Keri Russell and Family Touch Down at LAX on February 6 2008
Keri Russell Nabbed Herself a Nice (Hot) Vineyard Boy
Keri Russell Nabbed Herself a Nice (Hot) Vineyard Boy
Keri Russell and her adorable boys landed at LAX yesterday, leaving NYC and their snowy walks behind. Gotta love how Keri and her husband Shane Deary have matching hairdos — one of these days, when River gets some hair, he'll be joining his parents ponytail posse too. He's already following in his mom Keri's footsteps by trying to get at her Starbucks. One of the cuter babies ever. Love it. Also, after seeing these photos (Shane's sweatshirt) and doing a little bit of research, I learned that he's a Martha's Vineyard boy, so even more love for the fellow Massachusetts native. I knew there was a reason I was such a big fan of this family.

Personal or small-office printers have been fundamental components of our computing environment since the earliest PCs. But they can also be expensive and temperamental beasts.
With the growing prevalence of cloud computing, PDFs, and other means of handling digital documents, it's time to re-evaluate your printing practices.
Save time and money with portable documents
In the 1980s, the printer room in a company was a gathering place; you might catch up on the latest office gossip while you waited for a big machine to collate and print 14 35-page documents for the afternoon meeting. Today, instead of waiting by the printer, you can simply create an e-mail message, enter the recipients, attach a digital PDF of that 35-page document, and click Send. Fast and easy (though gossip will have to wait for lunch). Consider how much time, paper, and energy were saved!
Although the chances are good you create you documents in Word, it's not the best format for distributing documents to others. Send them as PDFs (Portable Document Format), which are easily read by others — whether they have the program you used to create the document or not. PDF preserves all the elements of a printed document. Recipients of the file do need Adobe Reader (download page) or Foxit Reader (page) to be able to view the file, but that's available online as a fast and free download.
The process of creating a PDF is significantly easier than it was a few years ago. Many popular business applications today (including Office 2010) include a Save as PDF option. And there are free and low-cost alternatives to Adobe's PDF creation application — Acrobat. A quick Google search will turn up sites such as PDFCreator, CutePDF, and deskPDF. You can even create PDFs from your Google Docs (select File/Download as/PDF).
Digital signatures can replace a John Hancock
Many of us might still think that a legal signature requires printing documents and conveying them to the recipients whose autographs are required on the dotted line. That simple process often involved mailings, messenger services, or other transfer costs — and certainly time. Electronic signatures are fast, easy, and sometimes free. For example, DocuSign (info page), an online e-signature tool, enables you to create, mark, and send up to five documents per month for digital signatures at no cost. If your signature requirements are higher than the maximum free allotment, or you have multiple users you want to add to the account, you can sign up for a paid version of DocuSign to handle the load.
Back up and share files in the Cloud
Another common use of printers is to print backup copies of information we might need again someday. For example, if you ordered something online, chances are you printed and saved the receipt; if you found an interesting article, you printed it and filed it away for future reference. If you had a letter from a friend, a sign-up sheet for softball, or a household-inventory listing, you probably printed it and stuck it into an accordion folder for safekeeping.
Today, there are many choices for backing up information digitally — typically physical devices such as external hard drives, flash drives, or writeable CDs and DVDs.

Palm Beach County is a county located in the state of Florida. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,320,134, making it the third-most populous county in Florida. The largest city and county seat is West Palm Beach. Named after one of its oldest settlements, Palm Beach, the county was established in 1909, after being split from Miami-Dade County. The county's modern-day boundaries were established in 1963. Palm Beach County is included in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, Florida metropolitan area.
The area had been increasing in population since the late 19th century, with the incorporation of West Palm Beach in 1894 and after Henry Flagler extended the Florida East Coast Railway and built the Royal Poinciana Hotel, The Breakers, and Whitehall. In 1928, the Okeechobee hurricane struck West Palm Beach and caused thousands of deaths. Since then, a number of other tropical cyclones have impacted the area. More recently, the county acquired national attention during the 2000 presidential election, when a controversial recount occurred. As of 2004, Palm Beach County is Florida's wealthiest county, with a per capita personal income of $44,518.
Early history
Approximately 12,000 years ago, Native Americans began migrating into Florida. The tribes settling in modern day Palm Beach County included the Ais', Calusas, Jaegas, Mayaimis, and Tequestas. An estimated 20,000 Native Americans lived in South Florida when the Spanish arrived. Their population diminished significantly by the 18th century, due to warfare, enslavement, and diseases from Europe. In 1513, Juan Ponce de León, who led a European expedition to Florida earlier that year, became the first non-Native American to reach Palm Beach County, after landing in the modern day Jupiter area. Among the first non-Native American residents were African Americans, many of whom were former slaves or immediate descendants of former slaves who had escaped to the State of Florida from slave plantations located in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Runaway African slaves started coming to what was then Spanish Florida in the late 17th century and they found refuge among the Seminole Native Americans. During the Seminole Wars, these African-American slaves fought with the Seminoles against White settlers and bounty hunters. Portions of the Second Seminole War occurred in Palm Beach County, including the Battle of Jupiter Inlet in 1838.
The oldest surviving structure, the Jupiter Lighthouse, was built in 1860, after receiving authorization to the land from President Franklin Pierce in 1854. During the American Civil War, Confederate sympathizers including Augustus O. Lang and James Paine removed the lighting mechanism, dimming the lighthouse and assisting their blockade runners. After the Civil War ended, the Jupiter Lighthouse was re-lit in 1866.
Henry Flagler, who was instrumental in the county's development in the late 19th century and early 20th century, first visited in 1892, describing the area as a "veritable paradise." Flagler subsequently purchased land on both sides of Lake Worth. Other investors followed suit, causing a small boom and bringing in existing businesses or new ones were established. The Royal Poinciana Hotel, constructed by Flagler to accommodate wealthy tourists, opened for business in February 1894. About a month later, the Florida East Coast Railway, owned by Flagler, reached West Palm Beach. On November 5, 1894, Palm Beach County's oldest city, West Palm Beach, was incorporated. In 1896, another hotel built by Flagler was opened, the Palm Beach Inn, later renamed the The Breakers. He also constructed his own winter home beginning in 1900; he and his wife moved in on February 6, 1902. Flagler died there on May 20, 1913, after falling down a flight of marble stairs.
Palm Beach County was created in 1909. It was named for its first settled community, Palm Beach. The County was carved out of what was then the northern portion of Dade County, comprising part of the areas now occupied by Okeechobee and Broward counties, part of Martin and all of Palm Beach county, initially including all of Lake Okeechobee. The southernmost part of Palm Beach County was separated to create the northern portion of Broward County in 1915, the northwestern portion became part of Okeechobee County 1917 and southern Martin County was created from northernmost Palm Beach County in 1925.
Early on September 17, 1928, the Okeechobee hurricane made landfall near West Palm Beach and crossed Lake Okeechobee shortly thereafter. Storm surge left severe damage in the city of Palm Beach, and a death toll of 26. In West Palm Beach, more than 1,711 homes were destroyed. Further inland, wind-driven storm surge in Lake Okeechobee inundated adjacent communities, particularly Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay. Hundreds of square miles were flooded, including some areas with up to of water. Numerous houses were swept away and damaged after crashing into other obstacles. Flood waters did not completely subside for several weeks. At least 2,500 deaths occurred, many of whom were black migrant farmers. Damage in South Florida totaled approximately $25 million (1928 USD). In response to the storm, the Herbert Hoover Dike was constructed to prevent a similar disaster.
Lake Okeechobee had previously overflowed in 1926 during the Miami hurricane, though flooding was primarily in Moore Haven in Glades County. As a result of both the Okeechobee and Miami hurricanes, Palm Beach County, along with the rest of South Florida, began suffering economic turmoil and pushed the region into the Great Depression, even before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Housing prices dropped dramatically in the county, as well as in the rest of the country.
The Palm Beach International Airport, then known as Morrison's Field, opened in 1936. After the United States entered World War II, it was converted to an Air Force Base in 1942. During the war, thousands of servicemen arrived in Palm Beach County for training and supporting the war effort. Following the conclusion of World War II, a number of veterans returned to the area for work, vacation, or retirement.[1] The base was closed and became a commercial airport again in 1962.[2] Migration to the county by workers, tourists, and retirees continued into the 21st century.
Early on August 28, 1949, a Category 4 hurricane struck West Palm Beach with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h). Sand and debris swept across roads in Palm Beach. Strong winds shattered windows at a car dealership in West Palm Beach and toppled two radio towers, one in Belle Glade and the other in Lake Worth. At the Palm Beach Air Force Base, the storm left at least $1 million (1949 USD) in damage.
A growth in population occurred, exceeding 100,000 during the 1950 United States Census, approximately 114,688 people, and nearly double that by a decade later.
The area's first television station, WIRK-TV Channel 21, signed on September 13, 1953. It went off the air less than three years later. However, NBC affiliate WPTV-TV and CBS affiliate WPEC first aired in 1954 and 1955, respectively – both of which are still in existence today.
About three-quarters of Lake Okeechobee was removed from Palm Beach County in 1963 and divided up among Glades, Hendry, Martin and Okeechobee counties. This was the final change to the county's boundaries.[3]
Hurricane David struck near West Palm Beach late on September 3, 1979, with sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h); this was the most recent hurricane landfall in Palm Beach County. The storm's winds shattered windows in stores near the coast and caused property damage, including blowing the frame off the Palm Beach Jai Alai and downing the 186-foot (57-m) WJNO AM radio tower in West Palm Beach into the Intracoastal Waterway. A few roofs were torn off, and numerous buildings were flooded from over 6 inches (150 mm) of rainfall. Damage in the county reached $30 million (1979 USD), most of which was incurred to agriculture.
By 2000, the population of Palm Beach County exceeded 1 million.
The county was the center of controversy during the presidential election. The "butterfly ballot" led to an unexpectedly large number of votes for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan, rather than for Democrat Al Gore or Republican George W. Bush. Due to the voting tally in Palm Beach County, Bush won the electoral votes for the state of Florida by a margin of 537 out of 5.8 million votes. This victory in turn, gave him the victory in the national election.
Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, it was revealed that some of the terrorists trained in Palm Beach County, including Ahmed al-Haznawi, Marwan al-Shehhi, Mohamed Atta, and Ziad Jarrah.[4] Later that month, during the anthrax attacks, a letter containing spores of this substance was mailed to the American Media, Inc. building in Boca Raton. Three people were exposed to the anthrax, one of whom later died.

