Sway is one of the final touches of Hyatt Regency Atlanta's $65 million transformation in 2011. Like the hotel's new entrance, guest check-in and Atrium Lobby, Sway was designed to be more open, welcoming and convenient, and to allow guests places to socialize, network or conduct business.
Guests notice Sway is something new from the moment they're greeted. The first thing they meet is Sway's enormous, bright, bustling kitchen. The heart of the restaurant, the kitchen invites guests with the sounds and smells of what's to come. Sway's kitchen is designed around a landmark cast iron oven, that's reminiscent of another century. Made by British craftsmen Tom Chandley, Sway's oven is one of 50 in the world, and had to be assembled by the only American crew trained to install them.

Gloucester Police have joined with U.S. Coast Guard officials in investigating the death of a 40-year-old man on board the 107-foot, Gloucester-based fishing trawler Osprey after the vessel arrived in port off Harbor Loop late this afternoon.
Officials with the Essex County District Attorney's Office tonight have identified the man as Michael Grindle, with addresses listed both in Gloucester and in Blue Hill, Maine.
Police officers joined in boarding the vessel shortly after it arrived at roughly 4:35 after a more than 12-hour trip back to port. A Gloucester Police K9 drug unit also joined in a search of the boat for potential evidence.
A Coast Guard representative said earlier this afternoon that the initial call regarding an incident on board came at 3:45 a.m., indicating that a crew member was undergoing a "severe asthma" attack. Officials tonight would say only that they are looking at the death being due to an "unknown medical condition," though they have ruled out foul play.
The distress call came while the Osprey and its crew were some 65 miles off the Cape Cod town of Chatham. The Coast Guard also indicated that a fellow crew member attempted to administer CPR, but the Coast Guard then ordered the boat to head for the port it could reach the quickest — and the Osprey headed for Gloucester.
The Osprey is a herring trawler owned by Peter Mullen and has been operated previously by Padraic Dirrane, though it is not clear whether Dirrane was on the vessel this time.
The Osprey had also been subject of a Coast Guard investigation in January, when it ran aground near Ten Pound Island in Gloucester Harbor spilling more than 150 gallons of No. 2 heating oil into the nearby cove off Rocky Neck.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Autopsies were completed on Saturday night for the two Putnam County teens that were found dead earlier this week.
The results aren't being released as the investigation into the deaths of Blaine and Blake Romes is ongoing.
Authorities are still deciding on whether or not to file more charges against 17-year-old Michael Fay, who they say led them to the brothers' bodies.
Fay pleaded not guilty to a grand theft auto charge on Friday.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Following a combined four-goal performance in its first two games, Plattsburgh State women's hockey coach Kevin Houle was searching for more offensive output.
It's safe to say a 5-0 victory over Chatham University and 71 shots on goal did just the trick.
The No. 2 nationally-ranked Cardinals (2-0-1, 1-0) opened their ECAC West regular season schedule with a decisive win and two points at the Plattsburgh State Field House Saturday.
"Fortunately, we were able to get two goals in the first period and build off of that," Houle said. "It would have been nice to score a little earlier (in the game), but we controlled play and had a lot of opportunities."
Kenzie Menzak opened the game's scoring at 12:22 of the opening stanza when the Cardinals began cycling the puck behind the Cougars' (0-1, 0-1) net. After a Caitlin Gilligan shot from the point, Menzak chipped in the rebound chance in front.
Then, Shannon Stewart extended the differential to two goals by capitalizing on a turnover in the slot and ripping a wrist shot past Chatham goaltender Megan Buchanan.
Plattsburgh State was able to pepper Buchanan with 28 shots in the first period, but had a difficult time burying the puck.
"Sometimes, we just have to take that extra second and get the puck upstairs, find the open corner, or find the open stick," Houle said. "I'd like to see more traffic in front of the net, but at times we had two forwards in the corner and nobody in front.
"Once you get a couple scores, you feel pretty good and the frustration goes away. I get more irritated when we're not moving the puck well and we went into a couple of lulls in the second and third period. Overall, it was a good effort."
Jenny Kistner continued her successful junior campaign with a one-time shot parallel to the far post on a power play blast at 6:44 of the middle stanza.
Teal Gove notched a pair of goals at 16:05 of the second and 8:54 into the third, respectively. The performance for Gove was good enough for the first star of the game.
Buchanan concluded the afternoon with 66 saves on 71 shots, while Ally Ross earned the win between the pipes for Plattsburgh State.
The Cardinals wrap up the two-game series today at 1 p.m.
"I thought we came out with great intensity (Saturday) and I'm hoping we can do that again (today)," Houle said. "Hopefully we can limit mistakes in our own end and continue great neutral zone play."

Worth County leaders say public employees will get their paychecks Friday.
Thursday, the county was still waiting to be approved for a $350,000 loan from Heritage Bank to cover employee salaries.
On Tuesday, commissioners learned the county only had about 40-thousand-dollars in the bank. Chairman Mike Cosby said the county took out a $750,000 dollar tax anticipation note in July, but that money is almost gone, forcing commissioners to take out another loan.
"The employees do not have to worry about their paychecks. It never was an issue. The only thing that was brought up is the acquisition or transferring of funds. But it got sort of blown out of proportion," said Joe Gaines, Worth County Commissioner.
Gaines said the county would have cashed in some CDs as a back-up plan to ensure payments.
Commissioners voted against a tax increase last July. They said incoming property taxes and insurance refund checks will allow them to meet expenditures, and they have no plans to raise taxes.

Los Angeles superstation KTLA added a new component this year to its annual New Years' Day global telecast of the famed Pasadena Rose Parade: HD video streams compressed by Telairity BH8100 encoders using H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) technology and relayed through a portable microwave transmitter.
To ensure uninterrupted service for the annual event, the station established three HD backhauls using Telairity BH8100 encoders, transmitting a microwave signal from the parade to the station's tower at the top of Mount Wilson above Pasadena. While the Rose Parade primary backhaul was encoded in the JPEG2000 format, the use of the Telairity-supported H.264 system marked the first time an H.264 installation was viewed as a viable transmission path for one of the station's signature events.
The HD equipment used to telecast the Rose Parade marks the vanguard of a fleet of eight electronic newsgathering (ENG) vehicles scheduled to be put into service by KTLA for live HD field reporting over the next few months. Six are currently in service today.
Each will be equipped with a Telairity BH8100 encoder. KTLA also expects to equip its news helicopter for HD using a ruggedized Telairity BH8100 encoder specially designed for aerial use.
In January 2007, KTLA became the second station in the market to transition HD from SD for studio news reporting. By taking advantage of falling prices for HD technology for ENG applications, KTLA is among the first stations in the nation to switch to HD for live field reporting.

