SunDog Resurrection NEWS UPDATE - August 6, 2012 Greetings all! This is Terofal77, the graphics designer of the Sundog Resurrection project, and the last remaining active member of the original team that was assembled in 2002-2003, tasked by Bruce Webster to bring Sundog to life for handheld PDAs. (Remember those things?) Well, I am very pleased to report that AN ALPHA OF THE SUNDOG: RESURRECTION GAME IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED! Yes, you read that right! Please visit the project website, http://SundogResurrectionProject.com for more information. You have probably seen this website before - I used it as the primary platform during the past five or six years to showcase the SD:R project graphics and news updates, as the project gravitated away from the Sourceforge system and took on a more organic development process. The website has been renovated and now is focused on the impending release of the game. I'll update the rest of this SF website to reflect the news as well.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction possessed limited powers through its first century of existence. In 1849, the Superintendent of Public Instruction was tasked with school inspections, curriculum recommendations and distribution of revenues from public land sales. Authority over teacher licensing, curriculum development and assessment fell to county superintendents into the early 20th century. The Wisconsin State Legislature authorized the department to license state teachers in 1939. The department gained authority over special education in 1947 and high school graduation requirements in 1983.[4]
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction published a statement of agency responsibility in the 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book:[4]
" | The Department of Public Instruction provides direction and technical assistance for public elementary and secondary education in Wisconsin. The department offers a broad range of programs and professional services to local school administrators and staff. It distributes state school aids and administers federal aids to supplement local tax resources, improves curriculum and school operations, ensures education for children with disabilities, offers professional guidance and counseling, and develops school and public library resources.[5] | " |

LTZ_POLY: This feature class represents BLM Land Tenure Zones (LTZ) for Oregon and Washington, areas (zones) on BLM lands as Retention/Acquisition, Exchange, or Disposal of lands under BLM jurisdiction. The LTZ polygons do not identify actual acquisition or disposal actions, but rather the zones of potential land tenure adjustment as determined through the land use planning process. All BLM lands are covered by these zones. For detailed information on individual parcels contact the relevant BLM Oregon district staff. This data conforms to the 'Land Tenure Zones Spatial Data Standard 20131130. 'http://www.blm.gov/or/datamanagement/index.php'

Internal feature number.
Attribute values: Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Attribute definition source:
Feature geometry.
Attribute values: Coordinates defining the features.
Attribute definition source:
The official name of the LUP, whether final, in progress, or historic. The LUP names are a subset of the larger PLANID domain.
Attribute definition source:
A combination of the BLM administrative state and field office which has administrative responsibility for the spatial entity. This includes which office covers the entity for planning purposes and which office is the lead for GIS edits. Another agency or individual may have the physical management responsibility for the on-the-ground entity. This field applies particularly when a spatial entity crosses resource area or district boundaries and the administrative responsibility is assigned to one or the other rather than splitting the spatial unit. Similarly, OR/WA BLM may have administrative responsibility over some area that is physically located in Nevada, Idaho, and California and vice versa. When appropriate, the office can be identified only to the district or state level rather than to the resource area level. The domain listing for this attribute is too lengthy to list here. Consult the data standard for this data or contact the OR BLM data steward for the domain listing. A domain listing may also be found at this website.http://www.blm.gov/or/datamanagement/index.php

GIS_ACRES is calculated when the submitted polygon is approved for incorporation into the dataset. The standard spatial reference of Geographic (NAD 1983) cannot be used for calculating acres so the features are projected to one of three projections as determined by the BLM_ORG_CD of the record. These three projections all utilize linear units of meters, so the ESRI Geodatabase-controlled field SHAPE.AREA can be used to convert to acres with the factor based on the U.S. Survey Foot: GIS_ACRES = SHAPE.AREA * 0.0002471044; District indicated by BLM_ORG_CD: ESRI Projection used: Prineville NAD 1983 USFS R6 Albers; Coos Bay, Eugene, Lakeview, Medford, Roseburg, Salem NAD 1983 UTM Zone 10N; Burns, Spokane, Vale NAD 1983 UTM Zone 11N

Metadata Standards
Description of the metadata standard used to document the data and reference to any additional extended profiles to the standard used by the metadata producer.
Standard name: FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata
Standard version: FGDC-STD-001-1998
Time convention: local time
FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.0
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well.
The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
Instructions: On the top of the page, click on the title of the dataset to toggle opening and closing of all metadata content sections or click section links listed horizontally below the title to open individual sections. Click on a section name (e.g. Description) to open and close section content. Within a section, click on a item name (Status, Key Words, etc.) to open and close individual content items. By default, the Citation information within the Description section is always open for display.
Download: FGDC Plus Stylesheet is available from the ArcScripts downloads at www.esri.com.

