News briefs (April 26, 2012) |
Political stakes rise in fight over student loans as both sides see chance to show priorities
WASHINGTON (AP)— Democrats and Republicans alike say they want to prevent the cost of federal loans from ballooning for millions of students. But the effort has evolved into an election-year battle each side is using to embarrass the other and spotlight its own priorities to voters.
In the latest political chess move, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, scheduled a House vote for Friday on legislation preventing the 3.4 percent interest rate on subsidized Stafford student loans from doubling as scheduled on July 1. In a bitter pill for Democrats, the measure's $5.9 billion cost would be paid for with cuts from President Barack Obama's health care overhaul bill.
Boehner announced the vote in an abruptly called news conference Wednesday that followed days of pounding by Obama and congressional Democrats. It also came two days after the GOP's presumptive presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, tried defusing the issue by embracing the call for freezing interest rates, putting more pressure on congressional Republicans to back the effort or look isolated.
"What Washington shouldn't be doing is exploiting the challenges that young Americans face for political gain," Boehner said. He also accused the president of "campaigning and trying to invent a fight where there isn't and never has been one."
Congressional GOP aides said Republicans were working on the legislation for some time and unveiled their bill to try to prevent Obama from escalating the dispute. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss party strategy.
US could soon see about-face over how it confronts illegal immigration
PHOENIX (AP) — The United States could see an official about-face in the coming months in how it confronts illegal immigration if the Supreme Court follows through on its suggestion that it would let local police enforce the most controversial part of Arizona's immigration law.
Over the last several years, states frustrated with America's porous borders, have rejected the long held notion that Washington is responsible for confronting illegal immigration and have passed a flurry of laws to let local police confront illegal immigration. The Supreme Court is poised in the coming months to let the states know whether they haven't crossed the line.
The justices strongly suggested Wednesday that they are ready to let Arizona enforce the most controversial part of its law, a requirement that police officers check the immigration status of people they suspect are in the country illegally. Such a ruling could codify the type of local enforcement that some local authorities in Arizona have carried out over the last six years and open the door to such enforcement in states with similar laws, such as Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah.
"I think you'll see more involvement by local police in immigration enforcement, an involvement that hadn't previously been seen," Kevin Johnson, law school dean at the University of California-Davis and an expert in immigration law, said of the possibility of Arizona's law being upheld.
The most controversial parts of the Arizona law were put on hold by a federal judge shortly before they were to take effect in late July 2010, but the statute has encouraged other states to take up similar legislation and — combined with other state immigration laws and an ailing economy — played a part in 170,000 illegal immigrants leaving Arizona since 2007.
Pakistan's top court convicts prime minister of contempt over presidential graft case
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Supreme Court convicted Pakistan's prime minister of contempt on Thursday but spared him a prison term for refusing to reopen a corruption case against his boss, the president, leaving the premier in power but facing fresh calls to resign.
The ruling against Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani added to political uncertainty and tensions between the government and the court, effectively crippling an administration that has shown little will to tackle the economic and security challenges facing the country.
Thursday's hearing had been widely anticipated by opponents of Gilani and President Asif Ali Zardari, who were hoping the Supreme Court would sentence the prime minister to prison and order his immediate dismissal from office. That would have triggered a major political crisis, brought criticism on the court and could have benefited Gilani and Zardari electorally by making them martyrs in the eyes of their supporters.
Gilani is the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Pakistan, where civilian governments have repeatedly been toppled by the country's powerful military, often with the support of the Supreme Court, which critics allege is heavily politicized. Corruption charges have routinely been used to target those in power, or seeking to return.
Gilani's conviction in a court of law means there are now grounds to initiate dismissal proceedings, which involves the speaker of the parliament and the election commission. It could take up to four months and be fiercely contested every step of the way.
Beleaguered beef industry avoids widespread market scare over mad cow case with quick response
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The announcement that mad cow disease was spotted in a California cow drew a rapid response this week from the beleaguered American beef industry, which has been enduring one crisis after another for more than a year.
