I had a VBA routine that worked using SENDCOMMAND.
my VB.NET version does not work using SENDCOMMAND (well, it does work, just not at the right time).
I've looking into the problem I have found that SENDCOMMAND is asynchronous in the document context but not in the application context. What does that mean? There is document.editor.SENDCOMMAND, but no application.SENDCOMMAND (or is there?).
So I tried using acedcommand (&/or acedcmd) but i'm getting an IDE error saying "AcEdCommand' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Friend' "
what is the proper syntax or methodology for using acedcommand?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for the link, but my C knowledge is very weak, I'm using VB.
what does this do:
private static extern int acedCmd(System.IntPtrvlist);
is it declaring a integer variable named acedcmd? no, not with an arguement.
so is it prototyping a function named acedcmd that has an arguement in the form of a system.intptrvlist type and returns an integer? & the intptrvlist is essentially the list of strings that you want to send?
but isn't acedcmd aldready a function?
[DllImport("acad.exe", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, EntryPoint = "acedCmd")] private static extern int acedCmd(System.IntPtr vlist);
The whole of the above is the code needed for PInvoke of acedCmd. The attribute (stuff between []) is the import of the command and it decorates the private static extern int acedCmd(System.IntPtr vlist) so the acedCmd is available in your code.
The System.IntPtr vlist is actually a result buffer that is created a few lines below:
ResultBuffer rb = new ResultBuffer(); // RTSTR = 5005 rb.Add(new TypedValue(5005, "_.INSERT")); // start the insert command acedCmd(rb.UnmanagedObject);
After you have the PInvoke and extern declared you can use the acedCmd as above, the result buffer holds a string (code 5005) and in this case the string is the insert command. This is how the acedCmd is used, you cant just send it a string directly, you need to use result buffers.
If you look at the documentation for result buffer you will see the different codes and how they work. If you google PInvoke you can get more details on how it works and what exactly is going on.
From the documentation the returned int:
The return value of acedCmd() does not indicate the success or failure of a command. The function usually returns RTNORM. It returns RTCAN if the user cancels the command by pressing [Ctrl]+[C] or [Ctrl]+[Break]. It returns RTERROR or RTREJ to indicate a failure of undefined origin, not a command failure.
RTNORM and RTCAN etc are integers defined somewhere else as constants in the ObjectARX files. Not sure off the top of my head where though.
One more edit, the private static extern int acedCmd(System.IntPtr vlist)
You see the System.IntPtr vlist in there, and from the documentation above you read:
int acedCmd(const struct resbuf * rbp);
IMO, you'd rather try to hard code what the native command do.
Most of the time it's more easy than understanding how to P/invoke unmanaged methods and it's a good way to learn the API.
yeah, looks like I might have to. The thing is that I already have a fully functional VBA routine that has a lot going on. To match the funtionality of VPLAYER, I'm going to have to do a great deal of additional work involving searching layertables & retrieving IDs. Just a lot of extra work to replicate something that already works in VBA. + the viewport object's methods don't cover all of the functinality of VPLAYER, therefore I have to write additional alogorithms to replicate the functionality that my VBA routine provided via VPLAYER.
It is rather irritating.
VB.NET, for me, is like using a jet fighter to go to the store to get some beer instead of using a car (VBA), when you have a car that runs & you know how to drive very well, but someone (microsoft) won't let you drive it anymore.
I agree.
By my side, to get some beers at the store, I'd rather use AutoLISP with which you can easily script native commands.
Anyway, here's a little helper to use acedCmd with managed code (inspired by Tony Tanzillo's CommandLine (thanks again to him).
The Command method build the resultbuffer with the passed arguments.
EDIT: with A2013, replace "acad.exe" with "accore.dll" in the DllImport attribute arguments.
[System.Security.SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity] [DllImport("acad.exe", EntryPoint = "acedCmd", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)] extern static private int acedCmd(IntPtr resbuf); /// <summary> /// Call an AutoCAD command (runs synchronously). /// </summary> /// <param name="args">The command name followed by command inputs.</param> public static void Command(params object[] args) { ResultBuffer resbuf = new ResultBuffer(); foreach (object obj in args) { switch (obj.GetType().Name) { case "String": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Text, obj)); break; case "Int16": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Int16, obj)); break; case "Int32": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Int32, obj)); break; case "Double": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Double, obj)); break; case "Point2d": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Point2d, obj)); break; case "Point3d": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Point3d, obj)); break; case "ObjectId": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.ObjectId, obj)); break; case "ObjectId[]": foreach (ObjectId id in (ObjectId[])obj) resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.ObjectId, id)); break; case "ObjectIdCollection": foreach (ObjectId id in (ObjectIdCollection)obj) resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.ObjectId, id)); break; case "SelectionSetDelayMarshalled": case "SelectionSetFullyMarshalled": resbuf.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.SelectionSet, obj)); break; default: throw new InvalidOperationException("Unsupported type in Command() method"); } } acedCmd(resbuf.UnmanagedObject); }

Using examples (VB):
Draws a line.
Command("_.line", New Point3d(10.0, 20.0, 0.0), New Point3d(80.0, 50.0, 0.0), "")
Freezes the "0" layer in the selected viewport.
Command("_.vplayer", "_freeze", "0", "_select", "\", "", "")
- an empty string ("") means a validation (Enter)
- an anti-slash ("\" with VB or "\\" with C#) means a pause for user input.
thank you so much, that works in a very awesome manner.
how can I use LISP functions or custom commands with that Tony's method?
I can't figure that out
If you want to run LISP functions, you'd rather use the Application.Invoke() method (A2011 or later) or P/Invoke the unmanaged acedInvoke() method.

