UConn men venture into Bridgeport
With VIDEO report

BRIDGEPORT — It's the home game that's not a home game.
UConn's players didn't seem overly enthused Friday to be playing today at Webster Bank Arena against Eastern Washington. It's diffcult to blame them.
For the 15th-ranked Huskies (10-1), the only thing that said "home" for practice was the fact that they didn't leave the state borders.
The practice was UConn's first time inside the arena. The team spent Friday night at the Trumbull Marriott. It has all the earmarks of a road trip.
That will change today.
"I don't know why we came out here, but I guess we're trying to get all of Connecticut with the UConn way," said guard Shabazz Napier, who sat out parts of practice because of knee tendinitis but is expected to play today. "It's good to play in front of different fans. They all love us. Sometimes they can't get out to us, but we're coming to them now so it's much easier for them. It's definitely good."
It has been nearly 27 years since UConn last played a home game away from Gampel Pavilion or the XL Center.
The Huskies have done it 16 prior times in their history, all of those games at the New Haven Coliseum, now a pile of rubble. Webster Bank Arena is a much shinier, cozy place that will be filled with fans from Fairfield and New Haven counties who either find the trips to Storrs or Hartford too difficult to make or not worth the time and money involved.
A smattering of single seats remained as of Friday, so UConn's effort to branch out at least this one time has worked. Now all the Huskies have to do is play well against Eastern Washington (5-5), a Big Sky Conference team that has taken a leap up in competiton this year.
The Eagles lost at Seton Hall on Sunday. UConn needed an opponent for this game and Eastern Washington was looking to continue its East Coast swing and spend Christmas in New York. Thus the reason for this game, UConn's stepping off point before it heads into the inaugural season of American Athletic Conference play next week.
In a bit of an oddity, the Huskies are playing their third straight West Coast opponent. It lost last week to Stanford in Hartford but rebounded with a come-from-behind win at Washington on Sunday.
"I learned a lot about our team," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie, whose wife, Stephanie, hails from Bridgeport. "To see those guys come together and play with that intensity and outwill their opponent was great to see. We took Washington's first punch and withstood it and started playing basketball.
"It was exciting to see. Our speed was an overwhelming factor in the Washington game."
Speed will always be a factor with UConn, but today might come down to 3-point shooting. The Eagles average 22 shots from beyond the arc and shoot a respectable 37.5 percent from that range. The Huskies shoot nearly 44 percent, however. Add their speed into that equation and Eastern Washington is likely to have issues defending UConn.
For the Huskies, this game is more about starting to get into a groove of playing consistently again. They aren't any different from any other team, but the exam break and holiday break mean a start-and-stop aspect to this part of the season. The Huskies have played just four games this month after playing seven in quick succession in November.
Starting today, UConn won't go more than five days between games. There's also the added benefit of playing what feels somewhat like a road game heading into a two-game road trip to begin AAC play.
"This is the fun part of the year," guard Ryan Boatright said. "We have a game every two days, three days. Practice is cut down. You get to play a lot of games and tally up those wins and get ready to get into tournament play."

A heat pump heats indoor spaces by pulling heat from the outside air into the indoor air. They can be switched into reverse to move heat from the indoor air into the outdoor air to cool down the indoor space. A compressor, which evaporates and condenses refrigerant, enables the transfer of heat from one space to another. Unlike an electric heat pump which uses an electric motor to power the compressor, a GHP uses clean burning natural gas in a combustion engine to drive its compressor.
The GHP utilizes scroll compressors combined with state of the art electronic controls and variable refrigerant volume management systems which allows up to 17 independent zones for the 8-ton and 33 independent zones for the 15-ton GHP. The use of a refrigerant loop eliminates the need for space consuming duct soffits and allows for the placement of air handlers within each dedicated zone. The GHP uses R-410A, one of the most environmentally-friendly refrigerant.

