For more than 300 families in Portland, there are no answers, there is no justice. These are the families and loved ones of unsolved murder victims.
And now, FOX 12 is teaming up with the Portland Police Bureau's Cold Case Homicide Unit to help solve these cases for FOX 12's Most Wanted Cold Case Unit.
Each Thursday, on the 10 O'clock News, FOX 12 will profile a Portland unsolved homicide.
Our cameras have been granted unprecedented access to the Cold Case Homicide Unit detectives and to the evidence from these cases. We also speak with victims' loved ones as they continue to wait for answers.
The Portland Police Bureau's Cold Case Homicide Unit is a team of detectives, both sworn and retired, that are dedicated to solving these challenging cases.
"We want all those victims' families to know their case matters. We're not just gonna throw it up on a shelf and not do anything with it," said Sgt. Paul Weatheroy, who supervises the Cold Case Homicide Unit. "We want those suspects to know, we never give up, they need to look over their shoulder to know when we're coming."
Weatheroy has been with the Portland Police Bureau for 25 years, the last seven years with the Cold Case Homicide Unit. He said it's a rewarding assignment, in which detectives develop strong bonds with the victims' families.
"Some of these older cases, from the 60s, 70s, 80s, they've been carrying that pain for all that time, " Weatheroy said.
In addition to the unit's three sworn full-time investigators, a joint grant from the National Institute of Justice and the Department of Defense pays six retired detectives to work part-time reviewing cold cases.
"I missed the hunt or the chase and the ability to come up and be with peers," said retired detective Dennis Baker, who now works part-time reviewing cases.
Sworn detective Jim Lawrence says working cold case is the most rewarding assignment he's had as a police officer.
"I'll look at what the original investigators did and what we have left," said Lawrence. "In 99 percent of our cases, they were on the right track. In most of our cases, the original investigating detectives identified the suspect, but couldn't collect the evidence at the time that would convict them beyond a reasonable doubt."
Since Weatheroy took the reins, he's been aggressive about community outreach. The unit has employed some unusual tactics, like distributing playing cards with unsolved cases in Oregon prisons and plastering TriMet buses with murder victims' photos.
"I got a letter in relation to the playing cards who's in custody who says he has information about a homicide, three homicides and he wants to come and talk to me, " Weatheroy said.
Detective Jeanne Stevenson has been with the unit for five years. She said technology has made a huge difference in how these cases are investigated, but for her, they can become personal.
"You get close to the families," Stevenson said. "You really have to put your heart and soul in these cases."
Next Thursday on the 10 O'Clock News, we'll revisit the 2001 unsolved murder of Joshua Jeffries, an 11-year-old boy who was shot to death in his own bed. You'll hear from detectives on why they think this case went cold and from the boy's aunt, 10 years after the murder.
FOX 12'S Most Wanted Cold Case Unit. Every Thursday on the 10 O'Clock News.

The manager said it started in the morning with a woman in her mid-60s paying for the order of the person behind her.

depends on how much money he saved .if spent it all then he better fight for whoever is willing to pay him .if he did manage to save some dough then he should retire save himself some pain and dissapointment . he just plain lacks the skills or the athleticism to compete at a high level even his standup which is his strong point is severley lacking. meathead a guy with just two pro fights walked right through the hardest punches kimbo could deliver and made him look a complete amateur.
Joey SantosusSharp3Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Whatever he decides to do he has the star-power to eat beyond the UFC. Whether he earns his living fighting or elsewhere he will be ok.
51JD51Sharp1Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Realistically his best option is probably boxing but if he wants to keep going with mma he needs to go into some smaller local promotions and fight at 205 for a year or two and then see where his career is at.
I say he should stay in MMA but I agree about Kimbo dropping to 205, but with all that muscle, it would take quite a long time for him to do that.
That is his decision and we will have to wait and see.
It would be a long time and a huge pain in the ass for him to lose enough muscle to fight at 205. The guy is solid as a rock. It would however be the best thing he could do for himself. Even if he stops fighting MMA, it would take a lot of pressure off of his knees and his heart. If

