How long will Sanchez be a Giant? (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
According to FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi (who cites "major-league sources"), the Giants are willing to trade left-hander Jonathan Sanchez.
The move would presumably free up money so the team could focus on acquiring some help in the lineup.
Morosi notes that "Sanchez, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Ryan Vogelsong, Madison Bumgarner, and Barry Zito could combine to earn as much as $60 million in 2012 — roughly half of the team's payroll" and opines that Sanchez is the most expendable, saying he is probably going to make about $6 million next season, his free agent year.
Just who the Giants could get in return for Sanchez is anybody's guess at this point. Sanchez, who turns 29 in a couple of weeks, followed up his superb 2010 season (in which he went 13-9 with a 3.07 ERA, 1.231 WHIP and 205 strikeouts) by falling flat on his face in 2011 (4-7, 4.26, 1.441 WHIP, 102 K, and two stints on the disabled list).
I hope you enjoyed reading "Giants appear ready to trade Jonathan Sanchez." I'm interested in your opinion on this article. Why not leave a comment at 22gigantes.com?

I want to be able to dynamically control the level of logging my Azure cloud-based applications perform. To do this I'm creating a shared log4net-based DLL.
There are lots of questions about log4net logging but almost all of them involve entering and manipulating settings in a config file or other text file. In the Azure cloud, changing the web.config means redeploying. I want to change the logging by making web service calls into the applications from an admin portal.
I also have several applications and I want each to use my new log4net-based DLL without having to store identical settings such as Appender details in each config file. The applications log the same, consistent data.
I do not want to use the Azure diagnostics because this will reduce performance of this large user base application. In addition, I want to reduce logging and diagnostics to a minimum (or disable completely) and only enable them at various levels to debug production problems or take snapshots of their performance. I don't want to redeploy my apps.
What's the best approach?

OMG, OH WOW, OH YEAH! This is fabulous! Absolutely delicious without a long list of ingredients. I grilled the pork to perfection tonight (HOORAH for me!) and we all loved it so much! Made for ZWT9, Mike & the Appliance Killers!
This was a nice way to prepare pork tenderloin. I found the quantities for the marinade more than I needed so I use about 3/4 cup of juice and 1/3 cup of oil and marinated it in my Food Savor marintating tray. My loin was about 1 1/2 lbs. it was a wide short piece so I cut it in half to allow more contact with the marinade. I used 1/2 lime and 1/2 fresh grapefruit juice. Our weather wasn't cooperating with grilling so I seared the loin in my cast iron frying pan then put it in the oven and roasted at 350 degrees. I basted it during the cooking with some of the left over marinade, I removed as much of oil as I could from the marinade before using. After removing the meat from the pan, which had lots of nice brown crustys, I reduced added the rest of the defatted marinade and reduced it down, it was extremly tangy so I whisked in about a half cup of heavy cream this made for a lovely tangy gravy. Thanks Lynn for sharing! Made for ZWT 6 for the Unrulies Under the Influence
Nice Mediterranean flavor in this. I made 1/8 of the marinade for that amount of meat (except the lime - I used lemon and used 1/4 of what the recipe called for).

John Hiatt And Robert Earl Keen On World Cafe
Set List
"Gringo Honeymoon"
"Christmas in the Family"
"Road Goes on Forever"
"Crossing Muddy Waters"
"Like a Freight Train"
"Tiki Bar Is Open"
"Thing Called Love"
Now in its third year, the Cayamo Cruise is basically a concert at sea: a weeklong cruise through the Caribbean with a crew of musicians on board to provide entertainment. WXPN was there for this year's cruise in February to capture some of the nautical performances, including those by John Hiatt and Robert Earl Keen.
Although his body of work speaks for itself, it's hard not to be impressed by some of the artists who've covered Hiatt's songs: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, B.B. King and Buddy Guy are only a few of the big names who have reinterpreted his work. His gruff, idiosyncratic voice only seems to gain more character with each passing year, and Hiatt seems determined to put it to use, with six albums released in the past 10 years alone. His latest record, The Open Road, abounds with the driving, blues-inflected garage-rock he's been honing throughout his career.
Although he began his career as a newspaper writer, Robert Earl Keen has been putting out records filled with classic folk-country for more than 20 years. While studying at Texas A&M, he learned to play guitar and began writing songs with friend Lyle Lovett. After gaining a foothold in the Austin music scene, he decamped to Nashville, hoping to land a record deal. Disillusioned with the polished sound of mainstream 1980s country, Keen moved back to Austin and continued to develop his material on his own. With his debut album, 1989's West Textures, Keen set a template that he would stick to throughout his career: a blend of acoustic folk balladry and raucous barroom country.
In addition to live performances from the Cayamo Cruise, this special edition of World Cafe also features a joint interview with Hiatt and Keen.