First, a severe drought in the Southwest cut cattle herd numbers to their lowest level in more than 60 years. Then an intense controversy erupted over a common type of filler known as "pink slime," hurting ground beef sales. The industry was just regaining its footing when the word of the mad cow discovery came Tuesday.
"They say things happen in threes, so hopefully this is the last one," said Buck Wehrbein, who manages a feeding operation in Mead, Neb.
The infected dairy cow, only the fourth ever discovered in the United States, was found as part of an Agriculture Department program that tests about 40,000 cows a year for the fatal brain disease. The animal apparently acquired the infection from a random mutation, not from eating infected cattle feed.
It was the first new case of mad cow disease in the U.S. since 2006 and came just as beef exports were finally recovering from an outbreak in 2003. With billions of dollars at risk, the USDA and other government officials responded quickly, explaining that consumers were never at risk because none of the animal's meat was bound for the food supply.
Analysts say new missiles displayed by N. Korea are sloppy fakes, show no sign of advancement
TOKYO (AP) — Analysts who have studied photos of a half-dozen ominous new North Korean missiles showcased recently at a lavish military parade say they were fakes, and not very convincing ones, casting further doubt on the country's claims of military prowess.
Since its recent rocket launch failure, Pyongyang'stop military leaders have made several boastful statements about its weapons capabilities. On Wednesday, Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho claimed his country is capable of defeating the United States "at a single blow." And on Monday, North Korea promised "special actions" that would reduceSeoul's government to ashes within minutes.
But the weapons displayed April 15 appear to be a mishmash of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel components that could never fly together. Undulating casings on the missiles suggest the metal is too thin to withstand flight. Each missile was slightly different from the others, even though all were supposedly the same make. They don't even fit the launchers they were carried on.
"There is no doubt that these missiles were mock-ups," Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker, of Germany'sSchmucker Technologie, wrote in a paper posted recently on the website Armscontrolwonk.com that listed those discrepancies. "It remains unknown if they were designed this way to confuse foreign analysts, or if the designers simply did some sloppy work."
The missiles, called KN-08s, were loaded onto the largest mobile launch vehicles North Korea has ever unveiled. Pyongyang gave them special prominence by presenting them at the end of the parade, which capped weeks of celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the country's founding father, Kim Il Sung.
After birds strike 2 planes, senator proposes allowing goose kills at NY wildlife refuge
NEW YORK (AP) — The problem of birds living near some of the nation's busiest airports is coming under renewed scrutiny after two emergency landings in a week and more than three years after the famous ditching of a jetliner in the Hudson River.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Wednesday proposed making it easier to round up geese from a federal refuge near Kennedy Airport and kill them, an idea that's meeting opposition from wildlife advocates.
A JetBlue plane bound for West Palm Beach, Fla., made an emergency landing at Westchester County Airport north of New York City on Tuesday. A Los Angeles-bound jet made an emergency landing at Kennedy Airport after a bird strike on the right engine a week ago.
No one was hurt, but Grant Cardone, a sales training consultant who was on the flight out of Kennedy and was filming video from his window in seat 1D as the birds hit the plane, said it was scary.
"I felt like the plane was going to roll over on its right side," Cardone said. "Those five or six seconds were terrifying."
Yemeni officials: Yes to more US anti-al-Qaida aid, but no to drone strikes on large groups
WASHINGTON (AP) — Yemeni officials want more U.S. counterterrorism aid, including drone strikes and more U.S. militarytrainers and advisers, to fight a growing threat from al-Qaida, Yemeni officials said late Wednesday.
But Yemen rejected a CIA and U.S. military request to expand the use of drone strikes to target groups of fighters who appear to be militants, the officials said.
Currently, U.S. counterterrorism forces are limited to striking clearly identified individuals with known links to al-Qaida. The White House approves who goes on the target list, after a lengthy, legal vetting process at the Pentagon and the CIA, and the Yemeni government approves each strike, Yemeni and U.S. officials say.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive strategic matters.