Allen, Tim and Stremlau, Nicole (2005) Media policy, peace and state reconstruction. Crisis States Research Centre discussion papers, 8. Crisis States Research Centre, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.
Download (914Kb) | Preview |
This paper begins by identifying and discussing the current prevailing liberal policy towards the media's role in 'peace-making' and 'peace-building'. It then proceeds to assess whether this has been an effective or ineffective approach, and concludes by suggesting ways in which the debate can be reframed or expanded. In brief, it is argued that laissez-faire policies towards media development in societies that are in the process of resolving violent conflicts are unlikely to be the best option. While recognising that proposing censorship is problematic and controversial, the paper argues that there have to be restrictions on material that is divisive and inflammatory - although this inevitably raises questions of who should decide what is unacceptable and on what basis.

superbird6bbl 5pts I have a 2011 Challenger SRT8 auto. I took it to the Drag strip 2 weeks ago for Test & Tune. It is only an 1/8th. mile, but estimates can be made for 1/4 mile times. Box stock including original tires and 5,200 miles on car. 1.81 short times and 8.07, 8.08, & 8.06 ET's with a best of 88 mph. I have the time slips at home with the specific numbers. The car was pulling like gang busters the last quarter of the track.
Eugen Eftodiev 5pts how is that coming that Chrysler 300C does the 0-60 in 4.5 and Challenger SRT8 does it in 4.6?? Challenger is lighter and has the same engine
ROYME55 5pts If you compare the 392 to the GT500 you should watch on Youtube "2011 Challenger 392 mountain road test". The tester says what I have said all along. The Mustang is a pony car and the Challenger is a grand tour with a muscle car personality. The thing is that the GT, up here in Canada optioned out with what the 392 has, comes in at $69K to under $56K for the 392. I think I can live with 12.44 @ 110.75 in the 1/4 for $14K. You can check those numbers also on youtube "392 drags". As a bonus I get a fairly usable back seat and a trunk.
jasonconaway 5pts Edmunds got 12.6 at 111.1 MPH..Thats with the Auto trans and a 3.06 gear,and lots of tire spin with the traction control on. Camaro SS??????HA! Go ahead and add a Supercharger..thats what its going to take!
MoonPie 5pts Wow, I posted faster times in my stock G8 GXP four door. A coupe that can't beat that is weak sauce.
stanczyk 5pts Folks ! calm down, Look at Mercedes AMG series , find one that weights the same as Challanger ... and look at their 0-60 times, they can't cross 4 sec barier either..
stanczyk 5pts Well done MOPAR !Ford and Chevy have pony-cars (Camro will get smaller engine soon, and Mustang has only 5.0 L:), but this is modern full-size Charger(it's brave to increase HEMI size in these eco-crazy times (Torque is impressive), Bravo ! :) The only concern is about sales, really pitty that this car is so low volume .....Smoke'em while You've got'emLong live Modern Muscle :)
moheadedhillbilly 5pts so exactly how far from infineon is LA just saying they had the car at the show so why not?
zigpig 5pts Considering I own a 2007 Charger SRT-8 (therefore not biased at all, I love my car), I would still call BS on the 12.4. The 392 ISN'T even available yet! What you are seeing is most likely the CRATE motor (392) that you can order from Mopar, swapped into a Challenger. I wish it were true. Remember the crate one makes 525 hp, vs the stock new 392's 470. That'll explain your 12.4 quarter mile. Just saying.
moheadedhillbilly 5pts hey anyone that dont believe the post about the challenger running 12.4 look at 392drags on youtube. the proofs in the pudding.
moheadedhillbilly 5pts wow never saw that one before. that must mean that all supercharged mustangs are faster than all challengers. i was under the impression you were talking about the supercar shootout that had the 570hp challenger against the 700hp mustang and camaro. my bad. see i dont care to admit when im wrong. but the challenger 392 is still an awesome car, and the youtube video proves some test drivers cant drive.
fox1x 5pts Did you even watch the YouTube video? Why are you saying I'm comparing a 570HP Challenger to a 700 Varient of the competition? In the video, scroll ahead to time 0:46. It shows the stats, a 725HP supercharged Challenger vs a 725HP supercarged Mustang. They are both 725HP, how is that unfair? Please explain. And here's the link again: youtube.com/watch?v=ZiaO-uaHQD8
moheadedhillbilly 5pts I just watched the video on you tube, 392drags, it is at infineon raceway and the 392 goes 12.44 @109 gotta see it. WOW!!!!!!! really not bad for street tires and that huge amount of weight.
moheadedhillbilly 5pts o.k then fox1x, i never did get a reply from you about the test with the superchargers. i replied to you saying that the comparison you were talking about pitted a 570 hp challenger against the 700 hp variants of the competition. thats a real fare test dont you think. like putting one of the 700 hp cars against the nitro burning hemis in top fuel drag racing. no brainier not a comparison at all. and i never said anything negative to you at all until you mentioned my punctuation thanks.
klapper 5pts "...Makes less HP per cubic inch then the 2011 5.0..."(fox1x)Completely irrelevent metric. The Mustang 5.0 would be lighter, faster, cheaper to manufacture and more fuel efficient with a GM LS3 engine. Yet the GM engine has less power per cubic inch.
