(WAOW)- The Chucks knocked off the Eau Claire Express 3-2 at Carson Park last night in game one of the South Division Championship series, giving the team 11 wins in its last 12 games.
Now game two comes to Athletic Park, where with a win, the Chucks can advance to the Northwoods League Championship series.
They've focused on the little things all year, and that can't change tonight.
Says Field Manager Guido Aspeitia, "We don't even talk about winning or losing anymore, it's just about going out, pitch for pitch, doing your job, and just approaching the game a certain way, and we've really taken the results out of everything."
Says Travis Whitmore, "We have 27 more outs and if we play our game, we'll be the South Division champions, so there's no better time to be focused than right now, and we're all extremely focused and ready to go. "

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) – Accepting a scholarship offer from the University of Louisville translates into fist bumps, crazy Twitter love and praise from the recruiting world.
On Tuesday night Quentin Snider, a junior guard at Ballard High School, tasted the flip side of the attention that he ignited after he committed to Rick Pitino and U of L:
Students from Jeffersonville High School chanted "O-VER-RA-TED!" whenever Snider touched the basketball in a game that Ballard won, 69-67. If Snider missed a shot, the crowd roared and stomped. A turnover made them happier. A missed free throw late in the fourth period of a tense, back-and-forth game nearly sent the Jeff students home delirious.
"I heard it," Snider said. "It's the first time that all the crowd was all over me."
It started when Snider turned the ball over about two minutes into the game. It never stopped, even after Snider knifed into the lane for a difficult, twisting layup that put Ballard ahead, 58-56, with 5:50 to play. Snider finished with 12 points, missing a dozen of 17 shots.
"This was a tough game for Quentin," Ballard coach Chris Renner said. "This was probably one of the first games that I've seen Quentin struggle. He's a young man that since he's been at Ballard High School he's really had nothing but success."
There was more. It seemed as if several Jeffersonville players had a few discouraging words to whisper into his ear, too. Darryl Baker, Jeff's best player, played as if he was determined to do everything a little better than Snider.
Baker scored 30, including a pair of three pointers and all 12 of his free throws.
"The other players just talk a lot," Snider said. "I have to play through that."
Did all the noise affect Snider? Remember he is only a junior, trying to direct a team ranked Number One in Kentucky to be in position to win a state championship. Less than two weeks ago, Snider scored 28 in a game Ballard played against the Harrison twins, seniors from suburban Houston who have committed to play for the University of Kentucky.
"A little bit," Snider said. "I still played through it. I think I'm going to have a target around me the whole year. I've just got to play through it."
Snider did play through it Tuesday, especially with the assistance of his teammates Lavonne Holland (18 points) and Kelan Martin (22). Jeffersonville had no answers for Martin. The Red Devils are an undersized team that essentially starts five guards. Martin is a full-sized, 6-foot-6 post player. He scored at least four points in every quarter – eight in winning time during the fourth quarter.
Renner complimented the atmosphere, considering it additional proof of how much Southern Indiana communities care about their high school teams. Renner knows that playing through the noise in Jeff in December can translate into playing through the noise of state tournament final exams in Kentucky in March.
But if Snider did not play an unforgettable offensive game, his defense was a factor. High school basketball games last 32 minutes. Jeffersonville made nearly one turnover for every minute, finishing with 31.
The Red Devils stayed in the game because of Baker, a tough, determined senior. Two years ago it seemed as if Baker was going to have as many scholarship offers as Snider. It hasn't worked out that way – because of injuries, an aborted move to Indianapolis and grades. Baker said it was likely that he would have to play in junior college next season.
But Snider will have to play through the noise this season – and next season. He will find himself in more gyms with opposing teams and opposing players trying to rattle a guy who has already secured a scholarship with Pitino and U of L.
"Sometimes it's games like this that really build a kid's character," Renner said. "I know he's frustrated. I know he's down. He knows he didn't play well. Don't need to tell him that. But he's also happy that the team won."

Confusing how to put together.
Wish there had been instructions on how to put the plastic sign on the shirt without having to cut a hole in it so you would not see the cord. Really cool item tho and how it activated directly with the beat. The only problem will be having to cut a hole in each shirt we put it on and the sticky is already worn from the first application.

