OXFORD, Ohio - Leading each of their teams to a 1-1 record on the week, the Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications for the week of Dec. 3-9 are ice hockey freshman forward Riley Barber and basketball senior forward Kirsten Olowinski.
Barber (Livonia, Mich.) scored his second career game-winning goal in the hockey team's 3-2 win Friday over Lake Superior State. He tallied his game-winner 2:09 into the third period with a wicked wrister from just above the left circle that beat the Lakers' netminder top-shelf over his left shoulder. He finished with four shots on goal in the game and a +1 rating. In Saturday's 1-0 loss, Barber fired a career-high six shots on goal as Miami outshot LSSU 46-29, but couldn't find an equalizer despite limiting the Lakers to just one power play goal. He is tied with teammate Austin Czarnik for the CCHA lead with 19 points while he now has seven goals on the year. Barber also leads all freshmen nationally averaging 1.19 points per game.
The Miami Male Athlete of the Week honor is the first of Barber's career. He was also named CCHA Rookie of the Month for November last week, his second straight month winning the award, and was named to the U.S. National Junior Team preliminary roster on Tuesday.
Olowinski (Erie, Pa.) continued her strong play from the previous week, averaging a double-double with 16.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in two games. In leading Miami to a 72-54 win over Wright State on Tuesday, she scored 12 points and brought in a season-high 17 rebounds. During that game she became the 21st player in school history to record 1,000 career points. It was her 33rd career double-double. She followed that up with 21 points and eight rebounds on Saturday at Cleveland State. Olowinski also had three blocks in that game and passed the 900 career rebound mark. For the week, Olowinski shot 50 percent (13-for-26) and was 87.5 percent (7-for-8) from the free throw line. She also had three steals on the week.
This marks the second time in Olowinski's career, but first this year, she has earned Miami Female Athlete of the Week, also earning the honor once last year as a junior. She was named MAC East Division Player of the Week for her efforts last week as well, the second straight week she's won the award.
Barber and the No. 5 hockey team hit the road this weekend for a two-game series at in-state rival Ohio State Friday and Saturday. Olowinksi leads the women's basketball team back on the court Sunday when the RedHawks play at Chicago State at 3 p.m.

I am not a purse carrier. When I am out and about I usually have my large diaper bag/tote bag, which I love, but it can be sort of huge when I am just out on my own and just need to run into a store or something.
So, I wanted to have something smaller that could fit just the essentials like keys, wallet and phone. I didn't have a pattern, but I had a pile of cute fabric and an idea started to form in my brain.
I made a small, easy to carry, fully reversible messenger style bag:
Reversible Messenger Bag Tutorial:
- About 1/3 yard each of two coordinating fabrics (try to get one that does not have to go a certain direction)
- Thread to match
You should now have 4 pieces cut out. A front piece from each fabric and a back/flap piece from each fabric.
Now you need to cut out a strap too. I used the full length of my fabric (45 inches) and did it about 3 or 4 inches wide. Just a nice straight cut. Do this with both pieces as well so that you now have 2 strap pieces.
You should now have 6 pieces of fabric to work with.
I always like to sew the strap first. Put right sides together and sew down both long sides leaving the ends open. Turn it right side out, press it and then top stitch.
Now, using your other pieces, put right sides together on matching fabrics and sew around the edges of the front part on the three outer edges.
Important: Leave about 1/2 inch unsewn at the beginning point and the ending point. This will make it easier later because you will need to fold that part down.
Sew the pieces together just around the top part stopping before you get to the Front pieces.
Now you are going to flip it so that the right sides are out and one pocket is right inside the other. Push the corners out nicely and press it flat.
Top stitch just the flap part for added stablility:
Almost done! Simply fold the two raw edges of your Front part in towards each other about 1/2 inch and press them.
Slide your strap in between the two fabrics as far to the edges as you can get them. Make sure to slide them in about an inch or two so that they stay put. As you can see, I pinched mine in half at the ends before I slid them in so that they take up a little less space.
Sew the edge closed with a top stitch. I did a double top stitch because I like how it looks:
The last thing I do is stitch one line across the bag where it folds (or basically where you taped your back piece to your flap piece) to create the flap. This just make the bag more stable.
And ta da! A cute, easy and inexpensive messenger bag. It is fully reversible too. Use either side. And it fits my keys, wallet and phone just right:
Here's another one I made:
You could add velcro or a snap to keep it closed if you don't plan to reverse it. Just add it on the flap.
Since this is my first real pattern/tutorial that I have put together, please let me know if you try it and if it makes sense or if any of it is confusing!

The Logo above reminds me of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
1.) Make a pelican logo for the new NBA team.
2.) Suggested colors are red, gold, and navy blue, but feel free to try any color you like.
3.) Pelicans look good with hats! Maybe you should put a hat on it!
^^ This...right here...is $$$$$$$$$$$. If our actual design is anywhere like this, we'll have one of the best, most unique brands in the league. BOOK IT.
Design Brief to see if adding a hat was mentioned. I'm thinking for some reason those designers must think the Pelican looks better with a hat on. There are a lot of nice designs there but I don't know if I'd go with the hat.
I think that making a "fierce" and 2010-ish looking "modern" logo of a Pelican we're defeating the purpose. The charm and novelty of the "Pelicans" brand is that it's goofy and unique and fun. By making the Pelican look all badass you're ruining that novelty and you're no different than the Hawks, Ravens, Seahwaks, ULM Warhawks, Eagles, Falcons, etc. etc. etc. It's a total snoozefest.
If we DO go with Pelicans it simply must be a goofy cartoon bird with a big silly grin on his face. That's the only way it works. These "fierce" looking logos suck and lack any originality.
Updating Seymour D. Fair would be better than any of these generic "Mean Pelican" looks.

