No question, an e-mail forwarded from Cinemark to victims of the July 20 shooting at Aurora Century 16 -- and family members of those who died there -- inviting them to a special reopening ceremony was the wrong way to deliver the message...but is it reason for a boycott?
The upcoming reopening of Cinemark's Century 16 theater, the site of the tragic mass shooting on July 20 at a midnight show, has sparked a lot of controversy this week -- in part because of a heavily criticized letter that theater sent to the victims' families inviting them to attend its re-opening. ...

Man faces charge of loaded gun in airport
Published On: Jan 07 2014 04:57:14 PM CST
For the second time, a man is out on bond after authorities say a gun was found in his carry-on luggage at the Tri-Cities Regional Airport.
The Transportation Security Administration tells us Christopher Osborne is charged with possession of a prohibited weapon. Officers say the gun was loaded with ten rounds of ammunition when found Tuesday morning.
We're told Osborne was trying to fly to Atlanta. The TSA will be pursuing civil charges.
Last year, Osborne was arrested with the weapon on another flight from Tri-Cities to Atlanta.
He was arraigned Tuesday morning and will be back in court on January 28.

After nearly six decades, a stolen war medal was returned to the family of a Minnesota veteran.
George Johnson died during the Battle of Hwanggan in the Korean War on July 28, 1950, and his parents were presented with a Purple Heart Medal and a Bronze Star Medal.
The medals were stolen years ago during a burglary of the shop Johnson's father owned, but the Purple Heart popped back up last year in a box of "junk" found on a farm that was bought by a couple in Otsego.
On Wednesday afternoon, Johnson's brother William got it back during a special ceremony at Fort Snelling. When he heard it had been found he said he was, "Shocked, completely shocked."
More than a half century has passed since his brother's death, but to William, the return of the stolen medal brought his legacy back to life saying, "He was a very young man, only seventeen years old, but yet he served our country, and I guess I've got to be really proud of that."

Everyone goes on about you get a fiver every month, but you don't. If you pay in £1k+ you simply get £5 off the £15 fee so pay £10 per month. Features aren't fabulous unless you have a car. Make sure you read the ts&cs carefully. Claimed on mobile insurance last year they repaired my phone for £25. funnily enough a month later it went up to £100 per claim. 4 months after they repaired the phone. It completely stopped working. Called them up only to be told you should have told us within 2 weeks of your claim, and I would have to pay £100 to claim again as I've got an iPhone. Forget that went to apple and traded my broken handset in for a new phone same model for £114 with 3 months warranty. Will not claim again (but I guess they want us to do that but still pay for the 'reward' and considering moving banks because of it.
hi Sophie 87
the halifax .reward account pays you £5 a month after tax,providing you pay in £1000 a month.
the ultimate reward account ,you pay them £10 a month providing you pay in £1000 a month.if your not happy with them write to them stating your grievances,if you can find a mistake they made ,make it a complaint.they don't like complaints.
I made a complaint to them for not recieving a investment cirt.and got £80 for the inconvenience it caused me.
Thanks for this however I am reviewing the ultimate reward and not the reward current account in which you don't get the £5. Would be nice if you did :)

I would like people to know that on Oct. 24, 2009, my husband asked me if it was all right if he ran for the Illinois State Senate. I was not shocked, because I knew he always had this idea in mind.
I want to make it clear that Sean was not asked by anyone to run. It was always an aspiration of his, and anyone who knows Sean well, knows that about him. Sean knew full and well that his being village president, and his dad's firm being the village engineer, would come up. Did you think he wouldn't?
The truth of the matter is, Engineering Enterprises Inc. (EEI) was the engineer of the town before Sean came into office. In no way did he steer or vote his board into keeping EEI as village engineers. He would not have been able to run for village president if the lawyers hadn't done their job and saw that it was not a conflict of interest. Nor would he have been re-elected three times if the voters thought it was an issue.
On the Mallard Point issue, that subdivision was built before Sean became village president.
My husband is a good and honest man who has the people's best interest at heart. He does his very best every day to make the people around him happy. That is why he works well with his constituents. He is the kind of man who says "hi†to everyone, asks how they are, and congratulates his kids' classmates for a job well done at their sporting events; and he truly means it. Sean shares on similar issues with his opponent, but the difference is he works well with others.
As you can see in the papers, the only thing his opponent can find to make you question Sean's integrity has no standing. It is not even an issue. If it was, he would have brought it up years ago. He knows Sean and his family and knows they are good people. Why else would he have taken campaign money from my father-in-law four years ago and send us an invitation to his Porky Pig fundraiser in August?
Would you vote for a man who uses intimidation to get votes? I won't.
After 17 years in office, it is time for a new voice.
Every word I just wrote here is the truth; if it wasn't, I would not be able to sleep at night.