A valley mother is under arrest, accused of holding her two children at knife point -- and it allegedly happened on Christmas day.
Jutrina Tillman's 13-year-old daughter called police on Christmas night to report she thought her mother was going to kill her and her 5-year-old brother. Jutrina Tillman is accused off pressing an 8-inch butcher knife against her son's chest and aiming it at her daughter.
32-year-old Tillman went before a judge Tuesday. Court paperwork says Tillman was under the influence of alcohol when she got mad at her 5-year-old son for playing video games. That's when Tillman allegedly tried to strangle the little boy.
Her 13-year-old daughter shoved Tillman away from her brother -- that's when Tillman allegedly grabbed an 8-inch butcher knife, aimed it at her daughter and pressed the blade into her son's chest.
Tuesday, a judge set her bond at $108,000. Tillman argued about it with the judge.
"No one was hurt… all of these charges, they are not true. They are not true and they didn't happen. My daughter is very manipulative," she said.
Tillman goes on to tell the judge that her daughter got caught having sex, and out of spite called the police on her mother. Court paperwork reveals an open child abuse case involving Tillman and her 13-year-old daughter.
Tillman is being held on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, child abuse, and threatening and intimidating.
The 5-year-old had visible marks on his neck, but will be ok.

vacation rental description
Our hand built log and stone home is in central Roaring Fork Valley, a little closer to Aspen than Glenwood Springs. We have stunning views of the Rocky Mountains. Our home has a cozy, rustic feel, with incredible opportunities for recreation. Amenities include a wood stove, a porch with hammocks, a fire pit in the front yard, a wood burning sauna in the back, a community swimming pool and tennis court in the summer, and cross country skiing, hiking or biking right from the door.
We're on the edge of a subdivision, but we have a very rural feel, with preserved open space to the north, east and south. We're on three acres, but it feels much larger because of the open space in three directions. We're perched three miles above the highway (so there's easy access to shopping and local communities, with a great bus system connecting the valley), with inspiring views of the mountains. Wildlife abounds, with sightings of deer, fox, coyote, elk and many birds. The weather is often delightful, with warm (not hot) summers and snowy winters -- definitely distinct seasons. We're about a half hour from the ski slopes of Aspen or the hot springs and other attractions of Glenwood Springs.
The sauna is available all year, and after heating up you can jump in the snow in the winter, or in a small stream in the summer. The community pool and hot tub are little used, so often it's like a private pool. You can enjoy the cultural and recreational activities of the valley, and then rest and relax with the amenities in and around our home.
You can see more photos on our home exchange listing 205637.
The bedrooms are laid out as follows:
Master bedroom has a queen bed and a small outside deck

Barclays trio charged over Libor
12:08pm Monday 17th February 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Three former Barclays employees have been charged in relation to the alleged manipulation of Libor benchmark interest rates.
The men were named by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) as Peter Charles Johnson, Jonathan James Mathew and Stylianos Contouglas.
They are accused of conspiracy to defraud between June 1 2005 and August 31 2007, and will appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on a date to be notified.
The SFO said the investigation into Libor is continuing.
The SFO announced in July 2012 that it was investigating allegations of Libor-fixing.
It says it is continuing to work with City regulator the Financial Conduct Authority and the US Department of Justice, which are also conducting investigations.
Three other men - Tom Hayes, Terry Farr and James Gilmour - face trial in relation to Libor rate-rigging allegations next year. They deny the charges.
Banks have been fined billions of pounds by regulators in the UK, Europe and the US for allegations in relation to fixing of benchmark rates.
These are used for hundreds of trillions of dollars-worth of loans and transactions around the world and are calculated using submissions from panels of banks about the rates at which they believe they can borrow every day.
Barclays declined to comment on today's announcement.
Its annual financial results last week gave details of civil legal action over alleged rate-rigging as well as regulatory inquiries around the world.
The first court appearance for the three men is likely to be on February 26.
Johnson and Mathew were said to be Libor submitters while Contouglas was a trader.

