Game Description
You've crashed on an alien world, and your ship broke into pieces upon landing. Your goose is pretty much cooked, but as you start looking around, you notice that the plants are...moving! Pikmin puts you in the shoes of a stranded astronaut who must figure out how to communicate with (and eventually command) the intelligent native flora, called Pikmin, in order to survive.

You're under a strict time limit on a planet with 15-minute days, so hurry!

This game can be compared to no other, and it is a great game that is very enjoyable and innovative. Only disappointment is that if you have already played all the way through pikmin on GC, it is identical, but if you haven't, the controls on the wii are much more advanced and efficient, making it w...more

(1952, Christian-Jaque) In a "Louis XV Western" (Pauline Kael), lusty peasant Gérard Philipe, opting for the Seven Years' War when caught in flagrante de haystack, fights and loves his way to King Marcel Herrand's favor, despite a hay rake duel, his own hanging, and Gina Lollobrigida's impressive cleavage, then wins the war by himself. Best Director, Cannes Festival. Approx. 102 min. 35mm.
"You get a sense not only of Philipe's professional training, which clearly honed his skills in choreography and movement, but also of his natural charms. That the actor performs so effortlessly, so casually, is the real magic here." - Desson Thompson, Washington Post
"The production is handsome, solid and bursting with Gallic atmosphere." - Vincent Camby, New York Times

Relaxed Flash: Blitzableiter Checks for Malicious Flash Files
On stimulus from the German Federal Agency for Information Security (BSI), Felix "FX" Lindner of the Phenoelit hacker group investigated the security of Flash object code. The result is a free protection program with the name Blitzableiter ("lightning rod").
Lindner checked into the security model for Adobe's Rich Application Platform and found out that the interpreted Flash object code leaves open many security holes that could lead to problems for users and hosts having Flash content. He discovered that the Flash Player has indeed two virtual machines. The more commonly used older Adobe Virtual Machine (AVM1) actually provides attackers the greatest opportunity because of its multitude of supported, backwards-compatible version formats. The second VM, AVM2, Adobe released as open source under the codename Tamarin, but not too many content providers are currently using it. At least according to Lindner's public presentation at the 26th Congress of the Chaos Computer Club in Berlin.
Lindner, who is a regular attendee at the Chaos congresses, found this two-VM solution a problem in that it leads to complex code that in special cases may lead to errors in the Flash compiler. To protect Flash users from such problems, Lindner, under the Blitzableiter project name, wrote a kind of recompiler that analyzes existing SWF files for embedded ActionScript code and cleans them up, to prevent problem cases with possible vulnerabilities from occurring. The tool may double the code size, but could detect all problem cases in the test set. It let through over 80% of the problem-free code. Because 20% were false positives, Lindner sees room for improvement and set up a subproject for reporting such cases, apologizing for his "limited developer qualifications." Nonetheless, he's offering the software for download under GPLv3.

When it was revealed that the sequel to 'Man of Steel' would actually be 'Batman vs. Superman', fans were both excited and concerned. To some, it sounded like the best thing ever. To others, it seemed like desperation after Superman's epic return didn't do 'The Dark Knight'-sized business.

Looks like Cachie
Tim Lincecum's New Haircut Is Going To Take A Little Getting Used To
Giants pitcher trades hippie hairdo for adult look
Does Tim Lincecum have a court date coming up?
After nurturing the iconic Mitch Kramer coiffure for years, the San Francisco Giants pitcher has adopted a more adult look for the forthcoming season.
Here are two shots of the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner from today's Giants' media day.
Looks like Cachie
Can't pitch worth a darn without smoking the Kind Bud....He needs to toke...
Looks a lot better than the hippy mullet, dude!
He is so much cuter. :)
Huge improvement. He'll look like a human being when he puts on a baseball cap.
Reminds me of Greg Maddox--looking more like a grad student than a top athlete.
I suggest he wear the glasses on the mound like Greg Maddox once did. That's got to be a bit scary to the hitters as they wonder if the guy on the mound can see the plate.
Now if he could only lose his "Dazed And Confused" starts every fourth day........
Perhaps he's returning to his 2007 'do in hopes that his 2007 velocity will return...
It's Clark Kent now pitching
Why are they interviewing Rachel Maddow?
@bob3905 Hitter weren't afraid of getting hit by Maddox's fastball, he only got it up there in low 90s and knew he had impeccable control. How many guys did he hit in his career, three or four? ; )
@DaRealDaveKeder Cuz they are looking for someone to tell them that wealth and success are evil, that any taxation is good, that $16 trillion is only a small pile of debt, and that big government is never big enough.

Oh ya I remember!! I have seen Black Rock Shooter Before!! Sorry I forgot to put her in...T.T
I'm new with this whole vocaloid thing, I'd like to know where they come from.. a TV series, graphic novel...??
I don't think they are from any of those but I think they are computerized voices that sing. So I guess they made names and characters for each voice... I Think I'm not sure exactly
I guess they're a futuristic band that makes music tracks. I've seen albums being sold... and yes, the voices are computerized. The base of Miku's voice is a woman named Saki Fujita, a Japanese voice actress.
Saki Fujita
_____Miku Hatsune_____
Hatsu (初, First), Ne (音, Sound), and Miku (未来, Future)
= the First Sound to the Future

The first copy of, "The Story of Written Wills in North Central West Virginia," written by local author and historian Barbara Smith, was presented to Circuit Judge Alan Moats during a recent lull in Barbour County Courthouse proceedings. The new book is a study of courthouse records in Barbour, Randolph, Harrison and Upshur counties.
"This book began with a casual comment from a friend who wondered about the will of an ancestor," said Smith, who offered to do the research. "This moment of curiosity led to two years of investigation in the record rooms of Barbour and adjacent counties. It confirmed my suspicions that the values and concerns of my own county were present in other communities with a strong focus on family, religion, and land."
Smith's publication covers the history of American laws of succession, changes in the law, the primacy of families, negative provisions, unusual bequests and slavery in north-central West Virginia.

