Major in Public Safety Administration
Students may seek either an academic major or minor in public safety administration.
The major in public safety administration helps students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for leadership and administration in those occupations and organizations that provide public safety. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a global outlook, interpersonal skills, leadership abilities, an awareness of current issues, and management competencies, including strategic planning, risk management, public policy, program development and implementation, ethics, and supervision. Graduates of the program may pursue careers as public safety leaders in both the public and private sectors. Students may also supplement the comprehensive core study of public safety with a related minor in corporate security, emergency management, fire service administration, or homeland security.

Former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Latest Game Changer To Speak at Mega Technology Conference
MAVA announced that nationally-regarded cybersecurity expert Jane Holl Lute has been added to the speaking lineup at the upcoming Capital Connection 2013 conference. Until May, Lute served as Deputy Secretary for the US Department of Homeland Security with responsibilities for formulating the DHS position on cybersecurity. At DHS, Lute advocated for a greater role for private industry in finding solutions to cyber challenges. As such, she has been at the epicenter of this expanded debate in helping to define the role of government in securing the internet, having said "We want to build the most secure cyber-economy on Earth."
As a featured speaker on the Capital Connection program, Lute joins three growth company CEOs in education technology, mobility and healthcare IT as a Game Changer, each focused on an exponentially growing sector of technology and the opportunities to reshape thinking and the consumer and enterprise experiences.
Capital Connection 2013 takes place June 5-6 at the Mead Center for American Theater, Home to Arena Stage, in Washington, DC. The mega conference showcases technologies at all stages of development. This year's focus on education, mobility, health IT and cybersecurity, seeks to highlight sectors which are growing globally and have particular significance for the core East Coast audience of attendees.
"While Capital Connection and our speakers draw attendees from around the country, and even the world, we would not be serving our audience well if we didn't tap the deep well of expertise in our own backyard in sectors such as cybersecurity" said Julia Spicer, Executive Director of MAVA (Mid-Atlantic Venture Association). "Jane Holl Lute's work at the US Department of Homeland Security, as well as her experience at the United Nations, puts her squarely at the knowledge center of one of the most important policy decisions of our time - that of domestic and international internet security - with far-reaching ramifications ranging from geopolitical implications to global commerce to national security. Her unique expertise and work has made her one of the world's most authoritative voices and allows her to share insights into the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, particularly through an international lens."
As the second-ranking official at the US Department of Homeland Security, Lute championed a civilian-controlled Internet. She previously served as United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Peacebuilding Support and also was Executive VP and COO of the United Nations Foundation and Better World Fund. Her decades-long experience in international and national security includes serving on the National Security Council under President George H.W. Bush and President Bill Clinton.
Capital Connection™ is open to the public and will feature a wide range of technology sectors, reflecting the variety of deep expertise and sector diversity in the greater Mid-Atlantic region. The agenda for the 1 ½ day conference for high growth companies includes presentations from more than a dozen growth and later stage companies on the Main Stage, as well as TechBUZZ start-up presentations and networking opportunities throughout the program.

Tour a farmhouse cottage
In our October 2010 issue, we featured a gorgeous old cottage in Muskoka, owned by Toronto couple Viki Mansell and Kevin Keeley. Viki is the stylish eye behind beloved antique and home decor shop Absolutely. If you've ever visited her shop, you're familiar with her amazing ability to mix traditional and modern styles, and her clever way of making even the most everyday object look like a piece of art. Her cottage, a former lodge, is a showcase of these skills and is clearly a labour of love. The couple bought the place when it was in near-derelict condition, fixed it up using lots of elbow grease and white paint, and over the years have done most of the maintenance themselves, not to mention nurturing a beautiful garden.
I'm delighted to share with you a few photos that didn't make it into the pages of the magazine (choosing which shots to feature was no easy task). I'll also be posting more outtakes from the shoot in the next couple of days. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