fox1x 5pts I never once made a statement why the GT500/Z28 is being compared to the SRT8. Maybe you should ask the guys that made the statement not me. The only reference I made to the supercharged application was to show the links to both a supercharged Challenger vs a supercharged Mustang (both cars having blowers) Again, I never once mentioned why they[Z28/GT500] are being compared. Maybe you should ask those posters who made the statements. And you are the one wo started with personal attaks, then act like "I'm changing the subject" when I point it out. Typical deflection of the point. You made the statement of personal attacks first, not me.
moheadedhillbilly 5pts o an attack, if you need help reading your dad may be a good place to get help. once again subject changed i wonder seriously can you read, is there a problem with the question? let me try again, WHY DO THE FORD AND CHEVY GUYS WANT TO PUT THIS CHALLANGER AGAINST THE GT500 AND Z28 WHICH NO ONE HAS? price i don't think is a good reason. I can build a car of any brand,that will spank any of the three mentioned for alot less money. So lets hear it. whats the answer to the question i have repeatedly asked? or would you rather attack me for my grammer?
fox1x 5pts And I notice you deleted you comment that had the personal attack in it (the daddy statment) Any reason why you deleted that?
fox1x 5pts Change the subeject? Elaborate please. Let me sum it up. Dodge Challenger SRT8 392: -Costs more then a 2011 Mustang 5.0 by $10,000 -Is slower to 60MPH then a 2011 Mustang 5.0 -Takes longer to brake (distance) then a 2011 5.0 -Is slower through the 1/4 mile then a 2011 5.0 -Gets worse gas mileage then a 2011 5.0 -Has worse sales then a 2011 5.0 -Has worse skidpad numbers then a 2011 5.0 -Makes less HP per cubic inch then the 2011 5.0
moheadedhillbilly 5pts and by the way fox1x thanks. i know i represent well. i stick with the subject, and if you would like to have a proper discussion, i'm up to the challange!!!
moheadedhillbilly 5pts fox1x your pretty pitiful every post i make you change the subject. so lets try again, i think its a shame that the ford and chevy guys want to put the challenger against their supercharged competitors. yes the price is radical,i will be the first to admit that. but to put a naturally aspired car against supercharged ones, just because the price is close? i don't get it. and to me srtchallenger-man got it right someone just can't drive. hope my punctuation helps you out.
fox1x 5pts You represent the mopar fans very well, keep it up. You just reinforce the streotypes perfectly.
fox1x 5pts I would try to respond to your comment; however, there are no periods and I'm still trying to decipher what you just said.
fox1x 5pts I think you're just upset because your poor selling $47,xxx heavy pig of a muscle car gets whomped on by car costing 1/3 less and having less motor.Even when you add a supercharger to a Challenger it still gets whomped on by the competition. Ever see this supercharged Chally: youtube.com/watch?v=ZiaO-uaHQD8Or, how about this Epic Challenger fail: motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1006_2010_sms_supercars_sms_570_challenger_test/index.html
ImportsmasherSS 5pts mohead....LOl your argument is just sad first off Gm is crushing Chysler and Ford in sales this year it's not even close. Second The Camaro ss and Mustang GT run with this all day with smaller N/A engines in the mid level Modals this is a TOP OF THE LINE ALMOST 50K SRT modal and it's no faster then SS or the Gt how is that something to brag about?
fox1x 5pts What does it matter if a manufacturer uses power adders? Isn't the point to get from Point A to point B faster then the competition? And it would be hypocrisy to say Chrysler doesn't use power adders. Wasn't the performance oriented SRT Neon boosted? Isn't the current SRT Caliber boosted? And even the naturally aspirated 5.0 on the Ford is 80 cubic inches smaller and running identical (if not faster times) then this SRT Challenger. So how can you quote: "my statement was the fact chrysler doesn't use the power adders like superchargers or turbos on these modern muscle cars to get there numbers they do it right naturally" ????
fox1x 5pts @ moheadedhillbilly If what you said were true, people would actually buy their products in volume. But they don't. Chevy and Ford outsell them in Silverado's, F150's, Mustangs, Camaros, etc. Your statement:" lets face it chrysler does what the others can't and they do it with style" is fail.
konecsra 5pts Our neigbour's kid brought out his dad's 08 Challenger RT to challenge my son's 96 215 hp 4.6 Mustang GT with 4.11's.The Challenger lost. All credibility that this Challenger will run a 12.4 is gone out the window. Besides, I would still rather have the 2011 Mustang 5.0 that runs faster and gets decent fuel mileage with what, 87 cubic inches less motor?
old911nut 5pts I prefer smaller, lighter, more nimble cars myself. But I congratulate Dodge on getting the styling right on this. The headlight and tail light treatment is spot on. The proportions are good. For such a massive car, they've really managed to get it right. The Mustang on the otherhand, is smaller and lighter, but manages to look large and ungainly.
klapper 5pts "...I don't understand how they could think this car can run 12.4 @ 115 it's just not possible without drag slicks!..."Actually the time was in very good air but was 12.44 at 110.7 mph.
renoboy74 5pts I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!! THIS CAR ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DODGE IS REALLY HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!!!
ImportsmasherSS 5pts Ok Dodge boys calm down! This car has a power to weigh ratio of 9lbs per h.p the exact same as the Camaro SS. Your 12.4-12.5 claims are just dumb that is Cts-v numbers and that weighs the same and has 86 more h.p and 80 more tq GET REAL! 12.9-13.0 is just about right for the power to weigh ratio. I don't understand how they could think this car can run 12.4 @ 115 it's just not possible without drag slicks!