The first copy of, 'The Story of Written Wills in North Central West Virginia,' written by local author and historian Barbara Smith, was presented to Circuit Judge Alan Moats, above, during a recent lull in Barbour County Courthouse proceedings.
Moats said, "Barbara Smith is a county and state treasure, who has done more to preserve our county history than anybody else I know. She has worked tirelessly for the good of our county and state.
"This book is unique," he added, "in that it is written from a perspective most people would never consider. There is much to be learned here. It sets forth those things that are most important to people, whether family, property, religion or personal beliefs. Barbara Smith has captured those elements which teach us about our counties and their occupants."
Smith said, "Judge Moats has been supportive of my historical work ever since the restoration of the Barbour County courthouse and my writing of that story. He has been an exemplary leader and role model in both restoration and historical projects, and in his judicial responsibilities. We are fortunate to have him representing Barbour and neighboring counties."
"The Story of Written Wills in North Central West Virginia" is available from Mountain Treasures, Philippi Public Library, Alderson-Broaddus University Bookstore and the author.

Every year, as the fall TV season looms, culture-watchers start pointing out trends in the new slate of network shows. A not particularly useful exercise, this usually comes across as little more than display behavior that calls attention to the commenter's privileged early access to the shows. This year, the big trend that's been spotted has to do with the rise of the American female and the demise of the American male: there's a spate of new sitcoms featuring potty-mouthed, "strong" young women and limp, barely potty-trained, underemployed young men. (A Wall Street Journal piece in June cited a CBS executive's comment that about twenty producers had pitched series sparked by Hanna Rosin's 2010 Atlantic piece "The End of Men," an examination of the falling fortunes of American males.) But this is more of a phenomenon—whose duration can't be predicted—than a trend. In a couple of months, many of the shows will have been cancelled or will have evolved, at least a little (or, in rare cases, a lot, as happened with "Cougar Town," which started off as a sitcom about a middle-aged woman on the prowl and has become a show about middle-aged friendship), or will have congealed into the kind of junk that isn't worth taking any notice of.
What makes sniffing for trends even more problematic is the fact that networks are in the habit of sending reviewers only one episode of a new show, whether further installments are in the can or not. You can't judge an upcoming season by its pilots, except to say, vaguely, that the season is or isn't promising; and to judge any individual series by its pilot (I've said this before) is like judging a book by its flap copy. Nevertheless, by summertime the Internet is loaded with analyses of TV shows that won't even première for a month or more. Networks may think that they're cleverly controlling the publicity narrative—and, in the sense that they have found a way for their shows to get attention long before they see the light of day, they have—but the strategy is short-sighted. I'd also call it cynical, but in order to make that assessment I'd have to have some confidence that there's intelligence behind it. In almost every network pilot, there is something—or many things—that can justifiably be ridiculed, partly because most shows follow the same conventions when trying to give themselves a stamp. So the tone of pre-season commenting tends to be waggish and dismissive. This is exactly what the networks deserve—it's they who aren't being fair to their shows, not the opinionators. And yet, year in and year out, far from being vexed by the smart-alecks who judge their offerings prematurely, the networks virtually demand not to be taken seriously.
Dramas don't suffer at the hands of the networks in the same way that sitcoms do, and, more important, they don't make us suffer as much. They usually emerge from one person's imagination, take more risks, and have the power to really hook us. We say that we "love" certain sitcoms, but we become "obsessed" with dramas. Two new dramas that may—may—have potential are ABC's "Pan Am" and NBC's "The Playboy Club," even though they can't, by any stretch, be called original. Both are the direct spawn of "Mad Men"—shows set in the early sixties that aim at conveying the changes of the era which led us to where we are now. The new shows are more concerned with hitting their marks and getting the sociology right than with character, but "Pan Am" has a bit of style to it, and a note of darkness, and the formula might just work.
Pan Am is the right airline to use to convey the sweep of decades, because of what it was and because of what it, unfortunately, became. Founded in the nineteen-twenties, it grew to be not just a company with a fleet of airplanes but the very symbol of flight, of the (supposed) romance of international travel. If you flew Pan Am, you weren't being taken somewhere—you were going places. The expansion of commercial routes also opened up a world of opportunity for intrepid women, if they were attractive and unmarried, and—if "Pan Am" has its facts right—younger than thirty-two.
The framing of the show's first episode is more clever than its contents: it opens jauntily, in a daylit airport, with a scene in which a pilot touches his cap to salute a small boy who is looking up at him in wonder, and it concludes with one in which a stewardess turns to smile at a little girl who is looking at her through a window with the same fascination. Voilà—women's liberation is here! But the final image really does have great charm. It's the culmination of a sensational series of shots, set to Bobby Darin's snazzy version of "Mack the Knife," which, of course, could make an image of a wet sock seem dynamic: four stewardesses, in black high heels and trim-fitting uniforms, walk briskly, gracefully, through a terminal in close formation, like a team of thoroughbreds, the camera at first showing us only their locomotive parts—their hips, legs, and feet. When they turn together and head out the door to a waiting plane, we see their faces, smiling and hopeful, as if they were embarking on a great voyage of discovery. The scene may not present any kind of truth about being a stewardess in 1963, but good luck telling that to the little girl in you, who for those few seconds utterly buys this dated, Darin-stoked depiction of freedom and adventure.

