GARETH DUNCAN looks at the Saffas who impressed in the leagues around the world over the weekend.
In the French Top 14, Toulon have emerged as the only unbeaten team in the league as they enjoyed a 32-25 win over Montpellier. It was the club's fifth straight win, which sees them top the log. And there are two South Africans who have formed a key part in their success this season, which was notable in their latest triumph.
Lock Bakkies Botha continued his fine form for the victors as he displayed a good 80-minute physical performance, while flank Joe van Niekerk came off the bench to score the match-winning try. Former Sharks flyhalf Frederick Michalak added 22 points with the boot, boosting his chances to claim the French No 10 jersey later this year.
Hooker Rassie van Vuuren grabbed a second-half brace for Montpellier, which sparked a potential second-half comeback. Lock Drikus Hancke also started for the losers.
Botha and Van Niekerk (both 32 years old) are veterans, but they have proven with their performances that they could still add value to the Springboks if selected. They would be good additions to Heyneke Meyer's squad during the end-of-year tour in November.
[jwplayer mediaid="108159"]
In other results, scrumhalf Rory Kockott came off the bench to play a match-winning role for Castres in their 28-13 win over Biarritz. The former Sharks and Lions No 9 scored a try, a conversion and four penalties to help his team break down a 13-12 deficit. He did, however, receive a yellow card at the death for offside.
Lock Francois van der Merwe scored a telling try for Racing Metro in their 25-18 away win over flyhalf Jacques-Louis Potgieter, fullback Scott Spedding, wing Sam Gerber and lock Dewald Senekal's Bayonne. Potgieter kicked five penalties for the losers. Flank Bernard le Roux also started for Racing.
Agen flyhalf Conrad Barnard kicked 22 points (two conversions, five penalties and a drop goal) to help his team to a 32-26 win over Grenoble. Lock Ross Skeate and utility back Greg Goosen also got game time in Agen's first victory of the season, while Grenoble fielded outside centre Rudi Coetzee (who scored a try), wing Ronnie Cooke, No 8 Shaun Sowerby, flank Ronald Bernard, lock Naudes Beukes and prop Albertus Buckle.
Bordeaux scrumhalf Heini Adams crossed the chalk in his team's 30-22 triumph over lock Anton van Zyl's Stade Francais.
In England, No 8 Ashley Johnson enjoyed a 43-14 thrashing of London Irish in his first official start for London Wasps. Lock Marco Wentzel also ran on for the victors.
Saffa-laden Saracens remained unbeaten as they fought hard for a 9-9 stalemate against the Leceister Tigers at Wembley, after trailing 9-3 at the break. Inside centre Brad Barritt, scrumhalf Neil de Kock, hooker Schalk Brits, lock Mouritz Botha and No 8 Ernst Joubert all started, while hooker John Smit, prop Petrus du Plessis and lock Alistair Hargreaves featured off the bench.
Joubert is set to be the next South African to play Test rugby for a foreign nation as he recently qualified to play for England.
In the Pro 12, Worcester-born speedster DTH van der Merwe starred in Glasgow's 28-10 away win over wing Hanno Dirksen's Ospreys as he grabbed a brace.
His first try came in the opening moments of the match as he latched on to an early up-and-under and sprinted 70m for an easy run to the whitewash. He completed his double from close range in the second half to help seal the victory against the defending champions, who have now lost in all three rounds so far.
Tighthead prop WP Nel continued the solid start to his European stint with Edinburgh and featured in their 41-10 thrashing of lock Quintin Geldenhuys and No 8 Dries van Schalkwyk's Zebre.
Lock Johann Muller and reserve hooker Rob Herring fronted Ulster to a 20-19 edging of tighthead prop BJ Botha's Munster, while eighthman Andries Pretorius captained the Cardiff Blues to a 16-5 win over the Newport Gwent Dragons.

Cents or Percent? The Effects of Promotion Framing on Price Expectations and Choice
2007, Journal of Marketing
Devon DelVecchio, H. Shanker Krishnan, Daniel C. Smith
Previous research has shown that the monetary value of a promotion (promotion depth) affects choice during the promotion period. However, as promotion depth increases, consumers might lower their expectations of future price, which in turn may threaten future choice when prices return to normal levels. This research examines how promotion frame (percentage-off versus cents-off) moderates the effect of promotion depth on post-promotion price expectations and choice. The findings indicate that compared with cents-off promotions, high-depth percentage-off promotions lead to higher post-promotion price expectations. Likewise, post-promotion choice is higher when high-depth promotions are framed in percentage-off than cents-off terms. The authors examine the process underlying the effect of promotion frame on price expectations and find that frame affects (1) consumers' perceptions of the promoted price and (2) the weight they place on the promoted price.
DelVecchio, Devon, H. Shanker Krishnan, and Daniel C. Smith (2007), "Cents or Percent? The Effects of Promotion Framing on Price Expectations and Choice," Journal of Marketing, Vol. 71, No. 3, pp. 158-170.