Drivers on I-77 northbound got a surprise Thursday morning.
It was originally reported at about 10:15 a.m. as "debris on the road" at mile marker 10 in Charlotte.
As it turns out, AA batteries were spilled on the highway near the Trade Street exit.
Crews shut down I-77 northbound at Trade Street for a short time in order to clean up the batteries from the roadway.
The road was back open by early afternoon.
No one was hurt.

05 Silverado suspension improvements
Hey guys,
I need some ideas on the mods I can do to improve the ride of the truck. I am replacing shocks this weekend for Bilstein HDs, and putting on new tires next month. Are there any other mods one can do to "soften" the ride? As of now, any little pothole feels like i hit a brick wall with truck swaying and bouncing all over the place.
As much as I hope its the shocks, it almost feels like the springs are way too stiff. Is that possible? Only rationale behind that is a thought that an old shock absorber will make a ride too bouncy/soft as opposed to stiffer, but i'm not an expert.
so anyway, looking for ideas... do they make softer aftermarket springs, torsion bars, leaf springs, etc...? All I can find is discussion on lowering/raising, but nothing regarding improving ride quality.
You seriously want to soften your trucks ride? IMHO GM trucks have the best ride in the business.
Softening the ride will come at a price. Load carrying, towing and handling will suffer.
I'm not even sure there are aftermarket parts to do that without lowering it. I can guarantee you that the Bilstein HD shocks will stiffen the ride.
Tires will also change ride quality. A taller sidewall with a little less air will soften the ride where short sidewall tires are stiffer.
If you want a softer ride you might want to consider ditching the Silverado and picking up an Escalade EXT.

HA - thanks (but no thanks ) for your advice, but I think I have an actual issue with my ride because A) it was not always this rough and B) other silverados i've driven are MUCH softer than what I have. I guess I should've asked for possible reasons or repairs I can do, as opposed to "mods". And for anyone with real advice - Its an 05 ext cab 4WD.
Additional information helps a lot. You went from making mods to fixing a broken suspension. HUGE difference. BTW - my initial advice was "real" advice. You want a softer suspension, get the Caddy.

Paracutin did actually offer a good suggestion, check your tires and pressures.
If the truck was riding good before and is to stiff now theres only a few reasons for that.
Tires would be one reason, possibly a higher load rated tire than you previously had or your running more pressure now.
Another thing could be if your springs are worn and hitting the bumpstops, check the bumpstops for marks to see if your bouncing off them.
Also do you carry more of a load in the truck on a day to day basis than you used to?
Trucks with torsion bars always had a somewhat stiff feeling when you hit bumps. Find out what shocks Caddy's use and use them.
ALSO check all of your suspension components, ball joints, tie rods and whatever else moves. My lower balls joints were so bad that they squeaked on a crack in the driveway and didn't have a boot and I could almost pull the stud out by hand; once I had those replaced the ride seemed to get better. My uppers and tie rod ends are the next to be replaced under there though.
A buddy of mine "dropped" his Z71 to a 2wd stance with drop keys and drop shackles in the back and it rides like a Caddy.
If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger cheater bar.

Thanks for good tips. Tim, I have original tires (standard load goodyears) at 35psi, use the truck with no load 90% of the time. Also note I'm at 100k miles.
So this morning I did a little more poking around per your advice - few observations:
1) torsion adjustment bolts are basically half way with torsion bars a little rusty at the keys.
2) measuring from the top of the tire well to ground - fronts are at 35.5 inches, while rear is at 38 inches. (I don't know what it should be at), but see observation 3
3) lower control arms appear to sit right up on the rubber bump stop with empty truck sitting flat is garage (see picture). This seems not right. unless the rubber bumper is meant to do some shock absorption, I feel like the suspension would have no up travel at all, which would explain hard pothole response. but once again - I am not sure what its supposed to be.
I would appreciate if you can comment of whether the front's height seems appropriate, and if not, what can be causing it.
I don't think bump stops are supposed to be touching all the time. I think they were put there to limit how far the suspension can travel after hitting a hard bump or dip.
I'd say crank them to where there is a gap between the 2 and see if that helps any. Once you get newer shocks it'll raise it up some but not for long
I went rhough the same problem with my 2001 Suburban. The ride was getting rough and it seemed like the front was riding on bump stop and sure it was. I replaced the bump stops and I raised the front by 1 inch and the ride has improved a lot. You will see my post in the Suburban forums.
I was even tempted to get rid of the bump stops totally so I did not have to raise the front but I did not.