"Logging" In to a chroot
At this point, you'll be able to access the chroot with a command such as $ chroot /chroot/ bash, which will chroot you into the /chroot/ directory and execute bash from within it.
As I mentioned, chroot is not an inherently secure method for isolating applications. By not logging into the chroot as a privileged user such as root, and by removing any setuid and setgid binaries that run with elevated privileges, you can ensure that nothing runs as root within the chroot environment:
# find / -type f -perm +6000
Sandboxing is now easier than ever and its benefits have never been more important. Isolating badly written web applications from the underlying operating system or letting an administrator install a program without affecting the system can save both time and money. Like anything, prevention and foresight can significantly reduce the amount of work needed to maintain and fix a system long term, and sandboxing offers a practical tool to accomplish this.

By Brenda L. Holmes
AVON — When James Nicely decided to change careers, he went from putting out fires to cooking up treats. He and his wife, Jamie, opened Sweet Treats Bakery and now the All American Soda Shop.
Nicely served in the fire and EMS field for many years. He was a firefighter in Brownsburg until it went to an all paid department. He then worked for the Wayne Township Fire Department — the past few years as a chaplain.
He said the work had become stressful and taxing on him, although he is still involved with the Red Cross.
"I decided to do something I was passionate about," he said. "I've always loved to cook, so I went to culinary school."
He said his wife was all about creating a specialty cupcake bakery.
"I wanted to make sure the business would be viable, even if the cupcake craze dies down," he said.
So they decided to make baked goods for all occasions.
"We do a lot of stuff here," Nicely said. "First, we wanted to get the bakery set up and established."
He said the full-service bakery offers everything from cupcakes, cookies, and brownies, to freshly made cheese cakes.
"We also offer special order cakes for birthdays and weddings, as well as pies," Nicely said. "Around the holidays we did candy and fudge. Our pastry chef even makes one rhubarb pie a week for a lady. She can no longer make them, so she orders one every week."
Tara Bryan is the pastry chef at Sweet Treats. She can do anything from a wedding cake to a cupcake — and make each very special. She has also started Weddings by Sweet Treats.
The shop offers nine to 10 cupcake flavors each day — the four standard flavors served each day are vanilla, chocolate, wedding cake, and red velvet.
"Wedding cake and red velvet are the most popular," Nicely said. "We also do homemade cinnamon rolls every day."
The bakery has now been open for eight months and Nicely has begun to add his favorite part of the business — the All American Soda Shop.
"We have hand dipped ice cream and soda," he said. "We also have food service at lunch. No burgers. We have things like Philly steak, sloppy joes, and elephant ear tenderloins."
The soda shop offers soup, salads, wraps, and combination options daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
When the couple was looking for a shop, they first looked near their home in Brownsburg.
"We looked, but every spot was either too small or too big," Nicely said. "This ship was a Blimpy before, so it was already built out and set up as a restaurant."
They even have a drive through where customers can pick up a quick drink and cupcake on the move.
"We really enjoy the location," Nicely said. "There's a lot of traffic. We try to make it a good value. Our coffee is $1 a cup. Our ice cream is $1.99 for any cone. We have cake, sugar, or waffle cones. There is no upcharge and we make our own waffle cones here."
At the end of the day the daily fresh baked leftovers are taken to Country Side Meadows and donated to the residents there.
"We want everything baked fresh daily," Nicely said. "And we also want to give back to the community."
Sweet Treats Bakery and the All American Soda Shop is at 7900 E. U.S. 36, Avon. For more information, call 272-0100. The shop is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Today's Word of the Day means...
branch (brānch)
An offshoot or a division of the main portion of a structure, especially that of a nerve, blood vessel, or lymphatic vessel; a ramus.
a symbol of kings descended from royal ancestors (Ezek. 17:3, 10; Dan. 11:7); of prosperity (Job 8:16); of the Messiah, a branch out of the root of the stem of Jesse (Isa. 11:1), the "beautiful branch" (4:2), a "righteous branch" (Jer. 23:5), "the Branch" (Zech. 3:8; 6:12). Disciples are branches of the true vine (John 15:5, 6). "The branch of the terrible ones" (Isa. 25:5) is rightly translated in the Revised Version "the song of the terrible ones," i.e., the song of victory shall be brought low by the destruction of Babylon and the return of the Jews from captivity. The "abominable branch" is a tree on which a malefactor has been hanged (Isa. 14:19). The "highest branch" in Ezek. 17:3 represents Jehoiakim the king.

When to Seek Medical Care
Diagnosis of Childhood Obesity
Weight-to-height tables
These tables give general ranges of healthy weight and define being overweight based on the height of the child or teenager. Many health care professionals define obesity in a child as weighing 20% or more over the healthy range. The tables, however, do not take into account other individual characteristics of each child or teenager. The health care professional must consider the patient's age, gender, pubertal stage, and growth pattern when interpreting the weight-to-height chart. For example, some children gain weight before a growth spurt. This does not necessarily mean they are becoming obese.
Body fat percentage
The percentage of body weight that is fat is a good marker of obesity. Boys with over 25% fat and girls with over 32% fat are considered obese.
Body fat percentage is difficult to measure accurately. The most accurate methods use special equipment not found at most medical offices. The method that measures skin-fold thickness is unreliable unless performed correctly by a trained and experienced technician.
Body mass index (BMI)
This measure assesses weight relative to height. It is the same as the body mass index used to identify adult obesity. BMI is defined as weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared (kg/m2). Less commonly, BMI can be calculated in pounds and inches. BMI is closely related to body fat percentage but much easier to measure.
BMI is the standard for defining obesity in adults, but its use in children is not universal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests two levels of concern for children based on the BMI-for-age charts.
The American Obesity Association defines those children and adolescents above the 95th percentile as "obese," which corresponds to a BMI of 30 kg/m2 (considered obesity in adults).
To calculate a child's BMI, follow these steps:
To calculate BMI via the Internet, enter the child's height and weight at the web site of the Department of Health and Human Services, Obesity Education Initiative.
Waist circumference (WC)
This measurement in a child or adolescent correlates closely with the future risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and related complications of the metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol or other fat levels, heart attack, stroke, and damage to eyes, heart, and kidneys). The assessment is made with a tape measure stretched across the widest abdominal girth (usually at or just below the level of the belly button, called the umbilicus). Any value over the 90% percentile for age and gender carries the highest risk.