jsd512 5pts LT1Boy,Over at challengertalk.com, they posted the time slips. There were a couple of members there that talked to the guy who was driving, it ran consistent 12.40s-12.50s. I am sorry if this disappoints you, but the Challenger is a nice car. The guys here are as less-minded than the ones on youtube. The car tested here was a six speed, the ones that ran 12.40s-12.50s were autos. 114MPH from C&D is a mid 12 all day. You guys need to just accept it and move on, please. My god the internet would be a much better place if people could not post their comments.
klapper 5pts LT1Boy:For some reason it won't accept my cut and paste. The message is something to the effect cannot accept your post at this time try again.It's under "2nd Gen LX models 2011 - ", "General LX discussion (2nd gen)", and one page back under "Good version of '11 392 Chally drag race video".Hope that helps.
LT1Boy 5pts @klapper"The "good" version of the video is over at LXforums. It has it's own thread title to that effect. The number is 12.446/110.72."Just went to the forum and searched. No such thread exists.Is a link so hard to post, really?Copy. Then paste. That's all there is to it.On a side note. There IS a video of the new 392 Challenger running a 1/4 mile on YouTube. But it's really crappy - only half the screen is shown. It takes over a full minute before the run takes place. And the video cuts short before the time is displayed, thereby providing zero proof of a 12.4 run. And the only info given is what the author posted, which isn't credible in the slightest.
1996impala 5pts I'm looking forward to seeing one of these at the drag-way. I'm sure I'll see better ET's from this car if it's driven by Dodge enthusiast.
Bruceleroy81 5pts This car is what I would call the center of attention. As long as the body and the wheels are kept stock.. But man-o-man this thing looks sweet!!!No disrespect to the Germans, but you can park a Benz, a Bimmer, an Audi, or a Lexus around this car, and this SRT8 will still catch more attention and more Respect for what it is. Golly I'm soo glad the Muscle car era is finally BACK!!!
thetransamkid 5pts Wasn't there supposed to be an eight speed automatic? What the hell happened to it?
klapper 5pts "...Provide a link and then we will believe..."The "good" version of the video is over at LXforums. It has it's own thread title to that effect. The number is 12.446/110.72.Hopefully you at least agree this 392 is one great engine. Chrysler couldn't afford to build the Challenger on a newer lighter RWD platform, but the engineering they did with what is basically a full size 4 door platform should be given some credit.
TrueAmerican 5pts At the end of the day, it all comes down to your own personal taste. Each muscle car is amazing in it's own way. I love all three.For corner carving I'd take a Mustang. For comfort, straight-line fun, and the best V8 soundtrack I'd take the Challenger. And for style with an essence of both cornering and straight-line performance, I'd take the Camaro...
608gamer07 5pts @klapperProvide a link and then we will believe. C&D did a 12.9 so I call BS on 12.44. A fully prepped super stock drag challenger (weighing a good 300lbs less than this) with 450hp 450lb-ft barely managed a 12.5 with slicks so prove it.Even if you do prove it the car would still be easily whooped on a track (yes with turns) by the Mustang GT or even the Camaro.
klapper 5pts I get tired of all the snotty comments. This is a great engine and whatever you say about the excess weight of the Challenger, that remains true. Both the Camaro SS and Mustang 5.0 would be a LOT faster with this 392 Hemi under the hood (and no more expensive, probably less so for the Mustang since it's a much more complex engine to manufacture). Look at how flat the torque curve is and give credit where credit is due.
klapper 5pts "...Uh.. I just took a look. Not a single video out there showing the new 392 Challenger running a 12.4. You can stop your lying now..."Actually it was 12.44, at Infineon. Another run at 12.50. Admittedly on a good air night. This car is faster than 13.0, make no doubt of that. Let's get some apples to apples comparisons (same air, same driver, same track etc.). I look forward to the results.On a related topic, I'm wondering how one of these 392 Hemis would pull my son's '73 318 Dart.
LT1Boy 5pts What a disappointment. $45k starting, and the best it can do is 12.9 - 13.0 in the quarter? Really? I hate to beat on a dead horse, but I'd rather take a Mustang GT or a Camaro SS over this anyday, performance wise.And to the people commenting about the 392 running 12.4's all over YouTube...Uh.. I just took a look. Not a single video out there showing the new 392 Challenger running a 12.4. You can stop your lying now.Also, the RT that was tested a couple weeks ago had strikingly similar performance numbers to this SRT8. Skidpad? Both 0.89g. Braking? 112ft vs 117ft, the RT actually stops shorter. Figure 8 is 25.9 vs 25.6, which means the SRT8 is only marginally quicker, even though it packs nearly 75 horses more. And for 75 horses more, you'd expect more than a 0.5 second gap in the 1/4 mile.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts I'm still looking forward to the first test of a V6 Challenger since I won't buy another V8 muscle car, not when our current administration has doomed us to $5 a gallon gas (and possibly far more by late in the decade) with its' laughable energy policy (banning offshore drilling until at least 2017). I look forward to the performance specs of the V6 model and wonder how it will measure up to the base Mustang and Camaro models.
zigpig 5pts I hate retards like AutoMax. Does your dad know you are playing on his computer? Your thunder dragon? Wow. Grow up kid! !ork hard, actually BUY a car someday, and then comment on here.
zigpig 5pts If it lost 500 lbs and had a newly revamped interior like the rest of the new Dodge's it would be perfect.

