The Art of SOA Testing: Theory and Practice
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based on Web Services standards has ushered in a new era of how applications are being designed, developed, and deployed. SOA's promise to enable the development of applications that are built by combining loosely coupled and interoperable services poses new challenges for testers and everyone involved with the software reliability and security. Among the challenges are dealing with multiple Web Services standards and implementations, legacy applications (of unknown quality) now exposed as Web services, weak or non-existent security controls, and services of possibly diverse origins chained together to create dynamic application implementations. Join Rizwan Mallal to learn concepts, skills, and powerful techniques-WSDL chaining, schema mutation, and automated filtration-needed to meet these challenges. Learn how traditional techniques such as black, gray, and white-box testing are applied to SOA testing to maximize test coverage, reduce effort, and release better products.

COPT adding another massive office building to Arundel park
- Daniel J. Sernovitz, Staff
One of the largest enclaves for the military's defense contracting community just got a little bigger.
Columbia developer Corporate Office Properties Trust has started construction on a 110,000-square-foot office building at its sprawling National Business Park in Anne Arundel County. The company is banking on the explosive growth being generated by the military's Base Realignment and Closure plan and nearby Fort George G. Meade.
No tenants have signed on to lease space in the building yet, but CEO Randall M. Griffin said leasing at some of the park's other buildings has continued at a steady clip.
The latest building is one of four now under construction at National Business Park, a 2.7 million-square-foot business park next to Fort Meade and home to a long list of government agencies and private contractors. COPT is spending about $113.5 million on the new buildings, according to company financial data.
And COPT is not the only developer looking to capture some of that demand. Within four miles of Fort Meade, developers are planning to develop about 10.8 million square feet of new commercial space. Merritt Properties has recently started construction on a $68 million mixed-use development called Buckingham.
Fort Meade has grown dramatically since Sept. 11, coinciding with the increased role of the National Security Agency and other government divisions based at Fort Meade.
The NSA, the code-cracking arm of the Pentagon, is charged with keeping hackers and terrorists from tapping into the nation's sensitive computer data. NSA Gen. Keith Alexander has also been named head of U.S. Cyber Command, an umbrella organization coordinating the cyber security efforts of other branches of the military.
By 2014, the NSA hopes to build 1.8 million square feet of new office space at Fort Meade and add about 6,500 employees to its work force there, according to agency planning documents.
Added to that, the military is shifting another 5,800 employees and three different agencies to Fort Meade as part of BRAC. At least twice as many private contracting jobs will be shifted to the Fort Meade area as they follow their government agencies here, and that will add to the need for office developments like the one COPT is developing.
Anne Arundel Economic Development Corp. CEO Robert L. Hannon said many of the companies tied to Fort Meade have been in the county for years but are now ramping up their operations and adding workers. He estimates Fort Meade has helped to create or bring at least 1,500 new private contracting jobs to the area in the past few years.