Breast Cancer & Raw Food
This powerful article on breast cancer comes to us from Arnold of Arnold's Way. Arnold was extremly instrumental in my raw-food education. I am forever in his debt.
Arnold on Breast Cancer - February 10, 2002
The disease discussed in this week's newsletter should be obviously easy to prevent and obviously easy to treat. If we only knew. These words haunt me. From what I see, what I hear, and what I read, breast cancer is the disease that affects women the most. It is the disease that causes 46,000 deaths per year. There are 190,000 new cases reported and 15 million women will seek medical care this year because of concerns about breast cancer. These are scary statistics on a disease that in my opinion is easily treated and should never happen in the first place. Where does one start when writing about these figures? Do we start with the numbers, the people, or the possibilities for no disease at all?
I walk the streets, I see all these beautiful women. I see the pretty faces, the wild hair dos, the business suits, the make up, the daily lines of those waiting for their morning coffee, bagel, and cream cheese. I watch in horror as the modern day woman starts on her morning routine.
Do I scream a word of warning? I think of the book Raw Food Treatment of Cancer by Kristine Nolfi, M.D., which deals with a personal battle against breast cancer. It talks about how she became seriously ill and how she fought back not with medicine, radiation, or chemotherapy, but with food. Raw food and that's it. She was a physician whose years of training did not train her for sickness. I read her book.
I think of the statistics of women with breast cancer. I read Clinical Evidence, the international source regarding the best available evidence for effective health care. "Mestatic breast cancer is the presence of disease at a distant site such as the bone, liver, or lungs. It is not treatable by primary surgery and is currently considered incurable." In 1995 Dr. Nolfi's book was written. We look at her book; we study her background. She was a doctor with 12 years of medical training, and the point she wants to drive home is that breast cancer disappears on a raw food diet.
It is on that basis that we carefully choose this week's topic, begin our research, look for other case studies, and pass the word that will stop the tremendous seas of not only acceptance but of relishing the toxic waste that passes as real food today.
As I begin my research there are two facts that really bother me. In God's Way to Ultimate Health Dr. George H. Malkamus states that one in twenty American women were affected by breast cancer in 1960. In 1992, the figure had risen to one in eight. According to one statistic, the figure reached one in three in 1999. What does all this mean? I dare not know for anyone but myself. For I have a wife, a mother, three daughters, friends, and acquaintances who are all female. I am the passion that will set these women free with information and love shared.
If we study the words of Neal Barnard, M.D., "Researchers have found that fat in the diet especially animal fat increases the risk of breast cancer." If we continue our research we see that in God's Way states that "the average American meat eater consumes over 50 lbs of fat a year, which translates to the average American woman having 40% of her daily dietary intake being fat." This is the fat that winds up in all the wrong places and strikes fear in the average American woman during the summer time. However, that's another story for another time. This fat is ugly, hard for the body to deal with, causes all types of physical problems, and is almost impossible to get rid of once consumed. According to Doug Graham, D.C. in Nutrition and Athletic Performance, "The body has to reach a temperature of 300 degrees in order to break the chemical bonds that form during the heating process." Dr. George Malkamus teaches that the daily intake should be approximately 5% of our total caloric intake.
So we study these figures with the actual reality of 40% of our diets consisting of fat. We walk the aisles of the supermarket and we see the shopping carts loaded to the brim with so-called food. We see the potato chips, cookies, lunchmeat, red meat, white meat, fish, and soda. We step back, look at the people pushing the carts, study their children, and become aware of the statistics that 15 million women will go to their doctor due to concerns about breast cancer. According to the Merck Manual 17th Edition, the race is on. What do statistics mean to a woman who requires a radical mastectomy? What words of comfort can a doctor give? What solace can her family bring? The woman literally has become a victim of something that was never supposed to happen.
According to Dr. Neal Barnard, "Affluent women who eat meat daily have 8.5 times higher risk of breast cancer compared to poorer women who rarely or never eat meat." These are not made up numbers but rather hard-core facts. According to the surgeon general's report on nutrition and health, "The death rates for cancer of the breast, colon, and prostate are directly proportional to estimated dietary fat intake." This information should be yelled, screamed, and blasted over every mass publication possible you would think, especially since breast cancer is rampant. Unfortunately, as stated in The Food Revolution by John Robbins, "Prevention and profits don't mix." There is no money to be made by telling women to cut down their fat intake to 5% since that would mean women would be eating a diet mostly of fruit, vegetables, and grain. What are the implications?
The Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the vanguard of publishing all information that is pertinent regarding breast cancer, was began in 1987 and is continually sponsored by Imperial Chemical Industry. Believe it or not, they have approval rights for all materials that are used. According to Neal Barnard, "Imperial Chemical Industry has consistently decided not to include information that might prevent breast cancer." Let's take this one step further. If they won't allow dietary changes as a preventable measure, what do they allow? How about Tamoxifen? Coincidentally it is sold by Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, a spin off from Imperial Chemical Industry.
To add further coincidence to this amazing coincidence, the National Cancer Institute clearly states, according to the Food Revolution, "Tamoxifen has cut the occurrence of new breast cancer by 45%." These numbers sounds impressive so much so that the FDA said, "Potentially, tens of millions of women could be candidates for Tamoxifen treatment." Now we are beginning to see the dollar signs for Tamoxifen. The drug costs $1,000 a year. Multiply that by tens of millions of women, and the sales would reach tens of billions for Zeneca, for Imperial Chemical Industry as will as guarantying a sponsor for Breast Cancer awareness month which would make every woman aware of Tamoxifen.
There is only one little flaw in this cozy mix of politics and drug recommendations. According to The Food Revolution, "Tamoxifen may not deserve such acclaim." If the truth were to be based on statistical data, then according to recent data, "for every 1000 women who take the drug for 5 years, 17 breast cancers were avoided." Not bad, but not great, especially since the breast cancer was in lieu of 12 endometrial cancers, 10 potentially fatal blood clots, increases in strokes, and eye cataracts.
What does all this mean to the average consumer? NOT TOO MUCH! Zeneca Pharmaceuticals is pushing for early prevention. Besides Tamoxifen, they also recommend mammograms. They supposedly say, "Early detection is your best prevention." It's a woman's first line of defense. Once again, this all seems very logical, but it's all very wrong. Unfortunately, the words very wrong have not seeped into the medical standard practice. As of today, the standard early detection as noted and promoted by Breast Cancer Awareness is a mammogram at a doctor's office or hospital. If a tumor or indurations are noted then Tamoxifen is given. It is all very neat and in my opinion all very wrong. Besides the negative effects of Tamoxifen, which according to Food Revolution is "an off kind of prevention that calls for treating people year after year with toxic drugs," the use of mammograms is also questionable. According to Healthy Immunity, "After reviewing eight studies on mammography, Danish researchers concluded that there is no reliable evidence that mammography decreases breast cancer mortality." That statement as vague as it is still misleading. From what I, Arnold, have heard, according to Dr. George Malkamus, mammograms are not only ineffective but they are harmful to the body. I research further on the supposed benefits of mammograms. Health Action Network (888-432-4267) has collected information "on the adverse effects of mammograms used for the last several years. In 1999, a Swedish study showed no decrease in breast cancer even though mammography has been recommended since 1985." The University of Toronto study indicated that mammograms have no benefit to women between the ages of 50-59. Another article I found on mammograms, the question the author wondered if screening for breast cancer with mammography was justifiable.
So we hold these statements in a semi-mobile status. We are not quite sure whom to believe. If we once again review Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which again was founded in 1987 by Imperial Chemical Industries, we see that their trademark slogan is "Early detection is your body's best prevention. If I were an uninformed woman who did not have any health education, who believed in the media, the press, and most public statements, my initial reaction would be that the statement by Breast Cancer Awareness clearly indicates that mammograms are the way for early prevention.
I walk the streets, listen to the many women who are afraid, the many women who have fibroid tissues, and their willingness without hesitation is to do just what their doctor orders. HELLO! American women, wake up! Prevention and profit don't mix. Breast cancer is on the rise. To add another twist to an already tragic situation, the tumor that the medical field has already established as a foreign growth in a woman's body can actually be considered the body's intelligent defense mechanism against all the intake of toxic material that the average woman is consuming. The body's intelligence is always working for our highest good from the date of conception to the day of death. Indurations or tumors as stated by T.C. Fry are "an increase in the fibrous elements known as scarring and encapsulation. This process engulfs the toxic material from the rest of the body in a gel like hardened sac." According to most hygienic practitioners such as T.C. Fry, Dr. Herbert M. Shelton, and Dr. J.H. Tilden, "This is the last intelligent thing the body does in the stages of disease." If I understand this statement it means that tumors are a sign of the body's intelligence and that because of our continual intake of toxic material the body creates a gelatinous mass not only to enclose the old toxin but to enclose any new toxic material which we intake. Excellent! Women should be overjoyed at such an occurrence. The medical field should be ecstatic, honored, and overjoyed that such a wondrous thing can be created for our benefit. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I'm in my seventh day of writing and researching, and I'm pulling my hair. I'm screeching and screaming. I feel anxious, happy, sad, and glad. All these emotions are flying within my every breath. Although I am not a woman, this week I am living the fear, reading about deaths of young women, old women, married women. Horror stories are followed by tragedy. Is there an end in sight?
Loren Lockman, director of the Tanglewood Wellness Center, relates the story of Barbara (not her real name) who at the age of 40 was diagnosed with breast cancer. She knew not of Kristine Nolfi, M.D. who beat breast cancer with raw food. She knew not of Lorraine Day, MD who also beat breast cancer with raw food. She did not read the stories of Eydie Mae who wrote How I Conquered Cancer Naturally. Instead she trusted her doctors. Whatever they said she did. In my opinion, everything that happened to her could have been completely avoided if only she checked out other possibilities rather than depend so much on her primary doctor. They too can become blinded by what is truth and what is lie. Needless to say, what happened, happened. Barbara was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went the traditional route of medical treatment. She underwent 14 months of chemotherapy as well as a radical mastectomy (i.e., removal of her breast, lymph nodes). All these procedures were done under the guise of prevention and stopping the cancer growth. If this would have squashed the cancer growth then Barbara could have somehow justified these procedures. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with a tumor on her other breast. Luckily for Barbara she studied, she educated herself, she sought relief, and she learned to become a warrior rather than a victim. She learned about raw food, she learned about fasting. She learned about her body's wisdom. What is truth, what is false? Barbara decided to go on a 40-day water fast at Tanglewood Wellness Center. She allowed her body to heal itself without drugs, without chemotherapy, and even without food (see fasting article). Barbara's body with her internal forces not being used up by the digestive process instead directed its energy to eat up the toxic material that was in her body. Sounds wild. Sounds easy. Sounds too hard to believe, but in 40 days Barbara had last 40 pounds, lost her bitterness about her breast removal, and best of all lost her tumor.
So we rejoice in this story. We share Barbara's story.
Why breast cancer, and what are the options? These questions have been 40 years in the making. There is a whole infrastructure of research, hospitals, doctors, schools, medical books, pharmaceuticals, and words of gibberish that have created this insistence for continual confusion.
It is on this understanding of not understanding that a simple guy like
myself, with no financial backing, no schooling, no team of financial
resources, and believe it or not, not even a desk, who has discovered
what so many have known but don't realize they know. Breast cancer is
not only preventable, but it doesn't even have to exist and only then
in rare circumstances. So I thank myself (the researcher), my wife (my
financial stability who makes my newsletter writing possible, my nights
all seven of them, my hours of total work, and Toby (my editor who
takes this printed gooblegash, edits, types, and transforms this into
something readable, holding all that I have written as close to the
truth as possible). I urge, I demand, I beg, I plea to all readers
both men and women, to pass this copy to as many people as possible
through email, newspapers, schools hospitals, whatever means possible.
There are 15 million women who want to know the Breast Cancer Answer.
I thank you for your time,