China walks political tightrope for 160-plane deal with Airbus
Airbus clinched an agreement to sell 160 planes to China on Monday after high-level political intervention rescued Beijing talks that had become stuck on a Chinese offer to buy just 30 jets, French officials said.
During a state visit to China by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the sale of 30 planes, one-fifth the number sold by Sarkozy's predecessor, Jacques Chirac, would have been seen as a flop.
In Beijing, Sarkozy and Chinese President Hu Jintao looked on as Airbus and China's state buying agency signed a "framework" deal that could lead to an order for Airbus jets worth $16.7 billion.
The framework deal covered 150 planes, while a separate deal involved a further 10 Airbus A330-200s for China Southern airline.
Aides said French companies had negotiated deals worth 20 billion euros ($29.72 billion), a record for a state visit from France.
The figure of 160 planes is a sensitive matter to both China and visiting leaders who vie to oversee the best deals.
China has twice bought 150 planes from Airbus or Boeing to mark similar visits by Chirac, a bitter rival to Sarkozy, and President Bush.
Airbus is owned by the multinational European Aeronautic Defense & Space Co. (EADS) and based in France. Its main competitor is U.S.-based Boeing.
Until now, China has been careful to split purchases evenly between the two industrial giants, whose fortunes are often linked to the status of national economic interests in China.
Framework deals are put together by China's state buying agency and become firm only when allotted to individual airlines.
EADS Chief Executive Louis Gallois said the main provisional order was expected to result in firm entries on the Airbus order book before the end of the year.
The China Southern deal is already firm, meaning Airbus has received a deposit.

light weight its only slightly tight but still OK
Great Helmet

The Roc Loc 5 fit system is excellent and allows quick adjustment for use with or without a beanie. The vents are easy to use (one lever). I'll update about the stack vent system after using the helmet on the slopes

Great helmet, good for all weather conditions
Another great product from Giro
By Snowbum
from Lower Michigan
I do like this helmet, got the tank color, which stands out over all the gray and black ones that people have. Love the Roc Loc 5 fit system and the construction of helmet is top notch. I also like being able to slip my skullcandy earphones into the earpads, my only gripe is the chin strap pad needs one extra strap toward the clip, it doesn't want to stay in place, even knowing this before hand I would still buy it again.

Light and breezy helmet
By Mike W
from Fairfield, PA
About Me Professional
Skied with this helmet 5 days so far, in snow, sleet, rain, and gusting winds. Temps ranged from high 20s to mid 30s. Never had any problems with my goggles fogging up thanks to the stack vent design. The helmet fits me well, and it was simple to dial in a stable fit. Construction seems solid enough, I have not crash tested it yet! Designed as backcountry helmet, be aware that for on piste skiing it's much cooler than other helmets I've had. With mild temperatures and vents closed, I still opted to wear a beanie underneath to provide some warmth. Figure this as a plus for its intended use.
By GingerKid
from Salt Lake City, Utah
One of the best - if not the best helmets - I have ever used. Giro does a great job of making this a very light weight, but feature rich helmet. This helmet weighs in at a mere 2 oz more than a Smith Maze, but has vents you can open and close without having to take the helmet off, custom rear fit adjustments, and the best is the vertical fit adjustment. The vertical fit allows you to adjust how the helmet interacts with your goggles - you can actually make the goggles sit lower or higher on your face, and still eliminate gapper gap. I have used this helmet in 30°+ temps all the way down to single digits. No need for anything else

Hoops For Hope - 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament to Benefit The ALS Association
Just a Reminder:
The 2nd Annual Hoops For Hope 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament is going down this Saturday, August 28th in Toms River, NJ. All proceeds from the event go to The ALS Association - Greater Philadelphia Chapter. Come on out, support a great cause and dust off those Bball kicks. If you haven't already sent in your registration there's no need to worry. Sign up will be allowed on the day of. Just make sure you show up around 9 am since the games will be starting close to 10am.
There will also be a 3 point contest with some cool prizes to give away. You don't have to register for that. Just bring 5 bucks and your jumpshot. For people like Lives "The Chucker" and Limp Wristed O & B, you can participate several times, as long as you shell out the mula.
To find out more about ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease take a gander here .
Some of you might be wondering, "Why is Aaron involved with the ALS Association?" The answer to your query is William "Poppy" Johnson, my grandfather. He was diagnosed with the disease and quickly passed away shortly after the diagnosis. He was always active, tossing the football, tending his garden or shooting hoops with his kids and grandkids. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis made it impossible for him to fully enjoy his life. He went from walking fine on his own, to using a cane, to depending on a wheelchair, and finally bed ridden in just about a year's time. This was a very troubling time for our family but we've bonded together by rallying around The ALS Association and their many different fundraising events. The Hope of one day finding a cure for this disease is what keeps us going. Maybe another family won't have to lose a loved one the way we lost Poppy.

