io-util is a small, scalable Java library for slicing and dicing fixed width tables on disk. The objective is to provide reusable blocks of code for building efficient, custom binary data stores. It allows you to build, search, and maintain a large, externally stored, fixed width, sorted table. The library user specifies the row width (in bytes), a row comparison function (which implicitly defines any given row's key), and an optional delete codec.
Opensort is general purpose sorting software that aims to be a fast and easy solution for the sorting of large or small data-sets and data manipulation in general. It is still in the early stages of development and lacks many of the advanced features its commercial counterparts have. For the moment, it only provides a simple command line interface and a C library other programs can use to cover some basic needs for data sorting.
jPDFAssemble is a Java library to assemble PDF files. It can combine, merge, or split PDF documents, and allows the addition or manipulation of bookmarks. It can save resulting documents to the local filesystem or to an output stream, to be able to serve the documents directly to a client browser when working within a J2EE server. jPDFAssemble is built on top of Qoppa's proprietary PDF technology, so you do not have to install any third party software or drivers. It is also 100% Java, so it is completely platform-independent.
Proview is a PDF editor that allows you to merge and split files; rotate, flip, and scale individual pages or all pages; crop pages; and modify the document information. It can edit encrypted files, and can decrypt and encrypt PDF documents. You can also manage PDF bookmarks, add or remove PDF attachments, and add text and dates to one or more pages. Proview has a simple, clean interface with all functions easily accessible, and it comes with full interactive help.
OpenTBS is a PHP tool that helps you to make OpenOffice and MS Office documents using templates. You first design your template using OpenOffice or MS Office, and then OpenTBS merges it with data that you supply from PHP code and databases. It has facilities to manage pictures. The resulting documents are saved to file, served for download, or returned as a string. In fact, OpenTBS can merge any OpenDocument files, any OpenXML files, and any XML files compressed in a Zip archive. No extra exe file is required and it makes no temporary files, since all work is done in memory. OpenTBS is based on the TinyButStrong template engine.
JDiff is a tool which performs folder recursive comparisons and file comparison based on Myer's minimum set of differences algorithm. Based on this file comparison algorithm, it also provides a 3-way merge, which can run without a graphical interface. JDiff is released as an auto-executable jar file.

Rite Aid Corporation is one of the nation's leading drugstore chains, operating more than 5,000 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia.
I had a horrible experience with this pharmacy. They were never able to get my prescriptions from my doctor. Even when I pointed out to them ahead of time that there was a problem with their system, they would not follow up and it took days to get prescriptions filled. I finally gave up and sent my prescriptions to Wegmans, who has not had any problems with getting them.
Drugstore offers personal-care and household products plus convenient online prescription refills. – In Short
Debuting in 1962 as Thrif D Discount Center in Scranton, Pa., this drugstore chain became known as Rite Aid in 1968, and today is one of the largest in the nation. In addition to a pharmacy, each store carries a wide variety of health-care and household items--from nutritional supplements to cleaning supplies to snack foods. Flu clinics are held at various locations throughout the flu season.