Konrad La Prade grew up in newsrooms.
His father was editor of a paper in the Outer Banks, and La Prade remembers running around the newsroom with his brother and talking to reporters. He knew about the news, advertising and production side of the paper since he was a little boy.
"My brother and I spent more time on the floor of the newspaper than anywhere else," La Prade said.
His family moved around, so La Prade spent time in Virginia, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware. Now La Prade is back in North Carolina, this time as the new advertising director of The Gazette. He started Feb. 18. He fills a position vacated by former Advertising Director Brent Powers, who accepted a job with a newspaper in Joplin, Mo.
La Prade oversees advertising for Halifax Media properties The Gazette and The (Shelby) Star.
La Prade, 31, switched from the news to the advertising side of the business at Hillsdale College in Michigan.
"I wrote for the college paper, and when I met and started dating the woman I would eventually marry, she was a much better writer than I was, so I had to switch to the ad side," La Prade said.
He decided he didn't want to compete with her talent. She became the editor of the college paper and La Prade took over as the ad manager.
Joy La Prade also has connections to North Carolina. The daughter of a Navy doctor, her family was stationed at military bases near Cherry Point and Swansboro in the eastern part of the state.
The Gazette's new director started out as a sales representative out of college and worked his way up to heading ad departments. Before coming to The Gazette, La Prade was the regional advertising director of four daily newspapers owned by the Journal Register Co. in New York.
La Prade said he's eager to partner with businesses at a newspaper that remains important to the community.
"The Gazette is not dying. It's a viable, exciting product that reaches 70 percent of the community," La Prade said.
"I'm so pleased to have Konrad join our team," said Gazette Publisher Rick Martin. "His experience and success in print and digital media will serve us well as we look for ways to offer our advertisers new and effective ways to reach an audience. His enthusiasm and love of our industry will be an asset not only to our newspapers but to the community."
La Prade wants to take advantage of the paper's strengths and work with businesses to become their marketing arm and consultant to help businesses grow.
Outside of work, La Prade is a runner who smokes cigars. He hates wearing shoes. He is a Braves fans since he spent a lot of time in Richmond, Va., where the Richmond Braves were the AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. He's also a bit of techie.
La Prade and his wife have two children. Kathryn is 3 1/2 –years old. Jonah is 1-year, three months old. They live in Gastonia.
La Prade encountered some snow when he first came to Gaston County, but he likes being away from New York winter weather. It was 30 degrees and snowing in Albany Friday afternoon when he checked the weather on his iPhone. Gastonia recorded 50 degrees and sunshine.
"So we've both been happy to be back to North Carolina," La Prade said. "I feel like I'm kind of a native."

- What is Student Financial Services?