"This was nice and tender and tasted pretty good, but not pretty, and the gravy was kinda funky looking, so it lost a star for not being attractive.

With Lady Antebellumâs Hillary Scott expecting a child this summer, the band already has canceled several of its July and August dates.
Thatâs good news for the Dixie Chicks, but not exactly great news for local fans. If you want to see the Chicks live next year, right now it looks like youâll have to pack up and head north to Canada.
In addition to a show on July 7 at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival on Prince Edward Island, the Dixie Chicks go west for a July 13 spot at the Craven Country Jamboree in Saskatchewan. The latter date opened up thanks to Lady Antebellumâs departure.
Itâs hard to gauge whether the Chicksâ earlier controversies have been reduced from a full boil to an almost forgotten simmer. All three women â lead singer Natalie Maines and sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison â have lain low, focusing on their families and individual projects.
For fans still jonesing for some of Mainesâ signature vocals, she has a new cut on an album slated for Jan. 15 release. Titled âWest of Memphis: Voices for Justice,â Maines recorded the Pink Floyd song âMother.â She joins an impressive roster on the album, including Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Eddie Vedder, Patti Smith and Henry Rollins.
Maines and Vedder have been consistent and vocal supporters of the West Memphis Three â Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelley Jr. â who were convicted as teenagers in the brutal 1993 murders of three Cub Scouts in eastern Arkansas. The men were freed in 2011 after nearly two decades in prison.

Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 8:33pm
I need help splitting menu items up into four groups, so for example:
If X is the number of menu items (we'll place a value of X as 20)
So X / 4 (20/4) is 5
and then every 5 menu items, close and open div (to split the menu on the front end)The problem comes when X is say 21, which would need to result in 6 menu items in the first column and 5 menu items in the remaining 3 columns.
Hopes this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help.
Re: Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 9:02pm
The "modulo" operator (%) will give you the remaining value when doing integer division. Example: 21 % 4 results in 1, since 1 will remain when 21 is divided by 4 (integer division). In your case, using modulo, you'll only get 4 different cases:
Modulo returns 0: X can be divided by 4, no problems.
Modulo returns 1: one item has to be added to the first row
Modulo returns 2: one item has to be added to row 1 and 2
Modulo returns 3: one item has to be added to rows 1 - 3 -
Re: Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 9:33pm Last edited: 17 July 2009 9:34pm
Just wanted to test this and wrote a function that does what you want:
// place this in your Page_Controller
public function GridMenu($level, $numLines){
$items = $this->Menu($level);
$numItems = $items->Count();
$remaining = $numItems % $numLines;
$itemsPerLine = floor($numItems / $numLines);
$rows = array();
$it = $items->getIterator();
for($i = 0; $i < $numLines; ++$i){
$row = new DataObjectSet();
$t = $itemsPerLine + ($i < $remaining ? 1 : 0);
for($k = 0; $k < $t; ++$k){
$row->push($it->current(), $it->key());
$rows[] = array('Row' => $row);
return new DataObjectSet($rows);
}The method works in the same way as Menu(x), but takes two parameters GridMenu($level, $numLines) where $level is the menu level and $numLines is the amount of lines or rows to output.
In the template you would use this like shown below:
<% control GridMenu(1, 4) %>
<% control Row %>
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>This would output your pages of level 1 and split them into 4 rows. As you can see there's an inner loop (<% control Row %>) that outputs the items of a row.
Re: Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 9:42pm
Thank you - this most definately looks like the control required. How would this be modified to include the control <% if ChildrenOf() %> as my first level menu is made up of fixed images so I would need to have this control to show the second level menu (in groups of 4) just for that parent.
Thanks in advance
Re: Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 9:46pm
Also would $numlines not need to be dynamic in the template?

