.m. Tuesday morning.
I need you, Packer Nation! Let's bring the trophy to Titletown! God Bless!

In the Game of Dance Donald Driver Packer receiver gets to play quarterback......... Packer Nation grab that phone or lap top and vote like you never voted before. Donald do your best.. as we know you will.. and bring your A game to the floor.......... Len get out the 10 card.
What a great role model! Good luck Donald and Peta. Also, DD has a darling family!

Joey Eulo was a hungry, brash 9-year-old with no father and an absentee mother. The streets of Ocean City were his home in the early 1980s, and he walked every crack of the island, avoided school, and tried to earn money for food to feed his sister.
Eulo worked odd jobs such as selling newspapers. One day he wandered into Mark Soifer's public relations office at City Hall, and fate wandered into his wayward life.
There, Eulo found the identity he so greatly needed.
"Mark gave me a firm handshake, sat me down and talked to me like I mattered," Eulo said. "He gave me his undivided attention. No one had ever done that for me. I was searching for that attention. He acted as a father figure to me. He believed in me, said I was a smart kid."
Mark Soifer remembers Joey Eulo as an "endearing little boy," always well-mannered and full of bravado and street smarts.
"He was very polite, and it was humorous to see a little kid like that who could take care of himself," Soifer said. "He had practical survival skills, because he had no choice. (The late) Agnes Cox and I helped him out, everyone helped him if they could."
Eulo is 39 now and a college student only eight credits away from a bachelor's degree at The New School in Greenwich Village in New York City. He has a few prestigious film awards under his belt and is getting ready to make a movie based on his childhood in Ocean City: Chasing Shadows. The movie, set in Ocean City, is about a day in the life of Anthony Heavens, who ditches school in search of his own identity and his father.
Learn more about the film on the Chasing Shadows Facebook page
"It's a dark movie—with a glimmer of hope," Eulo said.
The dark images in the movie are those from Eulo's childhood, and they haunt him still. But among the terrible loneliness that framed his childhood, he also remembers vividly the help that Soifer gave him.
"Mark brought me to Stainton's and bought me a brand-new coat," Eulo said. "It was a London Fog jacket, blue-and-white. I remember the label of that jacket so vividly. I remember thinking that it was a strange name for a jacket. He also bought me shoes on a separate occasion, since my shoes were very 'religious,' very 'holey.' He always had something to give me, always."
As a young child, Eulo was undisciplined and unwatched. He ditched school regularly, buying fresh Italian rolls with his lunch money and feeding them to his friends, the seagulls on the Fifth Street jetty. He carried grocery bags for old ladies, often putting half of his earnings in the box at St. Augustine Church and feeding his sister with the other half.
One day he disappeared, and didn't return. Soifer figured he had moved. But that was the time when the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) came and took him away at the age of 11.
"I remember the day DYFS came and took me away. I was across the street from Scrub-A-Dub. Foster care was a controlled environment, tough for a kid like me not used to barriers and rules."
Eulo's first foster care experience was in the summer, and with his olive skin and Italian heritage, his skin darkened quickly.
"I matured quickly, which affected me to my adulthood. My first foster care was in the summer. I got dark from the sun, and was teased about my dark skin."
Even in school, he was not accepted.
"Even the teacher ignored me," Eulo said. "So I threw a chair at her to get her attention and let her know I was there. I was put in special education."
Five years later, when he returned to Ocean City to live with his mother, Soifer helped him once again.
"He got me a job as the Easter Bunny on the Boardwalk. I was 16, after I lived with my dad and came back living with my mom in Ocean City."
The idea Joey had of himself as stupid and worthless carried through to his high school education.
"I attended Ocean City High School from 1989 to 1990. I dropped out before '91. I thought I was a stupid kid."
After a brief stint in the Army, Joey matured and realized that his anger needed to be redirected.
"I had my fair share of potholes. But I knew I had to learn a new way of thinking. I went back to school, got my GED and went to community college. I got my first A in Union County College, and had a 3.98 GPA. I discovered my interest in storytelling."
Joey was inducted into the Honor Society, and made a short film about the Oedipus complex.
"It was all stills with video clips from Ocean City," Eulo said. "It won an American Psychological Association award in 2010."
He gives credit to Mark Soifer as someone who not only provided for his emotional and physical needs, but also his creative ones.
"Even when I go back to see him, he still gives me stuff. He gave me a card with $100 in it. And even though I have a love/hate affair with writing, and even though this story is very painful for me, Mark was my inspiration to write. He was a prolific writer of columns, essays and poems."
Soifer even wrote a story about Eulo titled "The Waif of Ocean City," which Eulo has been unable to find in the archives.
Eulo has made peace with the memory of his father, and with his mother, who lives in Somers Point with his sister.
"She was a young girl, who still had a life and dreams of her own. It was tough on her," Eulo said.
Chasing Shadows is a tough story for Joey Eulo to tell, but an important one. Filming takes place from April 21 to 22 in various Ocean City locales.
The filmmaker is still seeking a few actors, production assistants and grips. This is a volunteer project but you're guaranteed to have fun working with Joey and will gain valuable experience. Call Soifer at 609-525-9300 for information. Email Eulo at firstname.lastname@example.com