Mobile on Desktop MSI style - 915GM Speedster-FA4 (now with Overclocking) - Benchmarks - PCMark05
Last time it was Core Duo, this time we take a look at MSI's Mobile on Desktop board using the older Pentium M CPU.PCMark
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.1.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/pcmark04/
PCMark is a multipurpose benchmark, suited for benchmarking all kinds of PCs, from laptops to workstations, as well as across multiple Windows operating systems. This easy-to-use benchmark makes professional strength benchmarking software available even to novice users. PCMark consists of a series of tests that represent common tasks in home and office programs. PCMark also covers many additional areas outside the scope of other MadOnion.com benchmarks.
Again the CPU performance is better than Netburst and the AMD but memory falls behind. Overall the AMD just manages to edge over the Dothan setup.
UPDATE ON OVERCLOCKING Even with the CPU overclocked, the memory still isn't able to match the Netburst or K8 Speeds, however, we see a improvement in raw CPU performance.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
UK government report concludes work is no longer a way out of poverty
LONDON - Having a job no longer offers a sure route out of poverty in Britain, with the working poor crushed by rising costs and stagnant wages, a first of its kind report from the government said Thursday.
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission report concluded that the government must do more to help low-paid workers. While government policies have traditionally focused on helping welfare recipients get work, the missing piece of the "policy jigsaw" is how to help people who are working but not economically stable, said Alan Milburn, the commission's chair.
"These are the people that heed the urgings of politicians of all hues to do the right thing, to stand on their own two feet, to strive not shirk," Milburn said. "Yet all too often the working poor are the forgotten people of Britain. They desperately need a new deal."
The report concludes that 4.8 million workers, often women, earn less than a living wage.
Young people have been especially hard hit by deteriorating economic conditions. The report said that two-thirds of Britain's poor children now live in families with at least one working adult. In 1997, that was less than half.
Public spending, particularly tax credits that subsidized stagnating wages, had in the past been the main engine that drove reductions in child poverty, but government austerity following the global financial crisis "removes that prop."
"The principal problem is that those working parents simply do not earn enough to escape poverty," the report said, adding that Britain has one of the highest rates of low pay in the developed world.
In a recommendation that will stir controversy, Milburn said that wealthy retirees will have to take a bigger share of the hit from austerity programs. It isn't sustainable to continue "favouring pensioners over their children and grandchildren."
Several government programs in Britain, such as a winter fuel allowance, are given to older people regardless of income and they remain firmly engrained as an entitlement.
Any cutbacks would be politically challenging. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg objected to the idea even before the report was published. "Punishing pensioners isn't going to help a single child achieve more in life," he wrote in a piece in the Daily Telegraph.
But the report struck a nerve among anti-poverty campaigners, who noted the need to comprehensively act on the problems of the poor. Alison Garnham, chief executive of the Child Poverty Action Group, appealed for government "to help families suffering problems like low pay, lack of full-time work and job insecurity."
The commission was set up to monitor the progress of government and others in tackling child poverty and improving social mobility. It has been studying the issue for nine months.

Young's Plant Farm Wins Innovation Award
Young's Plant Farm of Auburn, Ala., won first place in the Innovation category for the 2011 Sage Customer Awards. Young's teamed with Practical Software Solutions to add Scan By Cart capabilities to Sage ERP MAS 500 Grower Vertical. The Innovation Award recognizes the extraordinary achievement of a customer that adopted Sage applications as an enterprise-class solution for its industry. "We're honored that Sage recognized the Grower Vertical module for a second time," says Vince Stamey, Chief Executive Officer of Practical Software Solutions. "Grower Vertical is a credit to how flexible Sage ERP MAS 500 is and how businesses can have it tailored to meet the needs of their customers. We congratulate Young's Plant Farm for winning this highly coveted award." Scan By Cart was developed after one of Young's Plant Farm's big box retailers changed its UPC system to give unique codes for every plant variety and color. Instead […]

QR Codes Are Everywhere At Short Course
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Of all the marketing trends we saw at this year's OFA Short Course, probably the most pervasive was the use of 2D Codes. Although it's still a relatively new technology – barcodes designed for smart phone readers have really only been around for a couple of years, and only a handful were evident at last year's Short Course – the codes were popping up everywhere in the convention center in 2011. The technology clearly has resonated with the industry as a quick and easy way to deliver information to customers, whether they are growers, retailers or consumers. Check out this slideshow with just a few of the creative ways the ornamentals industry is getting into 2D Codes.

Succeed By Setting Expectations For Your Staff
We'd like to think everyone on our staff has the same stake in the success of the business as we do. "We all want the people who work for us to act like owners," says Eric Beck, with Total Integration LLC. That's easier said than done of course. Whether it's because an employee doesn't understand what they're expected to do, doesn't have the training or skills to do it correctly, or there are other communication problems, issues invariably arise. An assignment isn't completed or it's done wrong and you or another staff member end up spending time correcting the problem. Many times, Beck says, the owner or manager reacts by getting angry and showing everybody who's boss. But that can be counterproductive too. "Power works but it doesn't solve everything. If you're the general all the time, it won't work for long. If your staff is scared of you, they […]