Shouldn't this be "headwear" and not "headware"? DopefishJustin 01:28, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)
- This is odd. There are like 20,000 Google hits for such words, but neither OED nor Merriam-Webster has this word. Maybe this is an extremely common misspelling? --Menchi 01:47, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I suppose it must be influenced by words like "hardware" and "software", which are obviously very common nowadays. There are 800 000 hits for headwear (v. 20 000 for headware), so as you say it looks like a common misspelling. I've made redirects to headgear for all the spellings I could think of. I just googled for footware and footwear - a similar result with 100 000 hits for footware and 7 million for footwear. :)

Pathfinder // 2002 // 84 Minutes // Not Rated
Reviewed by Judge David Johnson // July 20th, 2007
Disclaimer: I apologize to the filmmakers if I missed out on your edgy vision but my head hurts
I'm not going to mince words: this film is trippy. And not in that so-surreal-it's-kind-of-cool way, but more in the irritating-hard-to-follow-borderline-pretentious-I-want-to-take-a-pistol-air-rivet-gun-to-my-skull way.
Lost by Dead is a Japanese film, shot entirely in black and white. It tells the story of a musician named Akira who is ravaged by guilt over the death of his girlfriend, a fate he played a role in. On the periphery are Akira's band-mates hoping to wean their front man off his despair in time for their Big Gig, Akira's long-suffering-in-love lady friend who worries about her beloved's mental health, some street punk with Lisa Simpson hair and a ruthless Yakuza bastard. All these elements in Akira's life crash together during the final, violent, wacko scene and you'll likely be left popping Ibuprofen.
Akira bounces from crisis to crisis in a psychological shambles over the course of the 85-minute runtime, with each shady encounter growing more and more violent. He finds himself enveloped in drugs and in his haze frequently gets into bloodier and bloodier fracases. Eventually the people that care about him get sucked into his path of self-destruction and, well, needless to say it's not all puppy dogs and lollipops.
I get what director Masato Tsujioka (who also wrote, edited and produced) was going for: a harrowing depiction of a man's downward spiral. And I'll give him that much, it was harrowing. Akira gets royally @#$%-ed up, both from his rampant drug abuse and the brutal fights he by far gets the worst of. So in that respect, mission accomplished Mr. Tsujioka, you've successfully crafted a picture of guilt-fueled self-immolation.
And as cheerful as that sounds, the brain-stabbingly sensory overload-a-riffic presentation that Tsujioka injects in his story pretty much derails the entire experience. The editing is frenetic and distracting, there are some bizarre meta-narrative interludes (reminded me of a Greek chorus strung out on PCP) strewn throughout and the screaming. Oh, the screaming. It seems like everyone in this film bellows out the most obnoxious guttural sounds known to humankind. I hate to betray my ignorance, but, sorry, I have no idea what all the screaming means.
The true deal-breaker, however, is the godforsaken video quality. Slapped with a non-anamorphic widescreen transfer, the film looks horrible. The black and white picture is soft as it is, but when you add in the unacceptable level of grain in most of the scenes, you're looking at a broken DVD. The grain becomes so impressive that some scenes -- most of which occur in the dark -- are nigh-opaque. I could suck down a confusing mélange of images of and sounds and stylistic quirks, but the abysmal transfer is a non-starter.
If you're still intrigued, here's the rest of the skinny: the 2.0 stereo Japanese track is supplemented by English subtitles and the only extra of note is a selection of interviews with the cast and crew.

