RICHLANDS — This wasn't the 43-point effort Tyree Best had last week against Dixon, but it was strong enough to carry the Richlands boys' basketball team to its second win over the Bulldogs.
Best scored 29 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the Wildcats to a 68-40 nonconference victory over the Bulldogs on Thursday night.
Earlier, the Richlands girls' defeated Dixon 35-32.
Best, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound senior, had scored 43 points and snared 17 boards in Richlands' 68-55 win over Dixon last week in both team's season opener.
"I feel like I got the hot hand," Best said. "My teammates are finding me and I am putting it in the goal."
In the latest win over the Bulldogs (0-3), Best was 12 of 16 from the field and 5 of 8 from the free throw line. He set the tone with 11 first-quarter points, including scoring six of the first seven points for the Wildcats (2-0).
"He plays so hard and gets in good position," Richlands first-year coach Glenn Kellum said. "He's left-handed and a lot of people aren't used to a left-handed person. He works real good on the blocks and uses his body and he's got a great drop step. He's got several moves around the bucket and he's just so hard to guard because he works so hard and his teammates work so hard to get him the ball."
Best's early game success was an indication the Wildcats wanted to feed their big man inside with the ball. He was able to position himself in the paint to get easy looks and he also scored on some putbacks.
"I just did what my coach told me to do," Best said. "I put my left foot on the goal side and went to work."
And that meant bad news for the Bulldogs.
"We ran into the same thing. Their big guys down low, especially Best," said Dixon assistant coach Brian Brockley, who lead the Bulldogs after head coach Philip Durr was ejected just 1:03 into the game after he received two technical fouls in a span on a few seconds. "We had no answer for him once again."
Best was complemented by Kadarius McQueen, who added 17 points and 11 rebounds. He had 10 points in the second half.
"We knew they (Bulldogs) would front Tyree," Kellum said. "So we had to get to the other block."
Despite the solid play from Best and McQueen, however, Richlands found itself in a competitive contest in the first half, thanks to Dixon's rebounding ability. The Bulldogs stayed close by scoring a lot on putbacks.
Daniel Page recorded 14 points and 12 rebounds and Trent Marshburn added 10 points and 8 rebounds for Dixon, which also got good inside play from Matthew Elmore.
"Our guys were trying to block shots instead of putting a hand in their face and boxing out," Kellum said. "They were taking themselves out of position to get the rebound. We did a lot better job in the second half."
The Wildcats limited Dixon to just 17 percent shooting in the second half while Richlands shot 50 percent after halftime to pull away.
"I think it was a combination of us running out of gas and the fact we got into foul trouble a little bit before halftime," Brockley said.
Richlands 35, Dixon 32: Caliyah Toudle scored 17 points and Tamaiya Thompson added 12 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Wildcats to their second win over the Bulldogs.
Richlands defeated Dixon 25-15 last week.
"Last week we made 10 of our 76 shots and 50 of those were inside the paint," Richlands coach Mike Kelly said. "Tonight our shooting percentage was better. We took more time on our shots. We were able to get to the pain and finish."
Carley Rochelle and Miranda Davis each scored 10 points for the Bulldogs.
"We didn't execute our offense last week, but tonight we did," Dixon coach Christel Caliguire said. "We just had a couple of turnovers tonight (after playing good defense to force some)."

