Our needs are clear. Recruit the best students. And once they get here, provide them with the special programs that make the Business Honors Program so unique.
"I was one of the early participants in the program and have always connected my success going forward with that educational experience. I think it is appropriate, particularly given changes to funding for higher education, to ask alumni who have reaped the rewards of going through such a high-quality program and have the capacity to give to help." – Woody Hunt
The program has until 2017 to raise $2 million to receive the full $1 million pledged by Mr. Hunt. The challenge is structured as a 2 to 1 match: for every $2 you give to BHP, Mr. Hunt will give $1 to the program. Only gift of $1,000 or more will be matched, and our main goal for the challenge is to generate the $2 million through new endowments for the BHP.
Most of Mr. Hunt's gift ($750,000) will be directed to the Woody Hunt Endowed Excellence Fund for the Business Honors Program. These funds will provide vital funding for BHP faculty, students and programming. A portion of the gift ($250,000) will also be designated to support scholarships for students from the Del Norte region, which encompasses El Paso, Las Cruces, and Juarez.
An individual named endowed excellence fund starts at $50,000. Income from these endowments annually supports improvement and expansion of recruiting programs; costs of enrichment programs that enhance the BHP experience and prepare students for leadership roles in their communities and industries; student travel to case competitions and conferences; student research; and study abroad opportunities.
The BHP has to compete with many top schools to recruit the best and the brightest. This can be a challenge due to the lack of scholarships the Business Honors Program is able to offer. We cannot be the best business program without the best students, and we cannot recruit the best students without competitive financial incentives.
The Forty Acres Scholars Program is a new scholarship created by the Texas Exes to recruit and recognize exceptional students, enriching their lives and nurturing their development as future leaders at The University of Texas at Austin. The Forty Acres Scholars Program, the first merit-based, full-ride scholarship to be offered at UT Austin, will give the University a competitive advantage in attracting the nation's most talented students. In addition to the Forty Acres Scholars Program the McCombs School has made it a top priority to raise funds for merit-based scholarships and has built a tiered McCombs Scholars program.
If you are interested in either of these giving opportunities, please fill out the form below so we can contact you with more information.

Everyone's always wondered how a 20-something year old kid went from waiting tables, to 7-figures in less than 18 months...
Well it's simple. I created a strategy called the "MLM Traffic Formula" that let me produce endless free leads, and instant cash for my business, anytime I wanted.
In 2006, I revealed this formula to the public for the very first time, and it literally changed the network marketing industry forever.
Since then, I've gone on to build the 2nd largest downline in my network marketing company, and make over $7,000,000 from my little home office.
This strategy didn't just work for me. 1,000's of entrepreneurs around the world have used this formula to achieve their financial freedom as well.
And now I'd like to share my "Traffic Formula" with you at no cost in this free training video I just recorded which is going to teach you four things…
First, I'm going to literally give you the formula that allowed me to build a 7-figure business from my home.
Second, I'm going to demonstrate the power of this strategy by showing you how I made my friend Eben around $250,000 just by sending a few emails.
Third, I'm going to show you how I generate over 600 leads every single day for free,
And finally, I'm going to show you how to sponsor dozens, even hundreds of new distributors per month using technology.
Obviously this is a lot of information, which is why this video is a full 38 minutes in length.
And it's all content. There's no sales pitch or strings attached. Just sit back and watch as I give you my million-dollar formula right there on my white-board.
So just fill out the form below and tell me where to send your link to the video…

Performance Implications of Firm Resource Interactions in the Acquisition of R&D Intensive Firms
2008, Organization Science
David R. King, Rebecca J. Slotegraaf, Idalene Kesner
We explore the role of resource interactions in explaining firm performance in the context of acquisitions. While we confirm that acquisitions do not lead to higher performance on average, we do identify that complementary resource profiles in target and acquiring firms are associated with abnormal returns. Specifically, we find that the interaction between acquiring firm marketing resources and target firm technology resources positively reinforce (complement) each other. Meanwhile, the interaction of acquiring and target firm technology resources negatively reinforce (substitute) one another. Implications for management theory and practice are identified.
King, David R., Rebecca J. Slotegraaf, and Idalene Kesner (2008), "Performance Implications of Firm Resource Interactions in the Acquisition of R&D Intensive Firms," Organization Science, Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 327-340.