A massive fish kill on the
Mitch Blake, Neuse Riverkeeper, viewed the area Tuesday afternoon, saying there were several hundred thousand dead fish washed up on the beach and in the river.
For 21 days, mostly Atlantic menhaden have been dying over a large portion of the river from
Some of the dead menhaden have ulcers that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials have identified as Aphanomyces invadans from six samples analyzed in Beaufort. Fish samples were taken from the
"Over the 21-day period fish have been reported dead from
Very few other species have been reported dead during the fish kill, except for isolated spots around Bay Point, which also had red drum, striped bass and spot.
"At this time we continue to see large schools of Atlantic menhaden, some floating, some are sinking to the bottom upon death," Blake said. "An accurate count has not been totaled due to the massive area but just (Tuesday) I counted areas that were over 500 yards in length with approximately 90 dead fish per foot. With numbers like this it could easily go into the millions. In these areas there are dead, decaying, and in some cases just bones to reveal the timeline and magnitude of the kill."
Joe Freemon, who lives in
"You could stand there and see lots of others floating on top of the water," Freemon said. "It's the biggest (fish kill) I've seen and I've been on the water here over 50 years. You could smell it a couple of hundred feet away. … It's a bad situation and unfortunate. "
Blake said experts have told him the fish kill may continue due to the complexity of the area and lack of funding to run the proper analyzing equipment.
"There have been issues with oxygen, phytoplankton, stratification, nitrogen, pollutants among others, so the exact cause of death in the areas listed, has been complex to say the least," he said.
Blake said he has been talking to a lot of people in the scientific community about what is causing the fish to die.
"I'm trying to put together a team to analyze it better," Blake said.
As a nonprofit and staff of three to cover the

Jill Paxson, environmental senior specialist with the N.C. Division of Water Quality, said for the past three weeks her office has been inundated with calls about menhaden fish kills, and not only in the Neuse River. There has been large kills in the
Paxson said menhaden have a tough time living in a fresh and salt water estuary like the
"It is a very difficult place if you are a fish," she said.
Paxson said as a precaution people should not go in the water around the fish or let their pets in the water and should wash if they do come in contact with the fish or water.
People usually don't eat menhaden. They are on the bottom of the food chain and are eaten by larger fish like tuna and sharks, Paxson said.

Diamond Back went all out in creating the top of the line Podium 7. The Podium 7 features a sub 900 gram frame and tapered full carbon fork that was created using the latest 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to design and build a lightweight, stiff and responsive frame suitable for the top racers and the weekend warriors.
The key to the weight and strength of the Podium 7 frame lies in the properties of the carbon build process. The Advanced Monocoque Molding Process ensures that each area of the frame has the correct amount of carbon. In a nutshell, more carbon is used where it is needed and less where it isn't. This keeps the weight down and the strength high. The process of the carbon construction is carefully controlled. The carbon plies are hand laid around a polystyrene pre-form core, using a plastic bladder in the shape of the product. Keeping a precise mold is a key objective in the carbon process and Diamond Back engineers take great care in ensuring a precise fit. Silicon mandrel shells are also used to reinforce critical joint areas so as to create smoother overlapping fibers.
Diamond Back chooses to use Mitsubishi Rayon MR60 and HR40 carbon and the popular Toray T700 fibers. These fibers are incredibly difficult to work with, but because of their stiffness, the Podium can be made with very thin wall thicknesses. These fibers are bonded to together with Diamond Back's Optimum Resin Compound(ORC). Using too much resin makes a frame heavy and sluggish and using too little can result in separation and failure. OCR ensures the best ratio of resin to carbon combination and that creates a strong bonding process and an incredibly impact resistant carbon material. Diamond Back keeps quality control very high by manufacturing all their carbon fiber sheets in house unlike many competitors that buy pre-impregnated sheets.

Comments about Outlet: Diamondback Podium 7 Frame:
The DB Podium 7 was a creation developed when Diamondback decided to rebuild their brand image. They reached out to the same firm that helped Cervelo design their bikes to create this sub 900 gram frame. It's lightweight, stiff were it should be, compliant where it should be, and handles beautifully. The house brand tapered form tracks well and provides fast, yet stable, handing. The full build featuring Campy Super Record 11 is what I purchased, and it flys! The complete build weights 15.4 lbs with cages, pedals, and a computer!!!
The only negative to this bike is that the internal top tube routing for the rear brake cable allows it to rattle in the frame, and the noise it makes can be distracting. The bends that cable takes also keep the rear brake from performing as well as it could. Besides that, the bike is pretty much perfect. It can go toe to toe with any S-Works SL4, Cervelo, Madone, etc... any time (and much less of a cost) This frame is a steal at this price.