I'd Turn Back If I Were You--
Canoeing Africa's Lower Zambezi
By Marie Javins, GoNOMAD TRANSPORTS GUIDE
If you go out in the woods today
"There are four things to watch out for on the Zambezi," said Bono, the chief river guide on my four-day Shearwater canoe/camping safari. "One: crocs. Don't stick your hands or feet in the water. Two: hippos. They have four-inch teeth. Let them know you're here like this." He tapped his paddle loudly on the canoe.
"Three: visible tree stumps. Avoid them. Four: tree stumps below the surface. You can identify them by the way the water flows on the surface. Okay?"
Uh, sure. Tree stumps didn't worry me. As a single traveler, I was partnered with Bono. Crocs didn't worry me either -- I had no plans to drape my limbs into the water.
But hippos, some of the very animals I'd come to see, worried me. The most dangerous animals in Africa are vegetarian, but they'll still bite you in half if you're between them and their calves or the safety of deep water.
After a brief stop for pink lunchmeat and cucumber sandwiches, I weakly rowed on to a flat, sandy area surrounded by African scrub, our campsite for the night. We were on a small island next to
Bono issued some more instructions.
"After dark," he said, "don't go anywhere near the riverbank. That's where the crocodiles hunt. And at night, if you need a toilet, don't go more than ten meters from your tent."
This was a bit alarming, as I'd just been considering sneaking down to the shore to wash. Fortunately, the "bucket behind a tree" method was available.
Asleep by Nine
In the morning, the wind was with us. Rowing was easier and I no longer had to struggle.
About a half-hour after pushing off, we encountered a huge pod of hippos that stretched from
To intimidate us, the hippos emitted ominous roars that sounded like the disembodied Jolly Green Giant.
"Ho ho ho," said the hippos.
"I'd turn back if I were you. That's what they're saying," I thought.
Bono slowly paddled us into the middle of the pod. He kept tapping his oar to let the hippos know we were coming.
"Stay close," he said to the rest of the group.
A Massive Expulsion
I was wondering if Bono was lying to me about a legendary hippo that could bite a canoe in half when he started issuing instructions.
"Follow me," he barked. He's been aiming right for a hippo and now suddenly cut directly across the river.
"Paddle left," he told me. I paddled furiously on the left. Sweat and effort didn't bother me anymore. If we didn't make it in time, I'd be the first one bitten by the unhappy hippo.
We made it in spite of my feeble contribution. Bono knew what he was doing and we were never really in danger, but it sure felt like we were.
Face to Face With Nature
Enthusiastically, I quite pretending my paddling mattered and took as many photos as I did strokes. We were ahead of schedule, and Bono instructed us to slow down.
Slow down we did, observing more hippos, some evil-looking crocs, elephants, egrets, and Carmine Bee-eater birds that lived in holes along the muddy riverbank.
Late on the third morning, we paddled to the bank to indulge in more pink lunchmeat and cucumber treats. Everyone else wandered off and left me sitting on a sleepmat, scribbling in my diary.
Then, they all came scampering back, wide-eyed and agitated.
Bono had the warning pistol in his hand, and Cambell had the two-way radio. It was on.
"If an elephant charges," instructed Bono. "Stand still."
Was he mad? But there was no time to argue.
The elephants approached. It was hot out, and they were headed straight towards our canoes at the river's edge for drinks and showers.
The elephants inadvertently herded us.
"Everyone over here," said Bono, motioned us further on, out of the elephant's path.
The elephants stared at us while we quaked. They seemed to decide we were not worth their time. They trundled on, to drink and splash about while we cowered and snapped once-in-a-lifetime photos.
Finally, the elephants left. High on adrenalin, we reclaimed our canoes.
But it wasn't over. Five more elephants approached, shaking the berries off acacia trees as they walked. This time they approached directly, driving us up onto the bank. We were cornered, our only potential escape a leap into the croc-infested river. But the elephants didn't care about us. They only had eyes for the cooling effects of water, squirted onto their backs by their swaying trunks.
The Elephants' Delicate Step
Finally, they left the water's edge and moved away, intent on tormenting more acacia trees.
Buffalo wandered up next, along with waterbuck.
"Still want to go on that game walk?" joked Bono. We'd been pestering him for a game walk, but he'd been refusing because walking in the national park was strictly controlled.
Nobody wanted to go. Why go for a game walk when the game will come to you?
We paddled another seven kilometers, and set up camp on a sandy island.
The stars were out in force, and the Milky Way was clear. Elephants splashed nearby, hippos had a vocal social gathering, ducks quacked, and lions on the mainland roared all night. No one got any sleep and when there was enough light to spot crocodiles, we all got up.
The Friendly Hippo Pod
The whoosh and subsequent laughter was just our friendly neighborhood hippo pod, letting us know that no matter how many times Bono tapped his warning on the canoe, we could still be surprised.
It was just a short trip to our takeout point at Mana Pools. A Shearwater truck was waiting for us, complete with a cooler full of cold drinks. A two-hour safari-style drive through UNESCO World Heritage Mana Pools National Park took us to paved road.

The Cincinnati Zoo's short-lived partnership with the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum came to a halt just a couple days after it started. Joint tickets, packages to events at both institutions and so on.
Then someone raised a flag, and the shit storm commenced.
On November 30, 2008, biologist and blogger P. Z. Myers complained about the promotion at his blog Pharyngula, writing, "the Cincinnati Zoo has betrayed its mission and its trust in a disgraceful way, by aligning themselves with a creationist institution that is a laughing stock to the rest of the world, and a mark of shame to the United States," and urging his readers to write to the zoo to "point out the conflict between what they are doing and what their goal as an educational and research institution ought to be." Other bloggers echoed his call, and the zoo was evidently flooded with calls and e-mails, prompting it to cancel the promotion because of the uproar. No refunds will be necessary, since no packages of tickets had been sold.
Good for Dr. Myers. Good for those of you who called or wrote the zoo.

