The British 10K is 3 weeks away and sadly it looks like I'm going to be missing out on it. I've been reading on various blogs and noticing how excited people are getting for the event as it promises to be a fun filled day for all (Nike have teamed up with Tiger Balm and even arranged for professional masseurs to tend to the needs of runners, pre and post run, as well as some lucky spectators!!)
Thousands of individuals have signed up for the event individually, through running clubs, running crews and social groups. Kristina Colbert (shown above) and the rest of the members of the all ladies 'She Runs LA Crew' are set to make an appearance from across the pond as well as the The 'Run Dem Crew' from Shoreditch, London. Running is such a great way to have fun, relieve stress and escape the everyday hustle and bustle we've all become too accustomed with. I can't wait to soak up the atmosphere and cheer the runners on. Check out a video shoot of She Runs La Crew below
Worst fears
Pulled up on Wednesday doing sprint circuits in the park. Heard a pop sound so feared the worst as I fell to the ground in a huddled pile of pain. Guess the stubbornness in me coerced my better judgement to go home and 'RICE' the situation rather than go to A&E. Well, the pain hasn't stopped and the doctor has just told me I've got a tear in my hamstring. What grade it is is impossible to tell without an MRI but I'm guessing its bad cause the sound I heard was gut wrenching.
Enough with the negative vibes for now. The reason why I decided to share this gloomy news is cause I have the British 10k coming up in a month and the 19k Tough guy assault course the week after and I'm determined to make it back in time for both!!! I'm going to be doing loads of research as to what may aid the recovery apart from the obvious resting and icing to give myself I fighting chance to compete and also enjoy the wireless concert this year to the max (the lineup looks better each time I see it).
If anyone has any tips on a quick road to recovery (barring Ugo Monye-esque Harlequins physio and rehabilitation staff on tap that got him back in time for the premiership rugby final) please do tell me your useful tips and tricks :-)

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?
As odd as this might sound, Saturday Night Live circa '79-'80 changed my life. I already loved music and wanted to be in a band, but during those two seasons I was exposed to several bands and a genre of music that would influence me to this day. Devo, Talking Heads, and The B-52's made the biggest impact.
I grew up with a father who owned a record store in the early '70s, so I had every 45 rpm that was on America's Top 40, and then I got into hard rock and metal. After seeing these "new wave"/post-punk bands, I ditched all my "rock" records and immersed myself in anything that was of a counterculture nature. It got me thinking outside the mainstream at the tender age of 12.
One of my favorite quotes is from d.boon of The Minutemen—"Punk Rock Saved My Life." For me, no truer words have ever been spoken.
David Koslowski's recent return to Baltimore from North Carolina has been most welcome. Koslowski brings great enthusiasm, a dash of elder statesman status, an excellent project—check out his current band, Free Electric State—and a nod to past glories with Liquor Bike, who play a 20th anniversary show this Saturday at Ottobar. More than a walk down memory lane, the show figures to be a celebration of a band that had a great run in the 1990s—look for their Merkin discs next time you're scanning the bins at Sound Garden. Doors open at 9 pm, and tickets are $10. Helikopter opens, and former 'HFS DJ Johnny Riggs hosts the festivities.

I got an e-mail this morning from Teavolve owner Sunni Gilliam that Harbor East's newest cool spot to hang out has finally opened. Teavolve Café & Lounge at the corner of Aliceanna and Exeter streets quietly began welcoming thirsty and hungry patrons last week and is now helping early birds with their caffeine (coffee or tea) cravings and serving delicious-sounding fare like Belgian waffles, made-to-order salads, an assortment of paninis, and great desserts.
I stopped by this afternoon for a glass of iced passion-fruit sweet tea, a perfect thirst quencher for today's heat. The café has an industrial chic vibe with tall ceilings, lots of light, and painted cement floors. It is already luring laptop loungers with its free wireless Internet. Once this pleasant teaporium becomes known, I predict its comfy couches and tables are going to fill quickly.
The original Teavolve on Eastern Avenue will only be open for afternoon tea and special occasions, says Sunni, probably one of the nicest vendors around town.