Preface.The Simplified Spelling Society, founded in 1908, published the 6th edition of its book New Spelling in 1948. It was prepared by two of the leading figures in language studies at that time, Professors Daniel Jones and Harold Orton. It set out a complete scheme of spelling reform that was supported by a statistical analysis of current spellings. It remains the major work on the subject world-wide, and the Society hopes to reissue it in a new updated version.
In the meantime this booklet, designed for the general public rather than for language specialists, sets out some new proposals, These are firmly based on those in the original book, but some important changes have been made in the light of comment over the years.
Our Aim has been to set out a complete, coherent spelling system, that can provide a starting point for useful discussion. For this reason, and also for reasons of space, we have not attempted to discuss alternative forms, nor have we dealt with the anomalies that must occur in a language so diverse as English.
At this stage also we do not discuss the spelling of those foreign words that have come into the language recently. Some have been fully anglicized, some not. Consider entente, garage, pizza, allegro. When such words should be respelt is a matter for judgment in each individual case. We cannot delay reform while such relatively minor points are being settled.
It should be noted that we do not propose any changes in proper names, although of course people would be free to change the spelling of their own personal names.
1. The Need for Reform.English is unique in being basically a mixture of two languages - German, as spoken by the Anglo-Saxons, and French, as spoken by the Normans, the mixing process starting in 1066. This may be a source of pride to the English, and it has certainly had beneficial effects on the vocabulary and the structure of the language, but has been a major cause of the extreme complexity, not to say confusion, of English spelling. Put simply, English spelling is so irregular and so unpredictable that native learners are obliged to learn almost every word individually - not always with conspicuous success. As a result, spelling can constitute an actual barrier to learning. Time has to be devoted to it that could be used for better things, and it makes it far harder for the normal pupil in school to get that sense of achievement without which there is little effective learning.
Take as an example the set of words - bun, mother, one, wonder, thunder. Clearly they should all be spelt with a u - bun, muther, wun, wunder, thunder. No doubt the readers of this pamphlet have mastered these words, but imagine the problems that face the teacher trying to explain to a five-year old just why bun and mother are spelt the way they are. In fact the teacher is reduced to telling the child that mother is spelt that way because it is.
Another set of words is even more extraordinary - though, bough, bought, caught, through, thorough, cough, rough, eight, night, knight. There is an explanation for these spellings, but to find it one must go back to the history of Anglo-Saxon and Germanic Languages. Why should such spellings be preserved for everyday use in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries? Ironically, modern German itself has a very logical spelling system, and we can see what an advantage this gives to the Germans, if we compare the German and English words for the number 8. (They are identical in origin.) In German ch is pronounced as in the Scottish loch, and so the word acht represents the current pronunciation. Whereas the English word eight has only one letter out of the five (the t) which has its normal value.
Apart from its effect on native speakers, the sheer inefficiency of the system is particularly unfortunate, because English has become the main international language. Its rich vocabulary and its relatively simple and flexible grammar make it well adapted for such a role; its only handicap is its spelling.
2. The Problem.The English alphabet of 26 letters is divided into vowels (a e i o u) and consonants (all the rest of the letters). Note that y is sometimes a vowel as in pity, and sometimes a consonant as in young. Unfortunately there are far more sounds in English than can be covered by such letters, and particularly is this the case with vowels. As a result, the existing letters have, most of them, to do a duty for more than one sound, sometimes by themselves, sometimes in combination with other letters, a in the following series is a typical example - fat, fate, call, father, gaiter, soap.
Another complication is that there is no one standard English pronunciation. The vowels especially have different values all over Britain, let alone over the North American continent and Australia and New Zealand. Among the consonants, too, r has very important functions. In words like cart, finger it is not pronounced in the South of England, but it is pronounced elsewhere, although not in the same way, as is shown by the difference in Scottish and American r's.
It is for this reason that we are not trying to devise a so-called phonetic alphabet. Such an alphabet already exists, and it is designed to denote accurately all the sounds that can be made in speech in all languages. Parts of it are used nowadays to show pronunciation in dictionaries, and a glance at the key provided in the dictionaries will show just how unsuitable such an alphabet would be for ordinary use. Nor would it even be desirable. To take an example, there are numerous variations in the way the vowel a is pronounced in the word cat, but so long as everybody who says cat thinks he is saying an a, the variations in the vowel sound produced are quite immaterial.
Inventing fresh letters has been suggested, notably by George Bernard Shaw, but it would create many practical difficulties, and so has been generally rejected.
We are left, therefore with the task of devising a scheme, using only the existing alphabet, that is consistent rather than phonetic. So that all speakers no matter what their private pronunciation may be, can work out the spelling of a word from its pronunciation. Fortunately this can be done, using, strange as it may seem, only 24 or 25 of the available letters.
3. The "mat - mate" SystemThe problem of shortage of letters is worst with the vowels, and English has evolved a complicated - and inefficient - way of dealing with it. Take the letter a. In the word mat it has one sound. By adding an e (or another vowel) after the consonant that follows the a, it becomes another sound, as in mate. mating. This applies to all five vowels e.g. din. dining - hop. hoping.
So we have a remarkable system in which one vowel is modified by another one, separated from it. But this is not all. If we want to stop the process, we do so by doubling the intervening consonant, e.g. din. dine. diner. dinner. - hop. hope. hoping. hopping. And then to crown it, the system is not consistently applied. Look at the series liver. diver - hover. rover. (Interestingly, whoever invented bovver boots some years ago, instinctively reverted to the general rule.)
Most people apply the system without being consciously aware of it, but many mistakes are made, and in fact it is at the very heart of the spelling problems of the English Language.
4. The Reform of the Vowels.Note: Before discussing changes there is one point to clarify. When we recite the alphabet, we recite the names of the letters, not the sounds that they represent in words. As an example, kay is the name of the letter, not its sound. However, the vowels a e i o u do keep their name value in some words in current spelling, but it is only one value, and by no means the commonest.
4.1. mat-mate.Our first task is to deal with the "mat - mate" problem. This we do by establishing a rule:-