Effective 1 January different eligibility criteria will apply to the 30% tax ruling. This is favourable for foreign employees who are pursuing a PhD in the Netherlands. For all other academics, however, the change is unfavourable.
Dutch immigration law has several options for well educated migrants. One option is the 'Admission scheme for highly educated persons'. Under this scheme, highly educated foreign nationals are allowed to spend a period of up to twelve months in the Netherlands to find a job as a highly skilled migrant, or to start an innovative company. If you want to use this opportunity, make sure you apply for it within three years after your graduation or finishing your PhD.
You need money to do research. That is stating the obvious. The question is: where can you get it? A good source of money may be the European Commission (EC). In the seven-year period between 2007 to 2013 the EC is spending a good 50 billion euros on the stimulation of research and development. This is the budget for the 7th Framework Programme (FP7). Marie-Curie fellowships and ERC grants are one of the instruments within FP7 and may be just what you are looking for.
Yes, there is another survey about improving research conditions. Perhaps you are tired of yet another survey, but input from you, Europe's researchers, remains important. The European Union has set up an ambitious programme to create a European Research Area, resulting in a genuine single market for knowledge, research and innovation. Input from the field is very valuable, every step of the way.
The EURAXESS team at the European Commission has launched a ten-minute online survey to collect users' opinions on usability and user friendliness of the improved EURAXESS Job Portal. There are two questionnaires, one researchers and one for research institutions.
Under a special scheme, anyone who has obtained a master's or a PhD at a Dutch higher-education institution and goes home is allowed to rethink his/her steps, and then return to the Netherlands to look for a suitable job, i.e. a well-paid position that requires an academic background. And not just that: this rule also applies to PhD graduates from any of the top 150 universities in the Times or Shanghai rankings.

Q&A Open Forum
Tim Staples is Director of Apologetics and Evangelization here at Catholic Answers, but he was not always Catholic. Tim was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps.
During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various Assemblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an Assembly of God community. During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up: the Catholic Church!
He converted to Catholicism in 1988 and spent the following six years in formation for the priesthood, earning a degree in philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pennsylvania. He then studied theology on a graduate level at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, for two years. Realizing that his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary in 1994 and has been working in Catholic apologetics and evangelization ever since.
If you are interested in booking Tim Staples for an upcoming event, please contact Catholic Answers at (619) 387-7200.
Fundamentalists and Evangelicals see Mary as little more than a receptacle for bringing Christ into the world. Catholic Answers' Director of Apologetics Tim Staples strongly disagrees. As he points out, Mary's role is unique in all of salvation history—in fact, the most important role ever given to a human being.

Throughout the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, the Museum of the Confederacy-Richmond will be hosting a monthly series of talks devoted to a topic or event's 150th anniversary. These talks, normally scheduled for the third Friday of the month, are free for members and Richmond area residents, and are included with Museum admission for all others.
With the end of the winter of 1862-63, Robert E. Lee realized that he could not feed the Army of Northern Virginia from the region around Fredericksburg. He dispatched Gen. James Longstreet, with his whole First Corps, to the vicinity of Suffolk, Virginia, to gather foodstuff from southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Longstreet began a long and unsuccessful siege of Suffolk before retiring. The good news: he came back with plenty of food. The bad news: his return was not in time to participate in the Battle of Chancellorsville.

A Brief History of the Library
Library Service in Waukegan, 1845 Through Today
The Waukegan Public Library has a long history of distinguished service in Waukegan. The library as we know it today was preceded by several operating systems, the first being the Little Fort Reading Room and Library Association founded on November 24, 1845. Each member paid twenty-five cents per quarter support fee. Along with this fee, members were able to place a book into the library for others to check out. Over one hundred and fifty books were collected and housed in the Court House. Unfortunately, twelve years later, the library was destroyed when the Courthouse burned down on October 27, 1857.
The Young Men's Association Library came into being on November, 24 1866. It was open to any resident of Lake County, with initiation charges ranging from two to three dollars. Lack of funds forced this library to close. It wasn't until a group of women organized the Sesame Club in 1894 that a library was fully operational and established. These women were looking to bring to fruition a free library. People laughed at the idea of Waukegan maintaining a free library, but the Sesame Club members responded, "It must and will come." Citizens, club and board members donated books to the Library Association, and the library was open on Thursday and Saturday of every week from November 1895 to 1896.
The Club then took steps to convince city officials to provide support for the library through a tax-supported system. In June of 1898, the city accepted the library and its effects as a gift from the Library Association and on November 1, 1898, a tax-supported Waukegan Public Library became a reality.
In 1899, Mr. Oliver Lincoln willed property on Washington Street at Sheridan Road to the city to be used as a park. In 1901, the Lincoln heirs provided a conveyance granting the city the right to erect "upon said remised a library building or buildings." A Board member of the then-existing Library Association appealed to Mr. Andrew Carnegie for funds. Mr. Carnegie responded with $25,000.00 "if the city of Waukegan would furnish a suitable site and through Council agree to $2,500.00 a year support of said library." The proposal was accepted and a stone building of Ionian Greek style architecture was constructed. This building served the community as a library for sixty-two years.
During a period in the 1930's the library opened and operated three branches—one located at McAlister and May Streets in the Lyons Building; another at Washington and Elmwood Avenue in the Hutchison Building; and a third at Grand and Yeoman Street in the Yeoman Building.
The old Carnegie building was viewed with affection by the citizens of Waukegan until after the Second World War when it became evident that crowded conditions were limiting the expansion of library services required by a rapidly growing city. The first bookmobile was then put into operation in April of 1956; a second bookmobile was added to the extension system in June of 1962.
The League of Women Voters was responsible for the formation of a Friends of the Waukegan Public Library organization on January 29, 1963. The $1,125,000.00 bond issue for a new library building was passed on April 27, 1963. Major credit for the passage of the bond issue went to the League and the Friends of the Waukegan Public Library.
Waukegan's current library building is located at County and Clayton Streets and is part of a governmental complex including both municipal and county buildings. It was designed by William Ganster of the Waukegan architecture firm of Ganster and Henninghausen. The library opened for service on December 27, 1965 and was dedicated on April 19, 1966.
A major renovation project was completed in 1998 which added 16,000 square feet of public space without moving or adding on to the current building. The lower level was refinished to house the children's department, two new story/craft rooms, an audio/visual browsing room, a Friends of the library used book sale room, and the Ray Bradbury Meeting Room.
In 2005 the library evaluated the needs of its patrons in the western part of the city. A decision was made to build a branch to accommodate those patrons in the western areas of Waukegan and make it convenient for them to utilize library services. In 2006 the 203 square foot Hinkston Park Branch opened, located in the Hinkston Park Field House at 800 North Baldwin Avenue, Waukegan. Total construction costs to open this branch were $90,000; $33,000 of that amount was fundraised.
Two years later the library repurposed 2,200 square feet in the Children's Department to build an Early Learning Center. The concept for the center sprang from a 2006 United Way survey that showed only 43% of Waukegan kindergartners ever attended preschool, and 77% speak Spanish as their primary language. Over half the kids surveyed had little or no exposure to books before entering public school. The Early Learning Center is a cutting-edge facility featuring interactive, bilingual displays and programs geared towards children ages 0-7 and their families. It focuses on the development of pre-literacy and literacy skills so all children in Waukegan will be better prepared to become successful students. Total cost of the project: $310,000. Dollars fundraised for the project: $225,525.
Portions of the lower level were renovated again in 2009 to create the Literacy Suite, a 3,200 square-foot space which offers free one-on-one tutoring for adults who wish to improve basic reading or writing skills, plus free group classes, including Adult Basic Education, Family Literacy, and computer classes in Spanish and English. Total cost of the Literacy Suite $67,000; total dollars fundraised for project: $67,000. The Friends of the Waukegan Public Library and the Friends' Used Book Sale space were moved to the main level of the library at this time.
The upper level of the Library houses administration, extension services and the technical processing of materials.