Orlando Commissioners Vote to Fund Major League Soccer Stadium
October 7, 2013 | WMFE - City commissioners have voted to make $20 million available for a new soccer stadium in downtown Orlando. The vote Monday clears another hurdle for the minor league Orlando City Soccer Club to go major league.
Orlando City Soccer Club President Phil Rawlins says he's always wanted a major league team for Orlando.
"And we're very very close to doing that. We hope to make that announcement in the next few weeks," he told city commissioners. "Of course, with your support."
The unanimous vote also makes funding available to the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Citrus Bowl, Visit Orlando and Central Florida Sports Commission.
The county commission will vote Oct. 22 on the funding.
Funding for the stadium is contingent on Major League Soccer granting the Orlando City Soccer Club's bid to become a major league team.
The stadium would be built on Church Street two blocks west of the Amway Center.

Former Lieutenant Governor and Oklahoma Sooner quarterback Jack Mildren passed away May 22 after a battle with cancer. He was 58.
Mildren served Oklahoma as lieutenant governor from 1990 to 1994 and then unsuccessfully ran against Frank Keating in the governor's race.
Democrat Leader Danny Morgan said his thoughts were with Mildren's family.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Lieutenant Governor Jack Mildren's family tonight," Morgan, D- Prague, said in a statement. "Oklahoma has lost one its greatest ambassadors tonight. We will always remember his sports heroics, his accomplishments as a public servant and his dedication to his wife and children. Tonight we mourn the loss of a great Oklahoman."
Born and raised in West Texas, Mildren played quarterback for Oklahoma from 1969 to 1971. He was the first Sooner quarterback to play in the "Wishbone" offense. "Stefanie Brickman
Oklahoma women's basketball coach suspended Guard Jenna Plumley indefinitely from the team July 17. Coale's statement to the media was that Plumley's citation earlier that week for allegedly pocketing cosmetics was one event in a chain of happenings that displeased the coach.
"There had been ongoing concerns with Jenna that culminated in a meeting within the last two weeks," Coale said in the statement. "During that meeting a plan was outlined for what our program expected from her. She has not met those expectations. I am concerned for Jenna and want proceed in a way that is in the best interest of her education and our team."
Aug. 1, Oklahoma football coach announced receiver Josh Jarboe was being dismissed from the team.
As a high-school senior, the Georgia native faced weapons charges for allegedly carrying a gun on school property. Late in July, a YouTube video spread virally across the Internet in which Jarboe was rapping lyrics to a song about shooting people.
"We are disappointed in this outcome, but our complete review and this final decision is in the best interest of our program" Stoops said in a statement. "We outlined for Josh the expectations we had for him when he arrived and, unfortunately, those expectations have not been met."
So what is the connection between the two events?
Apparently, our friends at TheLostOgle found one.
Moments after the NBA OKC issued press release this morning detailing the team's 2008-09 schedule, some very savvy surfers at TheLostOgle managed to visit and save a screenshot of what appears to be the Oklahoma City Thunder's schedule.
However, for those who were a day late and a dollar short to nba.com/schedules/?team=thunder did not see what our friends there did:
Subsequent visitors to that URL did not see the Thunder but instead saw a series of different screens including SuperSonics, blank pages, some error pages and finally a page that is nonsensical.
Apparently it is officially unofficial that the team will be the Oklahoma City Thunder. Let the jokes begin.
(Thanks Patrick!)