Ban on children using tanning beds, increased job training, and insurance equality among Ted Lieu bills taking effect Jan. 1, 2012
December 14, 2011
Legislature, governor, approve key laws by Senator Lieu
SACRAMENTO – Creating jobs, ensuring equality and banning children from using cancer-causing tanning beds are among the laws by freshman Sen. Ted W. Lieu taking effect Jan. 1, 2012.
Slashing unemployment and protecting both our children and our wallets while creating middle-class jobs are among this year's successes benefiting Californians statewide. Lieu's ban on the use of tanning beds by those under 18 capped a years-long effort dating to his Assembly tenure. It is among his most far-reaching laws and promises to save countless lives and make California the model in the nation and among countries worldwide. A new study announced Wednesday by scientists at the Yale School of Public Health shows that use of tanning beds by teens lead to a 70-percent increase in common skin cancer. More HERE:
Here are new laws by Lieu:
Senate Bill 698 – Job Training and Oversight
As California faces the toughest jobs crisis in more than 50 years, SB 698 will help slash unemployment and improve how workers are connected to well-paying jobs by holding local job-training programs more accountable to higher standards.
SB 746 – Tanning Beds and Cancer Prevention
This first-in-the-nation law by Lieu bans youths under age 18 from using indoor tanning booths because science has shown they cause skin cancer. Doctors, pediatricians, dermatologists, scientists, health organizations and employers statewide supported this public-health measure.
SB 757 – Insurance Equality
This anti-discrimination protection closes a loophole used by out-of-state health insurers to unfairly avoid paying medical-coverage benefits for domestic partners.
SB 917 – Curbing Animal Abuse and Neglect
This animal-protection effort will help prevent animal abuse by banning their sale on street corners and temporary retail venues.
SB 857 – Strike Damages
This bill protects free speech and prohibits PERB from assessing damages based on a mere threat of a strike.
In addition, three laws will take effect that Lieu supported, co-sponsored or co-authored: SB 813 helps veterans attend college; SB 806 addresses pay abuses in the California National Guard; and SB 622, which cracks down on sex offenders.
Finally, Lieu co-authored AB 900 and a companion measure to streamline the review process for construction projects while protecting all existing environmental standards.
SPECIAL NOTE: The office of Sen. Lieu can provide a Spanish-speaking representative to comment on the bills cited in this Press Release.
For more, including Fact Sheets on the above measures, visit Lieu's Web site below.
Ted W. Lieu represents nearly 1 million residents of Senate District 28, which includes the cities of Carson, El Segundo, Hermosa Beach, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance, as well as portions of Long Beach, Los Angeles and San Pedro. For more, visit www.senate.ca.gov/lieu.

Bryan Bickell signs 4-year, $16M deal to stay with Blackhawks
BY MARK LAZERUS email@example.com June 30, 2013 10:04PM
Bryan Bickell
Updated: August 2, 2013 7:39AM
NEWARK, N.J. — Bryan Bickell played like a star. Now he's going to be paid like a star.
And the pressure's on to prove that he is, indeed, a star.
"Yeah, there's going to be more pressure," Bickell said after signing a four-year, $16 million contract to stay with the Blackhawks. "They're going to rely on me more. I feel these playoffs, I took a big step [in terms of] the way I need to play, the consistent level I need to bring. But I feel like I can bring that every night. I know what it takes now."
Bickell was the breakout performer of the Hawks' run to the Stanley Cup over the last two months, timing his nine-goal, eight-assist outburst perfectly with his impending unrestricted free agency. All along, Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said he wanted to keep Bickell, and Bickell said he'd be willing to take a hometown discount to stay with the team that drafted him in 2004.
While an average cap hit of $4 million — he'll get a $1 million bonus and a $2 million salary next year, $4 million in 2014-15, and $4.5 million each of the next two season — it's not much of a discount. And Bickell knew his contract was one reason the Hawks dealt away Dave Bolland and Michael Frolik earlier Sunday evening at the NHL draft.
"It's unfortunate, I've known Bolland for a long time, and he's a big part of these Cup runs that we had," Bickell said. "They felt they needed to move some guys to keep me, and I'm just happy that they wanted me that bad."
Bickell had nine goals and 14 assists as a third-liner during the regular season. He had 40 goals and 50 assists in 220 games until his postseason surge. He combined with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane to form a highly productive top line during the final two series of the playoffs, and said he'd like the chance to play a whole season with them to see what they could accomplish.
"We're excited to keep Bick because obviously we saw what he could do in the playoffs," Bowman said. "But he's got a different profile in terms of his style of play and his size."
For now, Bickell's going to take the Cup back home to Bowmanville, Ontario, and take it fishing, as he did in 2010. He just bought a new fishing boat last year, but with his new contract, "maybe I'll upgrade."
