No Takesies-Backsies: VMware Lays Claim to Vert.x
In an announcement yesterday on the Vert.x Google Group, project leader Tim Fox announced his bizarre experience with his former employer VMware's legal team:
On the 28th December I received a letter from VMware lawyers (delivered to my door in person, no less!) that I must immediately give up and transfer to VMware all administrative rights over the following things: The Vert.x github project, the Vert.x google group, the domain vertx.io and the Vert.x blog.
Vert.x is a polyglot, event-driven application framework that runs on JVM. It is a direct competitor with Node.js.
Fox had apparently been under the impression that Vert.x was "a community project sponsored by VMware" while he led the project as an employee of VMware. However, possibly because Fox led the project using company resources and while employed by VMware, Fox lost ownership of the project when he left VMware in December to join Red Hat.
It is unclear what this means for the future of the Vert.x project. Some have expressed concern that VMware may apply these shenanigans to other projects that they sponsor, like Redis.
For now, ownership of Vert.x's domain, blog, GitHub, and Google Group have been transferred to VMware. A new project leader has yet to be announced.
Update, Jan. 10: VMware and Red Hat have posted a joint response to Fox's aforementioned Google Group post. Here's the full text:
What Tim has stated has obviously raised concerns on this group and elsewhere. So it's important that we try to allay any fears and uncertainty that the community has about the vert.x project and state clearly that VMware and Red Hat are still very much in active discussion regarding how best to support the vert.x project going forwards. This is something that both companies are extremely keen to do.
We've been discussing various options, including whether to move the project to an open source software foundation, and would very much like to hear the views of the community.
Tim's continued status as project lead is something that both companies feel is an essential component to the success of the project. We see no reason for this to change and wish to assure everyone on that point.
With the benefit of the support from *both* Red Hat and VMware we agree that the vert.x project has an excellent opportunity to continue to build on its popularity and successes to date and have an exciting 2013.
We'd really appreciate if everyone was patient and continued to contribute positively to the discussions on the future in this public forum, as has been the case. Many thanks to all of the input - it has not gone unnoticed.
For RedHat: Mark Little, VP Red Hat/JBoss.
For VMware: Alexis Richardson, Senior Director, VMware Inc.

I took a quick look at the github project:
1) It's Apache licensed: forking is entirely legal by anyone and indeed a nice Github feature.
2) Instead of assigning copyright to specific entity, the license in each source file simply states: "Copyright 2011-2012 the original author or authors". That is interesting because in my interpretation that means that anyone who ever committed or had a pull request accepted is a legal copyright holder. This would be of interest in case of a relicensing effort, which I think is extremely unlikely for this reason.
3) There appears to be no copyright transfer policy in place and the commit history is littered with commits from people not employed by vmware, either directly or through pull request. All that work is effectively not owned by vmware.
4) The trademark may indeed belong to vmware, if it was registered at all. I'm assuming vmware legal was involved with setting that up. Owning the trademark is of course a very weak basis for taking command of a project in what is usually a meritocracy driven open source project.
So, all it would take is a fork and a project rename to cut loose from vmware. Whether that is feasible or desirable depends purely on how much of a contributor vmware is and has been to this project.
I have to agree with the author that this is a somewhat bizarre action by vmware. I don't see how this can result in anything but a lot of lost goodwill & momentum. Vmware should worry about not turning into the next Oracle here. Oracle owns a lot of defunct open source projects where the community has walked away (mysql, jenkins, open office). That could happen to vmware as well. I'd say they deserve to be slapped around in public for this cluster fuck for a while.