In a quarterly macroeconomic assessment last week, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said the "exchange rate is not a foolproof tool for addressing…structural inflation…(for which) fiscal policy needs to work." The central bank was suggesting that the interest rate channel is its preferred monetary tool, countering the government's expectations that currency appreciation could check imported inflation and allow lower rates.
This is somewhat of a departure from the monetary-fiscal policy mix followed by RBI and the government in 2010-11. Then, currency appreciation and low interest rates amid strong foreign capital inflows helped keep inflation lower than it otherwise might have been, while a halt to reserves' accumulation saved quasi-fiscal sterilization costs and kept government borrowing costs, viz. long-bond yields, low. Overall, this assisted fiscal licentiousness, averting pressure to withdraw the post-crisis stimulus.
The macroeconomic outcomes of this strategy are by now well-known: Still high-inflation with accumulated price pressures; ever-rising subsidies with a marked deterioration in public balances; an extraordinary rise in imports, build-up of private, external debt with a steadily expanding current account deficit and weakened indicators of external vulnerability. To the point that these imbalances led to heightened risks of macroeconomic instability and a country reappraisal manifest in a hefty depreciation of the exchange rate. Nothing short of a crisis except for the comfort of large forex reserves, a flexible exchange rate and still-favourable growth differential.
Unfortunately, the exchange rate response isn't proving so helpful in external adjustment, much unlike 2008-09 or even as far back as 1990-91. Elsewhere, RBI said that import-export elasticities are low so the positive impact of exchange rate depreciation on the trade balance is limited; this is explained by the high-import content of exports and slower supply responses to price changes, while the price inelasticity of imports (ex-oil) arises from gold and fertilizers, where pass-through is incomplete. RBI estimates that a 10% real depreciation is required to raise non-oil exports by about 4% the following year; conversely, net petroleum imports drop by just a percentage point.
Although the central bank was cautious about the robustness of these results, the tepid response of the trade gap even in the short period for which these results hold is disturbing: if an external price reduction does not stimulate an expenditure switch between tradable and non-tradable sectors, how to rebalance external payments is a concern for macroeconomic policy.
Not so long ago, RBI's Annual Report (2009-10) had evidence that currency appreciation significantly worsened the trade balance; a 1% real appreciation widened the trade balance by almost 0.7% over 1996-2009. What has changed structurally in this short span to cause such a dramatic reversal in the effects of exchange rate movements?
Clearly, hard policy questions arise here. For instance, what has caused the increase in import propensity and diversification of exports into items where firms have greater market/pricing power? Was the strong absorption of foreign capital in post-crisis years productive? If so, how does this reconcile with simultaneous decline in the investment rate? Can a consumption-driven, import-fed model deliver high growth rates without the drivers of investment and exports? The list is quite long. But answers to these should set the course of medium-term policies for repairing imbalances.

Trap advises Gibson to leave United
Giovanni Trapattoni has set himself up for a potential clash with Sir Alex Ferguson by suggesting that Darron Gibson would be better served leaving Manchester United.
Gibson is viewed as a key component for the future of Republic of Ireland football by manager Trapattoni and Gibson claimed his first goal for his country with a stunning effort against Wales on Tuesday evening.
Trapattoni wants to see Gibson fulfil his potential, but believes that will only happen by playing regular football and is concerned that may not happen at Old Trafford.
"He can do more," Trapattoni said. "He has big potential. If I was Gibson I would go to another group where I always play. With this you can build.
"Manchester is Manchester and it is an important club, but sometimes the young players need to play, play, play. It gives them confidence."