Esquire magazine ranks Baltimore as No. 25 on its list of "79 Things We Can All Agree On." Nice. But, wait, what does that really mean?
In the story's intro, it explains, "There are some things that, regardless of party, religion, or class, we can agree are great, lousy, true, false, beautiful, stupid, delicious, or crazy."
Uh oh. Guess where Baltimore falls in that mix? The headline says it all: "Baltimore … Is America's Next Great Underdog City."
New Orleans, David Simon, and Newark, NJ, are mentioned in our section, too.
It reads: "But because its death spiral has been slow … it has continued virtually unnoticed by the rest of the country. Even Newark gets more attention. Which Baltimoreans might actually prefer. This city, even in its decay, has a sweat-soaked, beer-stained, grim-faced cool to it."
Grim-faced cool. We can live with that. And this.
"Baltimore, a city without sentiment, without much left of its ego, deserving of our love precisely because it has never asked for it."

Check Your Gun Mister
Are We Safer than the Citizens of Dodge City? By Jim Higginbotham
Sometimes the answers to seemingly complex social problems are hidden in plain sight. Social engineers, lawmakers and "experts" from all around spout off an endless stream of statistics to support or rationalize their position one side or the other of the "gun control" issue. Now I don't like the term "gun control" for it is ambiguous and usually used to mask the real intent of those advocating it so for the purpose of this discussion let us just say "more restrictive guns laws". One might think that this is a relatively new idea, it is not! You can go back to the Roman Empire and find the existence of cross bow control, you can look to England and find attempts to disarm the various colonists under their imperial thumb – the American colonists come to mind as an unsuccessful attempt to debar the use of arms to an indigent population. There are many examples of the failure of laws which attempt to disarm the violent in our society but none are more graphic as examples or easier to measure in effect than those in the "wild west" of America circa 1870-1900.

Guns and Killing …
21 JulNo need to check your firearm today in the Arizona town famed for the gunfight at the OK Corral.
By Bob Drogin, Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Tombstone, Ariz. — A billboard just outside this Old West town promises "Gunfights Daily!" and tourists line up each afternoon to watch costumed cowboys and lawmen reenact the bloody gunfight at the OK Corral with blazing six-shooters.
But as with much of the Wild West, myth has replaced history. The 1881 shootout took place in a narrow alley, not at the corral. Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday weren't seen as heroic until later; they were initially charged with murder.
And one fact is usually ignored: Back then, Tombstone had far stricter gun control than it does today. In fact, the American West's most infamous gun battle erupted when the marshal tried to enforce a local ordinance that barred carrying firearms in public. A judge had fined one of the victims $25 earlier that day for packing a pistol.

Lancaster as Earp – the 'Grin' and the Grim
16 JulIn rebuilding my 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' page I got to thinking about Lancaster's portrayal of Wyatt Earp. In earlier films Lancaster had become famous for his trademark smile – which he is said to have referred to as "the grin" - most obvious in 'Vera Cruz' (one of My Favorite Westerns). Therefore his stoic and stern portrayal of Wyatt Earp in 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' is a stark and deliberate contrast. Was Earp really like this? Because this same humorless image of Earp is carried on through most of the other popular Earp Films: 'Hour of the Gun'; 'Tomestone' and 'Wyatt Earp'. Only Henry Fonda's portrait of Earp in 'My Darling Clementine' (1946) seems to put a more human face on Earp. Director John Sturges ('Gunfight at the OK Corral') continued with this strict image of Earp in 'Hour of the Gun' (1968) which starred James Garner as Earp. Garner's ruthless portrayal of Earp is even more striking because of Garner's usual soft and often comedic persona from the 'Maverick' TV series. It is safe to say however, that Sturges wasn't very concerned with a historical portrayal of Earp (Lancaster doesn't even sport a mustache) or the gunfight at the OK Corral. But it seems ironic that the film that makes the greatest effort to paint a historical document of Earp (Lawrence Kasdan's 'Wyatt Earp' starring Kevin Costner as Earp) is probably the least popular of five films.
Disaster at the OK Corral …
13 Jul"I AM smiling."
A few moons back my 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' page wuz completely bushwacked. By me.
I lost the whole page. (And my temper).
I wuz just trying to figure out how to adjust the line spacing on the page … when suddenly … something went terribly wrong … the whole page disappeared … into cyberset. (Cyberset is the Western equivalent of 'riding off into the sunset' … 'cept you don't 'ride off' …. you just vanish … No glory … No completion … No sunset … No kiss. It just takes one slip of your trigger finger …. and before yu can holler "Look out Billy!" the whole damn page disappears. Oft times never to be retrieved …. or even tracked … particularly by a tenderfoot blogger like myself.
And I never learned or noticed – that there was an emergency page retrieval button at the bottom … until I rode back later. Alas … too late.
Worse yet I never figured out how to do that damn line spacing thing until later.
Sooo … I'm having to rebuild the whole page – or at least what I had done so far – which was quite a bit. I will be able to do get it almost identical though, but that will take a while …
I'm paying my dues.
Good thing I don't do this for a living.