In words like mate, move the final e to the other side of the consonant, and join it to the vowel so that a e o u become ae ee oe ue. (see below for i).These combinations then become the new symbols for these sounds, and are used permanently, regardless of what else follows in the word. So we have the series mat. maet. maeting - hop. hoep. hoeping. And as a further result, we no longer need to use the double consonants in matting and hopping, because plain a or o can only have the sound they have in mat and hop respectively. So we arrive at the new pairs maeting. mating - hoeping. hoping. Set out thus, this may seem confusing, but used in a context, these words present no problem.
In the case of i we could have followed the same rule and made it ie but we have chosen a simpler alternative. Use y everywhere for the sound of by. tie, and use i everywhere for the sound of bit. As a result we have byt for bite, and piti for pity. This has considerable advantages over using ie. (Compare flying and flieing.)
These changes at a stroke, enable us to get rid of all the double consonants in the language, with the possible exception of those few cases where the double consonant actually represents two sounds as in thinness or unnecessary.
Having established the general principle, we can now, in the following sections, treat the various uses of the vowels systematically.
4.2. a e i o u.a. a as in mat stays the same.
a as in mate becomes ae, which gives maet. All other spellings for this sound will be replaced by ae. e.g. say: sae, maid: maed. (Note that said becomes sed. See below) In front of an r the vowel is slightly different, but it is normally treated as being the same, so that for example pair: fare become paer: faer. Note the difference between pair and payer which become respectively paer and paeer. The reason for this is that it is important to preserve the ending -er, when it has a specific meaning, in this case that of the "agent".
a as in path remains unchanged. New Spelling, on balance, recommended aa for this sound, to distinguish it from the a in pat , but we have abandoned this distinction, because so many people in Britain and America make no difference between the two sounds. Nor does the use of a single a for both sounds in current spelling seem to cause any problems for those that make the difference in speech. However there are a few pairs of words whose identical spelling might shock, and we propose an aa as an alternative spelling in the following cases:- have: hav - halve: haav ant: ant - aunt: aant, cam: kam - calm: kaam, psalm: saam, palm: paam.
e. e as in set remains unchanged. All other current spellings for this sound become e as well. e.g. friend: frend, said: sed, head: hed, heifer: hefer, bury: beri, any: eni, many: meni.
e as in scheme becomes ee, which is already in many cases. Other spellings are read: reed, police: polees, receive: receev, chief: cheef. read and reed both become reed, but on this point see Chapter Six. One syllable words in e become ee, except for the be he she me we, which are left as special cases or "word signs" because they occur so frequently. re- as a prefix remains with one e only, whether it is an active prefix, as in re-state or purely a Latin one as in refuse. The pronunciation of re- in this position usually varies, so it is convenient to make a simple rule.
i. i as in pit says the same.
y is currently used for this sound at the end of words, but this will be replaced by i. e.g. piti, frili.
Note. In the USA and elsewhere the sound of the final y is not the same as the first i sound, but this does not seem sufficient reason for retaining y at the end of words. The actual difference in sound is not great, it has no significance in meaning, and probably most Americans are not conscious of the difference. The y is never used to represent the sound elsewhere, and, a final point, in derivatives the y reverts to i. e.g. pitiless.
i as in bite becomes y to give byt. buy also becomes by. (See Chapter Six on identical spellings). Note that fire becomes fyr, but buyer becomes byer, because in the latter case the -er has a significance for meaning. (See Obscure Vowel)
o. o as in cot remains unchanged. It also replaces the a in 60 words like was: woz, want: wont, swan: swon.
o as in rope becomes oe, which gives roep. oe also replaces ow in words like low: loe, sow: soe. sew too becomes soe. Note that poet becomes poeet. so would remain so, being treated as a word sign, because of its frequency. Purely Italian words like allegro would be left unchanged.
u. u as in cut remains unchanged. (see oo for put)
It also replaces o in some 50 words like mother, and oo in blood, flood.
u as in cute becomes ue, which gives us kuet. It also replaces ew as in few: fue, new: nue. Note that suit becomes suet and suet becomes sueet.
Note. The system just set out, leads to an increase in the number of words that have treble vowels, as in the current spelling seeing, or the New Spelling loeer and saeing. It would be possible to to reduce the number of words that have treble vowels, by formulating a rule that the e of ae ee oe ue should be dropped in front of another vowel. This would however create some anomalies, and on balance we prefer the logic of the system we have described.
4.3. oo au ou oy er.oo. oo will continue to represent the two sounds found in good and food. uu was proposed as an additional symbol to represent one of them so that we would have either good fuud or guud food. However, Scottish speakers make no difference between the two sounds, and we therefore think it unnecessary to use two symbols, especially as there is no evidences that the present arrangement causes learning or spelling difficulties. oo would also replace u in put: poot and ou as in could: kood. There would be difficulty with two pairs of words pull, pool and full, fool. We propose that pull and full be treated as special cases and spelt pul and ful respectively. This is especially important at the end of ful, because it is so often used at the end of words. e.g. hopeful: hoepful. to ought to become too, but it occurs so often, it is convenient to leave it unchanged as a word sign. Note that two and too both become too.
au. au as in taut remains unchanged. It also replaces aw as in law:lau. The au spelling is the commoner in current English, but aw is used in all single syllable words of the type of law, that is to say those that do not have a consonant at the end. In consequence the sound aw is identified with the sound in the public mind. Nonetheless we have decided on balance to adopt au but there would be no problem if it was desired to use aw instead.
Note this sound would NOT be used for the sound that occurs in words like short which have an r. In Southern English this r has disappeared from the pronunciation, changing the o sound into au in the process. But this has not happened elsewhere in Britain or in America, where r is still pronounced. It must therefore always be retained in spelling.
ou. ou as in count remains unchanged. It also replaces ow in now: nou. Exactly the same considerations apply as with au and aw, and ow could be used instead of ou. An additional reason for choosing ou is that ow has two values in current English. (cf. how, low) which could cause confusion during a transition period.
oy. oy as in boy is replaced by oi always e.g. oil, oister
er. er as in merchant remains unchanged. This spelling er is associated with this sound in the public mind, but there are two other spellings that occur when the sound is stressed, ur (further) and ir (fir). We recommend that both these spellings be replaced by er. However there are a few cases where confusion would be caused, and for these we would keep ur. Examples are words in -cur like concur, recur, and fur and astir. For er unstressed, see the section on the obscure vowel.