Find Ways To Beat Stress
You can often get a good feel for the way things are going in the industry by the types of educational topics you see at events like Short Course. So it's probably not surprising that a couple of the first sessions out of the gate on Saturday covered dealing with stress in the workplace. It probably seems like today we're all busier and busier just trying to keep up and that's true for many of us. Short Course speaker Joyce Weiss told a roomful of growers and retailers that doing more with less is the new normal for all of us these days, and while we're all getting a lot done, we're feeling the effects. "Finding a work/life balance is important," she says. "We can't have a productive work environment if employees are stretched to the max in their work or home life." Companies need to find ways to help […]

Higham: One Transportation Solution
Dedicated Contract Carriage is one of the fastest growing segments of the trucking and distribution industry. Companies like Walmart, Target, Kroger and a host of name brand distributors use Dedicated Contract Carriage as a way to reduce costs, increase truck capacity and transfer liability and headaches. In fact, many major corporations that need a truck fleet are moving away from ownership (including leasing) and toward Dedicated Contract Carriage for some or all of their trucking operations. Generally, you have four options when moving your material to your customer locations. The first three of these options are relatively common–and 99 percent of growers fall into one of these three categories. First, you can buy your own trucks (and I include leasing or renting trucks in this category). Second, you can outsource the entire job to a third party (a third party logistics provider, 3PL or a broker). Third, you can try to […]

Oil, Onions & Other Tidbits
This spring season was a mixed bag. Depending on which part of the country you're in, Mother Nature was either very kind or very temperamental. For the most part, growers reported sales were especially good during the good weather and surprisingly strong otherwise. The same could be said about the country economically, as well. Some areas of the country continue to recover from the economic downturn nicely and others are progressing slowly, if at all. Some improvements in the labor and housing markets have been experienced this year, but not as quickly as some had hoped. Much attention has been placed on oil prices and their supposed influence on consumer purchases. However, a recent study debunked this notion, finding that consumer purchases of other discretionary items are less influenced by gasoline prices than originally thought. Instead, they tend to substitute regular gasoline for premium when prices rise above their tipping […]

5 Steps To Improving Your Financial Performance
With the onset of the real estate recession and significant changes in the dynamics of the nursery market, growers have faced severe financial difficulties. Fifteen percent of nursery, greenhouse and floriculture crop production companies in the United States have recently filed for bankruptcy or ended up liquidating. Companies that continue to operate have struggled with cash flow, fought with funding sources and worried they may not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy customer needs. In view of these challenges, this article offers five steps to take to improve the performance for financially-strapped growers. Step 1: Get Some Breathing Room With Your Lender When companies get short on cash, it results in them tripping financial performance covenants with their lenders that typically need to be maintained and exceeded to be in compliance with lending requirements. When financial covenants are broken, lenders worry whether or not the company will be able to support […]

Study Shows Regional Trends In Horticulture
Three professors at Texas A&M University recently published an updated study of U.S. nursery industry sales and marketing practices, which shows an industry heavy on small businesses. More than 3,000 firms answered questions from professors Charlie Hall, Alan Hodges and Marco Palma about their green industry businesses. The results show more than 50 percent of those who responded were firms with less than $250,000 in annual sales. Only 17 percent had sales of $1 million or greater, including 2.2 percent of firms with sales totaling between $10 million and $49 million. All told, respondents reported a collective total of $4.45 billion in sales for 2008, or an average of $1.73 million per firm. They collectively employed more than 48,800 permanent and temporary workers. Based on an adjusted population of validated active firms, total U.S. nursery industry sales (representing all facets of nursery from supplier to retail) was estimated at $27 […]

Is A Container Recycling Program In Your Future?
Like many urban areas, we hear complaints every spring about the number of plastic garden containers consumers collect and have to deal with for disposal. Across the United States, millions of pounds of agricultural plastics, including flower and vegetable containers, are discarded into local landfills every year. As in many states, the nursery and greenhouse industry is one of the few growth sectors in Virginia agriculture. With increasing focus on promoting the nursery and greenhouse industry as the original "green" industry, we wanted to address container recycling. Initially, we contacted most of the recycling centers in Virginia and found only a few that accepted plastic garden containers for recycling. In September 2008, Greenhouse Grower Editor Delilah Onofrey wrote, "Since we don't have the power to influence the entire garbage collection industry, the best we can do is create programs that make it easier for growers and consumers to recycle plastic […]