Stop Hoarding Data – Retire Your Old, Redundant Applications!
Just like your house needs yearly spring cleaning and you need to regularly throw out old junk, your application portfolio needs periodic review and rationalization to identify legacy, redundant applications that can be decommissioned to reduce bloat and save costs. If you have a hard time letting go of old stuff, it's probably even harder for your application users to let go of access to their data. However, retiring applications doesn't have to mean that you also lose the data within them. If the data within those applications are still needed for periodic reporting or for regulatory compliance, then there are still ways to retain the data without maintaining the application. (more…)

"Education should turn up your personality."
I opened a DJ lifestyle boutique as a freshman using a business plan I put together in retail management class. In the mornings, I studied fashion merchandising. In the afternoon, I was at my store on Broad Street, tweaking my spring lineup. What started as a class project is my real-life project.
"Now that I have two-year-old twins, life's taken on quite a different perspective."
It's kind of a curse — being someone who is just sort of naturally curious, restless and hasn't tried any job where they didn't get bored after a while. I like to push things as far as they can go. Right now, I'm pushing to teach our science grad students the art of design and communication. That's something you could only find here.
"I had to lose myself in the city to find out who I really am."
I came from a small town, so I used to be intimidated by the city. I wouldn't have come here if it weren't for track. But now, it's like it just amplifies my whole personality. I don't know where I'll end up, but now the next step doesn't scare me.
"There are two sides to every story — including mine."
I changed from pre-med to public relations and human resources because I like people — communicating with people is my thing. PR teaches me how to talk to people, how to persuade them — not only in work, but in life. PR is the friendly side. HR is the serious side. VCU lets me be both.
"Write what you know. Fortunately, I'm funny."
My dream job is writing for "Saturday Night Live" or a comedy sketch show. I've always wanted to be like Tina Fey — write, act, produce and have my hand in everything, as long as it's comedy. The classes I've taken focus on honing your genre and making sure you are making quality work, whatever it is. VCU has definitely inspired me to be more creative in everything that I do. And that's no joke.
"Not only do you learn something new, but you find how to make it better."
I wanted to be an obstetrician before I really even knew what that was. In Nigeria, pregnancy procedures used to mean life or death. If you couldn't deliver the baby, you died. I still remember being amazed holding my aunt's baby after her C-section. That moment is why I am here and why I'm applying to med school.
"When you leave a place for the first time, your whole scope of the world is cracked. It's bigger than you thought."
I like the idea of being whoever you want to be. I thought I was going to play football, but then I found theater. I guess that makes sense, because mom is a painter and I have five younger siblings who are all artists, musicians or actors. Look around — at murals on the walls, art hanging in coffee shops, bikes in the street. There's inspiration everywhere.
"My community is a bunch of communities smashed together and that's how I like it."
I'm a first-generation college student who came out to my parents when I was 7. I gave up a full ride to a very prestigious college to transfer here. My first day on campus, I was just amazed by the people I saw walking through Shafer Court. The clothes and colors — I just felt this must be a tolerant place and I knew I'd made the right decision. There's a mural near campus that says 'Go for it all' — that really sums up my story.
"It's the human side that draws me in."
I shadowed an oral surgeon at the VCU School of Dentistry when I was in high school after getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Most kids would have been really turned off, but I found it so comforting to have a doctor explain everything to me. I work in the dental school now so I can become a dental professional and do the same thing for someone else someday.
"Experiences are like notes and you build them into chords."
I was a working musician for a decade of my life. But it turned into a grind, so I started working in a music shop in Oahu, where I was stationed after graduation. So much of it was guiding people to find the right instrument and, because of my music performance education, I had a great understanding that others may not have. That was a huge seismic shift for me — realizing that I could use my experience and education to help people. That's what led me to open my own shop.
"When I see people go from frustration to success, that's the most exciting part."
I want to see students really figure out if health care is a field they want to get into. I want to be their cheerleader, their guide. I want to make sure they have a love, interest and passion for health care — that they're making meaningful, informed decisions. I can't wait to make that impact.
"I had to push myself to where I could succeed."
Coming to VCU was an uncomfortable stretch for me, but one that I had to make. My father is a United Nations worker in Liberia, helping to rebuild his country. If I'm going to help him, I need to experience the city and be part of an international community. I need to be here.
"At its core, dance is powerful."
Last summer I volunteered at Beth Shalom and was able to shadow a therapist. I even got to lead some dance therapy sessions. The power of small steps and movements made such a difference in their lives. That's why I added a psychology minor to my dance and choreography major.
"This class isn't just about history, it's about right now."
This is a good place to talk about particularly difficult issues. I've got students that represent a wide variety of ethnicities, so when I'm talking about race relations, for instance, we get a really good mix of opinions. It generates strong discussions, because people speak from the heart about their experiences. That's what brings history to real life.

