Video: T.O. takes the field at Nebraska-Minnesota game.
* * *
Shortly after the Nebraska Cornhuskers kicked off their 1997 season, Tom Osborne requested a meeting with university Chancellor James Moeser and Athletic Director Bill Byrne. And one September day, the three met privately around a coffee table in Moeser's office in Canfield Hall.
Dressed in a coat and tie, the football coach swore them both to complete confidentiality. And then he dropped his bombshell.
"I want to retire at the end of this season. This is going to be my last season,'' the 60-year-old Osborne said. "I don't want to make any announcement yet. I want to wait until the end of the season. But the other thing I'm asking you to do is name Frank Solich my successor.''
Tom Osborne was finally ready to let out his most closely held secret. In the midst of one of the greatest runs of success in college football history, with the gray hair only just beginning to push out the red atop his head, he was set to retire.
Moeser and Byrne immediately tried to talk Osborne out of it. He was in the prime of his career, they argued. Even that day, Moeser sensed some reluctance on Osborne's part to step away. But Moeser and Byrne would both recall that Osborne made it clear: He felt duty-bound to step aside now. Because he had made a promise to Frank Solich.
"I don't think Tom wanted to retire,'' Moeser said in an interview earlier this year. "I don't think he was ready to retire. But he felt ethically bound to a promise he had made to Frank. ... He did make it clear, it was a promise to Frank.''
Some 15 years after Osborne's retirement, the secret is finally revealed.
Whenever Tom Osborne has been questioned since 1997 about why he decided to hang up his whistle at the pinnacle of his career, he's always related it to a promise he'd made that he felt obliged to honor — a pledge that he would coach five more years and then step down.
"Unbeatable,'' World-Herald staff writer Henry J. Cordes' new book on Tom Osborne's championship teams, includes:
• A look at Tom Osborne's unique systems, methods and philosophies that formed the foundation of Husker success.
• Inside Tommie Frazier's decision to come to Nebraska — and how close he came to never setting foot in Lincoln.
• How Warren Sapp became the perfect foil on the biggest play in the 1994 national championship game.
• A fresh look at Lawrence Phillips: the man, his rage, his crimes — and why Osborne has never given up on him.
• How a Husker defensive breakdown in the 1995 title game turned into a game-changer for Nebraska.
• The oversight by Osborne that may well have cost Nebraska a national title in 1996.
• What made Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter perhaps the best pair of leaders ever to play at Nebraska.
• Scott Frost's battle for acceptance — not just among Husker fans, but his own teammates.