Bazar, did you just raise it by cranking the torsion adjustment bolts? did it hold up for a while after you did that or did you need new torsion bars?

CINCINNATI -- The baseball world was abuzz Monday with the news 80-year-old Jack McKeon was back in the dugout to serve as interim manager of the Marlins.McKeon, who managed the Reds from 1997-2000 and led the Marlins to a 2003 World Series title, replaced Edwin Rodriguez, who resigned on Sunday. Reds manager Dusty Baker, who turned 62 last week, was asked if he had any desire to manage in his 80s. "I don't know. It depends if my wife was tired of me being home. Or if I was," Baker said with a laugh. "At this point in my life, you hate to say what you wouldn't do because things change. I remember Casey Stengel was around almost that long. I happen to like Trader Jack. I'm happy to see Jack back. I'm sorry to see one of my colleagues resign or lose his job. They're looking for the same manager in Jack that they had before."
Chapman to make final rehab outing Tuesday
CINCINNATI -- Reds left-hander Aroldis Chapman, who has been on a rehab assignment at Double-A Carolina, was in the clubhouse on Monday afternoon. Chapman did some running in the outfield and had a throwing session with pitching coach Bryan Price.Chapman is scheduled to have a final rehab outing on Tuesday at Triple-A Louisville. It is the final day of his 30-day assignment. A roster move will have to come on Wednesday. "Hopefully, he'll have another good outing and we can make a positive decision," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. Chapman, who last pitched for Carolina on Saturday, hurled two perfect innings, racking up three strikeouts in his best outing. He threw 21 pitches, 14 for strikes.
- 131 wins
- 121 wins
In five appearances with Carolina, Chapman has a 6.14 ERA, giving up five runs, five hits and six walks while fanning 11 over 7 1/3 innings. He has been on the disabled list since May 16 because of left shoulder inflammation, but has been deemed physically healthy for a few weeks now. The past several games have been needed to improve his command.
Worth noting
Reds pitcher Homer Bailey, who has been on the disabled list since May 28 with a right shoulder strain, will start for Triple-A Louisville against Pawtucket on Tuesday in his third rehab assignment game. ... In a presentation before the game, right fielder Jay Bruce received his National League Player of the Month Award for May.

First port Alanya very easy to walk around plenty to see if you dont do a trip,Limassol next again walk off and local buses very good.
In Israel we used GTI guided tours Israel cannot praise them highly enough they get very good critics the guide Mickey was passionate to show you as much as possible and with using small buses they access the sites much better especially as we were ther the same two days as the US president.
theay are much better value than the ship tours and cover more ,Israel was the highlight of our trip must do trips.
On the whole we find NCL food good and the staff are friendly they are accused of being nickel and dime but they dont make you buy all the extras !!
Cabin clean fridge handy and the entertainment was very good,the ship was quiet and stable they could do more on port talks and do a bit more at sea entertainment
Will criuse with NCL again Paul Lewis

Where the Money is Going
Any large government program can be confusing and difficult to understand. The $840 billion Recovery program is no exception, and that's why the Recovery Board is continually finding ways to make it easier to understand information posted on Recovery.gov.
Federal agencies — 28 of them — distribute funds under the Recovery program. How much money has a specific agency distributed to recipients? How much has an agency paid out for contracts, grants, and loans? How much for entitlements? Today (July 2), the Recovery Board is unveiling a new page that will give users of Recovery.gov easy answers to those questions, along with other information.
These agency summaries will be available by simply clicking on the "Where is the Money Going?'' line atop any Recovery.gov page. Then click on "Agency Data" and go to "Agency Profiles." Here's what you'll find, based on reports submitted to the Recovery Board by individual agencies or recipients of Recovery funds:
- The total amount awarded by an agency along with an up-to-date total of funds actually paid out to recipients.
- A breakdown of funding for contracts, grants and loans by categories, including education, transportation, housing and health.
- The amount of entitlements paid out in similar categories.
- The number of awards reported by recipients.
- The number of projects yet to get under way along with the number completed.
- The estimated jobs funded in each quarter.
- The states, cities, and recipients receiving the most funds.
We think this new page will enlighten you about the Recovery program and we would like to hear from you.
– Michael Wood, Executive Director, Recovery Board

Recovery.gov is one of the most needed websites this country needs right now. Thanks for posting and please keep up the good work.
What a great work. Please keep it up. This country needs sites like this. Well done
Our town who has suffered so much, Ocala, FL has 3 or 4 recovery projects going on and I know people who can feed their families today because of it!
Totally in agreement. It looks like a very good idea
It is a great initiative and I think that very necessary. Congratulations.
Looks like it's going to the right place to me.