Chapter Twenty Five
"Well Tucker would you like some breakfast?" Mam-maw asked him smiling. He nodded looking at me.
"Enjoy." I kissed him shaking my head to try to clear it. "I'll be back. If not I'll call you." He nodded smiling his thanks at Mam-maw as she put down some pancakes for him.
"Alright. I love you." He smiled at me. I smiled the nerves at ease for the moment.
"I love you too." I sighed kissing him again before turning around. I went up the stairs pulling on shorts. I slipped on a bra and a t-shirt before throwing my hair into a pony tail. I grabbed my phone and made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth.I ran down the stairs as Grandma picked up her keys.
"I'll take you Sweetheart. I was going to go see Sarah anyway." She smiled as I opened the door.
"Pap-paw?" He turned to look at me with a pancake in his mouth.
"Yeah?" He mumbled as Mam-maw smacked him for talking with his mouth full.
"Leave him alone." I shook my head at him. "Y'all leave him alone. Alright?" I said pointing at them all.
"I'll make sure they do Honey." Mam-maw smiled at me. I nodded walking out of the house and into the car with Grandma. She drove me to the hospital asking about school, and how the house was, and how Tucker and I met. Normal Grandmother talk, right? Grandma pulled up to the Starbucks across from the hospital.
"You sure you'll be okay?" She asked looking at me quietly. I nodded.
"I'll call if I need anything. Hopefully this will be…alright?" I sighed opening the door. She put her hand over mine.
"Sweetheart I'm just across the street." I smiled at her.
"I know." I got out of the car making my way to the building and opening the door making the cool air hit my face. I blinked as I say Harold stand up from where he was sitting.
"Carson." He smiled at me.
"Mornin'." I smiled at him. He picked up a medium, whatever you call the medium here..I think it was a tall or something. You can tell I drink so much Starbucks here.
"I got you a mint hot chocolate. That's your favorite if I remember…" I nodded smiling.
'Brownie points for you.' I giggled in my head. "Yeah, that still is." I took a sip of it smiling at the warm liquid slid down my throat. "It's great thank you." I went to pull a 5 out of my wallet to pay him back.
"No, no my treat." He shook his head before sighing. "Do you think we can maybe take a walk?" He scratched his neck.
"Sure." I walked to the door walking into the early morning heat. Harold held the door open as we started to walk down the street playing the people as they made their way to work, or even coming home from work. "You don't mind me asking but…Why'd you want to meet me here? My mom doesn't exactly like me…" He nodded taking a sip of his coffee.
"I know she doesn't. I hate to say I don't even think she remotely likes you." He gave me a weak smile.
"Yeah…I know." I shrugged as we walked down to a small park with benches and a big fountain. "You heard about…what happened?" He nodded as we sat down on one of the benches that over looked the fountain.
"She's ungrateful really." He sighed. "She took all of it…didn't she?" His head turned to me as I toyed with the lid of my Hot Chocolate.
"Every cent. Not even leaving me a penny. I checked." I shook my head. "We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I'm surprised she waited this long." He shook his head.
"I never understood your relationship with her. Or really hers with you." He took another drink. "I could never imagine my mother doing that to me."
"Harold you never knew your mother." I smiled at him. He shrugged smiling.
"That's true but still." I looked at him before looking back at the fountain.
"Did you know she was cheating on you?" He sighed taking a long swig of his drink.
"Yeah I knew. I guess I've known the whole time." I looked at him as he shook his head. "I guess I just couldn't deal with it."
"Why wouldn't you leave her?" I asked him confused. He shrugged.
"I don't even know…"
"How long have you known?" I asked him taking a sip from the cooling drink. He looked at me giving me a soft smile.
"You remember when I took you on that vacation 3 years back? I took you during the summer." I nodded smiling remembering it.
"Yeah it was awesome. We went all those different places for 2 months." He nodded a sad smile on his face.
"Right before that. I was going to take the three of us out on a family vacation, like a real family. I was going to surprise her." He shook his head. "I found her in bed with a mutual friend of ours."
"Did you tell her?" He shook his head.
"I didn't have the heart to. I sat downstairs for three hour before she came down, kissed me hello and left." He smiled at me. "Next thing I know I'm buying tickets to fly to Nevada and picking you up." I smiled at him. "You took my mind off it. Off the pain of knowing my marriage turned to utter crap."
"It's not your fault Harold." He sighed again.
"Sometimes I wonder if it was my fault. That maybe I was too focused on work to worry about her." I shook my head.
"Never Harold. Even if you spent every minute with her she would still do it." I took another sip. "You know she went to Costa Rica?" He shook his head.
"She said she went to her parent's house for the week." He rubbed his neck nervously.
"She says that to them all." I smiled weakly at him. "I wish she didn't do that to you. You're too nice of a guy for it." He patted my back.
"You don't deserve to have a mother like that." He smiled as a little kid ran up to the fountain smiling laughed as his mother ran after him to grab him. I smiled looking down at my shoes.
"I have Sarah now. She's all I ever wanted." He turned to look at me.
"I'm divorcing your mother." He said making me look at him.
"I would have guessed you would have." I sighed looking at the fountain.
"Sweetheart I don't think I may ever have any kids of my own. I'm scared. I always wanted to be a Daddy like mine was. But I don't think I'll ever get that." He shook his head. "I thought your mother would want a baby." I turned to look at him as his eyes glazed over. "She doesn't. She said she didn't want no brats hanging around her." I put my cup down to look at him. "She just wanted my money." His southern accent flooding into his words. "All I wanted was someone to love." He shook his head. I wrapped my arms around him. He held me tightly.
"It'd be all right Harold. Y'all find someone." I whispered squeezing him. "And you'll always have me." I sighed as he pulled back to look at me.
"You don't know what that means to me kid." I smiled at him as he laughed. "I'm gonna spoil you rotten." He shook his head. "As much as your Daddy lets me." He kissed my head.
"I'm sure my Daddy won't mind too much. He might just get jealous of me though." I picked up my hot, now cold, chocolate and took the last sip.
"It's alright sweets, I'll share." He smiled at me.
"Your accent slips in when you're upset." I giggled as we got up to walk.
"Happens to everyone around here who tries not to show it. I bet yours does too." I smiled nodding before laughing.
"It does, it does." He smiled at me as we started to walk back to the hospital.
"Sweetheart no matter what happens I ain't gonna lose you. I'll do anything not to." I looked at him.
"I bet Grandpa and Pap-paw can help you with adoption." He looked at me. "You know so you can be a Daddy. A real, full Daddy." He looked ahead of us as we got back to the Starbucks.
"I might do that. But if it doesn't work out. I'm spoiling you and your baby brother." I smiled hugging him. "Take this." He pulled out his wallet opening it. He pulled out a credit card and handed it to me. I looked up from the black card to look at him.
"Harold…" He shook his head at me.
"If you need anything. I mean anything. You can buy it. I got money to spend now." He smiled kissing my head. "I also have your number so I'll be calling you to make sure you are good and okay." I nodded at him shoving the card into my pocket.
"Thank you." I smiled at him. He shook his head.
"Your family. I'd do anything for my family." I nodded pressing the button to cross the street to go see Sarah. "I'll see you soon?" He smiled pulling out his cell phone.
"Yeah, see you soon." I smiled nodded crossing the street. I got up to Sarah's room as she burped JJ after a feeding.
"Did you have a good conversation with Harold?" She smiled already knowing what my answer is. I nodded sitting down.
"Where'd Grandma go?" I asked at the silent room.
"My father was having some issue again." She laughed cradling JJ in her arms after he burped.
"Nothing new then?" She shook her head.
"I did want to talk to you though." I looked at her.
"Nicole's mother called. She isn't going back to school Carson." I looked down. "We thought it would be better if the two of you went to public school." I looked at her.
"What about Tucker?" She took a deep breath trying to think of a good way of saying what she wanted to.
"I talked to your father a couple days ago. We think that it's time to be a family." She looked at me. "We think it would be good, better for the family, if you didn't go back to school either." I rubbed my neck. "We also…" She took a deep breath. "We are thinking of moving because…your father got a job."
"But Dad…" She shook her head.
"This is a conversation you need to have with him. Not me."
"Where would we be moving?"
"A little town in Nevada." I looked up at her.
"It wouldn't be…" She smiled at me.
"We've been planning it for a while now. We want you all to be together. It's why we wanted you to meet the guys, to be friends with them. Your Dad knew this was his last deployment. He wanted you, me, JJ, and him to be together and happy." I could feel the tears in my eyes.
"I'm finally going to have a family." I smiled at her. "A real family."