But he steadfastly refused to say to whom he'd made that rock-solid promise. It was most often speculated that it had been his wife, Nancy. Or perhaps Solich, his longtime loyal assistant. Or to God. But Osborne wasn't saying.
A new book The World-Herald published this fall resolves that mystery and reveals countless other new stories and details about Osborne's final seasons on the Nebraska football sidelines.
"Unbeatable: Tom Osborne and the Greatest Era of Nebraska Football'' tells the back story of Osborne's final five years as coach — a period in which his teams won three national championships and compiled a sterling 60-3 record.
The publication also serves as a bookend to Osborne's career at Nebraska. Just as the book was nearing completion in late October, the 75-year-old Osborne announced he would be retiring after having served the last five years as Nebraska's athletic director.
The book reveals other new aspects of Osborne's retirement from coaching, including this eye-opener: Osborne wasn't even supposed to be on the sideline during 1997, when he capped his 25-year coaching career with his third national championship in four years.
Under the original terms of his pledge to Solich, 1996 was to have been his final year coaching. But Osborne ultimately asked for, and received from Solich, a one-year extension. The reason: He wanted to coach defensive standouts Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter during their final year as Huskers.
Even in a series of interviews this year for the book, Osborne had remained reluctant to say to whom he made the retirement pledge. But after he was read the subsequent accounts of Moeser and Byrne, he finally acknowledged the truth: The promise was to Solich.
"It's pretty well documented,'' he said of his former bosses' recollections. Osborne even seemed a little relieved to be finally freed of the burden.
Osborne could not recall exactly when he made the five-more-years pledge to Solich. But he said its intention was simple: to keep in the Husker fold the man he planned to succeed him. Osborne had long been grooming Solich to follow him, giving the former Husker fullback and longtime running backs coach the title of assistant head coach in 1991.
And Solich had turned down other coaching opportunities in hopes of one day coaching the Huskers.
Barry Alvarez, Solich's good friend and former Husker teammate, in 1990 had offered Solich the chance to join him at Wisconsin as his offensive coordinator.
Under Alvarez, Solich would have been able to draw up the offensive game plan and call the plays. That was something he'd never been able to do under Osborne, who always served as his own offensive coordinator.
It had seemed, going into the final year of the five-year agreement, that the 1996 season would be a great way for Osborne to go out. The Huskers had won back-to-back national championships in 1994 and 1995 and were favorites to make it three in a row.
In the end, the season didn't turn out the way anyone had hoped: A loss to Texas in the inaugural Big 12 title game denied the Huskers a chance to face Florida State in a potential national championship game.
But shortly after the season ended, Wistrom and Peter came to Osborne and told him they had decided to forgo entering the NFL draft to come back for their senior season.
They told him they didn't like how the past season had ended and wanted to come back and take a shot at a third national championship.
That got Osborne to thinking. He admitted to himself he felt a little as they did. He, too, wanted the chance to end this thing right.
And it especially didn't feel right to be jumping ship on two key players who had made their commitment to come back with the expectation Osborne would be there.
Osborne sat down with his coach-in-waiting. "These guys are committed to coming back. I feel I should play out the string with them,'' he recalled telling Solich. "I want to go one more year.''
If Solich had said a deal is a deal, Osborne said, he would have stuck with his retirement plan. But Solich agreed to the request, and that was the only reason Osborne was on the sidelines for the 1997 season.
Of course, Osborne, Peter, Wistrom and the Huskers did go out champions. Nebraska demolished Tennessee in Osborne's final game to win the school's third crystal national title trophy in four years. Peter said in a recent interview he was surprised — and humbled — to hear he and Wistrom had played a role in Osborne coming back to coach a final year.
"It's something to be told that now and to know he believed in us enough to do that,'' he said.
Solich, who still harbors hard feelings about how his tenure at Nebraska ultimately ended, declined to be interviewed for the book.
At the time Osborne got his one-year extension from Solich, Osborne said he also made another promise to Solich: that he wouldn't be coming around again the next year asking for another season. That is what brought Osborne to Moeser's office in September 1997.
Osborne knew from personal experience what it was like to be in coaching limbo like that. Bob Devaney, Osborne's predecessor, had first asked him about succeeding him as Husker coach in the fall of 1969. But winning national championships in 1970 and 1971 had Devaney delaying his retirement plans.
It wasn't until prior to the 1972 season that Devaney finally announced it would be his last. Even then, Osborne said, Devaney at times wavered.
Osborne would delay publicly announcing his own retirement plans until Dec. 10, 1997, just weeks before the Huskers' game with Tennessee. Osborne didn't want to make a big public announcement before the start of the season, believing it would be very distracting to the team and what it was trying to accomplish.
"I wanted it to be business as usual,'' he recalled. "We had Wistrom and Peter who decided to stay and dedicated themselves to win them all. I wanted to give us every chance to do that.''
But by secretly telling his bosses, Osborne figured he would be making it firm and official: 1997 would be his final year.
Even with the extra year tacked on, Osborne found keeping the promise extremely tough. He wasn't ready to just go fishing. He was enjoying the Huskers' recent success as much as anyone. And as the years ran down on his self-imposed deadline, the time had not in the least diminished his love for the game, the process or, especially, his players. He knew all along that it would be extremely tough to lose the daily interactions that brought so much meaning to his life.
Even as he went to Moeser's office that day in 1997, it was hard just thinking about it coming to an end.
"But I also think a promise is a promise,'' he said recently. "You don't go back on your word.''

County needs more than one early voting site
I would like to complain that it is wrong to have only one early voting site open in Johnston County. When more than half the county's population resides in western Johnston, it is unfair to expect disabled and elderly citizens to trek all the way to Smithfield to exercise their constitutional right. I am one of those citizens.
I hope the Johnston County Board of Elections will rethink this and open an early voting site in Clayton or Cleveland. It is the right thing to do.

Edge of Thorns 4 - Pt 7Part 7I should bring Scott up to speed, but I need to keep up the ruse so he doesn't get upset that I didn't say something sooner.Nathan wondered if Raphael would be as good at detecting lies and deception as Alton, and hoped he wasn't. Otherwise, this was going to get very awkward very quickly."Um..." the writer mumbled, trying to look confused. He'd have to play this out if it was going to be believable. "No...?"The angel frowned, as if he hadn't expected that answer at all, eyebrows raised in surprise. "Oh?" He stared, and Nathan shrugged, hoping to throw him off. He turned to his coworker, using Scott's genuine confusion to compliment his act. Scott shook his head too, having no idea what they were talking about. Raphael sighed, cleared his throat and pulled a pair of glasses out of his pocket. "Well, then I suppose we should start seeing about your head..."Nathan went through the examination as normal, answering a few questions about pain and dizziness. Scott sa