Tag Archives: college football bowl season
BBVA Compass Bowl Pick: Pittsburgh vs Mississippi
The BBVA Compass Bowl is one of the last games that will be played this bowl season. It's one of those games where by the timing of it you would assume it is a huge game, but it really isn't. Still, as a bettor there is money to be made in games like this. The Pittsburgh Panthers from the Big East take on the Ole Miss Rebels from the SEC.
Cotton Bowl Pick: Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma
The newest Heisman Trophy winner will be on full display in Cowboys Stadium against a very talented Oklahoma Sooners team. This isn't the BCS Championship game, but it is definitely one of the best bowl matchups of the season. Can Johnny Manziel lead the Aggies to another win or will the annual Heisman bowl game disappointment continue for another season?
Outback Bowl Pick: Michigan vs. South Carolina
The Michigan Wolverines didn't quite have the same success that they had in Brady Hoke's first season as head coach at Michigan. The Wolverines started the season with a big loss to Alabama and ended the regular season with a loss to rival Ohio State. Still, the Wolverines are in a New Year's Day bowl. South Carolina lost to LSU and Florida and swept the rest of their slate. The Gamecocks aren't quite the same without Marcus Lattimore, but this team is still very talented. Let's take a look at this year's Outback Bowl.
Capital One Bowl Pick: Georgia vs Nebraska
Nebraska comes into this game with a 10-3 record, but they can't have much confidence after being thrashed by the Wisconsin Badgers in the Big Ten title game. The Georgia Bulldogs were one play away from being in the BCS Championship Game. Instead, they missed out on the BCS bowls altogether. This game has a lot of interesting little sub plots. Which team will come prepared?
Gator Bowl Pick: Mississippi State vs Northwestern
This game might not get as much attention as most other games, but it has the potential to be one of the tightest games of the day. Mississippi State and Northwestern are two teams that have some weaknesses, but they both play fundamentally sound football. Let's take a closer look at this interesting under the radar matchup.
Chick-fil-A Bowl Pick: LSU vs Clemson
The Chick-fil-A Bowl has developed a reputation over the last few years of being one of the best bowl games before New Year's Day. That continues this year with a matchup between the LSU Tigers and the Clemson Tigers. LSU was here four years ago, and they laid a 38-3 beat down on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets from the ACC. Can LSU beat up on another ACC opponent in this year's Chick-fil-A Bowl?
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl Pick: TCU vs. Michigan State
A lot of this year's bowl games are expected to be high scoring affairs, but TCU and Michigan are both built around their defense. Michigan State was expected to contend for a Big Ten title, but the Spartans finished just 6-6 in the regular season. TCU went 7-5 after joining the Big 12 in the offseason. Let's take a look at this matchup.
Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Pick: Navy vs. Arizona State
Navy and Arizona State will square off in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in late December. Navy is coming off an emotional last-second victory over Army early this month. Arizona State won their final two games of the year, including a win over rival Arizona. The oddsmakers have made the Wildcats a big favorite in this one.
Independence Bowl Pick: Louisiana-Monroe vs. Ohio
Both Louisiana-Monroe and Ohio enter this game with an 8-4 record on the year. This is a matchup of two teams who aren't exactly used to being in bowl games. Louisiana-Monroe will be playing in the first bowl game in program history. The Ohio Bobcats just picked up their first bowl win ever in program history last season. How do these teams match up in this one?
Belk Bowl Pick: Cincinnati vs. Duke
Duke hasn't been in a bowl game since 1995, and the Blue Devils haven't won a bowl game since 1991. The Blue Devils went 6-6 this year, and they'll take on the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Belk Bowl. Duke finished the regular season with four straight losses, while Cincinnati won four of their last five games. Let's take a closer look at this contest.

Hauntingly Beautiful: Frederic Edwin Church's Parthenon Sketch
Home of the mythological goddess Athena, the Parthenon is a hauntingly sacred place where the air is ominously rife with magic. Or, at least, that is the mood evoked in Frederic Edwin Church's (1826-1900) oil sketch of the Parthenon. To create this effect, Church chose to paint the building from below, giving the impression that it looms over the viewer. In reality, this particular view of the Parthenon does not exist, but is rather contrived from composite views and memory. The contrast of red and blue illumination was also almost certainly invented by the artist.

Amy Moore shares recipes for lasagna roll-ups, dessert10:05 am | February 20, 2012
Jams are Amy Moore's favorite thing to make. A school teacher by vocation, Amy spends a lot of time in the kitchen and not only enjoys cooking, but canning and preserving foods.
"My Mom has always cooked and it was something that I grew up with, and I developed a love for it," Amy said, noting that many of her canned jams are sold or given as gifts. She makes everything from tomato jelly to jalapeno jelly. Many of the vegetables and fruits she uses to make her jellies and jams are grown by friends or she buys them at the Farmers Market in Asheville, N.C.
"It's really a treat to go to the farmers market and pick up vegetables and fruits, and then it's a challenge to see what you can do with them when you get home," Amy said. "My mother and dad have a garden each summer, and I grow peppers in my flowerbeds."
Of course, she preserves the produce that she harvests.
"My mother, sister and I do a lot of canning," Amy shared. "We can tomatoes — 12 bushels of them last fall. We use them to make spaghetti sauce and soups."
In addition to the tomatoes, they also can green beans and other vegetables. "If you can put it in a jar and preserve it, we do it," she said.
Amy shared that she always dreamed of having a catering service and a bakery. It's still a dream, but little by little Amy is getting there. "I base what I do on the Mustard Seed principal, which is if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains and make your dreams come true," Amy declared.
In addition to cooking and preserving foods, Amy crochets and cross-stitches. She also enjoys playing the piano and singing. Amy is a member of the choir at Grace Baptist Church, where she and her family attend. Her husband, Bryan Moore, teaches at Elizabethton High School. They are the parents of two children, Zeb, 13, and Sarah, 11, who are students at T.A. Dugger Junior High School. Amy noted that her daughter loves to cook as well.
Amy is sharing her recipe for Toasted Butter Pecan Cake. She shared a sample of this dessert, and it was delicious! She also included a recipe for Pepperoni Lasagna Roll-Ups.
Toasted Butter
Pecan Cake
1-1/4 cups butter, softened
2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
In an iron skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add pecans and cook over medium heat until toasted. Spread on foil to cool. In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and remaining butter. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Add baking powder and salt. Add flour and milk alternately until combined completely. Fold in pecans. Pour into three greased 9-inch round baking pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (2 pounds) confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
For frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until combined completely. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat in enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with pecans. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-16 servings
Pepperoni Lasagna
12 lasagna noodles
3 cups ricotta cheese
2 eggs
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons basil
Pepperoni minis
Spaghetti sauce
Parmesan cheese
Mozzarella cheese
Cook noodles enough so that they are flexible. Drain. Lay flat to dry. Combine ricotta cheese, eggs, oregano and basil. Spread mixture over each noodle to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with pepperoni minis and cheese. Carefully roll up. Place seam-side down in a greased baking pan. Top with spaghetti sauce. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Uncover, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes. Yield: 12 servings .
Great recipe for single servings or prepare ahead meals. For prepare ahead meals: Double or triple the recipe and freeze lasagna roll-ups before adding sauce. Remove desired servings from freezer, add sauce, store in refrigerator until thawed. Bake as directed.