U.S. officials say the CIA and U.S. military had asked the White House for permission to target larger groups if intelligence points to al-Qaida-related activity. Such hits are known as "signature strikes," used by the CIA against militant targets in Pakistan's tribal regions. Officials reached Wednesday night said the White House had not yet informed them of their decision. White House officials could not be reached for comment.
Suspicion, confusion swirl around rules governing content on Google's online storage service
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google is already facing spasms of suspicion and confusion as it tries to persuade people to entrust their personal documents, photos and other digital content to the company's new online storage service.
That became apparent shortly after Tuesday's release of the long-awaited Google Drive service. Before the day was over, technology blogs and Twitter users were picking apart a legal clause that made it sound as if all the users' content stored in Google Drive automatically would become the intellectual property of Google Inc.
That could have meant authors writing their next novels and employees collaborating on spreadsheets with confidential data would find all that suddenly belonging to Google.
As it turns out, the worries are probably unfounded.
The language is actually standard legalese to give Google the licensing rights that it needs to deliver on the services that users request.

He's no PeytonProjecting QB success is tough, but Eli Manning doesn't measure upPosted: Wednesday March 3, 2004 11:55AM; Updated: Wednesday March 3, 2004 4:19PM
It's always tougher to judge a player when you're rooting for him. You exaggerate both the good and the bad. So my evaluation of Eli Manning might be a little tougher than that of most people because I've pulled for him in every game in which I've seen him play, mainly because I like the family, and also because I first met Eli when he was a little kid. Therefore, I have to say that there's a lot about his game that makes me nervous. I like the way he delivers the ball when he's comfortable in the pocket, but I don't think he handles the rush well. I don't see the same analytical approach to the game that his brother had at the same stage of his career, and what bothers me most about Eli is that he doesn't seem to elevate his performance when the pressure is greatest. I've seen him almost fall apart at times. Now if you tell me I'm nuts, and the kid's got Pro Bowl written all over him, I won't argue, mainly because there are so few people who can analyze this position. It's just like in Bordeaux, when so-called experts try to analyze the young wines in the barrel. "There are about a dozen people who can taste the wines in the wood and predict what they will turn into," Pierre Tari, the owner of Chateau Giscours in Margaux once told me. "That's all these people do, go around and analyze your wines for you. We can't even do it. And yet here are all these American wine writers coming over and doing all that serious predicting. We humor them because they're good for business." And the greatest mistakes are made in football by those who would predict the future of young QBs in the wood. I had it right on Ryan Leaf vs. Peyton Manning. I didn't like Leaf's decision-making and the way he handled himself in the biggest game of his collegiate career, the 1998 Rose Bowl loss to Michigan, no matter how much arm strength he had. But I had a lot to make up for, after blowing it completely on Dan Marino, remarking, on TV no less, that his mechanics were wrong and he pushed the ball. The quarterback who excited me most coming out of college in the last 20 years was Eric Zeier of Georgia. And I thought George Mira of Miami was an absolute passing phenom. So don't worry, all you Eli Manning fans. Old Z isn't always on the money. Follow the leader?The lesson of the New England Patriots was absorbed, admired and respectfully noted, and now, as free-agency madness takes over, it will be forgotten. The lesson is that you don't need superstars to make a championship team, you need the right kind of people, who are willing to fit into their perfect role-playing niche (plus, of course, a terrific quarterback). The problem is that doing it New England's way requires real football savvy in the personnel department, and not many people can match the Patriots' Scott Pioli and Bill Belichick in this area. It's much easier to go the Daniel Snyder route and grab up anyone with a big name, past or present. So I'm wondering who will pull a Snyder and grab Terrell