"I don't know," he said with a laugh and a shrug, quickly running some ideas through his head. The brief mention of Latin made him grab for a word from his vocabulary in that. "Canis? A sneaky way of calling yourselves bitches without the moral guardians getting up in arms?"Enya immediately burst in giggles, clapping her hands enthusiastically. "On the nose! Susan came up with it, though she'd initially suggested the plural Canes, for that very reason. We went with the singular Canis because we realized people would probably read it as canes and not can-es. Canis sounds more like a band name anyway."Nathan started, surprised and confused. The name of her band had changed, and not only that, of all the names he could have guessed, he actually selected the right one. His shock must've read c
Edge of Thorns 4 - Pt 3Part 3I need to at least be honest about Gula, and maybe I should tell them I know about Alton too. But since they're worried about how I'll handle things, I think I'll play ignorant otherwise.Nathan took a deep breath and nodded. "At least, I think I do," he said first. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she's one of the Seven Deadly Sins, specifically Gluttony."Enya snorted and laughed, shaking her head, though her brother smiled and nodded."Don't know how you figured that one out, but you're on the nose. We'd only gotten so far as figuring out she was the manifestation of a Sin.""He knows Latin, doofus," his twin reminded him with a nudge. "I bet her name gives it away."Nathan couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "Well, it is the Latin word for appetite.""We should have thought to look that up," Scott mumbled, starting to laugh too. "Anyway, we haven't quite finished assessing her threat level yet, but that does help with our notes.""Notes?"It was Enya's turn t

RECIPEBLOGGING: Some other bloggers are always posting recipes. Here's one that I like because it's quick, and good. It's sort of a default option around here in the winter:
Pasta with Tomato, Basil and Chevre sauce
1 lb. pasta, any kind; 1 or 2 large ripe tomatoes; 1/4 cup (good) extra-virgin olive oil; fresh basil leaves (dried will work, but it's not as good); 2 cloves garlic, minced (dried will work, but it's not as good); 4-5 ounces fresh chevre cheese; sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Put the pasta in to boil (I told you this was quick). Then chop the tomatoes into small bits. Combine in the bowl with the other ingredients. Use lots of pepper. The chevre cheese will melt and combine with the ingredients into a wonderful creamy sauce when you add the hot, drained pasta to the bowl. Just toss it a bit and serve. You can substitute or add a lot of ingredients -- I often add some crumbled Feta, for example, and you can use mushrooms or peppers in place of the tomatoes -- and it'll still come out good. The chevre and the basil are the key.
This is from a great cook book called While The Pasta Cooks, which is full of quick and easy pasta recipes that are awfully good. I've changed their recipe just a bit, but it works fine the way they have it, too.
Coming soon: my recipe for Thanksgiving Leg of Lamb.
UPDATE: Where do I get ripe tomatoes in winter, someone asks. At the store! The Fresh Market gets 'em flown in from Chile, I think. The beauty of globalization. . . .

Considerate Communication
There exists today a great need for men and women to cultivate respect for each other across wide distances of belief and behavior and across deep canyons of conflicting agendas. It is impossible to know all that informs our minds and hearts or even to fully understand the context for the trials and choices we each face.
Nevertheless, what would happen to the "corrupt communication" Paul spoke about if our own position included empathy for another's experience first? Fully owning the limits of my own imperfections and rough edges, I plead with you to practice asking this question, with tender regard for another's experience: "What are you thinking?" - W. Craig Zwick, "What Are You Thinking?" Ensign (CR) May 2014

AURORA - Of the 23 patients who arrived at University of Colorado Hospital the night of the theater shooting, only three arrived via ambulance. The rest showed up in private cars or the back seats of police cruisers.
Because of an ongoing gag order, 9News or any other media outlet for that matter cannot ask anyone directly involved in the rescue why an unorthodox method of rescue ruled the night, but it's clear the rescue was instrumental in saving lives.
What is less clear is whether the practice was due to the work of quick-thinking police officers or the result of an emergency response that kept ambulances at bay while an active-shooter investigation continued. Perhaps it's even the result of a combination of the two.
Regardless, whatever happened that night will soon become part of a $250,000 study commissioned by the city to look into its response the night a shooter walked into a theater and killed 12 and injured at least 58 others.
Kim Stuart, the spokesperson for the city of Aurora, bristles at the idea that city employees didn't give it their all that night, but she also acknowledges the need for an outside report to figure out what might be gleaned from the city's response.
"We do after-action reports after many of our incidents," she said on Tuesday. "In this case, it's such a large incident with so many radio transmissions and outside interviews, that it requires the assistance of outside folks."
On Monday, the Aurora City Council gave preliminary approval to hire TriData to conduct the review. It's common practice to hire an outside agency after mass casualty incidents. TriData was used after the shootings at Columbine High School in 1999.
"We think it's a valuable investment to learn what went well that night and perhaps what things we need to look at and change," Stuart said.
The city learned on Tuesday that the gag order in place stills stands for city employees, but the city attorney told 9News he will ask the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office for clarification when it comes to those employees participating in the study.
The study, for example, could be kept secret for as long as the judge keeps the gag order in place. Results aren't expected for at least another six months.
In the meantime, news outlets like 9News will continue to evaluate the only definitive insight available as to what happened that night via recordings made in the dispatch center. Those recordings suggest police officers were initially desperate for more ambulances to respond to the theater.
"I need at least three or four ambulances brought in here," yelled one officer.
"Where are my ambulances at?" said another.
Eventually one officer decided he couldn't wait any longer.
"Do I have permission to start taking some of these victims via car? I've got a whole bunch of people shot out here with no rescue?"
"Yes," responded an officer on the other end. "Load them up, get them in cars and get them out of here."