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson loves joy. Almond Joy.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Lovejoy: Christmas Specials (published October 9th, 2008), Lovejoy: Series 2 (published October 11th, 2014), Lovejoy: Series 3 (published November 22nd, 2014), Lovejoy: Series 4 (published January 23rd, 2015), Lovejoy: Series 5 (published April 22nd, 2015), Lovejoy: Series 6 (published July 28th, 2015), Lovejoy: The Complete Season Four (published January 13th, 2009), Lovejoy: The Complete Season One (published June 20th, 2007), Lovejoy: The Complete Season Six (published November 19th, 2009), Lovejoy: The Complete Season Three (published June 4th, 2008), and Lovejoy: The Complete Season Two (published February 13th, 2008) are also available.
The Charge
In the shady world of antiques, Lovejoy (Ian McShane, Deadwood) has a knack for finding the truth.
The Case
Who is Lovejoy? He's a roguish antiques dealer, an industry iconoclast, the bad-boy of the bargain hunters. He's also really good at his job, unraveling mysteries that lie behind hunks of junk and revealing the treasure that lurks within. But before you think this is nothing but a gussied-up hourlong version of Antiques Roadshow, fear not: Lovejoy is a playful mystery series, anchored by its charismatic lead.
The show aired for six series from 1986 to 1994. McShane's Lovejoy is a witty, rakish bad-ass collector, who manages to stumble upon all manner of relic and curiosity, all of which are connected to some sort of malfeasance. Episodes adopt an "antique-of-the-week" approach, with Lovejoy confronted with different antagonists and nefarious plots.
The mysteries themselves are pretty good, punctuated by some memorable and surprisingly nasty bad guys (apparently the antiquing circuit is filled with some of the most malevolent wrongdoers around). While the antique angle might seem interesting, the writers find enough stories to tell about the junk Lovejoy scores.
Still, this is all about McShane. He's got a great touch with the character, a hero is self-deprecating and irreverent. He's no alpha bad-ass either; I lost count of the number of times Lovejoy was bailed out of a dire predicament by a third party. But that's part of what makes him a great character. He'll get the upper hand, usually without throwing a punch. He's smart, cunning and can talk his way out of any situation.
Three discs, 10 episodes, over 500 minutes of auction and mystery-solving tomfoolery. The full frame transfer won't win any tech awards and for sure shows its age, but it's passable. No extras.
The Verdict
It's an old show, but Ian McShane is great and the whodunits are satisfying.
Good show. Not guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Lovejoy: Series 1 a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

I've scoured the internet for nearly an hour now and haven't found anything helpful. The only site I found that had instructions said to hold the power button down for 15 seconds. I held it for 30 and nothing happened. Additionally, this model has a sliding power button. Is there anything I can do to restore this pathetic device?

For reasons which would be obvious if you could all see what I'm working on, I want to be able to run query_posts on a single page. Inside the query_posts I want to display the content via
<?php the_content("read on"); ?>
The core idea of this works except for the fact when the posts are rederend they aren't trimming at the --more-- spot... it's displaying the whole post!?
I was readin up on the_content and saw the notice saying The <!--more--> quicktag will not operate and is ignored if there is only one post being displayed.... is that what's happening to me, since I'm running the query_posts on a single page?
Cheers in advance.

Problem :
Audio output stops working randomly, more exactly you can hear bits of it sometimes. It is like an audio drop-out that could happen on a very old PC when the CPU is at 100% CPU, being so busy that playback becomes hatched. (that's what it reminds me)
I have tried a couple of solutions describing the same behavior on the web such as reinstalling the drivers, ATI ones and RealTek ones but none worked so far. Additionally, when the audio breaks like this, the Windows' sound panel takes an incredible time to show up.
The only solution working so far is to restart the PC as trying to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI connector doesn't make Windows re-detect the sound card and eventually fix the problem.
Configuration :
- Windows 8
- Intel Core I7 4770 (which includes an integrated GPU : HD4600)
- 16Gb RAM
- Motherboard is a GigaByte Z87-PD3
- system has the latest updates and drivers
Note : everything works perfectly under Linux. (so I guess there's no defective hardware)

"Clones obey commands blindly. As long as you don't cause a scene, they will ignore you. Don't know about these new Stormtroopers thought. They might have a different code of conduct" Ferod said and shook his head.
"Be lucky you were ignored. If you were kept around and had fought with the clones, you would now be a corpse ambushed by your own troops. It was pure luck I and my apprentice had just left to investigate some suspicious CIS activity near Mandalore before getting a message to return to Coruscant. We decided to jump out of hyperspace mid-journey and punch in the coordinates for Coruscant. We arrived in time to see the Temple burn and then headed here even before someone changed the return call into a hiding one" Ferod sighed and looked around. He knew the Empire could have spies around, so he spoke with a slightly hushed voice.
"What we heard the clones around the temple say was that someone called Darth Vader was giving them orders. I do not know who this new Darth is, which is one of the many reasons why we are here. The other reasons include rest, anonymity and a man called Gordon that we were supposed to meet, yet I do not know which of the many mercenaries her is he" the man said and leaned back again.