While making an appearance at London's Kiss FM Studios with her group The Saturdays, Rochelle Wiseman looked polished in a floppy hat, long embroidered jacket, pocket tank, and $56 Lipsy Scallop Edge Shorts:
She accessorized with tights and suede pumps. Rochelle must have been cold because her bandmate opted for bare legs!
Her shorts feature a high-waist, leg-baring silhouette, enamel and gold-tone button detailing, and a scallop hemline.
I am definitely a fan of pairing shorts with tights so this look gets a thumbs up from me! I understand Rochelle's love for her Birkin, but a black tote would have also been nice. Despite what some might think, a Birkin isn't always best!
You can get her shorts at www.asos.com.
Would you wear it? If so, get Rochelle's full look here.

I see many here with the assumption that point shooting is..
A) Not accurate.
B) Takes too long to learn.
C) Requires natural talent to master.
All of which are false assumptions, BTW.
Yes, he found himself in a bad situation, and was taken by surprise.
As any of us can be, especially when coming home with our wives and children.
Body armor?
How many non LEO's are actually going to wear body armor in our day to day lives?
It is a shame that he had no training for this type of reactive situation, since this is the norm--multiples, low light, close range, etc, etc) for the vast majority of gun owners.
PS..the article also states that SA has over 50 murders a day.
And I recently met a SA police officer who told me that they have over 300 cops killed in the line of duty each year.

The federal court judge presiding over VisionAire's Chapter 11 bankruptcy and reorganization apparently found sufficient merit in one or both investment offers the company presented in court on January 9, one a memorandum of agreement and the other a letter of intent, that he granted a continuance until January 21. Chesterfield, Mo.-based VisionAire had until the latter date to show that one of the investors was willing to provide debtor-in-possession financing until the $120 million investment agreement is made final. "We had been working with one of the investor groups for three or four months and the second one just called out of the blue only a week before," CEO Jim Rice, CEO told AIN. Both investment offers would entitle the new investors to about 50-percent equity in the company.
Meanwhile, work on the single-engine, all-composite VA-10 is at a virtual standstill as the company concentrates on obtaining financing. Mark Jones, vice president of communications, estimates it will take about 28 to 30 months from the time financing is secured to move the Vantage through certification to initial deliveries, at which point "the program becomes self sufficient," he said, meaning that additional working capital would not be required. He said the backlog remains "firm," with deposit-backed orders for 60 aircraft, which represents the first year of production.
"VisionAire is the only company out there that has flown a very light jet with a certified engine [the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5]," said Rice, a true and perhaps not insignificant point in light of Eclipse Aviation's decision in late November to cancel its contract with Williams International over problems with the under-development EJ22 engine. Cessna has also selected a not-yet-certified engine, the P&WC PW615F, for its Citation Mustang.
"We'd like to get out of the money-raising business and into the airplane business again," Rice concluded, adding, "and when we do you'll change our double red rating in AIN's "In The Works Crystal Ball" [December 2002, page 68] to something more positive, right?" After that article appeared, Rice wrote to AIN, saying, "I just read your December issue of AIN Online, and found it to be very fair and analytical. I can certainly sense you know the predicament startup aircraft companies find themselves in. Thanks for not 'trashing' those that try to advance the industry with new products."
For the record, if VisionAire secures the financing it is now negotiating, reorganizes and emerges from bankruptcy and the Vantage program makes progress this year, AIN will change its next "Crystal Ball" prediction accordingly.