2- Export as ONLY GRADES, to an .XLS file.
3- in Excel, add grades to first e1 item (empty in exported spreadsheet).
4- Import the file back into the gradebook.
--Prod-- the first screen of the import process shows the second e1 columns scores for both the first and second e1 columns in the preview data screen. On completion of the import process, the first e1 column has no grades imported.
--test26 -- the first screen of the import process shows both e1 columns in the structure side of the screen, but does not display the first e1 column (with either set of grades) in the preview data side of the screen. On completion of the import process, the first e1 column has no grades imported.
in test26 and production:
1- setup two items with the same name (e1) in different categories. second e1 item has scores, and first e1 does not.
2- Export as GRADES & STRUCTURE, to an .XLS file.
3- in Excel, add grades to first e1 item (empty in exported spreadsheet).
4- Import the file back into the gradebook.
--Prod-- all grades imported into the proper columns
--test26 -- all grades imported into the proper columns
in the situation where a gradebook has multiple columns with the same name in different categories, grades for the last occurrence of the repeated name are the only ones imported -- they are imported into the proper category item. This occurs in both production and test26, although the two processes/screen-arrangements are different.
Note, since everything works properly when the structure is included in the exported file, the workaround for getting grades imported properly when the same item name is used in multiple categories is to export the GRADES & STRUCTURE version, giving the import process more to work with.
duplicate names or proceed via exporting structure as well. That way they won't end up
with a spreadsheet they cannot import.
what happens now is the values for the first item that are entered in the spreadsheet, are mapped over the second item:
- all the score go into the second item's column
- if the second item has a score, then the second item score is unchanged
- if the second item has no score, then score entered for the first is put in the second column
the order is determined by the order in the item tree
To handle this case I changed the code to push all items that have the same name into the Unassigned category for sorting out later
One suggestion was to change the name of assignements to not conflict (eg, Essay 1 ( 1), Essay (2), ...) ... but this doesn't help to find what category each belongs
"For now let's change the UI that if duplicate names do exist that we warn the user to either change the
duplicate names or proceed via exporting structure as well. That way they won't end up
with a spreadsheet they cannot import."
This seems reasonable too.
As discussed in other import/export related JIRAs and emails the solution to all of this is to include a complete gradebook structure with every export. We just need to figure out how to "hide" the structure for the use cases where user doesn't want to see the structure.

1 – added item named fred to categories exams and homework, 100 points each
2 – graded 1st 4 people for each @ 90 for exams and 80 for homework
3 – exported grades only as xls
4 – graded next 4 for each @ 70 and changed 1st 2 to 60 for each
5 – imported back - @ preview, both freds show in correct category in Lframe
BUT in Rframe, where grades are listed, there is only 1 fred in exams, but with the homework scores
6 – continued w/import, no error message re: items of the same name
7 – homework fred scores are in exams fred and there are NO scores for homework…
so not only are the scores in the wrong item but the previously existing scores are gone
got no message as mentioned above.
quit here as it failed right off the bat
Original work was .5.... this time round was about 4.5
- removed gradebook structure processing from import file so the following are not read from the import file anymore:
gb name, gb category type, grade mode
- the major chnage here is that the gradebookGradeItem object that is used is the existing GB, so new items, changes and comments are added to that
- fixed bug in the handling of importing of no cat gb's (
- refactored some names (minor)
- removed some dead code and unused assignments
site CHE 118C A12-A13 sq11 no categories
1 – exported xls gb changed grades for 1st 5 students item 1 (added .9 to grade), added grades for next students 6-11 (also ending in .9)
2 – imported back to site. it caught my mistake of too high a grade.
grades imported – pass now
3 – check import structure to no cat points nw su11 which also previously failed
4 – exported xls and imported to no cat points nw su11 which has 6 of the same students. got "user not found" popup as expected. grades came in ok EXCEPT that one that was excused on the original site is not on the new one. is this expected?
5 – add new items and import – added new item new item 5-16 [25] and grades to current spreadsheet for 1st 5 students. imported. got error message "there is already an item named …" , closed the window and hit continue. it even thought there was already an item named what I called the NEW item - fail
6 – deleted all items and added another new one second try for new [10] w/scores for 1st 5 students and the item in 5 came in with no scores!!!. - fail
7 – repeat 6 with another item third try for new [50] w/scores for 1st 5 students. correct item shows in preview screen BUT it's the item in 6 that comes in, with correct scores.
(had typo in header, this is following spec)
- farsi item is not matching existing item and then during final step, it is, throwing busniess rule error since it is a 'no cat' gradebook
(after checking this second case, the farsi item appears twice already in the above CHE gradebook (before import) probably due to GRBK-958, this is to spec)
it's Anderson and the excused item on the original site is item 13.
the score is on the new site, it's just not excused.
in adding a new item in #5, I inserted a column to the right of section info,
added a title and [point value] and graded students.
re: item 6 – using the spreadsheet in 5, I deleted all the columns to the right
of section info, added a NEW item title and different point value. at import,
the new item in #5 came in, with no scores.
re: item 7 – using spreadsheet in 6, I gave another NEW name and new point
value. at import, the item in 6 came in, with scores.
I have all the spreadsheets, if you want to create the CHE 118C A12-A13 site
somewhere else and try importing them. log in as mdnasiri.
today, the item from 7 is in and I don't know how it got there? I'm wondering if
there is some sort of delayed action on things here at home between the time I
do them and when they appear on screen. I had similar issues with an extra credit
category a couple of days ago being editable for 10-15 minutes before the extra
credit check box greyed out.
I'l try to reproduce the rest... thanks
All the imported new items I have tried so far following your instructions are correctly importing the items and the scores into no cats and cats gradebooks alike
Let's get Dave to test this to see what he can see
We may be seeing some browser differentials .... So Dave should try FF and IE 8-9
firefox 3.6.17
site PHY 009B A01-A03 FQ 2011
added categories: cat 1 and cat 2
added item to each category with the same name: Item 1
exported xls file with structure
exported xls without structure.
import of xls file with structure properly synchronizes the item scores.
modified scores and added scores (including 1 score over max points) to file without the structure
imported the updated no-structure xls file.
preview of import grades shows:
the item name repeated 4 times in the structure assignment grid
the first grade column is repeated twice in the grade data import preview grid in front of the display of the second input column with the same item name.
the original first item column occurrence (in Cat 1) in the gradebook is updated with the grades from the first input column
the original second item column occurrence (in Cat 2) in the gradebook is updated to have no grades
a new item column occurrence with the same name is created (in the Unassigned category) containing the second input column of grades (that should have been matched to the item in Cat 2.)