BLOPS 2 or MW3LordPookums Feb 13, 2013 2:34 PM
Perusing through new and old threads regarding the faults and benefits of this game and past CoD games and recalling statements made by numerous individuals, I am left wondering.....
While most players have noticed some lag in both the past two iterations, there appears to be a disparity between connection, the experience, and each of the two games. What I notice most though is something I find very peculiar.
Players who like BLOPS 2 that they consider one of the better iterations see minimal lag problems in game, and yet when they describe MW3 they mention how horrible and awful their lag experience was in MW3. As a result, they consider MW3 one of the worst CoD games.
Players who liked MW3 moreso, seem to have experienced lesser degrees of the present lag in MW3, and TONS of lag issues in BLOPs 2. So they consider BLOPs 2 one of the worst CoD games.
Now...I don't know if this is entirely a Treyarch vs IW thing. Yes fanboyism does exist...but their seems to be two very large parties whos experiences are almost black and white between these two games. Which got me thinking...
Could the code handling smoothing and latency within BLOPs 2 and MW3 be so different that they somehow managed to come across two distinct playerbases of net infrastructure that their experiences mirror each other. In other words...are the Net provider and infrastructure that allows them their internet experiences so different in areas...that somehow both companies managed to stumble upon two groups, where the specfic net engines do not work well for each of these respective types of players?
Given the basis of net technology I wouldn't think the infrastructure could create such a vastly different experience. I ask this...because I myself had some lag issues in MW3, but it was never as bad as some have made it out to be from my point of view. In fact, when the second patch update arrived in january in MW3 with the updated infection mode, my lag problems almost seemed to cease entirely in MW3(there were still some instances...but rare). I stopped playing well before TU23, but I didn't even need patches up to TU23 to have little trouble.
Meanwhile my experience in BLOPs 2 just seems to get worse and worse with the patches and DLC.
How do others feel? Are your experiences similar? With virtually mirrored instances of lag difficulties? Did you like BLOPs 2 but hate MW3 or vice versa?

by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.
The second most important vote this November 2012 as initially reported in our September 27, 2012 blog (See www.liattorney.com/scales-of-justice.html), was decided by Californians with a resounding "No". That was the outcome of Proposition 37, on whether or not to pass a law requiring that genetically modified foods be labelled as such, in support of the consumer's right to know what is in our food. Had California passed this groundbreaking law safeguarding the health of consumers, it is believed that other states would have followed suit, eventually making it a possible federal law.
Although many find it hard to believe that such a law requiring labeling of genetically modified foods would be voted down by the people, the result appears to be mostly a testimony to the power of money. Forty six million dollars were spent in the opposition's allegedly fraudulent and deceptive campaign, funded by Monsanto, DuPont, Coca Cola, PepsiCo, General Mills and other food and pesticide companies. The alleged fraud and deception was claimed to have been so extensive that it is now the subject of a criminal complaint filed with the FBI.
Proponents of Proposition 37 maintain that despite the defeat, they have achieved a victory in heightened public awareness. They further purport, that this is just the beginning of their campaign and that efforts will continue from state to state until a law is passed.