Durban - People have been running barefoot for centuries and as sculpted running shoes have flooded the sports shoe market, only a few die-hard runners have resisted the tide of advice to cushion their feet from the impact of foot on hard ground.
South Africa's barefoot running sensation, Zola Budd, was noticeable at the 1984 Olympics, not just for her talent and the controversial collision with US athlete Mary Decker, but also because she was running without shoes.
Over the years, several athletes have shone without shoes, but overwhelmingly, runners have followed the advice of the experts that when running, feet need motion control, cushioning and support.
But voices questioning the value of hi-tech support, have got louder, fuelled by the popularity in 2009 of Christopher McDougall's book, Born to Run, which promotes barefoot running.
In the US, The Barefoot Runners Society www.TheBarefootRunners.org), founded in November 2009, has 88 chapters and 4 500 members in various countries, including South Africa, which has a small membership.
Barefoot events, like the US Naked Foot Runs, have sprung up in many countries, with runners participating barefoot or in minimalist shoes (lightweight and with flexible soles).
Advocates of barefoot running claim that modern running shoes cause injuries by preventing the natural movement of feet and legs and argue that running without shoes can actually help to strengthen feet, ankles and lower legs, while also improving balance.
Sceptics argue that many runners have high arches and other foot types that need the cushioned support of a standard running shoe.
The theory behind barefoot running is that the soft raised heel of running shoes encourages you to land on the rear part of your foot, which was not designed to take the kind of force running generates, leading to injuries. By ridding yourself of supports in your shoes, you are forced on to your mid- or forefoot and you begin to run as people have for thousands of years.
McDougall found that becoming a barefoot runner was the answer to his injuries.
"I'd spent years struggling with a variety of running-related injuries, each time trading up to more expensive shoes, which seemed to make no difference," he wrote in an article in the Daily Mail. "I'd lost count of the amount of money I'd handed over at shops and sports-injury clinics – eventually ending with advice from my doctor to give it up and 'buy a bike'."
McDougall's quest for answers, as documented in his book, took him to the Tarahumara tribe in Mexico, the "best long-distance runners in the world", who do two-day ultra marathons with old tyres or leather thongs strapped to their feet – and who suffer virtually no injuries.
He points to the studies of Dr Daniel Lieberman, professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University, who has been studying the "growing injury crisis" in the developed world and who says: "A lot of foot and knee injuries currently plaguing us are caused by people running with shoes that actually make our feet weak, cause us to over-pronate (ankle rotation) and give us knee problems.
"Until 1972, when the modern athletic shoe was invented, people ran in very thin-soled shoes, had strong feet and had a much lower incidence of knee injuries."
As more people questioned whether less support would be better, sports shoe manufacturers stepped up to the plate and the first minimalist running shoes entered the market. They are thought by many to be the next best thing to barefoot running.
Vibram Fivefingers is one such shoe.
"Running barefoot is different," says Alex Hawkins, brand manager for the distributors for Vibram FiveFingers in southern Africa.
"It means landing on your forefoot as opposed to landing on your heel when running in conventional footwear. A good landing should feel gentle, relaxed and compliant. Minimalist footwear encourages a more healthy and more natural forefoot strike which provides the body with its own natural cushioning to run all distances. It is very important to follow a gradual transition training programme from conventional shoes to minimalist shoes."
Durban sports stores say most of the big brands have introduced minimalist shoes.
Inov-8's Bare XF claims to promote a natural running style. adidas says its adipure range progressively takes the heel down to avoid injuries and help develop the runner's ability to transition to "barefoot" running. Nike has brought out Nike Free, contoured to emulate the shape of a bare foot, New Balance has its Minimus shoe – and there are others, too.
Not surprisingly, experts warn against over-simplifying the issue of switching from running with support to barefoot running.
Wayne Holroyd, a physiotherapist at the Centre for Sports Medicine, uMhlanga, has a cautious approach.
"The improvement in running efficiency of barefoot running is due to the fact that barefoot running demands a forefoot or midfoot (flat foot) strike as the uncushioned heel cannot tolerate the impact forces of repetitive heel strikes. This is as opposed to running with shoes where more than 75 percent of runners will run with a heel strike.
"What we are seeing clinically now, is that there is a high incidence of plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonosis and calf strains in those who have adopted a forefoot strike running technique. These are the very injuries that barefoot running was meant to reduce.
"People with foot deformities that affect gait mechanics should avoid barefooting or running in minimal shoes. If you want to change, start off slowly and progress gradually. The vast majority of running injuries that we see, regardless of running style, are as a result of the inability to accurately control the position of the pelvis and hip which then affects the loads on the entire leg and foot. Leg stability training is generally a very good idea for anyone who has suffered a lower limb running injury.
"There have been very few good quality studies investigating the claims of barefoot running. Much of the information in the public domain is purely anecdotal."
Dr Ross Tucker, a research associate in the department of sports medicine at the University of Cape Town, has researched and written about the pros and cons of barefoot running.
"As yet, there is no conclusive evidence that either proves or disproves the benefits of shoes or barefoot running, or links the mechanical characteristics of barefoot running to a reduced risk of injury," he says. "For all the work showing how impact forces and loading rates are reduced when barefoot, it remains to be proven that this leads to lower injury rates.
"There are plenty of theories and some are sound, but we await the real evidence for the injury and performance side of the debate, which will come from long-term prospective studies.
"The evidence so far suggests that barefoot running produces some potentially beneficial changes, mostly related to how running form and kinetics are altered without shoes.
"However, it also points to a potentially large group of people who, when running barefoot, may have increased risk of injury, especially early on – these are people who continue to heel strike when barefoot and who may "force" a forefoot landing, leading to huge strain on the calf muscle and Achilles tendons."
Tucker says the key point is that barefoot running should be recognised as a skill and people do not have the ability to acquire skills equally. Those who do not may be substantially worse off and require much longer to make the adjustments. Whether they should even try is questionable.
"The issue is not necessarily whether barefoot running is 'good for you', but rather whether barefoot running helps us understand anything about how we run that might help us reduce injury risk," he says.
There are big differences between individuals, too. Some adapt quickly to minimalist shoes or barefoot running, and others battle to run without "traditional shoes".
"We have to be careful about generalising the 'extreme' observation – that is the mistake shoe companies made when telling everyone they needed all manner of gadgets in their shoes and it is a mistake people are making now when advocating barefoot running.
"I believe barefoot running will help most runners.
"It may be as part of a training programme where barefoot running helps with the adaptation because it loads differently, activates muscles in different patterns and therefore provides a good training impulse.
"For some, barefoot running, or running in minimalist shoes, will go on to become the 'only way'.
"For others it will remain a training technique and that's fine too. But I would look at incorporating it, just for the training adaptations it provides. Adapting to barefoot running or running in minimalist shoes should take up to 12 weeks to build up to 40 minutes of solid running, plus two to four weeks of preparation.
"It is a long-term investment and if you continue your normal training barefoot, you are pretty much guaranteed to get injured," Tucker says. - Daily News

Hi,There seems to be an error in my script. Go to:http://cos.purple-cow.org/
You'll see it says there's an error in page (but I think only in IE, FF doesn't seem to show it).
Here's what IE has to say about it:Line: 3Char: 1Error: Function expectedCode: 0URL: http://cos.purple-cow.org/
I'm not sure what this means - I'm pretty sure there's no error in the code on line 3!!!??
Can anyone shed any light on it?
I don't get the JS error, I just don't see the images.On the second line of your cos.js file there is this:
var accepted_domains=new Array("cos.purple-cow.org")("purple-cow.org/cos")
Looks a bit wrong to me. Change it to this and see if it helps:
var accepted_domains=new Array("cos.purple-cow.org", "purple-cow.org/cos");
Perfect. So simple

ESPN Insider gives the Sixers a 4 on a scale of 1-5 on their chances of getting Artest:
Willie Green
could be sent to Indiana in a sign-and-trade deal if the Pacers want to
take a chance on his surgically repaired knee, and the Sixers could
combine his salary with that of Kyle Korver ($3.63 million), who would be expendable if Artest came aboard.
Mike Missanelli today on 610 WIP was throwing out the idea of Korver and Steven Hunter for Artest. I would pull the trigger on either of these moves in a second. Korver can shoot, but we all know that is the single thing he is capable of doing. The Sixers need to improve their defense and Artest is one of the best in the game at shutting people down. I like Willie Green, but he is a huge unknown.
Artest wants to go play in his home town of New York and get all cuddly with Larry Brown again so the likelihood of Artest ending up in Philly is pretty small.

Beckham — who is being paid to make weekly trips to promote the sport as China's Global Ambassador for Football — had to cancel yesterday's visit after fans stormed the gates of the Tongji University soccer stadium in Shanghai to catch a glimpse of the retired English soccer star.
Seven people were injured as a wall of security guards and police officers were trampled by the group of over 1,000 students and youngsters.
The whole scenario seems bizarre considering the fact that the 38-year-old, married father-of-four retired in March and the worldwide Beckham craze fizzled out about a decade ago.
Beckham is being paid a small fortune for his three separate week-long tours to lend his clean-cut image to the Chinese league, which is riddled with corruption and foul play.
At Thursday's scrum, one female police officer was carried away with blood streaming from a face wound while another male officer was pictured lying on the ground unconscious with a bloody head wound.
Several delirious fans had to be restrained. In all, five security staff and two fans were injured and taken to hospital.
The event was immediately cancelled.

