continued I would build bigger and better forts to save the green plastic men, but at the same time, I would find bigger bombs to drop.
"America" is my favorite word of all time, just the way it looks and sounds and what it stands for.
America gave us electricity, the light, the car, the plane, the radio, the television and the computer. America freed the slaves and saved the world from Hitler.
America gave us baseball, Disneyland and Humphrey Bogart. It gave us Sinatra, Springsteen and Elvis. America gave us Abbot and Costello. America has been very good to us, but I wish I couldn't see both sides of it.
In fact, we aren't as free as we think we are. We aren't always the good guys. We don't always do the right thing.
And the word "America" around the world today may be as distasteful to some as what the word "Hitler" meant to us years ago. Of course, there is no comparison. We aren't Germany taking over the world, but innocent children in foreign lands could be taught that we are.
If so, who's to stop them from hating us?
There needs to be an effort to put back that shine to the most beautiful word of all, America.
We aren't a certain president or party or religion or color.
We are a people. We can't just isolate ourselves. We are the most powerful country of all time, but we share something bigger than us with every other human being that ever lived.
We share the planet. We are the self-proclaimed stewards of this planet and we can't let our children down.
We must keep on building, one block at a time, to stay ahead of the inevitable destruction. We need bigger and better forts to gather more of the world inside.
We must teach the world freedom and share it with them. Stop slave labor. End third world poverty. Diminish pollution. These may not be profitable endeavors. It's just the right thing to do.
I know this and you know this.
And there is nothing better than knowing something and being right about it.
Sometimes, you just have to get off the fence.

Background: As preterm and term infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) undergo multiple stressful/painful procedures, research is required that addresses chronic stress. Objectives: To determine whether (a) hair cortisol levels differed between term and preterm infants exposed to stress in the NICU and (b) an association exists between hair cortisol levels and severity of illness or indicators of acute stress. Methods: Hair cortisol levels were determined using the ELISA method (solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay, Alpco Diagnostics, Windham, N.H., USA) in 60 infants >25 weeks gestational age at birth. Results: No significant differences were found between the hair cortisol levels of term infants compared to preterm infants in the NICU. When compared to a group of healthy term infants, hospitalized infants had significantly higher hair cortisol levels (t (76) = 2.755, p = 0.004). A subgroup analysis of the term NICU infants showed a statistically significant association between total number of ventilator days and hair cortisol levels. For every extra day on the ventilator, hair cortisol levels increased on average by 0.2 nmol/g (p = 0.03). 21% of the variance in hair cortisol levels was explained by the total number of days on the ventilator. Conclusions: Hair cortisol is influenced by days of ventilation in NICU term infants. This is a potentially valid outcome for chronic neonatal stress in these infants and warrants further investigation.

However, Mr Aflatoonian stressed that there was still a lot of work to be done before the promise of these early results could be translated into reality. "Embryoid bodies can differentiate into all sorts of tissue types, so we need to choose the cells that are going to develop into PGCs and then work out how we can encourage them to grow into gametes.
"Producing functional gametes is much more difficult, because we have to recreate for the cultured cells the environment of the developing follicle for egg development or the tissue of the testis for sperm. We want to test whether HESCs can differentiate to cells that produce the hormones for sperm and egg development and isolate these as well. What is extraordinary is that the embryoid bodies seem to produce spontaneously the tissue and environment conducive for sperm and egg development in quite a short time in culture."
Speaking before the conference, Prof Moore said: "One of the reasons for doing this research is that it may allow us to investigate the very earliest processes of how a human gamete and gonad (ovary and testis) develops. Many scientists believe that environmental chemical pollutants that mimic the action of hormones (so called endocrine disrupting chemicals) might interfere with human development at this stage and cause congenital abnormalities, infertility and possibly cancer (in particular testicular cancer). By developing suitable tests with embryonic stem cells as they differentiate to germ cells we can investigate the action of these chemicals in the laboratory.
"Ultimately it might be possible to produce sperm and eggs for

Though Aamir Khan took corrective measures against the Aam Aadmi Party's poster that leveraged on his stardom to promote the party, the Election Commission has put on hold the actor's proposed association with it as its national icon.
The Election Commission claims some pending issues that have halted the association before the Lok Sabha polls kick-start.
This development comes even though Aamir has written to the commission disassociating himself from a campaign being run by AAP activists projecting him as a supporter of the party, and clarified that he was not endorsing any particular party for the upcoming elections.
The actor's spokesperson said in a statement: "Aamir Khan from day one has made it clear that he will not be endorsing any particular political party. He is not supporting or campaigning for any political party."
A few days ago, the Election Commission had announced that Aamir Khan would be the 'new face of the Election Commission of India', thereby creating awareness among the citizens before the Lok Sabha elections. Read: Aamir Khan to be part of Election Commission's voter awareness campaign
Apparently, it was brought to Aamir's notice that a social campaign doing the rounds that he was supporting the AAP. Some candidates of the AAP allegedly took to Twitter and used Aamir's image in one of their campaign posters, claiming the 49-year-old Dhoom 3 star was supporting their party.
In view of this, Aamir has written to the EC clarifying that he is not endorsing any particular political party.