Zachary Cokas, 14, a ninth-grader at Wakefield High School, won second place statewide in his division for his entry in the 2013 N.C. School Bus Safety Poster Contest.
This years theme was At My Stop You Stop, meant to reinforce the importance of coming to a full stop behind or in front of a school bus while it is stopped to let students off or on.
Zacharys entry incorporated a distracted driver who is looking at a smartphone, where half of the contests theme is displayed. The other half of the theme is being spoken by the bus itself. The poster was judged by participants from around the state who attended the N. C. Pupil Transportation Association Conference in Sunset Beach.

On Thursday, September 7th, Conn-Selmer honored its exclusive Japanese Vincent Bach distributor Nonaka Boeki with a presentation of the 700,000th Bach Stradivarius trumpet. The 700,000th serial number instrument was built at the Bach plant in June and was held for the special presentation in front of the entire manufacturing team.
Conn-Selmer and Selmer Paris are proud to announce a collaboration project for two new saxophone models with planned arrival in time for the 2012 holiday season. Since the inception of the saxophone, the Selmer Paris brand has become the most recognized name in professional instruments. As the North American distributor and the owner of the Selmer name in the USA, Conn-Selmer has established an equally strong market position in student and intermediate instruments. This collaboration will draw the two companies' brands together in performance and value for price packages that cannot be offered by any other manufacturer.
Dr. Eugene Rousseau, famed performing artist and master teacher of saxophone, has recently introduced an important new addition to his popular saxophone mouthpiece line. The new E.Rousseau RC alto saxophone mouthpieces deliver a centered, darker tone, a wide dynamic range and terrific response, including a distinctively improved lower register.
The RC mouthpiece design features slightly reshaped sidewalls and baffle, and is now available for alto saxophone in three facings – RC3 (med. close), RC4 (medium) and RC5 (med. open). The E.Rousseau saxophone mouthpiece line is distributed by music dealers worldwide through Conn-Selmer.
Dr. Rousseau's mouthpieces include special designs for both classical and jazz performance. The Classic R Series is designed to meet the needs of the serious classical performer. These mouthpieces provide a warm centered tone, positive response, and powerful projection. The New Classic line delivers for players that prefer a more controlled response. Recently added is the Classic RC Series for Alto that features a centered, darker tone and provides for a wide dynamic range with terrific response, including a distinctively improved lower register.
The E.Rousseau Jazz models are designed for power and versatility needed to cover the entire spectrum of jazz, pop and rock performance. The Studio Jazz Series provides excellent edge and power, but remains consistent with a traditional solid tonal center, while the JDX Series features a unique wedged baffle that balances a stable sound with greater power, offering the edge and projection needed to "cut through". The Jazz Metal mouthpieces allow the player to achieve a powerful tone with an excellent balance of edge and warmth.

Introducing the new, versatile and expressive sound of two Bach Stradivarius trumpets. Upholding the legendary tradition of master craftsman and visionary Vincent Bach, both deliver an ingenious sound to the world-class line of Bach Stradivarius.
These new additions create a sound like no other. Innovations in bell and two-piece valve casing make these new models stand out. Jose Hernandez, world renowned trumpet player enthusiastically stated, "The Bach Stradivarius model LR19043B has made the Mariachi Sol De Mexico brass section sound like never before!! Classic in style, beautiful in sound, craftsmanship second to none!" These trumpets exude versatile expressive sound, open feel and quick response.
Design features include standard weight one-piece hand-hammered bronze bell, lightweight body, reversed leadpipe, two-piece valve construction, first slide finger ring, third slide reversed rod stop, Monel pistons, deluxe engraving and a deluxe wood shell case with cover. Available in lacquer finish (LR19043B) and silver plating (LR190S43B).
Recognizing Daellenbach's impact on the music world, presenters Dan Perantoni (Indiana University) and Robert Tucci (Bavarian Opera Orchestra) underscored a career that has taken the sound of brass to millions of listeners throughout the world.
The Oregon Crusaders, Oregon's Major League Team in Marching Music, received the top marching brass honors at the Drum Corps International (DCI) Open Class competition on Tuesday, August 7th in Michigan City, Indiana with a score of 19.40 in brass performance. With their 2012 program "Dreaming in Color," Oregon Crusaders went on to the world class competition where they received 18th place for their brass performance.
Conn-Selmer was honored to be featured in an article in the August issue of Music Trades Magazine. The story focused on Conn-Selmer's focus on US manufacturing and an alignment of new resources centered on its dealer partners.