Owens, assuming he breaks loose from the 49ers. If ever a guy was a coach-breaker, a cancer on the team, it's Owens. The problem is that he can break up a game, too, which can blind you to the fact that this guy causes more problems than he solves. I've never met him, but watching the way Maurice Clarett handles himself, I'd say he's headed in the same direction. When's the last time this kid thought about anybody except No. 1? Trade analysisKeyshawn for Joey Galloway? I'll take Keyshawn. Even though he was inactive for the last six games last season, he still caught 11 more balls than Galloway did. Sure, Galloway can go deep, and the announcers are always telling us how he opens up the field for everybody else, but where was the production? Thirty-four catches for two TDs won't do it. The Cowboys lined up with two flyers, Galloway and Terry Glenn, and that didn't work. Besides, Bill Parcells is partial to Glenn, whom he had in New England. He also loves Keyshawn, not so much for his pass-catching as his ability to provide serious blocking off the edge, which is so much a part of Parcells' offense. When Keyshawn was a Jet, under Parcells, he was absolutely vicious at it, going after linebackers and even defensive ends. I didn't see it so much in Tampa Bay, but maybe the Bucs didn't ask him to do it. Parcells will. On paper, he would seem to fall into the classic role of possession receiver to go with Glenn's burst downfield, but I think the Cowboys might have a problem there, if KJ drops as many balls as he did in the past two years. Even with the drops, I still like him better than Galloway. Clinton Portis for Champ Bailey? I like Portis. They're both superstars, but I see holes and inconsistencies in Bailey's game, especially in the tackling department, that I don't with Portis. I think he's one of the three or four best runners in football, and he's on the upside. If Mike Shanahan feels he can get the same production out of 5-foot-7, 195-pound Quentin Griffin, God bless him. But it's a long season and little guys wear down. In defense of the trade, though, I will say that it's a lot harder to find cornerbacks than running backs, and in this era of the multiple-wideout sets, two of them won't do it. You need three. Invitation onlyThe Senior Bowl seems to be going the way of the Combine. The players just aren't attending. Pretty soon scouting will involve a series of private auditions, by invitation only. ... To me one of the most interesting personnel decisions this offseason will involve Kurt Warner. My Rams spies tell me that the guy just can't play anymore. And yet the last thing we heard from him was that the coaches didn't like him because of his religious beliefs. Oh, brother. ... On the subject, did you see the Mel Gibson movie yet? Well, I didn't, and until I do I can't offer a comment. What's that you say? "No Comment" never has been my style. You're right. My comment is that one thing the movie has done is produce the most poorly written reviews I've ever read. Pro or con, they read like the kind of editorials I used to write when I was a sophomore in high school. ...
Latest mailer from the Hall of Fame involves the preliminary nomination list for the class of 2005. It's labeled "Confidential." If I'd have come up with a list of names like this one, I'd be ashamed, too, and label it confidential. I don't want to get canned as a selector, so I can't reveal this roster, but I don't think it would be a major transgression to mention only one name. Under wide receiver -- Preston Roell. I know I'm losing brain cells through old age, and this did strike a gong somewhere way offstage, but gosh ... Preston Roell? So I looked it up in my Total Football. No listing. So I called the Hall of Fame. It was entered wrong. The guy is Roell Preston, who caught only 30 passes for five different teams during a five-year career, but who averaged 26.3 yards per kick return for the Packers in 1998, which got him into the Pro Bowl. And that fleeting honor earned him a spot on the first of three, count 'em, preliminary lists put out by the Hall. Oh sure, I remember Roell Preston now. He was, uh, fast, and um, shifty, too, but I'm afraid he's not going to be voted into the Hall of Fame, at least not on this ballot. Fans, you, too, can get your own Roell Preston on a preliminary list. How? By writing to the Hall of Fame on nice, neat paper that's not torn at the edges. I'll even provide the address: 2121 George Halas Drive N.W., Canton, Ohio 44708. Sports Illustrated senior writer Paul Zimmerman covers the NFL for the magazine and SI.com.

Opinion invalidated.