BOSSIER CITY, LA (KLTV/KSLA) - A man wanted by authorities in Longview for murder was captured at his Bossier City residence on Tuesday afternoon by a contingency of local law enforcement.
Members of the United States Marshal's Violent Offender Task Force, along with Bossier City police and Shreveport police arrested Paul Anthony Mengel Jr., 27, at his home in the 1400 block of Gibson Drive at approximately 1:30 p.m. Mengel was wanted for the July 7, 2013 shooting death of a man in Longview.
Upon learning Mengel's location from Longview police, officers converged on his home and set up a perimeter. At one point Mengel exited the house and was ordered to surrender but retreated inside. Officers continued to order Mengel to give up but he refused. Three women eventually exited the house but Mengel remained inside. A Bossier City police K-9 was then deployed to assist with taking Mengel into custody. As a result, Mengel sustained a dog bite to his buttocks and was taken into custody without further incident.
Mengel was treated at LSU Health in Shreveport for the dog bite and was booked into the Bossier City Jail as a fugitive following his release from the hospital.
Longview police say they received a phone call on Sunday, July 8 reporting a shooting in the 300 block of Bonner Street. When officers arrived on the scene, they found 19-year-old Joey Lee Espy dead of apparent gunshot wounds.
A female was also in the residence and was transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center with non-life-threatening wounds.
Police believe narcotics may have been involved in the crime.

The thing is that that's not the most effective way to learn the basics of a second or third language.
Second-language acquisition is a well-studied field, and at least some teaching in the learner's own language (or a language that they know well) is more effective than immersion.
As an example, I can quickly teach you that almost all words that end in 'tion' in English are the same in French (pronunciation differs, of course), and they are all feminine, with the notable exception of 'translation'. And now you have hundreds of French words. Similarly for Spanish, except the endings are spelt 'ción' and there are a few more exceptions. Repeat with the suffix 'able'. It's the power of language transfer.
information -> information -> información
administration -> administration -> administración
education -> éducation -> educación
The reason language schools promote teaching solely in the target language is because it's easier for them: they can teach students with many native languages in the same class.

NEW ORLEANS - For the first time since Hurricane Katrina, serious negotiations for a new shopping mall at the Plaza site are under way. New Orleans City Councilman James Gray tells FOX 8 the city has a deal in the works that could bring bigger and better shopping.
An eyesore sits on the land right now in the form of a blighted theatre called The Grand. Untouched since Katrina, it is teeming with ants and covered in graffiti.

My New Year
Today is my birthday and so is my personal New Year. I am 36 today which I think is a great number as I have a thing for 3′s, 6′s, and 9′s… Each year I like to journal about how my year went and what my intentions are for the year to come. This year I thought I'd blog instead and share my vision with you. For my 36th year my mantra is going to be Deepen, Amplify, and Refine.

Day 12: Mary Ellsberg, Global Women's Institute, United States
Mary Ellsberg is an anti-violence activist and the director of The George Washington University's Global Women's Institute, which aims to support and improve the situation of women and girls worldwide through research, teaching, and engaged service. Mary has more than 30 years of experience in international research and program work, and has played a key role in preventing violence against women and children across the globe. She has seen firsthand the crucial role that communications plays in changing behaviors and challenging social norms.
"When I started working as an activist on violence against women and girls in Nicaragua, we had a terrible time getting journalists to pay any attention to women's stories of abuse. When we got any press coverage at all, it would be completely sensational," Mary explained. "However, the women's movement started working with journalists to change the way they covered violence, and more importantly, through communications campaigns with timely, innovative messages, they were able to change the way people think about violence."
Mary believes that access to technology, and social media in particular, has provided more opportunities than ever to create a dialogue about violence against women and girls. "The social media platforms take the messages out of the hands of traditional media, and allow men and women to reframe the narrative around violence," Mary said. "The Communications X-Change is such a great contribution, because it allows practitioners and activists around the world to share what they are doing, learn from each other, and support each others' work."

GOF Video Game RoundupVideo Games
September 02, 2005, 01:14 AM
Gamespot.com reviews the new GoF video game, saying "the artists are striving to make the characters look as close to their real-life counterparts as possible. The artists have also worked with the film's production design to create a Hogwarts and a Tri-Wizard Tournament that are both highly evocative of the forthcoming movie." Click here for similarities between the Nintendo and Game Boy Advance version.
There's also a new trailer of the game here, and MuggleNet has posted several scans containing screenshots of the game from a recent Nintendo Power Magazine.
You can pre-order the video game Cauldron Shop.

Hello developers,
I want to ask the user for confirmation before deleting something. I tried the following code:
This works, but it has two issues: ( with LWUIT 1.0.5 an Asha 501)Code:boolean confirmed = Dialog.show( "Confirmation", "Do you really want to delete the high score?", "Yes", "No"); if (confirmed){ ... }
1) It looks bad, because there is a white textbox inside the black-dimmed dialog background. see attached picture of confirmation dialog.
2) The back key is not handled by the dialog. when the user uses the back key, the user sees app-close-dialog. Instead back key should be handled like pessing the "No" button.
Is there a way to create a simple dialog which looks native and also handles the back-key?