Just to help you help me a little more - here is the code that needs to be dynamically created for a level2 menu grouping:

Re: Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 10:09pm
Well. You could simply rewrite the code to use ChildrenOf instead of Menu.
// remove this line:
// $items = $this->Menu($level);
// add this line:
$items = $this->ChildrenOf($level);Then instead of calling GridMenu(1,4) you would use GridMenu(page-url, 4)
Why does $numLines have to be dynamic? In your first post you wrote that you need 4 lines of items. I wrote it more generically to allow arbitrary number of lines using the second parameter.
Re: Dividing menu items into groups
17 July 2009 at 10:30pm
They need to be in columns rather than rows.

It's very annoying having safari and can't play a single game!
This is a discussion on Dont you hate when you go on safari you cant play a game within the iPad General Discussions forums, part of the Apple iPad Discussions category; It's very annoying having safari and can't play a single game!...
It's very annoying having safari and can't play a single game!
Hi there--I am going to move this to the general discussion section.
iPad 2 ~ Wi-Fi ~ 32 GB | MacBook Air 13-inch 4 GB RAM/128 GB | Apple TV (3rd Gen) | iPod Classic 80 GB | iPod Touch 32 GB (4th Gen)
No, not really. But then I don't care for browser based games. Not even on the computer.
Not that this addresses what you are really talking about (or what I think you are really talking about), but if you do a search for HTML5 mobile games for iPad, you'll turn up a few sites that do host games you can play.
So, at least technically, it is possible to play a few games in Safari.
They tend to be poor games, optimized for phones, and often (inexplicably) despite this not working with a touch UI, but they exist as a kind of reminder that it is possible. It's just that developers have found the App Store a far better place to make money; and even when it's not about money, the quality of local apps (especially games) triumph web based games in every way.
Yeah you should search for HTML5 Games on Google or in the App Store. There you will find the games for iPad, which you will be able to play.
While on safari, you would be wise to avoid playing games and instead watch out for savage and ill-disposed creatures such as elephants, that might otherwise sneak up unnoticed and trample on you.

Koyamangalath Krishnan, MD, FRCP
Exams and TestsOnly 10% of people with renal cell cancer have the classic specific symptoms, such as blood in the urine, or a lump or pain in the side. Other people have only vague, nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue or just not feeling well. Still others have no symptoms at all. A health care provider will gather many different types of information to make a diagnosis. This process includes ruling out conditions that cause similar symptoms. If urinary symptoms occur, referral to a urologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of the urinary tract) may be necessary. The following steps may be taken for a health care provider to make a correct diagnosis:
Imaging studies A number of imaging studies are used to evaluate and stage renal masses.
Lab tests The following lab tests are performed to look for paraneoplastic syndromes, to rule out other conditions, and to evaluate a person's overall health before beginning treatment.

Friends of the suspect accused of pushing another man off a subway platform to his death are coming to his defense.
Investigators say 30-year-old Naeem Davis got into an argument with 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han before the incident happened.
Han fell onto the tracks and was hit by an oncoming Q train at the 49th Street station, killing him.
Police say video shows Davis screaming profanities at Han moments before allegedly shoving him to his death.
Davis claims Han harassed and threatened him before the argument.
His friends say the video does not show the real Naeem Davis, whom they describe as a peaceful man.
"Out of the six years I know him, he never had a fight. He never had a fight," said "Caesar", a friend of Davis. "All the time that we hung out and everything, no."
"The Naeem that I know, I'm sure he had to cry 'stop' a couple times before he had to get to the level where he even used any profanity," said "Mohammed", a friend of Davis.
Davis is charged with second-degree murder.