The Mitsubishi Montero Sport was introduced in the 1997 model year and structurally modified beginning with 2001 models to improve occupant protection in frontal offset crashes.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia and right foot indicate that injuries to the lower leg and foot would be possible. Head accelerations from the roof rail, B-pillar, and grab handle hits were negligible.
Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. The driver's seat tipped toward the B-pillar and during rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail, B-pillar, and grab handle for the left rear door.

Updated 2:10 p.m., 5-22-2013
HAVELOCK — A driver being pursued by Havelock police lost control and crashed into the Mr. Carpet building Wednesday morning in Havelock.
The driver, Sarah Nicole Kronenberg, 29, was transported to CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern, where she was treated and released, according to a hospital spokeswoman. As of early Wednesday afternoon, Kronenberg was in the custody of Havelock police, facing multiple charges.
No one was inside Mr. Carpet when the Toyota Highlander crashed through the side of the building that faces Dogwood Street shortly before 10 a.m.
Johnathon Gurney was outside the nearby Highway 55 restaurant and saw police trying to catch up with the vehicle. Kronenberg was heading east on East Main Street, hit the raised median, crossed the two westbound lanes and slammed into the side of the building.
"She was weaving in and out of traffic," Gurney said. "She was doing a good amount of speed. She hit that curb and popped into the air. She couldn't gain control. There were four squad cars behind her."
Tim Hardin, who runs Mr. Carpet, was outside and saw the crash happen.
"We were out front and I thought for sure that car was coming right at us," he said. "Normally, we would be loading up on that side of the building, but for some reason, we were loading out front today. Thank God. That would have been a mess."
Havelock Police Capt. David Bratton said police first noticed the vehicle when it made a wide turn on Belltown Road into oncoming traffic, crossing the double lines, in front of a police officer Gaylan Finney. Kronenberg was on a cell phone at the time, according to a release from the department.
Finney turned around, put on his blue lights and siren, and tried to catch up to the vehicle, which Bratton said was estimated to be going 45 to 50 mph and running through stop signs in the Woodhaven neighborhood.
Bratton said Finney lost track of the vehicle but then saw Kronenberg leave the neighborhood and head east on East Main Street. Bratton said Kronenberg hit speeds estimated at 65 to 70 mph as other officers tried to catch up. They were about 150 to 200 yards behind her vehicle when it left the road and hit the building, according to the release.
"She tried to make a left turn, hit the median and crashed into the building," Bratton said.
Kronenberg faces multiple charges, including driving while impaired, failure to stop for blue light and siren, damage to property, and resist, obstruct and delay of a law enforcement officer.
Damage to the building was significant, with the car hitting the side of the building and then breaking through a side garage door. Pieces of the car and building were scattered about the area where various carpet is stored.
The Highlander had significant front-end damage, and one of the tires was flat. The airbag did deploy. As police searched the vehicle, they pulled two child car seats out, but the driver was the lone person in the car at the time of the crash.

11/27/13 Is O.J., Khloe K. Dad?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, November 27, 2013
ALEC BALDWIN'S MSNBC show has been canceled, and he blames what he calls, quote, "the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy", which includes GLAAD. He says, quote, "This is probably one of [their] greatest triumphs. They killed my show."
Former "Malcolm in the Middle" star FRANKIE MUNIZ suffered a MINI-STROKE. It was his second in the past year. He said, quote, "Almost a year to the day, I experienced another mini stroke. Hopefully that will be the last." Frankie turns 28 next Thursday.
On Monday night, Prince William hosted the Winter Whites Gala, benefitting his youth homelessness charity and the highlight of the event was a concert headlined by Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift. During Bon Jovi's final set, he encouraged the future king of England to come up on the stage and sing "Livin' On A Prayer" with him. Prince William agreed on the condition that Swift join in as well.
OJ Simpson's manager says O.J. is Khloe Kardasian's real father. Norman Pardo says Kris Jenner conceived Khloe during a drunken hookup with Simpson. He says Jenner, her husband Robert Kardashian, and OJ and his then-wife Nicole Brown Simpson all took their vacations together and there was a lot of partying going on back then and Kris cheated on Robert. He says that the truth is going to come out sooner or later.
Jennifer Love Hewitt welcomed her first child, a baby girl. Autumn James Hallisay was born yesterday. She also secretly married her fiancee Brian Hallisay. A source says the couple "got married recently in private."
Kanye West claims that he's the second coming of the famous Walt Disney. The rapper said, "I'm just a creative. I'm more like, a Walt Disney or something. Like, rap is just a chamber of my thoughts." He also referred to a recent Vanity Fair cover that featured Kate Upton as Marilyn Monroe, yelling, "Kate Upton ain't Marilyn Monroe! Kim Marilyn Monroe [sic]!"