"I feel like Chicago's like a second home," he said. "I got drafted here. You can't beat the city, the fans and the team. I'm happy to be back. It's an awesome feeling."

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do digital users need computer glasses?
A: It is not uncommon for people to work (and play) on a digital screen for extended periods of time. Many digital users often end up with blurred vision, eye strain, and headaches — symptoms of Digital Eye Strain and Computer Vision Syndrome. Some compensate for their blurred vision by leaning forward, or by tipping their head to look through the bottom portion of their glasses. Both actions can result in a sore neck, sore shoulders and a sore back. GUNNAR computer eyewear is engineered to reduce digital eye strain while increasing contrast, comfort, and focus.
Q: Who should wear GUNNARS?
A: Anyone who spends time using computers or electronic digital devices will benefit from wearing GUNNAR glasses.
Q: What benefits can you expect from wearing GUNNARS?
A: GUNNAR Benefits:
1) Reduced eye strain, dry eyes, and computer related headaches
2) Decreased glare and screen reflections
3) Increased contrast and resolution
4) Improved productivity and performance
Q: Why are GUNNARS better than other computer glasses?
A: GUNNAR is the industry leader in advanced computer and gaming eyewear, being the only company with approved patents for particular computer glasses elements. Our patented lens technology and style-based design distinguishes GUNNAR eyewear from other options available. All GUNNARS, regardless of the style or price, reduce digital eye strain while improving contrast, comfort and focus. The price varies according to the design, frame materials, and the style.
Q: Why are GUNNARS better than other visual ergonomic options like screen savers or software solutions?
A: If you're under 40, eye strain or blurred vision during computer work may be due to an inability of your eyes to remain accurately focused on your screen or because your eyes have trouble changing focus from your keyboard to your screen and back again for prolonged periods. Computer glasses differ from regular eyeglasses or reading glasses in several ways: 1) Most young people wear eyeglasses to correct their distance vision, and 2) Reading glasses are prescribed to correct near vision only. Only computer glasses are optimized for digital screens that are positioned 20 to 26 inches from the user's eyes.
GUNNAR Lens Technology
Q: What is special about GUNNAR lens technology?
A: GUNNARs patented lens technology is the result of intensive study and research on the optical system and its interaction with digital devices and high energy (HEV) blue light. Based on optometric principles developed over years, and fused with the most recent scientific advances from GUNNAR, our lens technology works with and enhances the properties of the human eye. Made of a proprietary lens material and finished with custom tints and coatings, GUNNAR lens technology improves visual performance when interacting with any digital screen. Learn more about how GUNNARS work >
Q: Do GUNNAR Computer Glasses have extra focusing power?
A: GUNNAR lens material has specifically tuned focusing providing your sharper, clearer vision. This patented lens technology helps you focus more naturally reducing stress on your eyes. Less eye strain reduces digital fatigue.
Q: What is the advantage of our yellow lenses?
A: GUNNARS lens tint is designed to filter out harsh blue light. It offers the best enhancement of contrast and visual performance while minimizing screen glare and diminishing the harshest parts of the color spectrum. To learn more, visit The Advantage of Yellow Lenses.
Q: What type of optical lens material is used in GUNNAR lenses?
A: It's a material that is not commonly used in ophthalmic lenses due to the significant cost increase over traditional lens material. It's a high index material with extremely high Abbe value for color control, precision and durability.
Q: Has GUNNAR conducted research to prove that its eyewear helps prevent Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)?
A: For additional information, science, research and clinical studies regarding, please visit our Corporate Sales Site.
Q: Do GUNNARS really work?
A: GUNNAR is proud to be an innovator in lens technology and visual ergonomics. We hold broad patent coverage for our Computer Eyewear and lens specifications.

Q: Do you design glasses specifically for gamers, women and children?
A: Advanced Gaming Eyewear is designed specifically for gamers by incorporating increased viewing angles and headset compatible temples. In addition, we carry a variety of unisex frame styles geared towards women and youth consumers.
Q: I am a designer; will the amber tint mess with my colors?
A: Our proprietary Amber lens tint is tuned specifically to mimic natural light by filtering out the harsh blue light spectrum. If you work in true color and require unaltered spectral shift, then we recommend our Crystalline Lens option.
Q: Do the crystalline glasses have a magenta hue?
A: We use an Anti-Reflective (AR) coating to increase light transmission through the lens allowing for bright and crisper image detail. We tune our AR coating and select a center for peak reflectance over a certain parts of the spectrum. Our Amber tint has peak reflectance at 450nm which corresponds to the increased spike of energy in the blue part of the spectrum from digital screens, reducing strain on the eyes.
For our Crystalline Lens, we tune the AR coating to reflects closer to 550nm (green). Hence, you may perceive a slight green on the lens (less than 1% reflectance). The 550nm peak reflectance counters the natural filtering resulting from our lens material. The result is an equalized balance of light allowing for truest color necessary for design applications.