On Friday, April 5, Paonia Elementary School held its annual fund raiser at the school.
Fun was had by all, thanks to the awesome community support the school receives and especially because of the wonderful and creative Paonia Parent Organizational committee.
They organized a great evening of family- fun events — chili supper, book sale, rooster bingo, slime your favorite teacher, children's performances and the best art show this side of the Mississippi. The school raised more than $1,600 which will help with all student activities.
The school would like to thank Stu and Marla Carlson for their continued support, Wendy Kossler for all the extra work she does in the kitchen, David Kuta for all his extra work on the schoolwwide art show and all the wonderful PPO members who spend so much of their time supporting the students and teachers in our building.

Ludewig's Hardware in Teaneck to close
Do you have memories of Ludewig's? Please email Joan Verdon.
Ludewig's Hardware in Teaneck, a beloved local institution for more than 100 years, on Tuesday became the third Bergen County hardware store in two weeks to announce it is closing.
Owner Merrick Fradkin said the rising cost of doing business, relentless competition from superstore chains Home Depot and Lowe's and a dwindling customer base led to the decision to close. The store plans a going-out-of-business sale beginning March 11.
"It was a tough decision emotionally," said Fradkin, whose family has owned the store since 1968, "but when you look at the numbers, it was an easy decision."
Mitchell Simon in Englewood announced Feb. 18 that it had closed, and four days later Holtje's Fort Lee Hardware said it would close March 7.
The hardware trend in Bergen County is not reflected in current nationwide statistics. The number of local hardware stores has been relatively stable in recent years, at almost 20,000 stores, according to the North American Hardware Retail Association. There were 19,920 hardware stores nationwide in 2012, down just 20 from the year before, according to the association.
The Bergen County closings could be due to a variety of reasons, including owners who want to retire, said Ken Clark, editor-inchief of trade publication Home Channel News. But Clark noted that the Ludewig's announcement occurred the same day Home Depot reported "profit for the fourth quarter of $1 billion. That's what they're up against, by and large," he said.
"The big story when you talk to local hardware stores is: How do you beat the big box? Some can do it and some cannot," Clark said. Still, he said, independent hardware stores have been more resilient against national competitors than the other mom-and-pop stores that once were downtown staples.
"There still are a lot more independent hardware stores on Main Streets than there are independent bookstores or independent clothing stores," he said.
Fradkin, 48, grew up working in the store after his father, Barry, bought it. They were the third owners of Ludewig's. He remembers how the store was a community meeting spot, a place where you could get advice about home repair, free of charge, with your purchase. "It was fun back then,'' Fradkin said. "It was a place where people came in and just shot the bull. A customer came in for two screws and stayed for about a half hour."

Lunch recs between Burlington airport and Stowe, VT
Drive 89 to Waterbury and enjoy pub grub and Heady Topper beer at the Alchemist, said by many to be the best beer in America. Then it's an easy and pretty ride up Rt 100 to Stowe.
re: Veggo
Actually, Veggo, The Alchemist is no longer there. It's now Prohibition Pig. However, The Alchemist is still brewing, and Heady Topper is still available at Prohibition Pig, and it's still a really good restaurant. :)
There's also the Blue Stone Pizza Place on Stowe St. in Waterbury.
re: Morganna
I would second the Prohibition Pig for solid pub-grub and a great selection of beers. They serve beer from Hill Farmstead as well as Lawson's; both are fantastic local brews. The Alchemist Cannery is worthwhile stop to taste and purchase cans of Heady Topper. I suggest going early in the week to the cannery if you want a chance to purchase any cans.
re: ecwashere7
Prohibition Pig is great but only open for lunch Fri-Sun.

For beginners, low waves make June, July and August optimal months to start learning, while more experienced boarders should ride the best swells during hurricane season in September and October. Find your ocean guru at the New York Surf School, which offers 90-minute stand-up paddleboard and one- or two-hour surfing classes daily. • New York Surf School (718-496-3371, surflessonsnewyork101.com). Paddleboard lessons start at $95 per person, surfing lessons start at $60; both include the use of boards and wet suits.