A Gluten Free Santa Claus
This celiac Santa Claus has brought Christmas joy to the Boulder, Colorado community. He has been responsible for at least $50,000 in donations to the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland.
He displays 21000 Christmas lights in his yard along with numerous inflatable toys. What makes his display unique is that it is connected to three web cams plus other technology that allows his viewers to turn lights on and off and to inflate or deflate his inflatable displays. He invites his viewers to donate to the Center for Celiac Research at The University of Maryland. The donations are entirely voluntary.
Click here to view and to "play with" his displays. This link will take you to a an article describing this unique project and including excellent pictures. I say thank you and Merry Christmas to Alek Komarnitsky, the genius behind this project and the father of two children with celiac disease.
Be sure to have a look at my power page "Gluten Free Christmas" which summarizes everything I have written on the subject.

Fabrizio Lai (32).
Monza, 28th April 2012 The Dellorto CIV Round continued today at Monza, where the starting grids for tomorrow's races were established throughout the afternoon. There are seven race categories and over 140 riders taking part in this third round of the national championship, with tomorrow's racing kicking off at 11.45am. The sessions were full of surprises today, particularly in Superbike where the two local riders Fabrizio Lai and Luca Conforti (both on a Ducati) closed at the top of the timesheets, ahead of the two favourites for pole, current leaders Matteo Baiocco and Gianluca Nannelli.
QUALIFYING RESULTS It was Frenchman Sylvain Barrier (BMW) who secured pole position in the Stock 1000. Racing at Monza as a wildcard entry, his best time set yesterday was enough to take pole position. His time, a 1'45"754 (which he almost repeated today with a 1'45"771), was four tenths quicker than his team-mate, Lorenzo Baroni (BMW), also participating as a wildcard this weekend. Behind them, in order, Alessio Velini (BMW 2R Antonellini by Bargy), Alessio Corradi (Aprilia Nuova M2) and Swedish wildcard Christoffer Bergman (Kawasaki). Championship leader Goi closed seventh.
Riccard Russo's best time of yesterday was also enough to set pole in the Stock 600. The Team Italia FMI (Yamaha) stopped the clock at 1'50"560, proving that he deserves his place at the front. His team-mate Luca Vitali closed just eight hundredths of a second behind and he in turn was followed by Luca Oppedisano. The latter, winner of the Coppa Italia 4T in 2011, continues to improve the feeling he has with the category and the Kawasaki of Team Puccetti and did well to finish inside the top three today. The top five is completed by Casalotti (Yamaha Team Riviera) and Sabatino (Yamaha Prorace).
A local pairing dominated over in the Superbike category. Milanese rider Fabrizio Lai and Luca Conforti, from Brescia, stood out today; Lai improved on his best time set yesterday by almost two seconds, putting his Ducati, prepared by Team Althea Racing by Echo, on pole with a time of 1'43"680. "I'm really happy with this lap time, achieved at my home track and in front of a home crowd", said Lai. "How will the race go? I think we'll see three Ducatis up front, regardless of whether the track is wet or dry." Three tenths of a second behind him was Team Barni rider Conforti, who did well to close ahead of his team-mate and current champion Matteo Baiocco. Baiocco, third, finished ahead of Ivan Clementi (BMW Asia Competition) and his closest rival in the standings, Gianluca Nannelli (Ducati Grandi Corse).
Kevin Calia set the fastest time in Moto3. On a track at which he always performs well, he projected his Honda, prepared by Team Elle2 Ciatti, to the top of the timesheets with a 2'01"309 set yesterday. The winner of the Mugello race, Matteo Ferrari (Honda San Carlo Junior) and Agostino Santoro, Honda rider for Team Imperiali Racing, were over two seconds behind. Rinaldi (Oral M3 Gabrielli Team Italia) and Valtulini (Honda Imperiali Racing) complete the top five. In the 125 Gp, the fastest of the riders over the two sessions was Andrea Mantovani (Aprilia), who recorded an impressive 2'01"687 today. One of CIV's young talents he improved on his best time set yesterday by almost two seconds. Behind him, championship leader Riccardo Moretti (on the Indian Mahindra), the Aprilia of O.R. by 2B Corse Zack M. Ridden by youngster Lorenzo Dalla Porta and the other Aprilia, ridden by Simone Mazzola, for team GT Racing Publisport. Carpi and Calgaro closed fourth and fifth, also on board Aprilia machines.
Stefano Cruciani, riding with team Kawasaki Puccetti Racing, set pole in Supersport thanks to a time of 1'49"348. He took advantage of a strong set up to close four tenths in front of Dino Lombardi (Yamaha Team Pata by Martini), finally competitive in the national championship and able to finish ahead of team-mate Ilario Dionisi (Honda Scuderia Improve). The timesheets predict that Mirko Giansanti (Kawasaki) and Lorenzo Segoni (Suzuki), fourth and fifth today, may also be in the mix for a podium finish tomorrow.
The Moto2 category was also very competitive on the fast Monza track today. Current champion Alessandro Andreozzi (Andreozzi R.C.) closed in third place on the overall Moto2-Supersport timesheets and was first in his class thanks to a time of 1'49"810. Three tenths behind him was Danish rider Robbin Harms (Bimota Edo Racing) and Ferruccio Lamborghini (Quarantaquattro Racing), who will fight it out with Andreozzi for the win tomorrow.
UBBIALI IN THE HALL OF FAME today saw Carlo Ubbiali enter the CIV Hall Of Fame: the former rider, who is now over 80 years old, was nine times world champion and enters the CIV hall of fame for having won six national 125 titles with MV and Mondial and two 250 titles with MV. He took to the stage at the Pirelli CIVillage, to the sound of applause from the crowd, to receive the official certificate and celebrative painting from Cristiano Migliorati. "Nine world titles and eight national titles? Only a few, but good ones, I can say I've won something", joked the Italian, nicknamed "Volpe" (the Fox) for his winning race tactics. "Thanks to the FMI and the Hall of Fame I was able to come back today and see some friends and the bikes and I'm really happy. In my day, with the 250 bikes here at Monza, we'd do an average of 184km/h"¦ but without tight turns. Today you race much faster but thankfully there is more safety too, thanks to great development from a mechanical point of view."
PIT-WALK FOR ALL From about 1pm the public will be able to take part in the PitWalk and experience the atmosphere of the garage just a few minutes before the start of a race. This gives fans the chance to take photographs of the bike and pick up gadgets distributed by the various teams and riders. On Saturday and Sunday (at the Ascari corner) the Demo Ride initiative will give fans the chance to book and carry out a test ride with their favourite bike.
LIVE TV AND INTERNET On Sunday live coverage will begin at 11.30am on Nuvolari (ch. 144 Sky and Digital Terrestrial) with the Stock 600 and Stock 1000 races while on Sportitalia 2 (ch. 226 Sky and Digital Terrestrial) the Superbike, 125 Gp/Moto3 and Supersport/Moto2 races will kick off from 1.50pm. The Monza round will also have good coverage abroad thanks to Motors TV (with coverage of the event across Europe) and TenSports, the Indian television channel that will broadcast the 125/Moto3 category. The racing is also broadcast on the Internet, in live streaming, on the CIV website (
) in collaboration with Sportube.tv.
SCHEDULE Tomorrow racing will get underway with the Stock 600 at 11.45, followed by the other six categories. The final Supersport-Moto2 race will start at 3.40pm. Combined grandstand-paddock tickets cost 19 euro (or 15 euros for the under 18's and FMI cardholders).