- How do I apply for federal financial aid?
Students must fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid to apply for federal grants, loans, and work study. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to complete either the electronic FAFSA or to print out a paper FAFSA. UCO recommends completion of the electronic form which is faster and easier than the paper FAFSA.
- What does "FAFSA" mean?
Students must fill out a "Free Application for Federal Student Aid", or "FAFSA", to apply for federal grants, loans, and work study. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to complete either the electronic FAFSA or to print out a paper FAFSA. UCO recommends completion of the electronic form which is faster and easier than the paper FAFSA.
- What types of aid are potentially available?
Central students have awards from the following federal programs:
• Pell Grant
• Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
• Perkins Loan
• Federal Family Education Loan (including subsidized, unsubsidized, and PLUS loans)
• Work Study
• Academic Competitiveness Grant
• National Science & Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant
• Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant
Click here for detailed information online. The Federal Student Guide is also available in the Student Financial Services Office (NUC 141).
Central students also have awards from these Oklahoma programs:
• Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG)
• Oklahoma's Promise (previously called the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program/OHLAP)
- When should I fill out my FAFSA?
Students should complete their FAFSAs as early as possible. Each January, applications are available for the following academic year. Applications, however, can be processed up until the end of the term in which the student is enrolled. For that reason, when completing the FAFSA, students should be very careful to select the correct academic year. For instance, in January 2013, students may fill out 2013-14 applications for the Spring 2013 semester or 2013-14 applications for the Fall 2013 term.
- What is the deadline for completing my FAFSA so the funds will be ready when school starts?
To allow adequate time for processing, UCO recommends filling out the FAFSA by:
May 31 (with file completion by June 30) for Fall semesters;
October 31 (with file completion by November 21) for Spring semesters;
April 1 (with file completion by April 30) for Summer semesters.
- What is Central's school code?
Central's school code is 003152. Inclusion of this number on the FAFSA causes the application's data to be sent to UCO.
- Can I call the Central (FAFSA) Processor?
Yes, the telephone number is 1 (800) 433-3243.
- If I am transferring to UCO from another school, what should I know about getting financial aid?
- UCO receives financial aid information about a student when the UCO school code is entered as part of an aid application. If the UCO school code is not part of the original application, the Student Aid Report (SAR) must be adjusted to include it (See next question for "How do I adjust my Student Aid Report (SAR)?
- When students transfer from an institution that expects them to receive federal aid, the student should notify them of the transfer to prevent pending aid from being distributed at the wrong institution.
- Financial aid will review coursework from the initial institution(s). Official transcripts must be on file with either the Office of Undergraduate Admissions or the Graduate College.
- Students under the age of 24 who were previously classified as independent by another institution should prepare to have their dependency status re-evaluated. Students can secure the 'Request for Dependency Override' from NUC 141 or via this link. The completed form and the required documentation must be returned either in person, via the mail (UCO Box 162, 100 N University Drive, Edmond, OK 73034) or by fax at (405) 340-7658. Completed requests are reviewed as soon as possible.
- As with all aid applications, verification documents may be required. All requested documents must be submitted before the application is processed.
- In order to avoid late payment penalties, applications must be completed by June 30 For Fall Semesters,Wednesday before Thanksgiving For Spring Semesters, and April 30 For Summer Semesters.
- How do I adjust my Student Aid Report (SAR)?
Student Aid Reports (SARs) can be updated either online or over the telephone. To update the SAR online, go to fafsa.ed.gov and update the application with UCO's school code of 003152. This can also be done over the phone. Call (800) 433-3243. The phone call option requires the student to have access to their Date Release Number (DRN). It is located in the upper right hand corner of the paper SAR.
- What does it mean when you are selected for verification?
Students are randomly selected for verification by the Department of Education. Verification is a process where the Financial Aid office is required to review student and/or student's parent(s) tax records and compare them with the information that is provided in the FAFSA application.
- How long does the verification process take to complete?
The verification process can take up to two weeks to occur based upon the date that the last required document was received.
- I can't find my W-2s. What should I do?
Additional copies of W-2s can be obtained directly from the IRS. The IRS will fax the document to UCO at the student's request. The fax number is (405) 340-7658. The IRS will also fax it to the student directly. This service is free as long as a transcript is ordered.
- How long does it take for UCO to receive FAFSA results?
FAFSA data that is submitted electronically is usually received within two weeks of the completion of the online FAFSA. Results from paper forms are usually available at around four weeks. During high traffic periods (like the beginning of a semester), both could take longer. Please note that UCO only accepts the FAFSA date from students that are already admitted (although this is very likely to change).
- What are the general requirements for receiving financial aid?
- Applicants for federal and state aid programs generally must meet the following criteria:
- Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen.
- Applicants must demonstrate financial need (except for some loan programs).
- Applicants must have either a high school diploma or a GED certificate.
- Applicants must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working towards a UCO degree or in a certificate program at UCO.
- Applicants cannot be in default on a student loan or in repayment to a federal grant program.
- Applicants must meet UCO's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy requirements. Click here to view UCO's SAP Policy.
- What is a consortium agreement, and does UCO have general consortium agreements with other Oklahoma colleges/universities?
A Consortium Agreement is a contract between two colleges/universities that recognizes the registration of a student at each site for financial aid purposes. It also certifies that only one of the two colleges/universities will administer Title IV financial aid for the student.
The Consortium Agreement refers to the two colleges/universities as the "Home Campus" and the "Visiting Campus": The Home Campus is the school where the student is fully matriculated and from which he/she will get a degree. The Visiting Campus is where the student temporarily takes courses, whose credits will be transferred back to his/her "Home Campus".
Central has general consortium agreements with the following:
• East Central University
• Eastern Oklahoma State College
• Langston University
• Northeastern State University
• Northwestern Oklahoma State University
• Oklahoma Christian University
• Oklahoma City Community College
• Oklahoma State University - Oklahoma City
• Redlands Community College
• Rose State College
- What is the minimum number of hours required to receive financial aid?
Federal Pell Grant eligibility requires undergraduate students to be enrolled with the intention of completing a degree or certificate. Other grant and loan programs require undergraduate students must be enrolled in 6 credit hours to be considered for federal financial aid. Graduate students must be enrolled in 5 credit hours for federal loan eligibility.
- Does financial aid consider audited courses?
Audited courses are NOT considered for financial aid eligibility.

One facet of Sam's book I have not seen mentioned here, and that is propaganda. When I read this book I couldn't help but feel that I was reading something from the state department. It practically screamed "don't pay attention to political causes, its all religion!"
The opening sets that up nicely, painting suicide bombers as religious madmen. A BBC crew went to Iraq where they contacted many who were training to be suicide bombers-NONE were religious fundamentalists, and several weren't religious at all. In Sam's big list of conflagurations, virtually none are religious, despite Sam's insistence that they are. Ireland is a good example, you really have to misread that conflict to think that Catholic Irish just really didn't like British non-deference to the Pope.
Where it is most clear, however, is the chapter on Islam. It's always a treat to see wherever a critic 'takes on Chomsky', but this was really hilarious. Even though Sam acknowledges virtually everything Chomsky says about US foreign policy 'being the root of all evil', his argument against that is downright childish. That Bush would have only killed bad men if he could was surely a joke. Last year NATO pilots (primarily US ones) were responsible for more deaths in Afghanistan than the Taliban. This was due to the practise of bombing homes where insurgents fled, even though it was known that in most cases those living in the homes were innocent civilians. That's hardly 'trying really hard to only get bad guys'.
Sam's insistence that 'we' are actually 'a giant who sometimes does bad things but with good intentions' is backed up only with the reassurance that it really is true, ironically putting the same faith in the supposition that he targets religious people for doing in the rest of the book.
Outside of the US most people simply take it for granted that 9/11 was a backlash against US use of force and its presence in the middle east. The US by far outranks any terrorist organization as being the most feared entity on the planet in polls, even those done by americans.
That somehow violence against US interests is a RELIGIOUS problem is far more worrying than that lots of people believe in the bible or think the world is only a few thousand years old. That belief has no political effect on anybody, but the belief that 'terrorists are evildoers who must be stamped out any way possible' is the notion of belief that is FAR more problematic in the world. That belief now has lots of americans being quite willing to start another major war with Iran for its doing something that it has every right to do-or at least doing little to try to stop it.
But the most telling propaganda wasn't just in the dismissal of Chomsky's, and lots of other people's, view. It was the name of the chapter section: "Far left unreason and the strange case of Noam Chomsky". I can safely state that Chomsky has ten times the brains of Sam Harris, perhaps that is why Sam quickly writes him off with the intentionality argument-which as mentioned on other threads is pretty ethically spurious to begin with. But that Chomsky simply doesn't subscribe to the moral intentions theory doesn't just mean he's 'wrong', it means he is 'unreasonable', and 'strange'. Again, this is because Chomsky states something that easily the majority of people believe to be the case.
The point of this criticism is to state that OTHER beliefs are far more dangerous than religious ones, and those are secular ones, in particular jingoistic patriotism. Sam puts as much faith in Bush as any fundamentalist puts in Jerry Falwell (at least as far as his 'intentions' are concerned). The idea that the US is morally superior (which he attests to in the chapter on Islam-again, with no evidence whatsoever) and only does some bad things on its road to righteousness is, unfortunately, a 'theory' that has far more dire consequences in the world. It is not religious 'moderates' who are the problem, it is POLITICAL moderates who are the problem. Those who look at each political stripping of human rights, each new war, each new trade dispute, each new clamping down on civilian rights and simply say 'well, thats the government, whaddya gonna do?" who are making the US the 'rogue nation' that virtually every country in the world considers it to be. That's what the germans did with each new step their government took.
That may make some here angry, thats fine, no doubt its the same affrontery that religious people feel when confronted with views like Sam's.