To meet its aims, the Innovation Center seeks to have a portfolio of models that address a range of populations, issues, problems and potential solutions. While it is unlikely that any one model will meet all elements of the Portfolio Criteria, taken as a whole the Center's portfolio will reflect these priorities. The Innovation Center will test models of care that deliver better healthcare, better health at reduced costs through improvement.
Better healthcare: improve individual patient experiences of care along the IOM 6 domains of quality: Safety, Effectiveness, Patient-centeredness, Timeliness, Efficiency, and Equity.
Better health: encourage better health for entire populations by addressing underlying causes of poor health, such as physical inactivity, behavioral risk factors, lack of preventive care and poor nutrition.
Reduced costs: lower the total cost of care resulting in reduced monthly expenditures for each Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP beneficiaries by improving care.
The Innovation Center seeks models that deliver better healthcare and better health at reduced costs and:
- Have the greatest potential impact on Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries, and the ability to improve how care is delivered nationally.
- Focus on health conditions that offer the greatest opportunity to improve care and reduce costs.
- Address the priority areas in the National Quality Strategy.
- Meet the needs of the most vulnerable and address disparities in care.
- Improve existing Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP payments to promote better outcomes and patient-centeredness.
- Are relevant across diverse geographic areas and states.
- Involve major provider types.
- Engage broad segments of the delivery system.
- Balance short-term and long-term investments.
- Structured at a scale and scope consistent with the evidence.
- Consistent with Innovation Center and CMS capacity.

Race is on for EU's $1.3 billion science projects
BERLIN (AP) — Call it Europe's Got Talent for geeks.
Teams of scientists from across the continent are vying for a funding bonanza that could see two of them receive up to €1 billion ($1.33 billion) over 10 years to keep Europe at the cutting edge of technology.
The contest began with 26 proposals that were whittled down to six last year. Just four have made it to the final round.
They include a plan to develop digital guardian angels that would keep people safe from harm; a massive data-crunching machine to simulate social, economic and technological change on our planet; an effort to craft the most accurate computer model of the human brain to date; and a team working to find better ways to produce and employ graphene — an ultra-thin material that could revolutionize manufacturing of everything from airplanes to computer chips.
The two winners will be announced by the European Union's executive branch in Brussels on Jan. 28.
Initially, each project will receive €54 million from the European Union's research budget, an amount that will be matched by national governments and other sources. Further funding will depend on whether they reach certain milestones within the first 30 months, but over a decade it could total €1 billion each.
Securing such vast sums will be made harder by the austerity measures imposed by many financially drained European governments.
Still, the senior EU official overseeing the so-called Future and Emerging Technologies Flagships program is confident the money will be made available and insists the investment is necessary if Europe wants to match the success the CERN labs on the Swiss-French border that have become the world's premier center for particle research thanks to their $10 billion atom smasher.
"Supporting research and development is not a nice-to-have, it is essential because no investment means no chance for a better future," Neelie Kroes told The Associated Press in an email. "And especially during a crisis we all need something positive to look ahead to. Just cutting public expenditure and austerity don't bring new growth and jobs."
Kroes, whose title is European Commissioner for Digital Agenda, believes it will pay off. "By pooling resources across the EU and focusing on the two best projects we get a good shot at a manifold return on the investment," she said. Switzerland, Norway, Israel and Turkey, which are not part of the 27-nation EU, are also partnering in the program.

Now that the trees are gone and the damage is done, Dailey asked what the parks board could do about what she referred to as the theft of county property. Bailey said the parks commission certainly has grounds to sue Bowen, but wants to wait and see if the contractor does a satisfactory job repairing the damage before deciding on further action.
Jones said forestry officials are requiring Bowen to reseed every bit of soil he disturbed in Coonskin Park and to return the hillsides to as close as possible to their original contour before giving him his timbering license back. Because the logging took place in a public park, he said forestry officials are making Bowen do more than if he had logged on private land.
Records on file in the Secretary of State's office show that Russell Trucking LLC, Bowen's company, had its state business license revoked in December 2012. State and county tax records also indicate Bowen owes $89,000 in Workers' Compensation and $23,000 in tax liens.
Parks officials didn't know about the revoked license and unpaid Workers' Compensation at the time they made the agreement with Bowen. Bailey said they didn't think to look, because Bowen presented a valid timbering permit and certificates of insurance when he agreed to do the work at the park.
It is still unclear how the contractor was able to get a timbering permit with a revoked business license and insurance coverage with unpaid Workers' Compensation liens.
"There are systems in place, and sometimes they fail," Bailey said. "They failed here."