Kerry Telephone Number ChangesTelecom Eireann has introduced a new system for phone numbers in Kerry, (and other areas of Ireland). After the 66 area code for Ireland, we now have to insert a new two digit code, then the phone number. Different phone numbers will have different 2 digit numbers to enter.
Example, for the Kerry County Library, Moyderwell, Tralee
Old Tel: 066-21200
Here are all the new 2 digit number changes for Kerry;
66 + 71 + phone #s that begin with 2, 3, 4, or 8
(Thanks to Kerry Katefor the information; see: KerryRoutes/Lost Trails!)
Bishop of Kerry Permission and Church Tel #sKerry Researchers please note: Roman Catholic Parish Records (writing to the Bishop)
All births, marriages and deaths occurring since 1864 (and Church of Ireland marriages occurring since 1 April 1845) should be on record in the General Register Office, 8-11 Lombard Street East, Dublin 2.
For the period before 1864 PARISH REGISTERS provide the only record of most births, marriages and deaths. Catholic parish registers are normally still held by the local parish priest, but there are microfilms of most of them for the period up to 1880 in the National Library, Kildare Street, Dublin 2. In some cases (Kerry) the written permission of the Bishop must be obtained before the microfilms can be seen. The National Archives has a copy of the National Library's list of the registers.
Written permission of the Bishop In Kerry required if you want to research in the National Library in Dublin what they have on Kerry Catholic Records. You may write, telephone or fax to this address who will then fax the National Library in Dublin where microfilm of the parishes are held:
Most Rev. William Murphy, D.D., Bishop of
Note: If you are going to Dublin and wish to research in Kerry, allow enough time for the permission to reach the National Library. Be as specific as possible with the parish or area.
A fellow researcher wrote this: "I received a letter from his Diocesan Secretary, Rev. Gearoid Walsh with permission to look at the microfilm (but only for the specific parishes I listed) at the National Library in Dublin, but not the original records in parishes. The National Library will take the letter from you, so make a copy for your records."
You can make and appointment to visit the local parish priest and ask to view actual records but please remember this is completely at discretion of parish priest. If you do visit please think about leaving a donation in appreciation for his valuable time as the parish priest in Ireland has a heavy load and they are spread very thin.

Convents; 18th Century Religious OrdersA Kerry researcher offered this for information: "I wrote to the Librarian at the Kerry County Library, Moyderwell, Tralee requesting information on religious orders who would have been in existence in the late 19th century. My request, along with my check, was forwarded to:
Ms. Marie Ó Sullivan, MA Researcher
Killarney Genealogical Centre
Cathedral Walk, Killarney.
Ms. Ó Sullivan did respond quickly with the following information some of which may be helpful to other Kerry families.
There were three orders of Nuns with convents in Kerry, The Presentation Sisters, the Mercy Sisters and the Loreto Sisters. Ms. Ó Sullivan contacted all three groups.
The Presentation Sisters* said that you would have to contact each Convent separately. They have convents at Castleisland, Tralee, Killarney, Listowel, Dingle, Milltown and Caherciveen.

Census Substitutes & FHS/LDS FilmsAs a kind of substitute for the lost census records for 1800s Ireland, genealogists are dependant on the following records (remember, were made for other reasons than genealogy;Tax Valuation and Church Tithes) which will not list all family members but maybe able to help you locate heads of households by surname in townlands and parishes:
For the 1800's there are 3 sets of records which cover the whole of the Island of Ireland: Griffith's Valuations, the Tithe Applotments, and the Householder's Index which indexes the two. All of which are rentable from the *LDS- *FHCs
(1) 1845 - 1864 Griffiths Valuations was a taxation program. The first or Primary Valuation began in 1845 in the extreme southern Irish counties where they mapped the land and registered not only the property owner, but the property occupier as well. It was from this Valuation that early Ordnance Survey Maps were created (or visa versa) It ended in the north in 1864.

The Householders Index2) Combines both Griffith's Valuations and the Tithe Applotments in an index by surname only. Especially helpful for those WHO DO NOT HAVE A COMMON SURNAME... Or if you have a county but dont know a parish.... or know a parish but not the townland. Remember family members not listed, just heads of households.
Griffiths will show up as G2 meaning there are 2 entries for the surname in Griffiths. If there were 15 entries in Griffith , the listing would show G15.
Whether there is one entree records won't give you much in the way of family information but it is a way to place the location of your surname all over Ireland. If the Tithe is available for that parish it will have a T but will not indicate how many by that surname as in G2 or G15.
The Householders Index with their LDS film numbers:
Antrim Armagh, Carlow, Cavan LDS film # 0919001;
LDS- FHC Parish Maps including townlands within them; fiche numbers:TITLE: Irish townland maps. MAPS scales vary.
It is the intention of this series to show, on a county basis, all townlands within their respective civil parishes. To 1898, the civil parish was the major administrative division. The two great surveys of the 19th century - the tithe assessment and the Griffiths valuation - were compiled on this basis with householders listed by their townland address. Use the index at the beginning of each county to identify the parish you need. Beside each map is a list of each parish's constituent townlands.

They are staffed with volunteers waiting to help you out... they have computerized data of vital records, other peoples posted genealogies and a catalogue with all their holdings listed.

Enumeration districts are listed in numerical order, not alphabetical order, so you must scan through the pages to find the townland you want. Townlands are listed in alphabetical order under each district. To the left of each townland name is its census number; at the top of the page is the enumeration district number.

Maura's Helpful Hints:Thanks to Maura (email@example.com ) for all her wonderful help and for providing this information!:
To locate a birth marriage or death from the time of civil registration in Ireland use the following guide at your local FHC use these numbers to find the films in the CD catalog
Birth records 1864 - 1955
Marriage records 1864 - 1870
Deaths 1864-1921
what this means is if you find the vol and page # for a year which there is a _filmed_ book for, you can order that film from the FHC and search the book yourself.
If you find something for which there is no filmed book, you can write to the GRO in Dublin, give them the vol and page #, enclose the equivalent of L1.5 Irish (about $2.30 US) and they will send you a photocopy of just that entry -- takes about a month. I usually get about 10 that I want and send for them at the same time.... with common names you won't know if they are yours or not til you see the record, but I found my gr/gr/grandfather's death that way and it's not hard to do. This is just for photocopies, actual certificates cost more, and take longer, but I wouldn't order those unless you are SURE the person is yours and you need it for some reason, for plain genealogy research a photocopy is all you need.

