(US) Announcing the Addition to the WLSCM Catalogue of Two New Editions
(DE) 1844 Kützing's The Science of the Piano Forte architecture (German language) - 1844 Das Wissenschaftliche der Fortepiano Baukunst
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
(UK) Beethoven the Pianist (Tilman Skowroneck, author) (Cambridge University Press) (2010)
The widely held belief that Beethoven was a rough pianist, impatient with his instruments, is not altogether accurate: it is influenced by anecdotes dating from when deafness had begun to impair his playing. Presenting a new, detailed biography of Beethoven's formative years, this book reviews the composer's early career, outlining how he was influenced by teachers, theorists and instruments.
(UK) Women Players in England, 1500–1660, edited by Pamela Allen Brown and Peter Parolin (Ashgate, 2008)
Offering evidence of women's extensive contributions to the theatrical landscape, this volume sharply challenges the assumption that the stage was 'all male' in early modern England. The editors and contributors argue that the pervasiveness of female performance affected cultural production, even on the professional London stages that used men and boys for women's parts. English spectators saw women players in professional and amateur contexts, in elite and popular settings, at home and abroad. Women acted in scripted and improvised roles, performed in local festive drama, and took part in dancing, singing, and masquing. English travelers saw professional actresses on the continent and Italian and French actresses visited England.
(UK) Colonial Counterpoint Music in Early Modern Manila -- D. R. M. Irving (Author)
In this groundbreaking study, D. R. M. Irving reconnects the Philippines to current musicological discourse on the early modern Hispanic world. For some two and a half centuries, the Philippine Islands were firmly interlinked to Latin America and Spain through transoceanic relationships of politics, religion, trade, and culture.
(US) Web Library of Seventeenth-Century Music (WLSCM) -- Newly published works
We are pleased to announce the publication of two serenatas for solo voices and strings, both attributed to "Sig.r Scarlatti," in an edition by Marie-Louise Catsalis; see Nos. 17 of the WLSCM Catalogue. Two other editions are forthcoming in the very near future–please check back!
(FR) "Les cantates de J.-S. Bach : Textes, traductions, commentaires" -- Newly Published from Éditions Fayard (March 2010)
Long unknown to the general public of music lovers, the cantatas of Bach are today enjoying the excitement that justifies this incomparable treasure. Recording compendiums are increasing, as well as concert series have gained increasing popularity. The spiritual content of church cantatas, along with a complex German language and the multiple connotations of booklets have hampered access to an audience filled with the Passions and oratorios. As for the secular cantatas, they still remain separate from programs.

(IE) Introducing the new eBook: PLAYING THE BAROQUE HARPSICHORD (2010) in EBook format
Bray Baroque announces its newest title: Playing the Baroque Harpsichord (2010)
Essays on the instrument, interpretation and performance, with relevant topics for the clavichord and organ. By C. Di Veroli.
This is an integrated collection of updated and expanded essays, some of them endorsed by leading harpsichordists. Only a few chapters are specific for the harpsichord: most of the book applies to all the Baroque keyboard instruments and some chapters to general Baroque music interpretation topics. Several colour figures are included, as well as musical examples from well-known Baroque works. The reader will find here the answer to well-known long-standing problems. Thorough guidance is provided on difficult matters such as ornamentation, articulation, tempi, registration, sesquialter rhythms, notes inégales and further topics that have been found to be useful to the modern performer of Baroque keyboard music, whether amateur, advanced student or professional player.
(US) Sarge Gerbode's Lute Page -- 3000 Lute Pieces in French Tablature
"I have collected these pieces over the years from the internet or have entabulated and/or arranged or realized them myself. I have edited all of them and formatted them to fit nicely on US letter size paper (8.5 x 11 in), though some are formatted for US legal size (8.5 x 14 in). I have not formatted any for A4, as life is too short. Again, if you have Fronimo, it is pretty easy to reformat these to taste. I have tried to create performable copy in all cases. These pieces are mostly for renaissance lute, but quite a few are for baroque lute and archlute, and a very few for theorbo, cittern, bandora, guitar etc. Other pieces include songs and continuo pieces, listed by composer. Under Lute ensemble in the list of composers, you will find pieces for two or more lutes. Source facsimiles are now grouped together in one place.
(BE) SUMMER SCHOOL CAPPELLA PRATENSIS - The Petrucci Files: A New Beginning (Aug. 23-29, 2010)