It is one of the most beloved shows by the British public and even the lesser thought of Colin and Sylv eras will be remembered long after the vile Top Gear is forgotten. One of the reasons New Who hasn't alienated its fandom as much as JJ Abrams Trek has is that it has almost always gone out of its way to maintain continuity with and show respect the old show. There's no patronising "This isn't your daddy's Doctor Who!" attitude. The people making the show clearly love the classic series. Last edited by DalekJim; April 5 2013 at 07:44 PM. |

Re: 50th Anniversary Story Official Thread
And every time, I stop watching a few episodes in. It's much the same for old Who. I remember watching Pertwee and both Baker's as a child on PBS with some enthusiasm, but I never get more than a few minutes into a given serial before I have the unrelenting urge to harm myself. It's stiff, uninteresting and abysmally produced. I understand that there is a certain cult following, much as there is a certain segment of fandom that enjoys enduring Babylon 5, but I don't understand why. As I grow older, it seems, I am far less willing to suffer through something simply because it's 'sci-fi.' It has to engage with me with more than just nostalgia. NuWho is kinetic, fun and occasionally touching. It brings me back to Saturday morning cartoons without pandering directly to the intended audience of 10-year-old boys. It's a joy and a treat. Old Who is just a slog and life's just too short.
Some say that he was the first choice to play the new Doctor but turned it down when he was barred from putting racing stripes on the TARDIS. All we know is, he's called The Stig. |

Re: 50th Anniversary Story Official Thread
I personally would love to see Tom Baker or Peter Davison appear but I can see merit in the argument that they and Colin look too old to reprise the roles, Time Crash aside. I hope that at the least they'll be invited for voiceover work, or even to play non-Doctor roles. Of course, as I've said elsewhere, Matt Smith said to Jonathan Ross, when asked to describe this story in one word, 'pictures.' That could mean we'll see pictures of the older Doctors. But I can't help wondering if there'll be some sort of Dorian Gray aspect to the story. Portraits, probably holographic, of the earlier Doctors in the TARDIS, which age, even as the incumbent remains young and vital. Could this be a way of having Tom, Peter and Colin back on board? Beyond that, anything is a bonus and the other issue is how crowded a storyline is going to get with so many Doctors appearing. I suppose it's possible that the actors playing Hartnell and Troughton for the Adventures in Time and Space movie could also play the First and Second Doctors here too, though I know many of you don't like that idea (with it being a 50th special, I do think the First Doctor needs to be represented somehow).

Even if Ten/Eleven is all we get from an actual Doctor perspective, I'm still hoping we might get a classic companion. There'd certainly be no issues over them looking too old because most of them didn't die, they just left the Tardis, so it doesn't matter that Ace/Leela/Tegan/Turlough or whoever look older/fatter/thinner/greyer, whatever. I think it's a given that, were she still with us, Elisabeth Sladen would have been in this

Born in Belarus in 1887, Marc Chagall was a French painter, printmaker and designer associated with several major artistic styles, synthesizing elements of Cubism, Symbolism and Fauvism. One work in particular, I and the Village (1911), pre-dated Surrealism as an artistic expression of psychic reality. An early modernist, Chagall created works in nearly every artistic medium, including sets for plays and ballets, biblical etchings, and stained-glass windows. Chagall died in France in 1985. Today,
he is widely regarded as one of the most successful artists of the 20th century.
Early Years
Marc Chagall was born on July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Belarus (in the Russian Empire), and was raised in a devoutly Jewish environment with eight other siblings. His father worked in a fish warehouse, and his mother ran a shop where she sold fish and sundry baking supplies. As a child, Chagall attended heder (Jewish elementary school) and later went to public school, where lessons were taught in Russian.
After learning the elements of drawing at school, from 1907 to 1910, Chagall studied painting in St. Petersburg at the Imperial Society for the Protection of the Arts, eventually under stage designer Léon Bakst. A characteristic work from this early period is "The Dead Man" (1908), a painting that depicts a violinist (a recurring image for the artist) amid a nightmarish rooftop scene.