The criticism of the name so far is that it sounds "goofy" and "stupid"... and yet, every time somebody sees one of these well-designed logos, the response is typically the same -- surprised and impressed.
You throw a Vlassic pickle stork on a basketball jersey and you're basically guaranteeing your status as laughing stock.
No, but I agree with you. I get the appeal of the goofy bird, but the sleek, angry pelicans are much more of a fitting brand for today's game. I know what Wisconsin Hornet is saying, though. The problem is trying to look too old-style and cartoony will have a negative effect and make the people who thought the name was goofy feel justified in their feeling. These logos make their views less justified, because the logos are more aggressive and don't look nearly as goofy as they suspected.
Man the more I see that Pelicans jersey, the more I love the look and feel of that name. Classic and so sick, old school
Wow there have been new ones added since this morning, as well.
Wow, take the hat out and that is one classic logo.
Mean and aggressive but still cartoony.
I think this may be my favorite. Classy but aggressive, and what a great seal to use on branding. Also it uses the rumored colors.
Why the hell is the Pelican wearing a fedora?
I'm sure the one they pick will be horrible and the last one we wanted
We have to Boycot and put pressure on the Arena League and Voodoo team to give that name up before it's too late, and i'm willing to wait another year on the rebrand if we can get Voodoo.
It's kinda disheartening because NONE of these logos, no matter how much you like them will actually get used.
If Dub is truly working on it, there's still a great amount of hope that the look of the brand will redeem the negativity surrounding the name.
The logos, colors or designs should bring the name to life. Give the fan base something to embrace, brag on and rally around. Invite the fan enthusiasm and participation that come with rebranding the team Voodoo.
You only get to do this once, so lets do it right and not rush to do it, just to say we did it. If the Arena League folds with in the next couple of years, i am going to be sick and angry.

- What are the different types of migraine medications?
- What are the side effects of migraine medications?
- What are the warnings and precautions with migraine medications?
Migraine medications overview
Migraine is a serious, potentially life-threatening neurological disease that affects nearly 32 million Americans, the majority of whom are women. The hallmark symptom of migraine is an escalating, often unbearable, debilitating headache that is commonly described as intense throbbing or pulsating pain in one area of the head. The pain may be accompanied by extreme sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. In some people, migraines are preceded by visual disturbances known as auras that may include flashing lights, zigzag lines, or temporary blindness.
Migraine medications do not cure migraines. Instead, migraine drugs treat the symptoms using one of two approaches. Some migraine drugs relieve symptoms. Other migraine drugs are used to prevent a migraine attack.
Many migraine sufferers rely on simple pain relievers to get through an attack. These range from over-the-counter analgesics like acetaminophen to anti-inflammatories like naproxen or ibuprofen (Motrin) to prescription barbiturate combinations and narcotics. While this type of treatment provides relief, it doesn't target the physiological processes that underlie a migraine attack.
Migraine symptoms occur, in part, because of the dilation of blood vessels in the brain. Until recently, migraine sufferers had few choices when it came to drugs to counteract this effect. But newer migraine drugs known as triptans cause constriction of blood vessels and also bring about a general interruption in the chain of chemical events that leads to a migraine.
At some point, a migraine sufferer may need to move on to preventative therapy. This usually becomes necessary when migraine attacks happen more than once a week and/or abortive medications fail to work more than half the time.
No migraine drugs specifically prevent migraines. But many drugs used for other conditions can help keep migraines at bay. These include certain blood pressure medications as well as some antidepressants, antiseizure drugs, and herbals.
For what conditions are migraine medications used?
Some of the migraine medications used to treat or prevent migraine headaches are also used for other conditions. Antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antihistamines, and narcotic pain relievers are all used in migraine therapy. There are some migraines drugs, though, that are used because they directly target the pain pathways associated with migraine headaches rather than pain pathways in general.
What are the different types of migraine medications?
Migraine medications fall into two major categories. The first contains drugs which abort or stop migraines from progressing once they begin. The earlier these drugs are used in a migraine attack, the better they work. The second category contains drugs which prevent migraines from happening.
Over-the-counter migraine medications used to address pain include analgesics, NSAIDS, and caffeine, including:
- Aspirin
- Naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox, Anaprox DS)
- Ibuprofen
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- Or combinations of these
One drawback to using analgesics and NSAIDs is that taking them daily can make headaches worse due to medication overuse.
Prescription drugs used to provide relief from pain include NSAIDs and narcotics. Like over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs often come in combinations. A barbiturate called butalbital is often used in combination with acetaminophen, and caffeine with or without codeine (a narcotic). Barbiturates are a sedative and may be useful to help people sleep off the pain.
While analgesics, NSAIDs, and narcotics relieve pain, they don't address the underlying physiology -- primarily the dilation of blood vessels in the brain. Two classes of migraine drugs do: the ergotamines and the more recently available triptans.
Ergot alkaloids -- such as ergotamine tartrate (Cafergot) and dihydroergotamine mesylate (D.H.E. 45 Injection, Migranal Nasal Spray) -- are potent drugs that constrict blood vessels. Because nausea is a possible side effect of these migraine drugs, some people take ergotamines in combination with other drugs to prevent nausea.
Triptans target serotonin receptors. These drugs cause constriction of blood vessels and bring about a general interruption in the chain of chemical events that lead to a migraine. Triptans include:
- Almotriptan (Axert)
- Eletriptan (Relpax)
- Frovatriptan (Frova)
- Naratriptan (Amerge)
- Rizatriptan (Maxalt)
- Sumatriptan (Imitrex)
- Zolmitriptan (Zomig)
While specific triptans differ in their ability to prevent a recurrence of migraine headache, they are generally equally effective in their ability to provide relief. Triptans are more migraine-specific than the earlier ergotamines.
Another migraine drug used to abort the pain of a migraine is a combination product containing the vasoconstrictor isometheptene mucate, the sedative dichloralphenazone, and the analgesic acetaminophen (Midrin). The FDA has classified isometheptene mucate as "possibly" effective for migraines, pending further review.
Antihistamines are also used to ease migraine symptoms. These drugs counteract the effect of histamine, a substance that dilates blood vessels and causes an inflammatory response in the body -- the same kinds of response seen during a migraine attack. Antihistamines are broadly grouped into sedating and nonsedating types. An example of a sedating type is diphenhydramine; an example of the nonsedating type is loratadine.
There are no drugs that specifically prevent migraines. But certain blood pressure medications as well as some antidepressants, antiseizure drugs, and herbals have been used for that purpose. It sometimes takes weeks of trial and error to arrive at an optimal dose for these medications and even longer for the drugs to exert their full effect. Preventative migraine medications include:
- Atenolol
- Dutoprol
- Propranolol
- Timolol (Blocadren, Betimol)
Calcium channel blockers
- Diltiazem (Cardizem LA)
- Nimodipine (Nimotop)
- Verapamil (Isoptin, Calan)
Tricyclic antidepressants
- Amitriptyline (Elavil)
- Nortriptyline (Nortriptyline Hydrochloride, Nortriptyline Hydrochloride Oral Solution, Pamelor)
- Imipramine
Other antidepressants
Antiseizure medications

New Television Programs Related to Camp
The American Camp Association® (ACA) is aware of two new programs debuting on television—Camp (NBC) with a story line about a family camp and Summer Camp (USA Network) which is a reality competition series.
ACA appreciates that the entertainment business often exaggerates everyday events in order to capture an audience. Although these shows may bring exposure, albeit possibly unwanted exposure, to the camp experience, please caution parents to understand that these programs are intended to serve as entertainment only. The story lines and the actions depicted in the program are likely not consistent with the values of camps, the camp community, and ACA, in particular.
We encourage you to suggest that your parents research a camp's standards and accreditation status (CampParents.org). ACA accreditation means that the camp has undergone a thorough (up to 290 standards) review of its operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. ACA collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-service agencies to assure that current practices at camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation.
Camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes growth and positive youth development in an environment committed to safety.