Tuesday, November 26, 2013
It's only been a week since CLINT EASTWOOD'S daughter 20-year-old daughter Francesca ran off to Las Vegas and married JONAH HILL'S 35-year-old brother Jordan Feldstein . . . in front of an Elvis impersonator, no less. But Francesca already wants the marriage ANNULLED. Sources say that ALCOHOL had a lot to do with this union. But the paparazzi caught up with Francesca and asked if it was a DRUNKEN MISTAKE . . . and she said she doesn't drink.
SANDRA BULLOCK has been named "Entertainment Weekly's" Entertainer of the Year. There are 15 other, lesser, entertainers of the year. They include Jennifer Lawrence, Pharrell, Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey and Grumpy Cat. GEORGE CLOONEY recently joked that Sandra has the nasty habit of DRUNK-DIALING him in the middle of the night. And she responds in the new "EW". She says, quote, "I'm so embarrassed for him because I think he's showing his vulnerable side. It's a booty call. But then he wants the commitment and the marriage and I'm like 'Dude, I don't have the time.' And he's all 'But I'm not a one night stand kind of guy.' Well, then, I can't. Drunk dialing is what it is, George. I just need an hour of your time."
ANGELINA JOLIE is reportedly buying BRAD PITT a $20 million private ISLAND for his birthday next month. It's off the coast of New York City and it has an AMAZING house on it designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This report came from a British tabloid though, so it might not be true.
MILEY CYRUS celebrated her birthday at a club Sunday night after the "American Music Awards", and it was a pretty typical Miley party. There was pot imagery, little people, strippers, twerking and celebrities, including Kelly Osbourne, Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, One Direction and . . . THE LORAX. There were also giant cut-outs of Miley's face . . . tongue out, of course.
Sources say MILEY CYRUS lost $100,000 worth of stuff when her house was robbed on Friday afternoon, including jewelry and several expensive purses. There were no signs of forced entry, but Miley has security cameras, so it's likely they got some footage of the theft.
11/25/13 Least Influential Celebs