COLOGNE, Germany, Oct. 15, 2013 – Strong demand across its vehicle line-up drove Ford of Europe's sales volume up 4.6 percent in September, marking the fourth consecutive month of volume sales growth for Ford in its traditional 19 European markets.
Ford sold 115,300 vehicles in total in September, and 824,700 in the first nine month of the year in its traditional markets. Total market share through September was 8.0 percent, equal to the same period in 2012.
Industry sales in Ford's 19 traditional markets grew 5.5 percent in September, but are still down 4.3 percent year-to-date. Ford remains the No. 2 best-selling vehicle brand for both September and year-to-date in the region.
"We are pleased about our continuing improvement in the private customer retail business. For eight consecutive months, our retail market share has grown. This is very important because it tells you about the true strength of your products in the market," said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe.
Ford's passenger car retail market share in September in its five largest Western European markets -- U.K., Germany, France, Italy and Spain -- was 9.5 percent in September, up 1.0 percentage point. September marked the eighth straight month of retail share increase for Ford. Year-to-date, the company's retail share was 8.4 percent, an increase of 1.2 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Ford's retail share for both periods are the highest since Ford started tracking retail share in 2010.
Compared to September 2012, Ford sales to retail and fleet customers increased eight
percentage points to 77 percent of total sales, four percentage points better than industry average. At the same time, Ford reduced sales to rental companies and dealer self-registrations to 23 percent from 31 percent a year ago.
Ford's commercial vehicle sales were up 3.1 percent in September and 3.3 percent year-todate. This drove Ford's commercial vehicle shares to 10.8 percent in September, up 0.1 percentage points, and to 9.5 percent year-to-date, up 0.6 percentage points, Ford's best shares for both periods since 2007. Ford's commercial vehicle share increased in each month this year (year-over-year), except in May when it was flat.
Market highlights
In the UK, Ford's largest European market by sales, Ford extended its market lead. Ford sales volume rose by 6.3 percent to 61,700 in September and by 9.7 percent to 303,600 year-to-date. Ford's year-to-date retail share was up 1.0 percentage points at 13.3 percent. Fiesta topped the industry sales charts for both September and year-to-date. September is a traditionally strong month for the industry due to the license plate change.
In Germany, Ford's second largest sales market, Ford sold 18,500 vehicles in September, up 2.3 percent, in an industry that was down 0.8 percent. Ford's total vehicle market share grew 0.2 of a percentage point to 6.8 percent for the month, while Ford's retail share grew by 2.8 percentage points to 7.3 percent. Ford's commercial vehicle share in Germany increased by 1.7 percentage points to 9.5 percent.
In Russia, Turkey and Italy, Ford sold 77,500, 75,700 and 71,600 vehicles year-to-date, making them the third, fourth and fifth largest markets for Ford so far this year.
Sales in the countries where Ford of Europe operates through importers - most of which in the Eastern European and North African region (European Direct Markets**) - were up 10 percent in September.
Vehicle sales highlights
Ford sold 6,300 B-MAX multi-activity vehicles (MAVs) in September, adding up to 54,100 BMAX having been registered so far throughout the year. B-MAX remains Europe's best-selling small MAV August year-to-date with a segment share of 15.8 percent (based on Ford's analysis of latest available Polk registration data).
Fiesta sales increased 7.1 percent to 33,200 in the Euro 19 region, making the Fiesta the company's best-selling model in September and also year-to-date with 219,700 units sold. Fiesta retail sales share* in its segment was up 1.7 ppts in September 2013.
Focus took the number 2 top-seller position, up 2.4 percent in September at 24,400 units and 173,600 year-to-date. Focus retail sales share* in its segment rose 1.8 ppts in September 2013.
C-MAX September sales volume jumped 16 percent to 9,200 and more than 75,000 throughout the year – the no. 3 best-selling passenger car in Ford's product range. C-MAX retail sales share* in its segment grew by 4.9 ppts in September.
Ford registered 19,600 commercial vehicles in September and 140,500 year-to-date, an increase of 3.1 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively. The increase was driven by strong demand for Transit Custom, and Ranger. Ranger year-to-date sales almost doubled versus the same period last year, and were on the highest September year-to-date level since 2008.
* UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain. Italy data preliminary. See table further down. Ford volume in these markets represents 80% of the Europe 19 volume.

You don't become a top tier retailer through sheer luck; rather, those retailers who occupy a top three position in their vertical have arrived at that spot by paying close attention to their business and understanding how to measure and manage in a way that moves them ever closer to position number one.