Tax Credits, Not Alternative Systems, Key To Success
In response to Greenhouse Grower's February article "Saving With Solar," Centerton Nursery's R. Denny Blew points out that the grower with conventional fuel systems could achieve as much with a tax credit as the grower receiving them for alternative systems: Sometimes we get so obsessed with what we can grab with one hand that we completely forget what we have in the other hand. In regard to your February cover story "Saving With Solar," I won't knock any grower for looking for alternative energy sources. However, give me a 50 (percent) tax credit and I can find a way to make my conventional fuel system a whole lot better. Give me a 50 (percent) tax credit and I'll make it cheaper. Give me a 50 (percent) tax credit and I'll make it more efficient. Give me a 50 (percent) tax credit and I'll make it more feasible. Give me a […]

Auction Cautions
Whether you've participated in an auction yourself or you've seen one on TV, it's easy to understand how bidders get spend happy and pay exorbitantly large sums of money for items they might otherwise buy elsewhere or not at all. The same goes for growers and the increasing number of industry auctions taking place these days. Say a grower attends an auction with no specific needs in mind. All he wants to do is pounce on items he perceives as bargains. The grower establishes a price he's willing to pay and tells himself he won't spend a penny over that price. When no one even approaches the grower's set price, he seizes the moment and makes a sudden bid–on a greenhouse. "Sold!" the auctioneer declares. The grower pumps his fist and puts on a beaming smile, thinking he just made a steal that would make Bernie Madoff proud. The deal […]

An essential a part of any architect's job is to require full advantage of the location they're operating with. during this South African home from the field team at SAOTA, that was even additional of a challenge than traditional. the location of this beautiful single family house options spectacular views of the Atlantic, Camps Bay, and also the Twelve Apostles, however additionally steeply inclined land. so as to create tier area in order that there would be space to measure well, the architects elevated the most level and set the bottom floor into the facet of the slope. the various segments of the look ar then connected by a glass bridge that lets lightweight in from the North, into the bedrooms and customary areas. The ensuing home appearance as if it tracks on the natural slope of the bottom, melding stunning with the natural surroundings whereas still making its own stunning silhouette.
With a landscape as desirable as this, there's no doubt that out of
doors areas were a priority within the style. the house is constructed
around a central, secure terrace whereas full height slippy windows open
up onto a generous pool deck and family circle levels.
The main living areas themselves flow along, every leading towards the most terrace. which means the rec room, lounge, kitchen, and feeding space ar every on the south finish of the house, with views of the spacious pool deck and its eternity pool.
Entertaining could be a treat within the beautiful personal bar that's placed within the diversion space.
Visitors to the house ar absolute to be instantly affected. a collection
of beautiful concrete stairs leads up to a colossal entrance hall
wherever they encounter a custom water feature yet as slivers of the

Spouse's birthday will fall on our last night in Paris. We have been before and love the city and just planned to walk and take it all in this time - no hectic sightseeing. Without knowing anything about us, I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas for a nice birthday surprise, whether it be a special event at one of the landmark locales, or just a nice hidden unexpected gem. We are pretty simple people and just enjoy the people, sights, sounds, tastes of the city. We are staying in the 9th arrondissement.
- no specific financial considerations
- dressing fancy will probably not be doable, we'll be traveling very light
- thinking about trying to have our hotel help me out, perhaps with surprise breakfast in bed?
- private boat ride on Seine?
- any areas/events that a tourist would not typically think of, even if off the beaten path?
Many thanks.
Paris romantic surprise - any ideas?

Paris is always a romantic place, celebrating birthdays, giving surprises there will be a sweet memory. Cheers!