CHAPEL HILL — WCHL owner Barry Leffler says it was bittersweet to accept a new job in Texas, but the professional and personal opportunity was too great.
Leffler, 50, was hired recently as the new vice president of marketing and strategy for Tenet Healthcare Corp., based in Dallas. Since 2009, he has been the chief executive officer and managing partner of Chapel Hill radio station WCHL, broadcasting at the 1360 AM and 97.9 FM frequencies.
Tenet Healthcare, a Fortune 200 company, operates 77 hospitals nationwide, 176 outpatient centers and Conifer Health Solutions, a business health care subsidiary. The companys 2013 revenues are expected to top $9 billion.
Both his current and future jobs are focused on how to best serve the community, he said. WCHLs purpose is twofold: Help local businesses develop a marketing and growth plan, and tell the communitys stories, good and bad, he said.
Its going to be a great opportunity for me to apply what Ive learned and what Ive experienced, and apply that expertise now in a different area. I think the health care field is exciting, and its certainly going through a metamorphosis right now, Leffler said. As the population ages, health care is becoming even more important in peoples lives and the role technology is playing in the health care industry is exciting, he said.
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt said the news is great for Leffler but its a loss for the community.
Its hard to think about Barry and not think about his enormous contribution to our community through the radio station, he said. Hes had a hand in important issues that developed in the community ... in ways we didnt think was possible.
Lefflers partner Jim Heavner said Leffler is just a wonderful, remarkable man. The stations staff is also sad to see him go, but given Lefflers professional background, Tenet Healthcare made him an offer that is far, far greater than he could hope for here, he said.
It would be foolish for him not to go, Leavner said.
He will buy out Leffler and become the stations majority owner for a third time. Heavner also owns Vilcom Inc., the parent company of WCHL and Chapelboro.com. Former Vilcom employee Jan Bolick will lead the station until a permanent replacement is found.
I did not want to decide what to do about a succession plan in a hurry or in private, Heavner said.
Bolick, who came to Chapel Hill as a UNC freshman, is the founder and president of Business Class Inc., which provides businesses with leadership and team-building coaching and workshops. In her 18 years at the Village Companies, Bolick was a sales representative for the Village Advocate and general manager and executive vice president of University Directories.
Chapel Hill focus
Heavner started his career at WCHL in 1961, buying the station from founder and former Chapel Hill Mayor Roland Sandy McClamroch in the 1970s. In 1995, he sold it to Raleigh-based Curtis Media Group, which moved it to the WDNC studios in Durham and gave it a music-only format.
In 2002, Heavner brought the station and its focus back to Chapel Hill. Leffler said a massive ice storm that November showed how important local, real-time news coverage is in times of need.
This community came together in a really difficult time all around WCHL. It was the glue that helped get the community through that very difficult time frame, he said. It was kind of fortuitous, because it really helped put CHL back on the map after Jim brought it back to town.
In 2009, Leffler and other investors bought a minority stake from Heavner. He later bought a majority share and expanded the stations reach with more local news time, the Chapelboro.com website in 2011 and an FM channel in 2012. WCHL also offers local sports coverage.
Chapelboro was updated this year and has grown from 25,000 visitors a month in 2011 to roughly 70,000 today. Leffler said the website was intended to be a digital town square.
A place where people could come and gather and talk about not just the news of the day but all of the other things that are going on in peoples lives, Leffler said.
The best move was building an amazing team that can keep going, he said.
The same people are in place, the programming is going to continue, the steps weve laid out are still there, and weve got a great team of people who are ready to just run with it, he said.
NBC veteran
Leffler started his news career at TV station WSVN in Miami and 14 years working at NBC. He moved to London and then New York, where he was NBCs vice president for retail operations and consumer marketing. During that time, NBCs revenues grew from $2 million to $17 million, and Leffler expanded the NBC Studio Tour and developed the NBC Experience Store and the companys online retail site.
In 2005, he became general manager and president of TV station NBC-17 in Raleigh, leading one of the largest local expansions in the country.
Leffler has received numerous awards for his work, including eight Emmys, two NBC Golden Peacock Awards, and silver and gold Promax Medallions for outstanding promotional efforts.
In the community, Leffler has been an active supporter of many causes, serving last year as chairman of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. He also is a board member with the N.C. Museum of Art and the UNC Health Care Community Advisory Board.
Lefflers wife Donnabeth also had a long career with NBC; they met and married in Miami. She now works as a freelance communications strategist and writer, and is a Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation board member.
She will stay behind with their son until the school year ends. Leffler will spend weekends in town until they move, likely in June.
They didnt expect to leave so soon but will stay in touch, he said.
It really is bittersweet. We love living here, he said. Ive gotten to live in some tremendous places, and we have loved living in Chapel Hill far, far better than all those other places. Some of the best friends weve ever made, we made here.

Tax the 1% Protest
The tax code is rigged for the 1%. Not only do corporations like Bank of America get away with dodging taxes, the millionaire CEOs of these unpatriotic companies get a fat tax refund each year thanks to the Bush tax cuts. But we've had enough, and the 99% is fighting back to make millionaires and corporations pay their fair share.
As millions of people file their taxes on Tax Day, April 17, we're organizing "Tax the 1%" protests to express our outrage that the rich and corporations aren't paying their fair share to help rebuild the economy.
We'll march, rally, and protest at big, tax-dodging banks and corporations and throughout our communities to highlight the disparity in the tax code for the 99% compared to the 1%.
Taxing the 1% is the quickest way to rebuild our economy so that it works for all of us—sign up for an event near you or organize your own by clicking here.