I read the other day they're tearing down the old Gibsonville Elementary School. Some town residents had tried to save it for civic uses, but couldn't come up with the necessary money.
So the old school — replaced by a new one several years back — is headed the way of the wrecking ball.
I don't have a vested interest, so the school's demolition doesn't mean a lot to me. My father may have felt different.
My father was Dick Huffman. He grew up on Lewis Street in Gibsonville, about two blocks from the school. Daddy went to one school all 12 years of his public education, graduating from Gibsonville in 1949.
Here's how close he lived to the school: His bedroom was at the back of his house — his window facing the school. Daddy said when he was a teenager and the weather was warm, he'd sleep with the window open.
Two school bells sounded each morning — the first at 8:25 a.m. and the tardy bell at 8:30.
Daddy said he'd sleep until the first bell woke him. Then he'd jump from bed, yank on a pair of jeans and slide into his shoes. He'd sprint out the door and barrel toward school at a dead run. By the time the tardy bell sounded, he'd be sitting in his homeroom seat.
His senior year of high school basketball, my father led all of Guilford County in scoring. I discovered this when I was about 10 and stumbled across some old newspaper clippings tucked away in a scrapbook. When you're 10, it's good to be proud of your father.
I mentioned Daddy's accomplishments to him, but he didn't seem particularly impressed.
"I used to think it was something," he said. "Then it dawned on me that North Carolina has 100 counties and every one of them had a leading scorer that year."
His freshman year, my father's basketball team didn't win a game. Daddy said he'd come to school in the morning following yet another loss and one of his classmates would ask, "You get beat again last night, Huffman?"
Daddy said he heard it so much he got to where he'd answer, "Yeah, what'd you do?"
I laughed when I heard the story. The father of one of my childhood friends once told me my sense of humor reminded him of my father's. It's one of the better compliments I've received.
I was in downtown Gibsonville with my father about 20 years ago. Someone hollered, "Hey, Dickie!"
It was one of my father's classmates. The two shook hands and spoke for several minutes, laughing their way through high school tales. As we were walking away, my father admitted to me, "It's hell to be 60 years old and still be called Dickie."
Then he chuckled.
Daddy died 10 years ago this spring. He had cancer. The last couple of years were a struggle, but Daddy kept a sense of humor about him to the end. He never complained about the hand he'd been dealt.
I miss him and his sense of humor. I still picture him as a 15-year-old, jumping out of bed and into his shoes before taking off on a race to beat the tardy bell.

As 2013 winds to a close -- and as many of you will soon be looking to spend gift cards -- we thought this was a good time to update our list of must-have Blu-ray discs. We've added three new 2013 films, each of which will max out your home theater system, both visually and aurally.
Though my face is at the top of the column, the list was compiled with input from editors John Falcone, Matthew Moskovciak, and David Katzmaier, who look at a lot of video content in their day-to-day testing of products. We also keep an eye on AVS Forum's Blu-ray picture quality and audio quality threads, and have always appreciated the site's tiered rating system.
This list is not set in stone, and we'll be adding and removing discs as new ones come out. As always, feel free to make comments and suggest your own personal favorites. They may get added to the list in the future.
Also: If you're someone who likes demoing your system and skipping around between scenes, you'll want a fast Blu-ray player, which you can find among our best Blu-ray player picks.

As a tourist coming from outside of Illinois the most common idea of sight seeing is the main Chicago sights: Willis Tower, Hancock building, Magnificent Mile, the Lakefront, etc. The last thing that one thinks about is going to see something that you can do back home, like going to the Zoo.
Every city has their own unique Zoo, where the residents are able to escape reality and spend some time with our furry friends from all over the world. Over the 4th of July holiday I spent the day at the Lincoln park Zoo. After living in the city of Chicago for the last 6 years I thought that it might be about time that I visit this magical place. I don't know about most of you, but I turn into a 5 year old when I get past the gate. I literally drug my boyfriend around the park going "ooohhhh and awwweeee". It was a very hot day, I recommend that when you visit you try to go around September. Or if you do decide to venture during our hot Chicago summers, take a lot of water!!
I have to say that my first Zoo experience at the Lincoln Park Zoo was great! We took the red line up to the Zoo as parking is generally a little pricy for my taste. For those of you staying with us at the Hampton Inn & Suites, it is so easy to get there, just take the Red Line at the Grand Stop headed North and get off at Fullerton. Then walk east until you reach the Zoo. Very accessible and easy route from the downtown location. When you get there, no need to take out your wallet as the Zoo is completely free!!! Not a bad deal, huh? But of course they always accept donations, so feel free to give a little back as it goes toward making the Zoo a better home for the animals. They are just too cute to refuse! So…my first stop was the Pygmy hippopotamus. He was such a cute little guy, check out my photo:
He was so excited to see us there, that he kept trying to push his way through the glass. He would swim up and down trying to find a way out. But aside from his cuteness, I did find out some information about this type of Hippo. It seems that due to habitat loss, the Pygmy Hippo is endangered. This particular species is solitary and a nocturnal mammal. The population has dwindled and we don't know the exact numbers, but from the information provided by the Zoo, scientists estimate that 3,000 of the animals may live in the wild. At this time, The Lincoln Park Zoo cooperatively manages Pygmy Hippopotamus populations with other institutions in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Some cool facts about this species that I was able to find out, courtesy of the Zoo webpage: Special Adaptations
- The pygmy hippo's skin secretes a red substance, giving rise to the legend that the species "sweats blood." The substance isn't blood, but its function is unknown. Scientists believe it may serve as an antibiotic or help block excessive sunlight.
- The eyes, ears and nose are located on the top of the head, enabling the species to see, smell and hear while the rest of its body is underwater.
- The pygmy hippos' ears and nostrils pinch tightly shut when the animal dives underwater, making it easier for them to stay submerged.
You don't have to be so excited about the animals to go to the Zoo, just enjoy the nice walk and the fact that you get a chance to explore a different side of the city. It is a nice break from being around so many people when walking down the Magnificent Mile or when seeing the amazing sites the Willis Tower has to offer. Check out the Zoo next time you are in Chicago, you won't be disappointed!!