"Labor priests" were a recognized presence in the labor movement of the 1920s through the 1960s. Father Barry, the Karl Malden character in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront," was the model of the priest who sided with workers.
Priests conducted Parish Labor Schools where workers interested in collective bargaining studied Catholic social justice doctrine, labor law, and parliamentary procedure.
Mark Pocan has spent the last 13 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly representing one of the strongest progressive districts in the state. Yet his political roots took hold in blue-collar Kenosha, Wisconsin where he got his start at age eight delivering campaign literature door-to-door for his father, a long-time city alderman.
Pocan learned about ALEC in the only way he could — he joined — making him one of its few Democratic members. Once inside he saw firsthand how it operates and then, much to the organization's displeasure, he let us in on its goals and strategies.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Wisconsin state Rep. Mark Pocan has been to several Democratic Party national conventions, but none as important for him as this one. Pocan is poised to succeed U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who is giving up her seat to run for the Senate. Although he faces Republican challenger Chad Lee in the fall election, an upset is highly unlikely -- Lee is vastly underfunded in the overwhelmingly liberal district.
State Rep. Mark Pocan has, since his election to the state Legislature in 1998, been a leader in the fight to educate and engage citizens with the struggle over the failed "free trade" consensus. While trade agreements are negotiated -- usually in secret -- by presidential administrations and voted on by Congress, there are highly significant consequences for states.