Joshua Carr hasn't performed on stage for five years. He's been busy working behind the scenes. But now, he will return to the role of Josh in the Tustin Light Opera's "A Big Band Christmas," a role he played about 12 years ago. Carr and partner, Ray Limon, run the production company LimonCarr Productionsand the Tustin Light Opera.
Q. What brought you back to the stage?
A. I got so involved in the production side. I just kind of missed it. This show has the original cast from 12 years ago. I play the role of Josh. It's set up like a 1940s live radio show. It opens with a big band and four singers on mikes with an announcement about a live, on-the-air broadcast to the boys overseas. It has fake commercials and letters from families to those overseas. We perform swing music and four tight harmonies, '40s-sounding songs, solos, duets and tap numbers.
Q. Why did you write the show?
A. I was tired of seeing the same old stale Christmas shows, so I decided to write something different. Big band was making a comeback. It just kind of evolved with four original actors. Ray (Limon) directed it and we have added things and changed, so there's some new material.
Q. What's it like being onstage again?
A. It's fun and I'm glad I'm doing it with my three buddies that started it all. We had someone else cast, but he got a role at the Civic Light Opera so it was easier to put me in it.
Q. What is your favorite part?
A. Singing again. I haven't sung onstage or in a show for so long. I teach voice too. It's difficult reminding yourself of the energy. The best part is getting on stage and connecting with the audience.
Q. What are some of the songs in the show?
A. "Winter Wonderland," "The Christmas Story," "Sleigh Ride," "Silent Night," "Jingle Bells," all arranged to big band arrangements. It has the feel and sound of the '40s era.
Q. What should people know about the show?
A. I think it's important with the Tustin Light Opera that we're trying to create family friendly, affordable professional theater. We try to keep expenses down and the nonprofit Theatrical Productions Inc. gets sponsors to underwrite part of the cost and donate tickets to youth organizations. We do free musical theater workshops for kids. That part was created 22 years ago. We try to get kids involved through seeing productions or training and getting them on the stage. "Peter Pan" is their opportunity, as lost boys, pirates, Indians, doing the flying.
We're billing it as our home for the holidays because we finally found our home in Tustin and at Beckman High School. I think people in the community will get behind it now because they realize we're associated with Broadway in the Park. This is our work in an indoor facility - you don't sit on grass.
Q. Do your dogs perform as well?
A. My dog Hardee has been Toto in the "Wizard of Oz," and in "Anything Goes." He's trained.
Q. Is there anything else you'd like people to know?
A. The show is under two hours with an intermission. There's a seating chart online so people can see their seats. We did a rousing chorus of "God Bless America," during which the audience went crazy and got up on their feet and crossed their hands over their hearts and it was so moving we thought we had to keep it in.