Customer Raves & Reviews
nice quality
Don't forget to check for promotional coupon codes before you place your order! I saved 10% just by searching for and finding a coupon code online! It would be nice to be able to re-size and reposition the text boxes in the 'editor'. I know that I could have made a special request to re-size the text box, but we were in a rush and in the end settled for a different design that could accommodate all of our our text without having to make a special design request. Had the design software been more flexible I would have gone with a different design. I am very impressed with the quality of the paper, printing and envelope! I would highly recommend this site to anyone!
I was more than impressed with the customer service and quality of this wedding brochure I ordered. They came out BEAUTIFUL! I would recommend this website to anyone, esp. someone planning a wedding!
Cute Fan, Menu cards and Table Cards
This experience was amazing!! I went online, picked and designed all my products that I liked, and in days it was all shipped to me....I was so happy when I saw UPS at my office!! I would recommend Magnetstreet to anyone! Thank-You Staff!
Beautiful Design
My fiance and I are absolutely thrilled with the finished product of our wedding invites. We are simple in style and just wanted something elegant but simple to reflect our taste. This invite was just that: no muss, no fuss, to the point and pleasing to the eye. We are thrilled with our customization and the customer service at Magnet Street has been nothing short of excellent! Bravo! Will recommend to all I know!
Wonderful Invitations
My experience with using MagnetStreet for my wedding invitations was seamless. I was able to customize every detail I wanted on them and they turned out beautiful. The process for designing it was very easy, every change that I made to it was added instantly, and if the text on the document didn't fit it told me that it needed changing. I had already had an idea of the colors I wanted in my invitations so it was easy for me to pick them. I was also very happy to be able to change the colors to what I wanted specifically, even if they didn't have it on their pre-chosen color list. I am very happy with the quality of the product itself, each item is on sturdy linen finished card stock paper, where everything just pops of the paper. The printing quality is phenomenal, identical to what I had designed on the site before I ordered. I used standard shipping and received it in a week and a half, very timely and came earlier than I expected. I have not sent them out yet, but I am sure everyone will love them.