McDonald's Pot Dealer Tries to Eat Product
It didn't work.
After officers watched a deal go down in the always rowdy Greenwich Village McDonald's, the suspect allegedly "popped a baggie full of marijuana in his mouth and started chewing to try to destroy the evidence," DNA Info reports. It didn't work: "He then spit the chewed-up, loose bits of weed on the ground," requiring the cops to "collect it as evidence."

The task the authors have set themselves is a pretentious one indeed; namely, to encompass the entire field of therapeutics in a manual consisting of eight small format volumes, viz. (1) infections and intoxications; (2) diseases of the respiratory organs; (3) diseases of the digestive tract; (4) cardiovascular and urinary diseases; (5) nervous and mental diseases; (6) diseases of children; (7) eye, ear, nose and throat diseases, and (8) genito-urinary and cutaneous diseases. The last three still await publication. A concise description of symptomatology of each disease is followed by recommendation of a suitable dietary regimen, hygienic measures, general and local treatment, including physical therapy, irradiation and spas; prescriptions follow. As the authors claim that the majority of patients prefer proprietary medicines to officinal preparations, the first group dominates the picture. As to the spas, only French watering resorts are mentioned. A cursory perusal of the five volumes has disclosed

Thorn, who arrived at Queenstown airport yesterday afternoon
to join his new team-mates on a trek up the Greenstone
Valley, was excited to be back in an area he had plenty to do
with as a boy.
''I'm excited, you know. It's interesting ... just coming
back where everything kicked off for me as a kid. So it's
pretty special really. I'm looking forward to it.''
Thorn was born in Mosgiel and moved to Bannockburn as a
5-year-old. He was educated in Cromwell, before the family
moved to Brisbane when he was 9.
The rest is history. Thorn's glittering career includes four
rugby league premierships with the Brisbane Broncos, an NPC
title and a Super 15 title with Canterbury and the Crusaders
respectively, a Rugby World Cup and several Tri Nations
trophies and Bledisloe Cups with the All Blacks, and last
year a Heineken Cup title with Irish club Leinster.
Thorn, who will celebrate his 38th birthday next Sunday, says
he still has fuel in the tank for a season with Highlanders
coach Jamie Joseph.
''I had 17 years where I was stressed about trying to achieve
my goals. My father played for Otago as a schoolboy. That was
something special. For me to come back here, this is
something I wanted to do. To come back and represent where I
was from.''
Thorn insists he has no plans to slow down or relax in 2013.
''It's going to challenge me. How my body holds up. Testing
myself; have I still got it? Can I still mix it?
''I'll take the season, I'll see how I go. There's a part of
me that wouldn't mind going back to Europe for a season or
two. We will see what happens.''

The city is looking for volunteers in three areas of Ville Du Parc to participate in a pilot infiltration and inflow program.
Chuck Boehm of AECOM, a consultant working for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, and Mark Lloyd, the deputy director of public works, discussed the pilot program tonight at a Mequon Common Council meeting.
Lloyd said about $138,000 of a $400,000 set aside by MMSD for the city for I & I studies would pay for the pilot program.
Private sanitary sewer laterals, which connect homes and businesses to the sanitary mains found in the street, would be televised and inspected for deficiencies. Older pipes can corrode or be infiltrated by tree roots, or joints can crack allowing clear water to enter the sanitary laterals.
I & I is a major cause of basement back ups, particularly during periods of heavy rain and run off. MMSD is funding I & I programs throughout the sewer system.
There will be no cost to residents for the program. If problems are found, the city would not force repairs according to the discussion this evening. The council would have the ability to spend some of the remaining $400,000 on a repairs but has not discussed how such a program would work.
Two aldermen, John Wirth and Ken Zganjar, said they would be reluctant to see the entire pot of money spent in only one area of the city.
Lloyd said the results of the study would help the city determine the best way to proceed.
"We can take the information and apply it citywide," Boehm said.
The city plans to hold an informational meeting in two weeks for residents in the pilot program area.