A Swanton family has a lot of questions about the shooting death of their dog. They live on Sherman White Road which is just off State Route 64. It's not clear who shot the dog. All the family can say for sure right now is that their dog Roxy was shot twice and they want to know who is responsible for what they call a senseless act.
Sharon Weaver is Roxy's owner. She just moved back to the area several months ago, "I am beside myself, she was a wonderful family dog that was killed senselessly and I don't understand why."
Sharon rescued Roxy from a shelter 8 years ago,"She was just a good dog who loved everyone. I have another dog and she doesn't know what to do without Roxy. She's been crying and whining because she doesn't know where Roxy is."
Thursday morning Sharon heard gunshots. Seconds later Roxy came running up to her bleeding profusely. They rushed her to a vet who said Roxy was likely hit by a high powered rifle at fairly close range. Kelly Farris is Sharon's sister,"Her stomach was ruptured and so was her spleen and her liver was nicked by a bullet. She made it through the surgery and then about an hour or so later she died."
Kelly and Sharon believe Roxy wandered off their property and was shot, "Roxy was not a danger to anyone she was not a vicious dog she liked other animals and she liked to play."
Kelly thinks Roxy was shot by a neighbor, "We've gone over the situation with my sister Sharon several times and it is the only conclusion we can come to."
They filed a report with the Lucas county sheriff's office, "For Roxy and my sister I would like to see the people who did this held accountable for what they did." We called the Lucas County Sheriff's office, but have not yet heard back. We also spoke with one of the family's neighbors who says she does not know anything about the dog's death

The description of the Christmas season appears in "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon," a collection of stories and essays by Washington Irving published as a collection in 1820.
The book included five stories about English Christmas traditions that had fallen out of favor in Britain but that were revived in America by Irving's writings. Charles Dickens even credited Irving as an influence on his own views of Christmas, as reflected in "A Christmas Carol."

I am listening to Macha's pre-game interview. He mentioned that Crosby jammed his ankle in that hard slide into home plate. At this moment the starting lineup today has not been announced, and Macha implied that he's not sure about Crosby.
That sounds like A's-speak for a possible injury. Hope it's not too serious.
Good eye, Philly A's fan. You spotted it at the game yesterday and alerted us all.