Chagall moved to Paris in 1910, and then moved into a studio on the edge of town in a Bohemian area known as La Ruche ("the Beehive"). There, he met several writers and artists, including Guillaume Apollinaire, Robert Delaunay and Albert Gleizes. In such artistic company, experimentation was encouraged, and Chagall quickly began developing the poetic and innovative tendencies that had begun to emerge in Russia at the time—tendencies that may not have previously been encouraged. At the same time, he came under the influence of the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Fauvist pictures he saw in Paris museums, and was introduced to Fauvism and Cubism. Before long, he was participating in the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne (1912), annual French exhibits, staging his first solo show in 1914 in Berlin to great adulation.
This period—during which he created several images of his childhood and hometown of Vitebsk—is considered Chagall's strongest, artistically, and the style he developed would remain with him for the rest of his life. His works during this time include "Hommage Apollinaire" (1911-12), "The Fiddler" (1912) and "Paris Through the Window" (1913).
World War I
After the Berlin exhibition, Chagall returned to Vitebsk, Belarus, where he intended to stay long enough to marry his fiancée, Bella. A few weeks later, though, he was stranded by the outbreak of World War I, as the Russian borders were closed indefinitely. Instead of despairing, Chagall embraced local scenes in his art, working at the time in an unusually realistic style.

Why not hold the event in the summer you may ask. Well, those of you that have been around since the early days will remember when we held the event in July. The weeds were tall, the mosquitoes were out, and it was HOT! Therefore, we have decided to try November 2. Sure we may hit some weather issues, but hopefully it will be an improvement over May or July. We hope you will join us, so please mark your calendars for November 2.
We have 11 great locations where you can join us. Find out about the location nearest you.

Why is it Important?
The Great Miami River Cleanup is about much more than picking up trash. It's a day for communities to demonstrate their desire for clean water and healthy rivers. It's an opportunity to learn about our river, and it's a time to come together with your families, your neighbors, your community, and your friends to accomplish something vital and worthy on behalf of our Great Miami River.

It turns out that the pool is not for our subdivision but another one in the community. Since it was on the MLS, do we have any recourse? It was a deciding factor in the purchase.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
If the community pool/spa was so important to you, did you look for verification in the copies of the documents that went with the property you purchased? Those documents would have outlined the association you belong to and the expenses it incurred. As with any community amenity, a pool and spa cost money. That money needs to be collected from the homeowners in the form of monthly or yearly assessments.
If you reviewed the association documents, you would have seen no expenses for the pool and spa. You also might have seen that your assessments were considerably lower than the properties that actually get the use of the pool and spa.
You will have to talk to an attorney in your area further on this issue. If the real estate agent actually told you that the pool and spa were included, and took you there and showed them to you, you might have a better case. However, if the information was a mistake and the real estate agent relied on the seller for that information, it might be harder for you to do anything about it.
One thing you can do is find out if you can join or pay a fee to use the pool and spa. If you can, you might find that the cost of using the facilities is about equal to the difference between your assessments and those who live in the community that has the rights to use them. You might find you have options to satisfy your desire to use the facilities that don't involve getting an attorney involved or litigating this issue.
However, if you find out that the seller actually knew that his home was not part of the association that gets the right to use the pool and spa, and that the seller actively lied to get you to buy the home, you might have the right to go after the seller. In addition, if the broker knew as well and went along with the lie, he or she might have liability as well.
However, if you only knew about the amenities from the MLS listing, it would seem that you have an uphill battle to fight. Keep us posted.

Calling for Guest Strips!
Posted 2013-07-02 12:00
If you're interested in doing a guest strip (deadline from Juy 10th to the 13th, though it'll have a better chance at being accepted if done before Wednesday 10th):
Guest strip theme: Usually there are none. This time, I'd be interested in seeing new shenanigans going on at Jo's bar. Who's the trouble-maker this time? How does Jo react to it? Are axes involved? Are boobs? Did the bartender put rum again in his squirt-gun? Go wild with ideas! Most of them have probably already happened there.
There aren't any specific rules. I think some should be obvious by now, for example, no ultra-gory scenes or dialogue, no discriminatory comments, no magically naked Lillian poppin in.