4.4. The Obscure Vowel.In English, when there is more than one syllable in a word, one syllable carries a main stress or emphasis, and sometimes, if the word is long enough, another carries a secondary stress. Examples are háting and pérforátion. But then the remaining vowels, by a sort of law of laziness, lose their full value, and become reduced to the sound we find in the last syllables of carrot, nation, total, and the a we have in a cat. It is the sound you make when you open your mouth without making any effort. It should be emphasised that this is not a case of "bad English". It is an essential part of the English language, and we all of us use this sound all the time. It is by far the commonest sound in the language. But it causes great problems for spelling. Dictionaries have to use special symbols to represent it, and it is the cause of many spelling mistakes of the type a for e in the last syllable of independent.
Furthermore, the sound varies. Sometimes it is more like a very short i than a short e. cf. profit, prophet, hatchet. Then again, the sound can change, depending on how slowly or precisely one is speaking. In the word success the u might be the same as in suck, but usually it is this reduced sound.
This vowel is commonly called the "obscure vowel", and very often it is spelt with an e, but if we used e for it everywhere, it would cause enormous problems. We therefore make the following limited proposals.
Firstly we make three restrictions.
1. We only make changes where the vowel occurs in the final syllable of the basic word. (silent is the basic word for silently and colour for colouring.) We do not alter the obscure vowel when it occurs elsewhere in a word. We would not therefore concern ourselves with the u in success or the o's in photography. Similarly, the endings -ary and -ory remain unchanged. e.g. sekretari, dormitori. To try to change all the obscure vowels in the language is simply not practicable.
2. If the letter i occurs in this situation in a current spelling it is never changed. So prophet and profit become respectively profet and profit. The only exception is the ending -ible, for which see below. This simple rule obviates the necessity for establishing the precise sound value of each and every obscure vowel.
3. The letter r is maintained wherever it occurs in current spelling. It is never dropped, except of course that double r is always reduced to single r. (See below on the letter r.)
The changes we propose are therefore as follows:
1. an en on ain all become en. In addition ant becomes ent and ance becomes ens. e.g. observance: observens. One objection to this is that some words in -an have a derivative in which the obscure vowel recovers its full value. e.g. organ: organic. However there are not many of these, and the derivatives in question are usually quite learned words, and so we do not think there is any need to abandon our proposed rule.
-man. This ending is reduced to the obscure vowel in words like Frenchman, boatman, but we keep the spelling man in order to preserve the distinction between -man and -men. Similarly with the word woman.
2. -le -el -al -ol
(i) -le able, couple, rattle, apple.
We recommend that the final silent e be dropped, so that the above words would become aebl, kupl, ratl, apl. It will be seen that in this situation the l by itself has the value of "obscure vowel + l".
(ii) -el. chapel and apple are identical in pronunciation except for the initial ch. Similarly with label and able. We therefore recommend that -el when it follows a consonant is reduced to l. e.g. chapl, laebl. After a vowel, -el is always unchanged. e.g. fuel: fueel.
(iii) -al -ol. These endings have the same sound as -el. e.g. legal, symbol. However many words with these endings have derivatives in which the vowel recovers its full value. e.g. legality, symbolic. There are many more of these words, and they are more important than is the case with an referred to above. Therefore on balance we have decided that -al and -ol should be left unchanged.
(iv) Words like hostile and fertile are pronounced with a clear difference of stress in England and America. It is therefore necessary to have alternative spellings - hostyl. hostl, fertyl. fertl. (We should not be frightened to make use of alternative spellings, when there is a need. They already exist, of course in current English).
3. -able, -ible, as word endings, both become -abl. e.g. detestabl, responsabl. This simple rule will save many spelling errors.
4. -er -ar -or -our -ure all become -er. colour thus becomes kuler. nature gives naecher, but mature of course would become matuer.
Note: hire and higher are identical in pronunciation in current speech. hire becomes hyr, as it would be pointless to inset an e before the r in words of this type. But what should we then do with higher? We settle for hyer because of our rule that the ending -er, meaning "more" must always be preserved. In this case grammatical consistency must take precedence over phonetic exactitude. This likewise applies to -er as the "agent". cf. tire: tyr and tryer: tryer.
5. -ous becomes -us. e.g. marvelus.
6. -ward, toward, forward, upward, skyward.
toward becomes toword (cf. ward: word, word: werd) In all the other words a represents the obscure vowel, so we recommend that it becomes e. e.g. forwerd, skywerd.
5. The Reform of the Consonants.Consonants are in some ways more important for reading than vowels. There are more of them, and they catch the eye more than do the vowels, which is why changes in consonants can seem disconcerting. Yet changes are needed. There are consonants like the g in campaign and the w in wriggle, which no longer have any significance, and are just relics from a distant past. There are also unnecessary double letters like those in accommodate, which reflect a Latin origin, and there are consonants which perform a role which they were not intended to have, like the gh in night and the l in calm.
Our aims are:
1. To get rid of all unnecessary consonants.Voiced and Voiceless consonants. Before considering our proposed changes in detail, it is helpful to understand one of the ways in which consonants are classified. Take b and p for example. They are produced by the organs of the mouth in exactly the same way, except for one thing. When the sound of b is made, the vocal chords come into play, whereas they don't for p. Consequently, the b is more resonant then p, which is the sole difference between the two. Other consonants can be paired in the same way - d:t, z:s, g:k, v:f. In each pair, the first one, the more resonant consonant is called "voiced" and the second one "voiceless". The difference is crucial in some words, and of no importance in others, The sole difference between phase and face, when spoken is that the s of phase is voiced. But in cats and dogs, where the s in cats is voiceless and the s in dogs is voiced, the difference does not matter.
2. To reduce all double consonants to single consonants, unless they represent a significant lengthening of the consonant as in unnecessary but this is quite rare.
3. To systematise the use of the remaining consonants,
5.1. Unchanged.b l m n p v are quite unchanged.
d t are only changed to the extent that the verbal ending -ed becomes -t in words like kissed: kist.
r is not changed, but it needs attention. We formulate a rule that r is retained wherever it occurs in current spelling, except of course that rr is reduced to single r. This rule is needed because in the standard Southern English, r is no longer pronounced at the end of words, and in front of consonants. e.g. painter, court, part. But it is still pronounced elsewhere in England, in Scotland and in America, even though it is pronounced in different ways. It is therefore essential to retain it in spelling. (it may be noted that those who do not pronounce the r, mostly think they do. The situation is complicated because r's come and go in this form of pronunciation. (cf. water - watering.)