A man claims he was kidnapped just days before he was supposed to testify against another man who allegedly tried to extort CHARLIE SHEEN over a sex tape of Charlie's that was stolen from one of NICOLAS CAGE'S ex-girlfriends. Police are investigating.
DENNIS RODMAN tops "GQ" magazine's list of the Least Influential Celebrities of 2013. Also making this year's list are MILEY CYRUS (6), PRESIDENT OBAMA (17) and PAULA DEEN (2). Here's the Top 10. . .
1. Dennis Rodman
2. Paula Deen
3. Anthony Weiner
4. Justin Bieber
5. Pope Benedict XVI
6. Miley Cyrus
7. Aaron Hernandez
8. Royal baby Prince George
9. George Zimmerman prosecutor Angela Corey
10. Will Smith and family
MILEY CYRUS' house was robbed Friday, and some personal items were stolen. She wasn't home at the time. Meanwhile, her eyebrows are back, and she got a sweet, three-wheeled motorcycle from her dad for her 21st birthday on Saturday.
In a new interview, CONRAD MURRAY talks about how close he was to MICHAEL JACKSON . . . quote, "I held his penis every night to fit a catheter because he was incontinent at night. He wore dark trousers all the time because after he went to the toilet he would drip for hours." In a separate interview, he refused to answer when asked if Michael was a pedophile.
KIM KARDASHIAN wrote a message to her fans on eBay, to point out that a portion of her auction proceeds go to the relief effort in the Philippines. But she didn't mention that it's only TEN PERCENT of the proceeds that are going to charity. She's pocketing the other 90%.
11/12/13 What Celebs Earn
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, November 22, 2013
MATT DAMON recently did a European ad for Nespresso with GEORGE CLOONEY. Matt was onscreen for about 20 seconds, and he was paid $3 million. That averages out to $150,000 PER SECOND. So what else could one second of Matt Damon's time get you? How about a four-year degree from UCLA?
Here's what some other celebrities' time is worth . . .
BRITNEY SPEARS was paid $15 million to be a judge on "X Factor" last season. She did 28 episodes, at 60-minutes each . . . giving her an hourly rate of $535,000. So just one hour of Britney's time could clothe KATE MIDDLETON, the Duchess of Cambridge, for over FIVE YEARS. Kate's wardrobe costs about 100-grand a year.
RIHANNA made $98,000 by just sitting in the front row of a Karl Lagerfeld runway show . . . for 30 MINUTES. So she made enough in those 30 minutes to buy three Mercedes coupes.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN makes $13,000 per sponsored Tweet. That's $98 per character. So one character in a Khloe Kardashian Tweet can buy you a dress and matching earrings from the Kardashian Kollection.
How convenient is this? CHRIS BROWN knows of a drug that would be PERFECT for his anger management problems. And it's called . . . MARIJUANA. Apparently, Chris had been taking medical marijuana for years, but a judge made him stop earlier this year and start taking more traditional antidepressants. But a source says, quote, "Those make Chris feel very numb and he felt that everything around him was fuzzy. He felt dull and thirsty all the time."
HUGH JACKMAN was treated for SKIN CANCER on his nose. He Tweeted, quote, "[My wife] said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right! I had a basil cell carcinoma. Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!" Hugh didn't say how it was treated, but he posted a picture of his bandaged nose.
RODNEY DANGERFIELD'S widow keeps a Tupperware container full of his sweat in the fridge. They started collecting it after hearing that a handkerchief with Elvis' sweat on it sold for a lot of money. She says, quote, "Rodney had a 'eureka' moment. He said, 'I sweat more than anybody! My sweat has to be as good as Elvis' sweat, right?'"
11/21/13 Chris Brown Kicked Out of Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, November 21, 2013
Sources say that KIM KARDASHIAN dropped 80-GRAND on various procedures to lose her baby weight. And KANYE WEST, whose mother died getting plastic surgery in 2007, has BANNED her from getting anything else done. But Kim denies it. She says, quote, "This is false . . . I work out so hard and this was such a challenge for me but I did it . . . no one will take this away from me with fake reports."
CHRIS BROWN didn't leave rehab willingly earlier this month. He was KICKED OUT, after throwing a rock through the window of HIS MOTHER'S CAR. His mom was there for a family counseling session, and Chris got mad because she was trying to convince him to stay for extended anger management treatment. So he freaked out and busted her car window. So Chris was hauled back into court yesterday, and the judge ordered him to enter a live-in anger management facility for 90 DAYS. He'll have to be drug-tested while he's there.
"Life & Style" magazine says that LINDSAY LOHAN suffers from achondro-plasia-phobia . . . which is the FEAR OF LITTLE PEOPLE. A so-called source say Lindsay had a major anxiety attack a few years ago when she saw two little people, and had to take a pill to calm herself down. Lindsay's rep says this isn't true, and she, quote, "loves all people."
JENNIFER LAWRENCE did some OVER-SHARING on last night's "Letterman" about a medical problem she had recently. She said, quote, "I just had this really bad pain for, like, three weeks. And you know you can only [poop] your pants so many times a day before you go to the emergency room, before you're like 'I need to go to the hospital.'"