West publicly criticized Timberlake's new song, "Suit & Tie," last month.
When Timberlake sang the song while serving as host of "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend, he changed the line, "Aww, [expletive] so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit" to "my hit's so sick, got rappers acting dramatic."
Asked on Monday's edition of "Late Night" about the apparent dig at West, Timberlake told Fallon: "Let me just, for the record, I absolutely love Kanye. So there's that. We love Kanye, right?"
West and Timberlake are both recent collaborators of hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.

Falcon Swimming Wins 20 of 22 Events Rolling Division One VMI on Saturday Afternoon
January 29, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University wrapped up its 2010-2011 home swimming schedule with a pair of victories of division one VMI on Saturday afternoon at the Merner Pool. The men scored a 132-73 win over the Keydets while the Lady Falcons cruised 135-38. Pfeiffer notched wins in 20 of the 22 events on the day.
Senior day began with a bang as Pfeiffer tallied wins in both the mens and womens 400-yard medley relay. Kim Benton, Haley Carter, Brittney Quaranto and Shelby Carrion defeated teammates Yukina Onoda, Jillian Kniffen, Morgan Dionne and Samantha Maness by six seconds. On the mens side, Charlie Melesh, Kevin Parks, Zach McMichael and Mark Franz won the event with a time of 3:41.88.
Maness and Melesh registered back-to-back wins in the 1,000-yard freestyle while Onoda and Edwin Torres did the same in the 200 free. The quick sprint in the 50 free saw Carter and Benton finish 1-2 in the womens event while George Moreno scored the win on the mens side.
Carrion and McMichael continued Pfeiffers winning ways in the 100 fly while Kniffen and Moreno cruised in the 100 free. After Benton secured another victory in the 100 backstroke, Onoda and Melesh rolled in the 500 free. To wrap up the afternoon, Jim Roddenbery scored a personal win in the 100 breaststroke over Parks while both sides came up winners in the final event, the 400 free relay. Kniffen, Maness, Melissa Roberts and Quaranto finished first on the womens side while Moreno, Franz, Pat Porter and Torres did so on the other side.
Next up on the swim schedule will be the grueling four-day Bluegrass Mountain Conference Meet in Charlotte. First day events begin on Wednesday, February 16th.

Rothgeb said goodbye to his two sons, Skyler, 3, and Jayden, 2, and wife Michelle in a parking lot with the other Marines.
"This will be my first major deployment away from my two kids," he said. "I don't think it will be too hard on me. I think it will be harder on them once they realize I'm gone and on my way."
His wife said the year apart would be difficult.
"We'll miss him but we'll do a lot of pictures and letters and hopefully we'll be able to video chat, which will be good for the little ones," she said. "I'm crossing my fingers he comes back safe."

The two most prominent defensive linemen on last season's Havelock football state championship team will get to line up beside each other one final time.
Defensive linemen Kendal Vickers and Malcom Ashley terrorized quarterbacks all across the eastern part of the state during their high school careers – now they get to bring fear to some from the west.
The duo will compete for the East squad in the annual East-West All-Star football game in Greensboro on July 24.
Last season, the program sent offensive lineman Derek Nelson (now at Chowan) and wide receiver Zach Lahaie to the game.
"I'm excited and I think it is going to be really cool to play against some high school kids one last time before going to college," Vickers said.
"Even though it is in all-star game, I'm going up there to dominate and do what I can to show my talents in the playing time I get."
The pair will be coached by Randy Raper of Wilson Hunt High School and are the only athletes from Craven County competing in the game.
"It means a whole lot to me. The state title game kind of broke me down a bit, knowing it was my last time playing high school football, but now to get one more game, it kind of re-boosts my spirits a bit," Ashley said.
Ashley is headed to East Carolina this fall to suit up for the Pirates.
Both players said they have been driven and stayed busy during the offseason.
"Of course, I have been working out, but also really focusing on my schoolwork and getting my grades up before ECU," Ashley said.
Vickers is still working out with current Havelock players and is even participating in the "Black Reign" morning conditioning workouts at the school.
"I've put on 20 pounds of muscle since the season ended, just by continuing to work in the weight room. I'm working on getting just a bit stronger and becoming more flexible before college," Vickers said.
While Vickers wants to serve notice and make a statement at the all-star game, Ashley plans to soak it all in and enjoy the experience.
"I don't know anything specific that I'm looking to get out of it," Ashley said.
"I just want one more chance to play against some of the best high schoolers in the state and see what I can do."

The aorta is the main artery in the heart. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. Aortic coarctation is the narrowing of the aorta. This slows or blocks blood flow. It is often associated with other heart and vascular conditions. Examples include abnormal heart valves or aneurysms, which can lead to further health problems.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Aortic coarctation is a congenital heart defect. This means that it is present at birth. It occurs because of a problem with the way the aorta develops while the fetus is growing in the womb.
Risk factors include:
If your child's condition is severe, he will have symptoms of impaired blood flow at birth. If aortic coarctation is not treated, it can lead to
heart failure
If this condition is not detected when your child is a baby, he may have these symptoms during childhood, such as:
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If your child has any of these, talk to the doctor.
If your child's condition is not detected at birth, the doctor will ask about his symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done. Tests may include:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment depends on your child's age and how severe the condition is.
Your newborn will need treatment right away. An IV medicine (given through a vein) called prostaglandin may be given. This drug helps keep blood flowing to all parts of the body. Other medicines may also be used to improve how the heart contracts. One of the most common surgeries involves removing the narrow section of the aorta and reconnecting the two "good" ends.
Your child may need to take water pills to reduce fluid retention. Depending on your child's condition, the doctor may also recommend surgery. Some of the options include:
It is important to note that there will always be a risk, even into adulthood, of the development of other cardiovascular conditions.
Since this condition is present at birth, there is no way to prevent it.