Francis Richard began his military career in the U.S. Marines during World War II. He remembers boarding a crowded Merchant Marine ship for a 27-day cruise from San Diego to New Caledonia.
"We had two meals a day," recalled Richard. "One before daylight in the morning. And one after dark at night. Both of them together wouldn't be enough for one meal."
As his unit headed toward the action in the Pacific Theater, Richard said their final destination was kept secret.
"We didn't know where we were going. They didn't call that island Guadalcanal. Because we didn't want the Japanese to know we're going there. The code for Guadalcanal was Cactus," he said.
Once they arrived at Guadalcanal, Richard said they were attacked by six Japanese bombers.
"About the time they were straight overhead, we heard the God awful noise and we knew something was happening. Somehow, we found a trench and we dove in that thing and bombs began to fall," he said.
The 33-year Marine veteran loves to share stories of the war with his grandson, when he visits from Texas.

Casio GIEZ Ti-Rubber GS-300 Caliber 2301, ca. 2003
The rubber is still holding up after 10 years (November
To be honest, I expect this rubber band to deteriorate in the not too far future. For me, that is the biggest complaint with G-Shocks. Most of them have bands that are made for just that one model with specific lugs. Will Casio have replacement bands 10 years after the watch was released? I don't think so. Also, if the band is gone, you can basically toss that watch. Or use it as a mini wall clock or stick it somewhere on your boat or motorbike. Because the bands are often integral parts of the G-Shock cool factor, probably only very few will try to wear the watch with eg. a NATO or another replacement band.
Also G-Shocks often use rubber or resin on the watch head. That also limits the life span of the watch. See this example for a warning. This is one reason why I try to stay away from too expensive G-Shocks. With the "Twisted Metal" collection announced in October 2013, Casio has finally created some - albeit expensive- all metal G-Shocks that should hold up much better than the composite G-Shocks from the past

While Stephen Schwartz's Wicked is proving to be the biggest hit of the current Broadway season, his Children of Eden is wowing audiences in Washington D.C. Like Wicked, this musical retelling of the Book of Genesis is also populated with familiar characters: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, and Noah and his seafaring brood.
Although this lesser-known show has yet to see the lights of Broadway, it has been very popular across the country. The D.C. production is housed at the infamous Ford's Theatre until June 6th and is directed and choreographed by David H. Bell with costumes by Mariann Verheyen, lighting by Diane Ferry Williams, and scenic design by James Leonard Joy that all come together to create the very beginning of humankind.
Despite its historical significance, Ford's Theatre was a challenge for Williams, who found herself at odds with the theatre's structural limitations. "Getting sidelight and backlight was almost impossible because there was just no space for the equipment," she says. "There were only four electrics and once you loaded on four Vari*Lite® VL3000™s, there wasn't much room for anything else."
Williams solved the sidelight problem by incorporating Altman 360Qs and ETC Source Fours onto 6-foot booms that were part of Joy's fins on the sides of the stage. "The sidelight is only head high but it was the best we could get," she says. "I would've loved to have high sidelight to pick out the performers but it was not to be." She added that the President's Box is on the forestage and cannot be touched, and since the entire theatre is a museum as well, designers are not able to fall back on tricks of the trade like painting the interior black. She credits Joy's scenery with keeping the audience's eye pulled to the stage rather than the auditorium's historical "distractions."
She also used 30 Wybron Coloram II colorchangers to solve her backlight conundrum. "With only four electrics, the Colorams and the Vari-Lites became the workhorses of the plot because the tight space dictated what could and couldn't be done," she says.
While having to design the creation of man could be daunting, Williams relished the task and found herself relying on Bell's choreography for her inspiration. "The whole show had a very Cirque du Soleil feel to it and that was largely due to the use of these magnificent silks that the actors had," she explains. "As we staged the opening — 'The Creation' — we were basically staging the beginning of all life on the planet as we saw it, which involved the universe coming together with thousands of dots of light from the VL3000s."
The fixtures also proved integral to the Act I finale. "This is the scene where Eve dies," Williams explains. "And she is bathed in all white light — which is certainly not a new idea by any means — but the light grows and grows and you see the actors representing the next generation, and it is a very striking moment where we just make the VL3000's light bigger and bigger."
The concept for the entire show was more abstract than literal, Williams says. "We didn't want to do a Cecil B. DeMille biblical epic," she says. "The design team drew a lot of its inspiration from African and Aboriginal art and clothes. We pulled a lot from African concepts because the show needed to feel like it was not set in a time period that could be easily recognized. The show is about people rather than a time and has a lot of primitive overtones."
Despite the challenges of the venue, Williams calls it a lighting designer's dream. "This is one of those shows you could work on forever," she says. "It was a terrific collaboration, not only with the director and other designers, but also with the crew at Ford's. Even though the show was huge and hard, the collaboration made it very exciting. The designs came right from my heart and onto the stage."