Climate and the coal trains
It's comically tragic or tragically comic.
Consumers learned that tobacco was unhealthy, and domestic demand plummeted. For the past decade, the nation's appetite for coal has dipped thanks to renewable energy, conservation and cleaner natural gas. Whither industry? No, no. Simply take what you have and market it overseas.
The separated-at-birth comparison ends there -- energy is a necessity. National policy demands coherence, and President Barack Obama gave it a stab with his Tuesday speech addressing climate change.
"We don't have time for a meeting of the flat-earth society," Obama said. "Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but it won't protect you from the coming storm." It's a fitting capsule on the debate to export PRB coal from terminals at Cherry Point near Bellingham and the Millennium Bulk facility at Longview. Supporters have their heads in the sand for not weighing the long-term health and climate fallout. Opponents are similarly naïve if they don't address the demand for increased rail capacity, coal or no.
As The Herald's Bill Sheets reports, the number of coal trains headed to British Columbia will continue to rise, although nowhere on the scale of the Gateway/Cherry Point proposal. Gateway spells 18 round trips per day, with an annual export volume of 48 million metric tons. It's best not to picture the nearly 1,000 mega-cargo ships that will ferry the coal to Asia, or to imagine, "What if?"
On June 17, the Army Corps of Engineers announced that its environmental review would be limited. Social impacts, global warming, and coal dust are too wide-angle for a statutorily limited bureaucracy (Opponents should look on the Corps' decision as a blessing. Most engineers aren't exactly skilled at measuring social data.)
Obama's climate-change speech threw light on an executive style that asks the larger questions. Regarding the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, the president underlined the need for no net increase in climate-change gases. "Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires finding that doing so is in our national interest," Obama said.
And so we have our index: Are Northwest coal-export facilities in the public interest? Tally up the costs, and the answer is no.

A VERY small Beatrix Potter drawing has sold for nearly £50,000 at an auction in America.
The three-and-three-quarter inches by six inches ink and watercolour had been expected to sell for up to 37,500 at the Sotheby's auction, in New York, but reached £47,438
The miniature, called 'Guinea pigs going to their garden...' was among 193 original illustrations sold by wealthy American couple, Kendra and Allan Daniel. The painting depicts four guinea pigs following a fifth along a path carrying garden tools.
A spokesman for Sotheby's said: "Early in 1893, when she was in her twenties, Beatrix Potter borrowed a number of guinea pigs from her friend, Miss Paget. One, named Mr Chopps, proved to be no problem but another, named Queen Elizabeth, apparently 'took to eating blotting paper, pasteboard, string and other curious substances and expired during the night. A pair of gardening illustrations date from this time: four guinea pigs following a blue-coated guinea pig and four guinea pigs working under the guidance of the blue-coated guinea pig.
"These were later redrawn in 1922 and used in Potter's book Cecil Parsley's Nursery Rhymes."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

How to Upgrade
This guide describes how to upgrade from one version of Sonar to a later version.
- Check compatibility of installed plugins
- If Sonar is not connected to the Internet, check for minimum required versions listed in this page.
- If Sonar is connected to the Internet, the Update Center lists all the plugins to upgrade or to uninstall:
- Read notes below for each version
Stop Sonar:
- Download and unzip Sonar in a fresh directory, let's say {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}
- Update the content of the sonar.properties and wrapper.conf files located in the {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}/conf directory according of the content of the related files in the {$OLD_SONAR_HOME}/conf directory
- Copy the directories extensions/plugins and extensions/rules from {$OLD_SONAR_HOME} to {$NEW_SONAR_HOME} (if you see problems while starting, try to remove the copied plugins from the extensions/plugins-directory and reinstall the plugins manually via the webinterface)
- If a custom JDBC driver is used, copy it into {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}/extensions/jdbc-driver/<dialect>
- Doing a database backup is recommended
- If Sonar is deployed on a JEE server, build the WAR file by executing the script {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}/war/build-war
Start server (or deploy war into JEE server):
- Browse to http://localhost:9000/setup (replace "localhost:9000" by your own URL) and follow the setup instructions
- Analyze your projects to get fresh measures
Release Upgrade Notes
Usually Sonar releases come with some specific recommendations for upgrading from the previous version. You have to read the upgrade notes for all versions between your current version and the target version.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To screen for and monitor chronic exposure to lead in adults; to detect iron deficiency in children
When to Get Tested?
When you have been chronically exposed to lead, as part of a program to monitor lead exposure, and/or when your healthcare provider suspects lead poisoning; as part of a screening program for iron deficiency in children and adolescents
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or from a fingerstick
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) is normally present in red blood cells in small amounts, but the level may increase in people with lead poisoning and iron deficiency. This test measures the level of ZPP in the blood.
To understand how lead poisoning and iron deficiency affect the ZPP level, it is first necessary to know about heme. Heme is an essential component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and cells.
The formation of heme occurs in a series of steps that conclude with the insertion of an iron atom into the center of a molecule called protoporphyrin. When there is not enough iron available, as in iron deficiency, or when the insertion of iron is inhibited, as in lead poisoning, then protoporphyrin combines with zinc instead of iron to form zinc protoporphyrin. ZPP serves no useful purpose in red blood cells since it cannot bind to oxygen.
ZPP may be measured in one of two ways:
- The free erythrocyte protoporphyrin (FEP) test measures both ZPP, which accounts for 90% of protoporphyrin in red blood cells, and free protoporphyrin, which is not bound to zinc.
- The ZPP/heme ratio gives the proportion of ZPP compared to the normal iron-containing heme in red blood cells.
How is the sample collected for testing?
To measure FEP, a blood sample is taken by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. To determine the ZPP/heme ratio, a drop of blood from a fingerstick is placed in an instrument called a hematofluorometer. This instrument measures the fluorescence of ZPP and reports the amount of ZPP per number of heme molecules. Since only a single drop of blood is required, this test is well suited for screening children.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