The following plugins can be extended with new rules :
- Checkstyle (Java)
- PMD (Java)
- Codesniffer and phpmd (PHP)
- C, freeware plugin provided BySonarSource
- Cobol, commercial plugin provided by SonarSource
Checkstyle (Java)
Checkstyle provides extension mechanisms to develop your own coding rules. Tutorials to write such custom rules are available online. You can for instance define your own naming conventions, forbid access to a given API or anything else that is relevant in your context.
Once written, the Checkstyle classes must be packaged in a JAR file. This file must be copied in the directory $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/checkstyle/. A XML file must then be created in the same directory to "index" all the new rules. The name of this XML file doesn't matter but the .xml suffix must be used. This XML file must look like the following example :
PMD (Java)
The PMD coding rules must be packaged in a JAR file and this file must be copied in the directory $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/pmd/. Moreover, the JAR file must also contain the PMD ruleset XML file (in the following example, this XML file will be available through the classloader with the following path : rulesets/myruleset.xml)
A XML file must then be created in the same $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/pmd/ directory to "index" all available custom rules implemented in the JAR file. The name of this XML file doesn't matter but the .xml suffix must be used.
This XML file must look like the following example :
A full example is published in sonar sources. See the XML file and the Maven project .
Since Sonar 2.3, it's also possible to define XPath rules directly into this XML file without any need to provide an additional JAR file. Here is an example of XPath rule defintion :

Read the plugin ocumentation.
Read the plugin documentation.
Solution 2: Executing a code analyzer
A code analyzer plugin executes the following steps :
- Register definitions of coding rules, when the server is started.
- Optionally define some templates of quality profiles, when the server is started.
- Analyze source code and inject results in database
1. Registering coding rules
This step relates to the extension point org.sonar.api.rules.RuleRepository. A RuleRepository defines a set of coding rules. It usually loads data from a XML file :
The XML file is available in the plugin classloader and looks like :
2. Defining quality profiles
This step relates to the extension point org.sonar.api.profiles.ProfileDefinition. Profiles provided by plugins are registered at server startup and can't be edited by users :
3. Analyzing source code
This step relates to the extension point org.sonar.api.batch.Sensor.

Tom Braaten set the tone for last week's celebration honoring former Havelock mayor Jimmy Sanders.
Braaten, a retired Marine Corps commanding general at Cherry Point, pointed out that Sanders had served in the Air Force.
"Everybody's entitled to one mistake, and that was his," Braaten joked.
And, so began an endless slew of stories and jokes about Sanders, from the time he burned down a dugout when he tried to dry a wet softball field by setting it on fire to his work at Fleet Readiness Center East — or lack thereof, according to co-worker Bruce Styron.
"People would always ask how Jimmy made his money, and he had a job on base. I know because I'm the guy who did all of his work," Styron joked.
But between the jokes, there was recognition for Sanders' service to the Havelock Fire and Rescue Department, to youth sports, to the Eastern Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation, and of course, to the city as a Havelock commissioner and mayor.
"I know a lot of people who love Havelock," Styron said. "But no one loves Havelock like Jimmy Sanders."
After all the accolades and jokes, Sanders had an opportunity to address the large crowd. He mentioned that it seemed odd to attend an event that celebrated his life, a life he said he hoped wasn't ending anytime soon.
"Maybe you people know something I don't," Sanders joked. "I hope you're wrong."
The Havelock Chamber of Commerce put on the event at the Havelock Tourist and Event Center. Sanders called the gathering a humbling experience.
"Being here, this is not something I ever would have done, but don't think it's not appreciated," he said.
Sanders then began to thank many in the audience, including city workers and staff.
"It is humbling to look out and see so many great people who have made such a difference in my life," he said.
Sanders particularly thanked Commissioner Danny Walsh.
"What am I thankful for about being an elected official all these years? Danny is probably near the top of the list," he said. "If I had never come back to serve on the board in 2001, I never would have had the opportunity to serve on the board with Danny Walsh, and both of us would have left this life not knowing what good friends we were meant to me."
He also thanked retiring city manager Jim Freeman.
"I'm going to give you a scoop: Sometimes, six elected officials don't see eye to eye," Sanders said. "But, Jim was great at keeping the waters calm, and I appreciate it and I appreciate everything he has done for the city of Havelock."
He also thanked his family for years of support.
"I think family, they are the ones who have to put up the most with us being elected officials," he said. "People will say something to my wife, my niece. They will say something to you that they wouldn't say to me, and you all have a very special place in my heart."
He particularly thanked his wife Cherrie, but also couldn't resist a joke.
"We got married on Friday the 13th. They said it wouldn't last, and they may be right. I don't know," he said. "And, she was from New Bern, bless her heart, but we have converted this child."
He said he remembered the early days of the fire department, when he worried about purchasing tires for the trucks and not having safety equipment for new firefighters. He also recalled the days when Havelock was incorporated.
"Who would have thought that in 1959 what Havelock would be today?" he said. "None of us. None of us ever dreamed that we would be what we are, and that's thanks to a lot of you in this room. You wouldn't take no for an answer. You didn't ask what the government can do for me. You asked 'how can I get involved? What can I do to make a difference?'"
Sanders, 66, gave thanks and praise to God, and said he appreciated all the support over the years.
"It has been a good run," he said. "I've enjoyed it."