I hardly ever visit these pages anymore because the load times are so bloody slow. That's even if they load at all. This site suffers from far and away the worst and most sluggish code on the entire Internet.
Now, me not visiting is something I'm sure you can all live with, but I wonder how many other debates and debaters you're losing due to the interminable, irksome delays when trying to navigate the forums. Even worse is enduring the helpless wait to see whether one's posts will be posted, not posted or posted three times in a row.
It's ironic that one of the major voices for progressive, practical thinking has a site which would have been considered sluggish back when dial-up was new and edgy.

Congratulations on reaching 200 K points and getting your new purple car!
Hello and welcome to GasBuddy. I saw you recently posted prices for the BP on IL-53 & Normantown Rd. in Romeoville. You posted prices of $3.59 - $3.69 and $3.79 for regular, mid and premium. For at least the last 5 years this BP has maintained a $0.20 difference between grades of gas thus making the prices $3.59 - $3.79 and $3.99. We prefer you NOT post prices unless you see the price posted on the station sign or at the pump. Thanks for your cooperation!

Baseball Hammers North Greenville to Open Weekend Home Series
March 21, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Behind a whopping ten strikeouts from sophomore hurler Ethan Greene, the Pfeiffer University baseball team made quick work of visiting North Greenville Friday afternoon. The Falcons had 20 total hits as a team en route to a 14-2 victory and their seventh conference win. Pfeiffer improves to 17-11 overall and 7-3 in Conference Carolinas with the victory, while North Greenville falls to 4-21 on the season and 1-6 in conference play on the loss.
The Falcons got the scoring started in the bottom of the second inning with five runs on five hits. With freshman Dylan Goodman in scoring position, junior Dalton Lindley belted a double to left center field sending Goodman home and putting Pfeiffer on the board first. Lindley finished with three hits and a game-high four RBIs bringing his season total to 17. Three more runs came Pfeiffer's way in the bottom of the sixth inning following a flurry of hits which started when Lindley knocked a double down the left field line. Lindley scored on the very next at-bat when senior Kevin Price dropped a base hit into center field. Seniors Jon Gray and Matt Wade, redshirt-senior Tyler Summers, and junior Anthony Allende all had hits for the home team in the sixth. Pfeiffer notched six more runs to close out the game, picking up two runs on three hits in the seventh and four runs on three hits in the eighth.
Despite the scalding bats of the home team's offense, the real story of the game was Greene's performance on the mound. Greene pitched seven straight frames without allowing a single hit, struck out ten batters giving him a team-leading 46 strikeouts for the season, and only allowed two earned runs. He is now two strikeouts shy of 100 for his collegiate career, and only six strikeouts short of his last season total of 52. Greene improves to 5-1 on the season with the win, and North Greenville's Stewart Hunt was credited with the loss, dropping him to 0-2.
Pfeiffer boasted four separate players with three hits on the afternoon, and three players with three or more RBIs. Wade, Lindley, Price, and junior Cole McGraw all had three hits for the Falcons, while Lindley, McGraw, and Summers were best in the RBI column.
The Falcons return to action tomorrow when they take on North Greenville in the first game of a doubleheader. Game one is set for a noon start time, with the second game of the day slated or a 3:00 p.m. start.

The Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health
In a full-star review Publishers Weekly wrote that Laurie Garrett's book Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (2000) is "on par with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962)... this chilling exploration of the decline of public health should be taken seriously by leaders and policy-makers around the world."
Garrett's Athenaeum lecture, based on material in Betrayal of Trust, will bring the audience into countries around the world - such as India, Zaire, Russia, and the United States - and reveal how numerous health catastrophes are occurring simultaneously and creating a global health disaster.
As a science writer for New York Newsday, Laurie Garrett has traveled the world to report and research the spread of some of the most deadly viruses in existence. She also is a frequent contributor to such publications as The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and Foreign Affairs.
Her skill in engaging and intelligent scientific commentary is obvious. She remains the only person to have won all of the top four awards in American journalism: The Pulitzer Prize, The George Foster Peabody Broadcasting Award, The George C. Polk Award for Best International Reporting, and the Overseas Press Club of America Award. Additionally, her first book, The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance (1994), was named one of the best books of 1994 by The New York Times Book Review.
Garrett graduated with honors in biology from the University of California-Santa Cruz and attended graduate school in the department of Bacteriology and Immunology at UC-Berkeley. Her interest in journalism was sparked when she started reporting on science news at KPFA, a local radio station. She later moved on to become the science correspondent for NPR.
Please join us at the Athenaeum for what promises to be a provocative and compelling discussion on the current state of global health.
Laurie Garrett's Athenaeum lecture is cosponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
The Women in Combat Debate
Should women be able to serve in ground combat units? Absolutely. Should they serve in ground combat units alongside men? Absolutely not. Dr. Anna Simons, author of The Company They Keep: Life Inside the U. S. Army Special Forces (1997), and associate professor of defense analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School, makes the case that it is time to throw out the usual arguments about physical fitness differences between men and women, and instead concentrate on what the presence of women does to cohesion among men.
After earning her Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard University, based on fieldwork conducted in Somalia (1988-89), Simons next found herself at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. There she engaged in a second stint of fieldwork-this time among Special Forces soldiers. Not only did this enable her to observe male bonding more closely than most academics who write about cohesion, but she continues to have a front row seat. Three years ago she left the anthropology department at UCLA to join the Special Operations Academic Group at the Naval Postgraduate School, where she teaches Special Operations officers, and her research continues to focus on cohesion as well as the likely nature of future war.
Simons' perspective is unusual not only because there are very few anthropologists who study modern warfare and modern militaries, but there are fewer still who concentrate on combat units. In general, proponents who favor lifting the combat exclusion laws have spent little time with soldiers in the field.
Thus, it is easy for them to seek gender equity when, perhaps, the more important goal should be maximizing combat effectiveness. So social equity or military effectiveness? - that's just one of the questions driving the women in combat debate.
Dr. Simons received her B.A. in Biological Anthropology from Harvard University. Her other publications include Networks of Dissolution: Somalia Undone (1995). Her Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers: Stress, Disease, and Coping
As a boy in New York City, Dr. Robert M. Sapolsky wanted to live in one of the dioramas at the Museum of Natural History. He wrote fan letters to primatologists, started reading their textbooks at the age of fourteen, and even learned Swahili, all in the hopes that one day he could go to Africa and see his primate brethren. One week after graduating from Harvard in the mid-1970s, he finally achieved his dream: he made a trip to Kenya to study the social behavior of baboons. Ever since, he spends three months out of each year in the Serengeti of East Africa studying wild baboons and what their dominance rank, social behavior, and personality have to do with patterns of stress-related diseases.
According to author Pete Dexter, "Mr. Sapolsky has been to the end of the road and come back with some of the best stories you will ever hear and, in the process, has put his finger on some vast common denominator." Salpolsky will share some of these stories with the Claremont audience in his Athenaeum lecture. Specifically, in a fascinating look at the science of stress, he will present an intriguing reason for stress disorders in humans: people develop such diseases partly because our bodies aren't designed for the constant stresses of a modern-day life-like sitting in daily traffic jams or growing up in poverty. Rather, they seem more well suited for the kind of short-term stress faced by a zebra-like outrunning a lion.
A research associate with the Institute of Primate Research, National Museums of Kenya and a winner of the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, Sapolsky is the author of three books, including Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers: Stress, Disease, and Coping (1993) and A Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons (2001). In addition to his books, his articles have appeared in many publications, including Discover and The New Yorker. His lecture and article topics cover a wide range: stress and from where stress related diseases originate; the biology of individuality; the biology of belief, the biology of memory; diseases such as schizophrenia, depression, aggression, and Alzheimer's; and, of course, baboons.
Robert Sapolsky is the David E. French Lecturer for the 2002 academic year.
A Tribute to Ricardo Quinones
Charles Johnson worked on Dreamer (1993) for more than seven years. Set in Chicago in the summer of 1966, this extraordinary historical novel focuses principally, of course, upon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Quite early in the novel, however, Johnson introduces one Chaym Smith, a perfect body double and spiritual alter-ego of Dr. King. Of King's and Smith's relationship, Dennis McFarland writes in his The New York Times review article that Johnson created the doppelganger "in order to explore the soul of inequality and some of the unpleasant ways in which the world divides those favored by God, those not so favored (the `Abelites,' . . . and the `Cainites,' . . .). As a journey Dreamer. . . hold[s] up a mirror in which the interrelatedness of these apparent opposites can be viewed." Johnson attests that what enabled him to flesh out the character of Chaym Smith-and thereby realize and render most forcefully and truthfully the Cain/Abel dichotomy-was Ricardo Quinones's The Changes of Cain: Violence and the Lost Brother in Cain and Abel Literature (1991), which Johnson calls "scholarship at its finest."
In the nearly forty years since Ricardo Quinones first arrived at CMC, he has earned an international reputation in comparative literature-especially as a critic of Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, and writers of the Italian Renaissance; and as a Dante scholar with few peers ("the premiere Dantiste in North America," as the editor of Lectura Dantis described Dr. Quinones). His commanding classroom presence, humor, and accessibilty made him the first winner of the Huntoon Award for Outstanding Teaching. As teacher, scholar, and founding director of the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, Quinones's influence on the cultural and intellectual life of the College and community has been profound and all encompassing.