As to format: no limit. My strips are 1100 px wide, and a minimum of 300 dpi for a high enough resolution. But go ahead and submit your own page format and I'll resize it if needed.
Send to roomie (at) chloe-art.com whenever you're ready!
Thanks for reading! Any questions, bring 'em on :)

Posted 2013-05-14 12:00
Hi all!
Just wanted to poke and tell you which conventions I'll be going to in the coming months:
Anime Boston: May 24-26 (along with Yamino from Sister Claire)
Philadelphia Comic Con: May 29-30 June 1-2 (along with Megan&Isa from Namesake, folks from Misfile and also Guilded Age creators)
ConnectiCon: July 11-14 (along with most of the Hiveworks studio!)
That's it for the moment! I will not have Roomie books to sell, I'm afraid, since they'll need more time to print than we originally thought, but I will have prints, charms, stickers, coasters, original strips and perhaps more goodies to sell as cons go.
I sincerely hope to see you :)

Treasure Valley residents woke up to damp streets and moist air Wednesday morning as spring 2013 finally arrived in Idaho.
The vernal equinox occurred at 7:02 a.m., which means the day and night are about equal everywhere today, and the sun rises in due east and sets in due west, according to the Old Farmers Almanac.
This year, spring brought some much needed rain to Southwest Idaho. The National Weather Service measured 0.20 inches of rain at the Boise Airport as of 8 a.m. Wednesday. That doesnt sound like much, and it isnt, but any will help at this point.
The average amount of rainfall between Jan. 1 and March 20 in the Boise area is 3.06 inches. The total for 2013 is 2.06 inches of rain, counting Tuesdays precipitation. By contrast, Boise had 4.73 inches of rain during that same time period last year, according to National Weather Service reports.
The entire region could use more precipitation to make sure the snowpack is good in the mountains for spring runoff, meteorologist Colin Baxter said.
The good news for that is rain is expected to last through Wednesday, with possibility of a thunderstorm later in afternoon, according to National Weather Service reports.
A cold front is expected to move through the Treasure Valley Wednesday night that will bring colder air and keep temperatures in the 40s for the next several days. The estimated high temperatures in Boise for the next four days are 47, 43, 45, and 48. The normal high temps for those days is 56 degrees.
There may even be a little snowfall on the valley floor when people wake up on Friday morning. It wont last, but it is a good reminder how volatile spring weather can be.
The good news is that the mountains of southwest and central Idaho will likely get some snow this week, Baxter said.

Being close to wild, untamed and spectacular nature is a big part of the attraction of fishing in Norway, but personal safety must always come first. The weather is changeable, so checking the forecast, taking local advice, wearing the correct clothing and carrying appropriate safety equipment is essential. Norwegians have great respect for the sea and take safety very seriously. If you are fishing with an experienced skipper on a licensed craft you can rely on him or her to take the necessary precautions. If however, you are hiring or using your own boat you will need to think a bit harder about safety issues.
Most self-use boats will be supplied with an array of safety equipment and a demonstration of how to use it. As a minimum, you should have on board: lifejackets for everyone, spare fuel, two anchors (one spare with a chain and warp of adequate length), ample rope, oars or spare engine, compass, first aid box, VHF radio and lights and emergency flares.In Norway, most stations renting self-use boats have permanent moorings alongside a dock but it is advisable to know how to land a boat on a beach in extremis. Before sailing tell someone ashore of your intentions and estimated time of return and take clothing that is suitable for all possible conditions.Once at sea, don't take chances and follow good practice. Keep everything tidy within the boat and the deck free from fish slime and bait – it will help to avoid accidents. Don't stand up when the boat is moving. Use the radio regularly to listen to the weather forecast, especially if you are a long way out. Look out for the onset of sea mist and for signs of bad weather coming up and keep your anchor cable buoyed and ready to slip in an emergency.