One of the best fights on the under card of UFC 127 is James Te Huna vs. Alexander Gustafsson. It features a New Zealand physical brute against a top Swedish prospect. It also promises to deliver a ton of action. Here's a basic way to understand this fight:
Brutalizer James Te Huna from New Zealand makes his return to the UFC after UFC 110 when he locks horns with Sweden's Alexander Gustafsson. Gustaffson enters this bout fresh of UFC 120 win over Cyrille Diabate.
And the Swede looked good in dispatching Diabate, too. This is an excellent fight if for no other reason than top UFC light heavyweight prospect Gustaffson will be a stiff, but beatable challenge in Te Huna. Here's how I predicted it would end:
Even when he's lost I've been impressed with Gustaffson. Strong willed, much more well-rounded than he's given credit, calm in the pocket or bad spots, etc. He's got exactly the type of skills to deal with a first-round destroyer like Te Huna. The New Zealander might still be able to turn off the lights, but I suspect he'll get dragged into later rounds where the poise and skill of the Swede take over. Gustafsson by TKO.

Guyana's attractions range from the 19th-century stilted wooden houses of its capital, Georgetown, to the awesome natural splendour of the towering Kaieteur Falls along the Potaro River, five times the height of Niagara. The country's mixture of rainforests, beaches, savannah and rivers draws adventure tourists hoping to camp, trek, fish or perhaps be lucky enough to spot a jaguar.
It was the Dutch who first established a European presence here in around 1616. They remained in undisputed control until the end of the 18th century. The outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars then brought a period of turmoil during which the territory changed hands several times between the Dutch, British and French.The British ultimately prevailed following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. The territory was then declared the colony of British Guiana, a status which it retained until independence in 1966.
After the abolition of slavery in 1834, the plantation owners imported labourers from India. Indians now form the largest racial group, with most living in the agricultural areas, particularly around Demerara. Other immigrants were Americans, Europeans (Portuguese, British and Dutch) and Chinese.

How Can We Hold Prosecutors Accountable for Misconduct?
by John Terzano The Justice Project, Tue May 12, 2009 at 04:55:23 AM EDT
Prosecutors are rarely held accountable for acts of misconduct or abuses of power in our country. Yet another example of this reality comes from a case out of Florida, where prosecutors engaged in egregious, intentional courtroom misconduct throughout the trial. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately upheld the conviction in the case because they found that the misconduct did not affect the outcome of the trial.
The law provides judges with tools that guide them to weigh prosecutorial misconduct against the facts of a case to determine whether the misconduct was severe enough to affect the outcome of the trial. Regardless of what appellate courts decide (i.e., to uphold the conviction or remand it for retrial), the simple truth is that misconduct has occurred. Unfortunately, the system does not provide judges with tools to guide them on how to address acts of prosecutorial misconduct. While defense attorneys, fellow prosecutors, and judges are ethically obligated to report acts of misconduct by prosecutors to the proper disciplinary authority, this reporting rarely happens. When prosecutors do face disciplinary proceedings, meaningful sanctions are uncommon and rarely go further than a public censure.
As a result, prosecutors can predict how much misconduct will be tolerated by the system before a case even goes to trial. As long as the misconduct doesn't prejudice the outcome of a trial to the point that a conviction is reversed, the misconduct will slip through the cracks and the prosecutor will not face any consequences.