My generation likes to poke fun at the latest group of youngsters for growing up in the Participation Award Era. It's a time when many points are giving for trying and losing as they are for winning.
It usually just serves as a punch line to the joke geezers like me like to crack.
Let me stress the word usually.
My daughter recently participated in a gymnastics meet. There were teams. There were coaches. There were even perfectly coiffed gymnasts in sparkling leotards. But most importantly, there were judges who scored each event on a 10-point scale. Girls would go tumble for tumble spinning toward the gold medal. They would trade perfect dismounts, fly from bars with ease and balance as well as possible on a tiny swath of beam, all reaching for a top score.
It actually resembled a sport!
The competitor in me scribbled the results of those in my daughter's grouping to see where she stood. I cheered with pride at an awesome vault where the landing was stuck and felt her disappointment when momentum carried her off that darned beam. This wasn't going to be a participation medal event, but rather a fight to hoist trophies!
Once the dust settled, the points were tallied, the podiums were put in place, and the medals were unfurled. They even lined the girls up by how they placed. I'm fine with recognizing all the participants – they deserved it, but here's where I come to the good news/bad news portion of this column:
The good news is that my daughter won five medals. You might even think that's great news! The bad news is that every girl won five medals. It might be better to say they received five medals because clearly winning wasn't a priority for the event organizers.
To make things worse, all of the medals were exactly the same. The gymnast who did the best got the same five medals as the person who did the worst. It is almost like the meet planners got a call from Big Lots the week before to liquidate 500 medals that had just arrived on a wayward boat from China.
It doesn't just cheapen the experience for the spectators, it cheapens it for the participants, too. Whether it is 20 years from now or 20 days, my daughter won't have any clue where she placed or which event it even was that she placed in.
Truth be told, it wasn't one of her better meets, but we'll never know that once I throw away the program I wrote the score in. It will be henceforth known as the Irmo 5 Medal Invitational, and it is proof positive that the Participation Award Era is alive and well.

Python Data Persistence using MySQL
Among other merits, Python is an ideal language for writing server-side scripts, allowing you to integrate interactive behavior with HTML. Persisting dynamic content to an underlying database is fairly straightforward. By installing an appropriate Python DB module, you get the ability to interact with the database of choice from within Python code, moving your application data in and out of the underlying persistent store.
This article by Yuli Vasiliev will walk you through the process of building a simple Python application that interacts with a MySQL database. In a nutshell, the application picks up some live data from a web site and then persists it to an underlying MySQL database.Read Python Data Persistence using MySQL in full
Manual, Generic, and Ordered Tests using Visual Studio 2008
It is not always possible to conduct the automated tests. There are situations where we may need the manual tests. Manual testing is a document or a text file, which contains a set of steps for the tester to follow. Manual testing can be conducted in between automated tests or anywhere between a series of different tests. For example, after some sets of automated tests, we may have to check log files or configuration information or settings based on the tests executed to continue with the remaining automated tests. We can group all these tests together, order them, and create an ordered test to execute the tests in an order.
In some cases, we may need to execute the tests that are not created by using Visual Studio but required for this current application. In that case, we go for the generic test, which acts as a wrapper for the tests written by some third-party tool and executes that test inside Visual Studio IDE. Once it is wrapped, it is executed normally like any other test inside Visual Studio.
This article by Subashni.S and N Satheesh Kumar talks about the manual, generic, and ordered test types in detail. We will go through the steps to create and manage these tests types in VSTS.Read Manual, Generic, and Ordered Tests using Visual Studio 2008 in full

Visual Studio 2008 Test Types
measured by testing the product based on the requirement, using different testing tools and techniques. Even though we test the product with different tools, the real judgement of the product comes from the testing that simulates the real life situation, for example, by simulating the actual number of users, by simulating the load and simulating the actual production environment, and then by measuring the product. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 provides not only the development environment and code maintenance for application but also different testing features such as Unit test, Load test, Web test, Coded tests, and Ordering tests list.
This article by Subashni.S and N Satheesh Kumar, will give us an understanding of the tools in Visual Studio and an overview of the different types of testing supported by Visual Studio.Read Visual Studio 2008 Test Types in full
ASP.NET Social Networks—Making Friends (Part 2)
In the first part of this article we concentrated on two aspects Problem and Design. We started with the Problem, that is, defining what we need to implement the Friends concept, finding and inviting friends to join our network and developing an alert system. We then moved to Design wherein we actually finalized the requirements. And finally we began with the Solution, that is, actually implementing the features. In this part of the article by Andrew Siemer, we will continue with the solution part.Read ASP.NET Social Networks—Making Friends (Part 2) in full
Basic Dijit Knowledge in Dojo
In this article by Peter Svensson, we will have a look at Dijit or Dojo Widget which is an instance of a Dojo class that lives in the page and usually has a DOM node associated with it. Examples are FloatingPane, Tree, NumberSpinner, and ValidationtextBox.
The basic premise of a Dijit is that you should be able to create any number of widgets of the same type on the same page, regardless of where on the page you choose to put them. Certain Dijits have special requirements, naturally, such as the Layout Containers, which assume that they are surrounding ContentPane Dijits.
In general, Dijits are very versatile and much time has been spent to assure portability and modularization of the Dijit system. Best of all, this is accessible to you as a developer as well.Read Basic Dijit Knowledge in Dojo in full
ASP.NET Social Networks—Making Friends (Part 1)
In this article by Andrew Siemer, we will cover the most important aspect of any community site—making friends. We will divide this article in two parts.