Understanding Afghanistan, one woman's fight
Last winter I read a moving story about two women's lives in the war torn country. The Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini paints a vivid and often sad but still hope filled picture of the Human Spirit winning all odds. It has staid with me, an intriguing saga of solidarity. I recommend it without hesitation to all who care to understand our diversity and the value our differences.
Now I had the chance to read the powerful memoir of Fawzia Koofi, a known women rights campaigner and the first female Speaker of the Afghan Parliament.
The favored daughter, by Fauzia Koofi
It was captivating read and I finally started to really understand the fabric of Afghan society. And I only can wish from my heart that the country could recover from decades of terror and horror. Her story captures the political and cultural complexity in Afghanistan. Coming from the northernmost remote, very poor and very conservative province of Badakhshan she grew up as the 19. of the 23 children of her father who had seven wives. According to Islamic law he had to divorce some of them in order to remarry. Fawzia Koofi was left to die in the sun after birth by her mother, but she survived and became her favored daughter. Through extreme hardship and threats to her life she has emerged as a beacon of hope for the country.
As it was customary in her village girls were given to marriage as young as 12-year olds despite the legal marrying age of 16 years. She escaped this by losing her influential father and being a child refugee in Faizabad. She was the first girl in her family to be allowed to have a school education. Although her father was a well known politician who represented the province in Kabul parliament girls education was not appropriate in her village. Education was not seen necessary for girls as they were to marry and their husbands would be in charge of everything. She was overjoyed to get this opportunity as her widowed mother insisted. And now a widow herself and a mother of two girls she is an outspoken advocate of women and children rights and is planning to campaign for the 2014 parliamentary elections. For a future for Afghanistan and her daughters.
When reading of women of stature and high moral character and their determination one cannot but wish more of their kind would be given the reigns of power to change the course of history, by some magic might. Would the world have a better chance then? Today it looks like we do not have a chance in the face of rapid population growth, hunger due to climate change, swindling natural reserves and the wars over them. Men have done their best, although I'm not convinced. What if..
Ramadan Kareem, my dear readers!

It is possible to use an alternatively frame title. Normally the title has the aspect "IzPack - Installation of " + '$APP_NAME' (or the according default translation). If the langpack key 'installer.reversetitle' is defined, the value of that key will be used instead of the key 'installer.title'. There is no string added, but it is possible to use IzPack variables. The third heading example contains such a alternatively frame title. It is only possible to use predefined variables like '$APP_NAME' because the title will be created before the frame will be shown. It is common to use the name of the installation toolkit in the frame title.
Add in '<ISO3>.xml' or 'CustomLangpack.xml_<ISO3>' :

"I love teaching because it's a blessing. It's a blessing to me because now they know about this part of history," said Dr. Adolfo Roitman, curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls. On October 10, Roitman visited Anderson University to participate in the 31st Newell Lecture Series and to speak about his role as curator of the scrolls and the head of the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The day consisted of one general lecture, two scholarly lectures, and a question and answer session.
The day was organized by Dr. Gilbert Lozano and Dr. Kimberly Majeski, professors of biblical studies in the School of Theology. "Dr. Lozano is originally from Columbia, Brazil and knew of Dr. Roitman, who is Argentinean, and so off the cuff he e-mailed him to see if he would be open to doing the Newell Lectures this year," explained Dr. Gregory Robertson, associate professor of Christian theology. It worked out that Roitman was going to be in North America at the time of the lecture, between trips to Jamaica and Mexico, and agreed to be a part of the Newell Lecture.
Throughout the day, Roitman spoke about the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as the historical context behind them. He also showed a video that sends the viewer back in time to better understand the time period that they would have been written. "When it comes down to it these were real humans living a real experience, so the video was really helpful for me to see it come alive, to see the way that they might have lived, and how they really took to heart the idea of being a human sanctuary," said Emily Clark, an SOT student.
The overall response to the video has been overwhelmingly positive, and it has prompted Roitman and the Israel Museum to create a new video to complement the original. "If people see the video without seeing the artifacts in the museum," said Roitman, "then they are seeing it out of context." Of course, not everyone can travel to Jerusalem to see these artifacts firsthand, so the Israel Museum has been working on a $100,000 project to be released in the middle of 2013.
"In each scene of the movie, you will be able to stop it and retrieve the behind-the-scenes information," said Roitman. This will become a tool for scholars and teachers who wish to explain more about the Dead Sea Scrolls to students and other audiences.
Many undergraduate and SOT students attended the lectures, including Ashley Fletcher, an SOT student working on her Master of Divinity. "It was a wonderful privilege to hear Dr. Roitman communicate his passion for the spiritual treasure of the Dead Sea Scrolls," she said. "His discussion of the interfaith dialogue made possible as a result of this scholarship was particularly profound. I was grateful this conversation could come to Anderson through the generosity of the Newells."
The couple for whom the series is named, Dr. Arlo and Helen Newell, attended the lectures and Robertson was excited to be able to express his gratitude for their help in bringing such a scholar to AU. "I thanked them for their great gift they give to the campus to be able to have this exposure to scholarship from around the world year in and year out," he said.
Rob Heaton, an SOT student who spent the summer in Israel, felt like he learned a lot from Roitman's lectures since he is a leader in this field. "I saw the same sort of phenomenon when I was in Israel; it's not often that you hear from someone who does this for a living. When I was at some archaeological sites, for example, I happened on tours that were led by people who had excavated there for many years. In the same manner, Dr. Roitman has been studying the Dead Sea Scrolls for his lifetime and he came to impart his knowledge on us. It's very beneficial to the university."