Staring down a tornado—like some Bartow County residents did just last week—would be a terrifying experience. So, it's hard to believe that when some people encounter that situation, they're still able to grab a camera and capture it on video. People in Bartow and Gordon counties started their week working to bounce back from last week's tornado. The EF-3 twister touched down at least twice, demolishing homes and businesses. Video of the twister is a terrifying sight for people who work just a mile from where it touched down. Joyce Keith works for an Adairsville insurance company. While the business owner next door shot video of the storm, she snapped a picture. Five days later, hundreds of volunteers are still cleaning up. Ironically, this week is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Georgia. That means there's an increased focus on making sure families have a plan for severe weather. Meanwhile on Monday, funeral services were held for 51-year-old Anthony Reins, who was killed when the tornado touched down in Adairsville.

The numbers are in and Liam and Sophia are the top baby names in Washington from 2012, according to the Department of Health, which tracks a variety of state vital statistics, including births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.
In 2012 there were 87,415 babies born in the state. The most popular day for births in 2012 was Friday, June 28 when there were 311 Washington babies born.
Area entrepreneurs believe it will be easier (and more profitable) to grow marijuana than to sell the weed.
In the first week of license applications to produce, process and sell marijuana under the terms of Initiative 502, most of the requests are to produce and process the plant. Only a small number of businesses have applied for a retail license.
The Washington State Auditor's Office did not find any problems in the recently completed accountability audit for the city of Deer Park.
The audit, which covered internal controls and audit procedures for 2012, looked at such areas as the city's financial condition, cash receipting, compliance with grant requirements and bidding and prevailing wage procurements.
Spokane Major Crimes detectives are excavating property on Walters Road in Elk, believed to be the gravesite of Ramona Childress, who went missing last November.
Detectives were directed to the site by a witness who told investigators last month that he helped Jason Flett bury her body on the property after Flett killed her.
Jason Flett, 27, who was Childress' boyfriend, was arrested on Nov. 13 and charged with second-degree murder. He is expected to make his first court appearance relating to the Childress killing on Nov. 15.
A Washington State Patrol trooper was injured in a two-car accident on U.S. Highway 395 at around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday near Larsen Beach Road near Loon Lake.
According to the WSP report, the trooper was southbound on the highway when he tried to make a U-turn to chase down a northbound vehicle. During his turn, he was rear-ended by another southbound car.
The trooper, whose name was not released, was transported to a Spokane hospital with neck pain. The driver of the other car was not hurt while his passenger was transported by hospital with unspecified injuries.
The grass roots state senate campaign waged by Ferry County Commissioner Brian Dansel still leads incumbent 7th District Sen. John Smith 13,369-11,698 after two days of voting.
Dansel, who was buried by Smith, in campaign fund-raising and spending, won in voting in only two of the five counties that make up the 7th District. In Stevens County, he holds a 4,183-3070 margin. He also won Ferry County 1,476-546.
Updated story
A police chase that started in Spokane Valley, traveled along U.S. Highway 395 near Deer Park and ended near the Wandermere Bridge with the arrest of two men.
Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies David Lawhorn and Lamont Petersen responded to a suspicious vehicle call at E6623 Trent Ave. Both deputies approached the suspicious vehicle on a dead-end road. When the driver of the vehicle saw the deputies, he accelerated towards Petersen's marked patrol vehicle at a high rate of speed with no lights on.
For the second time in a year, an inmate from the Airway Height Correctional Facility was killed while working with a Department of Natural Resources clean-up crew in Stevens County.
Daniel J. Hall, 47, was killed Thursday afternoon while helping clean up recently logged property, although details regarding the accident have not been released.
Last October, another inmate was killed in Stevens County when he was electrocuted while cutting down a tree near power lines.
The Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) will file the necessary CR103 for Initiative 502 later this week. Filing the CR103 is the formal procedure for adoption of the proposed rules for the implementation of I-502 and the final step in the rulemaking process.
These rules will serve as the basis for Washington's newly created recreational marijuana market and are the result of 10 months of research and public input. Thirty days after adoption the rules will become effective, November 16.
Spokane County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a burglary in the Elk area on Oct. 1 where more than $11,000 worth of property was stolen.
Deputy Michael Beckman responded to a residential burglary call near the 35000 block of Newport Hwy. The deputy spoke with the homeowner who told him he had recently inherited the house.
The homeowner said he had not been there in a couple weeks and when he came by on Tuesday he discovered that someone had broken into the detached garage and residence.

You'll no longer hear tales of the "fly in the ointment" during halftime of the SEC on CBS game of the week, as Tim Brando is leaving CBS.
The results of post-expansion negotiations on one front are in, and the league is netting no extra money from CBS. The only new thing form the extended deal is what we learned on May 2, that CBS's exclusivity window for the 3:30 pm ET time slot is no more. It makes sense when you think about it. CBS carries one game a week for all but the first two weeks, plus one doubleheader per year. Expanding the league doesn't matter much to a broadcaster that is only carrying one game per week. Plus with CBS paying around $4 million per game, it's hard to justify upping the rights fee based on merely putting more teams in the league when they don't have higher profiles than the existing premium teams.
A national Fox Sports network can compete with ESPN, but the way Fox is run, it's not likely to do so.
The SEC was far and away the most watched conference in 2011, and both Alabama-LSU games drew more than 20 million viewers.
CBS and ESPN announced a few game times today. The only major WTF is that the Penn State-Alabama game (ESPN) and Oregon-Tennessee game (ESPN2) are on at the same time. Whose idea was that?