Over the past few decades, ShopperTrak has been a partner to many of these top tier retailers, as we have helped them to measure their own performance as well as understand the broader market context around key areas of their business. As a result of these close relationships we hold, we've put together what we believe to be The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Retailers. In our opinion, those retailers who follow these seven tenets will consistently win in the market versus their competition, resulting in healthy and steady growth well into the future.
In 21st century retail, having good data isn't just a need – it's a necessity. And few data streams are more important than understanding who your customers are, particularly for optimizing marketing campaigns and merchandising.
At the core of customer knowledge is an understanding of the demographics of the shoppers that populate each store. In particular, highly effective retailers understand that different mixes of customer segments often demand a localized approach to merchandising and marketing to optimize customer experience and conversion.
ShopperTrak's Interior Analytics suite includes demographic analysis, which gives retailers insights into the actual demographic makeup of shoppers in each individual store location.
Modern marketing is made to measure. Whereas in the past it was difficult to tie attribution for a sale to a specific media or set of media, retailers are now able to easily analyze the impacts of promotions that were previously difficult to measure. Highly effective retailers who use a marketing mix that includes costly out-of-store media to drive in-store purchases constantly seek out available insights to fund those campaigns that work, while stopping those that don't.
ShopperTrak's flexible web-based reporting lets retailers track the effectiveness of their out-of-store campaigns in driving in-store traffic.
Every category is really just a store within a store. And, now, highly effective retailers can track traffic and conversion in each individual category just as they have been tracking these some metrics at the store level for decades.
ShopperTrak's Interior Analytics suite provides category-level insights into traffic and conversion, which can then be compared against store-level metrics to see which categories are high performers and which need attention.
What's the last thing a converted shopper experiences before they leave the store? Most likely, it's the line that they waited in to make their purchase. The impression they receive of a store's speed of service is only as good as the last time they needed to wait. Highly effective retailers understand that shoppers' perceptions of speed of service are often built over time, and contribute to long-term loyalty to their brand – or their competitors' brands.
ShopperTrak's Interior Analytics suite includes queue analysis to show the typical wait time of shoppers, as well as typical line lengths at key service points such as cash wraps and customer service desks.
What remains the biggest investment made by nearly every retailer? It's not their POS or other store systems. It's not even their marketing and promotional campaigns. In fact, it's still their people. Yet very few retailers are able to quantify how effective their people are at helping customers find what they need, and encouraging conversion from a browser to a buyer. Highly effective retailers, however, track the performance of this huge investment, discovering best practices in employee/shopper engagement and sharing them throughout their chain to raise the performance of all employees.
ShopperTrak's Interior Analytics suite offers sales intercept analysis, which shows what percentage of shoppers are assisted by an employee, and how long it typically takes for employees to engage shoppers.
What's worse than no data? Bad data. Bad data can give retailers confidence in decisions that may ultimately cause great harm to their reputation or their revenues. Highly effective retailers demand accountability on the part of their data partners. They require proof that the data streams upon which they rely are consistently tested and validated to ensure they are an accurate instrument upon which decisions that involve millions of dollars can be made.
ShopperTrak proactively and consistently tests the data delivered by its Managed Service for traffic counting to ensure the highest possible levels of quality and uptime.
Is a 4% year-over-year increase in traffic something to celebrate, or something to be concerned about? Those retailers who benchmark their data to the market already know the answer. For those who don't, data without benchmarks can be misleading. Highly effective retailers understand that inter-chain benchmarks are highly valuable, but that aggregate benchmarks of their entire vertical and geographical footprint are even more valuable to understanding their performance.
Only ShopperTrak offers the Traffic Report, a monthly index of aggregate performance from 33 top MSA markets, 245 shopping environments, 4 key retail verticals and total retail traffic.
Are you a highly effective retailer? Contact ShopperTrak today to ensure you have the accurate, powerful data you need to lead the competition in your market.

A de Havilland DHC-6 and a Beech King Air 90 were to make a formation air drop of skydivers from 14,000 feet msl. The de Havilland was to be the lead aircraft with the King Air in trail. As the skydivers prepared to exit, the King Air was traveling faster than the de Havilland, and the pilot of the King Air had to pitch up and bank right to avoid the de Havilland. At that time, the pilot of the King Air lost sight of the de Havilland. A video tape taken by one of the skydivers showed that at the time the skydivers exited, the King Air was above, right, and ahead of the de Havilland. One of the King Air skydivers contacted the right propeller of the de Havilland. Other skydivers then saw this skydiver spinning out of control. One of these skydivers caught the injured skydiver and pulled the reserve handle; however, the reserve parachute did not fully inflate "due to being cut by the propeller." The injured skydiver fell to the ground. Both airplanes landed without further incident. The operator reported that this was the first formation air drop flight for either pilot in a multi-engine aircraft.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

It's way over budget. Try to act surprised.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority's new cost estimates released Tuesday show the initial stretch of construction between Merced and Bakersfield will cost $10 billion to $13.9 billion depending on how it's built. Project planners had previously pegged the sectionat $6.8 billion.And this is the part that they're building first because it's so cheap–not a lot of expensive real estate (or angry, politically powerful neighbors in the way). The Mercury News says that if the whole project's costs blow up the way the first leg has, the whole project will cost somewhere between $63 and $87 billion. But why expect the increase will be proportional? Of course, it might well be lower–but the later legs are going to be the ones where there's a lot of expensive infrastructure, and time-consuming community resistance–standing between the builders, and completion.