th. th we have decided to leave unchanged.
In the current spelling it represents two sounds, the voiced sound in then and the voiceless in thin. The voiced sound could be represented by dh, which would be useful to foreign learners, but not to native learners, who are mostly unaware of the difference. The voiced sound dh is actually by far the commoner of the two, so logically, if we are going to adopt only one symbol for the two sounds, we ought to adopt dh. We are keeping the th for no other reason than to reduce the number of changes we have to make.
5.2. c k ck qu x.c. c is replaced by either s as in advice: advys, or by k as in cat: kat. It therefore becomes a redundant letter available for other use. (Suggestions are instead of ch or sh.) It would be possible to reverse things, and keep the c for cat, and dispense with the letter k instead. The choice would be between for example kik and cic, bak and bac,keep and ceep. Using c would involve fewer changes, especially in initial letters, but we have chosen k because it is the clearer symbol visually (c resembles e and o), and because it is internationally identified with the sound.
ck. ck is replaced by a simple k. e.g. kick: kik.
qu. qu becomes kw and q becomes a redundant letter. e.g. quick: kwik.
x. x is replaced by ks, and thus becomes a redundant letter, except for its use as a mathematical symbol, and in the word x-ray. In words like example the sounds are actually voiced, so that one ought to write egzampl, but we recommend using ks for these words as well. Most people are quite unaware that x can have these two values, and in any case the difference is never critical for meaning.
k. To sum up, k has kept its present sound value, but has become a much more important consonant, through acquiring additional uses.
5.3. s z sh ch.s z. z is the voiced version of s. Compare sit and horizon. But s is regularly used in place of z in many words. e.g. visit, nose, these. In words like advertise, z is used in America for the ending, and can be used in Britain even now. Contrast these words, however, with cease, grease, this. Our first step therefore is to replace s by z wherever it is necessary. e.g. nose: noez, visit: vizit. Note that his becomes hiz, and hiss becomes his. Next -ce can be replaced by -s as in rice: rys. (But see below)
s has one use which is of absolutely capital importance, and which requires special consideration. It is used in what are called "inflected endings", that is it is added to the end of words to signify:
i. plural of nouns. e.g. catsWe will confine our discussion to the plurals, but whatever applies to them applies to the other categories as well.
ii. possession. e.g. cat's, cats'.
iii. the person of a verb e.g. he likes: I like.
The sound represented by s at the end of a word is in reality more often than not a z. e.g. dogz, binz. So it was suggested in the original New Spelling that we should use both s and z strictly according to the pronunciation. Compare hats and ladz. We had rejected this for two reasons. Firstly, we doubt very much whether most people hear this difference, and to make it more difficult, the difference varies from word to word. Secondly, and this is the decisive factor, we think grammatical uniformity must take precedence over phonetic exactitude.
Accordingly, we decide to use the one letter, either s or z, for all inflected forms, but before making the choice, we must look at words that end in -ce, or less often in -se. Most present no problem, and for example, nice and grease become in New Spelling nys and grees. But an important group of these words can be paired off with nouns in the plural, or in one or two cases, verbs e.g. fence: fens, dense: dens, peace: peas, cease: sees. Clearly one cannot use s for all these words, but if one chose z for the inflected forms, then one could use s for the -ce and voiceless -se. The system would be clear, without anomalies. But against this, z is generally felt to be a more awkward letter than s, especially in handwriting. To change all the vast number of inflected endings from s to z, would, we fear, be so disconcerting to the public, that it would arouse too much resistance to any project for reform.
We therefore recommend -s for all inflected endings, as at present, and ss for words in -ce and -se. e.g. fence: fens become fenss: fens, pronounce: pronouns become pronounss: pronouns andcease: sees become seess: sees.
Another problem pair is that of princes: princess. We suggest that -ess be retained as a special feminine ending, in which case the two words will become prinses: prinsess
Note. one . once. one's become wun . wuns . wun's. If it was desired not to use apostrophes, then one's would have to become wunz.
sh. sh remains as in ship but it also replaces a whole set of combinations, where the letters t. c. s combine with following e or i. e.g. nation: naeshen, special: speshal, ocean: oeshen, diversion: dyvershen, precious: preshus. This sort of spelling is sometimes used to represent uneducated speech, but there is no other way of pronouncing these words. The basic linguistic fact is that English people, when confronted by the sound combination "s + consonantal y" preceding a vowel pronounce it as sh. (Compare the French and English pronunciation of the word nation.)
Words like issue come into this category, because the u is really yoo. There is hesitancy over whether one should say sh or sy, the latter being regarded as more correct. Actually, most people tend to say sh, certainly when they are not thinking about it. However, we recommend keeping the current spelling, because there is so much fluctuation in usage.
Parallel to this is the use of ch in words like nature: naecher, where this is the established pronunciation. We do not dare to suggest choon for tune or jook for duke.
zh. sh is a voiceless consonant, and its voiced equivalent is the sound we have in vision or the je sound in French. There is no symbol for it in current English, and so we recommend zh e.g. vision: vizhen, measure: mezher, usual: uezhueal.
ch. ch remains as in church, but it also replaces tch as in hatch: hach.
5.4. f g j ng w wh y.f. f remains as in if, but it also replaces ph as in telephone: telefoen. Note that off becomes of and of becomes ov.
g. g keeps only the sound it has in the word got.
j. j keeps the sound it has in jet, but also takes over the sound of g in age: aej, and of dg in bridge: brij.
ng. ng keeps the sound it has in sing . singer. Strictly speaking, finger should become fingger, but we see no advantage in this because the pronunciation of this sound varies according to the dialect, and the current spelling causes no learning problems anywhere. It must be admitted that the spelling ngg would be useful for foreign learners.
w. w remains as in win, but it also replaces u in anguish, and as stated above, the u in qu.
wh. In most of England, wh is pronounced simply as a w, but there are areas where it is differentiated, notably in Scotland and parts of America. Its use is probably declining, being preserved to some extent by the efforts of the schools. We recommend w, leaving wh as an available alternative for those who pronounce it that way.
y. Although we have used y as a vowel, we have retained it as an initial consonant in words like yet, year, young, youth. This dual use is not ideal, but y's usefulness as a vowel outweighs the disadvantages. Of the words beginning with y, you, and youth could be spelt ue and ueth respectively. However, we prefer yoo and yooth to maintain the connections with your and young.
The names for i and y.
Our use of y as the vowel in bite: byt creates a problem. We can hardly coin fresh names, so we suggest that y keeps its present name, and that i is called "short i".
Back to the top.
Forward to Part 2.