SABMiller and BII to Provide Professional Qualifications for Employees Working in Licensed Premises (Scotland)
27 July 2009
SABMiller plc has joined forces with BIIAB, the awarding body of BII, the professional body for the licensed retail industry, to offer lifetime qualifications in responsible alcohol retailing to employees at small and medium-sized licensed trade enterprises in Scotland. The 'SABMiller Scholars Programme', launched today, will allow these employees to study for and sit the examination for the BIIAB Scottish Certificate for Licensed Premises Staff (SCLPS), accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).
SABMiller will sponsor 300 candidates in Scotland as part of the initiative. This is a unique opportunity for licensees to get their staff trained and qualified in readiness for the new Licensing (Scotland) 2005 Act which will be implemented from 1 st September. In doing so, it will help licensees to protect their licences and livelihoods. Unlike other training programmes, the scholarships provide a government-approved professional qualification that stays with the candidates throughout their careers.
Commander Simon O'Brien, Association of Chief Police Officers Lead on Alcohol Licensing, said:
"It is good to see SABMiller and BIIAB combining forces to push up standards in the industry. As BIIAB is a professional body with experience and credibility in industry accreditation, this scheme has the Association of Chief Police Officers' support. We would like such thinking to expand so the industry is fully seen as driving attitudes, behaviour and responsible trading towards a real culture change that challenges binge drinking and irresponsible trading by a small minority."
Kristin Wolfe, Head of Alcohol Policy at SABMiller, commented:
"While most large companies offer staff training for those selling alcohol, many smaller shops and pubs simply can't afford this sort of scheme. SABMiller's Scholars Programme will give small and medium-sized enterprises a helping hand towards the achievement of a national qualification for their staff, encouraging a training culture in those businesses and having an important impact on the life of their communities.
"While organisations such as BII positively contribute to better communities, ultimately it is up to each and every drinker to take their responsibility to society and themselves seriously. That said, every contribution to reduce irresponsible drinking is an important one for society."
Cathie Smith, Director of BIIAB, added:
"We are thrilled to partner with SABMiller in this initiative. Achievement of the nationally-accredited SCLPS qualification is one step ahead of basic legal compliance and will contribute significantly to raising standards for professionalism in the industry by creating a pool of qualified staff to meet industry and regulatory need."
Tenants, lessees, freeholders and independent store owners interested in accessing the funds to get their staff qualified for free should contact the QA Department at BIIAB on 01276 684449. Staff working in managed houses or stores will not be eligible to apply.
Notes to editors:
About the qualification
The scholars will be sponsored to access the training plus qualifications charges (including handbook, registration, certification and delivery) for the BIIAB Scottish Certificate for Licensed Premises Staff (SCLPS), a professional qualification which is accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority.
A similar scheme has been launched in England and Wales to provide free training for the BIIAB Level 2 Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing (ARAR), which gives staff an understanding of the fundamentals of the law, helping to lessen the risk of underage sales in licensed premises.

I upgraded my 3G 3.0 phone to 3.1.2 using iTunes, and jailbroke & unlocked using blackra1n. I also installed push fix from Cydia, and now everything works fine (wifi, youtube) except the GPS. When I launch maps, it is pretty fast in finding my location but it does not lock the GPS signal even though I wait long enough time with clear sky.
anybody having the same problem? I have mobilesubtrate installed and I am using SBSetting and few other programs using the mobilesubtrate. Can this be the cause for the issue?