It then moves to Design part where we decide on our requirements, and finally the article reaches Solution part where we begin discussing how to actually implement the features.Read ASP.NET Social Networks—Making Friends (Part 1) in full
Email, Languages, and JFile with Joomla!
Before you begin with coding, there are a few files and folders that have to be created, as well as a query that has to be run. This will not only allow you to build Joomla! components, but will also help you try different features without extensive configuration. The component in this article will be called restaurants.
After installing your basic Joomla! component and making the website ready, there are a few additional features that you can include. One of them came up with the idea of allowing visitors to send reviews to their friends through email. Another could be adding audio reviews in addition to text. We can also begin to look into ways of expanding the market for the software. Internationalizing the component now will make it easy to translate the user interface later.
In the following article by Joseph L. LeBlanc, we will be taking a look at including the following additional features :
- Sending emails
- Managing languages
- Creating translations
- Handling file uploads
Multiple Templates in Django
There are times when we will need to serve the same content in multiple ways whether it's displaying a printable version of a page, creating festive themes for holidays or promotions, or using a different set of templates for mobile devices.
There are a number of approaches to these tasks, and no one is "right". As we will see, the best choice depends on the circumstances specific to your site and users.
In this article by Scott Newman we will:
- Consider the different approaches to tailoring output
- Explore the challenges of serving content to mobile devices
- Create printer-friendly output via URL parameters
ASP.NET Social Networks—Blogs in Fisharoo
In this article by Andrew Siemer, we will talk about the concept of Blogging and how it could be applied to our community site Fisharoo. With search engines, users, and security in mind, Andrew invests a part of this article to address an issue that plagues many dynamic websites—query string data being used to determine page output.
The article starts with the discussion of Problem, that is, what we need to do to achieve success for the article's topic-Blogs so to speak. Then it moves on to Design where we decide on and write down the physical requirements for our feature. And finally comes the Solution part where we discuss how to implement all the requirements for each feature.Read ASP.NET Social Networks—Blogs in Fisharoo in full
Creating the Student Blog in Drupal using Cloning
Blogging in Drupal encompasses a range of learning activities. When incorporated into a course as a regular part of the coursework, blogs provide an incredibly powerful means of tracking student growth. For students who are disorganized (that is, students whose backpacks resemble tumbleweed), the blog can also be an organizational tool. Most importantly, though, blogs create a record of student work that can be accessed at any time. As such, blogs provide a convenient window into both process (how students work) and product (the end results of student work). In this article by Bill Fitzgerald, we will see how to create a student blog.Read Creating the Student Blog in Drupal using Cloning in full

Implementing a Basic HelloWorld WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) Service
SOA is an architectural design pattern by which several guiding principles determine the nature of the design. Basically, SOA states that every component of a system should be a service, and the system should be composed of several loosely-coupled services.WCF is the acronym for Windows Communication Foundation. It is Microsoft's latest technology that enables applications in a distributed environment to communicate with each other.WCF is an umbrella technology that covers ASMX web services, .NET remoting, WSE, Enterprise Service, and System Messaging. It is designed to offer a manageable approach to distributed computing, broad interoperability, and direct support for service orientation. WCF supports many styles of distributed application development by providing a layered architecture. At its base, the WCF channel architecture provides asynchronous, untyped message-passing primitives. Built on top of this base are protocol facilities for secure, reliable, transacted data exchange and a broad choice of transport and encoding options. In this article by Mike Liu, we will implement a basic WCF service from scratch.Read Implementing a Basic HelloWorld WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) Service in full

Podcasting and Images in Drupal
In this article by Bill Fitzgerald we will learn about Podcasting. Podcasting allows you to share audio files over the Internet. In recent years, as podcasting has increased in prominence and popularity, there has been an almost overwhelming amount of information about how to get started with podcasting: the technical requirements, the hardware, the software, and so on.
Sharing images creates a variety of ways for students to get involved in the class. In some classes, such as Photography or other Fine Arts courses, images provide a way for students to showcase their work. In other courses, online image sharing can be used to enhance the curriculum.
In this article, we will focus on cutting through the noise, and setting up your site to work as a podcasting and image sharing platform. This article will break down the technical aspects of publishing audio and images, along with ways of integrating podcasting into your class.Read Podcasting and Images in Drupal in full