I've recently been tasked with increasing standards and efficiency within a development team. I've read similar posts about the makings of a good development team but these often discuss the human elements such as "passion for learning", "being a team player" etc. These are all of course important but I'm particularly interested in ideas surrounding practical methodologies.
Some are just plain obvious, for example, my first implementations are:
- Implementation of Source Control - well, do I have to even explain why?
- A structured method of deploying builds that everybody adheres to - makes deployment easier for all involved
- Coding standards - ensures everybody is working in the same way and (hopefully) reduces technical debt
- Encouragement to make use of the developer community e.g. StackOverFlow and the like - keeps us in the loop with the big bad world and brings in ideas from outside our office walls
What practical methodology does your team employ that you feel makes a tremendous difference to the productivity and overall "goodness" of a development team?

General information
WisDOT generally defines a bridge as - any structure spanning 20 feet or more that carries motor vehicle traffic.
- Wisconsin has about 13,600 bridges spanning state and local
- Of these, about 4,900 are along the state highway system (numbered state and federal highways) and are the responsibility of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
- The state highway system carries some 60 percent of the state's overall traffic load.
- Approximately 8,700 bridges are located along the local roadway system (county and town roads and municipal streets) and are the responsibility of local governments.
- The overall number of bridges fluctuates from year to year as new bridges are added to the system as part of construction projects, while some older bridges may be permanently removed.
All bridges in Wisconsin are designed and constructed with one primary thought in mind – public safety. Additional considerations are longevity and contributions to economic growth. State and local bridges are inspected at least once every two years. WisDOT is responsible for inspections of all bridges along the state highway system. Municipalities handle inspections for bridges along the local roadway system. WisDOT and local governments closely follow federal guidelines in their bridge inspection and maintenance procedures.
Along with inspecting and maintaining its own bridges, WisDOT works closely with cities, villages and towns to rehabilitate and replace aging bridges. For example, WisDOT oversees the Local Bridge Improvement Assistance program that helps rehabilitate and replace, on a cost-shared basis, the most seriously deficient bridges along the local highway system. A Lift Bridge Aids program reimburses several Wisconsin cities for costs associated with the operation of lift bridges. And each year, WisDOT returns a portion of all state-collected transportation revenues to local governments in the form of General Transportation Aids (GTA) to help municipalities build and maintain local roads and bridges. In 2012, GTA payments to local governments will total about $404 million.
All of Wisconsin's 13,600 bridges are inspected at least once every two years and sometimes more frequently depending on a bridge's age, traffic load and any known deficiencies or load restrictions. Inspection dates and reports for all Wisconsin bridges can be found on the Highway Structures Information System portion of the WisDOT web site.
There are different types of bridge inspections from routine to in-depth depending on a bridge's individual characteristics and needs. WisDOT's trained bridge inspectors follow Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards and guidelines. Some smaller bridges can be inspected on foot, while others require use of a special "reach-all" vehicle with a jointed arm and bucket that provides inspectors an up-close look at the underside of a bridge. Depending on the size of a bridge, weather conditions and other factors, a bridge inspection can take from one hour to more than a week. During bridge inspections, certified inspectors survey:
- the superstructure or beams that support the deck looking for cracks, rust, or any problems with bolts or rivets.
- the substructure units (which support the superstructure).
- bridge approaches and the deck or surface of the bridge.
- on bridges over large bodies of water, inspections require divers to check supporting piers.
Following a thorough review of the deck, superstructure and substructure, bridges are assigned a "sufficiency rating" number between one and 100. The rating takes into account some 75 factors reviewed during an inspection and also considers a bridge's age, length and width, and the average amount of traffic the bridge handles. WisDOT uses the sufficiency ratings to help prioritize bridge improvements. Under WisDOT's Local Bridge Improvement Assistance program,, municipalities are eligible for rehabilitation funding on bridges with sufficiency ratings less than 80, and replacement funding on bridges with sufficiency ratings less than 50. Each year, all states including Wisconsin are required to submit a report to the FHWA that reviews the condition of its bridges.
Generally defined by WisDOT as any structure spanning 20 feet or more that carries motor vehicle traffic.
The pavement surface of a bridge on which vehicles travel.
Deck truss bridge
On a deck truss bridge, the superstructure typically consists of two or more parallel trusses that are the main load-carrying members of the bridge and the roadway is placed on top of the main members. WisDOT no longer builds deck truss bridges on the state system as they have been replaced with more modern designs. There are currently 14 deck truss bridges along the Wisconsin highway system similar in design to the I-35 bridge that collapsed in Minnesota. WisDOT took immediate steps to inspect these bridges following the Minnesota tragedy. The inspections found no significant problems and reaffirmed the bridges are safe for public travel.
Fracture critical
A fracture-critical bridge typically has a steel superstructure with load (tension) carrying members arranged in a manner in which if one fails, the bridge could partially or totally collapse. Examples of fracture critical bridges are two girder bridges or most truss bridges. A fracture critical designation does not mean a bridge is unsafe. Today, virtually all new bridges built along Wisconsin's state highway system are redundant or constructed in such a fashion that should one bridge component fail, other elements will pick up the load to avoid a collapse.
Functionally obsolete
Engineering term frequently used to describe older bridges that no longer meet modern geometric standards. For example, it could refer to a bridge with narrow lanes or shoulders. A bridge classified as functionally obsolete does not mean the bridge is unsafe for public travel.
Gusset plates
Metal plates used to connect bridge components and transfer weight between the components. Gusset plates are typically bolted or riveted together.
Constructing a bridge in such a way that if one element should fail, other components will pick up the load to avoid a collapse. Today, virtually all new bridges WisDOT builds along the state highway system are redundant.
Structurally deficient
Engineering term referring to a bridge with one or more elements that will require attention. The classification does not mean the bridge is unsafe for travel. For example, it could refer to a combination of elements on a bridge such as potholes on a bridge deck or rust on metal trusses. These have little to no impact on a bridge's overall safe function. Depending on the extent of the structural deficiency, the bridge may be load-posted until improvements are completed.
Sufficiency rating
A computed numerical value between zero and 100 used to help determine a bridge's priority for rehabilitation or replacement and eligibility for state or federal funding. The rating considers structural factors noted during a bridge inspection, a bridge's geometry and the amount of traffic the bridge handles. A bridge with a sufficiency rating of 80 or less is eligible for bridge rehabilitation funding. A bridge with a sufficiency rating of 50 or less is eligible for replacement funding.