I have a question regarding the connecting rods on the 123 and 113 engines. Are they the same? I am looking for a rod to replace a damaged rod in a 113 engine in a 41 Farmall "A". A friend has a junk engine from a super C that he would be willing to let me take a rod out of. I very much hope they are the same.
Thanks to anyone who can answer my question.

Where are the RIA "killer apps"?
Take Java, for example. When Java first arrived, there were high hopes for its success based on the "write once, run anywhere" mantra. Applets started showing up all over the Web. But on the desktop, no killer apps. And even in the applet world, no killer apps, just a bunch of little games and academic demos. (Java's "killer app," the thing that would ensure its place in history, didn't really arrive until 1999: something called J2EE.)
So when a new technology-space like RIA comes along, with contenders having fancy names like AIR, Silverlight, or JavaFX, I sit back and wait for a "killer app" to emerge, signalling the appearance of a likely winner (or at least a contender with a future ahead of it) in the multi-way battle.
JavaFX was late to the party, so I continue to give it the benefit of the doubt, but it looks stillborn to me at this point (and I think the Oracle acquisition of Sun may delay progress with JavaFX until far past the point where it can regain ground against Adobe Flex/AIR). One thing we can all agree on is that there is no killer JavaFX app. In fact I can't even name a JavaFX app. Not a single one. "But it's too early," someone will say. To the contrary, my friend: It may be too late.
Silverlight has the full mass and motive power of the Microsoft juggernaut behind it, and for that reason we can't dismiss it (yet). But again, where are the killer apps? Shouldn't we have seen one by now? Shouldn't it be possible to walk up behind someone at any gathering of programmers, tap a total stranger on the shoulder, and get an immediate answer to the question: "Can you name a really cool Silverlight app?"
Yes, it's early.
And then there's Adobe with its shiny new AIR technology, built atop half-open, half-closed Flash and Flex infastructure, an alluring platform with the not inconsiderable advantage of being built, largely, on ActionScript (hormone-enriched JavaScript). It's fun, it's pretty, it's new. But where are the killer apps?
Actually, there's a class of killer apps built around AIR now. (Maybe you've noticed?) It's called the Twitter Client. TweetDeck, Twhirl, AlertThingy, Toro, the list goes on and on. (Many of these are not just Twitter clients, of course. Some are perhaps better called social clients, since they interact with other services besides Twitter.)
Does this mean Adobe has won the RIA wars? No, of course not. But it sure has a nice head start.
What we need to see now is whether additional killer-app categories start to emerge around AIR. If AIR progresses beyond the point of supporting fun little SoCo apps, things could get very interesting (for users of cell phones, palm devices, PCs, netbooks, laptops, readers, and who-knows-what-else) in a hurry.
If not -- if AIR remains the province of waist-slimming Twitter clients and zero-calorie RSS feed readers -- then we may have yet another evolutionary dead end along the lines of (dare I say it?) Java Man.
Time will tell.