Do both please take a look at the joint statement that VMware and Red Hat posted to the discussion thread.
Characterising this as somehow "hostile" is not helpful, all parties are working together on a way to take this forward with the community.
Jilles Van Gurp replied on Thu, 2013/01/10 - 2:45am in response to: Andy Piper
Things seem to be headed the right way indeed.
As for the hostile bit; sending a lawyer to somebodies doorstep as the first move is certainly a practice that needs to be discouraged. I'm glad that Red Hat and VMWare are now trying to sort this out the grown up way and are planning to keep Tim involved as the project lead. That's pretty much the best possible outcome.
Jilles Van Gurp replied on Thu, 2013/01/10 - 9:29am in response to: Andy Piper
The original email from the project lead is linked from this post, I read it and responded to that as a whole. I did not see the vmware reply. That's not hearsay.
The whole picture is:
1) lawyers contacted a project lead to essentially hand over control (thats's bad)
2) an email went out (minor shock for vmware to be confronted with what was a stupid move to begin with, I imagine)
3) people started communicating, which they should have tried from day 1
4) vmware and red hat sent out a joint announcement
Now 4 happened before my reply and I missed that. So in that sense I didn't have the full picture indeed. That doesn't really invalidate anything I said as far as I see though.
Channing Benson replied on Tue, 2013/01/15 - 1:56pm in response to: Jilles Van Gurp
The "whole picture"?
So the very first shot fired in this skirmish was VMware (completely unprovoked) sending out the lawyers? Hmmm. Now, I don't claim to know if this is the case, but it seems unlikely that there was not a Step 0.5 that preceded Step 1.
And while you admit later that "I didn't have the full picture indeed", this lack of information doesn't invalidate that statement when you made it?
BTW, hearsay, in essence is accepting a single person's account as the complete truth without considering any supporting or opposing evidence. (Legally, it's a bit different than that, but this isn't a court.)
It's clear from Mr. Fox's depiction of the events that he is slanting them to paint this as Big Bad Company assails Philanthropic Software Developer. Why the parenthetical phrase "(perhaps naively)? Why include the detail about the letter being delivered in person? (I think he should have gone a little further and added the fact that when they came to the door they interrupted his all-time favorite episode of Sponge Bob Square Pants and he totally missed the part where Sponge Bob goes spatula shopping. That is a priceless moment he'll never get back.) [This is where Google AdSense inserts a promotional item for Tivo.]
I don't want to pick on Red Hat, but if this letter was in fact vetted by their lawyers and presumably Tim's manager, then they were remiss in not suggesting that those completely unnecessary flourishes be edited out. So.... They were either intentionally confrontational or unintentionally insensitive and clumsy. Furthermore, whether right or wrong in their motives for making these legal demands on Mr. Fox, if they wanted to make them in an enforceable manner, they *had* to be delivered in person. Surely you've seen this kind of thing on TV: "You've been served."
Jilles Van Gurp replied on Tue, 2013/01/15 - 3:14pm in response to: Channing Benson
Not wanting to pick any nits here but the paragraph that everybody here seems to have issues with was:
I have to agree with the author that this is a somewhat bizarre action by vmware. I don't see how this can result in anything but a lot of lost goodwill & momentum. Vmware should worry about not turning into the next Oracle here. Oracle owns a lot of defunct open source projects where the community has walked away (mysql, jenkins, open office). That could happen to vmware as well. I'd say they deserve to be slapped around in public for this cluster fuck for a while.
That's an opinion on VMWare's initial conduct in this case and I don't retract a single letter of it. In fact, everything that has happened since has re-enforced me in this opinion which I think was neither premature nor inappropriate. Heresay would imply I was responding to rumors. Instead I was replying to the original mail by mr. Fox as well as my own analysis of what's there on Github. Mr. Fox is the undisputed (and that apparently includes vmware) project lead of this project and not just another guy. So, rather factual IMNSHO and quite far from heresay. The two combined led me to the above opinion.
Vmware trying to fix what was a bad move to begin with doesn't actually change the fact that it looked the way it looked (pretty bad) and that it needed fixing. I can totally see why they wanted to undo as much of the damage done in light of the PR shit storm that inevitably started brewing and I agree their joint letter with Red Hat was a good move in that respect. This doesn't change the fact I that I think they shouldn't have gotten themselves into that situation to begin with and are rightly being slapped around by world + dog for it now, like I suggested was appropriate.
I disagree with you that serving notices was vmware's only option and I share your other analysis that this in all likelihood corporate stupidity. Serving notices to someone you intend to maintain a constructive working relation with (which vmware apparently wants to do) is not exactly a smart thing to do. That just isn't a productive way to conduct yourself in the OSS community.
To be clear, as far as I can see Red Hat had no other role in this other than doing their part in making sure this got resolved amicably, after the cat got out of the bag.
All I did was call that out.
The rest of my comment was just some analysis on what the options were in terms of forking and IP ownership. All of that is still valid. None of that is heresay or particularly provocative. It's just me looking at what's on github (licenses, commit history) and pointing out that vmware's claims to anything else but the trademark are pretty weak. All that would have made a fork pretty much inevitable if vmware hadn't chosen to resolve this amicably in the end. The point being that they never really had any other alternative. Sueing would have permanently lost them this project community.

Thread: Bengals need a Love Boat....
Bengals need a Love Boat....
The love boat with Gopher, non alcoholic beverages, and some chaperons.
Maybe Marv and Chad need to talk to these players.
The Viking were a media spectacle with less going on than this.
Drunk driving is just not as sexy as sex and scandal.
They also need to start a Character Counts Class in Cincy for these players. Holy Cow!
NFL may suspend Bengals' Thurman further
Sept. 25, 2006, 5:47PM
CINCINNATI — Coach Marvin Lewis expects middle linebacker Odell Thurman to be suspended for the rest of the season following his arrest early Monday on a drunken driving charge, making him the sixth Cincinnati Bengal arrested this year.
The troubled offseason of Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has continued, with the one-year veteran arrested early Saturday and charged with speeding and operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI), the Ohio State Highway Patrol has confirmed.
The arrest is the third since December for Henry, who was already facing possible league sanctions under the terms of the NFL personal conduct policy. Henry is also the second Bengals player arrested this week. Rookie linebacker A.J. Nicholson, a fifth-round selection in the April draft, was charged Saturday with burglarizing the apartment of a former Florida State teammate.
CINCINNATI (July 30, 2006) -- Cincinnati signed third-round pick Frostee Rucker, one of four Bengals arrested in the past two months, to a four-year contract, bringing the last of their draft picks into camp.
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
The 6-foot-3, 263-pound defensive end had 6½ sacks and an interception last season at Southern California. He also had 14 tackles for losses.
Re: Bengals need a Love Boat
Maybe their fans can just call the team's Jerk line...(513) 381-JERK.
Re: Bengals need a Love Boat
Living inside the dreaded AFC North triangle between Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, you can trust me that this gets lots of talk around here.
Bengals fans have to hear it from the Clowns and Steelers fans about this all of the time.
The Bengals 3-0 start has helped to keep the wolves at bay somewhat.
It does seem as though nationally the "Love Boat" crap from last year received much more air time.
No matter where you stand on the "Love Boat" incident, one must admit that putting innocent lives at risk by continued drunken driving should not be tolereated to the estent that it has been in Cincy so far.I was brain-washed as a child into becoming a Viking fan in Ohio of all places.
Re: Bengals need a Love Boat....
I dont understand how they can get into so muchg trouble with the law but the spotlight is still on us for something that happen last year!
Re: Bengals need a Love Boat....
Drunk driving and DUIs are not exciting.
Heck just about every writer has had one!
Therefore, it is not a bad thing.
Sorry writers!
It was really a three ring circus in MN last year.
A lot of it was our own media that was willing to sell and push the story.
This goes to show, that winning, helps keep these thing partially under the rug.
Also, shows that they don't have a code of conduct in Cincy.
Might even show that the media was sick of our players and Tice, head hunting?