Before you can install SimCity you'll need to find the serial number that came with the software. SimCity requires that you enter a unique serial number.
If you've lost your serial number, there is a way to find it as long as SimCity is still installed. You might be able to find your SimCity serial number if you've uninstalled the program but only if the serial number information was left in the Windows Registry.
The SimCity serial number is actually more of a product key than a serial number but as with most software, the terms are usually used interchangeably.
A free product key finder program will automatically search your computer's registry for your SimCity serial number and for product keys and serial numbers for your other software programs.
The product key finder program that I've confirmed will find your SimCity serial number is Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. If it doesn't find your serial number, try one of the other key finder programs that I linked to above and then let me know it didn't work so I can keep this page updated.
Most product key finder programs are designed to find the product keys for operating systems like Windows XP or Windows Vista but some of them find product keys and serial numbers for several other programs too, including SimCity.
Important: You may have come across SimCity keygen programs or other kinds of SimCity cracks but keep in mind that these are not legal ways of obtaining serial numbers or product keys. The only legal way of installing this program is by using a valid SimCity serial number obtained through a legal purchase of the software.

---- — The Andover Baptist Church is celebrating a special Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday — and everyone is invited.
This year marks 50 years since King gave his famous I Have a Dream speech, when 200,000 gathered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to hear King share his dream for the future. He called the gathering "the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation." King delivered his speech 100 years after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation's by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
When members of Andover Baptist Church's congregation gather next week, that will be on their minds.
The predominantly African American church will hold its sixth annual Martin Lurther King Jr. Celebration and Brunch on Monday, Jan. 21, at 11 a.m. The event is free and open to the public, regardless of one's hometown or religious beliefs.
"The theme of our day is all about living the dream," said Denise Wynn, missions ministry chair at the church. "We have a lot of people living the dream today. We have a lot of people inside the congregation who, because of their ancestors, are who they are today."
This marks the sixth year for the event, which church Pastor Lyndon Myers said the church started "as an outreach opportunity for our church, where we can reach out to the community and invite them in."
"There was no Martin Luther King celebration happening in Andover," he said. "I had an idea to use this as an opportunity to put on an event."
The event will feature keynote speaker Chuck Walker Jr., deacon of Good Shepherd Church of God and Christ in Roxbury. It will also include performances by Confirmation, a Boston-based gospel ensemble.
Gospel music performed by Confirmation will also provide a historical note on the day, specifically with a presentation of "Lift Every Voice And Sing," according to David Coleman, Confirmation founder and director of choral music at the Dana Hall School in Wellsley.
The song was written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson in 1899 that is today regarded by many as a kind of African American national anthem, said Coleman. However, "none of the words reference race at all," Coleman said. "It's not on the issue of race. It's on the larger issue of humanity."
The event also features a return to the church's "Soul Food" brunch, which the church is bringing back to life moving to a more mainstream menu for a few years.
A sample menu for the day lists the following items: deep fried turkey, Virginia ham, harmony grits, biscuits, gravy and more.
"When we went away from it, the reports said, 'Good event, but missed the food,'" Wynn said.
"What we're trying to do is give a flavor of us, being a predominantly African American church," Myers added. "We're trying to share a bit of our culture. That's why we started having these traditional foods."
Beyond the menu, the day will serve as a reminder for many and an educational opportunity for others who may not have a full understanding of why Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday.
"It's one of our anchor events," Wynn said. "It's really about a day of service, a day of learning. It's really an entire church effort."

A 28-year-old convicted sex offender has pleaded not guilty to several charges, including sexual assault of an underage girl in York.
Jason Morehead made his pleas Monday in York County District Court. Besides the two counts of sexual assault, Morehead was charged with procuring alcohol for a minor.
Prosecutors say Morehead assaulted the 15-year-old girl at least
twice in July.
Morehead is charged in an unrelated case with felony possession
of a controlled substance and three misdemeanor drug-related counts.
Morehead was convicted of false imprisonment of a minor in June 2005 in Seward County.

Bloomingdale's Frying Pans & Skillets
Every home cook needs at least one good-quality skillet for sauteing vegetables, browning meat, making omelets, and cooking other foods. Frying pans and skillets are often made of stainless steel, copper, or cast iron. The pans' high flared sides prevent oil spills. Nonstick pans make cleanup easier, but their finishes require more delicate care.

A Portage area family of four was left homeless Saturday when fire destroyed their home on Plane Road, about one mile north of Portage, a fire official said.
The family's cat perished in the fire, reported just after 12:30 p.m.
The fire started when grease in a pot caught fire and spread, said Portage fire Chief Jamie Miller.
Firefighters quickly knocked the fire down, but the blaze had a quick head start due to the grease, he said. There is insurance. The Red Cross is helping the family, Miller said.
Volunteers from Lilly, Cresson, Blue Knob, Loretto, Summerhill Borough and Ebensburg responded to the fire.