The Fur (& Feather!) Flyer
Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
Staying Happy & Healthy
Meet Brewser, currently in residence at HAWS and available for adoption.
Brewzer is a 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He's wire-haired…and "wired"! This active boy is ready to go, go, GO! Like many members of his breed group, Brewzer is a high-energy dog and quite smart. When properly channeled, his energy could make him a great running partner - or agility or flyball dog. If you're looking for a playmate to keep you active, Brewzer is your boy! If you know and love your terriers, have we got the terrier for you!
(Funny how write-ups on Jack Russells and others of his ilk require the use of many "!!!!!"s.)
A dog like Brewzer illustrates perfectly why HAWS has our Behavior Department, Mod Squad and many volunteer dog walkers. On any given day, our kennel is filled with dogs that don't quite fit the terms "average" or "typical." These dogs may need special attention to keep them in the right state of mind...and to get them ready for their new adoptive homes.
In truth, there may not be such a thing as "average" anymore when it comes to shelter dogs. We see all sizes, breeds, ages and energy levels. Some are comfortable in a kennel environment, some are not so sure. Some have good doggy manners, others need a little work on the basics. And some, like Brewzer, just need more stimulation or enrichment to keep them on an even keel.
Our Mod Squad works with the more challenging adoptables. Our dog-walking volunteers make sure all the animals in our care get out-and-about for exercise. And our staff keeps an ever-close eye to make sure our residents are happy, healthy and ready to go home.
By the way - First Weber Realtors of Lake Country recently held a "Take Your Dog to Work Day" for their employees, raising over $800 for the HAWS cause! A great day was had by all - both human and canine.
Did you know that ANY individual, business or group can do an event for HAWS? Learn how at our website.
TWICE the Fun!
At HAWS we often hear a saying that is popular with cat fans, including many of our cat "cuddlers" volunteers: Cats are like potato chips, you can't have just one.
Sure it is fodder for t-shirts and needlepoint pillows, but there is also much truth to the concept. And most folks who have had cats will agree, 2 is better than 1!
While dogs are more "pack-oriented" by nature and will adopt their humans as their pack, cats are often more independent. (Admit it, if you've ever been near a cat, you've been "dissed" by one...) Cats do, however, enjoy the company of another one of their own kind, and this can make YOUR life better, and easier, as a cat guardian.
One of the plusses of cats: they are great companions for busy people. They sleep alot, so when you aren't home they're not missing you. During your few precious hours at home, though, ANY pet - including a cat - requires attention, exercise and playtime. If you have more than 1 cat, guess who they can play with and cuddle with? Each other! No, this doesn't let you off the hook completely, but it sure helps when you've had a particularly exhausting day.
(Sure, more than 1 cat means more than one litter box, and probably a bigger food dish, but you were cleaning and feeding anyway...)
We have lots of cats and kittens at HAWS, along with a program called "The Buddy System" - adopt 2 for the price of 1 with bonded pairs of adult cats (like Joey and Oliver, pictured at left). Or, if you're ready for some real crazy fun, adopt 1 kitten and get the second at half price!
As long as you're looking for one cat, why not take two?!
By the way - coming up on July 25th, from 11am to 3pm, is the annual HAWS Mini-Golf Outing. Join us at National Golf Center in Big Bend for 18 holes of putting for paws! $12 per person, or $10 + an item from our Wish List. Sponsored by the Friends of HAWS!
Meet Siska!
Since it is the Dog Days of Summer, we'd like you to meet one of our many adoptable dogs at HAWS!
This is Siska. She is a German Shepherd mix who celebrated her 7th birthday in May. This beautiful gal has a long coat which gives her a more shaggy appearance the most of the German Shepherds we're used to seeing.
Siska's story is a bit sad: She was brought to HAWS after her owner died. Other family members were simply unable to care for her, so she found safe haven with us. We were happy to welcome her!
This loyal dog is working with our Mod Squad - the volunteers from our Behavior Department who do special things like Tellington TTouch to help the HAWS residents who need a little extra TLC. Probably because of her age, a shelter environment is a little more disconcerting for Siska, so the Mod Squad daily spends time giving her the reassurance she needs to stay comfortable here while waiting for her new home.
Siska is looking for companionship and love, leisurely walks (when it isn't too warm out!) and a nice quiet place to relax. Stop by any day to meet her!
By the way - this weekend is a BUSY one for HAWS! Our annual Mini-Golf outing is Sunday, July 25th (sponsored by the Friends of HAWS group.) Also, our Mobile Adoption unit will be all over the county, even in the Dousman Derby Days Parade on Sunday. Check us out!
Homecoming - Celebrating our Alumni
With temps flirting with the 90s and the humidity in "very damp" range, it is hard to focus on fall. But that's exactly what we're doing at HAWS:
Our annual fall fundraiser is October 16th. This year, we're having our very own HOMECOMING! Rah!
Tickets will go on sale September 1st, but we need you to get involved already, right now:
Our Homecoming Committee is looking for sponsors for this fun event. Sponsorships include special VIP tickets to the event with early entry and reserved seating, advertising for your company or group, and the great feeling you get when you've helped HAWS help the animals and their people in our community! Get in touch with us by August 4th and you'll be part of our really neat (really, really neat), personalized event invitations that are sent out to 12,500+ friends of the HAWS cause.
It's very easy to get involved: Head on over to our HAWS Homecoming webpage and download the sponsorship info, then send your sponsorship commitment form back to us via fax, snail mail, carrier pigeon (really, we do get plenty of those stopping by our shelter, so why not?!)...or email Jen or Nichole at email@example.com and we'll get you all set. Sponsorships range from $250 - $5000. You can call us for more info, too - 262-542-8851, x107.
HAWS Homecoming will feature the usual great food, auction items, raffle and casino games, but this year we have a few special twists! We'll kick off the evening with our very own Homecoming Parade (you can sponsor a float in that, too, by the way, for $100) and a Homecoming Court of Adoptable Pets from our shelter. You might even be able to take home the King or Queen...
So Join our Team! Show Your Spirit! Become a Sponsor! Rah!
By the way - HAWS fall fundraiser is one of the 2 main events our shelter does annually in support of our animals, services and programs. Your support means the world to us and the animals and people we serve each day. Thank you!