Welcome, guest
Wed Oct 29, 2008
The first half of 2008 saw 83 fund launches with a minimum of $50 million in capital, a number that fell well short of the 136 launches recorded in the same period in 2007.
At $30.37 billion, however, the value of assets slightly exceeded last year's first half, when $30.13 billion was raised. This reflects an important trend in the hedge fund industry, in which assets are increasingly being concentrated in fewer hands. At the same time, the dramatically deteriorating financial environment has compelled many aspiring managers to delay their launch until market conditions improve.
Our table of the top 20 hedge fund launches accounts for $23.95 billion, or 79%, of the grand total, while the top 10 launches on this list have raised two-thirds of the capital, or $19.92 billion. A handful of megalaunches by the top five players – Goldman Sachs, Brevan Howard, Conatus Capital...

My question would be: Who keeps a huge collection of adult photos anymore on their local machine, except for someone who produces such media for a living? Isn't that what the Internet is for? I am hard pressed (no pun intended) to think of a place where one might need that much gettin' off material and not be near a Internet connection of some sort.
...And don't say airplane, because (1) if you're rich enough to be alone, you won't be in the air that long; and (2) if you're flying commercial... well, you really don't wanna be known as THAT guy. Keep your paws off your privates until the hotel, horndog. To the OP: I don't know a short-term solution, but you may want to consider syncing a smaller subset of your... ahem... inspirational illustrations in the future, to avoid being unable to update apps and such. EDIT: Don't feel like you're alone, OP. Lots of people have been in your situation. Heck, even Gabe of Penny Arcade has before.

Google Maps has a super zoom
Google Maps apparently has a super zoom function for certain locations. Some of them are additional images inserted for partners like National Geographic, but others are actual satelilite photos of random locations. To access the super zoom function just do this:
1. Select a location and switch to satellite view
2. Zoom in as far as you can, and click "link to this page†at the top right
3. Replace the "z" parameter in the URL with a higher value like 20, 22, or 23
It's actually kind of scary to think about. The original zoom levels were okay, but this is to the point where privacy is actually an issue. That guy looks like he's actually staring at the camera. How can I do my daily nude cartwheels knowing Google might be watching me from space?

AUSTIN — Texas programs serving students, the needy and the unemployed could lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year if federal officials step off the fiscal cliff, budget experts said Tuesday, and defense spending could be cut by billions.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Very clear deep reddish brown color with a ¼ of tan foam made of small bubbles. The head was with me for almost a minute, but fell because of an amazing lack of bubblage from below.
Aroma: Some mild toasty malt character as well as an assertive fruity plum aroma. You can smell the alcohol in this beer as a defined spiciness to go with the fruit. There is a subtle caramel aroma. As the beer warms a bit, you can pick out the alcohol a lot more as a sherry-like aroma that reminds me a tad of a Barley Wine or Old Ale.
Taste: The flavor is very aggressive and pretty much dominated by the hop bitterness. I get a little toasty malt here, but it takes a back seat to the hops. There is some noticeable astringency that I believe is from the hops also. The dry bitterness leads the flavor profile all the way to the finish. Shortly after the swallow there is a very evident warming on the back of the throat from the alcohol to linger for some time.
Opinion: Well, I must say that this is HUGE for an Altbier! I have drank gallons of Alt in Düsseldorf, and this beer is beyond any of that. I am surprised to see that it says enjoy by Aug 1, 06 on the label as this beer is too big for that. I think that this may end up being a pretty good beer after lagering for at least another year which is my plan I put a bottle in my lagering fridge to see what happens in 07. I think that this beer will likely turn out OK, but be warned that it is really green right now and drink at your own risk!