NEW ORLEANS On Friday morning, the beginning of another hurricane season was less than 24 hours away, and local leaders did not wait to lay out their storm preparations and safety plans.
An active hurricane season was predicted for 2013.
Officials, including six parish presidents, Corps of Engineers and emergency managers, gathered at the Port of New Orleans and stressed that residents 'be prepared.'
The group of 16 leaders said that they plan on working more closely and learning lessons from hurricanes Katrina to Isaac.
The leaders said it is vital for residents to complete their hurricane planning immediately and be ready to evacuate.
'The Greater New Orleans Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System is stronger than it has ever been before. But, every storm is different, has its unique dangers. So, it's important that individuals and families be prepared, have a plan to evacuate, listen to their government officials,' said Corps of Engineers Col. Richard Hansen.
'We have tried to close the gap in every weakness that we have had, and we feel like we are as well prepared as we have ever been. But every storm humbles us. Every storm brings us something that we weren't prepared for. So, what we have to be prepared for is to be able to respond to the unexpected,' said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.

The next Gordon request cycle runs from September 15, 2013 through October 15, 2013, for 12-month allocations beginning January 1, 2014. Please see the XSEDE User Portal for details on how to prepare and submit an allocation request.
In addition to the standard Research Allocation requests done through the XSEDE Allocation Request System, Gordon provides an additional new and unique allocation opportunity. Users can request dedicated, long-term use of Gordon's I/O nodes for data-intensive applications like databases and data mining environments. With 4.8 TB of high performance flash memory in each I/O node, Gordon I/O nodes provide exceptionally high performance and capacity for solving the most challenging data problems. For example, this may be of value where new instruments create data volumes exceeding the project environment capacity.
This special access to Gordon I/O nodes is done only through the startup allocation process, giving XSEDE users and staff a chance to evaluate the novel allocation model. Although startup awards require only a one-page proposal, applicants must provide strong justification of their need for dedicated access.
Gordon I/O nodes are considered a storage resource within the XSEDE project. Therefore, a node must be requested as 4.8 TB of flash storage.
Review the Gordon resource catalog entries for more information on these distinct offerings.
Here are some suggestions to help you prepare a successful allocation request:

Independent living, as seen by its advocates, is a philosophy, a way of looking at disability and society, and a worldwide movement of people with disabilities working for self-determination, self-respect and equal opportunities. In the context of eldercare, independent living is seen as a step in the continuum of care, with assisted living being the next step.
In most countries, proponents of the IL Movement claim preconceived notions and a predominantly medical view of disability contribute to negative attitudes towards people with disabilities, portraying them as sick, defective and deviant persons, as objects of professional intervention, as a burden for themselves and their families, dependent on other people's charity. These images, in the IL analysis, have consequences for disabled people's opportunities for raising families of their own, getting education and work, which, in turn, result in persons with disabilities making up a large portion of the poor in any country.

21-16, 16-23, 28-9, 17-29
BCM Gravelines held off a furious late rally from French rivals Paris Levallois to get off the mark in Group J of the EuroChallenge with an 82-77 victory.
Gravelines watched a 21-point lead drop to six inside the final four minutes but Paris had ultimately left themselves with too much to do.
The game had been close for 25 minutes, with nine lead changes before Gravelines went on a storming run that appeared to put them in complete control.
Quick-fire back-to-back baskets from Kennedy Winston sparked a 14-0 run that turned a tied game into a 58-44 Gravelines lead.
David Noel sank a pair of free throws to make it 65-48 at the end of the period, and his dunk at the 4:08 mark put them up 77-56.
The job appeared all but done, but Paris had other ideas.
Sean May reeled off four quick points and when Giovan Oniangue made a dunk from Andrew Albicy's pass, the lead was down to 81-75 with 16 seconds left on a 19-4 Paris surge.
Juan Edwards split his free throws for Gravelines with 12 seconds left, but time was now against Paris and Albicy's late free throws were not enough.
Ludovic Vaty led Gravelines with 22 points while Dwight Buycks had 16 and Noel 15.
May scored 25 and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Paris. Albicy added 18 while Jawad Williams had 10.
The result leaves both teams at 1-1 in the group.
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque head coach Christian Monschau"We had a great third quarter, very aggressive on both sides of the court but we still have to manage the ups and downs of a game. It's a good win for us, we're still alive for qualification."
Paris-Levallois head coach Christophe Denis "We had a terrible third quarter in the way we played and the way we acted on the court. They could have beaten us by 30 points but luckily it didn't happen. We'll have to react in the next game against Szolnoki."
BCM point guard Aldo Curti"It's an important victory after our loss in Szolnok last week, we made a good effort in the third quarter with though defense which allowed us to win the game even if we don't take an advantage with the point-average."