Watch: 'Private Practice' star Taye Diggs kills hip hop for an ABC web short
If you thought Taye Diggs spent too much time emoting and not enough time singing on "Private Practice," has ABC got the web short for you. As part of the network's evolution of its web comedy channel, www.abc.com/abcdotcomedy, the actor has starred in the aptly-named "Taye Diggs Destroys Hip Hop."
"Humor is a hallmark of the ABC Network so it makes sense that we infuse our digital video content with as much comedy as possible," said Chris Thomes, Vice President of Disney/ABC Television Group's Digital Media Studio. "With these new web shorts almost anything goes as long as we're true to the brand."
In "Taye Diggs Destroys Hip Hop" Diggs moves into the world of hip hop music with rapper and YouTube sensation Destorm. Does it work? Come on, it's a comedy short. Work would not be funny.
If you don't dig (pun intended) this short, maybe you'll be happier knowing the final season of "Private Practice" is released on DVD May 7, 2013

Synthesis of three new 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl) pyrrole-based donor polymers and their bulk heterojunction solar cell applications
A series of three new 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole-based polymers such as poly[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole] (PTPT), poly[1,4-(2,5-bis(octyloxy)phenylene)-alt-5,5'-(1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole)] (PPTPT), and poly[2,5-(3-octylthiophene)-alt-5,5'-(1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole)] (PTTPT) were synthesized and characterized. The new polymers were readily soluble in common organic solvents and the thermogravimetric analysis showed that the three polymers are thermally stable with the 5% degradation temperature >379 °C. The absorption maxima of the polymers were 478, 483, and 485 nm in thin film and the optical band gaps calculated from the onset wavelength of the optical absorption were 2.15, 2.20, and 2.13 eV, respectively. Each of the polymers was investigated as an electron donor blending with PC70BM as an electron acceptor in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. BHJ solar cells were fabricated in ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer:PC70BM/TiOx/Al configurations. The BHJ solar cell with PPTPT:PC70BM (1:5 wt %) showed the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.35% (Jsc = 7.41 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.56 V, FF = 33%), measured using AM 1.5G solar simulator at 100 mW/cm2 light illumination. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Windows that open! Yea! The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped and everything was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was better than most free hotel breakfasts. I would have liked some multi-grain bread and plain Cheerios. The TV was too loud in the breakfast room and we moved three times to get away from its noise. The pool area is lovely and the exercise room is well-equipped. The pullout couch is very uncomfortable for sleeping. ...

The first thing a requester should do to file a RTK request is check with the local or Commonwealth agency to determine who the Open Records Officer is (each agency is required by law to have one) and whether the agency requires use of its own Right-to-Know request form. You can always use the Standard Request Form available on our website to file a request. Address your request to the Open Records Officer (some agencies use the term Right-to-Know Officer).
All appeals must be made in writing and must be submitted to the Office of Open Records within 15 business days from the mailing date of the Agency's response or the date that the request was deemed denied. If that timeframe expires before you provide the required information to the OOR, you lose your right to appeal and may need to file a new RTK request with the Agency.
The Pennsylvania Sunshine Act, 65 Pa.C.S. §§ 701-716, requires agencies to deliberate and take official action on agency business in an open and public meeting. It requires that meetings have prior notice, and that the public can attend, participate, and comment before an agency takes that official action.
The Office of Open Records ("OOR") conducts training on the Right-to-Know Law ("RTKL") at the request of groups that wish to learn about the application of the RTKL, including those seeking records and agencies responding to those requests. In addition, the OOR will often partner with various organizations or associations (such as the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, the Pennsylvania State Associations of Township Supervisors, or the Pennsylvania State Associations of Boroughs) to provide a presenter or panelist.
Today, the Office of Open Records website was completely revamped. This post highlights five new features on the website, but first a note: You can continue to find all of the same information that's always been available on the OOR website. The site has been reorganized, but nothing has been removed. ONLINE APPEALS FORM There's […]

This game comes as close to the real 4 wheeling, mud slinging, rock climbing, log jumping experience as you can get without actually climbing into a real 4X4.
With a career mode that goes as long as you can make it, and better multiplayer support, this one should last you a while.
If you want wild off-road racing, 4x4 EVO 2 usually delivers, warts and all.
Can be a satisfying experience, and the added features may increase the replay value, but the game still has some rather annoying gameplay problems, which shouldn't be there in the sequel.
Splendid graphics and sound effects, with a wide set of vehicles and tuning capabilities and cleverly-designed racing settings...Yet deficiencies in gameplay, artificial intelligence, collision implementation, and even music prevents this title from being the spectacular release that it should have been.
If you're trying to decide between "Test Drive: Off-Road" and this game, choose the former for a better racing experience but choose Evo for its wildly inventive courses and creative object-based missions.
PC GamerThis series is beginning to look less like a unique PC off-road racer and more like a console-port knockoff with each incarnation. [Mar 2002, p.74]
Computer Gaming WorldConsidering the lack of realism and the repetitiousness of gameplay, I cant imagine computer gamers getting into it. [Feb 2002, p.99]
The racing is at best mediocre and at worst awful, so it's a good thing they included missions you can complete for cash. While they're a terrific idea (more variety is a very good thing), they're also completely brain dead.