ECU General Assembly accepts anti-draw and dress code rules
From January 1st, 2012 a draw offer before move 40 will be forbidden during official ECU events, and there will be a dress code. This was the main result of the ECU General Assembly, held in Porto Carras, Greece on November 5th, 2011 on the occasion of the 18th European Team Championship. ECU President Silvio Danailov and ECU Board members as well as delegates from 48 countries (members of the European Chess Union) were present at the meeting.
The ECU Board, L-R: Honorary President Boris Kutin, Deputy President Tomasz Sielicki, President Silvio Danailov and Secretary General Sava Stoisavljevic | Photo © ECU
According to the decision made at the extraordinary General Assembly in Aix-les-Bains in March 2011, ECU President Silvio Danailov established committees for the 'Sofia rule', a 'dress code for participants and officials in the ECU competitions' and for 'copyrights on the use of chess games from the ECU competitions'. According to a report on the ECU website,
The important decisions were made concerning the Dress code as well as the rule which states that in the official ECU competitions it will not be possible to offer a draw before the 40th move. The decisions will come into effect starting from January 01, 2012.
The copyrights issue doesn't get further mention in the ECU report, because it wasn't accepted by the General Assembly. Further details were given by Evgeny Bareev at the website of the Russian Chess Federation. Here's a bit of what Colin McGourty translated at WhyChess:
An ECU Commission had prepared suggestions for copyrighting games, but ultimately came to the conclusion that the issue still needs to be worked out by lawyers, as each European country has its own laws that often differ greatly. It was mentioned that another 2-3 years would be needed for that.
Here's our archive for articles about copyright:
- Bulgarian Chess Federation vs. Chessbase: 0-1 (April 15, 2011)
- Bulgarian organizers take Chessbase to court (June 2, 2010)
- Copyright on chess moves – shadows on the wall? (March 3, 2009)
- Copyright on chess games? (April 13, 2007 - in both Dutch and English)
The most recent article reported about the court case won by Chessbase, and lost by, well, Danailov. In May 2010 the Bulgarian Chess Federation, after organizing the Anand-Topalov World Championship match, took Chessbase to court for "violating copyright rules". Chessbase had transmitted the moves of the match live on their Playchess server, without permission of the Bulgarians. However, a court in Berlin rejected all demands of the Bulgarian Chess Federation.

Time to start boycotting ECU events. Dress code, whatever, I like players wearing suits, but telling a player when they can and can't offer draws is BRAVO SIERRA.
2 years 5 months ago
In America the major sports NFL, NBA, and MLB all have dresscodes....but most of their fans are not adolescent fixated shut-ins. I want to see the world champ appearing in tabloid mags with a hot blonde porn star hanging on him....or perhaps getting arrested for "brandishing" a gun outside a strip club a 2 AM....talk about great PR.

So do I have to wear a tie now? Or can I wear a dress instead?
Am I the only one who's getting fed up with these no-draw-before-move-X kind of rules? If you don't want that players aim for a short draw then don't reward them both with 1/2 point.
If both players instead 'earn' zero points for a draw there is no reason to not play on. Problem solved.

If the position will reach a dead draw state (e.g. K vs K), then they will have both zero points. What a genius you are to have points like that. A better way is to let them play for shorter time if the classical game is drawn (e.g., a blitz game or the Armageddon directly to save time).

A draw is better than a loss, so awarding zero points for a draw is nonsense.
Why not accept that the draw is part of the game? If you don't like it watch poker instead. To avoid *short*, or even *pre-arranged* draws is a different matter. This is a question of the players' character, prize money and extra rules like the "Sofia rule".

I guess the European Championship is an official ECU event. It's a Swiss open with amateurs rated 2000 or below on the lower boards - dress code for everyone??
And which one of these two players would be penalized?
And if I and my opponent we decide to play our game under some sort of free license like GPL, Copyleft and so on? I think Copyright in Chess should be allowed but NOT mandatory for all.

Anti-draw si, dress code no! I loved the old days in chess, where it didn't matter if somebody showed up in a rumpled shirt and faded jeans, because THE MATHEMATICS OF THE BOARD ARE ALL THAT MATTER. If you make the right moves, who cares even if you look like a monkey?
Even in chess the liberals are taking over!. When I play a game of chess,its between me and my opponent,if we want a draw its our decision NOT some politician!!. A dress code ?, insane!!!!.