Track and Field opens season at the Florida Intercollegiate on Saturday
Jan. 11, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville University track and field team officially begins the 2007 season on Saturday as they travel to compete in the Florida Intercollegiate, in Gainesville.
The Dolphins return 10 athletes from last season's squad that won the A-Sun indoor and outdoor track titles, led by senior Janita Ocana and sophomore Natasha Harvey.
"Our goals for the weekend are to compete hard and get a true evaluation of our training," said JU head coach Ron Grigg, who was named the A-Sun "Coach of the Year" in 2006.
Harvey along with freshman Tiffany Bromfield each competed over the winter break as they represented JU at the Yale Season Opener in New Haven, Conn., on Dec. 9.
Harvey posted a 7.69 to place first in the preliminaries of the 60-meter dash before running a time of 7.72 in the finals to take the event. She also took second in the 200-meter dash (25.52) and recorded a personal-best in the shot put with a 10.96m to finish eighth.
Bromfield ran a time of 9.18 in the preliminaries of the 60-meter hurdles. She took first in the finals with a mark of 9.24.
Bromfield finished ninth, behind Harvey, in the shot put with a 9.71m and ran a time of 27.70 in the 200-meter dash to place 15th.

Lamborn Strikes the "Tar Baby" Tar Baby
20 comments:
Great column, Ari. You nailed it, as usual. -- Wayne LaugesenReplyDelete
The difference between the incidents given is that it was used towards a person of color not a situation. To refer to a man as a "tar baby" is different than referring to a particular situation as a tar baby. Big difference!!ReplyDelete
Amie, You are simply misstating what Lamborn actually said. Please see my follow-up: http://bit.ly/oK016gReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2011 at 1:34 PM
This is a copy of my letter to Wayne and it applies to you too Ari: Wayne, Your comment about the 3 little pigs is far reaching. Tar baby is and was a derogative term used against people of color. It's a term used to belittle them and encourage hatred. You can continue attempting to defend Mr. Lamborn or you can fess up and admit that such a mean spirited term easily rolling of his tongue is unacceptable.ReplyDelete
The fact that others have used it doesn't make it the right thing to do. You know that.
In today's climate of increasing hate and acceptance of bigotry any and all innuendos, whether intentional or not need to be stopped immediately.
Pat Hill
Pat, Your claims are complete nonsense, and they reveal a basic ignorance about the origins of the tar baby. The tar baby is an African folktale! Please read my two follow-up articles:ReplyDelete
Ari - you are going to defend him regardless of the IMPACT that was felt. Please google Intent vs. IMPACT? It is the IMPACT that matters.ReplyDelete
"Even if some people say, 'Well the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that,' they will hold the President responsible. Now, I don't even want to have to be associated with him. It's like touching a tar baby and you get it, you're stuck, and you're a part of the problem now and you can't get away. - He was using the term to describe President Obama not a certain situation. And why is MR. Lamborn deleting comments from his Facebook page?
Amie, Your argument is again complete nonsense. If it's "the impact that matters," then the logical course would be to repeal the First Amendment. What matters is motivation. In your reading of Lamborn's comments, you are conveniently neglecting the terms "stuck" and "the problem." I imagine that if Lamborn's staffers are deleting Facebook comments, its because some posters are libeling the guy. -AriReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2011 at 2:26 PM
You missed the entire point of my email - which being - the term is used negatively. The roots of the term are irrelevant. It's the current conception of the word that is. Even the N word wasn't quite the connotation that it is today. You are trying to find excuses for it and there just aren't any. Pat (and please, I don't call you words nonsense, irregardless of what I think of them, I'd appreciate the same courtesy).
Pat, In calling your arguments nonsense, I am making a factual assessment, and one I stand by. The roots of the term are extremely relevant, for they reveal that the racist misuse of the term is an aberration based on fundamental ignorance of the folklore. As I've indicated, the real problem is obliterating important African folklore simply because a few idiots abuse it. And, as my examples make clear, the term has been widely used in its proper meaning up to the present day. (Please note that I may decline to continue posting back-and-forth that does not significantly advance the debate.)ReplyDelete