Source Naturals Chem-Defense Peppermint Flavored Sublingual Tablets 90 Tablets Source Naturals Chem-Defense Peppermint Flavored Sublingual is a nutrient blend formulated for persons with chemical sensitivities. Recent scientific research indicates that molybdenum, a trace mineral that activates the enzymes aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase, may provide necessary nutritional support for chemically sensitive individuals. Glutathione (GSH) is a key element of the liver's detoxifying process, and is also is the precursor of glutathione peroxidase, a major free radical-scavenging enzyme. Riboflavin is the precursor for FAD, a coenzyme which recycles used GSH.
Source Naturals Chem Defense The Natural Solution for the Modern Age!Source Naturals' CHEM-DEFENSEis a potent combination of Molybdenum, Glutathione, and Coenzymated B-2, nutrients which research has shown may help break down and dispel harmful chemicals from the body. And CHEM-DEFENSE is sublingual — it dissolves under the tongue so it goes directly into your bloodstream, where it can be delivered to your system, fast.
A Modern ProblemA major problem has hit America in the late 20th century that is more far reaching than most people are aware chemical sensitivity. In fact, some studies indicate that 1 out of 3 Americans may be afflicted with chemical sensitivities. In the past century, modern organic chemistry has synthesized and released into the world an estimated 300,000 xenobiotic (foreign to our normal biology) chemicals. The food processing and food growing industries put an approximate 10,000 xenobiotic chemicals into our food supply alone. These chemicals can be found in common items such as cleaning fluids, drycleaning compounds, glues, cigarette smoke, perfume, building materials and processed foods.
Source Naturals Chem Defense Brings Sublingual Delivery for Maximum BenefitMany nutrients, when taken orally, are never completely absorbed into the bloodstream, or not absorbed at all! Because this formula is in sublingual form, the nutrients in CHEM-DEFENSE are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the blood vessels under the tongue and in the cheeks, assuring maximum bioavailability and benefit. In America today, as foreign chemicals continue to be released into the environment on an uncontrolled basis, people continue to experience chemical sensitivities for which there appears to be no solution. Now there is. Source Naturals CHEM-DEFENSE combines the most bioavailable forms of key antioxidant nutrients that are not only powerful in and of themselves, but work together synergistically to address the problems associated with chemicalsensitivities. As with all of their other products, Source Naturals has taken special care to create a product that is all natural, hypo-allergenic, and sugar free. CHEM-DEFENSE sublingual is available in two delicious flavors natural peppermint, and for people on homeopathic regimens who prefer an alternative to peppermint, natural orange flavor. Let's face it — life in the modern world is a battle for your health. Arm yourself with a powerful weapon: Source Naturals CHEM-DEFENSE.Leaders of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product. Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, Source Naturals evaluates the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provides targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Source Naturals' line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms. Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.
1 to 3 tablets, daily. Place tablet under the tongue and allow to dissolve slowly, altering the position of the tablet to avoid prolonged contact with the same area.

Emerging Market Debt - Quarterly Update
Steve Ellis
Apr 4 2014
51 mins
Since the end of the 2013 year, amid lacklustre EM growth momentum, negative news headlines and weakened FX regimes, the team has maintained its "out-of-consensus" view on EMD risk assets. Our viewpoint has been that EM economies, albeit strained, were not in fully-blown crisis. We have potentially seen the worst of the growth scare and despite ongoing retail mutual fund redemptions markets would stabilise due to large institutional investors remaining invested. Market consensus has swung around to our viewpoint. We now believe that investors should watch for potential recovery in the economies that were hardest hit over the last twelve months. That said, the EMD universe continues to see a significant number of headlines, from Venezuela to Ukraine, Russia and China. This continues to contribute to the cloudiness surrounding EM debt markets.
Steve Ellis is the lead portfolio manager of the investment teams that run the FF-Emerging Market Debt and FF-Emerging Market Local Currency Debt Funds.

Smart Beta for Bonds - Getting Better Risk-Adjusted Returns
Shane Shepherd, Head of Fixed-Income Research at Research Affiliates, LLC
Mar 20 2014
71 mins
In the current low-rate environment, investors have turned to credit portfolios to boost paltry yields. However, new research reveals they are often not properly compensated for the risk they have taken on. A new smart beta strategy index weights a company's debt according to fundamental measures of a company's debt service capacity. The result is a smart beta solution offering a better quality portfolio, lower volatility, and improved Sharpe ratios. In this webinar, Dr. Shane Shepherd will explain how investors can obtain the benefits of an active bond portfolio with a transparent and rules-based strategy that offers downside protection and has low implementation costs.