A learning object is "a collection of content items, practice items, and assessment items that are combined based on a single learning objective". The term is credited to Wayne Hogins when he created a working group in 1994 bearing the name though the concept was first described by Gerard in 1967. Learning objects go by many names, including content objects, chunks, educational objects, information objects, intelligent objects, knowledge bits, knowledge objects, learning components, media objects, reusable curriculum components, nuggets, reusable information objects, reusable learning objects, testable reusable units of cognition, training components, and units of learning. Learning objects offer a new conceptualization of the learning process: rather than the traditional "several hour chunk", they provide smaller, self-contained, re-usable units of learning. They will typically have a number of different components, which range from descriptive data to information about rights and educational level. At their core, however, will be instructional content, practice, and assessment. A key issue is the use of metadata. Learning object design raises issues of portability, and of the object's relation to a broader learning management system. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Learning Objects)

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
Disabled parking license plates
Are you eligible?
Any person certified by an authorized health care specialist as having a permanent disability is eligible for disabled parking license plates. By legal definition, this includes any person who:
- Cannot walk 200 feet or more without stopping to rest.
- Cannot walk without the use of, or assistance from, another person or brace, cane, crutch, prosthetic device, wheelchair or other assistance device.
- Is restricted by lung disease to the extent that forced expiratory volume for one second when measured by spirometry is less than one liter or the arterial oxygen tension is less than 60 mm/hg on room air at rest.
- Uses portable oxygen.
- Has a cardiac condition to the extent that functional limitations are classified in severity as class III or IV, according to standards accepted by the American Heart Association.
- Is severely limited in the ability to walk due to an arthritic, neurological or orthopedic condition.
If the disability that qualifies you for disabled parking privileges is a result of an injury incurred while in active U.S. Military service, you may apply for disabled veteran license plates. Disabled veteran license plates provide the same parking privileges as disabled parking license plates.
A person with a temporary disability does not qualify for disabled parking license plates, but may qualify for a temporary disabled parking identification permit.
Persons that qualify
Disabled parking license plates may be issued to a person with a permanent disability that limits or impairs the ability to walk, who is one of the following:
- Owner of a vehicle.
- Lessee of a vehicle.
- Person who is regularly transported by the owner or lessee of a vehicle.
- Employee who is provided a vehicle owned or leased by the employer.
- Beneficiary of a trust that owns or leases a vehicle.
Vehicles that qualify
The following vehicles qualify for disabled parking license plates:
- Automobile.
- Motor home (annual registration only).
- Private truck, dual purpose motor home or dual purpose farm truck that has a gross weight of 8,000 pounds or less.
- A farm truck that has a gross weight of 12,000 pounds or less.
- Motorcycle (non-personalized only)
Disabled parking license plates use
A motor vehicle displaying disabled parking license plates issued by Wisconsin or any other state or country is subject to all Wisconsin motor vehicle laws and qualifies for certain privileges.
- May park in spaces marked by official traffic signs reserving the space for vehicles displaying VET or DIS plates or a disabled parking identification (DIS ID) permit.
- Exempt from any parking ordinance imposing time limits of one-half hour or more, and is subject to the laws relating to parking.