Spend a night at the Boatel
For those seeking an outdoorsy escape and an artsy getaway rolled into one, check into the Boatel, conceptualized by Constance Hockaday, Flux Factory artist collective and Marina 59. A team of 23 artists from New York City, Cape Cod, Philadelphia, Houston and Toronto transformed 17 old boats and a few docks at Jamaica Bay into a series of floating art installations that double as a place to camp out for the night. (Although they're not supposed to be hotel-quality by any means—accommodations provide some basic comforts, but guests are asked to arrive "adventure ready.") Choose from revamped ships such as Bad Irene, featuring decor inspired by Star Trek and space travel, or Charlie's Angels, a patchwork castle tree house. And if you'd rather not stay the night, just stop by on Thursday nights this summer for a free lecture series hosted by experts in a variety of fields, including ornithology and cartography. • 718-945-4500, marina59.com. Boats for three to four people start at $55 per night.

Hit a home run at Chelsea Piers and swing to the sky at Pier 40
While most New Yorkers are trying to get beach-body ready by hitting the gym, you can opt for a more exhilarating workout by pretending to be a hotshot slugger: Test your swing at the fast-, medium- and slow-pitch softball or baseball batting cages. If you'd rather turn the sport into something closer to a video game, try besting the ProBatter simulator, which features a giant screen depicting a pitcher throwing a ball (it's used at Major League Baseball training sites). Thrill seekers who'd rather be soaring through the air themselves can choose from a number of classes at Trapeze School New York on Pier 40. Sessions for all levels are available, including beginner, intermediate and advanced flyers. • The Field House at Chelsea Piers, Pier 62, 23rd St at the Hudson River (212-336-6500, chelseapiers.com). Regular pitches ten for $2.75, ProBatter pitches 16 for $5.50; cage rental half hour $55, one hour $85, ProBatter $90. • Trapeze School New York, 343 West St at the West Side Hwy, third floor (212-242-8769, newyork.trapezeschool.com).

Inspector general now at odds with Mayor Emanuel
By FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com July 19, 2011 3:02PM
Updated: July 20, 2011 4:49PM
It looks like the power struggle between Chicago's inspector general and the mayor's office, which raged under former Mayor Richard M. Daley, is continuing under Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Inspector General Joe Ferguson went public on the issue Tuesday in a letter accompanying his latest quarterly report, talking about impediments he says keep him from exercising the independence he needs to root out waste and corruption. Ferguson, who was given responsibility last year for the oversight of city hiring, wrote that "robust oversight" is being hampered by "serious understaffing." "The city has never permitted the IGO to fully staff the unit, even as authorized by its budget," Ferguson wrote. Ferguson sai another roadblock he faces is a "continuing legal dispute" over access to information and documents held by the city's Law Department. The controversy stems from a lawsuit filed by the inspector general demanding that the Law Department turn over documents needed for an investigation into how former top Daley aide Charles Bowen was awarded a $100,000 sole-source contract with the Chicago Police Department. In April, the Illinois Appellate Court recognized the inspector general's power to hire a private attorney to seek judicial enforcement of a subpoena served on the corporation counsel in the case. Ferguson disclosed Tuesday that Emanuel's administration has filed to appeal that to the Illinois Supreme Court, in effect, he wrote, adopting "wholesale the position of the prior administration . . . that the iGO is not a legally independent agency." Unable to hire without the mayor's OK, Ferguson said his office remains "unprotected and thus vulnerable to retribution." And he said his jurisdiction still doesn't "fully extend to . . . sister agencies" including the Chicago Park District and the Emanuel-chaired Public Building Commission. Emanuel's communications director Chris Mather said the mayor is committed to giving Ferguson the resources he needs, "never opposed" filling hiring-oversight vacancies and "further, we just met with the inspector general and agreed to approve the hiring of investigators." Regarding the documents Ferguson wants, Law Department spokeswoman Jennifer Hoyle said that's a matter of "attorney-client privilege."