Highly recommend | (Posted on 4/21/15)
Review by Marina
My 3 year old son started having diarrhea after a farm visit. It went on for nearly a week. He doesn't like yogurt so I had no way of getting probiotics into his digestive system. He was going to the bathroom non-stop and complaining of stomach pain, but within a day or two of taking this probiotic he stopped going to the bathroom constantly and his stomach pain was gone. After about three to four days he was pooping completely normal again. Great product, works wonders, easy to chew.. He ASKS for it. Even his picky eater friends like it. Highly recommend for a children's probiotic.
Great!! | (Posted on 4/6/15)
Review by Christin
I have been giving this to my 3 little ones for 6 weeks. All are having regular bowel movements daily now, and my oldest is no longer having reflux issues
where is the guarantee? | (Posted on 11/25/14)
Review by tiecha
Unlike the Ultimate flora line, Buddy Bear does not come with a probiotic guarantee. looks like candy to me. DO your research! Look at the "other ingredients". Any substance you do not recognize simply google "MSDS" and then the CHEMICAL name listed in the "other ingredients"
My Kids LOVE THIS!!! | (Posted on 6/9/14)
Review by Jason
The Buddy Bear Probiotics are a hit in my household. My kids LOVE IT!!! At times I forget at the end of the night to give it but my kids are quick to remind to me that they need their bear (how they referred it as). My 4 year old has pancreatic insufficiency and is lactose intolerant so he has had stomach issues from the get go. My wife and I, as well as his doctors, have noticed an improvement in him since we have started him and Buddy Bear Probiotics along with Buddy Bear Digest. This is a wonderful product!!! Thank you Buddy Bear!
Great product | (Posted on 12/14/12)
Review by D nurse Louisiana
My kids ages 16,7,&3 all love the "bear".
The taste is great. They remind me when I forget to give it to them. I have recommended to friends, famliy and patients. I would like to see a larger size available.
This Works!! | (Posted on 10/9/12)
Review by momma of 2
My 7 and 3 year olds have been on this for a long time and it works great! Their bowls now move like clockwork each day and they also love the taste of the chewables.
My son loves these | (Posted on 8/25/12)
Review by momtoredheads
My son is 3 and has been taking these for about a year and a half. He has been very healthy and regular and has rarely gotten sick. He takes a "bear vitamin" every morning happily. Thanks so much!
Keeps BM's coming | (Posted on 5/15/12)
Review by smiling mom
Both my son 5 and daughter 2 fight constipation. Even with daily attempts at increasing the fiber we still could not control their BM. My doctor gave them prescription laxative and we were on a daily routine of miralax. Who wants to force their child everyday to drink that. It was terrible. My babies have been taking these for 3 months. They both love the flavor and they both stay very regular. I can attest to the fact that it is the buddy bear, because if I forget to give it to them for a few days, then they can't go #2. After getting the buddy bear back in the system for a few days, then we are good o go again.
Any plans to make a different flavor? | (Posted on 2/5/12)
Review by mouse
Do the makers of these have any plans to make a different flavor? I've been giving these to my kids for a while now, but the moans I get when they see them, they hate the taste! I've read other reviews on other sites where many parents say the same, their kids do not like these...this site seems to only post a few positive reviews.... I gave it 4 stars because of the flavor, I will continue to force my kids to take them, but it would be nice if they would come out with some other flavor options, strawberry? everybody loves strawberry! Maybe a gummy form of them, if that's possible.