In Basic, code is documented in one of two ways:
- The REM statement
- an Apostrophe: (')
Either of these two methods will result in treating the rest of the line as a comment.
As with most forms of code documentation, it needs to be used as programs grow larger and to help identify the purpose of a given section of code. It is unnecessary to document every individual line, but should give enough information such as the purpose of a given function or why a certain statement may be needed.
Example 1 (qBasic)
CLS 10 PRINT "Hello World!" 20 REM This code will display Hello World! TO the display. 30 END
Example 2 (freeBasic)
print "Hello World!" 'This code will display Hello World! on the screen sleep end
This will allow you to create a Remark statement that will not be visable to the user, but will be visable when the code is reiewed.

Sparsity-motivated automatic target recognition |
Applied Optics, Vol. 50, Issue 10, pp. 1425-1433 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (969 KB)
We present an automatic target recognition algorithm using the recently developed theory of sparse representations and compressive sensing. We show how sparsity can be helpful for efficient utilization of data for target recognition. We verify the efficacy of the proposed algorithm in terms of the recognition rate and confusion matrices on the well known Comanche (Boeing–Sikorsky, USA) forward-looking IR data set consisting of ten different military targets at different orientations.

concept maps / mental models
Here are two examples of Concept Maps from a quick google.
Concept Maps are an established technique within pedagogy (well, it has its
supporters, who are probably not very well supported). I believe the idea is
that if a student has true understanding of a domain area, they will be able
to construct a coherent concept map on the blackboard, whereas being able to
answer fill in the blank questions proves very little.
The circles are connected and the connections are also labled. For
interactive products, I imagine a lot of typical container and inheritence
relationships would be common. [friends] ARE A TYPE OF [contact]. the
address book [CONTAINS] contacts.
Hugh Dubberly once made a useful point about there being two types of
representation: static and dynamic. In a static representation of baseball,
you diagram the players, bases, field, equipment, etc. In a dynamic
representation, you can make a flow chart of innings, plays, outs, strikes,
pitches, etc.
I think it is probably difficult to represent the static (concept map,
sitemap) and dynamic (task flow, scenario) on one sheet of paper. But I culd
imagine some useful cross reference, or even some kind of software tool.
Something like Director or FinalCutPro that has a sense of frames and
objects in a frame. Or like when they show a chess play as a sequence of
chess boards. What is the user seeing-thinking-doing at each step of a task.

Hi, I'm an independent Free Software/Open Source programmer, mostly interested in educational technology and developing serious video games (games used beyond simple entertainment...), my favourite game engine is Quake, it's community is amazing and the code even that is old has some interesting design and tools. Another graphic engine I recommend to consider if your making a game is Irrlicht it's lightweight and not more complicated to use than necessary :)
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

"English is the sacred language of the Witches." (Stephen Warlowe)
Every word's a story.
The vocabulary of modern Wicca, like the religion itself, is late and composite.
Wicca < Old English wicca, "magic-worker [male]" That the word retains its Anglo-Saxon form and has been both redefined and re-pronounced (OE pronunciation: witch-ah) shows that this is a modern, not a continuous, usage.
Athame < Med. French atamer, "to cut"
Skyclad < Loan-translation (19th c.) of Sanskrit digambara, "dressed in air"
Coven < Latin
Sabbat < Latin < Hebrew. Murray's frolicsome s'esbattre derivation is non-historical. The term is a wholesale and hostile borrowing from Jewish vocabulary; compare yet another Trial Era name for the witch-meeting, the "synagogue of Satan."
These two last are both clearly "words from without." What, one wonders, would be our "words from within"?
Yes, sabbat and sabbath both stem from Hebrew shabbat. Sabbat reflects Latin sabbatum; Latin didn't have a way to spell sh. Of co

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.
Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRaynoThe Gophers are officially down one recruit for next season.
Alvin Ellis was released from his letter of intent to Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing the Chicago-native to re-open his recruitment.
Here's what he tweeted early Wednesday afternoon:
Good luck to the #Gopher team and all the fans in the future..had to do what was best for me and my family.! Thanks for all the love.!
— Alvin Ellis (@AEllis21) April 3, 2013
Minnesota now has just one recruit lined up for 2013-14 – former Ellis teammate Alex Foster. The Gophers have four scholarships available, but were planning to save at least one for the loaded 2014 recruiting class. However, with a new coach coming in, having more scholarships – 5 – at their disposal for the next two seasons might not be a bad thing.
Additionally, Ellis wouldn't have filled the Gophers biggest needs: post players and a true point guard.