The euphoria following an outstanding win over the Sharks has passed and the Vodacom Blue Bulls are braced for a repeat performance against Griquas on Saturday.
Bulls assistant coach Mike Bayly is convinced that the win has not left the side complacent and stressed that they were well aware of the importance of bagging five points in Kimberly.
"The guys have refocussed and are really up for Friday's match," Bayly told Keo.co.za. "We realise that we played well against the Sharks and the win gave us lots of momentum going into the last two games."
He attributed the emphatic win to the form of the returning Springboks, saying that their displays had given the Bulls the impetus they needed to trounce the hapless Sharks.
But he continued his pragmatic approach, saying that despite securing the bonus-point, they remained in fourth position, only four points ahead of the Lions.
"It just takes one slip up now and we could blow our chance of making the play-offs. That how close it is. So the team knows they will have to be at their very best against Griquas."
The Kimberley-based side, despite being out of contention for a play-off berth, will provide a stern test for the Bulls. Bayly praised their hosts, and simultaneously sounded a warning to his side.
"They have beaten the Lions and the Sharks at home this season and showed their resilience against the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday.
"They are a really good, young and well drilled team all round," he said.
"They have a solid pack and their eighthman [Frans Viljoen] is a quality player. In the back division they have a good kicking flyhalf in Conrad Barnard, their inside backs are really quick and if you give their back three ball in broken play they can devastate any defence,".
The Pretoria-based side have a chance of securing a home semi-final but that is largely dependent on other results favouring them. They could find themselves in second postion at the end of the round, if the Cheetahs beat the Sharks and the Lions beat Vodacom Western Province.
Conversely, a loss to Griquas and a bonus point win for the Lions win would see them drop out of the play-off placing and left with the daunting task of beating the
Cheetahs at Loftus in the final round.

Setting up an IntelliJ IDEA project to build Groovy from sources
Checking out sources
You must have checked out the sources from the Codehaus git repository, or if you wish you could use the GitHub mirror.
Creating an IntelliJ IDEA project
- Choose "Create project from existing sources"
- Set the project files location to the "src" subdirectory and choose a project name
- unmark all sources but "src/main"
- no library should be found, click next
- click next on module review
- web facets should be detected, but they are not necessary. Uncheck them
- click on "finish"
If you tried to compile now, it would definitely fail. We have to update the project structure to make it work properly.
Tweak the project configuration
Edit the project structure
- Open the project structure window
- Choose a 1.6 version of the JDK
- Under the modules section, make the "test" folder a "test sources" folder
Perform an Ant build
At this step, the project structure does not include the necessary third party libraries to build groovy. Furthermore, IntelliJ IDEA requires a valid Groovy installation in order to build Groovy files. As the project is the Groovy project itself, normally the groovy build first compiles the minimal compiler written in Java then uses it to compile the remaining groovy files. Here, we'll have to workaround IntelliJ IDEA ignoring this. The first thing to do is to disable unit tests so that your local Groovy build runs faster (you can be confident that a checked out groovy project passes all unit tests ).
Create a file called local.build.properties at the root of the checked out project (this is also where you can find the build.xml file) containing the following line :
|Code Block
Then register the build.xml file in IntelliJ IDEA (Ant build tab on the right of the screen, "plus" button). You'll be able to launch the Ant build from IntelliJ IDEA now (use the "run" button from the Ant build tab). You could choose to run the Ant build externally, that is not a problem.
IntelliJ IDEA will run the ant build which will download the required third party libraries for you. Build duration depends on whether you already have the dependencies in a local maven repository.
Now your base directory includes a "target" directory where you will find various build artifacts :
Update the project structure
We will make use of those artifacts to create a working Groovy build from IntelliJ IDEA. To illustrate this, we will try to compile and debug (add a breakpoint) to the groovy.json.JsonBuilderTest which can be found under the test directory. Open this file in IDEA (tip, use CTRL+N, then type JBT, IntelliJ will find the class for you) :
You will notice the message at the top of the editor window which states that the Groovy SDK is not found. This is for the reasons we explained sooner : IntelliJ IDEA wants to build your Groovy files with the Groovy SDK you choose. As the project you are building is Groovy itself, it is a nonsense, so we must workaround this.
If you are used to using IDEA, you would want, at this step, to create a Run/Debug configuration for this unit test so that you can run it from IDEA. However, you will remember that we did not include any third party library at this step, which includes JUnit libraries. So IDEA will not let you create a build configuration for the JsonBuilderTest. Before, we will have to setup Groovy.
- Open the project structure
- Under the "modules" section, choose the "dependencies" tab then click on the "add" button
- choose "2. library" : we are going to create a library for building groovy
- name it "Groovy local build"
- attach classes, and choose the target/dist/groovy-all.jar file
- attach jar directories, and choose the target/lib/compile, target/lib/runtime and target/lib/test directories
With this library attached to the project, you will be able to start building Groovy from sources. However, there are still little modifications to be done.
Create a run/debug configuration for your unit test
Now if you right click on the class name of the JsonBuilderTest, you will notice that IntelliJ IDEA suggests to create a run configuration for the test. Do it. If you try to run it, IDEA will start building Groovy from sources, but you will fail with those errors :
The first errors are there because 3 files (BSFTest, CacheBSFTest and MBeanTest) are outside the scope of the project we created (they are not inside the Groovy src directory). To have IDEA build the project, you can exclude those files from the build by right clicking on each file where there is a problem in the build console and choose "Exclude from compile". The last error is an IDEA stub compilation error that you can safely ignore too. If you were to run the test configuration again, it would fail on UberTestCaseJavaSourceCodehausPackages and UberTestCaseJavaSourceGroovyPackagesNonSecurity because of the files we just have excluded, so exclude them from compilation too.
Now run the test configuration again: now it works ! Congratulations, you have successfully setup IDEA to build Groovy from sources !
You can add a breakpoint in JsonBuilderTest, and run the test configuration in debug mode. You will notice that IDEA performs a breakpoint as needed :
Updating the compiler itself
Now imagine the class you are working is related to the compiler. As the class you are updating is directly related to the compilation process, will IDEA use the class from the jar in target/dist/groovy-all.jar or the class you have just updated ? For reasons we ignore, it seems that IDEA just does it fine : if you update a compiler class, the compilation process itself will use this class instead of the one in the jar file. To check this, update the AsmClassGenetator class and add this line at the beginning of the public void visitClass(ClassNode classNode) method :
|Code Block
if (true) throw new NullPointerException();
Now run your test again (you must update the test file so that intellij idea builds it again). You will notice that the build process will fail as expected, so everything is fine !