Review by pudsmommy
I breastfed my daughter for 1 1/2 years and her digestive system started out perfect. After a cold that turned into an ear infecton and two rounds of antibiotics her tummy was wrecked and she was picking up every bug that came along (not to mention the hard bm's). I gave her regular chewable acidolpholus and yogurt with no results. Finally I found these buddy bears and every thing changed starting with her not getting sick for months at a time. The whole family takes Buddy Bears now! The adults are thinking of trying the adult formulas :)
INCREDIBLE RESULTS! | (Posted on 3/30/11)
Review by Ann, RI
My 5 1/2 yr old son was given an IEP (which is an individual educational plan-given when teachers do testing and feel a child most likely has a learning disabillity) in school (kindergarten) after being tested since preschool due to attention problems. I bought the buddy bear probiotic and have had him on this probiotic for the last 2 1/2 months. Recently one of my son's teachers approached my husband and told him that my son had been making a huge improvement in his school work and they now would have to see IF he can do the summer school program, as if he might not get in now. I was shocked because usually an IEP student automatically gets into the summer school program with no questions and the students who get extra help during the school year are next in line to be on a list to get into the summer program but my son is doing so well he might now even get in now. The only thing that's changed in our lifestyle in the last 3 months are the probiotics so now my son isn't labeled with ADD or ADHD and it's not a learning disability. My son also looks healthier, doesn't have black rings under his eyes and i even think he is sleeping better.
Really Works! | (Posted on 3/23/11)
Review by Thankful Mom
My two year old daughter has had tummy troubles since birth. As she has gotten older, the harder it has been for her to poop. It really hurts her and can take two days for the poop to come out. We have tried fiber suppliments and lots of fruits and fiber, but the problem was more than that. She would twist and contorte her whole body to have a bowel movement, and they sometimes would have blood in them. She was in pain!
She has been taking Buddy Bear for just over two weeks and it is working!! No more pain when pooping! The poop is coming out much easier and without her crying and wincing. Today she sat and pooped on the potty all on her own!! Buddy Bear seems to be helping her digestive system and really is helping her bowels! I am very thankful!
No More Blood with Poops | (Posted on 8/15/10)
Review by daphduck
I have a four year old son who started developing constipation at three and half. It got so severe that he was bleeding every time he had a BM. We saw a GI doctor who suggested Miralax to soften the stool and get the fissure to heal. We did that and there was still blood no matter how loose we got the stools. Then we did blood work to make sure there was no Celiac Disease, etc. Tests came back normal. So the next step was to have a Colonoscopy. We didn't really want to go there, so we started praying, Asking God to help us find the answer. My husband ended up doing a detox and had one of the books by the Renew Author. He called the main number to get more information on some of their products and ended up talking about our son. The lady suggested the probiotic and the digestive enzyme. This is the only thing that has worked. We are going on two weeks and no blood! His poops are soft and he says he feels better. Thank goodness for my husband's detox program. We would have been heading into surgery if it werent' for this product. It tastes great and my son loves it when he gets two!
Fantastic Product!

Review by jenni
My daughter was born with gurd. She was terriblely sick and had to be put on special formula so she wasn't in constant pain. I was told when she was old enough to eat solid food she'd be cured. She wasn't. She had constant earaches, stomach pain, colds, and exzema. When she was two I found this product in a health food store, and with in two weeks everything cleared up. I don't understand why it works but it does and I will keep buying this product!!!!!
tastes great | (Posted on 5/19/10)
Review by happymom
I give this to my toddler and he absolutely loves it. Ive tried to give him other forms of probiotics and the taste is offensive but these bears are actually very yummy. He actually thinks its candy and reminds me every morning to give him his "candy bear". He has been taking these for the last 8 months and he has a healthy immune system and doesnt get sick as often as others. Now if they only made multivitamins...
Keeps my grandbabies healthy | (Posted on 5/10/10)
Review by Grandma Barb
I buy this probiotic for my (4) grandbabies. They take it daily without a fuss (tastes good) and I know it helps keep their immune systems stronger. They don't get nearly as many colds and flus as their playmates.

If you follow this blog and somehow haven't become a Gleek yet, I can't understand why not.
The show, which stars Broadway favorites Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison, has already featured Broadway big-shots Victor Garber (Sweeney Todd, Assassins, Damn Yankees), Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked) and Debra Monk (Curtains, Chicago, Company) and showtunes like "Maybe This Time" from Cabaret and "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady.
Broadway Gleeks can continue to get more excited: Lea's Spring Awakening co-star, Jonathan Groff, has signed on to perform in at least 5 episodes of the show,
and rumor has it that Cheyenne Jackson, the star of Finian's Rainbow on Broadway, is scheduled to make a guest appearance in one of the upcoming episodes.
The show's tunes are hidden a little better than its stars, but thanks to YouTube, we do know that we'll be hearing Lea Michele and Chris Colfer singing "Defying Gravity" from Wicked. Check out a clip of the song:
Glee just keeps getting better and better for lovers of Broadway musical theater!

Don Kettl — dean of the school of Public Policy, University of Maryland.
Federal employees, especially at the management level, always have a unique interest in national election results. Yesterday it was the re-election of President Obama, plus a repeat of Democrats holding the Senate and Republicans holding the House. For insight on what you can expect, we turn to Don Kettl, dean of the school of Public Policy at the University of Maryland.