- May park at a municipally-owned/leased lot without payment in metered spaces when the time limit is one-half hour or more. (Payment may be required for privately-owned parking lots or those with an attendant.)
- May obtain fuel from a full-service pump at the same price as the fuel from a self-service pump at locations with both types of service, if the driver is the person with the disability. The driver of the vehicle must ask for the same price as charged for fuel dispensed from a self-service pump. The retailer is not required to provide any other service that is not provided to customers who use a self-service pump.
Things you should know
- A person with disabled parking license plates may be issued one permanent disabled parking identification (DIS ID) permit.
- If you have a valid DIS ID permit, due to a permanent disability, health care certification is not required at this time to receive disabled parking license plates.If you have two permits, one must be returned with the application for disabled parking license plates.
- If preferred, a person may receive up to two permanent DIS ID permits instead of disabled parking license plates. The permits may be used in any auto, light truck or motor home providing transportation to the qualifying person.
- A person with disabled parking plates and/or a permanent disability DIS ID permit must be re-certified by an authorized health care specialist every four years.
- WisDOT may cancel disabled parking license plates that were issued as a result of fraud or error or that were used by anyone not authorized to do so.
- If you are a licensed driver, WisDOT may review your disability to make sure you are able to exercise ordinary and reasonable control of a motor vehicle. If the certifying health care specialist recommends a re-examination, you will be required to complete a knowledge, highway signs and road test to determine any license restrictions.

Baa Atoll, Maldives, 18 December 2011: YAMAK, a group of 26 boduberu performers from Kamadhoo have been crowned champions of the Saqaafee Vaadha Baa Youth Boduberu Challenge 2011.
Held at Baa Kamadhoo on December 16 and 17, 2011, the event kicked off to a roaring start with Hon Hassan Latheef, Minister of Human Resources, Youth and Sports; and Mr Armando Kraenzlin, Regional Vice President and General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Landaa Giraavaru beating the drums in rhythm. The Challenge saw six groups of performers aged 15 to 25 years old compete across six songs for a prize of MRF 100,000 to fund a community project and MRF 10,000 cash for themselves.
A panel of 4 judges: Ali Ahmed, President of Varutha Cultural Association; Mohamed Areef, Vice-President of Varutha; Shaaz Shareef, composer and music instructor; and Fazloon Hameed, co-founder of Varutha awarded YAMAK the highest overall score for drumming, cultural dances and singing based on cohesion, authenticity and originality across two exciting and hotly contested days of competition. The event came to a rousing end on December 17 with many of the local islanders joining in the fiesta of music and dance.
The Challenge was organised by Four Seasons Resorts Maldives in conjunction with Male'- based cultural arts institution, Varutha. In addition to celebrating the Baa Atoll's designation as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the tournament also strived to highlight the importance of optimum social, economic and cultural conditions for environmental sustainability.
Speaking at the end of the tournament, Armando Kraenzlin paid tribute to the commitment, enthusiasm and talent of all the participating groups. "The Challenge itself, and the preceding workshop run by Varutha, have been a fantastic demonstration of the Baa's Atoll's rich cultural heritage, and the determination of the local youth to embrace and sustain it," he commented. "The groups have done themselves and their Atoll proud."
The Organising Committee of the Baa Youth Boduberu Challenge 2011 wish to thank and congratulate all the participating groups: Jamihyathul Vafa Eveylaa Boduberu Group, Eydhafushi; Kihaadhoo New Generation, Kihaadhoo; YAMAK, Kamadhoo; Dhonfanu Boduberu Group, Dhonfanu; Dhanberu, Maalhos; and Dhanberu, Dharavandhoo.