When I taught composition to freshmen at USC, it was always a struggle to get them to accept that the associations their audience would bring to their choice of words was every bit as important as what they meant when they wrote them. A skilled communicator considers connotation as well as denotation, even though connotation may be more slippery. Lamborn's statement was a mistake because it got people talking not about his point but about his personality and his choice of words. He failed to get the spotlight on Obama, and directed it at himself instead. If you are in public life, you need to able to manage the discussion. Lamborn made a rookie error, although he's no rookie at this point.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2011 at 3:02 PM
The term has also been used even more widely as a racial slur. The existence of one (literature) does not negate the existence of the other (racial slur). They both "are," and both are valid.ReplyDelete
If Lamborn was giving a presentation on literature and used the term, no foul. But the fact is, Lamborn used it from his podium as a US legislator to describe our Black President.
Lamborn is a duly-elected representative of his district and constituents, which include not only readers of Br'er Rabbit but also African-Americans. He failed to fulfill his obligations to all. He offended his consituents. Period.
Ignorance is not an excuse, nor do I personally buy that he didn't know exactly what he was saying. Racial code words abound since we have elected a Black President. But I digress.
Bottom line: Lamborn should have known better. Is ignorance of a racial slur an excuse to use it? Not at all. Just like ignorance of the law is not an excuse to break that law.
Using Lamborn's logic, the same would be true of this scenario:
Lamborn runs a red light, seriously harming a pedestrian. It was unfortunate, yes; intentional, no. He should not be held accountable as he wasn't aware that running a red light was against the law. And further, "If there's reasonable people, they'll know this was totally unintentional on my part."
Although mighty creative, Lamborn's argument is laughable. And I'm sure Lamborn even in his lawyer days, having presented that argument, would have been laughed right out of court. And the Judge, being a reasonable guy, wouldn't give two bits that Lamborn felt he was being "unreasonable."
The claim that Lamborn called Obama a tar baby is simply a lie, and I will not post any additional such lies on this page.ReplyDelete
Anonymous's analogy to striking a pedestrian with a car is so strained, so ridiculous, that it demands no rebuttal.
Please allow me to soften the above comment. I've carefully explained why the claim that Lamborn called Obama a tar baby takes Lamborn's actual statement out of context (again, observe the words "stuck" and "the problem"). Given I've done that, I'm really not interested in posting additional comments here that continue to take Lamborn's comments out of context. I really do need to extricate myself from the "tar baby" tar baby at some point! But I apologize for coming across as overly heated, and I do appreciate people reading my posts, even (or perhaps I should say especially) when they disagree. Our mutual goal should be to reach valid conclusions through reasoned review and debate.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2011 at 4:03 PM
Analyzing Lamborn's remarks from an English grammar point of view: I don't even want to be associated with him. It's like touching a, a tar baby. The word "him" in this sentence refers back to President Obama, and "a, a tar baby" refers back to "him" which refers back to President Obama. If any of the White, male presidential candidates in 2008 were president now, Do you think Lamborn would have chosen that phrase, "tar baby"? Neither do I. Just as we no longer refer to "Little Black Sambo", "tar baby" is passé. And actually I'm beginning to think that only men and/or politicians use this term. I have NEVER heard it in conversation--except when I lived in the Detroit area where it was used by Whites as a racial slur along with the word "Sambo".ReplyDelete
Dear Anonymous, Why do you think it's remotely fair to quote only part of Lamborn's comments? In context, he obviously means the tar baby remark to refer to getting "stuck" in "the problem." As is abundantly obvious to anyone who has given a live presentation, it is impossible to always state all of one's points with absolute, crystal clarity. That is simply the nature of extemporaneous speaking.ReplyDelete
Why are you so determined to take Lamborn's quotation in the worst possible light? Those who assume, without evidence, that Lamborn is a racist simply want to see Republicans as racists, and no amount of evidence to the contrary will persuade them.
As to how you've heard the term used, that reveals nothing about the essential meaning of it. But, for what it's worth, I've never personally heard the term used with racial overtones, and I've offered numerous examples of it being used in its legitimate meaning.
Thanks, -Ari

Schizophrenics often suffer from paranoid delusions. They see things that don't exist.ReplyDelete
We need a new term, racialphrenics. Basically a type of schizophrenia in which the victim sees racism when it does not exist. Characterized by a hyper sensitivity to their surrounding resulting in racial delusions.