IMHO the dinner cruis have really awful food. While the cruise is nice much better to do a decent dinner afterwards,
Not sure of your interests - but I would look for a ballet, concert or opera that might be really fun. Paris often has intereting film festivals (specific director or genre - that could meet your needs). -

Volte, it's about time you stopped trying to advertise your services here and on Trip Advisor. You've already been thrown off there. Your ideas aren't any good, anyway. Who in their right mind would spend 900 euros for a silly ride in a limo and a dinner cruise?
For the OP, check out www.whatsonwhen.com and see if there's something special going on you both might enjoy. Maybe check out Au Lapin Agile in Montmartre. -

For the romantic side, breakfast in bed sounds good.
For me, as we are usually in Paris for my birthday, it would be a nice dinner and a walk along the Seine.
Now, I'll go way out on a limb here---for the fun side!
Dancing along the Seine. Here's Kerouac's take on it:
This something we've always said we would try on our Paris trips. We just haven't got to it yet. We like to take a late night cruise on Vedettes from the Pont Neuf and have seen the dancers from the boat and commented on how fun it looks.
As you can see, no dress code and all ages are there.
Definitely off the beaten path of normal tourist activities and it definitely would be a surprise! -
Report Abuse
Some people don't particularly like breakfast in bed, I don't. I don't think that is much of a birthday present, either, actually. I don't see any mention of when this is, so it's hard to give any suggestions as to events. Also, the weather could matter, some things would be inappropriate in winter.
For example, I would love a night out with a concert at the Olympia which is very near your hotel, or the Rex. Actually, I love music and dance so would like most any special concert or dance performance. A concert at the Theatre de Champs Elysees is always nice for classical music, beautiful art deco theater.
Some people like those candlelight concerts at Sainte Chapelle. If you don't listen to classical music much, you might like it (I wouldn't recommend it for someone who goes to a lot of classical music concerts as the repertoire isn't anything special). -

Leave wingfavolte alone - some of the advice is so ridiculous it will scare folks away from his/her website/services

So then Christina, best not to ever travel to Paris with TPAYT and risk being subjected to something as undesirable as breakfast in bed.

If the weather is nice, consider a picnic. Maybe your hotel could provide some kind of sheet or blanket. There are lots of places you can get a baguette, cheese, ham, wine. And don't forget the patisserie!!
At the very tip of Isle de la Cite (next to Vedettes du Pont Neuf) there's a tiny little park. You can sit out there watching the boats pass on each side of you. I've been there a couple of times and there was hardly anyone there. It would be a lovely spot for a picnic.
Pull up Google Images for Square du Vert Galant Paris -

There is even some romantic history, of a sort, related to the Square du Vert Galant. Henry IV was a womanizer, and had many mistresses even in his old age. The Park is named after his nickname at the time, i.e., Vert Galant

TPAYT: Thanks for posting that info about the dancing. What a fun link!
I've often noticed (in the evening) the music coming from a boat tethered beneath Pont de la Archeveche, right behind Notre Dame. The top deck is decorated with string lights. And there are dancers. But I never realized it was all along the quai! Indeed, it is sooooo romantic!!! -

I love breakfast in bed and it could be a simple coffee and croissant. Take me shopping to buy a pair of repettos. http://www.repetto.fr/ Your in Paris for your Birthday, wonderful enough but you know her taste and your budget.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Anyone know anything about the hammam scene in Paris? I've never been to one, but I thought it could be a nice relaxing present?
And, in general, are all the "famous" restaurants (e.g. La Tour D'Argent, Le Georges, Jules Verne) going to require reservations months in advance? Are they worth it in your opinion (both for ambiance/romance, and for food)?
Thanks. -

Another thought... might be interested in taking a single beginner level tango class in a light-hearted atmosphere (with an instructor that speaks English!)... anyone know of anything that exists like this?
Report Abuse
Sorry - just Googled the tango thing... saw the Quai St. Bernard open air dancing thing... does this go away in October? Site says it is during the summer, until end of September.
Report Abuse
Just returned from two (wonderful) weeks in Paris, and the tango at Tito Rossi is, indeed, over for the year.
You might be interested in this, if you can work it in: Every Sunday morning from 11:30 to 1:00, there is music and dancing and and singing at the foot of the Rue Mouffetard in the Latin Quarter. I'm not suggesting it should be your romantic centerpiece, but it's a really fun thing to watch/do. (All are invited to sing and/or dance, or you can just be a spectator.) We just love it.
Not sure how far into the autumn this tradition continues.... -
Report Abuse
It wouldn't be a surprise but our romantic tradition is to end everyday with a glass of champagne (OK, or a bottle....or two).
Report Abuse
As I did not see where you specifically mention this must be a romantic surprise what about a Segway tour or book one of the Fat Bike Tours if you both like fun activity.