When Charles Johnson, who will deliver the keynote address at this tribute to Dr. Quinones, captured the National Book Award for his novel Middle Passage (1988), he became the first African American male to receive such formal recognition since Ralph Ellison some forty years earlier. Often described as literary and intellectual heir to Ellison, Richard Wright, and John Gardner (under whose tutelage he wrote his first novel, Faith and the Good Thing (1974)), Johnson has always brought to his fiction, essays, and criticism the kind of preparedness, expansiveness of view, and devotion to craft characteristic of, and essential to, an artist of the highest order. Soulcatcher and Other Stories, published in 2001, is the most recent Johnson's many books, which include four novels, two collections of short stories, two collections of comic art, and two works of aesthetics and criticism (Being and Race: Black Writing Since 1970 (1988) and I Call Myself an Artist: Writing By and About Charles Johnson (1999), edited by Rudolf Byrd).
The Arab Jihad in Afghanistan: Pictures From an Occupation
Imagine a collection of 100,000 photographs, 3,000 hours of video and 1,600 audiotapes documenting the recent history of Afghanistan. But don't just imagine-join the Athenaeum for an inside look into this archive, when Williams College Afghan Media Project director David Edwards will share pictures and stories from Afghanistan. A man who became an expert about Afghanistan long before September 11th, Edwards oversees efforts to preserve one of the most extensive collections of visual and audio records from Afghanistan. In his Athenaeum lecture, Edwards will also consider the failure of the Arab Afghans to mobilize a base of support among Afghans for their objective of global jihad.
Seeking to combat decreasing coverage of Afghanistan in the late 1980s, the Pakistan-based Afghan Media Resource Center (AMRC) facilitated trips from 1987 to 1995 to Afghanistan for journalists, cameramen, video crews, and photographers. These photos, television reports, and audiotapes from remote regions (some of which required travel of up to a month to reach) were dispatched to media outlets including the BBC, CNN, and Time. Edwards, in recognizing the importance of the AMRC archive-as well as the danger posed to the archive by Pakistan's hot and dusty climate-is working to digitalize and preserve the collection.
Edwards is professor and departmental chair of Anthropology at Williams College. He has published articles on religious ideology in Afghanistan (again, long before most of the rest of us thought to take notice). His book, Before Taliban: Genealogies of the Afghan Jihad (1998), is from the University of California Press.
Professor Edwards delivers the fourth annual L. J. Kutten Lecture on Philosophy and Religion, made possible through the generosity of CMC alumnus L. J. Kutten '74.
Can Juries Differentiate Between Good Science and Bad Science?
The stakes can be life or death. Are our juries acting prudently? The United States judicial system assumes that jurors are able to critically analyze testimonies when forming their decisions. But when psychological expert testimony is made in cases that may or may not bear the death penalty, do jurors effectively differentiate between strong expert evidence and more subjective clinical opinion?
While our justice system assumes this competency on the part of juries, CMC Psychology Professor Daniel Krauss believes otherwise. In an article in the June 2001 issue of Psychology, Public Policy, & Law, he argues that jurors typically are more affected by clinical opinion expert testimony than more scientifically sound testimony.
Krauss joined CMC in the summer of 2000 and teaches Forensic, Abnormal, and General Psychology. The Supreme Court of the United States recently named him to one of four Fellowships for the coming year. The Fellowship places "exceptionally talented" individuals in the administration of the federal judiciary; Krauss will serve in the United States Sentencing Commission, an independent agency that establishes sentencing guidelines.
Currently, Krauss is Legal Editor of the American Psychology - Law Society Newsletter, and is member of associations in the fields of psychology and law. Krauss completed his Ph.D. in a joint major in clinical and psychology, policy, and law at the University of Arizona. He earlier graduated with honors both from the school's College of Law and from Johns Hopkins University with an undergraduate degree in psychology.
Krauss clearly has a strong foundation and expertise in the interplay of psychology and law. Please join the Athenaeum for what promises to be an insightful look at the justice system from a man recognized by the Supreme Court itself for his talent.
The lecture by Professor Krauss is part of the Athenaeum series Faculty Ideas in Progress.
Cesar Chavez Commemoration
. . . for any piece of farmworker legislation to be acceptable to the Hispanic Caucus, it must start and end with the protection of farmworkers' basic needs for adequate housing and working conditions.
-Congressman Xavier Becerra, July 28, 1998, to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus
Si se puede (yes we can).
-Cesar Estrada Chavez
Though awards and commemoration are important, Cesar Chavez did not seek recognition for himself. Instead, he fought for what he called "La Causa" - a commitment to improving the plight of the millions of exploited arid vulnerable farrnwarkers, From 1962 to 1993, the year he died, Cesar Chavez worked to instill in the United Farm Workers the principals of nonviolence practiced by Mahatma Gandhi. His leadership and commitment to nonviolence culminated in such important actions as the Delano grape strike and the 340 mile march from Delano to Sacramento in 1966. In 1988, at the age of 61, Chavez conducted his last - and longest-public fast for 36 days, to call attention to farrnworkers and their children stricken by pesticides. Therefore, The Claremont Colleges are honoring this hero who brought dignity to the voiceless men, women, and children laboring in America's croplands.
We are privileged to have with us a leader who has embodied Cesar Chavez's ideals and vision through his lifelong social activism and support of farmworker legislation. Congressman Xavier Becerra's leadership on this front has brought about change and improvement for the lives of farmworkers and their families. It is fitting, therefore, that Congressman Becerra deliver the keynote address for the First State holiday that honors the birthday of Cesar Estrada Chavez.
In 1980 Congressman Becerra earned his Baccalaureate degree in economics from Stanford University. He was awarded a Juris Doctorate from Stanford Law School in 1984. Congressman Becerra is the first in his family to attend college.
Prior to his election to Congress in 1992, Congressman Becerra served one term in the California Legislature. A former Deputy Attorney General with the California Department of Justices he commenced his legal career in 1984 working in a legal services office representing the mentally ill.
The address by Congressman Xavier Becerra is sponsored by the Cesar Chavez Commemoration Committee of The Claremont Colleges.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 22, 2013 – CenterPoint Energy was recently recognized by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), a nonprofit research group based in Washington, D.C., for three of its energy efficiency programs as part of a national review designed to identify America's leading energy efficiency programs. The programs designated as "exemplary" were the company's Custom Rebate Program, its Foodservice Rebate Program, and the Home Energy Squad.
The programs selected for this honor were judged by ACEEE and an expert panel as examples of leading designs and practices, and as models for emulation by other utilities and organizations. "These programs are delivering energy savings that are critical in helping customers reduce their energy costs, plus they make an important environmental contribution by reducing pollution from the use of fossil fuels," said Dan York, Ph.D., director of ACEEE Utilities Program.
Minnesota currently ranks 9th on ACEEE's state energy efficiency scorecard, which considers all aspects of state energy efficiency policies. In all, six programs submitted from Minnesota were awarded "exemplary" honors, three of those being CenterPoint Energy's programs.
"We take pride in providing a strong and balanced energy efficiency portfolio to our customers, and these three programs serve a wide spectrum, including residential, commercial and industrial," said Todd Berreman, manager of Conservation Improvement Program implementation. "Receiving exemplary status across all three market segments is a great accomplishment and reaffirms that we provide excellent programs to all of our customers."