Ari perhaps you have not studied black history. Hot tar was poured over slaves and then they were covered with feathers and displayed to the rest of the plantation to invoke terror. The term "tar baby" invokes memories of this practice and should not be used toward any black person let alone the President of the United States.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your in-depth study of the origin and use of "tar baby". I appreciate it. Of course, Lamborn was referring to the debt-ceiling "crisis" and not to a person. But, don't expect any logic from the fringe left!
Tar and feathers is most associated with upstart colonialists targeting disfavored public officials. Clearly it is not an inherently racist term. And, obviously, tarring and feathering has nothing to do with a tar baby. Or should we simply ban tar and its term?ReplyDelete

Global variable?
I'm able to retrieve data from the database but I'm having trouble using the returned variable. At the bottom of the code example I inserted DISPLAY JAVASCRIPT VAR region here??? where I need to use the region variable. How can I change my code to do that? Here's my code:
Code JavaScript:
function handlePosition(pos) { $.ajax({ url: 'map.php', data: "lat=" + pos.coords.latitude + "&lon=" + pos.coords.longitude, dataType: 'json', success: function(data) { region = data[0]; } }); } </script> <select id="cities" multiple="multiple" name="cities[]" title="Confirm Your Deal Location" multiple="multiple" data-native-menu="false"> <?php $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT name, id FROM `db` WHERE id != '1' ORDER BY name "; $sql_result = mysql_query($sql) or die(sprintf("Couldn't execute query, %s: %s", db_errno(), db_error())); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $mailregion = $row['name']; $group_id = $row['id']; ?> <option value="<?php echo "$group_id"; ?>" <?php if (($mailregion == 'Internet') || ($mailregion == DISPLAY JAVASCRIPT VAR region here???)) { echo "selected=\"selected\""; } ?>><?php echo "$mailregion"; ?></option>

It is not possible for JavaScript to be run at the same time as PHP, so PHP cannot directly get any JavaScript information.
What PHP needs to do is to set the selected option without knowing about the JavaScript variable.
Code php:
<?php if (($mailregion == 'Internet')) { echo "selected=\"selected\""; } ?>
When JavaScript runs and does its job, you can then use JavaScript to update the selected option depending on what it now knows.
Something like this should work:

var region = data[0]; $('#cities').val( $('#cities option:contains(' + region + ')') );Programming Group Advisor

Apple has disabled, without explanation, a jailbreak detection API in iOS less than six months after introducing it. Device management vendors say the reasons for the decision are a mystery, but insist they can use alternatives to discover if an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad has been modified so they can load and modify applications outside of Apple's iTunes-based App Store.
Jailbroken devices pose a serious security threat to the enterprise. Even if the end user doesn't intend to load malware, he will be completely unaware of malware present in unauthorized apps.
[ Stay ahead of advances in mobile technology with InfoWorld's Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
Managing smartphones calls for new realism and flexibility
Apple declined to comment.
The new API was part of a bundle of MSM (mobile device management) APIs released in June with iOS 4.0. These APIs were available to third-party MDM applications, such as AirWatch or Sybase's Afaria. With the new APIs, these servers could access directly a range of features and information in iOS or on the device. But in the recently-released 4.2 version, the API intended for detecting jailbreaks has been either removed or disabled.
This detection API let the MDM applications in effect ask the operating system if it had been compromised. Jailbreak exploits typically change a number of operating system files, and exploit one or another low-level OS features to let users directly load their own or third-party applications. In October 2010, two separate jailbreaks made use of different vulnerabilities uncovered in the iOS boot ROM, for example. Apple warns that jailbreaking voids the device's warranty and could damage the phone.
Previously, some MDM vendors had created their own series of OS checks to detect jailbreaks, analogous to those performed by an anti-virus application on a PC, to discover if a jailbreak had occurred.
But the new detection API gave these applications direct access to information in the OS. In theory, the iOS device then "confesses" that it has been jailbroken, thereby triggering automatic responses such as alerting the helpdesk or shutting down access to corporate Exchange Server e-mail.
"We used it when it was available, but as an adjunct," says Joe Owen, vice president of engineering at Sybase, which offers the Afaria device management software. "I'm not sure what motivated their removing that.... I've not had anyone [at enterprise customer sites] talk to me about this API being present or being removed."