Basic Objective-C Questions
I'd currently classify myself as a beginner with regards to Objective-C programming on the Mac. I've done some Java but it's been awhile. I've just finished reading a book oriented towards beginners of Objective-C in order to obtain a simple grasp of the language. I've also done a few Xcode Objective-C based tutorials on the internet.
I had an idea for an application that I could possibly benefit from via using, and it's also a very simple (or so it seems) idea. Nothing too advanced. I've been developing it for a few days now and it's been a great learner's experience so far (I prefer to get my feet wet).
As I've been working on this simple app, I've had a few questions arise. Right now I'm doing all my code through the provided AppDelegate header and implementation files. I'm assuming this is acceptable for basic applications with not too many needs. However, as it get more "advanced" (I have lots of different category features planned), should I look into tying my interface-based app to other files, for better organization? Can I still connect outlets and actions to these other non-Delegate files, too?
Also, I'm assuming that I should never access variables declared in header files directly, and that I should use the appropriate getter and setters provided from @synthesize? For example, I enter text in a field, and click a button. I then assign the string in the text field to a variable. I should use a setter instead of directly setting (i.e. variable = string), correct?
This brings me to one last question. I noticed when designing my user interface I have two possibilities when "linking" objects to code: Outlets and Actions. I define and use outlets when I want to access/use/set that object via code (i.e. setting a text field within my code by calling _object setString:string;, etc). _object has to be an outlet to do this. I use an action when I want to connect a method/function to the object. Am I doing this correctly? My app has a lot of text fields to be set and I notice after awhile I have a ton of outlets "spamming" my header file. For now I organize my outlets into categories/windows using comments.
Thanks for being patient.

I generally create a new subclass of NSObject as my application's main "controller" logic. Keep the logic out of the app delegate and only use the pre-created app delegate for setting things that are specifically needed in that delegate. Then I use Interface Builder to create an instance of the controller object. Once that is done, you can connect UI elements up to your controller as needed. This is for basic apps. If you end up having multiple windows or pop-ups, then you can create more controllers to go along with them.
If you need special data model objects, you can create more classes to deal with them as necessary.
Remember, you connect outlets and/or actions to instances of objects. Not classes. IB can create instances of classes if it makes sense to do so.
|Feb 12, 2013, 01:50 PM
I did some further research on Application Delegates and Objective-C/Cocoa interface-based applications and see that the App Delegate should only be used for application-level stuff. I think what I'll do (for now) is have a separate file for all outlets/actions which then call methods from a set of "core" logic files. I now have to change the controller(s) and migrate/fix some code, but I'm learning so much
EDIT: So you're saying a new view controller per Window/pop-up? Do you also create new '.xib's per view controller? I'm still a bit new to file organization.

Of course, the answer is always "it depends". For something like a modal dialog box, there are already Cocoa routines to create those and return the user response. So you wouldn't need a separate controller for that. Standard dialogs (open file, print, etc.) already have standard Cocoa calls.
For non-modal, do whatever makes sense. I once wrote an app that would allow the user to bring up multiple little stopwatch windows. In that case, the user could start several of them. So I put the window and controller for the stopwatch in a separate xib. Each user request to start a new stopwatch instantiated a new window/controller pair from that "stopwatch" xib.
But if you have an optional extra window where it's showing or not showing (like, say, a high score window) then you could just add it to your existing xib.
Different problems call for different solutions.