Have a a lock engraved with both your initials with a heart or initials and anniversary date or date of trip...then place in a pretty bag or box and present it at the bridge of locks.

@Shadow, I got corrected on this, the bridges are getting so heavy from the weight of all the locks and they are not recommended.

Finally, as the world's nations meet in Bali for what is almost certainly their last shot at beginning to avert catastrophic global warming, there are signs that Britain and the United States are starting to measure up to the immensity of the task. Our exclusive top story today reveals that business secretary, John Hutton - after trying to block a much needed expansion of renewable energy in Britian, and being smartly rapped over the knuckles by Gordon Brown for his pains - will announce one of the world's biggest exopansions of windpower. And the news from the United States - which has so far combined the farsightedness of an ostrich and with the flexibility of a mule in its approach to climate change - is, if anything, even more startling: as we also report, both houses of Congress - long seen as an obstacle to action - are driving forward measures that would put the country in its rightful place in the lead of then international effort to head off disaster. And under the pressure even President Bush's instransigence is begning to crack.
None of this comes a moment too soon. In fact it is desperately late. The accumulating scientific evidence, which seems to get more alarming by the day, shows that global warming is proceeding further and faster than anyone expecteed or than the scientists ever predicted. The accepted wisdom for the last two years has been that we have less than a decade in which to start drastic action to start cutting emisisons of greenhouse gases by a massive 80 per cent by 2050. Two years of that decade have now gone, and it looks as if even that timescale may be overoptimistic if we are to keep the heating of the planet at or below two degrees centigrade above the level in which human civilsations have formed and flourished - the threshold above which truly catastrophic changes are expecetd to take place. Yet the lumbering process of international negotations is nowhere near being up to the job. The best we can hope for in Bali is an agreement on a roadmap for future talks; the best eventual outcome a new - more radical - international treaty to be agreed at the end of 2009. Then world simply cannot afford to wait for this. Heavy polluters will have to take immediate action. And that is why last week's developments in Britain and the United States are so necessary, and so welcome.
Britain has long talked a good game over climate change, but performed on the field with a laziness and lack of commitment that would shame even the paralytic performance of England's footballers against Croatia. Tony Blair did indeed do well in raising the international profile of the issue but under his watch the country's carbon dioxide emissions actually increased. Gordon Brown gave an excellent speech on the subject last month - full of bold vision and concrete commitments - but then promptly annunced the construction of a third runway at Heathrow. Ten days ago the UN's most prestigious publication, The Human Development Report, exploded ministers' oft-repeated claim to lead the world in action over climate change. Indeed it singled Britain out for particular, forensic criticism and - in passing - made it abundantly clear that the Climate Change Bill before Parliament does not go far enough.
Nothing in this sorry story has been so shameful as Britain's failure to exploit renewable energy. Its winds, waves and tides make up the richest resource of non-polluting power in Europe, yet we are second to bottom of the continental league table in expoliting it. For decades a recalcitrant, blindly pro-nuclear treacle layer in the old Department of Tade and Industy frustrated all attempts to expand it properly. Just weeks ago they were at it again - reincarnated in John Hutton's department- lobbying to scrap European targets for renewables on the grounds that they would impede the advance of the atom. Gordon Brown did well to face them down and insist that Britain retained and met the targets.He has done even better in following through, first with plans to exploit all forms of tidal energy - announced in last month's green speech - and now with setting in motion this expansion of offshore wind. This is more like the Gordon Brown we thought we were getting this summer, before this autumn's wobbles and weaknesses.
In the US the last excuse for inaction has melted away. For the last decade Congressional opposition to action has been paraded as the ultimate deterrent. To some extent that has been the case, though it has been overblown: the Senate's famous 1997 unanimous resolution against an international treatry that did not include developing countries was a warning shot during the negotiations leading up to Kyoton not, as almost always presented, a rejection of the agreed Protocol. But at any rate the excuse is now blown. With both houses of Congress pressing for action, 26 state governments taking often radical individual measures, top businesses pressing for change, and public opinion crying out for it, stringent steps are now politically as well as scientifically essential. Over to you, Mr Bush.