A part of me is happy that there is not a killer app yet as I continue to fear supporting these types of applications in the future as JavaScript is not exactly the best at scaling.

Can you do JavaFX in Java? (Answer)
Dean Del Ponte replied on Tue, 2009/04/28 - 2:43pm
Am I the only one that believes RIAs built using technologies like Flex, Silverlight, and JavaFX will exist only to fill a small niche? There are very few compelling reasons to work with these "closed" solutions. Only in very special circumstances does it make sense. It will be tough to beat the open web, and I don't believe any of these competing technologies will.
Casper Bang replied on Tue, 2009/04/28 - 3:51pm

JeffS replied on Tue, 2009/04/28 - 3:58pm in response to: Dean Del Ponte
I agree.
Over the last couple of weeks I've been trying to learn Flex, and do a project where I'm attempting to replace the top section of my company's website, which currently uses basic DHTML techniques, with Flex. I was atracted to Flex's ability to do more affects, or add more bling (at least initially).
What I discovered was, minus using FlexBuilder (I won't fork out the money until I'm convinced that Flex is the way to go), working with Flex was a lot like working with standard HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. MXML is a a lot like HTML. ActionScript is a lot like JavaScript. And I found my productivity was no better than when using standard HTML and JavaScript.
True, my Flex productivity would go up substantially if I used FlexBuilder. But my HTML/JavaScript/CSS productivity goes way up when I use Visual Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans, Aptanta, Kompozer, et al (all of which have HTML, JS, CSS editors, code completion, WYSIWYG designers, etc, to one degree or another).
I've also played around with Silverlight. Again, XAML is a lot like HTML. The big difference is that the "code-behind" is either C# or VB, making it a lot like working with ASP.Net.
Finally, I've played around with JavaFX. At least this is different than HTML/JavaScript. It's essentially a scripting language for creating Java gui, which in turn can be embedded within a page, essentially resulting in a Applet. Nothing new here.
So, the productivity comparison in RIA vs HTML/JS/CSS is a wash.
Now, Silverlight runs on .Net, and JavaFX runs on Java. Adding in those platforms/runtimes is a big gain in terms of library support. Flex runs on Flash, which has great multimedia support and animation/effects support, so that's a plus.
Also, the Markup/Script in Flex and Silverlight compile to runtime bytecodes, making it more of a true application platform. HTML doesn't compile to anything - it's markup for document organization/presentation. And JavaScript is interpreted at runtime. So that's another plus for RIA's.
But on the negative side, Flash and .Net are closed, proprietary platforms (Gnash and Mono are nice, but will always play catch-up).
Are there corner cases where using a RIA is the way to go? Sure.
But most of the time good 'ol HTML/JavaScript/CSS will do just fine.
Thierry Milard replied on Tue, 2009/04/28 - 4:11pm in response to: David Lee
1) I think You are right about the long-powerfull-need of a lean jvm.
It's been better since update 10 - 13 and soon with 14.
But still, it is far from Flash. The stress on this team must be great ... but honestly it is at the center of the issues of java on the the Internet client side (ie like Flash or Air). If they don't improve again (and soon) ... nothing will happen for sure because a CTO just cannot choose an Internet platefrom that take 7 seconds to run on an average machine.
2) For the jre detection issues, I think you were right but ... not anymore. Last week I use a javaScript function that Sun gives (forgot the name). It takes care of everything: detecting the version ... and installing the proper one if needed. I tested this and let me say that those detecting issues on the java plateform are issues from the past. I just say bravo to the sun team for this wonderfull fix.
Otengi Miloskov replied on Tue, 2009/04/28 - 7:21pm in response to: JeffS
Im agree, all RIA offers are propetary, Flex just the framework is opensource but Flash is Not. JavaFX? The licensing is a mess, Silverlight 100% propetary.
It sucks the RIA offers, I think the only one that is going good and are standard/open is the AJAX as Dojo, GWT, JQuery, html/javascript/css.
Want to do RIA with Java?, I recomend GWT or a Model 2 framework as Stripes for the comet functionality with JQuery for the front end.
David Lee replied on Wed, 2009/04/29 - 6:56am in response to: Casper Bang
I disagree. My last 3 employeers have all moved to Flex on the front end. My current employer is on Struts 1.x and trying to decide what to move to next. Let's see, in the java world what are our options: frameworks A-Z, JSF implentation 1-5 and possible javascript library X or Flex. In a controlled environment, Flex is going to win.
So maybe it is a niche, but in my little world, applets, certain parts of java are simply all losing stream. None of my collegues have even as so much tried JavaFX.

Interesting point view. However I wouldn't call Twhirl and another Adobe AIR applications RIA apps cause they are running on the desktop, not in the browser.
But I do agree. I think good popular application is a great way of promoting a technology. Everyone knows that Facebook is built with PHP, so people are more likely to choose PHP than ASP.NET.
Kathy John replied on Tue, 2012/02/21 - 1:07pm
Also, I used AIR to create a CMIS client. Again, I took advantage of the ATOM services. It is much easier in AIR than in any other language to build this type of application.

So in conclusion, if flash is mounted, there is no way to automatically get standard exposure in Av mode.
Also it is undesireable to use Av mode, simply because there is no way I can make my Min shutter speed to 1/90 or 1/125. Also Auto ISO is Clipped to 400.
My intention is, I want the camera to automatically get exposure of ambient light 1 stop below standard exposure exposure (given min shutter speed and auto ISO), in different lighting condition. And be able adjust FEC as necessary.
As conclusion There is No Way to do this.
I often use Av mode for flash stuff for candids, etc, because it does meter for the ambient. I'll typically set the meter to -1 and then adjust FEC accordingly. Set the ISO manually high enough so that the ambient is about 1/100-1/200. Enable HSS on the flash in case you walk into a brighter area and the shutter speed goes past the sync speed of the camera.
It might be worth checking out the manual to see if you can override the max iso of 400 constraint. Is it only with flash attached, etc? Perhaps there is a setting to remove it.

The Maloof family does not want to be in Sacramento. Think about anything you have ever wanted like a relationship or even a job. If you want nothing else than to get hired or fall in love, you don't give up. You take risks and you figure out a way to make your dreams happen. The owners of the Sacramento Kings have shown none of that here.May 8th, 2012 Rob McAllister at Cowbell Kingdom

Job Advice for Teens
Looking for Resume Guide and Tips? Click Here!
We're here to help teenagers find jobs. It's tough to earn that first paycheck, but we're here to make it easier.
Learning how to apply for jobs isn't something we always learn in school, but it's an important skill. It's especially important as a teen applying for your first job to make a good first impression, and Myfirstpaycheck.com can help.
Check out our five quick job searching tips below:
1. Be Brave. Even in this economy, there are plenty of employers out there looking for the affordable, enthusiastic, and energetic help that teenagers provide, but you have to go out and ask for it. Don't be afraid to apply for jobs.
2. Be Polite. You are applying for a job; dress up, make eye contact, shake hands, and avoid using slang. First impressions matter - make sure you are remembered for your application and not your attitude.
3. Be Prepared. Bring a resume and a cover letter whenever you apply for a job. Having a good resume is essential. It shows that you are serious about the position, and that you are mature and responsible. If you need help writing a resume, myfirstpaycheck.com provides a dynamic free resume for teens
that is very helpful.
4. Be Persistent. It would be nice if you were immediately offered every job that you ever applied for, unfortunately this is not the case for anybody. Persistence pays off; send a thank you note to interviewers, follow-up if you do not hear about the job after a week, and keep applying.
5. Be Creative. Look for work in places other than the mall. The weakening economy means that people are going to be looking to cut costs in areas such as lawn and child care. Get a few friends together and start a landscaping or a babysitting business. Working for yourself is a great way to earn money and develop skills that will help you find your next job.
We have surveyed our friends and colleagues to find out how that got that first job and what advice they have for today's teens. Read what they had to say.
And check out the tab on the left for more tips and advice!
If you have advice to give, please take our survey.