Deal Made In Columbus Slaying Case
COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) - A 26-year-old man has pleaded guilty to a lesser murder charge and agreed to testify against two other people charged with stabbing to death a Columbus man.
The Columbus Telegram reports that Quentin Critser, of Lincoln, made his plea on Thursday morning in Platte County District Court. Prosecutors lowered the charge from first-degree murder in return for Critser's plea.
Critser is expected to testify in January against 31-year-old Eric Henry and 32-year-old Kimberly Henderson, who are charged with first-degree murder and use of a weapon. The three are accused of killing Steven Jorgensen at Jorgensen's Columbus home on May 18.
Authorities say the three intended to rob the 51-year-old Jorgensen, but the robbery turned violent when Jorgensen resisted.
Critser's sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 13.

LoveWay recently received a donation stemming from a collaboration between many local manufacturing companies.
This week the therapeutic equestrian center took ownership of a 2012 Lakota Horse Trailer. According to LoveWay staff, the project began with Brent Becker of Mishawaka Sheet Metal and his wife Shelley, an instructor at LoveWay. Becker contacted Lakota to share his thoughts on manufacturers uniting to donate their products to produce a trailer for the center. The idea was taken up by Lakota as owner George Thomas took the lead in making the donation a reality. He encouraged his vendors to donate the materials needed for the trailer.
Contributors to the trailer donation include: Lippert Components Inc., Mishawaka Sheet Metal, Tredit Tires, Performance Graphics/Patrick Industries, Postle Distributing and Shipshewana Harness and Supplies.
According to the organization's staff, the horse trailer makes it possible for LoveWay to transport horses needing off-site veterinary care, pick up and deliver new and retiring horses and take ponies on field trips to area schools and nursing homes, among other expected uses of the trailer.
LoveWay Inc. Equine Assisted Services is a not-for-profit organization that specializes in the use of horses and ponies to improve the lives of children and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities in the Elkhart County area.LoveWay is an accredited center of Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International and operates year round.

Woods 42C-4 Belly Mower
I have a woods 42C-4 belly mower in need of a belt, what size belts fits this mower, it is mounted under a 1976 Cub. Appreciate the help
This tractor/mower combination calls for a Woods belt part # 1469. This belt measures approximately 21/32" X 133" in size.
Do not use a fractional HP rated belt (is C series belt) as it will quickly fail. These types of belts are not made to be twisted, the Woods belts are.
Cub Cadets....Engineered for people who know better!
Charles Story: you can check the length that Ken gave you easily by using a length of 1/2 " poly rope, inserting it as if it was the belt. it's an easy way to check the approx. length.

(High Complexity Laboratory Director) Global Microbiologist and International Educator
Enhancing the microbial world to benefit patient care.
Bench to Bedside - Bench to Clinical Microbiology
My symposiums and presentations have taken me to many different locations abroad.
Review my library of selected publications, book chapters, and textbooks.
Retirement and Professor Emeritus" WOW!!!!! Will update our ongoing research on probiotics , chronic wounds ,and the use of BARDOT to redefine rapid clinical assessment of wound isolates and triaging for infection control.
The years 2007 and 2008 saw the most extensive and incredible travel journey for me, and my wife, Penny. During and after the Sabbatical at Cardiff University, Wales, UK, July through December, fall 2007, Penny and I travelled to 16 countries, four continents and greater than 130,000 miles. I will summarize Key Points of each from a personal, scientific and educational perspective.
2007 has been an incredible year for increased awareness of biofilms. Everywhere one looks, from the "lay" literature to the scientific literature, new articles describe the impact of biofilms and chronic infections. Below is a summary of the events that we were intimately involved with and emphasize the growing awareness of biofilms.
Bac 2 Health Survey
Professor Thomas is presently Director of the Biofilm Research Laboratory for Translational Studies in Medicine, Dentistry, and Industry at West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, US and Senior Consultant to Clinical Microbiology , WVUH. He created the International Tri-University Biofilm Research Consortium in 2002 to further global investigations and education (www.hsc.wvu.edu/som/pathology/thomas), initially focusing on VAP and the MV ICU patient highlighting the oral -systemic link
He completed a six month Sabbatical at Cardiff University, School of Dental Medicine in 2008 and has travelled extensively, lecturing in 16 countries, four continents and to greater than 15,000 educators and public healthcare providers. He is co-organizer of the First Asia Pacific Biofilm Congress which is to be held in China, Spring 2011. He has published extensively on diverse microbial topics emphasizing oral biofilms and their importance in probiotic management, and their link to systemic diseases , chronic wounds, global antibiotic resistance and recently the tumor –biofilm connection.
Dr. Thomas integrates four academic and educational positions at West Virginia University: School of Medicine, Pathology, School of Dentistry, Periodontology, School of Pharmacy, and Graduate School, Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology. He also holds teaching positions at Rutgers University and internationally is a Visiting Professor (Honorary) at Cardiff University, School of Dental Medicine as a Academic Visitor, National University of Singapore, School of Dentistry.
In 2008, Dr. Thomas was invited to join the Scientific Advisory Council, American Dental Association (ADA), and in 2007, he was given the highest achievement award for University Teaching at WVU, recognized by students. In 2009, Dr. Thomas was awarded the Student Research Development Award by the School of Dentistry, having received the award in 2006 and 1998
His translational research continues to focus on biofilms but has expanded to include VAP in the NICU, chronic wounds , the use of probiotics, and biofilms as tumors via pre-clinical trials and engineered simulators for each ; Dr Thomas, as a co PI, recently received a $1.35 million NIH/Homeland Security grant with Purdue University collaborators, to evaluate a rapid detection system for food borne pathogens and potential bio-terrorist modified organisms.