Our summer plans changed and I have to withdraw my child, can I get a refund?
Strengthening programs at the elementary level are non-refundable. At the secondary level, they are refundable only if a student signed up for a credit bearing class that s/he passed during the year and no longer needs to take, or if a student signed up for new work for credit class and needs to be moved to a strengthening class (qualifies for a partial refund). Elementary enrichment and high school new work withdrawals are eligible for a refund (less a $100 cancellation fee) only if one of the three following criteria is met: 1) student illness with a doctor's note, 2) death in the immediate family, 3) transfer of residence outside of Arlington.

Registration opens March 5. The first deadline is April 10 for elementary enrichment, the second deadline is May 8 for elementary strengthening and high school new work, and the third deadline is for secondary strengthening. All deadlines are firm and absolute.

Are there specific requirements for the elementary and middle school strengthening programs?
At the elementary level, only students who are failing a course or who previously failed an SOL are eligible to register for the Math Language Arts Program.

Man jailed for £40m gems raid
A man was jailed for 21 years today for his role in Britain's biggest jewellery heist.
Craig Calderwood, 28, was the fifth person to be convicted over the Graff Jewellers robbery in London's Mayfair which saw £40 million of gems stolen at gunpoint.
Despite four other convictions the jewellery has not been found.
Police believe the raid was part of a sophisticated plan that was co-ordinated from the outside.
The investigation is still ongoing for other members of the robbery gang.
Scotland Yard said Calderwood was convicted of conspiring together with others to rob Graff Jewellers between August 3 and August 7 2009 and possessing a firearm during the robbery on August 6.
He was found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court after a jury was unable to reach a verdict in a first trial in July 2010.
Detective Chief Inspector Pam Mace, who has been leading the investigation, said: "This latest conviction is a successful conclusion to this part of what remains an ongoing investigation.
"I'd like to thank all the victims and witnesses who supported us throughout this prosecution despite the fact that it has meant reliving this violent incident.
"We have always said these individuals were recruited by others to commit the actual robbery.
"I would like to use this opportunity to remind anyone, including people from the criminal fraternity, that there is a reward of one million pounds for information given in connection with the identification, arrest and prosecution of the person(s) responsible, and the recovery of the stolen property."
In June 2010, Calderwood's accomplice, Aman Kassaye, 25, was convicted of kidnap, conspiracy to rob and possessing a firearm.
In the weeks following, three other men - Thomas Thomas, 46, Solomun Beyene, 25, and Clinton Mogg, 43 - were convicted of conspiracy to rob.
Police watched CCTV footage from inside the jewellery shop of Calderwood and Kassaye entering the store to carry out the robbery.
The pair are later seen fleeing the scene, with Calderwood escaping in a blue BMW and Kassaye running off.
After the convictions in 2010, police offered a reward of up to £1 million, which remains today, for information to help them trace a motorcyclist suspected of making off with the jewellery haul.
It is believed the accomplice was passed a black plastic bin bag containing the gems moments after the record heist at the prestigious Mayfair store.
But the biker was forced to abandon his gold-coloured Suzuki SV650 when it broke down a short distance away in Berkeley Square.
The mystery rider, who never removed his helmet, was part of a carefully planned plot which included blocking vehicles and numerous changes of getaway car to help the robbers escape.
Detectives scoured hundreds of hours of CCTV in a bid to trace the suspect's escape route through central London.
But they lost track of him after he walked into the 16-hectare Green Park, a short distance from Buckingham Palace.
Police are urging anyone who has any information about the robbery to contact them on 020 8247 4804 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Type of Butterbeans grown in South Alabama
Marilyn28August 16, 2013
I am originally from Alabama but now live in North Carolina. I had family members in South Alabama that grow a butterbean that turned a dark grey when cooked. They also grew the green ones, but i liked the ones they called colored butter beans the best. I have tried to find them in North Carolina, but nobody seems to know what I'm talking about.
Can anyone tell me the actual name of this bean?

Anyone care to share the names of any ebay sellers selling 2nds?