Dress-code? That's revolutionary!
I'm sure they needed many extensive meetings and debates for this highly important matter. I'm very glad they are spending time on it, that's exactly what this commitee should be there for! For next year I propose to discuss the colors of the ties (in a conference hall in a very expensive hotel of course).
Going by all the short draws I've seen in the current European Team Championship, most of which probably came about due to a desire for extra rest days by one or both players and a lack of confidence by the other or both players (if you don't want to play because you're afraid of your opponent perhaps you should just resign instead), and my personal lack of interest in such passive draws, I find having to actually PLAY the games you're SUPPOSED TO PLAY (for 40 moves, anyway) much better. It's all good and well to let amateurs draw whenever they please, but events like this surely are funded in large part by the expectation that real games will be played that interest the audience (whoever that may be). Perhaps many in that audience don't care about getting only half as many interesting games as there otherwise might be, but I personally do care. If you're a professional you should play, should you not? Perhaps better incentives (such as some money for each win a player achieves) would also help.

The ECU's official dress code is to follow this man:
The next ECU meeting's agenda is to force all participants to dance like this man before the start of each game:
Somebody should have proposed an anti-Danailov code instead.

This iz a very light revolution: they try to make a heaven in the hole of the chicken. Classical chess must be banned and replaced by random chess, at least in an incremental way.

Actually a dresscode makes pretty much sense for anything aiming to be professional, or so it seems to me. Can anyone provide me with some arguments why to bash this so much without any reasoning? Just curious...
I would like to know the contents of this dress code. Bareev on whychess.org says no more than: 'from now on chess players will be asked to dress neat and tidily'. That doesn't sound too bad.
There is an extensive article (in Dutch) on chess and dress on http://maxeuwe.nl/columns/kleding.html. Two arguments there that can make you look differently on dress codes in general:
- T-shirts with political messages can disturb your opponent (even when you're right). The famous example is the Gulko-shirt that IGM Van der Wiel once wore against USSR opponents.
- Sponsor names can conflict with the interests of tournament organizers. For instance, Tata organizers wouldn't be pleased with a participant advocating U.S. Steel on his shirt during their tournament.
By the way, quoting Dutch representative Hamers in this article, there seems to be no intention to force players to wear a tie in ECU-events.
Anyone has a text of this dress code?
What's the big deal about the dress code? Name a single professional sport (other than chess) where this is not required. (At least for the top level events.)
>> God forbid we should dress neatly and tidily.
"Actually a dresscode makes pretty much sense for anything aiming to be professional, or so it seems to me. Can anyone provide me with some arguments why to bash this so much without any reasoning? Just curious.."
As far as I'm concerned, I'm not opposed to dress code because I wouldn't want to see players dressed "neatly and tidily". I am against it because dressing appropriately is not a rule to be enforced, but rather a matter of good manners. It simply goes without saying that players should show up in proper and clean clothing, and when you think about it, it's actually quite rare to see a player failing to do so. When good manners and etiquette become an object of explicit regulation, bureaucracy triumphs over common sense. And I'm afraid the dress code is just a comic side of the problem. Banishing draws before move 40 stems from the same illusion, i.e. that playing exciting chess could be incited by the regulation. The only thing we'll get from this nonsense is a few more awkwardly clothed players and a lot of bad games, won over trivial mistakes in drawn positions.

1- What willl be the penalty for not following the dress code?
2- Who will have the responsibility of deciding whether a player is or is not following the dress code?

The last person in the world to lecture any one on what is "professional" is Silvio Danailov, the author of toiletgate.

1. Dress codes can be abused on both sides. Income is also a factor in these thingss so care should always be taken. Requiring Anand to pay for a suit is very different than requiring a poor country's players who scrape together funds to fly to an event pay for one.
2. Copyrighting chess moves is basically impossible. It would also require copyright of all text descriptions of sporting events as well. Newspaper, television reports, blogs all would be effected. How would you describe a brilliant move in chess other than with a game score?

I welcome dress codes. I demand short dresses wwith plunging necklines for all attractive 20-something, single female chessplayers.
Is there any professional sport where the players can where whatever they please?
I think a dress code is good for the promotion of the great sport of chess.

A dress code makes the pitch to sponsors more attractive. A sponsor who is putting up money for a chess tournament would prefer to have well-dressed players. It adds to the class and prestige, and "image" of the event. The sponsor is probably prefers to be perceived as classy and prestigious itself, so just imagine the winner of a big tournament accepting his trophy unshaven with holes in his jeans and a purple mickey mouse t-shirt. It would make the whole tournament look like a farce or a joke. These are not just random or arbitrary decisions, guys.
If FIDE plan to enforce the dress for success code they should offer to the players some training on how to dress; how to appraise a good fitting suit, how to tie a Tie properly (polyester clip-ons should be forbidden) and how to starch and iron a dress shirt.
Just putting some clean clothes on a chess players back is no guarantee they won't appear on stage looking like a slob or a dork.
I personally like free style... You like wrinkled shirts, bring 'em to the table, you like dred-locks twist one for me, you like mini-skirts bring two or three...