"But Lewis didn't take kindly to threats of litigation as an inducement for the city and county to let the advocacy groups dictate term"
What else does the people have when those elected seem to only respond to special interest themselves and not the majority?
What America really needs to understand is the consequences of their votes, we see it all the time, especially on a Federal level. We see someone vote Democrat then complain, vote Republican then complain. Not smart enough to realize the problem is both parties those interest that finance them. I've seen it on city and county issues (especially in Seattle and King County) when I lived there.
The only voice left for citizens is lawsuits (sadly).. But that is reality.

This move by Phusion Projects comes a day before the The Food and Drug Administration issued warning letters to four manufacturers of alcoholic energy drinks, saying the caffeine added to their beverages is an "unsafe food additive."
The Four Loko company says it will also remove guarana and taurine from the drink. The moves will be nationwide.
In a statement Tuesday the company's founders said while they believe the combination of alcohol and caffeine is safe, "We are taking this step after trying - unsuccessfully - to navigate a difficult and politically-charged regulatory environment at both the state and federal levels."
The drinks were banned from our state this month following near fatal overdoses at college party.
The FDA said Wednsday the government could seize the caffinated products if the companies continue to make them.
Four Loko comes in several varieties, including fruit punch and blue raspberry. A 23.5-ounce can sells for about $2.50 and has an alcohol content of 12 percent, comparable to four beers, according to the company's website.
While there is little known medical evidence that the drinks are less safe than other alcoholic drinks, public health advocates say the drinks can make people feel more alert and able to handle tasks like driving. A Wake Forest University study found that students who combine caffeine and alcohol are more likely to suffer alcohol-related injuries than those drinking alcohol without caffeine.
Last year the FDA notified more than two dozen manufacturers of caffeinated alcoholic beverages that it never had specifically approved the addition of caffeine to alcoholic drinks and began studying whether it was unsafe and should be outlawed. The agency noted the mix's growing popularity among college students and its potential health and safety issues.
The FDA said then it had not reached a conclusion about the drinks' safety but cited concerns from several state attorneys general who contended the drinks appealed to underage drinkers and encouraged reckless behavior.

Poch plea to new Saints supremo
11:00pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in Sport By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
Mauricio Pochettino believes it is important for Katharina Liebherr to attend tomorrow's game at Sunderland.
The Saints boss wants the owner and new non-executive chairman to be "visible" in the wake of Nicola Cortese's departure.
Liebherr was at St Mary's yesterday afternoon, when she met briefly with Pochettino, but the Argentine does not know if she will be at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.
"In the five minutes I spoke with her she did not tell me whether she was coming and she did not tell me whether she was going to speak to the players, so I do not know," he said.
"My opinion would be to say yes, I think it would be important for her to be visible at the (Sunderland) game, but it is a very personal decision and she is the chairwoman for a reason – she can do as she pleases."
Yesterday's meeting was only the second time Pochettino has met with Liebherr, the daughter of Saints' late owner, Markus.
The previous time was at an end-of-season party following the conclusion of the previous campaign.
While Liebherr has not been involved with a football club before, Pochettino expects she will surround herself with suitable advisors.
"I would imagine that those people have people around them that do know about football – people such as myself," he said.
Pochettino also spoke of his admiration for the outgoing Cortese.
"I want to show my complete gratitude towards Nicola, he is the person who believed in me and who brought me here to Southampton," he said. "It's also my staff and our families that are full of gratitude towards Nicola.
"It is clear Nicola has great charisma, he has great charm.
"He also has a very tough character. He is driven, he is a great negotiator, he is already the full package."