MSCI Multi-Factor Indexes

May 13 2014

75 mins
A basis for implementing index-based multi-factor strategies - transparently and cost-effectively
Previously only available through active management, Factor Investing has become a widely discussed part of today's investment canon and continues to be a subject of lively discussion among academics, institutional investors, product providers and index providers alike. Extensive empirical research has found positive excess returns from exposure to risk factors (or risk premia) such as value, momentum, low size (or small cap) and low volatility stocks. Now, investors are sharply focused on the practical questions of how to implement exposure to these factors.
In this webcast, MSCI will discuss the findings from the recent research paper and discuss the rationale for factor investing and how indexes can be constructed to reflect factor returns in cost-effective and transparent ways.
Agenda Topics:
* Assessing the role of factor investing in the context of a plan's objectives
* Determining the appropriate factors for the plan
* Choosing an index to capture the selected factors
* Factor performance metrics

The Artifactory plugin includes release management capabilities for Maven and Gradle jobs that use Subversion, Git or Perforce for VCS.
The plugin lets you manually stage a release build, allowing you to:
Staged release builds can later on be promoted or rolled-back, changing their release status in Artifactory and, optionally, moving the build artifacts to a different target repository.
Maven Release Management
Release management with Maven is done entirely by the plugin and executes the Maven build only once.
In case of a failure, the plugin will do its best to rollback the changes (local and committed).
Configuring Maven Jobs
To enable release management in Maven jobs, edit the job configuration and check the "Enable Artifactory release management" checkbox.
Staging a Maven Release Build
Once the release management is enabled, Artifactory release staging link will appear in the left panel (to authorized users).
Clicking on the release staging link will open a new page with configuration options for the release build:
The release staging page displays the last build version (the version is of the root pom and it is taken from the last non-release build).
Promoting a Release Build
After a release build finish successfully it is possible to promote the build. This is not a required step, but very useful if you want to mark the build as released in Artifactory and to move/copy the built artifacts to another repository so the artifacts will be available for the consumers.
Clicking on the link will open the promotion page:
Select the target status (Released or Rolled-Back) of the build and optional comment to display in the build in Artifactory. To move or copy the build artifacts select the target repository.
Gradle Release Management
The release management in Gradle relies on version (and other) properties managed by gradle.properties file. You add all the relevant properties to the release management configuration, and the plugin will read and modify those properties in the gradle.properties file.
Configuring Gradle Jobs
The release management is also available for Gradle build steps in a free style project. To enable Gradle release management, edit the free style job configuration and check "Gradle-Artifactory Integration" and then "Enabled Release Management" checkbox inside the Gradle-Artifactory integration.
Staging a Gradle Release Build
Once the release management is enabled, Artifactory release staging link will appear in the left panel (to authorized users).
The release staging page displays the release and next development properties configured for the job. The values are read from the gradle.properties file and calculation of the release and next integration version is attempted and displayed in the text fields.
Promoting a Release Build
Promotion is same as in Maven.
Configuring Authorization
If you're using matrix based security, you'll have to grant permissions for the release and promote actions.
The plugin adds two permission types:
Working with Subversion
The release management supports Subversion SCM when using one checkout directory.
Working with Git
To work with Git, the Git plugin (version 1.1.10 or later) has to be configured to build one branch AND to checkout to the same local branch. The remote URL should allow Read+Write access.
During the release the plugin will perform the following:
Note that changes will only be committed if changes were made to the files (pom files or gradle.properties)
Working with Perforce
The release management supports Perforce SCM when using one checkout directory.

Is there a specific reason that this feature does not work with CVS? I'm attempting to update our technology stack, and I'm hesitant to throw git in the mix for team buy-in reasons. I may try to implement it myself if I'm not missing some reason it cannot be accomplished.