The ICAO Airspace Classification System
The airspace over the UK and surrounding waters from the surface to FL 245 is divided into two Flight Information Regions (FIR); the London FIR and the Scottish FIR. The airspace above the FIR is known as the Upper Flight Information Region (UIR). The airspace within the FIR/UIR is divided into different types using the ICAO Airspace Classification System.
There are currently six classes of airspace under ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices; these are allocated depending on the need to actively control access to airspace and the nature of the activity that takes place within it.
The application of each of the airspace classifications and of the services within each of them within the UK FIRs is in accordance with the harmonisation principles of the ECAC Airspace Strategy and any measures that emanate from the European Commission's Single European Sky policies.
The application of a particular airspace classification to a particular volume of airspace will depend principally upon the number of air traffic movements within it, the complexity of IFR operations within it and also upon the safety hazards posed to public transport flights operating under IFR.
The UK airspace structure needs to evolve and change to meet increasing demand on capacity whilst meeting some key principles:
An overview of each Class of Airspace in the UK:
For more detailed information regarding the Airspace Classifications view the ENR section of the AIP, with specific reference to:
ENR 1.4 - ATS Airspace Classification

Gallery: Brooklyn's New DeKalb Market is Made from 22 Salvaged Shipping...
Emerging from the Jay Street stop of the R train, visitors encounter a wall of orange, red and white containers behind white fencing that holds up a banner to welcome visitors. Passing through an alley between two double stacks of containers, one enters the picnic area and food vendor section of the market. A simple tent covering a series of simple custom made picnic tables, the utilitarian food court typifies the language of the development. Surrounding the court are containers housing local restaurants and cafes. Baristas at the Joe's Coffee container said that while the morning sun does beat down upon their metal clad cafe, minimal air conditioning and adequate insulation make it a surprisingly pleasant environment.
Surrounding the covered picnic tables are a series of shipping containers arranged closely end-to-end. Each container is home to a different restaurant, with servings ranging from soul food to cupcakes. Openings have been carved out of the sides of these boxes, and aluminum strip windows placed withing it, sealed, and sometimes welded directly to the corrugated metal facades.
At opposite sides of the picnic area, container gates are made by raising one container and attaching its underside to the top of adjacent crates, using attachments and joints typical of these industrial components. Through one gate, vendor tents flank the pedestrian path, including smaller vendors in the DeKalb Market without the need to lease a container. Through the opposite gate, a modest urban farm and garden sprouts, with separate plots for different organizations and community farms to grow and showcase their produce.
Relaxing to jazzy beats from BBOX Radio, which provides on-site entertainment and is soon to launch online, the hot stroll through various local vendors gains a rhythm as one emerges from the picnic area to a row of diagonally arranged shipping containers. These stores are positioned this way for the most efficient use of space, as original container doors can swing out and rest against the solid exterior of each metal box. A series of aluminum storefronts is revealed, each enclosing interiors finished out in drywall. A proper amount of insulation is placed between the metal and drywall layers; together with air conditioning a controlled environment is created within each capsule.
Every business takes an unique approach to customize its container. Artists Kudu-Lah may be the most extreme case, placing an enormous cardboard cutout of one of its famous monsters atop its crate, and using elaborate moldings and bold colors to make its interior just as distinctive from its neighbors. Some containers, such as BBOX radio's, are still in a state of flux. The station is collaborating with some local designers and 3rd Ward, an arts collective and fellow tenant in the market, to design furnishings and an inventive extension to its box. While current plans include a touch screen for upcoming programming and a projection screens to accompany music with videos, at the moment a simple DJ booth, sound system, and hammock for relaxing work breaks suffice.
Whether fully finished or still in progress, the vendors of DeKalb Market exemplify Brooklyn's young new economy. These artistic individuals, innovating to thrive in a period of uncertainty, finally have a home that matches their creativity and improvisational spirit.