A Bowie woman is facing charges in a string of copper wire thefts in Anne Arundle County that caused $147,000 in damage to local schools and parks.
Dawn Marie Schofield, 41, of the 12400 block of Keynote Lane in Bowie, has been issued a criminal summons charging her with theft of under $10,000 and destruction of property.
A second suspect, Michael Allen Dunlop, 27, of the 1900 block of Poplar Ridge Road in Pasadena, was charged with theft of under $10,000, burglary and destruction of property. A third suspect died in November, according to a statement from Anne Arundel County police.
Police arrested Dunlop after tracking him from the theft of 300 feet of copper wire, which was reported stolen a few blocks from his residence in Pasadena. Police said the theft was similar in nature to .
Copper wiring from athletic field lights was removed, making them inoperable. The damages to both school and parks has been estimated at $147,000.
In September, five men were arrested and charged with similar copper wire thefts at area schools.
Detectives are still putting together the pieces from the string of crimes, and have not completed their investigation, according to the release.
Anyone with additional information regarding the copper wire thefts is asked to contact Detective Ted Lemaster at 410-222-6145.

New hotline to help tackle adoption need in district
9:00am Sunday 19th January 2014 in Local news By Claire Lomax
A new hotline for families interested in adoption has been set up across Yorkshire and the Humber as regional figures show that an estimated 900 children will require adoptive care during 2014.
The helpline, established by Being Family, will be staffed by volunteers with first-hand experience of the adoption process, allowing them to empathise with those taking the daunting first step in potentially becoming adoptive parents.
Nic Haughton, manager of Leeds-based Being Family, said: "We want potential adopters to be able to talk to qualified members who understand the process and can talk about how life changing it is.
"Our aim is to make the early stages of becoming an adopter much more integrated, so ultimately we increase the number of adopters in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
"We have a significant shortfall of adoptive families available every year, while the number of new children looking for adoptive families continues to grow."
Department for Education figures show there were approximately 6,600 children awaiting adoption across the UK. In the Bradford district, there are 57 children placed in adoptive homes, with a further 80 awaiting adoption.
There are also up to 20 approved families who are in the process of being matched with a child.
A Bradford Council spokesman said there was no waiting list for families interested in adoption, as inquiries, which could now come in via the new helpline, are processed immediately.
"It is very important to us and the children in our care that we have more families to adopt, as this means there is more choice to match the children with the most suitable family," he said.
"The 'Being Family' helpline gives potential adopters a real insight into adoption and the adoption process, resulting in people coming to us having a good understanding of what is involved."
The confidential helpline, on 0300 222 5934, is run from 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Advisers will be available to talk about the process and share experiences on its rewards.

We had a wonderful stay at Alexa's BnB. The room was clean, the view was unbelievable, the breakfasts were delicious, and the company was wonderful - Alexa and the other guests staying while we were there made it feel like you were visiting friends. One of the highlights of our trip. Thanks Alexa!
Everything as published! Lovely cozy room with breathtaking view of the beach, beautiful swimming pool and great relaxed atmosphere!
Great place to relax and enjoy nature: we had a group of howler monkeys very close to our window, lots and lots of birds, etc. It's a little bit apart but it's really worth the trip, I recommend it 100%. Alexa was very kind host aswell, the room was cleaned daily and they have towels for the room, the pool and the beach.
I think is one of the best places in Nosara to stay.
Absolutely Beautiful. Alexa was extremely helpful. Within 5 minutes she was able to have our Nosara adventures arranged. Facilities are great and breakfast was even better. The dirt road was a little bit rough on our 2wd vehicle be manageable. Overall- highly recommended.
Discovering Bella Vista Mar was like finding a precious gem- staying there was what made my experience of Costa Rica a truly relaxing vacation in a beautiful location, nice rooms, and a safe haven. But the true gem was Alexa. She is dedicated to her guests and to the property and it shows. She was gracious and warm to everybody and generously accommodating. I will definitely return to Bella Vista Mar, my experience there is a special memory to me, it felt like a home away from home, especially with the heart felt presence of Alexa and her little helpers.
Es un lugar precioso!! Tanto el Hotel como las habitaciones y la piscina son inmejorables. Alexa cuida todo los detalles posibles y consigue que abandonar Bella Vista mar sea muy difícil
Totalmente recomendable