DoD Report
- Any defense contractor hoping to sell its company should make sure it settles up with the Defense Department. A four-year-long backlog of audits at the Defense Contract Audit Agency could hinder mergers and acquisitions. A local consultant, Mitchell Martin of the McLean Group, warned companies in a Washington Business Journal column. He wrote, once those audits are completed, companies could find they overcharged the Pentagon and had to return the money. In today's tight fiscal environment, he expected the Defense Department to go after every penny. That was not an attractive scenario for a would-be buyer. Martin said they were doing more thorough investigations on the companies they were considering acquiring. He recommended would-be sellers push the DCAA to complete its audit so it could close out its contracts.
Cybersecurity Update
- The General Services Administration is working overtime to get the first set of cloud-computing services approved. The Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program, or Fed-RAMP, has been up and running for five months. GSA's Kathy Conrad oversees Fed-RAMP. She says 50 companies and agency data centers applied for cybersecurity certification. Six are under active evaluation. Conrad expects three of them to receive approval by Dec. 31. GSA holds a Fed-RAMP webinar today to explain the review process to vendors.
- A Congressional panel is calling China the "most threatening" force in cyberspace. Bloomberg News got a draft copy of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's annual report to Congress. In it, the panel said China's persistence and its notable recent achievements posed growing challenges to computer users. In particular, it said, penetration of defense systems threaten the U.S. military's readiness and ability to operate. U.S. officials said Chinese hackers have tried to disrupt U.S. satellites, weapons and navigation systems.

Groovy DevCon #3 report
The third Groovy Developer Conference took place in Paris, in Sun's offices, on the 29th and the 30th of January 2007. This event was kindly sponsored by the Codehaus Foundation and the room booked by Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine.
Were present:
- Guillaume Laforge (Groovy Project Manager)
- Jochen Theodorou
- Dierk König (author of Groovy in Action)
- John Wilson
- Jeremy Rayner
- Graeme Rocher (Grails Project Lead)
- Guillaume Alléon
- Emmanuel Bernard (from JBoss)
During this meeting, we followed the agenda outlined there.
The meeting has been productive and the resulting decisions will be explained in the following sections.
Naming scheme
First of all, we have decided to keep the current naming / number scheme of betas and RCs. The number of betas and RCs hasn't been decided yet.
The next major milestone will be 1.1 (and not 2.0 as we might have supposed). We are aiming at releasing this 1.1 before the end of 2007, ideally in Q3. The next versions will thus be:
- 1.1-beta-1
- 1.1-beta-2
- 1.1-beta-3
- 1.1-rc-1
- 1.1-rc-2
- 1.1 (final release)
We might however provide some 1.x.y releases in case some critical bugs are found that can't wait for the next major milestones.
Branching scheme
So far, we haven't felt a strong need to create branches. We will continue to work on SVN trunk to add new features as well as for fixing bugs. This will not complicate our work for dealing with different branches.
"GEP": Groovy Extension Proposal
For further enhancements / additions / changes proposals, we should formalize them in the form of a dedicated document. Discussing such proposals is often tedious on mailing-lists because we often miss the "big picture" or the tricky details, and the discussion might finish in a dead end.
The proposal should provide some context of why such an enhancement is provided, explain the way it solves a certain problematic, code samples, corner cases, ideas for the implementation or even a prototype implementation as far as possible.
The details of such a template for proposals should be provided soon.
Sources and tests reorganization and distribution
We are going to reorganize the sources and tests to separate:
- Regression tests from 1.0 from new tests, or from TCK related tests
- Language-related classes, from library-related ones
This also means we should separate more cleanly:
- The core language classes
- The library classes
- The module content
Core languages classes are everything related to the core concepts of the language as well as the GDK. Library classes contain classes related to various APIs like JMX, Swing, and such. While module content usually require additional dependencies than the ones of the JDK and also usually follow their own release cycle.
Separating sources also means creating different artifact deliverables:
- groovy-core (incluging "jarjar-ed" ASM and Antlr)
- groovy-gdk
Having a small groovy-core library is particularly interesting for those wishing to integrate Groovy in their Java applications.
Regarding the tests, we should separate the 1.0 tests in a dedicated folder, while creating new folders for including "Groovy in Action" tests, new tests for 1.1 (with tests specific to Java 1.5 features), as well as tests for the TCK of JSR-241.
The ASL 2 license has to be applied and enforced everywhere -- instead of copying the old BSD license again and again.
Despite the great progresses made on improving, adding new content, and reorganizing the documentation, more care should be provided to the online documentation in the future. Newcomers should easily find their way through the website and should be able to get started quickly. Non-documented features should be identified and reported so that actions can be taken to improve those areas.
A particular care should also be provided to improve the JavaDoc of the core Groovy classes.
Build system
Our Maven 1 build system is very fragile and is too complicated to make it evolve properly. Having suffered various pains with it in the past that we don't want to enumerate here, and as we haven't got enough feedback from Maven 2 projects for complex builds like Groovy's, we decided to take the simplest possible path by choosing Ant as our new build system. We will progressively create the most simplistic build that can possibly exist to build the artifacts and pass the test cases, as well as providing reporting capabilities (test reports, coverage) for integration in our Continuous Integration process. Users will also be able to very easily build Groovy themselves with raw Ant without having to install anything like Maven or other build tool.
Other facilities such as creating the distributions can potentially be handled differently (Gant or other).
Status of JSR-241
The deliverables of JSR-241 consists of:
- GLS: the Groovy Language Specification (the specification and the formal grammar)
- RI: the Reference Implementation
- TCK: the Test Compatibility Kit
The RI has been released in the form of Groovy 1.0.
The formal grammar of the GLS has been generated out of the Antlr grammar.
The TCK need to be forked from our test suites, with many additional tests added.
The specification in itself will be generated automatically out of the commented test cases and test suites from the TCK.
Tooling support
The Abstract Syntax Tree will be improved to provide better support for tools, especially IDEs, and the "groovydoc" documentation tool. And all help possible should be provided to teams working on IDE plugins.
"groovydoc" should as a first step be able to generate the JavaDoc documentation from the Groovy classes, but should eventually be able to generate documentation for both Java and Groovy classes so that inter-links can be created. More thoughts and discussions might happen to see whether solutions could be found to document classes with dynamic behaviors, like Builders or MetaClasses.
The Groovy console and shell will be revamped to become even more user-friendly.
Syntax enhancements and new features
The grammar will be cleaned up slightly to remove some artifacts of ideas brushed during the past JSR meetings but which have never been implemented or have been rejected after discussions.
Annotation support
Groovy 1.1 will provide annotation support and will integrate seamlessly with Java 5's annotations.
Despite Groovy supporting this particular Java 5 feature, the rest of the project will always stay compatible with bytecode for 1.4 JVMs, except for classes annotated which will be compiled as bytecode for 1.5 JVMs.
Annotated classes will only be able to be compiled when the compiler is run on a JVM 1.5, while the rest of Groovy classes will always be able to compile and run both on 1.4 and 1.5 and beyond.
Specific test suites and probably DGM methods requiring a JVM 1.5 will be separated and will not prevent anyone from using Groovy on a JVM 1.4.
It is important that Groovy stays compatible with 1.4 as much as possible so that Groovy can still be used in corporate environment that have not made the switch yet to more recent versions of their JVMs.
Enum support
Enum will be supported, at least partially.
We may reserve ourselves the right to not provide all the extensibility provided by Java Enums (particularly the capability to define behavior on Enums).
Old for loop
While we usually avoid providing users with too many choices for implementing a given thing, we listened to newcomers wishing to be able to copy and paste some Java code containing "old for loops". Groovy 1.1 will add the ability to use classical for loops as provided by Java or C#.
The ExpandoMetaClass pioneered by the Grails project will be introduced in Groovy itself. By default, those MetaClasses should not be extensible by default as they can be dangerous in case of concurrent access and shared environments.
Additionally, a new convention will be introduced to define a script customizing various MetaClasses. For instance, a script in the magic package: groovy.runtime.metaclass.script can hold a script using ExpandoMetaClasses to enhance other classes.
Date / time / duration support
The experimental date / time / duration support of the GData module will be back in the core so as to provide a nice syntax for dealing with date and time handling. This will be based on the Java calendar class, as we don't want to add an additional dependency of the core on Joda-Time despite its great merits. But the day JSR-310 finds its way into the JDK, we might certainly upgrade our implementation to using this API, as the underlying implementation should be transparent to the users.
Named-parameters with bracket omissions
While it is possible to call methods without parentheses for top-level statements, it only works for methods with normal arguments, but not with methods taking named-arguments (map literal). To provide even more readability and expressivity, we decided to also allow to omit parentheses in that case, to help with the definition of Domain-Specific Languages.
Multiple assignments
We consider adding the possibility of doing multiple assignments. Methods returning lists could spread the elements of their list to multiple variables at a time. This mechanism may even be used later in more complex scenarios like retrieving groups from a regular expression.
This section contains some additional information on what has happened and been decided till the meeting.
Minimal generics support
Groovy will sports minimal generics support so that declarations like List<Employee> adds the relevant reflective bytecode information needed by frameworks like JPA.
Map and Closure coercion extension
Make map and closure coercion work also for classes and abstract classes, and not only for interfaces.
"Elvis" operator for default values

Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin
Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin Reviews
Hated it.Far too thick for my taste and it went on very cakey, regardless of how well I tried to blend. The biggest thing I hated about it was the lack of a pump, it made getting the product out an absolute pain. I probably wasted more product trying to get it out of the bottle, rather than putting it on my face. I didn't even finish half way through the bottle because I was not impressed with this foundation. — 4 years, 2 months agovolta | 562 reviews

Great foundation, average oil control, medium to heavy coverageProvides amazing coverage, and blends well when done right (with wet sponge or foundation brush). Can also doubles as concealer, but the oil control factor is only about average. This foundation does last all day, and does help with shine if used with powder. Color choice is rather limited, but there is "buffer room" between two similar shades for trial and error when not allowed to try it on in a drugstore. — 5 years, 1 month agotheycallmerainbow | 106 reviews

Great purchase!I am extremely satisfied with this foundation,have to say that I've bought it due to all the great reviews here on totalbeauty.com:) Holds up really good,and I have a problem with foundations that cca 5 hours after applying there is no foundation on my face.But this one never let me down.Although a girl has mentioned once that it looks/feels a bit heavy,maybe in the summer time,but in average temp...read moreeratures it really is a life saver! I'll have to try one for normal/dry skin because my skin has gone that direction in the past 6 months.All in all,I would recommend it almost to everyone! — 4 years, 2 months agoselma | 33 reviews

The man who revolutionized what great Philadelphia sports radio is all about and in the process turned PM drive-time talk radio on its head, Mike Missanelli has been nothing short of a broadcasting tour de force since joining 950 ESPN in April, 2008. Mike's sports acumen, witty pop-cultural references and overall fun persona are just a few of the many factors that draw listeners to the show and helped him ascend to #1. Listeners know that Mikey Miss is always there from 2:00 – 6:00 PM, whether it's landing the biggest interviews, bringing forth Sound Off or consistently taking the back of Philly sports fans against the national pundits who wail away at us.
For Mike the journey has been long and rewarding. A newspaper writer who started out on the high school beat in the area he moved up to the Philadelphia Inquirer and eventually made the transformation over to radio. Years on the air in the Philadelphia market provided the backdrop for what would become Mike's greatest challenge and ultimately his greatest professional accomplishment: carrying 950 ESPN on his back so effectively that the powers-that-be decided to put all their chips in with the radio station – culminating in the creation of the first FM sports station in Philadelphia radio history and signing Mike to a new multi-year deal to ensure that he leads the way for years to come at 97.5 The Fanatic.