A Florida man complained about being targeted for Republican fundraising emails after mistakenly donating money against a Democratic congressional candidate thanks to a website he says is misleading.
The Tampa Bay Times reported on Monday that Ray Bellamy intended to contribute to former state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink's campaign online. Instead, he went to "sinkforcongress2014," part of a group of Republican-controlled websites designed to resemble pages boosting Democratic candidates.
"After sending what I thought was a contribution of 250 dollars to Sink, I get a page clearly thanking me for attempting to defeat Democrats, [President Barack] Obama, and [House Minority Leader Nancy] Pelosi," Bellamy told the Times, adding that the page contained a picture of Rep. Greg Walden (R-OH), who leads the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), leading him to call the NRCC and ask for his money back.
"The receptionist Kate, who would not give her last name, and would not transfer me to the Finance Dept., said the NRCC let credit card companies handle such requests," Bellamy was quoted as saying. "She would not refund my money. My credit card company is mailing me papers to register a complaint or challenge the charge."
NBC News reported that Bellamy was later given a refund. NRCC spokesperson Andrea Bozek told NBC that her organization would also offer refunds to any donor who feels they were misled. At the same time, however, she rejected the idea that their websites — which feature candidates in several other states besides Florida — were meant to trick anyone.
"Democrats are clearly pitching stories on these effective websites because they are worried about voters learning the truth about their candidates' disastrous records," Bozek was quoted as saying. "Anyone who reads the website understand these are negative attacks. Also as required our disclaimer is at the bottom."
Similarly, Democrats have opened a site arguing against Sink's opponent, David Jolly, bearing the name "Jolly4Congress," while openly stating its opposition with the statement, "A Washington lobbyist won't fix Congress."
Republicans in California were criticized last year for promoting a website they billed as a "resource guide" regarding the Affordable Care Act but was in fact devoted to opposing the state healthcare exchange.