There was initial interest, but everybody backed off. There was concern she wouldn't deliver," a source said.A representative for the publishing house however declined to comment.Lohan's publicist Tej Herring, meanwhile, said that "there have been some conversations, but nothing official yet."

Pastor Mitty and Memorial Day
By Tom Holmes
Pastor Walter Mitty felt a surge of satisfied contentment as he sat alone during the coffee hour at Poplar Park Community Church last Sunday. No one was paying any attention to him. Instead they were patting Ash on the back, shaking his hand and telling him what a good job he had done with the sermon that morning.
It was on Mother's Day that the idea came to him of asking Ash to give the sermon on Memorial Day. The worship committee had asked Debbie Anderson to give a five minute sharing on the meaning of the Easter season from a woman's point of view. The gospel for that day was from the seventeenth chapter of John in which Jesus prays for the unity of his disciples after he's gone.
Debbie had knocked the congregation's socks off. She had talked about how mothers have the vocation of keeping their families united in the midst of all the forces trying to pull them apart these days.
It was especially moving to Pastor Mitty, because he alone in the congregation knew how her husband Eric was struggling with how to integrate his recently discovered sexual orientation with his role in the family he dearly loved.
"So why not ask Ash to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day two weeks from now?" Mitty asked himself. "Heck, have him do the whole sermon. It's Trinity Sunday, and I never know what to do with that doctrine anyway."
To his surprise, Ash had readily agreed. The "police action" in Korea was America's forgotten war, Ash had replied, and this would be a good chance to remind the congregation that three times as many American soldiers died in Korea sixty years ago than have died in Iraq and Afghanistan put together.
Ash's pastor had thought that his Korean War vet would give a "war is hell" sermon to the congregation like he did at times at the men's breakfast at the Main Café on Wednesday mornings.
Ash surprised him again. What he talked about for twenty minutes was his memories of how close he had gotten to his comrades in arms. "There's something about going through hard times with a bunch of guys," Ash had said, "when day after day you see that they have your back, when they come through for you over and over even at the risk of their own lives. We were like brothers."
"A lot of them are gone now," he had continued, "but I'll never forget them, especially on Memorial Day. I guess that's why for me and Dorothy our marriage is stronger now than on our wedding day. Going through the hard times together has made us stronger. I'm sure that's what is going to happen with the people of Moore, Oklahoma as they recover from the tornado."
The Koran War vet said, "I guess that's one reason we come to church every Sunday. To remember. To remember the good times but also hard times we and Jesus have gone through together and to see that sooner or later we've gotten through them OK. . .together."
Ash finished by saying, "My grandson Ezra is into Christian rock music. Last week he played a song he liked a lot by a guy named Marc Scibilia. I thought some of the words might get at what I'm trying to say.
Life is too far to walk alone
You can't do it on your own
People gonna be ok
Storms never come to stay
They just show us
How bad we need each other
How bad we need each other
And the trials of today
They are signs along the way
To remind us
How bad we need each other
How bad we need each other
And I can get so high
On myself sometimes
I keep on drifting a million miles
From this planet
But what a shame it would be
To look back on this life
And realize that
I've taken you and you
For granted
People gonna be ok
Storms never come to stay
They just show us
How bad we need each other
How bad we need each other
And the trials of today
They are signs along the way
To remind us
How bad we need each other
How bad we need each other
As he listen to Ash read the words of the song, Mitty knew who would hear those lyrics as a blessing. During the coffee hour he asked Ash if he could photocopy his sermon. Later that day after driving up to Manitowoc for the second time in two weeks, he gave copies to Susan, Brian and Matt.
"It's been almost a year since Herman died," he began, "and Ash's sermon today kind of put into words how I felt about being together two weeks ago. I'd like to hear what you think."
As they read Ash's sermon, Mitty wondered how his teenage nephews would react. He knew they were hurting and wanted affection but wasn't sure they could express that need openly.
As they finished they were tears in all of their eyes. They didn't say, they couldn't say anything, but the group hug said it all.
"My nephews," he said to himself, "are maturing through all of this. Thank you."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (28 votes).
In short: excellent fast, flat 10k. Thoroughly recommendedIn full: Nice flat 10k, well organised and very friendly. No traffic to worry about as the course is mostly on hard footpaths or closed roads and I was rewarded with a PB of 35.03 and first M45. really enjoyed this and will be back next year assuming legs still work.Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: For Bushfield Joggers 1st Bushey 10K - Well done!In full: Both myself and husband got PB's - so definitely a fast course, but unfortunately very dull due to the industrial estate start. Though running in the shade along the cyclepath was quite pleasant as it was quite warm. This event was well marshalled and they were very incouraging.Date of review: July 13, 2008