Loaner Laptop Policies
Technology Operations maintains a pool of laptops designated as "loaners." These laptops range from current year models to those that are a few years old (each year more laptops are added to the pool and the oldest, non desirable machines are removed). Primarily intended for Graduate student use, these loaners are available to any KSB faculty or staff member in their pursuit of academic or administrative endeavors, within reason. If a faculty or staff member requires a laptop for an extended period of time (such as an entire semester) then he/she should attempt to purchase their own unit (either personal or departmental) rather than to utilize one intended for student use.
These machines are available to any KSB graduate student, for a period of up to one week, while their machine is being serviced. In some cases, extenuating circumstances may justify a one week extension (for a total of two weeks) to be determined by Technology Operations' management. Further, no graduate student will be permitted to check-out a loaner for more than three weeks in any given semester.
If a loaner is not returned to Technology Operations within 3 business days of its due date, late fees may be assessed and charged to the student's Bursar bill at a rate of $25 per day. If a loaner is not returned to Technology Operations within 30 days of its due date, the student will be charged for the replacement value of all equipment checked out in their name. In addition, Technology Operations & Services reserves the right to bill a student's Bursar account or a faculty/staff member's departmental account for any/all damages or loss.
Conditions & Restrictions on Loaned Equipment
At the time of checkout, a Technology Operations staff member and the customer will jointly inspect the equipment being checked out (and subsequently checked in). Both the Technology Operations employee and the customer will sign the check-out/check-in form indicating the specific items in question, as well as the condition of said items. All customers checking out Technology Operations equipment assume responsibility for the safe return and well being of all equipment.
NOTE: Technology Operations insists that all equipment that is checked-out is present upon check-in. Technology Operations cannot accept partial or incomplete returns of loaner equipment, as this leads to lost items as well as a hindrance in lending the equipment to the next customer. Accordingly, all laptops checked in and out must be done as complete packages (i.e. laptop, power supply, battery and carrying case) so as to avoid inventory mix-ups or misplacements. Further, it is possible that our refusal to accept partial equipment may lead to the billing of a student who becomes more than 3 days late to return the complete inventory.

By Jen Heger – Radar Assistant Managing Editor
Thaer Kamal, the Hookah Lounge manager that alleges Lindsay Lohan hit him and his vehicle, met with two LAPD detectives Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location for more than an hour, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As previously reported Lohan, 25, was driving away from the Sayers Club in Hollywood almost two weeks ago in her new black Porsche when she says she was blocked by a horde of paparazzi and club patrons from the nearby Hookah Lounge. As Lindsay was trying to make a U-turn among the crowd at the late night hotspot, she allegedly hit Kamal and his car and then sped off.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Attends Jay-Z Concert Night Before Court
Kamal was interviewed by investigators from the LAPD for more than an hour, and his attorney, Mark Geragos, was present.
"Thaer gave an honest and accurate account of what happened to him that night," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "He wants Lindsay to be held accountable for her actions. She shouldn't have driven away after hitting him, period. He doesn't want her to get away with it. Thaer feels that Lindsay's camp has bullied him by making up stories that he was being investigated for insurance fraud. He was steadfast in his conviction that he has never committed any crime, and hasn't been investigated ever for fraud. Thaer is fearful for his family back in Iraq, he has done nothing wrong, he didn't break any laws. He served with the United States Army for six years and seven months, and has a spotless record. He obeys all laws, and he wonders why Lindsay doesn't."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Arrives At Court With Mom Dina
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, media reports circulated last week that Kamal was being investigated for insurance fraud in eight different cases for staging fake car accidents and filing bogus claims.
"Let's be very clear about this, Thaer Kamal has never been investigated for insurance fraud, fraud, staging car accidents or anything even remotely related to any illegal criminal behavior," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. "Thaer doesn't have a criminal record, has never been arrested and this is the first time he has ever filed a claim with his insurance company. Thaer is disgusted that these false reports have been made."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's Mug Shot Hall Of Fame
Kamal's attorney is looking into who has been slandering their client. "Mark will be investigating who made those false statements about Thaer being the focus of insurance fraud investigations and will take the appropriate legal action against those responsible for the false and defamatory comments if necessary," the insider said.
Geragos turned over the surveillance video that captured the alleged hit and run, as well as Thaer's medical records. "The detectives were very receptive and interested in Kamal's statement. It was done professionally, and away from prying eyes so that Thaer can try and maintain some sort of privacy because of security concerns for his family in Iraq," the source says.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Is A Redhead Again
Lindsay is scheduled to appear for her final progress report Thursday in connection with her necklace theft case. Despite media reports that Lindsay is in the clear from this incident, our law enforcement source says, "that isn't accurate because this is still an ongoing criminal investigation. It's a fluid situation and the detectives will be conducting further interviews with eyewitnesses."
UPDATE: "Lindsay will be appearing in an episode of Glee," Lindsay's rep, Steve Honig said in a statement but would offer no further details about when the episode would be airing.