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
2006 vintage, sampled in 2010.
Pours an orange hue, with distinctly drawn yellow highlights. Starts cloudy, but clears as it warms.
Aroma is that of candied orange peel, very sweet, very simple. Not particularly inspiring, but fine, all the same.
Taste certainly has a bit of the cellar in it, a touch musty, decidedly mellow, with a just-barely rough finish from the hops. There is the honeyed suggestion of a stronger, and frankly, more British style of strong ale than that of a traditional sticke alt. A kind of roasted meat flavor creeps up here and there.
Mouthfeel is fine and well. Could stand to be a hair firmer to off-set the sweetness, but that may be the result of a half-decade of age.
Drinkability is fairly low; one is fine -- even a half glass would work for me. Split a bottle with someone, as this is more of a curio than anything else.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Bottle: Poured a deep hazy brown color alt with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of deep caramel malt is very nice with some subtle toffee notes also noticeable. Taste is very refreshing with some rich caramel malt notes and some balance sweetness. Hops are very hard to distinguish which is a good thing since the malt bill is generous enough and need no complement. Full body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting take on the style and easily drinkable.

Pours a hazy brown with a tan head. Light lace and good retention. Nose has raw malts, caramel, toffee, peppery yeast and faded floral hops. Taste is nice and malty with herbal spices and sweet candy. Medium body is well carbonated and drinks well. Nice example of the style. Has aged well.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
A - Murky dark chesnut brown. Head is about a finger thick and light brown. Quickly fades to a very thin cap of foam. Leaves rings of lace down the glass.
S - Rich malty aroma with lots of fresh baked bread and a hint of caramel. Light hint of alcohol in the nose as well. Earthiness underneath begins to come through stronger as the beer warms.
T - Malty sweet up front with lots of caramel and breadiness mixed together nicely. Earthy spiciness as well but domintaed by the maltiness. Surpisingly strong booziness given that it is under 9%.
M/D - Medium to full bodied and very chewy. Very malty is that is your thing. Booziness brings the drinkability down a notch.

2006 Vintage
A: Pours an unfiltered cloudy brown color that is completely opaque. The head is pretty frothy and retains fairly well.
S: Definitely malt dominant. Lots of wheat and bready notes as well. Also picking up some sweet caramel, brown sugar, and the classic German yeast. Slightly fruity as well.
T: Same as the nose. Malt dominant, wheat is big, yeast is unique and plays a big part in the flavor profile. Sweet caramel, sugars, and fruits.
MF/D: Medium/heavy mouthfeel, wheaty lingering finish.
Overall not too bad, just not terribly complex or delicious. Worth a try though.

I drank this from the bottle into a chalice.
I pop the cap and come back after writing an email and thier is 2 inch growth hanging from the bottle. There is huge carbonation that is chunky and heavy and puffy. When its poured into the glass the beer is very dark brillant amber color with a huge 5 finger light tan head that lasts several minutes. The peak of the head is awesome with big bublles and creaminess that makes you want to let your lips sleep on it. The lacing is great. As that huge head falls it coats the whole glass, like a film falling all the way to the body.
The aroma is very malty, lots of sweetness and spice.
The taste is almost very malty, reminds me of a lighter quad. There is light hops and a very nutmeg spice finish that lasts a little to long.
The mouthfeel is very heavy and sticky

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pours a very nice looking ruby red/amber color that is practically opaque in appearance with a super rich inch+ of thick fluffy off white head.
I get a huge whiff of brown sugar/caramel as I am pouring this, wow, that is a very sweet/saccharine-y smell emanating from this pour. Once it settles the extremely sweet smell remains as does a bit of a lemony citrus smell but mainly its rich, sweet malt, brown sugar and just a hint of dark unfiltered apple cider.
Taste is a lot of that rich sweet malt, some bitterness in the finish but a lot of those smells come out in the taste, definitely the apple cider, some tart and tangy cherry and a bit of lemon peel. Very rich and sweet but very drinkable and delicious.
Great stuff, this one is on the way out (but still excellent) so I can imagine some of the fresh stuff is amazing.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a dimpled mug. Appears a hazed rich amber color with about a finger of light tan foam. The head leaves no lace to speak of. Smell and tastes is sweet and malty, with notes of toasted bread, toffee, caramel, and a touch of bitter earthy hops. medium in both body and carbonation. Worthy of at least a try.