XBMC v13.1 "Gotham" has been released! See Gotham FAQ for details.
HOW-TO:Help with quality assurance testing
|HOW-TO:Help with quality assurance testing
|This page or section may require cleanup, updating, spellchecking, reformatting and/or updated images. Please improve this page if you can. The discussion page may contain suggestions.
XBMC Media Center is a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) project, driven by the community of users, and you and anyone else who uses XBMC are more than welcome to help us make it better! There are many different ways that you and your friends can help by contributing to the XBMC project and Quality Assurance (QA) is one of them.
QA is regarded as an essential part of making XBMC into a better software and people helping with QA is in a sense just as important as developers to ensuring the continued success of the project. Taking a QA role is to help take ownership and responsibility of the bug reporting and tracking process, ensure that projects developers have as much time available for fixing things, and to ensure that users get prompt replies to their queries, and that things are fixed in a timely manner.
1 What a Quality Assurance Specialist expected to do
Those people that show an enthusiastic contribution to the project and the community on the forums might be a good candidate for the official XBMC QA Team (also known as the "Bug Hunter Squad") that is a part of Team-XBMC. Invitations are sent out to community members who stand out and show that they could be willing to take on the role as an official QA Specialist on Team-XBMC.
1.1 Specifically, the QA team is expected to
- Step in as soon as a problem is reported on the forums or on our trac tracking-system, and attempt to help the user fix the problem, or confirm whether the problem is a bug by reproducing it. Once confirmed, your role is to ensure it gets properly reported in trac, either by the original user or by doing it yourself.
- Ensure all relevant information has been reported on trac tickets, and that it is reproducible. You should close any reports in which the user doesn't respond with needed information in a timely manner. You should then ensure the bug gets assigned to the appropriate developer, and track its progress so that it doesn't slip through the cracks. The report is considered in your hands until it has been confirmed as fixed by either yourself or the original user. When the developer needs more information, the QA team makes sure they get it.
- Perform regression testing. You should have a media library of various formats to test against XBMC, (a media library which of course could be a shared team resource), that can be used to regression test.
- Testing new and changed features or functions in XBMC, and the main application for consistency. You should be willing to test things that you might not normally use (as well as things you will of course be using all the time) as they are developed to ensure that XBMC stays at the leading edge in terms of both features and stability.
If you where to get invited to become an official QA Specialist on Team-XBMC then the expectation is that it will require an hour or so a day in checking up on the forums and trac, (so approximate 7 hours a week), possibly with additional time taken to verify bugs, and identify ways to reproduce them. It will be important to also either know or be willing to learn how to compile your own builds of XBMC from SVN, for one or more platforms.
2 Eight Quick Steps to Triage Nirvana
The main job of Quality Assurance is to triage bugs to our trac tracking-system.
2.1 Triaging a bug involves
- Making sure the bug has not already been reported before
- Making sure the bug has enough information for the developers and makes sense
- Making sure the bug is filed in the correct place
- Making sure the bug has sensible "Severity" and "Priority" fields
- Making sure the bug is versioned correctly
2.1.1 First steps for newbies
- Register an account on XBMC Community Forum.
- Read the Stock Responses further down this article. These stock responses are general examples of the kinds of comments that triager's should add to bug reports. There are even a surprising number of bug reports for which you can simply use these responses.
- Pick a bug to triage. Any bug report will do. There are also some tips on finding bugs to triage. Once you have picked a bug report, read it carefully.
- Find what should be changed. Read the Steps of Triaging further down this article to determine what should be changed (if anything) and how.
- Ask someone to verify your changes.
- Make the changes. After someone verifies your changes (and likely refines them and/or points out other changes), either make those changes yourself or make sure that the reviewer makes them.
- Repeat steps 2-6.
3 Steps of Triaging
This guide should make triaging a bug as easy and simple as possible. Remember, if in doubt, ask! Also, remember that you may not be able to find anything to change for some bugs since not all bugs are filed incorrectly or incompletely.
3.1 Is it part of XBMC Media Center software from Team-XBMC?
Some pieces of add-ons (like third-party skins, plugins, scripts, and more) that users think of as part of the XBMC Media Center software from Team-XBMC have their bug tracking systems elsewhere. If the bug relates to one of these components, please close the bug with the resolution as "Not part of XBMC" and ask the reporter to report it to the correct tracking-system. Note that there is a stock response for this situation.
3.2 Does it make sense?
Does it have enough information? Common sense rules here - "this sucks" or "this crashed" should be be asked for more information polite message as change the resolution to "Need more information", as should other things that are too ambiguous to be useful. It is not appropriate for bug volunteers to mark a ticket as "'Will never be fixed/added", that is up to the maintainers. The exception is crasher bugs that have a XBMC debug log (and stack trace if Linux). See below for details; in general you should not change a bug to "Need more information" if it's got a good XBMC debug log (and stack trace if Linux). If you mark a bug "Need more information", "Invalid" or "Incomplete", it is useful to add yourself to the CC field; if the reporter adds more information, you can then reopen the bug and re-triage it. If a bug report has been set to "Need more information" state and if there has been no response for 4 weeks, feel free to close the report as "Incomplete" by using the "incomplete" stock response.
3.3 Is the bug report a duplicate?
Many bugs ported onto our tracking-system have been reported before, and finding them is more of an art than a science. If the bug is a duplicate, change it as a duplicate in the resolution box and use the "Duplicate" stock response for this situation. If the original report (i.e. not the one that you currently triage) is in "Need more information" state, please let the reporter know by asking him/her to answer the questions in the original, "Need more information" bug report. You don't need to carry on triaging it if it's a duplicate; press the Submit Changes button and go onto your next bug!
3.4 What platform and version of XBMC?
If the bug is in a version of XBMC prior to 8.10, ask the reporter to upgrade and close it as "Obsolete". There is a stock response for this situation. Otherwise, select the appropriate version that the bug appears in for the XBMC Version field.
- There are two exceptions. If fixing the bug requires breaking string or UI freeze, you can mark the bug with the version beyond the one that will be released next. If the bug is a feature request the you can change it to say so.
3.5 What severity/priority should be set?
Finding the correct severity and priority takes experience, and you will get a feel for it after triaging several bugs. Here are some guidelines for the most commonly reported bugs. You should read the severity and priority guidelines at least once.
Please note that only changing severity and/or priority slightly may do more fuss than good. It causes an extra email to the maintainers and consumes their precious time and attention. If other changes are done as well then there is only little additional impact when changing severity and/or priority.
- Crasher bugs
- Should have Severity=Critical, Priority=High
- Mark them "Need more information" if they don't have a XBMC debug log (or stack trace if Linux), and ask the reporter to get a XBMC debug log (and stack trace if Linux). Otherwise, do not mark them "Need more information" since that is the first step to them being closed as "Incomplete" and the stack trace often has enough information for a developer to fix the bug. However, if there is no information about how it is triggered you should ask the original reporter how to reproduce the bug.