Ever since the Hindutva right-wing, led by the top leadership of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), demolished the Babri mosque in Ayodhya on Dec.,6,1992 in brazen defiance of the Constitution and the rule of Law, the question has been asked whether, after all, the BJP can be regarded a legitimate participant in India's parliamentary democracy.
A litany of subsequent pogroms since then have, if anything, lent force and urgency to that poser.
These have included violent vigilante attacks on artists, art products, films, text books, institutions, minority religious establishments, and the unforgettable carnage of muslims in Gujarat in 2002.
That this party has no more than a scant and expedient relationship with parliament is borne out again by the fact that eversince the defeat of the BJP-led NDA coalition in 2004, the BJP has done one of two things as the leading opposition in the house of the people—either disrupt or boycott its proceedings.
And if it has raised its voice there, nothing has been farther from its intentions than to underscore issues that touch the vast pauperized mass of Indians.
These circumstances have yielded a rather unique consequence—that of obliging the Left parties which support the UPA government from the outside to function in crucial ways as the most credible opposition within the House.
The overarching fact that it is within the Left that the chief antagonist of the BJP resides has thus tended to be sharply emphasized.
The axes of that antagonism become apparent if one were to encapsulate the major planks of the right-wing BJP agenda for the nation:
–Majoritarian hegemony;
–Hinduisation of culture in toto;
–Minority bashing;
–Privatisation of national wealth;
–Militarisation of the state;
–"strategic partnership" with neo-imperialism of which Zionism is seen as crucial part;
to name just the principle coordinates.
Of these, the "centrist" Congress—or, at any rate, those within it who for now run the government– supports fully the last three. As to the first three, the attitude of the Congress has been riven with ambivalence, often upright in public pronouncements but fatally prevaricating on the ground.
The Left it is that has, much carping notwithstanding, stood firmly against the aforesaid agenda, however effectually or not.
It is not a surprise, therefore, that the Hindu right-wing has been venting its fascist ire against the Left.
The culminating event in that project has been the naked, broad daylight attack on the central office of the CPI(M) in the heart of the Capital city.
Led and organized by some of the top leaders of the Delhi BJP, trucks carrying stones and other missiles were to arrive at the party office, and within a jiffy not only was glass from windows and cars flying all over the place, but five members of the CPI(M) Central Committee which was in session inside were to receive bloody injuries. Incidentally, some of the trucks belonged to the local municipality which is controlled by the BJP whose mayor was among the attackers.
Those that remember may recall the Battle of Cable Street (London,1936) that involved the communists and Mosley's supporters; or indeed the street fights of Berlin prior to Hitler's coming to power.
Nor have they been thwarted by the public and media outcry; more such attacks continue to take place in other cities (Dehradun being one such).
This fascist attack on the office of one of India's recognized National Parties must then be seen as veritably an attack on the Democratic system per se, since it is a system which grounds itself in the concept of democratic political organizations.
The BJP needs to answer why this attack may be regarded any differently from the attack on the Indian parliament during the regime that it led.
These vignettes from contemporary Indian history ought to help remind us that, far from being one and the same as centrist elites never tire of propagating, fascists and communists have been mortal enemies from the first.
Let it be recalled that Italian fascism (from whence the RSS in India imbibed all its major ideological predilections as Mussolini met Munje, and Munje passed on to Hedgewar) was infact forged as a countering response to the forces unleashed by the October Revolution of 1917.
Such are the facts that have come down to us from the horse's mouth, as it were.
Here are some snippets from an article that Giovanni Gentile wrote and Mussolini signed in Encyclopaedia Italiana (1923):
–fascism is a "rightist movement to attack the organizations of the working class, parties of the Left and Trade Unions";
–that fascism must seek to "partner with big business leaders" and "seek to unite Labour and Capital, to the Labour's ultimate detriment";
–that Unions be replaced by Guilds "which were heavily weighted in favour of the corporation and the owners";
–that "fascism negates the doctrine of scientific Marxian socialism and historical materialism";
–that a Corporative organization would eliminate "the clash of economic interests" and thereby neutralize "the germ of class warfare";
–that "fascism is the complete opposite of Marxian socialism";
–that "fascism now and always believes in holiness and heroism; that is to say in actions uninfluenced by economic motive, direct or indirect";
–that, "above all, fascism denies that class war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society";
Hardly a surprise then that Marxists and Trade Unionists were the first targets of attack of both Mussolini and Hitler once they came to power.
How closely majoritarian religious organization has from the first favoured the fascists both in their social emphases and in their idea of the totalitarian state is suggested by the stipulations of the Encyclical, Rerum Novarum, that was issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1892.
The Encyclical criticized the socialist conception of class struggle and the elimination of private property.
It urged solidarity between upper and lower classes.
It endorsed nationalism as a way of preserving traditional morality, customs, folkways.
It proposed Corporatism—a term that came to encapsulate the whole ideological/class package of fascist organization.
Any surprise then that a treaty could be signed between the State and the Holy See (The Lateran Treaty) in 1929 whereby the Papacy was granted temporal sovereignty over Vatican city, Catholicism was recognized as sole state religion, in return for acceptance of Italian sovereignty over the Pope's former dominions.
The first anti-semitic laws were passed in 1938.
How uncanny the resemblance of all that to the phenomenon we now call Hindutva.
It must be added that similar trends have sought to surface and take hold among the muslims lately, as the Salafi/Wahabi sects have taken to propagating against those strains in sub-continental Islam which have always upheld secular and syncretic community and the role of Sufis, saints and other intercessors between god and man. The attack on the shrine at Ajmer Sharief and Chrar-e-Sharief, to name but two instances, fall into this pattern. As does the Hindu right-wing- like animus of the Islamists to socialist ideas.
Which is not to say that healthy democratic initiatives from within conservative and dogmatic Islamic organizations are not in the offing. The fatwa recently issued on these matters by no less than the Darul Uloom of Deoband is a major positive event—one that deserves to be followed up more generally, if a further assimilation of the muslim polity into democratic and progressive India is to happen more rapidly. Even as the communalist opposition of the Hindu right-wing to state-driven programmes aimed at aiding the muslim community in a far-reaching way in education and employment must be defeated at all cost.
To return to where we began: as the electoral prospects of the right-wing recede further (the frustration of the RSS in Kannur in Kerala has after all had everything to do with their inability to succeed at the hustings there), more fascist mayhem and disruption of constitutional and democratic life and governance ought to be anticipated.
Given that context, the Congress will need to rethink the axes of its equation with the BJP and the Left. On one side is a class base and class interest that makes it see in the BJP something of a kin. On the other, the Congress will want to evaluate without blinkers the role of the Left in preserving the nation-state itself –somewhat in the tradition which its own past has bequeathed to India.
Immediately of course, till so long as it runs the government, the Indian police and other state-apparatus will deserve to be given some very unambiguous directions as to how to deal with fascist and vigilante violence on the bedrock institutions of democracy, among which must also be counted secularism and the freedom of expression. Indeed heartening that the honorable supreme court has only the other day pronounced at unusual length on the alarming negative trends in these areas, and advised that such attacks on freedom must be put down with "an iron hand." The Congress must know that its credibility has been the most damaged precisely in that area.

Coaches at a high school in Utah suspended the entire football team this week- both varsity and junior varsity - right before the big homecoming game.
There were several reasons including poor grades and accusations some players engaged in cyberbullying. But their season isn't over. They're being given the option to play again under some specific terms outlined in a letter signed by the entire coaching staff. It calls for the election of new team captains, two days of community service, a character education class and a study hall.
"We're still practicing, but we're practicing some different skills," said Matt Labrum, Head Coach. "I think it's going to bring our team closer and I think we're going to be more accountable, not only for ourselves, but for our buddy next to us."
As for the school district, administrators say they've had nothing but support from parents.