A bright amber with shreds of banana and cherry smeared across. The head was initially prominent, it's now desisted mostly to the belt line. Some spots are darker and miry while others shine against the light. Indeed, the beer offers a painter's palate worth of amber toned colours. Let's hope it offers just as much from the gourmand's palate as well!
There isn't much left out for the nose except copious amounts of buttery caramel but that's more than enough to quickly fix it in close in a magnet-like fashion. Worth mentioning also are tangy herbals, fragrant flowers and over-ripening, alcohol drenched fruits.
The beer's virtues are much more vividly tasted. The dry, bready flavour of various grains - rye, most distinctively - make up the breadth and body of the beer. Each sip lathers the palate in a light spice, an herbal hop bitterness, almonds, a drop of molasses and a few heaping tablespoons of thick caramel. This is tremendously (deliciously) malty.
The Düsseldorf board of tourism might as well set up shop in Downingtown Pennsylvania. If there was ever one good reason to travel to North Rhine-Westphalia then Victory quite clearly makes the case. I can't speak with confidence to the historical accuracy of the style but I can certainly attest to the tastiness and craftsmanship of this rendition.
It may be a Doppelsticke but this is as rich as a Doppelbock. Although the alcohol is noticed, there's enough sticky sweet maltiness to bury it from memory by the conclusion of each sip. It persists still to leave a bit of a buzz in the mouth, aided surely by the spicy tang of the hops. Despite its warming element, the beer is still incessantly refreshing.
Apparently Victory believes their Doppelsticke might have been the first of its kind brewed in the US. Although I doubt that claim, I wouldn't at all dispute that it's the best of its kind in the US. It's a very good thing the brewery decided to continue to brew this long after their tenth anniversary - not to would have been nothing short of cruel. Thanks DrJay!

3 Finger + beige head. Big bubbles. Good Structure Deep amber color with mostly brown tones. Good clarity.
Huge Earthy/Musty aroma. Some minerals as well. A bit stinky to be honest. (doesn't smell "bad")
Tastes dirty to me... Interesting... Dark berries, thick malt... Big bitterness or roasted flavor. Slight sweetness underneath this all.
Big Mouth feel and almost puckering...

A: Reddish brown with a beautiful, crisp rust-colored head. Plenty of visible carbonation. Great lacing.

Similar to many of the darker American Strong Ales that I've had. There are some slightly spicy notes in addition to the aforementioned aromas.
M: Medium-to-full body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Very nice. Some slight alcohol presence.
D: Could definitely drink this all day.

Building Reusable Java Widgets
There are a few interesting extensions you could make to this class, and I leave them to you:
Generic separator: To create a horizontal separator you might want to create a HorizontalSeparator class. But why not think about creating a single class that does both depending on how it is placed? It would need to know if it were placed in a vertical or horizontal region and render itself appropriately.
Additional features: The separator we created has a fixed width of 2 pixels and is etched. Change or extend your class to support a variable width and the option of etched, raised or flat.
The e-mail entry widget represents a simple entry form used to gather information from a user. It is a composite widget built with standard AWT components. This example widget is important in the way that it interacts with other classes. This class broadcasts customized events which can be captured by any interested object in the system. The ability to broadcast custom events to listeners of those events is critical in creating a reusable widget. The e-mail widget will have a done and cancel button. Remember, you do not want other objects to have direct access to these buttons or the events that they generate. Why? Suppose the e-mail widget changes down the line and no longer uses a button click to signify completion. Every object that uses the class will break and will have to be rewritten. If you hide these events, how can your widget notify interested parties of its changes in state? You must generate widget specific events and create listeners of these events. These events must make semantic sense to the action of the e-mail widget. We will see how this is done in a moment, but first let's create its visual appearance.
The visual layout of the e-mail entry form is created in its constructor. The widget consists of a text field, a label and two buttons.
Class EmailEntry extends Panel implements ActionListener { public EmailEntry() { super() ; _doneButton = new Button( "Done" ); _cancelButton = new Button( "Cancel" ) ; _emailField = new TextField( 40 ) ; // build a sub-panel for the buttons. Panel = new Panel() ; buttonPanel.add( _doneButton ) ; buttonPanel.add( _cancelButton ) ; // install the components in the widget this.setLayout( new BorderLayout() ) ; this.add( "West", new Label( "Enter your e-mail address")); this.add( "Center", _emailField) ; this.add( "South", buttonPanel ) ; // forward events to myself _doneButton.addActionListener( this ) ; _cancelButton.addActionListener( this ) } }
Notice that in the widget subclasses Panel, I chose panel as the superclass so that I can inherit its layout capabilities. Also notice the class implements the ActionListener interface. This means that the class is allowed to listen to action events (the events that are generated by buttons). Toward the end of the constructor the class registers itself (in the call to addActionListener) as a listener of both push buttons.
You must determine the events that your widget will generate. I have chosen to create a single event class, the EmailEntryEvent that can represent either "user is done" or "user canceled" state. When you create your event class keep in mind that it must maintain sufficient information to act on the event. In this example the event must store the e-mail address that was entered. Listing 2 shows the EmailEntryEvent class. Notice that I have created two constructors. When the constructor is passed an e-mail string, an e-mail entry event of type done is created. If no information is passed to the constructor, an event of type cancel is created. The e-mail entry widget has the responsibility of invoking the proper constructor (a reasonable request of the widget).
When an event is broadcast to a listener, specific methods of the listener class are invoked. You might think of these as "callbacks". The listener interface defines these methods. The interface ensures that any class intended to be a listener has the methods needed to handle the event. The e-mail entry listener interface is shown in Listing 3. Any class that wishes to be a listener of EmailEntryEvents is required to implement a done method and a cancel method.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Sam Presti Proves His 'Genius' with the James Harden Trade
One of the unexpected joys of living in Southern California is that I'm constantly surrounded by people involved in sports. Everybody is located here, from coaches, athletes, players, trainers, to, well, you name it. For a sports nerd like me, living here is total nirvana; like giving a young musician an all-access pass to Coachella or something. You know, if the all-access pass was 24 hours a day, for 365 days a year.
Well, since I've gotten here, there has been this one guy that I've particularly enjoy hanging out with. I can't give you his name, because unlike me he has a real job, with real responsibility and could get in real trouble if I ever put his name out in public (in the industry, I believe he's what someone might call a "source."). What I can tell you though is that the dude works at a major sports agency, with many major clients that you've definitely heard of. And the guy is plugged-in. He's already told me a handful of epic stories that seemed to be too crazy to be true… until they were in fact proven true shortly after he shared them.
Anyway, he and I were grabbing beers and talking hoops one night when the topic of the Oklahoma City Thunder came up. Eventually Oklahoma City GM Sam Presti's name arose and when it did, I will never forget the look on my buddy's face. He stopped what he was doing, looked me square in the eye, got super-serious and said something to the effect:
"Dude, Sam Presti is a f***ing genius.
He's got stuff planned out so far down the road you can't even imagine."
Those are some damn strong words, and I couldn't help but think of them Saturday night after Presti made the boldest move of his career Saturday night, trading one of the league's rising young stars in James Harden. More important than the player was the timing though, as it came just days before the Thunder were set to defend their Western Conference title.