You won't often need to travel far from shore to find good fishing ground, but give some thought to the type of vessel you are using when choosing your mark. Keep within a distance of base or shelter that you can make in good time if the weather worsens and remember that it is often risky for small craft to round headlands, especially if you don't know what lies beyond.

ComplexDataReader is a powerful new component in CloverETL meant for reading elaborate heterogeneous data. However, all data cannot be read easily even if you spend a lot of time configuring the component. Sometimes you need to think in advance: What if you come across unknown metadata you have not handled? Normally, the graph crashes.
This post will examine a way of preventing that or, more specifically, how to handle errors in input data.
Example Input Data
What We Will Do
We can instantly distinguish three kinds of metadata on the input: product, product_range and service. ComplexDataReader is the best component to parse these using three states of a state machine. As you can see, there is one line that does not fit into the data. The magic trick of this example lies in preparing one extra state – the error state. The state will be responsible for "catching" all incorrect data which would cause the component to fail. In order to be able to decide which data are "bad," or, more precisely, when to switch to the error state, you have to write a custom Selector class in Java. The idea behind the code is very simple and will be explained below:
"Prep Work"
First, we need to prepare metadata for all three states of the state machine plus one extra. The extra metadata will represent error lines on the input we need to "throw away."
Second, do not forget to connect the component to its succeeding components and assign metadata to output edges.
Third, set the "File URL" property to point the component to the input file.
Here are the three aforementioned metadata:
And one extra metadata for error lines:
Designing State Machine
We are going to create four states:
Note: There are no transition edges to be seen in the graph. It is because the Selector itself will decide when to change between states.
Start configuring the component via the "Transform" property. Create four states corresponding to the metadata and set "Initial state" to "Let selector decide":
Switch to state "$0 product" and define its output mapping. In this state, we will send all fields to the output. Thus, drag state $0 to the "Value" column in the right-hand pane. You will produce the "$0.*" directive. In the "Transition table", switch "Target state" to "Let selector decide":
Repeat the same procedure for all remaining states (including the error state). Always send everything to the output port and "Let selector decide" about the target state:
Writing Custom Selector
We are now going to prepare a Java class that will do the magic of this example – switch between states "$0 product", "$1 service", "$2 product_range" and the "$3 error" state in case there are errors on reading. This particular prefix Selector will assume there is another record on the following line(s) and will try to read it. If there really is a new record, we can recover from the error line and carry on reading.
You can prepare the Java class in any editor of your choice. After writing it, just remember to place it into the "trans" folder of your project. On that condition, CloverETL will automatically compile the class for you.
The Selector class will look like this:
public class CustomPrefixInputMetadataSelector1 extends com.opensys.cloveretl.component.complexdatareader.PrefixInputMetadataSelector { private static final int DEFAULT = 3; @Override public int select(int prevState) { int result = super.select(prevState); if(result == org.jetel.component.RecordTransform.ALL) { return DEFAULT; } return result; } }
A few comments concerning the code:
int result = super.select(prevState);
First, we try to call the default selector and store the number of the next state into result.if(result == org.jetel.component.RecordTransform.ALL)
And if the default selector cannot decide…return DEFAULT;
We return the default state number – number 3. This is the error state.
Now that you are done with the code, switch to the "Selector" tab in "State transitions". In "Selector URL", browse for your custom Selector. Notice that after you specify its location, the "Selector properties" area changes:
Conclusions & Pitfalls
In this article, we have presented a way of handling flaws in the input data. We have been capable of addressing a situation when the selector looks on the following metadata and cannot decide which state goes next.
However, there are numerous cases when you just cannot prevent reading errors from occurring. For instance, even if the selector recognizes the following metadata but then fails on parsing them, we cannot react and the graph fails. You can imagine that as a file whose field types suddenly change, (e.g. from integer to date – the selector starts parsing an integer and crashes). Another known case we cannot handle is changeable number of fields in one record. If new fields occur or their number decreases, the graph execution fails. The only exception to this are fields added at the end of a record. These can be handled with the help of lenient data policy.