Alexander Skarsgard of 'True Blood' Is Bitingly Handsome – The Daily Swoon
We are starting to go through 'True Blood' withdrawals around here, so allow us a moment to appreciate the handsomeness that is Alexander Skarsgard.
On 'True Blood,' he plays Eric Northman, a Nordic vampire who is super attractive and super cocky, and he has a thing for Sookie because everyone does, and it's really annoying.
Anyway, he spends most of his time on the show in sexy clothes or naked, which is okay by us. The Swedish (that explains so much) Skarsgard comes from an acting family — his father is the great Stellan Skarsgard. And Alexander wasn't raised in some posh environment, either; his father and mother raised their family in a working class neighborhood in Sweden so they could learn the value of hard work and stay honest.
Alexander has also starred in the HBO series 'Generation Kill' and the 'Straw Dogs' remake from a couple of years ago. He is ridiculously tall at 6'4″ and has the face (and body) of a Nordic statue. In fact, his body is so amazing that just looking at it will probably make you burn, like, half the calories from your breakfast.

Dr James Andrews or retire
I see alot of one-siddedness on here, im frustrated that he isnt playing as well but if your going to tell the whole story tell it.
Gordon-- "It's an honor and a priviledge just to be part of this organization as a player."
Gordon: "I only played 9 games last year. I haven't played any this year. It's been frustrating to watch guys play and not be a part of it.
"Gordon said he will receive update from doctors this weekend on knee. "I'm looking forward to see what the doctors say."
"I've been injured since I've been here. It's tough as a player... It has been very frustrating not to be able to do your job."
I don't think it is the training staff. When CP3 had knee issues...they fixed it and brought him along slowly until he was able to go full speed. And I think it was the same scope type surgery CP3 had. And CP played...
He's saying that he suffered a setback between the Olympic tryouts and Voluntary workouts with the team. WTF was he doing between then?!?!?
I'm sorry but to me...just after analyzing the comments from both sides...it seems like maybe he didn't tell them what was going on. Or this is just a mental thing. I just can't sit here a believe that if this problem was really a major problem they wouldn't have taken care of it right away.....
Last edited by Miss_318; 11-01-2012 at 01:22 PM.
When CP3 had a serious injury he went to Dr. James Andrews. Chris Paul had the torn part of his meniscus removed. Don't think it was the same thing.
Clearly MRI and doctor assessments from hornets staff showed no structural damages to Gordon's knee. Monty and Dell expect Gordon to play.
Gordons now being a ***** and complaining that his knee hurts (we all know this means he wants out)
To get out of being liable for breaching his contract terms, Gordons team is asking for more tests on the basis that his knee still hurts. They will probably get one of their doctors to go through the MRI thoroughly until he finds the smallest little inconstancy that could possibly explain some type of knee pain. Gordon's team will go the Hornets and say trade him now and until you do so he is sitting and you can't sue us because here are the doctors results.
This is worst case scenario.
If I were the Hornets I would say screw it, let Gordon sit for 4 years ruin his legacy and reputation and fight him tooth and nail in court so all of his sponsors back away from him and he wastes all his money on legal bills
Best case scenario: He is legitimately hurt and he is a whiny little *****.
Look man, you can't expect a guy to play if they think they are injured. This same thing ruined Grant Hill career because he was playing on a foot that the doctors could not find the problem and continually cleared to play.
I'm not defending the guy by any means. I think if Austin Rivers has that same injury he's playing, whether he has a Grant Hill like injury arc or not. You just can't say the guy is trying to get traded because anyone who sat in that arena and saw the potential of this team last night can't be stupid enough to want out.
Guys I am legitimately depressed about something Hornets related for the first time in a loooong time.
After watching the video of his comments posted on H247, I am less pessimistic about the man. The video comments come off a lot better than the quotes we were receiving. Always tough to tell if someone is being genuine, but maybe, just maybe we should still give the guy a chance. I admit I flip flopped big time since my earlier post but I do try to have faith in the good heartedness of people and I, like a lot of people, was reacting in the moment as the tweets came in. Here's to hoping one day we get to see a healthy Eric Gordon in a Hornets uniform and that he finds health and peace here because we know the talent he possesses. If not, so be it.
I do have to admit that after watching the video, I'm back where I started: wondering what is really going on. He made the effort to say nice things about the city and the team, that's worth something at least. Folks on the board have been hoping to hear stuff like that. But overall this situation is still weird.
Adrian Peterson, Jammal Charles and Rashard Mendenhall all blew out their acl's last year and came back to perform at a high level in a sport that is more physically punishing than basketball.
"I am sorry if what I say hurts your feelings....Wait, no I'm not!"