Guest Author - Amelia Tucker
This final article in the Spellwork series is dedicated to all things green. There are many of us who feel a special or spiritual connection to green plants and herbs. For some, it is these very things that call when we are thinking of creating our spells and rituals. Smelling the earth itself can clarify our thoughts. The clean scent of a brushed LemonBalm leaf or the sharp clear zing of a Mint leaf can evoke a reaction or remind us of what our spell's purpose is.
Here are some of the common herbs that grow in our gardens. Is there one here that is particularly special to you? If so, learn as much as you can about that plant's meaning. It may be that you have a connection to it for a deeper reason than simple attraction to beauty.
Anise-spicy and sweet, this licorice scented herb is for purification and protection. Also aids in creative endeavors.
Rosemary-crisp and clarifying, the scent of Rosemary is instantly recognized by almost anyone with basic knowledge of cooking and herbs. Rosemary is used for protection courage, strength and cleansing.
Thyme-This herb has an unassuming appearance and yet if crushed, the heady perfume of its leaves is surprising. It is true that the best things often come in small packages as very often Thyme is found along walkways and considered a foil or groundcover in a flowerbed. It can be grown amongst the rocks and accidentally brushed or stepped on to release its powerful scent. Thyme is used in magic for warding off negativity, healing and psychic power.
Sage-There are many different types of Sage, some more fragrant when burned than others but all can be used in this fashion. White sage is most often used in smudgesticks and specifically for its scent but common garden Sage is not to be overlooked for its unusual smell either. For magical purposes, Sage is used for immortality, wisdom as well as its best known: purification.
Nettle- This herb is so often overlooked in a gardener's idea of welcome plants and herbs. It is too bad as not only does Nettle offer a delicious food source, it is also found on most any field or backyard that has a bit of overgrowth. Nettles is used not surprisingly, for protection, repelling bad influences, deflection and the like.
Dill- Here is a common herb. Spicy and pungent, Dill offers more than just a pickle's companionship. Dill is magically used for money, love and protection spells.
Garlic-This herb should be used wisely. You can use too much and it ruins the best of dishes. This applies magically as well as Garlic is for power spells and we all know what too much power ruins anyone.
When writing this article, choosing the herbs was easy for me. I wrote the first few that came to mind and only stopped when I had to actually take a mental breathe to start again. Greenwitchery is my special place. It is what comes naturally for me when choosing my spellwork and finding my center.
There are so many herbs and plants that call to me. If you have a particular herb you would like to know the magical meaning of, email me or visit our forum for more information.
As you garden, think of what spell you are planning and gather those herbs that seem to fit to place on the altar. You will visualize your spell's purpose as well as smell, touch and admire its beauty. Magic is all around us from the tiniest Thyme leaf to the largest Nettle patch. We only have to look and really see it.