scantrons do not seem to have a problem AFAICT
gb version 1.8.0 a6
QA ENVIRONMENT: Win XP with Firefox 3.6.6
QA TASK: GB2 import function: check if grades imported properly from spreadsheet when two categories contain items with the same name
the max points for the first item is set to 100 and the max points for the second is set to 50. two tests.
use export grades only for one file and export grades and structure for the other.
with a combination of students with a score in the first item and none in the second, other students with a score in the second item and none in the first, and a student with a grade in each. export and then import unchanged to see if the correct items are updated. When the no-structure spreadsheet is used, import attempts to put scores from the first item into the second item only for those students who had not been scored in the second item. Since the scores for the first item were too large for the max points in the second item they weren't used. all scores were removed from the first item. QA FAIL
Revisit this in QA with the idea we will not fix any non-structure import issues unless they are scantron or clicker related. Pass this if the only issues you found are with non structure gradebook imports.
On my [redacted site name] site, I tried to delete an item named "Quiz #4"
before uploading a spreadsheet named "quiz #4." Apparently the "delete"
didn't take, because after I uploaded "quiz #4" the other was still there.
When I tried to delete "Quiz #4" again, I got "Unexpected response from
server: 401." I tried deleting "quiz #4" so I could start all over, but I
got the same error.
"quiz #4" is worth 5 points under "Quizzes." "Quiz #4," with the capital
letter, should be deleted.
I don't understand why, when you fill out a gradebook with item names,
uploading spreadsheets into those item names is impossible. Instead you
seem to have to delete the dummy item first. Is there a way around this?
Every quarter I get in trouble.
Thank you,
Duplicates in scantrons seem to be working with flying colors, adding -# to each duplication, but while testing full gradbooks I encountered problems with duplicates. Basically, if you have two items with the same name in a category the second item (in fact it's the last duplicate item) is the only one that will import or update.
EXAMPLE and DETAILS
1. Created scantron item
2. Imported duplicate named scantrol item
3. imported as item name -1 as expected
4. Deleted items
5. Imported again and imported as expected with normal name; ie., scantron_dev, scantron_dev-1, scantron_dev-2, ...
* NOTE: see attached image and Excel doc: Scantron 4.20, scantron_dev.xls
1. Exported a full gradebook
2. Changed added duplicate items
- only last item in category was imported
- other duplicate items were ignored
*NOTE: see attached images and excel doc: XLS 4.20, Final Import 4.20, ANT_160_001_WQ_2012 dup.xlsx
USE CASE (Worst):
1 - Instructor creates several items and grades assignments (assignment-1, assignment-2, assignment-3), in gradebook.
2 - Then adds a new assignment item to the gradebook spreadsheet, accidentally names it the same as an existing item (assignment-1)
3 - Adds grades to the new assignment-1
4 - Upload spreadsheet to the Gradebook
5 - New assignment-1 scores overwrite the existing old assignment-1 scores
6 - There is no error or warning, but the wrong scores are now in item assignment-1
1 (preferred solution) - Halt import of full grade books if duplicate items are found in a category and describe the problem; "Duplicated item names, all item names must be unique. Please change item name(s) and import again.
2 (secondary solution) - Warning message, "Warning, you are importing a grade book with duplicated items names. The last duplicated item will be the only item imported."
This will be in B6
- Points based GB
- Weighted Categories (HW, LAB)