I remember the first time I saw these amazing shoes via Balenciaga all the way back in 2011. It was love at first sight. Anyone who was anyone, from Nicole Richie to Cara Delevingne to Lindsay Lohan, owned a pair and of course were snapped wearing them everywhere they went.
Now, it seems that cut out booties complete with metal adornments have finally hit the high street, with various brands releasing more affordable versions of the original coveted pair, so now everyone can own them!
So, go ahead: Nab yourself a new pair of toasty yet trend-friendly kicks that combine a biker edge with total and utter radness. Take that, Old Man Winter.

In 1948, a young doctor named Danielle Roches was treating war casualties in the hospitals of Paris using a special anti-bacteria cream made of plants extracts. Dr Roches noted that the product not only promoted healing of wounds, but also had a dramatic secondary benefit: significant and measurable eyelash and eyebrow growth.
From this discovery, the company was born, concentrating on eyelash and eyebrow appearance and growth. Throughout the years, millions of women, including famous movie stars and top models, have sought out the benefits of TALIKA Lipocils and have remained loyal TALIKA consumers.
Over the years, TALIKA has developed exciting new products that answer the specific beauty needs of today's woman. They have concentrated on three critical and very noticeable areas: eyes, face and nails. With the promise of introducing products that are natural and offer visible results, TALIKA's success has been consistent throughout the world.

Eddie Jones has likened the ELVs to T20 cricket, stating the new rules are a ploy by Australian rugby to cheapen the game.
Jones had earlier remarked that the laws had been "picked out of a cornflakes packet," and yesterday speaking at the launch of the English Premiership, he further slammed the ELVs.
"The important thing is to improve rugby. To judge the ELVs you have to ask 'have they made the game better?'. Better does not necessarily mean more entertaining. If you want entertainment, you watch Twenty20 cricket. We don't want rugby to be Twenty20 cricket.
"That has to be the judgment line. These changes have been made with a view to entertainment, not to improving rugby," said the director of rugby at Saracens.
Jones noted that Australia, who were the fore-runners for proposing the laws, had different intentions than other countries.
"The pressure on rugby in Australia is to win fans. They're competing directly against Aussie rules, rugby league and football. All three are simple motion games where the ball is always in play. To compete the Super 14 has become a quick-tap motion game. The ball is in play a lot but that doesn't create a better game, it creates entertainment – to the detriment of rugby," he said.
He intimated that different versions of rugby could be the way to go in future to suit different audiences.
"Now there's Test match cricket and Twenty20 cricket but we need to keep Test match rugby. Around the world most people want to watch Test rugby. There are pockets around the world who want to see Twenty20 cricket so let's make Twenty12 rugby.
"We could have 12 players, 20 minutes each way with no scrums or line-outs. As the game becomes more professional another form of the game could develop. Sevens hasn't been a success as entertainment. It might do well in Hong Kong and Wellington, but not around the world. You might find another form of the game springs up eventually," he said.
Jones cited the standard of the World Cup last year – which was played under the old rules – and how popular this made the game.
"Just have a look at what the World Cup has done in Europe. Rugby in France is so big now – they had four club games with 80,000 crowds last season. Rugby in France is going through the roof because the World Cup was so successful," he said.
"Watch Bath against Wasps in January – it was one of the best games I've ever seen. There were unbelievable skills levels on show. It had everything. If a game is played well and refereed well then there is nothing wrong with it. If you play the game well then it becomes a spectacle.
"If you try to make it a spectacle first and foremost, then you get a simplistic version."

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Pfeiffer University competed in double dual meet hosted by Converse College with Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday afternoon. Freshman Charlie Melesh broke the school record for fastest time in the 1,000 yard freestyle as the Falcons claimed a 165-83 win over the Bears. The Lady Falcons split their meets on the day taking a 130-105 victory over the Lady Bears while falling to the host Valkyries 182-63.
The men's afternoon started with a 200 yard medley relay win with Matt Money, Jim Roddenbery, Zach McMichael and George Moreno. Those four finished 1.06 seconds in front of teammates Mark Franz, Ian Chamberlain, Andrew Corley and Edwin Torres.
Event four is when Melesh set the new mark in the 1,000 free with a time of 9:59.46 eclipsing the old time set by Torres two years ago with a time of 9:59.87. Franz and McMichael would take the top two spots in the men's 200 free while Money and Torres took top spots in the 100 backstroke and 100 breaststroke.
Roddenbery and Corley jumped on the finishing in the top spot parade with individual victories in the 200 fly and 50 free. Corley and Melesh wrapped up individual wins in the 200 back and 100 fly before the Falcons took the top two spots in the final relay, the 200 free.
On the Lady Falcons side, solid top-five finishes led to the 25 point win over Lenoir-Rhyne. Although the Lady Falcons didn't win an event, those top finishes, led by Yukina Onoda's pair of second place finishes in the 100 and 200 back stroke. Morgan Dionne and Samantha Maness soaked up several of those top five spots as well.
Both sides are back in action on Saturday and Sunday swimming in Wingate's Fall Frenzy. The two day event will be held at Charlotte's Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center (MCAC) starting at 9 a.m.