Video: Couple chooses unique day, location to tie the knot
DENVER - One happy Colorado couple decided to make their wedding day even sweeter, by having it at the newly opened Voodoo Doughnut shop in Denver on 1/4/14 at 1:14 p.m.
Whether you believe it or not, Chris and Chanti Hayes said the wedding was not planned this way; they got lucky and it all seemed to fall right into place.
The Hayes' wanted to have their wedding at the Voodoo Doughnut shop and Wedding Chapel in Denver as soon as it opened. The newlyweds happened to be the very first couple to have their ceremony at the Denver location.
Voodoo Doughnut CEO Robin Ludwig said, having wedding ceremonies at the shop is a very common event in Portland, Oregon, and will hopefully become popular at the doughnut place in Denver too.
The Hayes' family said they tend to be quite nontraditional and thought Voodoos Doughnuts best represents their family.
Their wedding picture will go up on the wall and be a memory at the doughnut shop.
Every wedding the CEO pulls out a different costume for the event. The Hayes' experienced the chicken suit.
It is a fun and cheap way to get married and have a good time. Anybody who has a marriage certificate from the city can have their ceremony at the shop.

I was considering a rebuttal to this ATM idea, and realized that the argument appears to apply just as well to the standard cosmological model.
The crux of my question is how to resolve the apparent conflict between the following three principles:
1) Space-time is isotropic in space.
2) Space-time is evolving in time.
3) There is no preferred frame of reference.
Essentially, the evolution of space allows the photon density to form a local clock at each point in space. If this clock is isotropic in some reference frame, then the photon density age of the universe forms a global clock in this frame.
If an observer is moving relative to this isotropic frame, however, there would now be a gradient in the photon density along the direction of the boost. But this means the new frame is not isotropic, meaning that the original frame is a preferred frame of reference.
Where is my mistake in reasoning? Is this the CMBR frame?

Making a splash in Huddersfield!
Huddersfield Otters Water Polo Club have organised a marathon 12-hour Water Polo game to raise the profile of the sport in the town. About 70 past and present Otters will play through the night at the Stadium Pool from 7pm tonight until 7am on Sunday.
– Graham Smith, Club President
Water Polo is a tremendous sport but it rarely gets the TV coverage which encourages participation. However the Olympics have provided a great TV showcase for the sport and we believe it will have inspired many people to consider Water Polo. So our Club decided to have a unique event to show what the game is all about and to highlight that we have a very vibrant Club here in Huddersfield that would really welcome new members.
Most games last under an hour and the Club believes that this could be the longest water polo game ever played anywhere in the world.
– Paul Bentley, Lifelong member
It is pretty crazy to play for so long but this demonstrates two of the key things about Water Polo – you need to be fit and it is a lot of fun. Anyone aged 9 to 90 who can swim, is prepared to train and has a competitive nature could easily end up playing for one of our four teams.
Anyone interested in finding out more about Water Polo is invited to come along on the Saturday evening to watch. There is no admission charge, although voluntary donations would be appreciated. The Club hopes to raise £1,000 for the Forget-Me-Not Children's Hospice.

After the body of a Chesterfield woman was pulled from a burning home, police now are looking for the man she was living with.
Lloyd Warren Junior, 46, and the victim rented the home on the 13600 block of Duxton Drive. A medical examiner is determining the woman's cause of death, but officials are calling the fire suspicious.
Flames completely engulfed the house within about ten minutes, according to neighbors. Conditions made the home too dangerous for firefighters to enter. The side of a neighboring house was scorched and also hosed down. Ultimately, bulldozers took down the home, creating a pile of charred rubble.
Investigators say they discovered the victim's body about two hours after controlling the fire. Her name hasn't yet been released.
"We were pounding. We were kicking," said Michael Kennedy, who lives next door. He and two other neighbors tried to break in the burning home before firefighters arrived. "This fire had spread pretty rapidly, and it was thick, black smoke."
"It doesn't appear to be accidental," said Lt. Jason Elmore of the Chesterfield Fire Department.
Investigators say the woman's body was found in the master bedroom, located alongside the garage.
"We saw (from the back of the house) that the fire initially appeared to have started from the bedroom," continued Kennedy.
Investigators say a car is missing from the residence and believe Warren may driving the 2009 black Nissan, with Virginia license plate WWA-2759.
Neighbors say the woman was a friendly lady who rented the home. They say her family was on the scene earlier.