Some people actually believe that a God-Man created the entire universe.
They believe that after this God-Man made humans, he came down to mate with one of the females.
This coupling resulted in a God-Man-human hybrid.
The humans didn't do exactly what this God-Man-thing wanted, so the he tortured and
killed the God-Man-human-hybrid-thing to pay for their shortcomings.
These people also believe that if they believe that, they will get to spend eternity in the company

This medication is used to help prevent varicella virus infection (commonly known as chickenpox). Chickenpox is a common childhood illness, but can cause more serious illnesses in people who have not yet had either chickenpox or this vaccine. Serious (rarely fatal) problems (such as pneumonia and inflammation of the liver or brain) may rarely occur from this infection, and first-time infections in adults may be very severe. It may also cause a very serious brain/liver condition called Reyes syndrome in children or teenagers. If you are infected while pregnant, your unborn infant may be harmed. Vaccination during childhood may help prevent this infection and the problems that can occur.
The virus in this vaccine is alive, but it has been weakened (attenuated) and therefore has a decreased ability to cause illness. It works by helping the body produce immunity (protection) that will prevent you from getting chickenpox, or will lessen the seriousness of the infection. As with any vaccine, it may not fully protect everyone who receives it. People who get chickenpox after getting the vaccine usually have mild cases with fewer blisters, fewer fevers, and faster recoveries.
The vaccine is recommended for children 12 months and older and adults who have not had chickenpox or received a varicella vaccination before.
Read the Vaccine Information Statement available from your health care provider before receiving the vaccine. If you have any questions, ask your health care provider.
This vaccine is usually given by injection under the skin by a health care professional.
Depending on the brand, children aged 12 months to 12 years usually receive 1 or 2 doses. Teenagers 13 years and older and adults usually receive 2 doses 4 to 8 weeks apart. Closely follow the vaccination schedule provided by the doctor.
Pain/redness/bruising/swelling at the injection site, fever, or mild chickenpox-like rash may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. However, report all side effects to the doctor.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Contact your doctor for medical advice about side effects. The following numbers do not provide medical advice, but in the US, you may report side effects to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) at 1-800-822-7967. In Canada, you may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before receiving varicella virus vaccine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as neomycin, gelatin), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: illness with a high fever over 101 degrees F (38 degrees C), immune system problems (such as due to HIV infection, cancer treatment, organ transplant), decreased immune function from other medications (see also Drug Interactions), untreated tuberculosis (TB) infection.
There is a small risk that you may expose others to infection with chickenpox for up to 6 weeks after you have been vaccinated. If you develop a rash after getting the vaccine, you should avoid being in the same room with people with immune system problems, pregnant women who have not had chickenpox, children/partners of mothers who have not had chickenpox, and newborn babies born at less than 28 weeks of pregnancy until the rash has dried and crusted over.
This medication must not be used during pregnancy. There is some risk that it may harm an unborn baby. If you have been vaccinated with varicella virus vaccine, you should not become pregnant for at least 3 months after the vaccination. Discuss the possible risks with your doctor.
It is unknown if the varicella virus in this vaccine passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some of the products that may interact with this drug include: chemotherapy, corticosteroids (such as prednisone, dexamethasone), drugs that lower the immune system (such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate), certain antiviral drugs (such as acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir).
All children and teenagers should avoid aspirin or aspirin-like medications (such as salsalate) for 6 weeks after vaccination.
Postpone vaccination with varicella vaccine for at least 5 months if you have received a blood transfusion or other blood products (such as immune globulin, varicella zoster immune globulin). You may not develop enough antibodies to protect you from infection.
Other vaccines may be given at the same time as this vaccine, but they should be given with separate syringes and at different injection sites.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Keep vaccine records for yourself and all of your children, and after your children are grown, give the records to them and their doctors. This will prevent unnecessary re-vaccinations.
It is important that you receive each vaccination as scheduled. Be sure to ask when each dose should be received and make a note on a calendar to help you remember. If you miss an appointment, contact the doctor for advice.
Different brands of this medication have different storage needs. Check the product package for instructions on how to store your brand, or ask your pharmacist. Protect from light. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Aggressive owls are making people their prey in local state parks, prompting rangers to close off areas to the public for safety.
Last Saturday, Celina Calado was walking down Bridle Trail near Kirkland when she was attacked without warning.
It felt like a sharp tearing, stinging, feeling in the back, said Calado.
It was a Barred Owl.
He grabbed both sides of my pony tail with his claw, she said.
The owl eventually let go and flew up in a tree. Calado was bleeding and went to the emergency room for treatment for scratches on her head.
With a handful of incidents so far, Park Ranger Mary Welborn says the attacks are concerning visitors.
People have been clawed enough to draw blood, said Welborn.
With at least six attacks, parts of Soaring Eagle Park in Sammamish are now closed to the public.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife believes the owls responsible are young ones that have just left their mother s nest and are territorial about their new nesting spot. People appear as threats.
Rangers say owls are attracted to women s pony tails or to those wearing headphones.
News of the attacks has joggers like Joann Sittig extra cautious.
I ll probably be looking at the trees, upwards and around me, she said.
Although she was horrified, Calado says it s the first time she saw an owl that close.
He was gorgeous, but maybe next time he can stay in his tree, said Calado.
The Department of Natural Resources and Parks believes a long summer allowed a second round of egg laying, which hatched more owls.
Park closures are expected to last through the month.

Faced with increasingly stringent benchmarks—the government's new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards require a passenger vehicle fleet that averages 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025—carmakers are taking another approach to achieving better fuel mileage: shaving weight off vehicles by experimenting with lighter materials.Automobiles have long been made from steel—a very strong, but heavy material. Now manufacturers are experimenting with new materials—ranging from aluminum to carbon fiber composites to metal alloys—to help companies reach the ambitious fuel efficiency standards."They don't have to make these changes immediately, but there's much more a sense of urgency now," says Bruce Belzowski, research scientist at University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute.

On Youtube, the music video for Thrift Shop has been played more than 65 million times. (warning - video includes some profanity)
That marks the first time a Seattle artist had a song go number one since Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby Got Back in 1992.

KENT, Ohio – The Miami University football team's offense showed encouraging signs in the first half, but struggled during the second half of a 24-6 loss at Kent State on Wednesday night.
Wednesday night's loss drops the RedHawks to 0-10 (0-6 Mid-American) while the Golden Flashes move to 3-8 (2-5 MAC).
After KSU picked up a first down on its opening drive, MU took advantage of a holding penalty and forced the punt unit to take the field. Not wanting to give the ball up, the Golden Flashes called for a fake, but Anthony Horning's rush was stopped for a loss at their own 29 yard line. The RedHawks took advantage of the excellent field position, driving to the 11-yard line before a sack forced a field goal. Kaleb Patterson was true from 33 yards out to put MU up 3-0, its first lead since grabbing a 10-7 lead at Massachusetts on Oct. 12.
That lead was short lived as the Golden Flashes drove 61 yards in nine plays. Fifty-nine of those yards were through the air and KSU converted a 3rd and 12 at the MU 15 to keep the drive alive. On the next play, Trayion Durham finished the drive with a 2-yard touchdown rush to put the Golden Flashes up 7-3 late in the first quarter.
MU's next two drives were promising, but stalled in KSU territory both times. The RedHawks were stopped on 3rd-and-3 at the Golden Flashes' 41 and punted after a false start penalty occurred when they tried to go for it on fourth down. After forcing a KSU punt, MU moved into the red zone to the 18 yard line. Austin Gearing had a strong 14-yard run to give the RedHawks their second red zone trip, but a fumble on the next play was recovered by the Golden Flashes.
On the ensuing possession, KSU made it a two-score game by going 82 yards on seven plays. Colin Reardon's one-yard touchdown rush capped the drive, which was highlighted by Anthony Meray's 45-yard rush. The score put the Red and White down 14-3 with 5:59 left in the half.
The Red and White offense once again moved down the field, getting into plus territory for the fourth-straight possession. Drew Kummer's 33-yard pass to Dawan Scott on 3rd-and-7 set the RedHawks up at the Golden Flashes' 21. Spencer Treadwell then rushed for nine yards and caught a three-yard pass to create 1st-and-goal at the KSU nine. MU got no further, but drew to within 14-6 after Patterson's 28-yard field goal capped an 11-play, 64-yard scoring drive. That was all the scoring in the first half as Miami found itself in a one-score game at the break.
A seven-yard rush by Gearing opened MU's opening possession of the second half, but the RedHawks ended up going three plays and out after Kummer was sacked on 3rd-and-5.
Needing a spark, the RedHawks got just that from their defense. KSU moved into MU territory and faced 3rd-and-1 at the RedHawk 29, but back-to-back stops by Kent Kern and Mwanza Wamulumba kept the Golden Flashes from moving any further.
MU's offense couldn't get moving, gaining only one total first down and punting on each of its next two possessions. On its third possession of the half, KSU opened up a 15-point lead on a 3-play, 53-yard touchdown drive, all on rushes. Dri Archer had 37 of those yards, including a 20-yard touchdown run that put the Golden Flashes up 21-6 with 1:27 left in the third quarter. That play and the extra point represented the only scoring in the third quarter.
KSU forced MU to punt two more times and then chewed 5:04 off the clock with a 10-play, 66-yard drive that ended in an Anthony Melchiori field goal. The kick extended the Golden Flashes' lead to three scores at 24-6 with 6:32 remaining to finish up the game's scoring.
Gearing led the Red and White with 81 yards rushing, matching his second highest total of the season. His 24 carries were a season high. Dayonne Nunley led all players with career-high tying 11 tackles, including eight solo stops.
The RedHawks return home next Tuesday when they host Buffalo at Yager Stadium. Opening kickoff is at 8 p.m.