The ATP/WTP mobile app has just realeased the tomorrow's match schedule (local time):National Tennis stadiumNot before 3:00 PM - Maria Sharapova vs. Angelique Kerber
Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Li NaLotus Court 12:30 PM - Victoria Azarenka vs. Romina OprandiNot before 7:00 PM - Carla S. Navarro vs. Marion Bartoli
Maria Sharapova of Russia has advanced to the quarter-finals of the China Open by defeating Polona Hercog of Slovenia 6:0, 6:2.
Now Sharapova will face either Angelica Kerber (Germany) or Carolina Wozniacki (Denmark).
In men's singles, Russia`s Mikhail Youzhny beat Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6:3, 6:3.
Germany's Angelique Kerber made it to the quarterfinals of the China Open tennis tournament in Beijing on Thursday after beating her Danish rival Caroline Wozniacki.
Later this week, Kerber will face Russia's Maria Sharapova in a match that will be the two's fourth in 2012. Earlier this year, Sharapova managed to twice get the better of Kerber.
The China Open' prize money is 4,8 million dollars.
Maria is having an unbelievable performance in the first set against Kerber (no6)... It is perhaps the best set I have seen her play ever in her career... really it was just perfect.I hope she keeps going that strong but the performance in the first set baggel was unreal. Serve was great, returns were better, defense was awesome, offense was unreal.... I dont even know how many winners she hit...and it is not that Kerber was playing bad... Maria was simply in GOD mode...Davai Masha!
Maria wins 6-0 , 3-0 as Kerber retires. Not sure why Kerber retired she didnt seem to have any problems with her movement or whatever but she knows better.What can we say about this match... Paul and I were trying to come up with a match better than what Maria showed tonight ever in her career... in the end we couldnt come up with something.This match was simply put perfection. Maria was too good even by her own standards. This was something freightening to watch. Yes it was scary how good she was today. I know these types of matches dont come often and I dont expect her to play at such a level consistently because it is simply guys....unreal.Best match I have ever seen Maria play, and she did it against a top 10 player the no6 in the world.Amazing stuff, it really cant get any better than that, this set will stay foerver in the books as the best set I witnessed Maria play thus far.
Her Quarter against Justine at the AO 08 was pretty impressive also. That was when Justine was #1 and one a 30 something match win streak.
hmmm i don't know, i need to watch it again
Congrats, Masha!! Through to semis after whipping retired Kerber 6-0. 3-0!! Beat Li or Radwanska and on to win the championship!!
all I can say is that I am SO GLAD I caught the match (though the stupid stream FAILED on me in the last game they played, and only caught it back right when kerber announced she was retiring from the match.)
Maria played SO WELL. I've been SO PROUD all week! Not that I'm not proud everytime she plays, but she is just getting better and better as she said in her interviews! Really hope she keeps up for the next 2 days and it's all good!! Really great so far, really glad she's getting on top of her game right now!
ON TO SEMI'S!!! Supporting, as always ♥
It was such an amazing peformance from Maria, she was up 6-0 3-0 when suddenly Angelique Kerber decided to retire without showing any movement problem or any injury. I woudn't say Kerber acted in an unsporting way, because I'm not sure of it, but in fact, this retirement was really surprising. I didn't understand it and either the Eurosport's commentators. But, Maria worked hard for this lead, it wasn't a bad match from Kerber, I mean she tried what she could, Maria just outplayed her with fantastic returns, serves and consistency even when she had to play under Kerber's agression. Maria made me really proud today. Now let's see who she will face tomorrow Li or Radwanska.
Bravo Maria, is all I can say now!
Maria was fantastic today. Can't think of a better word to describe her level of play, focus and consistency. If she can keep this up and play even better, she will lift the trophy. Bring on the next opponent!
Li Na won against Radwanska 6-4 6-2 and will face Maria Sharapova tomorrow at 3:00 PM local time.In the other semi-final Victoria Azarena is still wating for Navarro or Bartoli.
Looks like she is making eat my words now!!!! Good for you Maria!!! Missed most of the first set, but was still impressed with what I saw. No surprise to me is that Li Na beat Aggie to take her place against Maria tonight. Li and Masha have been having very good matches of late and this will be a beauty too I think. Maria has had a ton of crowd support here so far, but I think that will not be the case in this SF. Maria will have to keep playing like she did yesterday to walk away with the title. Vika has been playing lights too of late, so if Masha wins this thing she will have earned it.
Congratulations Masha! I hope Maria will beat Li and reach final, Li is a very good player and She'll play in her home.but I believe Maria can. Maria lead series 7-4
Yes, It will be really tough match for Maria because She will play at Li Na's home!
Maria should concentrate on her match, just this! She shouldn't pay attention to the people who are at the stadium and supporting Li Na!
Go Go Maria
60 30 ret. Angelique quit when she hurt her foot, but there was nothing wrong with her before then.
I'd thought the Career Slam completed at the RG & the Olympic Medal were about it for this year, but we saw Masha move to a whole new level last night.
I don't expect that to be sustained all the time--not at first, anyway--amd Li Na will be hard to beat in the homeland. But we've seen the future...
I'm getting a little emotional here. I love Masha, who she is & what she's accomplished. But I had not expected or hoped for something new...
Yes Masha has improved her level.
We can say that the one who is going to beat Na Li has a lot of chance to win this tournament.
I think that Masha's coach knows the secret of Na Li because Masha started defeating Na Li the last months with the help of her new coach.
Masha&her coach are creating a new tennis level. It is Interesting
Maria Sharapova
Russia's Yekaterina Makarova and Yelena Vesnina are through to the Women's Doubles finals in Beijing having defeated fellow Russians Maria Kirilenko and Nadezhda Petrova.
The Russian duo will now play against the winner of the game between the Slovenian-Chinese duo Katarina Srebotnik and Zheng Jie and the Spanish-Indian pair Nuria Llagostera-Vives and Sania Mirza.
The tournament's prize fund exceeds $4.8 million.

How are the new toys working out? I thought they were to give you the ability to make a nice hollow ground which would make future sharpening easier and reduce sticking. Was that your thought? Any comments would be appreciated!
I have only played with them.....They work great....no over heating at all

Keeping the character that's lacking
Perhaps this letter may have overtones of sour grapes; however, I am very dismayed with the results from the recent vote to lift restrictions on alcohol sales.
First and foremost, what a sad display of voter apathy. The low turnout speaks volumes about Elizabethtown and how short sighted and indifferent this town has become. This vote was far less about alcohol or bars opening in town and more about revitalizing a downtown district that has languished in a decaying infrastructure and environment.