For children like 10-year-old Angela, whose family is struggling to overcome poverty in Haiti, access to education has always been a challenge — even before life was turned upside-down by the January 2010 quake.
With more than half the population struggling to survive on less than $1.25 a day, many parents can barely afford food, let alone pay necessary school fees. As a result, one in two primary school-age children do not attend classes.
Without the help of World Vision, Angela would be among them. But child sponsorship has enabled Angela and other children from her community in the La Gonave area to pursue their education, even following January's quake. Though most World Vision child sponsorship communities were outside the worst devastation, Angela's family was hit especially hard. In the wake of this disaster, World Vision has given families like Angela's the support needed to recover from the earthquake and equipped them to begin building new lives.
The day the earthquake struck is one Angela will never forget. "I was in the front of the house playing," she recalls. "The ground started shaking. I was scared, but my father told me to stay with my brothers and sisters."
Thankfully, Angela's family survived — but their house did not. For two weeks after the disaster, her family lived amid the rubble of their home, attempting to shelter themselves with dried branches. "It's what many people did," explains Angela's father, Noisis.
World Vision had already been active in the La Gonave area for 10 years, working to promote community development by increasing access to education and healthcare and providing families with income-generating opportunities.
Following the earthquake, World Vision rapid response teams assessed the situation in La Gonave and offered emergency assistance to affected families. Lacking the money or materials to rebuild their home, Angela's family was provided with a transitional shelter that gave them a safe, dry place to live as the rainy season approached.
But survival was still a challenge. "Sometimes, life is unkind," says Angela's mother, Betty. Barely able to make ends meet before the quake, the family found it nearly impossible in the aftermath. "It's difficult to work and make money here," adds Betty.
That's why World Vision started a cash-for-work program in La Gonave. This program gave Noisis the chance to earn income for his family by helping to repair local roads. Each month, Angela's family also receives wheat, corn, oil, and flour to help keep them nourished and healthy.
In addition to meeting immediate needs for food and shelter, World Vision is helping quake-affected families in sponsorship communities, like La Gonave, to take active, effective steps for their future. For children like Angela, returning to school is a critical step in this process.
Engrossed in her homework, it's clear that Angela is grateful to be back in school. Thanks to the involvement of World Vision and the support of her sponsor, this young girl has a reason to believe that she can overcome her circumstances and achieve her dreams. Inspired by her experience in a World Vision health clinic, Angela declares, "I want to be a nurse and look after small babies."
Though she lost her home in the 2010 earthquake, sponsorship has helped 10-year-old Angela and her family begin to build a new life.
Angela and her family outside their new transitional shelter provided by World Vision. World Vision continues to support Angela's family by providing food and income-generating opportunities.