Yiota Tsakiri, a Product Architect at oDesk, helped lead the development side of oDesk's recent site redesign. She and her team worked tirelessly to launch the new site—which includes the new blog you see here! Here is an inside look at some of the changes they made.
One of the reasons I love my job at oDesk is because I actually have the freedom to choose and implement technologies I like, while at the same time having the opportunity to impact the lives of millions of people around the world who use our site for their work. In my time at oDesk so far, the visitor site redesign was one of the most challenging and exciting projects I have worked on.
We had to essentially rewrite the entire visitor site, and as a first step of this process, we had to move our homegrown CMS into a more robust and full-featured one. Knowing that we'll eventually need to develop the rest of the visitor site in the same infrastructure, and after benchmarking drupal vs django-cms (see here for the analysis), we picked django-CMS. So currently, all of our static pages are built via our django-CMS installation.
Building static pages with reusable SCSS components
One of our primary goals was to be able to use reusable CSS components in our static pages, so we don't end up with a high level of customized CSS in our static pages. We were using Compass to define CSS components but we wanted to expose them in our CMS also, so we had to create a custom plugin for django-CMS. The plugin includes five basic fields, which you can see here:
And the way this works is as follows:
class SassStylesheetPlugin(CMSPlugin): name = models.CharField(...) css_media = models.CharField(...) scss_body = models.TextField(...) compiled_css_body = models.TextField(...) upload = models.BooleanField(...) def _get_compiled_css(self): compiled_body = scss_compiler.compile_scss(self.scss_body) content = '<style type="text/css" media="%s">%s</style>' % ( self.css_media, compiled_body) if not self.upload: return content return compressor.output() def save(self, commit=False): self.compiled_css_body = self._get_compiled_css() return super(SassStylesheetPlugin, self).save(commit=commit)
The plugin reads the input SCSS and compiles it to a CSS output. The compressor we use is django-compressor and the SCSS compiler we use is pyScss.
Writing static pages this way in our CMS becomes easier and less messy. CMS administrators can @import reusable SCSS components that are globally defined in our stylesheets and use them in their pages. As a result, we can have static pages that are using less CSS code and actually look and feel similar to the rest of the site.
Using S3 as a shared resource
One of the things we always have in mind while developing the visitor site is that we are operating in a distributed environment in the cloud—our services are replicated on multiple EC2 instances in multiple availability zones. As a result, a single server instance failure or even a whole availability zone failure should not impact our reliability.
When admins create static pages or upload content such as images, these files need to be stored in a central location so that they can be accessed by all servers. S3 provides an ideal solution for this, as it is a storage service that can also serve the content directly to the visitors.
Every time a page on the CMS is modified we automatically compile the SCSS to CSS, we create a file and upload it to S3 (just as we do with images and other files) and then just append in the HTML of the page a link to the stylesheet.

SPASE—for Space Physics Archive Search and Extract—is a group with a charter to promote collaboration and sharing of data for the Space Plasma Physics community. A major activity is the definition of the SPASE Data Model which defines the metadata necessary to describe resources in the broader heliophysics data environment. The SPASE Data Model is primarily a controlled vocabulary with hierarchical relationships and with the ability to form associations between described resources. It is the result of many years of effort by an international collaboration (see http://www.spase-group.org) to unify and improve on existing Space and Solar Physics data models. The genesis of the SPASE group can be traced to 1998 when a small group of individuals saw a need for a data model. Today SPASE has a large international participation from many of the major space research organizations. The design of the data model is based on a set of principles derived from evaluation of the existing heliophysics data environment. The development guidelines for the data model are consistent with ISO-2788 (expanded in ANSI/NISO Z39.19) and the administration for the data model is comparable to that described in the ISO standards ISO-11179 and ISO-20943. Since the release of version 1.0 of the data model in 2005, the model has undergone a series of evolutions. SPASE released version 2.0 of its data model in April 2009. This version presents a significant change from the previous release. It includes the capability to describe a wider range of data products and to describe expert annotations which can be associated with a resource. Additional improvements include an enhanced capability to describe resource associations and a more unified approach to describing data products. Version 2.0 of the SPASE Data Model provides a solid foundation for continued integration of worldwide research activities and the open sharing of data.