(Reuters) - Residents in the upper U.S. Midwest should ditch
their seasonal tradition of eating "cannibal sandwiches" made of
raw ground beef, health officials warned, citing multiple
outbreaks of foodborne illnesses since the 1970s and cases last
Gobbling up raw ground beef spread on sandwich bread or
crackers with onions and other seasoning led to more than 50
cases of foodborne illness in 1972, 1978 and 1994 in Wisconsin,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wrote in a report
released this week.
Raw beef "cannibal sandwiches" have also been linked to at
least four cases, and possibly more than a dozen, of sickness
tied to E. coli bacteria in the central region of Wisconsin over
the 2012 winter holiday season, the CDC said.
The bacteria can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and
abdominal cramps and, in the most severe cases, kidney failure.
"Despite ongoing outreach efforts addressing the dangers
associated with consuming undercooked or raw ground beef, this
regional holiday tradition continues to be associated with
outbreaks," the CDC said.
Jubilant amateur chefs can be seen in Web videos dining on
blood-red beef chunks dusted with pepper, topped with onions,
packed with capers, and piled onto sandwich bread with cheese
and mustard.
The CDC urged retailers to discourage customers from
consuming raw ground beef, which it said should be cooked to an
internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees

python-mode gone wrong
November 16, 2012 | categories: Python, Emacs, Programming | View Comments
If you recently upgraded Emacs' python-mode to version 6.0 or higher, and it feels wrong (indentation seems broken, the menu is confusing), downgrade to version 5. In Debian or Ubuntu you can do it like so:
sudo aptitude install python-central pymacs wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22053597/python-mode_5.1.0-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i python-mode_5.1.0-1_all.deb
Broken hearts
Something terrible happened. My beloved python-mode for Emacs has been infested with featuritis, and it doesn't look like it's coming back.
Yesterday I upgraded to Xubuntu 12.10 for my work laptop. That was after it turned out that I'm not manly enough to install Debian Wheezy proper. (What the f--k is wrong with your WLAN support, Debian!!)
With Xubuntu and a few tweaks you can luckily ignore all the less fortunate decisions that Ubuntu has made recently. No Unity means no Dash means no broken privacy out of the box.
Synaptic and GDebi are quickly installed to replace the ad-ridden and sluggish Ubuntu Software Center. And packages rock again and are fast. Also, I've come to really like Xfce; but I digress...
So far so good. Then I installed Emacs and python-mode and started editing my first Python file. Which was when I fell into a deep shock. A few things felt just plain wrong. In fact so wrong that I was sure I had the wrong mode active (namely the other python.el, which ships with Emacs). For hours and hours I searched for a way to disable Emacs' own Python mode and enable the "good one", tried some hacks, but it wouldn't work. Because, really I was using the right mode all the time, but python-mode had changed so much I couldn't recognize it anymore.
Firstly, the menu entries are completely different. Instead of the two entries "IM-Python", and "Python" (which I hardly ever used), there's now five different menus called "PyShell", "PyEdit", "PyExec", "PyTools" and "Outline", each with a shitload of entries inside, with mostly either trivial things, or stuff I have no idea what they're good for.
Take an example: The newer python-mode added skeletons. So that now instead of writing a for statement, you can now call up a macro that will ask you what to put into the name and expression parts of the statement, and then it'll write it. Yes, friends, imagine that instead of writing for foo in baz:, you can now call up this insanely useful macro and it will ask you to enter foo and then you hit enter and then it asks for baz, enter, and then it will write the line for foo in baz:.
What the f--k?
Surely, you could say I can ignore all of this seemingly useless functionality. After all, it might be useful to someone (it's NOT!!). But it still leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I feel alarmed that my beloved python-mode seems to have taken a step into a very bad direction. And I wonder if with all these added features, is it going to be as well-maintained? Is it going to make similar decisions in the future, ones that will affect me more? (This is software that I rely on for my daily work.)
And it looks like my fears are already confirmed. It turns out python-mode gets indentation wrong, arguably the most fundamental feature of any Python editing mode, or has anyway changed the way it works. As an example, if you hit enter where the X is below, it will indent four characters:
class Bar: def foo(self): pass Xclass Baz:
So that you'll end up with:
class Bar: def foo(self): pass class Baz:
(Where what you really wanted is put a blank line between them, or maybe add a new method to Bar.)