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton has no regrets over his career.
Britton joined West Ham at 16 hoping for a better chance of making a break-through. A tribunal ordered the Hammers to pay Arsenal a whopping £400,000.
He told The Sun: "Arsenal offered me three years but West Ham were interested. They had Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Glen Johnson, Michael Carrick and a history of bringing players through.
"An FA panel set the compensation at 400 grand up front which was a record for a 16-year-old at the time."
But Britton did not make the breakthrough at Upton Park and dropped four divisions to Swansea on loan in search of first-team football. That move became permanent the following summer . . . and the rest is history.
Britton said: "I wouldn't change it for the world.
"We've come up through the divisions with Swansea which means more, because I've done it the hard way rather than straight away.
"I'd have loved to have spent the last 10 years in the Premier League but it was a great way to get there.
"And do it with a club you've played a lot of games for and seen grow on and off the pitch."

Sidney Frank
Sidney Frank | |
Born | October 2, 1919 |
Died | January 10, 2006 | (aged 86)
Nationality | American |
Education | Brown University |
Sidney E. Frank (October 2, 1919 – January 10, 2006) was an American businessman and philanthropist. He became a billionaire through his promotion of Grey Goose vodka and Jägermeister.
Early life, family, education[edit]
Frank was born in Montville, Connecticut, to a Jewish family. His father and mother were Abraham and Sarah Frank. He grew up in Norwich, Connecticut, and graduated from the Norwich Free Academy in 1937. He attended Brown University (class of 1942) but left because he could only afford one year of tuition. He later made enormous gifts to the university to ensure that no student would ever be forced to leave Brown because of inability to pay tuition. Brown University named its new Life Sciences building (its largest capital project up to date) after Sidney Frank, the single most generous donor in the university's history. During World War II, Frank worked for Pratt and Whitney as an aircraft engine mechanic in the South Pacific.
Business career[edit]
Frank's first wife, Louise Rosenstiel, was the daughter of Lewis Rosenstiel, founder of Schenley Industries, one of the largest American distiller and spirit importers. Frank joined Schenley after his marriage and rose to the company presidency, but was forced out in a family dispute in 1970.
In 1973 his wife died and he started his own company, Sidney Frank Importing Company, where he served as chairman and chief executive officer. The company is based in New Rochelle, New York where Frank lived (he had a home in Rancho Santa Fe, California as well).
Frank's first big success with his own company was with Jacques Cardin brandy, a brand he purchased from Seagram in 1979. In the 1980s, he obtained importing rights to Jägermeister and promoted it heavily, advertising it as the best drink in the world, turning a specialty brand into a mainstream success. In 1997, he developed Grey Goose vodka, made in France by François Thibault,[1] and was so successful in promoting it that he sold the brand to Bacardi for $2 billion in June 2004.
Frank gave large bonuses to his employees and made both a $12 million donation to The Norwich Free Academy and a $120 million donation to Brown University in 2005, the ninth-largest philanthropic gift in that year. Forbes magazine ranked him the 185th richest man in America in its Forbes 400 list. In October 2005, Frank donated £500,000 and a statue by sculptor Stephen Kettle to Bletchley Park Trust to fund a new Science Center dedicated to Alan Turing[2] and, as a great supporter of R. J. Mitchell's Spitfire, commissioned a life size statue of Mitchell as well as funding a website dedicated to Mitchell's life: RJ Mitchell. A life in aviation.
His foundation has been one of the biggest supporters of the Israel Olympic Committee and has helped to pay for improvements in several Israeli sports.
Frank died January 10, 2006 on a private plane in flight between San Diego, California and Vancouver, British Columbia at the age of 86 from heart failure. He was declared dead in San Francisco, California. On his plane were several nurses and medical doctors as well as a defibrillator, but he could not be revived.[3][4] He is buried in the Rosenstiel family plot at United Jewish Cemeteries in Cincinnati. His daughter Cathy Frank Halstead is currently chairwoman of Sidney Frank Importing Company.
Cathy Frank figured prominently in a highly publicized case regarding her grandfather's will that led to the disbarment of the controversial lawyer Roy Cohn. In 1975, Cohn entered the hospital room of a dying and comatose Rosenstiel, forced a pen to his hand and lifted it to the will in an attempt to make himself and Cathy Frank beneficiaries. The resulting marks were determined in court to be indecipherable and in no way a valid signature. In 1986 Cohn was disbarred for unethical and unprofessional conduct in the case, as well as misappropriation of clients' funds and lying on a bar application.
Sidney Frank, and his son Matthew Frank, also sued the Rosenstiel estate, each in a separate action.

The saved file does not encrypt the passwords that the package will use when executed. If a client could convice an admin to create an example DTS package for troubleshooting then the client would have the admin\'s SQL password. Of course no admin would ever use a high level account for that sort of thing. :) SOLUTION Nothing yet