She's Got the Beat
Being busy high school students, all of the U.S. Under-17 Women's National Team players are involved in some sort of extra-curricular activities. For U.S. midfielder Alex Doll, that requires a crash cymbal, a snare and a hi-hat.
"You hear about the Duke Ellingtons, the Jimmie Luncefords, and the Fletcher Hendersons, but people sometimes forget that jazz was not only built in the minds of the great ones, but on the backs of the ordinary ones."
-- Cab Calloway
U.S. U-17 Alex Doll is one of the ordinary ones. She is the first to admit that. But as a drummer for the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Jazz Band, it doesn't stop her from having a great time pounding the skins.
Doll has been playing drums since she was in elementary school, first just a snare and then moving to a full set in high school. She decided to try out for the BCC Jazz Band because she heard it was fun and just enjoys playing. She made the band and is one of a trio of drummers that also includes her younger brother Jimmy, a 15-year-old freshman, who Doll admits "is better than me."
"I really enjoy playing the gigs," said Doll, a high school junior. "We go to different restaurants and retirement homes, festivals, county fair and street fairs. It's like being on a soccer team, except it's a different group of friends and interests and I enjoy having that part of my high school experience."
The BCC Jazz Band has an excellent reputation in the area and Doll says there are some really good musicians on the squad, which plays swing, Latin and sometimes, a little bit of funk.
When asked if it was more difficult to play soccer or play the drums, Doll gave an answer that in keeping with the tradition and rhythms of jazz was free-flowing.
"It depends on what songs we play and I guess what game I would be playing in," said Doll. "Sometimes soccer is really hard, but sometimes playing jazz is even harder. I mess up a lot. My instructor always gives me this look and I just know it's bad."
Doll doesn't let the missed beats bug her. Like on the soccer field, she's just trying to get better and enjoys the learning process.
"For me, playing drums is about being creative and doing different kind of fills," said Doll. "But because I don't listen to jazz enough, I don't have that many ideas. It's like soccer, the more you watch great players, the more ideas you get on the field."
Doll's musical tastes run more towards John Mayer, Corrine Bailey Ray, Jack Johnson, the Script and Tristan Prettyman, but when she grabs her sticks, she likes the Latin beats.
"I like Latin a lot," she said. "I like the feel of it, and I like playing all the beats and all the different Latin fills you can do."
Still, she won't be a music major in college. She has verbally committed to Stanford for the Fall of 2011 and admits that her strengths lie more in science and math. And on the field, Doll's goals revolve more around playing in a Women's World Cup than in Carnegie Hall.
"As a drummer, you are very important and a big part of the band because you keep the beat, but you are still sort of in the background," said Doll. "In soccer, all eleven players on the field can help the team win in many different ways at any given time during the game and I really enjoy that teamwork and camaraderie."
There is one problem regarding Doll's future drumming career. She basically got kicked out of the band. With all her travel for soccer and with the U.S. National Team, she was "politely asked" not to return during her senior year. Jimmy will have to keep up the family name. Still, she is planning on continuing her drumming next year (just not with BCC) and wants to perhaps find a small jazz band when she gets Stanford.
So if you happen to be strolling around the Quad at the Stanford campus in a few years and see a young lady, sticks in hand, sitting behind a drum kit wearing a Stanford Soccer t-shirt and grooving to some Latin beats, that'll be Alex.

What is The BRT Standard?
The BRT Standard is the centerpiece of a global effort by leaders in bus transportation design to establish a common definition of bus rapid transit (BRT) and ensure that BRT systems more uniformly deliver world-class passenger experiences, significant economic benefits, and positive environmental impacts. The BRT Standard scoring system was created as a way of protecting the BRT brand and offering recognition to high quality BRT systems around the world. Certifying a BRT corridor as gold, silver, bronze, or basic sets an internationally recognized standard for the current best practice for BRT.
Why was the BRT Standard Created?
Despite the increasing prevalence, prominence and success of BRT, many people remain unaware of the characteristics of the best BRT corridors and their ability to provide levels of service more typically associated with metro and subway systems. This lack of awareness frequently results in desire for rail when BRT is a comparable, more cost-effective and equally elegant solution. The lack of awareness stems partly from the lack of a common definition for BRT. Without a definition, oftentimes, modest improvements to standard bus service are inaccurately labeled as BRT.
The BRT Standard was developed to create a common definition of bus rapid transit and recognize high-quality BRT systems around the world. It also functions as a technical tool to guide and encourage municipalities to consider the key features of the best BRT systems as they move through the design process.
Historically, there has been no common understanding of precisely what constitutes BRT. The lack of a common definition has caused confusion about the concept. The absence of an agreement among planners and engineers has meant that for every new BRT corridor that is world class, dozens of bus corridors opened that were incorrectly labeled BRT. The absence of any sort of quality control has made it possible for modest bus system improvements to be branded as BRT, leading to some backlash about BRT. Modest incremental improvements, while beneficial to bus passengers, are often not the most cost-effective solution, and they certainly do not add up to the fundamental change needed to shift the travel paradigm from a disbursed pattern of private automobile travel to bus-based mass transit.
BRT also plays an important role in the global effort to reduce transport sector emissions. As emissions from private motor vehicle use grow, shifting these trips onto public transit by improving the quality and reach of BRT becomes critical. Establishing a quality standard for BRT not only ensures that better projects are built, but that transport sector emissions are reduced. Certifying a BRT corridor as gold, silver, bronze, or basic sets an internationally-recognized standard for what is BRT and what is best practice in BRT. The elements that receive points in The BRT Standard have been evaluated in a wide variety of contexts. When present, they result in consistently improved system performance and have a positive impact on ridership.