Turmoil In African Nation Of Mali Continues
By editor
Originally published on Mon July 9, 2012 5:38 pm
Melissa Block speaks with Jennifer Cooke, director of the Africa program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, about the deteriorating situation in Mali. Islamic militants in recent days have destroyed sacred tombs in the ancient city of Timbuktu. A military coup there in March created a power vacuum, allowing the rebel and Islamist groups to take over the northern part of the country. West African leaders this past weekend urged Mali's interim government to request outside military assistance.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan of the Body
What Affects the Test
The following may stop you from having the test or may change the test results:
- Pregnancy. CT scans are not usually done during pregnancy.
- Barium used for another test. Barium shows up on a CT scan. If a CT scan of the belly is needed, it should be done before any tests that use barium, such as a barium enema.
- Metal objects in the body. These items, such as surgical clips or metal in joint replacements, may prevent a clear view of the body area.
- You are not able to lie still during the test.
What To Think About
- Sometimes your CT test results may be different than those from other types of X-ray tests, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound scans because the CT scan provides a different view.
- An ultrasound test, which doesn't use dangerous radiation, may give results similar to those of a CT scan. If you are concerned about radiation exposure, ask your doctor if you can have an ultrasound instead of a CT scan.
- Children who need a CT scan may need special instructions for the test. The child will likely need to hold his or her breath during the scan. If the child is too young to hold still or is afraid, the doctor may give the child a medicine (sedative) to help him or her relax.
- If your child is scheduled for a CT scan, talk with your child's doctor about the need for the scan and the risk of radiation exposure to your child.
- Special
CT scanners called spiral (helical) CT scanners and multi-slice (or
multi-detector) CT scanners are sometimes used for this test. Many modern
scanners are multi-slice scanners. These scanners can be used for many
conditions, such as finding
kidney stones, a
pulmonary embolism, an enlarged
prostate gland, or
atherosclerosis. These special CT scanners can:
- Take better pictures of blood vessels and organs so other imaging tests may not be needed.
- Complete scans and provide pictures in less time.
- CT results are often compared to positron emission tomography (PET) results to help find cancer. Some new scanners do both scans at the same time.
- An electron beam CT scan is another type of CT scan that can find atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. An electron beam CT scan is much faster than a standard CT scan and can take a good picture of a coronary artery while the heart is beating. Electron beam CT scans are not widely available. Another type of CT scanner, the multi-slice CT scan, is nearly as fast as electron beam CT scanners and is more widely available.
- A CT angiogram can show two- and three-dimensional pictures of blood vessels and the heart.
- Coronary calcium scans use a CT scan to check for early signs of coronary artery disease. This test is not advised for routine screening.
- MRI may give different information than a CT scan about certain conditions. To learn more, see the topic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
- A spiral CT is a way to scan the lungs more quickly than with a standard CT. Some doctors recommend this to screen for lung cancer in people who are older than 55 and who are at high risk for lung cancer.
- Experts disagree about the use of a CT method called full-body scanning to screen for coronary artery disease and cancers. Full-body scanning is expensive, can lead to unnecessary tests or surgery, and may increase the chance of cancer from the radiation exposure. Most doctors do not recommend these studies unless a person has a specific risk for a certain disease.

Kansas Anti-Evolution Bill Pronounced Dead in the Water
The Dini Case
Texas Tech University biology professor Michael Dini is reportedly the target of a Justice Department inquiry for refusing to award letters of recommendations to students who deny human evolution.
Proposed Textbook Disclaimer Bill Dies in Committee
House Bill 1397, sponsored by Representative Carmel Wells-Smith, was introduced in the Mississippi House of Representatives and referred to the Education Committee on January 20, 2003. On February 4 the bill died in committee when it missed the House's deadline for action. HB 1397 would have required the inclusion of a version of the Alabama evolution disclaimer in every textbook that discusses the subject. Wells-Smith introduced two antievolution bills in the 2002 legislative session, both of which also died in committee.
State Board Approves Biology Textbooks
On December 11, 2002 the South Carolina Board of Education voted 10-5 to approve a number of new biology textbooks for local adoption across the state next fall. Several board members had objected to the way evolution was presented in some of the books, but a motion to remove two biology texts from the list failed by a 9-6 vote. Some board members were quoted in a December 22 news story in the Charleston Post & Courier as opposing one book because its preface referred to "creation science" and "intelligent design" as "pseudoscience".
Internet "Poll" on Teaching Evolution
A Georgia newspaper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has published the results of its December 2002 "Voice of Atlanta" internet survey regarding evolution education. The results cannot be considered either accurate or precise, since they are not based on a random sample of the population. In addition, the single question asked was somewhat ambiguous:
Do you agree or disagree: The theory of evolution should be taught in public schools to the exclusion of all other theories, such as creationism or "intelligent design."