"Babe Ruth Days"
1947 & 1948
"Saved" Baseball
Babe Ruth, throughout his career, had made important contributions to the Yankees, New York city, and all of professional baseball. In the 1920s, his hitting prowess not only made millions of dollars for the New York Yankee franchise, but also "saved" baseball from national disgrace. The 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal – when players took bribes to throw the World Series – had badly tainted all of baseball. But Babe Ruth, with his home runs and out-sized personality, came along at just the right time. He wasn't the only factor in the revival, certainly, but his power and celebrity helped energize the game, reclaim its respectability, and renew and expand the fan base. In so doing, he helped make baseball more of business. Ruth was also a symbol of American optimism in the go-go 1920s before the Stock Market crash; the sports hero with the big smile and big appetite who seemed to make anything possible. By 1947 and 1948, of course, a lot had changed. WWII and the Great Depression were then in the past. But the fans who came out to give their final cheers for Ruth at Yankee Stadium in 1947 and 1948, were also cheering for the 1920s American optimism and derring-do Ruth stood for, as well as his awesome accomplishments.
George Herman Ruth, born in 1895, had come to baseball via the school of hard knocks. A Baltimore saloonkeeper's son, Ruth had been something of a problem child, and at the age of 7, his parents placed him in St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys for his "incorrigible" behavior. The school was run by Catholic Xaverian brothers, and Ruth spent almost his entire youth there. The school became the place where Ruth – with the help and encouragement of Brother Matthias Boutlier — developed into a promising baseball player. By 1914, he was signed briefly to a minor league team before being sold with others to the Boston Red Sox.
In Boston, the left-handed Ruth became a formidable pitcher as well as a promising hitter. His pitching, in fact, helped Boston win two World Series in 1916 and 1918. He was later converted to an outfielder in Boston so he could play more often, making use of his hitting power. He did not disappoint. In 1919, his last year with Boston before coming to the Yankees, he hit 29 home runs, breaking the existing record. Before that, no one had ever hit more than 25 home runs in one season. News of Ruth's batting feats in Boston spread. Wherever he played, large crowds filled the stands. In the winter of 1919, Boston's owner Harry Frazee, in need of money to finance his business interests on Broadway, sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees for about $100,000 and a $300,000 loan. With the Yankees, Ruth would soon become the dominant player in all of professional baseball and one of the most famous celebrities of the 1920s.
"Small Ball" No More
In the decade preceding the 1920s, baseball was not a game of drama or home runs. Rather, it was a game of singles, bunts and stolen bases; what might be called "small ball" in today's lingo – a game of hustle with batters hitting for direction, not distance. Few players ever hit more than a dozen or so home runs per season prior to 1919. Pitchers dominated, then using the spitball, often aided by tobacco-juice. In those days, only one ball was used for the entire game – a time known as "the dead ball" era. By 1920, some rule changes had come to the game. The spitball was outlawed along with unorthodox pitching deliveries and the ball began to be replaced regularly during a game. One player, in fact, had been killed after being hit in the head with a dirty, darkened ball.
When Ruth began play with the Yankees in 1920, the team then shared the Polo Grounds stadium with the neighboring New York Giants of the National League. On May 1st that year, Ruth hit his first Yankee home run, a ball that left the Polo Grounds. By year's end, Ruth had hit a prodigious 54 home runs, nearly doubling the existing record. No other player that year had hit more than 19 home runs. Ruth also batted for a .376 average with a slugging average of .847 – the latter a record that would stand for 80 years. The Yankees that year also shattered the league's annual attendance mark, drawing 1.3 million fans, breaking the old mark of 900,000 set in 1908. In the following year, 1921, Ruth hit 59 home runs. Only the Philadelphia Phillies – as an entire team – hit more at 64.
A Good Investment
In the Yankee front office, meanwhile, Ruth was proving to be a very good investment. Home receipts more than doubled in each of the years 1920-1922, and the Yankees also appeared in the 1921 and 1922 World Series, producing an additional $150,000 in revenues. The Yankee share of road receipts more than doubled in each of those years as well. In 1923, Ruth continued to excel. He set a career-high batting average of .393 that year and led the major leagues with 41 home runs. The 1923 season also saw the opening of Yankee Stadium, with Ruth hitting the stadium's first home run in the opening game, prompting sportswriter Fred Lieb to nickname the place, "The House That Ruth Built." In 1923, for the third straight time, the Yankees faced the Giants in the World Series. Ruth hit .368 for the series, scored eight runs, and hit three home runs. The Yankees won the series 4 games to 2.
In New York, and on the road, fans were turning out see Ruth in droves. One reporter wrote, "This new fan didn't know where first base was, but he had heard of Babe Ruth and wanted to see him hit a home run. . ." Ruth was also generating a lot of attention with his outsized personality and off-the-field carousing. He had larger-than-life appetites and eventually became one of the enduring personalities of the roaring '20s. The large New York Italian immigrant community gave him the nickname "bambino." To many people, Ruth was more than a baseball player, he was a national icon. Yet some say Ruth never quite grew up as person; at times he could be down right crude. He drank, gambled, scoffed at training rules, and would argue with umpires and abusive fans. Still, New York City proved the perfect place for Ruth – the big star on a big stage, with big crowds and big media coverage. He lived large and earned over $2 million, most of which he spent. Yet Ruth could be very generous and caring, and would go out of his way for some people, and especially for sick children and orphans.
Getting it Back
By December 1925, however, Ruth's high living was beginning to show; he was overweight at 254 pounds, had a high pulse, fat stomach, and was generally out of shape. With the help of fitness coach Artie McGovern, Ruth changed his diet and got back into shape. He also kept McGovern as his trainer. In 1926, Ruth compiled an impressive .372 batting average with 47 home runs and 146 RBIs, leading the Yankees back to the World Series. Though they lost the Series to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games, Ruth hit three home runs in game 4.
Yankee Power
In 1927, the Yankees had built one of the greatest teams of all time, compiling a 110-44 record, sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series. That was the year Ruth hit 60 home runs, a time when teammate Lou Gehrig was also becoming a powerhouse. In addition to his record-setting 60 home runs that year, Ruth also batted .356, drove in 164 runs, and complied a slugging avg of .772 – all impressive baseball feats. In the following year he had 54 home runs. In fact, from 1928 through 1934, Ruth continued to produce at that level, with very good numbers: batting averages of .300 or more every year except 1934, and hitting 40 or more home runs in each of those years except 1933 and 1934 when he hit respectively, 34 and 22 home runs.
In 1930, during spring training in Florida, when Ruth was negotiating for a higher salary – he wanted $100,000 a year, but signed for $80,000 – a reporter pointed out that he was now making a higher salary than President Herbert Hoover. Ruth replied, "I had a better year." By 1935, Ruth's career was coming to an end. The Yankees traded him to the National League's Boston Braves. But Babe Ruth still had one last hurrah left.
The Last Hurrah