The dogs rescued from a Bronx dog fighter's basement last year are finally getting justice. Raul Sanchez, who pleaded guilty to dog fighting a few weeks ago, is now heading to prison.
Last week a judge sentenced Sanchez to one to three years for animal fighting, one year for animal cruelty and one year for criminal possession of a weapon. (Sanchez will serve these sentences concurrently.)
He's also been slapped with a ban on keeping animals for the duration of his parole. Sanchez waived his right to appeal.
We hope Sanchez's sentence serves as a reminder to dog fighters that their crimes against innocent animals carry serious consequences.
You guys have no lives. They're just animals, I don't even know why you're going all crazy over a man getting sentenced, let alone the dogs getting forced to fight, blah blah blah. They won't become extinct anyways, as they breed like gupies
Punishment for abusing dogs should be just a harsh as child abuse. Its a sad world we live in. 3 years?! Seriously. Wow
1-3 years is not much when you consider they rescued over 50 dogs. I think 1-3 years per dog would be much more appropriate.
Still not enough time, I know that one day when the good LORD comes back, that all suffering will cease. that is the only faith I have in mankind because it seems that on a daily basis I can read, hear, or look online about someone abusing animals. I have a rescue, buddy is an australian sheppard, someone beat this dog severely, he has shown me his grateful personality and loyalty. he would never bark and now boy has he found his voice. I named him Buddy because I thought he needed a Buddy to love him and show him not all humans are cruel. I also rescued his girl Sweetie a Chow Chow and boy is she smart, I almost think she understands every word I say LOL. I love animals
I agree, the sentence was not enough. He needed to get sentenced for each dog he abused, not just the act of abusing them. 50 dogs should have been 50 years in jail and not served concurrently and without bail. This is the only way this abuse will ever stop!!!
The sentence Mr. Sanchez received is heading in the right direction, but, unfortunatley, not Nearly severe enough given the nature of his crime. These anmials suffered and were abused for years, thereby being deprived of a life with a loving family that every dog deserves. I think he should have received 5 years with a minimum of at least half served before eligible for parole. And not only for the duration of his parole should he not be allowed to own an animal, but he should Never, again, be allowed to own so much as a parakeet. Why should he ever be trusted to protect and love a dog as every normal person does automatically, without having to be arrested and put in jail with low life criminals??? Everyone else has common sense and knows that animals need to be treated with tender loving care and not abused. In my opinion, the day he started abusing and fighting animals in the ring is the day he lost his rights to owning animals ever again. I would ask that the courts rethink his sentence, or at the very least, revoke animal ownership rights permanently.
I'm happy that prison time is being served but the sentences are way too short for the crime. I don't think the issue is being taken seriously enough with just a year or two in prison.
Animal cruelty is a crime that goes unpunished. As I read the comments I thought with so many good souls to speak up why isn't the crime punished more stringently? Is something wrong with this picture?
we have to step and fight for the animals rights, these little sentences are enough for the REAL ANIMALS that are abusing these innocent animals. we are their voice and we need to step up and do something.
i meant to say these sentences are not enough, they need more time, these sentences are like slaps on the wrist, they'll just come out and do it again

With the current Mojo descriptor extractor, it is possible to inherit Mojo annotations from parent classes, but not across projects. With this, it is e.g. not possible to subclass a "built-in" Maven mojo and inherit the annotations, or to refactor common Mojo code into a separate "Base Mojo" project, because the subclass lives in a different project. Since the annotation inheritance also only looks at parent classes, it is not possible to have annotated Mojo interfaces, e.g. for a Compiler which has different implementations.
To allow this, it should be possible to specify a list of prototypes for a Mojo. The descriptor extractor would then load the descriptors of these prototypes (from the plugin.xml) and merge them into a base descriptor for the Mojo, allowing it to inherit the annotations.
Example with MNG-2521 annotations:
For convenience, the groupId and artifactId default to the current project's values, and the goal to the current annotation's goal.
For this to work, the descriptor extractors should also create descriptors for annotated interfaces and abstract classes. These should be written into the plugin.xml and filtered out by the PluginDiscoverer, so they cannot be accessed normally.

UMMC Ekaterinburg star Candace Parker was voted MVP of the EuroLeague Women Final Eight to cap off a wonderful season and arguably the best of her career in the competition.
The forward, who has been in terrific form right from the start of the campaign, had promised to deliver the goods ahead of the tournament having been given the nod by the champions in favour of fellow star Sue Bird.
Building on her fantastic regular season, she confirmed her status as one of the best players in the world by grabbing her first ever EuroLeague Women title with 24 points and 11 rebounds in the 82-56 Final win against Fenerbahce.
Parker has averaged a double-double of 16.9 points and 10.4 rebounds during the 2012-13 season and incredibly, has racked up a double-digit score in the last 13 consecutive EuroLeague Women games.

Colin Camerer:
Neuroscience, game theory, monkeys
When two people are trying to make a deal — whether they're competing or cooperating — what's really going on inside their brains? Behavioral economist Colin Camerer shows research that reveals just how little we're able to predict what others are thinking. And he presents an unexpected study that shows chimpanzees might just be better at it than we are. (Filmed at TEDxCalTech.)