Ali ben Youssef Medersa
'You who enter my door, may your highest hopes be exceeded' reads the inscription over the entryway to the Ali ben Youssef Medersa, and after almost six centuries, the blessing still works its charms on visitors.
'You who enter my door, may your highest hopes be exceeded' reads the inscription over the entryway to the Ali ben Youssef Medersa, and after almost six centuries, the blessing still works its charms on visitors.
A short walk down Talaa Kebira from Bab Bou Jeloud, the Medersa Bou Inania is the finest of Fez' theological colleges. It was built by the Merenid sultan Bou Inan between 1350 and 1357.
Unlike other Glaoui kasbahs, Taourirt escaped ruin by moonlighting as a Hollywood backdrop (Sheltering Sky, Gladiator, Prince of Persia ) and attracting the attention of Unesco, which has carefully restored small sections of the inner sanctum.
The maze of rooms at Tamnougalt ksar (fortified stronghold) leads through a sizable mellah, dips underground with strategically placed skylights and candle nooks, and emerges into sunny courtyard stables lined with horseshoe arches.
Skoura's defining features remain its mudbrick kasbahs and vast Unesco-protected palm groves, earning the moniker 'Oasis of 1000 Palms'. Under this green canopy, a 15-mile patchwork of carefully tended garden plots are watered by an ingenious, centuries-old khettara system of locks, levers and canals. More than 100 bird species flourish here.
While non-Muslims can't visit Sidi ben Nassir's green-roofed mausoleum, anyone can visit the library inside the adjacent medersa for Quranic scholars. Among the 4000 books on these glassed-in shelves are ancient medical, mathematics, algebra and law texts, in addition to splendid 13th-century Qurans written on gazelle hide.
Founded by Abu Said in 1325 in the heart of the medina, the Attarine was designed as an annexe to the nearby Kairaouine. The central courtyard displays the traditional patterns of Merenid artisanship, with magnificent zellij (tilework), carved plaster and cedar wood. Onyx columns flank the mihrab. Slightly smaller than the Medersa Bou Inania, it has been sensitively restored.
This occupies the oldest part of the city, the site of the original ribat, and commands powerful views over the river and ocean from its cliff-top perch. The kasbah is predominately residential and the narrow streets are lined with whitewashed houses - most of which were built by Muslim refugees from Spain.
One fascinating stop for passionate gardeners on the way out of town is the Association Development Hart Chaou community garden project. In the past decade, this small agricultural village bypassed by time and tourism faced droughts and tough times.
Central to life in pious Salé and one of the oldest religious establishments in the country, the Grand Mosquée and medersa are superb examples of Merenid artistry. They were built in 1333 by Almohad Sultan Abou al-Hassan Ali. The mosque is closed to non-Muslims, but the splendid medersa is open as a museum.
Opposite the Grande Mosquée, the Medersa Bou Inania is typical of the exquisite interior design that distinguishes Merenid monuments. It was completed in 1358 by Bou Inan, after whom a more lavish medersa in Fez is also named.
The hilltop kasbah, 7km northwest of the centre and visible from much of the city, is a rare survivor of the 1960 earthquake. The views from up here of the port, marina and Agadir are fantastic Built in 1541 and restored in the 1740s, the kasbah once provided housing for nearly 300 people.

nice sunny day for the cricket today, apparently it could get cloudy later in the day but 0% chance of rain...
should be a good game and hopefully the PM's XI bat first and Jaques can get us off to a good start...
PM's XI decent odds given the side England are probably putting out
There's some really good players in this PM's XI side. Hilfenhaus is one of the better young seamers in Australia, and there's some top batsmen there too with Jaques, Birt and Cosgrove, all of whom are pretty likely to play for Australia in the future. Paine's had a really good season so far too, and Adam Voges is a good hitter.
Should be a good game.

Host Reuben Gray has announced the ground rules for The Session #87: Local Brewery History: "I want you to give your readers a history lesson about a local brewery. That's a physical brewery and not brewing company by the way. The brewery doesn't need to still exist today, perhaps you had a local* brewery that closed down before you were even born. Or you could pick one that has been producing beer on the same site for centuries."
His one stipulation is that a brewery must have been around at least 20 years.
* "Local" allows for breweries within 8 hours drive. In my case that puts Bell's Brewery, New Glarus Brewing, and Vino's Brewpub in play. Or closer to home Chouteau Avenue Brewery, Forest Park Brewing, and Lemp Brewing.

Changes to First bus routes across south Essex
Updated 5:14pm Tuesday 25th March 2014 in News By Ian Weinfass, Senior reporter
A NUMBER of bus routes in south Essex will have their services changed.
First Essex has announced the plans, which come into effect on April 20.
The company says the changes are being introduced after it took passenger feedback into consideration.
They include the withdrawal of the 23/23A/23B service in Southchurch and its replacement with an extended 27 service, apart from 9am-3pm Monday to Friday when the route will still exist.
Adrian Jones, managing director at First Essex, said: "We have added extra journeys on some of our popular routes to reflect passenger usage. We have also amended our 25B journey to suit students at Seevic College.
"First is committed to delivering better journeys for life and these changes will help improve punctuality on our routes."
The changes are:
- The 21-21A route from Southend to Canvey Newlands will run in Leigh via Hadleigh Road instead of Thames Drive and Leigh station. There will be a revised timetable in early mornings and mid-evenings with more journeys to and from Canvey Newlands. The Sunday service is not being changed.
- The 27 Southend to Canvey Leigh Beck will be extended on Mondays to Saturdays beyond Southend through to Temple Sutton via Woodgrange Drive, Lifstan Way and Hamstel Road, replacing the current services 23/23A/23B along this section of route. There will also be some minor revisions to the intermediate running times. Two more early morning journeys will be introduced between Hadleigh and Canvey via Benfleet Station, leaving Hadleigh at 0544 and 0559 on Monday to Friday, and 0618 and 0648 on Saturdays. There are no changes to services 27A, 27X and 827.
- The 23-23A-23B Southchurch service will be withdrawn and replaced by the extended 27 service between Southend and Temple Sutton via Woodgrange Drive, Lifstan Way and Hamstel Road. A revised service 23 will still operate on Mondays to Fridays only, between Southend and Hamstel Road via Southchurch Road, up to every 30 minutes between 0900 and 1500.
- The 25A will mostly terminate at Basildon instead of Rayleigh. Between Wickford and Basildon, there will be extended trips to replace the current journeys provided by service 15A. These extended trips will replace the current journeys provided by service 15A and the five minute Grimston Road/Whitmore Way to Basildon service frequency with service 5.
The Southend to Basildon via Wickford service will become every 15 minutes, representing a doubling of the service between Rayleigh, Little Wheatleys, Shotgate and Wickford.
The schooldays afternoon service 25B journey will be revised to leave Hadleigh at 1612, to pick up students at Seevic College.
- The 20 Southend to Hullbridge will have its schooldays only journey at 1538 from Bournes Green start at Southend Travel Centre at 1555.
- 24-24A Southend to Southchurch. The Sunday service 24 will be re-routed along full length of Newington Avenue instead of Archer Avenue. There are no changes to service 24A, nor to any of the Monday to Saturday bus times.
- 22 Basildon to Canvey Leigh Beck. On Mondays to Fridays, the 1935 Canvey to Basildon will operate 6 minutes later at 1941.
- 26 Southend to Hadleigh Depot. Most journeys which currently terminate at Leigh Church or start from Leigh Rectory Grove will be extended to or from Hadleigh Depot.
The service will be re-routed via Thames Drive and Leigh Station instead of Hadleigh Road, which will instead be served by services 21 and 21A.
The service will also be introduced on Saturdays, operating up to every 30 minutes during the main part of the day.
- 28 Southend to Basildon. On Mondays to Fridays the 0728 and 0743 Hadleigh to Basildon will instead start at Southend at 0659 and 0706. There will also be some minor revisions to the running time.