On May 25,1935, against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field, the 41-year old Ruth had four hits in the game, a rare feat on its own. But three of Ruth's hits that day were home runs: one in the first inning that went over the right-center field wall; a second in the third inning to deep right field; and a third, monster drive in the ninth inning that the Associated Press then described as "a prodigious clout that carried clear over the right field grandstand, bounded into the street, and rolled into Schenley Park." It was the first baseball ever hit out of Forbes Field. That homer brought a standing ovation for Ruth from the sparse crowd of 10,000 that day as he rounded the bases for his 714th career home run. It would be Ruth's final home run.
In early June 1935, Babe Ruth voluntarily retired from baseball and was released by the Braves. In the years that followed, Ruth did some coaching but never became a manager, which he had always wanted to do. In 1936, when the Baseball Hall of Fame was instituted, Babe Ruth was among the first five players elected, along with Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner. In retirement, Ruth made special appearances, played in occasional exhibition games in the U.S. and abroad, and endorsed a variety of products. He also gave talks on the radio, at orphanages and hospitals, and served as a spokesperson for U.S. War Bonds during World War II. By 1946, however, he had been diagnosed with throat cancer and although treated, doctors could do little to help him. His treatment had ended just a few months before his appearance at Yankee Stadium for the April 1947 Babe Ruth Day celebration. It was apparent to most who saw him that day that Ruth was a sick man. Having lost weight, he was not the robust player most remembered. Still, he was greeted with a great roar of the crowd after the initial convocation by Cardinal Spellman and the introductions by league executives.
"Just before he spoke," explained a New York Times reporter at the ceremony, "Ruth started to cough and it appeared that he might break down because of the thunderous cheers that came his way. But once he started to talk, he was all right, still the champion. It was the many men who surrounded him on the field, players, newspaper and radio persons, who choked up." Ruth's Hall of Fame plaque says he was the "greatest drawing card in history of baseball."Ruth began his speech from the microphone on the field at home plate in a very raspy, painful sounding voice. "Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. You know how bad my voice sounds," he said. "Well, it feels just as bad." He proceeded to talk briefly about the game of baseball and how important it was to keep the youth of the country involved in the game. He then thanked the fans and the earlier speakers for their words of praise, and with a wave to the fans, walked from the field down into the Yankee dugout. Beneath the stands he had a few trying minutes, coughing again, before he wa able to join his wife, daughter, and other friends in a boxed seat to watch the game.
Ruth made his final Yankee Stadium appearance less than a year later on June 13, 1948, at the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. Dressed in his old Yankee uniform that day (see earlier photo, above), Ruth again was honored and his Yankee No. 3 jersey retired from service. The next time he appeared in public, his last, was on July 26th that year for the New York premier of a Hollywood movie, The Babe Ruth Story, with actor William Bendix playing Ruth. Shortly thereafter he was back in the hospital. On Aug 16, 1948, Babe Ruth died of throat cancer. He was 53. For two days Ruth's body lay in state at the entrance to Yankee Stadium where tens of thousands came to pay their last respects. A Requiem Mass was held for Ruth at St. Patrick's Cathedral with Francis Cardinal Spellman presiding. About 6,000 people attended the service, with New York Governor Thomas Dewey, New York Mayor William O'Dwyer, and Boston Mayor James Michael Curley serving as pallbearers.
Impressive Legacy
Babe Ruth left behind a professional baseball legacy that few other players would ever equal. His Hall of Fame plaque says, among other things, that he was the "greatest drawing card in history of baseball." At the time of his death in 1948, Ruth is said to have set or tied 76 baseball records, a number of which have since been overtaken. Yet some of Ruth's achievements stood for decades.
In addition to setting the single-season home run mark in 1927 at 60 — a record that stood for 34 years until Yankee Roger Maris broke it in September 1961 – Ruth was also the first player to hit respectively more that 30, 40, and 50 home runs in one season. His career home run record of 714 wasn't broken until Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves surpassed it in 1974. And Ruth was surprisingly durable too, considering his living-large habits. He played more than 20 years in the big leagues. Along with his home runs, he put in more seasons, had more hits, more extra-base hits, more runs scored, and more runs batted-in than many of the other Yankee greats, including Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle. Ruth led the Yankees to seven American League pennants and four World Series titles, hitting a total of 15 home runs in World Series play. He is the only player ever to hit three home runs in a World Series game on two separate occasions – game 4 of the 1926 World Series and game 4 of the 1928 World Series. Unlike many home run hitters, Ruth had a very good batting average. Wrote the Sporting News in 1999, naming him to its 100 Greatest Players list: "Lost in the fog of Ruth's 12 American League home run titles, four 50-homer seasons, and six RBI titles was a career .342 average that ties for eighth all-time in baseball's modern era." Ruth's career .690 slugging percentage (calculated by dividing total bases by at-bats) is the highest total in the history of Major League Baseball. Ruth's "Louisville slugger" baseball bat – used to hit the first home run at Yankee Stadium in 1923 — was sold at Sotheby's in 2004 for $1.26 million. As a pitcher in his early years with the Red Sox, Ruth won 89 games in six years and set a World Series record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched. From 1915-17, Ruth won 65 games, the most by any left-handed pitcher in the majors during that time.
Ruth's name and legend have been enshrined in baseball history and active baseball play. In 1953, an organized baseball league for boys aged 13-to-15 was named Babe Ruth League Baseball. In 1969, Ruth was named baseball's Greatest Player Ever in a ballot commemorating the 100th anniversary of the game. And in 1999, voting by baseball fans put Ruth on the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. Ruth's popularity, and indeed his continuing commercial value, is seen in the recent prices paid at auction for Ruth memorabilia. Ruth's 1923 solid ash, Louisville Slugger baseball bat used to hit the first home run at Yankee Stadium in April 1923 was sold at a Sotheby's in December 2004 for $1.26 million. The 1919 contract that sent Ruth from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees was sold by Sotheby's on June 10, 2005 for $996,000. Ruth's name and image – used variously in advertising and other commercial uses – continues to be under management by a public relations firm. His life has also been the subject of numerous books and web sites, including the recently published The Big Bam, the cover of which is shown below in "sources".

Loulwa's parents began to communicate with Children's National Heart Institute and the International Program to schedule an appointment in the United States . The arrangements were coordinated with the referring doctor, the family and the embassy. Everything went smoothly until the family arrived at JFK airport in New York City after a 13-hour flight. Loulwa had developed a fever and was rushed to a New York City Emergency Room and was admitted for three days before she could continue her trip to Washington, DC.
When Loulwa arrived at Children's, Dr. Jonas performed major repair surgery. Loulwa was released from the hospital one week after the surgery. Soon thereafter, the family returned to Kuwait. Loulwa is doing well and the family is enjoying their healthy daughter.