Founded as a bustling port, Hamburg has grown into an equally bustling hub of nightlife and culture. From the city centre's designer outlets to Speicherstadt's warehouse architecture, this city offers a refreshing site around every turn, and our hotels in Hamburg reflect this versatility.
A gem of Baroque architecture, the Rathaus dominates the city centre – its classically Germanic tower rises above the rooftops, with a close rival in the 17th-century St. Michaelis Church. Art lovers make a beeline for the Kunsthalle, whose collection is replete with Rembrandts, Monets, Cézannes and Picassos.
Visitors flock from our Hamburg hotels to the weekly fischmarkt (fish market) on Sunday mornings, as much a spectacle as a shopping opportunity. The story of maritime Hamburg lives large in the historic Warehouse district, while the popular picnic spot of Alster Lake offers a chance to escape the hubbub on a rented sailing boat.
Hamburg has accommodation for every taste. To catch the beat of the local nightlife, stay near the Reeperbahn, a buzzing strip of clubs, bars and restaurants. It was here that the Beatles made their name in the early 1960s, and red light goings-on aside, this is the brightest, most energetic area of Hamburg once the sun goes down.

This document pertains to HP Notebook PCs with the HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) beginning in late-2008.

HP Notebook PCs - BIOS Setup (F10)
To access the BIOS Setup, turn on the computer and repeatedly press the esc key to enter the Startup Menu, and then press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup utility.
Figure : Example - BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup window consists of options for Security, System Configuration, and Diagnostics.
note:Available options vary depending on the model of the computer and the type of Central Processing Unit (CPU) used.
If the computer is maintained by a system administrator or an IT department, some of the standard BIOS options may be locked out and may not appear on the BIOS Setup window. If the computer is an HP or Compaq business model, it may have HP Protect Tools installed. This is a utility that allows you to password protect access to the BIOS, or examine and alter the BIOS setup.
What options can be changed in the BIOS Setup?
The list below describes the benefits and limitations of the BIOS options.
File - You can obtain detailed information about your system, including the serial number and SKU, restore BIOS defaults, and set the system date and time from this menu.
Security - You can adjust some passwords and access some password utilities from this menu. As you make changes, write down important passwords and put them in a safe location away from your computer.
warning:If you forget certain passwords, such as the drive lock or the power-on password, they cannot be retrieved. Forgetting such passwords requires you to return your computer to HP where it can be reset, and all data on the computer will be lost in the process. This service is not covered by the warranty, and you will be charged a service fee for it.
HP SpareKey - A utility that can help you retrieve system-level passwords, such as the drive lock or power-on passwords. It is not available on all HP computers.
Drive Lock passwords - A drive lock password protects the data on the hard drive using encryption. The data on the hard drive is inaccessible without entering the drive lock password. By default, the drive lock password is turned off.
Power-on passwords - A power-on password prevents anyone from starting the computer until the proper password is entered. With the power-on password enabled, the screen remains black and prompts for a password as soon as the computer is turned on. The power-on password is turned off by default.
Diagnostics - The System Diagnostics menu contains several tests. Each test validates the hardware on the computer. Testing the hardware helps determine if the hardware is causing the operating system to fail to start, or if the operating system is failing to start due to a software-based error. If the hardware is at fault, an error message generates, and a warranty code displays for use with customer service. For more information, refer to the Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) support document.
System Configuration - The System Configuration menu allows you to alter the BIOS settings on the computer, including language options and boot order. If you change the settings in the BIOS, and the computer no longer responds properly, select the Reset to Default option to return the BIOS to the factory configuration.Using the System Configuration menu, you can:
Set which language the BIOS displays.
Enable and disable boot options.
Revise the boot order, including the hard disk drive, optical drive, network drive, and external USB drives.
HP Recommended boot order
HP recommends setting the hard disk drive as the first device in the boot order. If you set the optical drive or network as the first device in the boot order, the startup process can slow down substantially if:
The computer is trying to boot off of the optical drive, but there is no disk in the drive.
The computer is trying to boot off of a network, but no network connection is available.
If you know that you will never boot off of a device other than the hard disk drive, it may be advantageous to you to simply move the boot options that you know you will never use to the bottom of the list in the boot order.
caution:The danger of booting your computer from a USB key or an optical disc that did not come directly from a software manufacturer is that viruses can be contained on either storage medium.
Startup requirements in a corporate environment
The following options are primarily used in corporate environments for security purposes. In some corporate environments, the IT department may lock down these options to prevent users from accessing them.
Enable and disable devices options.
Enable and disable ports.
View and change security levels for the ports on the computer.
Restore security settings to their default levels.
note:Some businesses require their employees to boot their computers from the corporate network for security purposes.