So what I did after I realized what was going on was to downgrade to python-mode 5.1, and finally my blood pressure went back to normal.
I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences with python-mode 6, I wonder if I'm alone.
Here's the two versions with their respective menus.
python-mode version 5
Simple is better than complex
python-mode version 6
F--k simple, let's do a million features because we can
Pyramid EuroPython tutorial video
August 16, 2012 | categories: Python, Web, Pyramid, Programming | View Comments
Here's the videos and material for the Writing a Pyramid application tutorial that I gave at last month's EuroPython 2012.
The tutorial is around 3,5 hours long. The accompanying material includes code and documentation for the seven individual steps of the tutorial (ex1_hello through ex7_final).
(Head here if the videos aren't displayed.)
This is the tutorial's complete description of the tutorial from the EuroPython website:
Pyramid is a very general open source Python web framework. As a framework, its primary job is to make it easier for a developer to create an arbitrary web application. The type of application being created isn't really important; it could be a spreadsheet, a corporate intranet, or a social networking platform. Pyramid is general enough that it can be used in a wide variety of circumstances.
In this tutorial you will build from scratch a simple app in which users each have their individual workspaces, and can invite other users to collaboratively edit content.
While writing the application, you will learn about many aspects of Pyramid. Concretely, you will learn how to:
- Install Pyramid within a virtualenv
- Use Pyramid's scaffolds to quickstart your project
- Work efficiently with templates (using Chameleon)
- Create models and views
- Write your own user authentication
- Make use of Pyramid's Access Control Lists support
- Use Pyramid's Traversal to map URL paths to your objects
- Create forms using the deform form library
- Work with the ZODB, a convenient database to store your Python objects in.
The tutorial will be split into steps with each step accomplishing a certain set of goals. Documented code for all the individual steps, including the final application, will be made available to participants.
Prerequisites: If you're on Mac OSX or Windows and you don't have Python 2.6 or Python 2.7 installed, you might want to run through the Pyramid installation instructions prior to the tutorial.
Kotti Werkpalast Sprint Wrap Up
May 28, 2012 | categories: Python, Web, Pyramid, Programming, Kotti | View Comments
Last week's Kotti sprint in Berlin was full of win. Here's a summary of what we worked on. (Sprinters: If I forgot to mention anything, please let me know and I'll update.)
Search and kotti_solr
Andi (witsch), Marco and Nuno worked on adding search to Kotti. Kotti now has a search box at the top right of the site that searches the 'title' and 'description' fields of content in the database. A setting called kotti.search_content allows the search function to be overridden. Which is where kotti_solr hooks in to provide search through Solr. kotti_solr has a buildout that installs Solr, and it's already working, but will currently only search the same 'title' and 'description' fields. (That is, it will need to grow adapters so that we can extract all searchable text from content.)
The basic search has already landed in Kotti's master branch in Git and will be available in the next version. There's still a few issues that need to be worked on here before that can happen though:
- Do permission checks with search results; at the moment search will return all items, whether the user has permission to see them or not. (Maybe this is a good time to consider adding something like CMF's allowedUsersAndRoles index to Kotti's Node.)
- Document the kotti.search_content setting.
We could also use some help in styling the search box and search results better. You can test drive the search on the demo site.
Snippets, slots and pyramid_snippets
Christian, Florian, Krille and Ibi worked on adding support for what Wordpress calls Shortcodes and MoinMoin calls macros.
With this, users will be able to insert codes like [gallery] into their pages and have these render to dynamic elements in the public view. Shortcodes may also take arguments like [table-of-contents level=3]. We discussed this idea back in February on the list.
The team decided they would move the core functionality behind what they call snippets into a separate package pyramid_snippets. The idea is that snippets behave like views with the advantage that they can be easily pulled in via AJAX and be used in other places in the site, like in the portlet columns. The integration with Kotti is happening in the snippets branch. Plans are to add a button to TinyMCE that allows users to add snippets instead of having to remember the codes and syntax.
We also want to eventually deprecate Kotti's slots and unify them with snippets so that slot renderers will become views and can be used as snippets and vice versa.
Anreas (disko) added a new Image type and image scaling to Kotti core. He extracted these out of the nice kotti_imagegallery add-on that he had written earlier.
Predefined image scales include span1 (60x120) to span12 (1160x2320). Additional image scales can be configured through the kotti.image_scales variables.
Rich text editing
Andreas (disko) and Daniel worked on improving the rich text editing story for Kotti. Based on the work done on images and scaling by Andreas, they created kotti_tinymce, which is an add-on that provides image and file upload, browsing and insertion through TinyMCE.
kotti_tinymce is actually based on the Products.TinyMCE add-on for Plone, and uses the exact same JavaScript resources. Only page templates and CSS are overridden and the server-side AJAX hooks implemented to work with Kotti. (We were quite amazed at how well this worked out.)