One of the current controversies in the tank world are tanking cooldowns. These are abilities which greatly reduce the amount of damage taken for a few seconds. Though originally created as emergency measures--Shield Wall originally had a 30 minute cooldown--Death Knights were given cooldowns that could be used multiple times a fight. This meant that if a fight had a predictable spike in damage, the Death Knight could line up their cooldown to mitigate that spike, making them much easier to heal.
Since spike damage is generally what kills tanks, this made Death Knights the tank of choice on such fights. The other tanks had their cooldowns improved to match the Death Knight. However, the Death Knight still has the best cooldowns, and is often considered the best tank because of this. Paladin tanks, who only have one cooldown, are considered the worst.
However, two healer classes, Priests and Paladins, also have cooldowns that they can use to mitigate spike damage. Holy Priests have Guardian Spirit, Disc Priests have Pain Suppression, and Paladins have Hand of Sacrifice (coupled with Divine Shield to keep the paladin from dying). Instead of just relying on tank cooldowns, you can set up a cooldown rotation with your paladins and priests to help mitigate damage.
Personally, I find cooldown rotations a lot of fun as a healer. It gives you a chance to coordinate with your fellow healers. It adds a little extra spice to healing, and saving a tank from death with a well-timed use of a spell which is not spammed is fun. Honestly, that's the most fun as a healer, using a spell at precisely the right time to save someone.
Tanks have tanking rotations, where they trade-off mobs. DPS have interrupt rotations, as they trade-off interrupting spells. I think adding cooldown rotations for healers would add a little extra element to the game. It's something more than healing spam, and requires us to work together a bit more.
I think Resto Druids and Resto Shamans should each get a cooldown (like Hand of Sacrifice, etc.) so they too can join in the fun. Then I think that the number of cooldowns the tanks have should be reduced, or the cooldown timers greatly increased so that they go back to being emergency buttons. That should reduce the disparity in tanks, while improving the gameplay for healers.

I love our cooldowns. Hell, I'm Holy / Prot specifically so I can get Divine Guardian. I even get to credit that spell for saving a wipe on Assembly of Iron last week :).
I may not be able to out heal the Druids and Priests in my raids, but I CAN provide a raid-wide damage reduction that no one else can.
As a sidenote - you can Hand of Sacrifice the adds in the Razuvious fight... I don't recommend it, though. :)

While not necissarly in the same vien as Priest/Paladin healing cooldowns, both shamans and druids have Nature's Swiftness, which can be used to keep up with spike damage from a boss assuming the tank doesn't get 1 shot.
They also have the versatily of being more widely usable, when say, someone other than the tank takes a big chunk of damage. If your not really expecting this damage a priest or paladin wouldn't really be able to apply thier cooldowns in advance to protect them.

The one problem I consistently have with Hand of Sacrifice/bubble is the range. HoS only has a 30 yard range, and I'm frequently at 40 yards. I'm getting better at planning for Sacrifice use, now I just need to remember to pre-position myself.

As far as encounters go that require that type of management... i believe this was how sarth 3d was. Especially with the drake that amplified fire damage you needed multiple cool downs both from the tank and externally from the healers to get through the encounter.

Well I don't really want no differences between tanks. Right now paladins are best by some measures (least damage taken, much less damage on multi-tanking, etc) and DK's are best by others(better cooldowns, most health).

Thought provoking, and I think the healer cooldowns are often forgotten by raid leaders too.

Granted they are not spec specific, but druids and shaman also have BR/ankh.

Don't fully agree. At current point I see healing, especially on very mobile (Hodir, Mimiron) encounters for group healers that also have GCD to save the tank extremely challenging. A paladin spams on one target most of the time a holy priest has to make sure he gives his cooldown the right time, moving into the right spot, managing mana and having 25 man in view (even while assiging certain groups to main watch). If you feel your left out of the fun in healing, play a holy priest. Fun starts when you get 1 hitted by random trash mobs that barely leaves a scratch on plate all the time watching out for the group or when a pally can't make it due to their throughput.