matlab mxcreatestructarray函数语法发表matlab mxcreatestructarray函数相关文章
mxCreateStructArray (C and Fortran)
N-D structure array
C Syntax
#include "matrix.h" mxArray *mxCreateStructArray(mwSize ndim, const mwSize *dims, int nfields, const char **fieldnames);
Fortran Syntax
mwPointer mxCreateStructArray(ndim, dims, nfields, fieldnames) mwSize ndim mwSize dims(ndim) integer*4 nfields character*(*) fieldnames(nfields)
- ndim
Number of dimensions. If you set ndim to be less than 2, mxCreateStructArray creates a two-dimensional mxArray.
- dims
Dimensions array. Each element in the dimensions array contains the size of the array in that dimension. For example, in C, setting dims[0] to 5 and dims[1] to 7 establishes a 5-by-7 mxArray. In Fortran, setting dims(1) to 5 and dims(2) to 7 establishes a 5-by-7 mxArray. Typically, the dims array should have ndim elements.
- nfields
Number of fields in each element
- fieldnames
List of field names
Each structure field name must begin with a letter and is case sensitive. The rest of the name may contain letters, numerals, and underscore characters. Use the namelengthmax function to determine the maximum length of a field name.
Pointer to the created mxArray, if successful. If unsuccessful in a standalone (non-MEX-file) application, returns NULL in C (0 in Fortran). If unsuccessful in a MEX-file, the MEX-file terminates and returns control to the MATLAB® prompt. The function is unsuccessful when there is not enough free heap space to create the mxArray.
Call mxCreateStructArray to create an unpopulated structure mxArray. Each element of a structure mxArray contains the same number of fields (specified in nfields). Each field has a name; the list of names is specified in fieldnames. A MATLAB structure mxArray is conceptually identical to an array of structs in the C language.
Each field holds one mxArray pointer. mxCreateStructArray initializes each field to NULL in C (0 in Fortran). Call mxSetField or mxSetFieldByNumber to place a non-NULL mxArray pointer in a field.
When you finish using the returned structure mxArray, call mxDestroyArray to reclaim its space.
Any trailing singleton dimensions specified in the dims argument are automatically removed from the resulting array. For example, if ndim equals 5 and dims equals [4 1 7 1 1], the resulting array is given the dimensions 4-by-1-by-7.
See the following examples in matlabroot/extern/examples/mx.

When the Irma and Paul Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life re-opened to the public in 2003, the newly renovated gallery was transformed: 14 dioramas, some first built in the 1930s, had been restored, and brand-new ecosystem displays highlighted the diversity of ocean habitats and the species that lived together within them. The blue-whale model, on display since 1969, was renovated, too.

Celiac.com 06/21/2013 - Caroline, a third-grader at St. Pius school in Chicago her mother, Cassandra, both have celiac disease.
After being formally diagnosed at the Celiac Disease Center at the University of Chicago, they each received care package that contained "…lots of gluten free foods, as well as tons of literature about eating gluten free," said Cassandra. "Caroline's care package had a stuffed animal in it," she added.
The university's care package program is funded solely by donations, and this knowledge, along with Caroline's appreciation, led to a desire to support the Celiac Disease Center.
Cassandra credits Caroline with a plan to make and sell pony tail holders with ribbons. Caroline made the holders herself, and sold them for $4.00 each, collecting over one hundred dollars in the process.
Caroline specifically "wanted the money to be used to send another little girl or boy a care package and stuffed animal," said Cassandra.
Caroline proudly announced her efforts and presented the money at her at her annual appointment with Dr. Stefano Guandalini, founder of the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center.
Dr. Guandalini was "so appreciative and proud of her efforts," beamed Cassandra. "His kind words to her made our day, and Caroline left feeling great about giving back!"
Principal Daniel Flaherty called Caroline a "…great example for all of us here at St. Pius X Parish School."

Also I have to less knowledge about wiki and access controlling. It shouldn't be so easy for everybody to read our internal stuff. It's ok, when somebody read the archive (he has to know, how to find the stuff there). Think to donation reports that the leaders will make every quartal or every year. I don't want this numbers at a wiki, where everybody easily can read how many money we have. An access controlled "only internal" wiki would be ok, but what about "hacking" a wiki? For votes wiki could make sense but therefor there will be single other tools outside and also we are all programmers, therefor we could code a quick programm on our own. :) Susanne

Giro Savant Road Helmet - 2017The Savant bike helmet is a pure blend of race-bred style and unmatched value. The lightweight and durable In-Mold shell, the impressive airflow of 25 Wind Tunnel vents, and the adjustable retention of the Roc Loc 5 pave the way riders who want serious performance and competitive looks without the high price tag.
- In-Mold construction reinforces the area around the vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton, which allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable and better ventilated than traditional designs
- 25 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channels thrust cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing heat and stale air out
- Quite possibly the best-fitting retention system you've ever experienced, the Roc Loc 5 easily adjusts both fit tension and vertical position with a single hand, plus it's 40% lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4

A closer look at the data on households that pay no income tax contains some surprises – including a few surprises for Mitt Romney, apparently.
For example, Mr. Romney complained in the undercover video that the 47% who pay no income taxes will generally line up with President Barack Obama. "The president…starts off with a huge number" of supporters, Mr. Romney says. "These are the people who pay no income tax – 47% of Americans pay no income tax."[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="Taxes" category="" ]
But more than 40% of households between $30,000 and $40,000 paid no income tax in 2011, according to a recent study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. About 30% of households in the $40,000 to $50,000 income range had no income tax liability in 2011. And according to the new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, the $30,000-$50,000 income group actually represents the only slice of the U.S. income spectrum where Mr. Romney has a lead.
A lot of benefit recipients – including seniors as well as military veterans – also tend to support Republicans in many cases, despite Mr. Romney's complaints about people who are dependent on government benefits. Robert Reischauer, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, said Mr. Romney's comments probably reflected a "misunderstanding of the facts."
That said, Mr. Reischauer said he shares the concern that the base of people paying the federal income tax has become too narrow. "I think we're going to have to ask a broader segment of the American population…to contribute more if we're going to resolve the deficit problem we face," he said.
The percentage of households paying no income tax drops sharply after around $50,000, but there are still a few households that pay no income tax, even in the high-income range. About 1% of households with cash income of more than $1 million, 4,000 in all, paid no income tax.
Another interesting thing in the TPC data is how different tax breaks benefit different income groups. Tax breaks that push the elderly off the income-tax rolls are largely crowded in the $10,000-$30,000 income group. Tax breaks for children really benefit households in the $20,000-$40,000 range. Itemized deductions really help folks in the $50,000-$75,000 range.

ALLEGAN COUNTY, MI -- Police are asking for the public's help to find patrol rifle that has gone missing from an Allegan County sheriff's deputy's patrol car.
The rifle, a Colt .223 in a black nylon case, was last seen Monday morning when it was being transferred from one patrol car to another at the end of a shift. The deputies were behind the Wayland police station at the time.
A deputy reported the weapon missing on Thursday when he reported to work and could not find it in his patrol car.
Anyone with information about the rifle is asked to call Silent Observer at 1-855-745-3686, the Allegan County Sheriff's Office at 269-673-0500, the Wayland Police Dept. at 269-792-366.
Silent Observer is offering a reward for information that leads to the recovery of the rifle.