- Should have Severity=Critical, Priority=High
- Something not working as expected
- Severity=Minor/Normal/Major depending on how much it breaks the application (see the guidelines). If XBMC would suck badly if we shipped another version with this bug, set Priority=High; otherwise Priority=Normal.
- Usability issues
- Severity=Minor, Priority=Normal.
- Add the "usability" keyword.
- Accessibility issues
- Severity=Minor or Normal depending on the extent of the bug. Priority=Normal.
- Add the accessibility keyword, and possibly the keynav keyword if it's a keyboard navigation bug.
- These really require expert assessment to determine their severity, so the accessibility keyword is the most important part of our triage.
- Incorrect strings, typos, etc.
- Severity=Trivial, Priority=Normal or High depending on how user-visible it is.
- Set the string keyword.
- Feature requests
- If it really is a new feature, and not an improvement to something already in the product, set Severity=Enhancement, Priority=Normal.
If you're unsure about your Severity/Priority triage, add a comment in the bug explaining why you triaged it as you did. You can also add yourself to the Cc field, so if someone re-triages it differently you can find out why.
3.6 Add yourself to the CC list
By adding yourself to the CC list of bugs you change, you will receive e-mails with comments and changes others do to the individual report. You learn what further investigations others make and learn more rapidly about triaging bugs in the XBMC tracking-system.
4 Stock responses for incomplete bugs
Here are some stock responses to cut and paste into XBMC tracking-system for common situations.
- No XBMC debug log is provided
- Please collect and attach a XBMC debug log that shows the problem, see http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_Submit_a_Proper_Bug_Report
- If the bug is a crasher and no stack trace is provided
- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace (also known as a backtrace) from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Thanks in advance!
- If the bug is not described well
- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_Submit_a_Proper_Bug_Report and add a more useful description to this bug report.
- If the bug is not described well and it's a crasher
- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_Submit_a_Proper_Bug_Report and add a more useful description to this bug report. Also note that without a stack trace (also known as a backtrace) from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Thanks in advance!
- If the stack trace is incomplete or without debugging symbols
- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Thanks in advance!
- If the bug is in an obsolete version of the application
- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. XBMC developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of XBMC you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of XBMC. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of XBMC.
- If the bug is not with the XBMC software
- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, this third-party skin/script/plugin/software does not track its bugs in the XBMC tracker-system. We kindly ask you to report the bug to the third-party skin/script/plugin/software authors. If the affected third-party skin/script/plugin/softwarehas a bug tracking-system you should investigate whether a bug for the reported issue is already filed in this system. If it has not been filed yet please do so. Also ensure that both bug reports contain a link to each other. Thanks in advance!
- If the bug is a duplicate
- Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. or Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but the maintainers need more information to fix the bug. Could you please answer the questions in the other report in order to help the developers?
5 Triage FAQ
- What are Team-XBMC Quality Assurance Specialists?
- The QA Specialist team is the Quality Assurance (QA) team for XBMC. We keep track of current bugs in XBMC software and try to make sure that major bugs do not go unnoticed by developers. It is not our job to fix the bugs, although there is nothing to stop you from submitting patches if you have hacking experience. It is a great way to return something to the XBMC community whether you can program or not.
- What skills are needed in order to help triage bugs?
- Common sense and a bit of pragmatism is all that is needed to join the QA Specialist team. Coding skills might help you evaluate or fix particular bugs, but triaging most bugs will not require knowledge of programming. Bug triaging is a great way for people who do not know anything about programming to return something to the XBMC community.
- What software is needed in order to assist in triaging bugs?
- All you need is a web browser and an internet connection. Some people have triaged bugs using Firefox or Internet Explorer on a Windows desktop at work. It is usually best, though, to be running a reasonably recent version of XBMC yourself as well.
- How long does it take to learn how to triage bugs?
- Triaging bugs is a great way to help out with XBMC if you do not have much time. It does not take very long to get started, and on average, the simpler bugs can be triaged in anywhere from 2-10 minutes.
- Why should I join/help the QA Specialist team?
- There are several reasons:
- Maintainers will not have to spend as much time reading bug reports and will thus be able to concentrate on fixing bugs, making XBMC better for you.
- You will learn more about the capabilities of XBMC (e.g. when you look at a bug that someone files about a specific feature in the Music or Video Library Mode which you did not know about...).
- You will get a better feel for the different areas of XBMC and will potentially be able to find other areas that you can also help (e.g. documentation, graphics, translation, web design, user/human interface work, assisting with developing certain applications, etc.).
- There are several reasons:
- What if I can not find any changes to make to a bug? What if all the fields look like they are set correctly?
- Then simply move on to a different bug.
- What if a certain bugs look like a duplicate of many different bugs?
- Try to find the "original" one and mark your bug as a duplicate of that one. (i.e. if bug A has been reported and bugs B & C have been marked as a duplicate of A, then try to mark future bugs as a duplicate of A and not as duplicates of B or C).
- I can not reproduce a certain bug. Can I close it?
- You have to take into account why you can't reproduce it. Many bugs happen only under certain rare circumstances, and you might not be able to reproduce it due to a different system configuration, or you might be running Linux instead of Windows or Mac.
- If the bug is sufficiently general, is filed against an old version and looks as though it is now fixed, you can close it. If you're not sure, ask in forum and IRC channels if someone else can replicate it. You can also add a comment saying that you can not reproduce the bug (along with any relevant information about your system) if you think it will help.
5.1 Advanced
- I am a programmer. Are there more advanced things I can do related to triaging?
- Yes, there are several things you could do that someone without programming skills might not be as adept at or would not be able to do at all. Bug triaging is a great way to find a small part of XBMC to start on while making your first XBMC baby steps. Here are a few of the things you can do:
- Obtain easy directions to duplicate bugs (sometimes it is easier for those with a programming background to find these)
- For bugs that are reported but do not contain debugging symbols, try to obtain debugging symbols for them. Some stack traces can help a developer find a problem even without debugging symbols, but often times they are not very helpful.
- Find and mark duplicates of crasher bugs (those without a programming background may take longer to get used to dealing with stack traces).
- Look for bugs with the "love" keyword. Fix them.
- Look for bugs which look interesting. Contact the maintainer to let him/her know you would like to work on it and verify that no one else is working on it. Then fix it.
6 Encouragement from Team-XBMC
Remember that this is only the first step. At least a couple other people will read and have the opportunity to correct your mistakes. That isn't to say "make lots of mistakes" but it is to say "don't be afraid to make them", especially once you get used to it, your work will make the lives of the XBMC developers- and as a result XBMC itself- a heck of a lot better.