Bruins' Jenkins has big day at districts
Stupey, Sosinsky lead Kamiak to team title at 4A district meet
Genna Martin / The Herald
Cascade's AJ Jenkins competes in the 100 yard butterfly event at the Wesco 4A district championships meet on Saturday at Kamiak High School. Jenkins came in first at 50.38 seconds.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Kamiak's John Stupey competes in the 500 yard freestyle race at the Wesco 4A district championships meet on Saturday at Kamiak High School. Stupey took first in the event .
The Bruins' senior won both of his individual events, the 200-yard freestyle and the 100 butterfly, with personal records and his 100 butterfly time was good enough for All-American consideration.
Jenkins finished the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:42.83, over four seconds better than his previous best time of the year and the 100 butterfly in 50.38, over a second better than his previous best on the year. Jenkins' time in the 100 butterfly was also a district meet record.
"This is just a small step toward what I'm planning on doing at state," Jenkins said.
Jenkins, who is headed to Wright State University to swim after graduation, is peaking at the time.
"It tells us that we are at the right place in the season," Cascade coach Eric Smith said. "He's a really strong kid and he's a really competitive kid so you could put him in any race and he's going to work his best.
"He's racing himself right now."
Outside of Kamiak, Jackson's Conner McGinnis also had a good day. Like Jenkins, McGinnis won both of his individual events, the 50 freestyle in 22.33 and the 100 backstroke in 52.83. Both times were season bests for McGinnis and the 100 backstroke was less than half a second short of the district meet record.
"(Having season best times) is really important to me because it helps me with a good state of confidence and a good mindset going into training during this next week," McGinnis said. "It just really helps out my mental state."
The Knights won their sixth consecutive team district championship, finishing with 663.50 points, over 200 points better than the second place team Lake Stevens. Kamiak also won all three relay events and had four individual winners.
Two of those four individual wins belonged to John Stupey, who swept his two events, the 200 individual medley (1:53.98) and the 500 freestyle (4:45.03). Stupey's time in the 200 IM was a district meet record.
"I think John was a little more relaxed today," Kamiak coach Chris Erickson said. "He still got the meet record and he still did a nice job, but his focus is on next week."
Sosinsky won the 100 breaststroke in 57.48, exactly two seconds better than any of his other times this season and good enough for All-American consideration.
"I thought Liam had two really good swims," Erickson said. "They were close to his state times from last year a week before (state). So he's ahead of where he was last year."
Erickson said many of the swimmers had already qualified for state throughout the season and the district meet is more of a tune up for next week's state championships.
"For most of the kids here that already made state, their focus is on next week," he said. "With that in consideration, it was a great meet."

The last few years, the sports world, has become its own Hollywood.
Apologies for off-the-field behavior are getting more attention than the sports themselves.
From a coach flicking the bird at the Pro-bowl, to the world's biggest athlete admitting to sex affairs with hookers and prostitutes. These mishaps have been flooding media headlines everywhere.
A single story, breaking numbers for most consistent days on a front cover of the New York Post is now a sports record also.
The greatest press conference to date got televised on more channels than the Presidents State of the Union Address.
This is so telling to a greater extent than PED's or smoking weed. The priorities of not just the United States, but of the world today is making the sports world a joke.
The pretext of athletes not being celebrities has never been connected, because just as movie stars, you bring pleasure to millions.
For athletes it's just going to work. The problem is that industry requires individuals to not take advantage of it's popularity and temptations, but this does not only fall on the athlete's shoulders.
As fans, cheering at contrivance is our responsibility to assist in victories, but this needs to stay there. It is time to stop pointing the finger at athletes without taking some of the blame.
Fans are no better for taking pictures of an individual with only selfish purposes of making money, or admitting to affairs in order to get an Extra correspondent job.
I am a sports fan and I apologize for my fellow fans behaviors.
To my peers, true sports fans do not get a bye off-the-field because of what we are not, so stop embarrassing the rest of us.

Step to have user preferences available in your application(s):
1) Implement the Application interface for each "module" of your web-app. These implementations will define a name(getName) and an object defining the parameters you want users to be able to customize: the newPreferencesModel should return a new instance of the model object which will be used to store the user's preferences; the getPreferencesInfo() method should return an array of PreferenceInfo implementations, each describing every item that the user will be able to customize. (I guess this can be related to the javabean/BeanInfo model)
So, on one side you have your preferences model object, one the other, you have their definitions. This is currently only feasible through code, since I'm not a big fan of config files: there are always too many, they are a pain to maintain, and they often end up being as verbose as plain code; however, if someone comes up with good ideas in this area, I'd be happy to include the contributions.
As the interface says, PreferenceInfo describe each item the user can customize, by giving it
- a name : getKeyName()
- possible multiple values : this is currently only used when using a widget which allows the selection of one or more values in a list, but not used to validate the user's input (this should be implemented, though)
- a widget : getPreferenceWidget. This is an enum.
There a defaut implementation, which should fulfill most needs: SimplePreferenceInfo.
The keyName of the PreferenceInfo has two usages : it must correspond to the model's property which it defines, and it is used in the UI to display the name of the property, by using it as the key in the translation system.
Alright, now we have covered the "Application" concept, let's move on:
2) Register all your application implementations in your IOC container
3) Register ApplicationsProvider in your IOC container (currently there is only a CDI-based implementation)
Voilà, you're done. In your main decorator or template, you'll now just need to provide a link to the preferences.action within the namespace you configured it.
Internationalization (i18n)
Before reading this, make sure you know about standard java i18n, because we won't recap. In case you don't, >>> tutorial to i18n <<<
In the webwork based implementation, we obviously use ww's i18n system. Of course we had to trick it a bit: usually, translation chains are retrieved based on the current action's class. Instead of that, we wanted to use the Application classes as base location... Ok, what does this all mean? Well, all in all, it's very easy: if you want i18n, just provide properties files named like your Application implementations are. Alright, a sample?
// here use the snippet macro to include FirstSampleApp
then all you'll need is to define the translations accordingly: you should have a directory structure similar to this:
What keys should I use, you'll ask. Easy:
// here use the snippet macro to include FirstSampleApp.properties
- provide a translation for your app's name: (the key is the String returned by the getName() method of your Application implementation)
- the other keys are those returned by each PropertyInfo's getKeyName() method.
Tips, ideas, ...
I usually have a "global" implementation for generic or global parameters like language, skin choice, ...
This will currently only work if you use swaf-seraph, or if you provide your own implementation of UserPropertyHelper.

When a state Dept. of Transportation markets an app, presumably to help travelers find where they're going, it causes me to cringe. That's because it only takes that single moment to glance at your smart phone with the purest of intentions and plow into someone in a nearby vehicle delivering unspeakable disaster.Perhaps the Missouri DOT has faith that motorists in their state are somehow more prudent than most. Maybe that's why MoDOT has upgraded its free iPhone and Android Traveler Information app so motorists can get road condition information faster and easier; and hopefully, without adding to road fatalities along the way.The upgrade addresses feedback from users on the original Traveler Information app MoDOT launched...