Consider, for example: you create a queue manager object. The object would probably contain a NSMutableArray to hold the queue, but other objects would not be able to actually see the array, they would only be able to add and pull entries, and possibly clear the queue. In this case, I would see no good reason not to access the array ivar directly from your object's methods.
@property/@synthesize offers two important functions: one is that setter methods can transparent broadcast a notification to other interested objects when the property changes, tremendously reducing the amount of coding you have to do; the other is that accessors are typically thread-safe, unless you specifically mark the properties otherwise.

Objective-C is a really elegant and fun language to learn and use, and Xcode has evolved to the point where tricky things like memory management and tracking down bugs has become a fraction of the burden it once was.
App Delegate:
There's no theoretical reason why you can't write all your code within the app delegate -- after all, even if you write a program made of a hundred files, they're ultimately concatenated into one file anyway. But, in the interest of creating code that's clear, intuitive and reusable, Apple will tell you to follow the "Model View Controller" design pattern.
"Views" are the kinds of objects you manipulate in Interface Builder -- designed to perform highly standardized tasks and reporting them through Actions to their Targets, but otherwise have no innate intelligence.
The "Model" is the object that stores the custom data relevant to your app -- like a deck of cards and the order they're in -- as well as custom methods designed to make it easy for other objects to ask about or modify that data.
"Controllers" are the intelligent link between Views and Models. Tasks for a Controller could be summarized by phrases like, "the user just tapped the 'take a card' button, so I'll call the method in the Model that provides the name of the next card," or "now that I have the name of the next card, I'll display that name to the user in the appropriate view." (Confusingly, a "View Controller", such as an instance of UIViewController, is a "controller." It's called a "View Controller" because it's responsible for managing a View, as well as the subviews it contains. Anyway.) Typically, you should start a new project an Xcode template that already includes some kind of UIViewController object. I would suggest -- just to nurture habits -- that even if you write all your code in one place, you do it in the implementation file for your main View Controller.
Anyway, that was a huge answer, but I hope it gives you some kind of vague orientation. The enormous advantage of the Model View Controller pattern is that, if it's done properly, you could -- for example -- reuse the model elsewhere with entirely different views and controllers with virtually no trouble. You're *already* using view objects that have been designed with this kind of reusability in mind.
With the templates available in Xcode, simple apps may not even need to modify the App Delegate file. However, you can use it to handle things like changes related to the app's state when the user is multitasking.
Outlets and Actions:
View objects use Actions to call methods that you write in code. Almost always, they call these methods to report on some interactions with the user. Your code uses Outlets to access the views they point to, usually in order to adjust and configure them in response to that interaction, or to changes in your Model. Put another way, messages sent with Actions go in the direction from the user to your code, and messages sent using Outlets go in the opposite direction: from your code to the user.
Directly accessing instance variables:
Having accessor methods and property declarations is usually preferable to accessing instance variables directly. There's never any harm in using accessors, even when the entire business of doing so is hidden within an object's implementation. In your case, yes -- use code like "self.variable = string" instead of "_variable" = string.
I've found there's almost never any need to declare instance variables in header files -- you should think of header files as something presented publicly to other people (or to anthropomorphize, other objects in your program) with the goal of exposing clearly and at a glance, the competencies of the object. If there are instance variables that are necessary to the operation of the object, but not necessary for other objects to know about, they can be declared at the top of the implementation file using a Category. Other objects should *never* access an object's instance variables directly -- instead, those variables can be exposed in the header file using property declarations.
Getting the most out of Objective-C really depends on your understanding of the concepts its developers had in mind. There are a two great resources to continue orienting yourself:
- Stanford's "Coding Together" course on iTunes U. Even the first class session will help a ton and help demystify some of your main questions.
- Apple's documentation. It's designed to be understood, and it's extremely rich and well-written. It's worth wincing and spending a couple of minutes really trying to understand each sentence and paragraph at first, and the documentation for some of the classes provide good models on which you can base your own header files before starting to implement them. It includes a lot of articles on the basics of Objective-C, as well as tutorials and programming guides that walk you through most of these good habits.

There are some rare cases where direct ivar access is required in API-driven C callbacks. The only one that comes to mind is callbacks on Core Audio's real time rendering threads, where any calls into the Objective-C runtime are a bad idea. Generally, in a C callback, you can pass in an object pointer via the context info parameter, then cast that from void * to the object type in question, and send it messages (call methods).
Direct ivar access is very slightly faster, but the difference is so small as to be irrelevant except in the most extreme situations. In any case premature optimization is a bad thing. If you profile your code and find that accessor method calls are really the bottleneck (again, very rare), then you could think about switching to direct ivar access, but you shouldn't disregard the disadvantages of direct access for some hypothetical, unlikely performance benefit.

Natural gas and oil from new sources such as Bakken shale and Canada's tar sands are being touted these days as keys to North American energy independence. This is understandable: Both natural gas and unconventionally produced oil are potentially large energy sources for the United States and the rest of North America that were not fully considered until recently. But their futures in the U.S. may be headed in opposite directionsMany of our country's most influential transportation decision-makers — especially state and local governments, vehicle manufacturers and long-haul shipping businesses — are working hard to make natural gas a much bigger part of our country's transportation system. This follows a similar shift toward natural gas for generating electricity. Today one-third of all