The police dash camera videos are shocking. They often show extremely dangerous situations police officers must be prepared to handle. Those real-life situations are extremely similar to state mandated training scenarios every Arizona officer must complete.
"It's basically just a judgmental shoot. It's not just about shooting, but about using different uses of force and training officers in verbal communications," explained Surprise Police Officer Tim Schmit, an instructor for the department's MILO (Military Integrated Laser Operation) system.
"It's going to be very similar to what you'll see calls for service out on the street," he continued.
The MILO system recreates more than 500 realistic situations officers may face, from car pullovers, domestic violence calls, even hostage situations.
"It's going to be very similar to what you'll see calls for service out on the street. They're going to be cussing. They're going to be screaming. They're going to be waving their hands. They're going to be doing different things that the officer is going to react to," explained Schmit.
Thursday, Surprise police allowed CBS 5 to sit in on the training. Officer Craig Scartozzi went through many different scenarios. In some, the situation called for deadly force. In others, he was able to talk the suspect out of a dangerous situation.
"You need to get out of your vehicle. Do it now!" he yelled at one suspect.
All the while, Schmit closely watches the officer and can alter the outcome of the situation based of the officer's commands and actions. If a Tazer or handgun is discharged, the system can determine where and if the suspect was hit.
"From the system on my end, I can branch off on several different outcomes. If I want it to be a comply situation, I can have the screen or the suspect comply with the officer. It can turn into a less lethal situation," said Schmit.
Surprise police say the most important benefit to this training is that it is entirely self-contained. If a mistake is made, no one is hurt.
"We have to react within a split-second on whether to use deadly force or not to use deadly force. This sharpens our skills and hones them," said Schmit.

JUNIOR POWDERPUFF FOOTBALL CASE WESTERN by ppf - almost 3 years ago
"Ordered several shirts (60+) for an annual Junior/ Senior Powderpuff Game at Case Western Reserve University which is sponsored by the Class Officer Collective. This picture is taken of the Junior Powderpuff Team which proved to be victorious winning 12-0 against the Senior team. Working with Customink on this order was amazingly easy. I called two more times after the initial order to get more and everyone I called made the process very easy and really wanted me to have the best experience. Also, I had one woman who was very patient with me while I was on the phone. Of all places, I happened to be at a Cleveland Indian's game and it was very hard to hear on both of our ends, but none the less she did not give up on me. I was surprised by how knowledgeable, patient, and friendly the customer service associates were. I will definitely be ordering through Customink again!"

Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer says four police officers have been fired following allegations that excessive force was used during arrests last month.
Schmaderer says three more officers have been put on leave and another has been reassigned. Their names haven't been released.
The March 21 incident was secretly recorded by a neighbor. The officers were responding to an on-going parking complaint in the north Omaha neighborhood.
Schmaderer ordered an internal investigation a day after the video turned up online. It showed an officer grabbing 28-year-old Octavius Johnson from behind, violently throwing him to the ground and punching him while he was restrained.
"I knew a fair and thorough investigation needed to take place and I also knew there would be some that would rush to judgment," Schmaderer said.
"I also knew, regardless of my findings, public trust has been damaged and I need to take steps to restore that public trust."
Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle also commented on the investigation.
"When we have an incident where some officers are stepping outside of the boundaries of the law or outside the boundaries of our procedures, we take it seriously and we're going to move forcefully to take the actions," Suttle said.
The internal police investigation will be reviewed by the FBI.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Dozer Park, the recently renamed Peoria Chiefs baseball stadium, got a new addition Wednesday.
Crews brought in a Caterpillar D6 tractor, which will remain on display on the concourse behind first base for the rest of the season.
The dozer is donated by a member of the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club.
Rocky Vonachen, the Peoria Chiefs President, says a different piece of Cat equipment will be on display each year.
"I think having the equipment here and seeing the logo of the ballpark, it starts tying everything together," said Vonachen. "You know, we've got a little bit of yellow and black around the ballpark. So, it's tying it all together, and I think once fans get down here, they'll understand it."
Thursday, crews plan to bring in another bulldozer to display behind third base, just in time for this Friday's renaming ceremony.

Memphis Mayor A C Wharton says he applauds the president's efforts in gun control, but adds that we cannot wait on Washington or even the state capitol to end gun violence, especially in Memphis youth. He says the effort starts in our home front.
"Now's the time to say 'Enough.' So just take on your individual causes and say 'This is what I'll do. I can't change the world but I can change my house, I can change my family, my street,' says Wharton.
Churches are the heartbeat of our communities, which is Wharton says is preaching his message about the "Memphis Gun Down" initiative.
"We're going to make sure the church is empowered, backed up, everything; they're going to have the resources, but we need them to reach the people. They're touching folks in there right now," says Wharton.
As a part of Memphis Gun Down, Wharton is calling on churches to share a list of church activities with everyone, especially youth, as an alternative to guns and gangs. He's also asking them to have prayer walks and services in areas after violence.
"Spread from your individual prayers to the group prayers of churches and then go outside the church into the neighborhood into the community. Tell all the churches about what you're doing," says Wharton.
Learn more about the Memphis Gun Down program by visiting their website. Also get connected with Memphis Gun Down on their Facebook page and Twitter handle.