The majority of Massachusetts residents are listening to experts who recommend getting flu shots, a new study has found.
The state ranked first in the percentage of people aged 6 months and older who received vaccinations during the 2012-2013 flue season, according to a Trust for America's Health analysis this week.
The report is based on FluVaxView data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and found that 57.5 percent of Massachusetts residents were vaccinated in the 2012-2013 season, which was the most recent year available for CDC Data.
Massachusetts was one of only 12 states with vaccination rates above 50 percent, with a 57.5 percent rate. Florida had the lowest at 34.1 percent.
"It's easy to become complacent about the flu," a release quoted Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust For America's Health. "We're used to it, it happens every year. So much so that we forget that it is largely preventable through a quick shot—which I might add is now free to most Americans thanks to the Affordable Care Act. The flu isn't just an uncomfortable inconvenience, it is deadly and costly. And millions of Americans do not even have paid sick leave, so they either go to work sick—infecting others—or do not get paid."
Rates are lowest among adults, aged 18-64 years; the group has a nationwide vaccination rate of 35.7 percent, compared to 56.6 percent for children aged 6 months to 17 years and 66.2 percent of seniors aged 65 years and older.
Massachusetts also ranked first in vaccinations for those aged 18-64 years, with a rate of 48.5 percent.
"The trend of low vaccination rates among younger adults is particularly troubling this year, when they are more at risk than usual for the effects of the H1N1 strain of flu that's circulating," the release quoted Levi.
Much of the country is now in the midst of "widespread" seasonal flu activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Jan. 10, the most recent date available, 10.3 per 1,000 influenza-related hospitalizations have been reported in Massachusetts this season, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

SALISBURY, MD - Over 120 seniors throughout the state were in attendance at Salisbury University for the 67th session of Maryland Girls State.
The event gives high school seniors a hands-on look at how a government is ran. They will also be holding mock trials, learning about the judicial process and meet with local and state legislators.
Some of the guests that the students will meet will include mayor Jim Ireton and Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt.
The biggest concern for most of the students seems to be the issue of gun control.
"I'm not super gung ho about this but I'm in favor of more gun control based on recent events and also I feel like, in this day and age with the technology that we have available to people, it's not necessary for it to be available to the public so we need some stricter, more strict restrictions on certain gun and weapons," says Federalsburg native Megan Smith.
"On gun control, there should be more procedures taken because there's not enough. It's strict measure to get a gun, but not strict enough because there's always a vendor getting a gun and selling it to people who don't deserve to have a gun," says De'Lecia Ellis, a Cambridge resident.