4-year-old boy struck, killed by dump truck
One of Elizabethton's busiest intersections came to a standstill Thursday afternoon as emergency personnel worked frantically to save 4-year-old Joshua Holston, who was struck and killed when he stepped into the path of a dump truck.
As distraught onlookers gathered to watch and pray, some, like Shon Blevins and Shirley Pressnell, leapt into action to help save the child. The employees of Pine Ridge Care & Rehabilitation Center were driving by when the accident happened and immediately exited their car and began CPR before emergency personnel arrived, working diligently to save Joshua.
The boy was later pronounced dead at Sycamore Shoals Hospital.

Every now and then we read or hear about outrageous laws dedicated to protect patriarchy, defend rape culture, restrict women's sexuality, or that are just plain discriminatory. We have three examples of such outrageous laws and proposals. One has been overturned (Italy's rape law); one is being considered (Indonesia's motorcycle law); and one continues to be both discriminatory and horribly sexist (Iran's rape law).
The province of Aceh in Indonesia is proposing that women riding behind a man on a motorcycle should no longer be allowed to straddle the bike, since this might "provoke the driver." A woman riding on her own may straddle the bike, but only if she is wearing proper attire. Not only is the law absurd in its own and reminiscent of the days when women had to ride "sidesaddle" on horses, but it also seems that "side saddling" a motorcycle could be a great safety hazard. The proposal also infers that in order for men to not to get "excited" and act on that excitement, women need to control their sexuality, while men are assumed to not be able to–or need to–control theirs.

Hi, I've been reading this forum for more than two months now. I have an 11-1/8" rough-in in my powder room that we're redoing. I did go to a Toto showroom, a "Toto gold" showroom, and I told the sales lady I really wanted a Toto Drake. When she asked what my rough in is, she told me that it will not fit in that space. I am not an experienced plumber if it would need to be squeezed in to fit, I would not know how to cheat space. I saw that many others with a small rough in have been going with the AS Cadet 3, which is what she recommended. I did end up going to my local plumbing supply house, not a big box store, taking the advice of many here. I got a Cadet 3 elongated, right height toilet. I opened it today and looked it over well and here is what I found. In the bottom of the bowl was a blue dye mark. This rubs off and should be okay. I checked and the bowl is level from side to side. From front to back it is a little off level. But when I took a mirror to under the rim, I found that the holes are all different sizes. Is this what others found? I have a few holes that are about 1/2" wide, and most of the others, including directly across from the large ones, are more like 1/16" wide. I don't know which is correct as I never looked under the rims of my old toilets, all pre-1975. Are these holes big enough or will I have flushing problems? I would think that if there are some big holes and some small holes for the flushing design, there would be the same number of each on each side of the toilet. Advice, please. Thanks.

1. making noises as if flicking the corner of a book; like a flicker book. I turned around a number of times to glare but the were oblivious
2. retelling the whole story to the person sat next to them. It was like a delayed time feed
3. coughing really loudly as if trying to bring up a lung. Didnt try to conceal it nor bought a drink/bottle of water in the interval. In fact I think the whole show took place in a consumption ward as the coughing echoed constantly across the auditorium.
I did turn around at the interval to say that there was someone "flicking paper" I didnt know which person it was out of the 6 so only aimed it at the whole group, but it didnt stop them.
"Consumption ward" - that made me laugh but that aside it's a hugely annoying thing, yes we all know that explosive coughs can suddenly take you unaware and you don't have time to stifle it, and people can't help having been ill and saddled with a persistent cough, but most of the time we can easily muffle or stifle it yet so many people don't bother and go for the full lung-busting hacking outburst.
The flick-flick-flick thing is infuriating, I had to stop someone behind me doing this a few years back, they were flicking the corner of their ticket with a fingernail and because of the seating rake it was right in my ear. Other times though I've heard it but been unable to see who it is. It's on the same spectrum of annoyance as plastic cup/water bottle cracking and ice rattling. At the NT, Mrs Backdrifter had to ask the woman behind her to stop rustling her rain mac on her lap - an example of a perfectly friendly exchange, where the woman smiled apologetically and said she'd had no idea she'd been doing it, and tucked the mac under her seat.

Backdrifter, on 14 February 2013 - 10:07 AM, said:
Now that made me laugh too; I'm often concerned with coughing behind that suddenly someone's lung will end up on my shoulder like an octopus out of water struggling to breathe.
Backdrifter, on 14 February 2013 - 10:07 AM, said:
I also think this is often the case as people never tune into their own noise do they? Please don't get me started on ice or crinkling water bottles! Still it's nowhere near as bad as the rather smelly picnic some guy brought into Her Majesty's which was revolting. He was about 6 seats up from me in Stalls A and right behind the poor conductor. I wont go into details as that was posted previously! But you can possible forgive someone not realising their mac was rustling and being apologetic when their attention is drawn to it, but actively bringing in bags of smelly food is more than inconsiderate; bet the orchestra got a right nose full. Warm pasty anyone?