My lovely bride of 35 years gave me an iPad for our anniversary this past Monday, March 4. So I'm getting acquainted with a new gadget. It's an iPad 3 with the retina display, in a 32 gb size.
I've been using an iPhone since 2010 so the basic knowledge is familiar but I have several questions after reading here.
Primarily, are all iPads wifi and cellular data capable?
At the time of purchase the sales guy asked her, "Do you want a data package?"
We are on AT&T and a family plan so she took that to mean "did we want cellular service?"
Was that the correct interpretation of his question, or do I need to swap this unit for one that will work with wifi and our AT&T service?
If I need to take the questions to a different section of the board please let me know and I'll get it to the right section pronto.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Real name is Rick, best to all.

It's official - Capcom & Disney have realized how to print money.
It's official - Capcom & Disney have realized how to print money.
June Foray still got it with Magica de spell. So far the Transylvania level looks incredible.
I wish they would release a soundtrack to the game already. I would love to hear the tunes from my Ipod touch. I know I'm already digging how the music in the levels of Amazon and Transylvania sound.
I suspect they're waiting until game's actually done before releasing the soundtrack, although it would be a great bit of marketing if they released it a couple of days before the game itself.
I'd rather wait to experience the game with the music. I like when I listen and can tie my experience to it.
Yeah, that sounds awesome and I love that they've reimagined it instead of just making a sort of high quality version of the original. Not that that wouldn't be great as well.

Quantifier elimination has a bit of a magical feel to it.
– Arnab Bhattacharyya (2011)
We would like to decide whether a given (finite) set of vectors is linearly independent. Let us first recall the definition of linear independence. From Dym's book [1], we have:
Definition: A set of vectors in a vector space over is said to be linearly independent over if the only scalars for which
are . This is just another way of saying that you cannot express one of these vectors in terms of the others.
In this post we are interested in sets of real vectors and, thus, we shall restrict our attention to the case where . Asserting that a given (finite) set of vectors is linearly independent is the same as stating that the set of vectors under study is not linearly dependent. Therefore, we now recall Dym's definition [1] of linear dependence:
Definition: A set of vectors in a vector space over is said to be linearly dependent over if there exists a set of scalars , not all of which are zero, such that
Notice that this permits you to express one or more of the given vectors in terms of the others.
From this definition it follows that saying that a given (finite) set of vectors is linearly dependent is the same as stating that the following existentially quantified formula
evaluates to . Please do note that is a vector equation encapsulating scalar equations of the form
where is the -th component of vector . Finally, we conclude that a given (finite) set of vectors being linearly independent is equivalent to the following formula
evaluating to . We can determine the truth value of the formula above using quantifier elimination.
Consider the three following vectors in
, , .
Is the set of vectors linearly independent (over )? It is not, as . However, we would like to arrive at this conclusion using quantifier elimination. Note that in this example we have (number of vectors), and (dimensionality).
The vector equation then becomes
which yields two (scalar) equations: and . Note that the vector equation above also yields two redundant equations of the form , which we happily discard.
The set of vectors is linearly independent (over ) if and only if the following existentially quantified formula
evaluates to . Using the following REDUCE + REDLOG script, we can determine the truth value of the formula above:
% decide the linear independence of a set of vectors load_package redlog; rlset ofsf; % define linear functions f1 := alpha1; f2 := alpha2; f3 := alpha3; f4 := alpha1 + alpha3; f5 := alpha2 + alpha3; % define existentially quantified formula phi := not ex({alpha1,alpha2,alpha3}, not (f1=0 and f2=0 and f3=0) and f4=0 and f5=0); % perform quantifier elimination rlqe phi; end;
This script returns , which allows us to conclude that the set of vectors is, indeed, not linearly independent.
This post was inspired by Arnab Bhattacharyya's recent blog post on quantifier elimination.