Posted in DinoDigs
(Originally posted May 3, 2009) - It's the most dramatic change in DinoDigs history! Moving a 14,000 pound predator is harder than it sounds - taking hours of meticulous labor by three dedicated individuals to achieve, but the king is back on his throne! So why the change?
In recent months, you may have noticed several changes to our dinosaur exhibit. You can delight your little paleontologists with new programming options like DinoSafari—our roving exhibit tour, fresh interactive experiences like the life-sized Velociraptor puzzle and the dinosaur song station, and even new case displays of local prehistory, with help from our friends from Florida Fossil Hunters.
But the most dramatic change in DinoDigs history occurred during the last week of February, as we redesigned the floor layout and brought Stan the T. rex front and center in the middle of DinoDigs. And he is an awe-inspiring sight!
Remounting Stan's skeleton in its new position took the combination of insightful planning, countless revisions and teamwork, and hours of meticulous labor by three dedicated individuals to achieve, but the king is back on his throne!
So why the change?
We approached the idea of moving Stan from several interesting perspectives. Recent research has changed much of what we know about T. rex - in the last five years, we've found footprints, feathers, egg-laying teen-rexes, and even preserved blood and proteins, which place the king of the dinosaurs in the same evolutionary group as ostriches and chickens.
By pulling Stan out into the hall, we are offering you with a remarkable opportunity: Look for yourself, and tell us what you see. With new additions of reptilian and avian (or crocodilian and chicken) specimens in Stan's enclosure, you can make the same comparisons and deductions that paleontologists have made in the past. Better yet, you may happen upon some new observations that will change the way we think of T. rex in the future!
Old Grudges, New Science
If you've had the opportunity to visit DinoDigs before the big change, then you might remember seeing Tyrannosaurus locked horns-vs-teeth with Triceratops,a battle scene envisioned time and again in fiction writing, film, television, toys and video games. But did it ever really happen?
Tyrannosaurus was what zoologists call an "Opportunistic predator." T. rex was fierce and equipped enough to take on any prey it wanted. It was also big enough to scare other predators away from their own meals. Imagine a hotdog and a hamburger (or a tofu dog and a Veggie Burger, if you'd prefer.)
Now imagine that the burger is in a bear trap. Sure, the hotdog is smaller and less nutritious, but the hamburger will take a little more effort, and there's much more risk to eat it. In the wild, the sesame seed bun isn't always worth the hassle.
T. rex likely chose the easiest item on the menu. The duck-billed Edmontosaurus has no horns, no claws, and no sharp teeth – growing up quick and staying close together was their only defense. (The fully-grown Edmontosaurus in DinoDigs is estimated to be only four or five years old.)
Triceratops on the other hand, is much bigger than a duckbill, more meaty, and more nutritious to a giant superpredator like Stan, but that protective frill made it a difficult target.
And then, there are those three-foot spears on its' forehead.
"You're gonna need a bigger hall!"
Perhaps the biggest reason we moved Stan to his rightful place at the center of DinoDigs is simply to give you a better sense of just...how...HUGE Tyrannosaurus rex was. The towering frame of this Cretaceous killer is truly something to behold. And when you bask in the shadow of the greatest predator to ever walk North America, just remember to tell yourself - Stan's one of the smaller ones.
In the new layout of DinoDigs, it's hard to imagine which menu item Stan's going after. Is he looking for Trike Tartare, or the Filet of Duck-bill? It's your turn to explore the new DinoDigs. See firsthand the remarkable fossil evidence, and decide for yourself. They'll be waiting.

AFGHANISTAN (WIS) - A Fort Jackson soldier recognized for her physical fitness is spending her first deployment to Afghanistan working with the nation's women and children. If her mission goes well, she will bring a new title and badge when she returns home.
Capt. Sophie Hilaire is a logistics officer with a Provincial Reconstruction Team. She says that's her day job. When Hilaire deployed, she was a first lieutenant.
"By night I go out on raids with our brigade's targeting platoon, who detain confirmed enemies within the region," said Hilaire via e-mail.
"My role is to search and question the women and children with an interpreter, since they hold a great deal of intelligence that the male soldiers are not allowed to gather due to cultural sensitivity," she said.
Those raids are dangerous. Hilaire earned the Combat Action Badge, which is awarded to non-infantry soldiers who are engaged by or engage the enemy. Hilaire says it's a rare award for a female. In Hilaire's case, she said she was engaged by the enemy.
The West Point graduate and fitness guru volunteered for the mission in Afghanistan in 2012. When she arrived in the war-torn country, she met her sister, who is also a graduate of West Point and stationed in Afghanistan.
"It's been highly rewarding and a very fascinating way to view Afghanistan," she said. "Climbing foreboding mountains at night and entering strangers' homes--it's about as intimate yet intrusive as one can get. But the Afghans have hospitality ingrained within them. I've been offered chai, dresses, and even invited to a wedding."
The US withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan means Hilaire's deployment was shorter than expected. Her team is the last in the region, but her job as logistics officer means she has to get 11 years' worth of army equipment and vehicles back home.
"I've seen evil here," she said. "But also there is hope."

Upon completion of the Interdisciplinary Studies Program, the student will:
- Demonstrate competency in the knowledge and application of Biblical/theological issues and principles.
- Exhibit sufficient general education knowledge and skills to enhance intellectual understanding and effectively communicate in current society.
- Affirm a specific calling or career goal in a written Statement of Purpose (due prior to completion of a third semester of study), which clearly articulates a plan for correlated programs of study.
- Possess the ability to pursue further study or serve in a role in the church or society which draws upon the knowledge and skills of the correlated programs of study.
General Education Core = 48 hours
Religion Core = 24 hours
An additional 27 hours of Professional Electives and 17 hours of General Electives are required.
Math, Science, or Computer Elective- 2 Hours
Mathematics Elective- 3 Hours
Science Elective- 4 Hours

President Barack Obama is planning a visit to Claycomo this week, the White House announced Sunday.
Obama will travel to the Ford Motor Co. assembly plant on Friday where he will highlight the recovery of the auto industry.
The visit is part of a weeklong effort to draw attention to the economic recovery five years after the Lehman Brothers collapse.
In his speech, he will also detail the work that lies ahead to continue strengthening the economy.
Obama's last visit to Missouri was a July 24 stop at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg.
Obama used the visit to praise a new program that fast-tracks students to low-cost college degrees as he kicked off a traveling tour intended to emphasize his economic initiatives.
The White House said more details will be released when they become available.