My new refrigerator has an ice maker. After living in Paris for close to ten years, I've kind of gotten used to not having ice-on-demand. And when out and about, I'm now used to being served drinks with just one puny ice-cube bobbing sadly on the surface of a tepid drink. So now, when I go back to the states, I'm always a little overwhelmed by the oversized glasses filled to the brim with brisk, frosty, cracklin' ice cubes. Because I've rounded the corner of converting to some of the European habits (although the 5hr cycle on my dishwasher still baffles me – what the heck is going on in there?) I sometimes have to slip into that "Can I have water with no ice, please?" mode, which pegs me squarely in the minds of American waitpeople as one of "those" customers.
But the glacial movement that's spread across North America doesn't seem to be reserved just for France; it seems that there is a European conspiracy against the chilly beasts. One I got used to no ice, I really stopped giving ice much thought. But when visitors come, they would always want me to ask the café waiter for some extra ice for their drinks. Then the glass of ice arrives, with a long spoon, which they shovel into their drinks, scraping the bottom of the glass so as not to miss one single drop of the still-cold water.

Note: This page may not follow the explanations from the JLS.
Java has two basic informal rules for scoping:
Principle #1: "A variable is only visible in the block it is defined in and in nested blocks".
Principle #2: "A variable can't be visible more than one time".
Java does know classwide variables and local variables. Local variables are defined as method parameter or inside the method block. Classwide variables are defined as attributes of the class. Of course Java does violate this first principle I showed at top here a little since I can access class wide varibales from outside the class, if the access modifier is for example public. A local variable of the same name as an attribute does not violate the second principle, as the attribute is hidden by the local variable and with this no longer visible without using a qualifier like "this".
Now, what about Groovy?
In Groovy we also have these two principles, but since we have different constructs, we may lay out these principles in a different way. Let us start with local variables.
- In Groovy you are neither allowed to define two local variables of the same name, just like in Java.
- You are allowed to hide an attribute by defining a local variable of the same name, just like in Java.
So what is different?
Scripts are. When you define a variable in a script it is always local. But methods are not part of that scope. So defining a method using different variables as if they were attributes and then defining these variables normally in the script leads to problems. Example:
Executing this code you get an exception talking about a missing property or field.
The only things the method has access to are:
- the binding,
- attributes defined by the base class, and
- the dynamic properties defined by the MetaClass (explanations for these will follow).
"attribute" here is no field, no property, no dynamic defined property and not part of the binding.
When is something in the Binding and when not?
That's easy. When it is not defined, it is in the binding.
The trick is - and that is admittedly not easy for Java programers - to not to define the variable before using it, and it will go into the binding. Any defined variable is local. Please note: the binding exists only for scripts.
What is this "def" I heard of?
"def" is a replacement for a type name. In variable definitions it is used to indicate that you don't care about the type. In variable definitions it is mandatory to either provide a type name explicitly or to use "def" in replacement. This is needed to the make variable definitions detectable for the Groovy parser.
These definitions may occur for local variables in a script or for local variables and properties/fields in a class.
Future Groovy may give "def" an additional meaning in terms of static and dynamic typing. But this is post Groovy 1.0.
"def" can also replace "void" as the return type in a method definiton.
The assignment of a string, to a variable of type int will fail. A variable typed with "def" allows this.
A Closure is a block
In the terms of the principles above a closure is a block. A variable defined in a block is visible in that block and all blocks that are defined in that block. For example in Java:
Such a block may be defined freely as in the example above, or by loops, synchronized statements, try-catch, switch, ... all that has "{".
In Groovy we have an additonal structure with "{", the closure. To follow the principles above, it is not allowed to define two variables of the same name in a closure.
And of course, the same for combinations with nested closures.
A block ends with its corresponding "}". So it is allowed to reuse that name later in a different block.
Both closures define a local varibale named "parameter", but since these closures are not nested, this is allowed. Note: unlike early versions of Groovy and unlike PHP, a variable is visible in the block, not outside. Just like in Java.
And "it"?
"it" is a special variable name, that is defined automatically inside a closure. It refers always to the first parameter of the closure, or null, if the closure doesn't have any parameters.
When using nested cosures (closures in closures) the meaning of "it" depends on the closure you are in.
You see, that "it" is used two times, the "it" in "inner" means the first parameter of the closure "inner", the following "it" means the first parameter of "outer". This helps a lot when copying code from one place to another containing closure that are using it.
The keyword "static"
"static" is a modifier for attributes (and methods, but this is not at issue here). It defines the "static scope". That means all variables not defined with "static" are not part of that static scope and as such not visible there. There is no special magic to this in Groovy. So for an explanation of "static" use any Java book.