Buckles Denied Transfer Appeal
Once again, the NCAA shows what buffoons they are. Rak was denied his appeal to transfer to follow Richard Pitino to Minnesota. What sucks even more is that FIU already gave away his scholarship, so he is going to have to walk on at FIU for a postseason ineligible team.

MY NEW FAVORITE THING!Posted: August 12, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized 3 Comments
Believe it or not, I learned this recipe at the dog park from a friend named Suzie (Winnie and Bella's Dog-Mom)! Take a small jar of pickled jalepenos…pour them into a slightly (of course CLEAN) larger jar…
…put them in the fridge for 1 week. Try to stir or gently shake them a few times during the week. This will allow the sugar to break down and "candy" the jalepenos.
AWESOME! My friend, Suzie takes a jar to parties and then serves them on crackers with cream cheese… the saltiness of the cheese and the sweet of the candied jalepenos. YUM! Or you can do this recipe which is broil the candied jalepenos on regular nachos. You can chop them finely for a relish on tacos. You can pick up a can of sliced jalepenos and carrots from the Hispanic section in your local grocery and pour them, liquid and all into a glass container and add the sugar and you still get a wonderful condiment. Seriously, this would make a cheap and cheerful gift for male friends/family! They love them! My friend Lisa, (Candy's Dog-Mom) from the dog park, sometimes pours off some liquid from the jar and adds the 1 Cup of Sugar and says it makes it more "jelly" like. This might be better if you were creating a relish by chopping everything in it once it jelled. Lisa also occasionally adds some red onion to the mix. Makes my mouth water!!!!!

I like the idea of putting on the cream cheese- sort of cools things down. I'm going to try it!
I bet Bryan would LOVE this!! Thanks!!

When I put on the camera, although the lens extends out, it takes a while to open and sometimes does not open and any photo taken comes black because the lens is shut! Its a huge disappointment because I barely used the camera.
Did anyone encounter the problem? Is there a fix? Why does this happen.