One problem with kotti_tinymce is that there's no functional tests. We've just verified that things are working by clicking through all the dialogues manually. Considering that Products.TinyMCE is evolving separately and that we want to maintain upstream compatibility, we really want to implement some browser-based functional tests to be able to guarantee a reasonable level of stability. These tests will also help us fix the remaining bugs in kotti_tinymce.
You can try out the rich text editing improvements on the demo site!
HTTP Caching
Andreas (disko) and Daniel added HTTP caching into the Kotti core. There's now a default caching policy which may be overridden using the kotti.caching_policy_chooser setting. The default policy is to not cache HTML, cache media for four hours, cache static resources for a month and so on.
The http caching code is based on code previously written by Daniel.
Paster templates
Marco and Tom worked on kotti_paster which Marco initially started. They've been working on a set of accumulative templates for Kotti that are based around Buildout and try to define best practices for different aspects of Kotti and Pyramid development for beginners.
How to write an add-on for the Kotti CMS
November 30, 2011 | categories: Python, Web, Pyramid, Programming | View Comments
This screencast guides you through the process of creating an add-on for the Kotti content management system. In this tutorial we'll write a simple commenting system in 21 minutes in real-time.
You'll be guided through:
- Installing Kotti itself
- Creating your own Kotti add-on (a Python package)
- Configuring your Kotti site to include your add-on
(Click here if you don't see the video.)
Where to go from here
- Read Kotti's documentation on readthedocs.org
- Try Kotti on the demo server
- Find Kotti releases on PyPI
- Find Kotti's source on GitHub
- Look at the source of two Kotti add-ons:
- kotti_twitter adds a Twitter box
- kotti_calendar adds a calendar content type and events
Pyramid is too damn easy - a success story
March 16, 2011 | categories: Python, Web, Pyramid, Programming | View Comments
Note: This isn't a programming tutorial. If you're looking for a tutorial because you want to learn Pyramid on your own, head over to the Tutorials section in the offical Pyramid docs.
Recently, the University of Coimbra in Portugal rolled out a shiny new collection of web apps for students and staff. Users can now access through a single platform:
- their email account
- a personalized calendar
- a homepage app where they can manage their own online presence
- their profile, as it's stored in the uni's LDAP, which they can update
- a central panel to manage subscriptions to all Mailman mailing lists available to them
- a help desk application that integrates with the Request Tracker ticket-tracking system
- an application to access documents in the KnowledgeTree document management system
The apps are demoed (rather quickly) in this Portuguese language video. Skip to 1:23 to see them in action:
(Click here if you don't see the video.)
Mario José Bernardes, the project coordinator, draws a diagram that visualizes the different components involved under the hood:
And what you can see here is in fact implemented as a WSGI pipeline. The three boxes AP1 to AP3 at the bottom are the WSGI apps. In front of that we have PA which is a repoze.who based middleware that provides user authentication and single sign-on through Shibboleth and LDAP. And at the top there is a Deliverance middleware that provides the look & feel as well as the header and footer for all pages, including the menu to navigate between the apps.
Now what's really remarkable about this project, apart from its brilliant execution, is that it was developed mostly in-house by a small team of developers and admins, most of who hardly knew Python before they started the project.
How did they end up using Python and Pyramid?
The university is a long-time Silva user, using it for their public website for four years now, and they're very happy with it. They knew that they like Python and wanted to use it to solve more problems.
And that's when I got involved. Back in December '09, I was asked to do two Python tutorial sessions with three days each. The trainees were the in-house developers and most of them complete Python newbies. So the first half of the tutorial was an introduction to Python from the ground up and the second half explained WSGI, Paste and Pyramid (which was still repoze.bfg back then).
In parallel to the training sessions, we put our heads together to think about how a Python implementation of their envisioned web apps portal could look like. Back home from Portugal, I went ahead and wrote some of the core utilities and one example app that could be used as a reference point for programmers writing other apps.
And then it happened: After I delivered the first app, things got very silent. I stopped getting calls, no more emails, not even a single postcard! ... until I realized: the team didn't need me anymore. Python and Pyramid were too damn easy! My days as a consultant would soon be counted. :-)
Lessons learned
- Don't teach Pyramid, you'll become useless soon
- Instead recommend hard-to-learn frameworks, or better yet, vendor-tied and hard-to-install black boxes
- Find a new job quick before more people find out about Pyramid
Seriously, what more important metric do we have for choosing one framework over another if not that: How long does it take your team to learn it and be productive with it?
Who did it
These guys rocked apps.uc.pt: Mario José Bernardes, Valentim Branquinho, João Santos, Hugo Branquinho, Pedro Pinheiro, Pedro Almeida and myself.