The JV boys held on for a hard-fought 44-43 victory Friday night in Asheville. It was the first meeting of the season for these two teams, which played in the NCHE State Championship game back in February (won by the Trailblazers). This one was expected to be a tough battle, and it was. Asheville jumped out to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, thanks to excellent ball movement. But the Stallions settled down and employed some full-court defense, limiting Asheville to just 3 second quarter points. Bradin Lilly provided some much needed offense, scoring 9 of his 13 points in the second quarter, and the Stallions took a 23-18 lead into the locker room. The second half was back and forth, with Asheville's P. Rennard hitting a 3-pointer at the third quarter buzzer to cut the lead to 34-32. Bailey Benham, playing on a sore knee, hit several big shots in the second half to keep his team in front. The score was 42-36, Stallions, with 1:20 to play, when Asheville got back-to-back steals and baskets to cut the lead to 42-40. They had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead, when Brody Madeira stepped in front of pass for a steal, and found Bailey Benham for a much needed lay up with 14 seconds to go. Asheville's Rennard gave his team a chance hitting a running 3-pointer with 5 seconds to go. After an Asheville timeout, Dalton Lankford found Brody Madeira with a long baseball pass down the court, and the Stallions were able to run out the clock. Bailey Benham finished with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 steals. Brent Gambrell and Bradin Lilly each collected 9 rebounds. The victory moved the Stallions to 9-0 on the season. They'll be back in action on December 29th in a tournament in Kernersville, NC.
The JV Stallions improved to 4-0 last Tuesday, with a 74-68 victory at High Point Christian Academy. The Stallions led by 12 at the half, and extended the lead to 17 after 3 quarters. The Cougars of High Point would not go easily though, increasing their pressure defense, and hitting 6-3's in the fourth quarter to close the gap. But the Stallions converted enough free throws down the stretch to hang on for the win. Bailey Benham continued his hot shooting, finishing 11-of-17 from the floor, and posting a season-high 31 points, to go along with 13 rebounds. Bradin Lilly went 3-for-3 behind the arc and finished with his season high of 18 points. Brody Madeira and Travis Cone stuffed the stat sheet, combining for 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 7 steals. The Stallions as a team struggled against the High Point pressure in the fourth quarter, committing several turnovers. However, they were again solid at the foul line, going 17-for-24.
The purpose of the Greater Cabarrus Athletic Association (GCAA) is to provide the home schooled student athletic opportunities within an environment that is both Christian and competitive. We desire to nurture the character of the young men and women entrusted to our program that will allow them to be successful in all future endeavors.
Greater Cabarrus Athletic Association is a non-profit, 501(C)3 organization that relies entirely on the membership of each family and the donations of gracious people outside the GCAA family. GCAA is a member of the larger North Carolina Home Educators Athletic Conference(NCHEAC) and Mid-State Athletic Conference.

Two 16-year-old girls face murder and other charges in relation to the 2011 death of a Hickory cab driver.
Emily Starnes, of Hickory, and Consandra Tyree, of Newton, were arrested Saturday and charged with murder and robbery.
The girls join three men between 18 and 22 years old charged in the death of cabdriver Adam Williams in Hickory last summer.
Starnes and Tyree are in the Catawba County jail.
Williams was stabbed shortly after he arrived to pick up passengers at a Hickory restaurant. At the time of his death, he had about $40 in fares and had driven for Yellow Cab Company for only two months.
I was begining to think the little darlings would get away unscathed. They are just as guilty!

Attack supports.

Now with the ring outs...is choosing attack supports a bad idea?
If they knock your opponent back to you they can't get thrown out of the stage...am i right?

This might be the case, it possibly depends how close you are to the barrier, but more than likely stops ring outs.
Anyone got a spare goat face I can borrow? Cheers buddy.
that is a good question might see less attack support now

While I do think, that the " defensive aupport" of our opponent takes priority as it can intervene with our attack support knockback and thus help in sort of diminishing the supports ...
I dOn't think they'd add attack support and let it intervene with the ring out,possibly "help", cause that would be counterproductive to introduce this "feature" if mechanics that should "aid" you disable this O.o
Saito6689 posted...
Don't know if someone mentioned this before but...
You are correct. Great point. However if your opponent gets too close to the edge of the stage, your attack support won't jump in. So you can still get a ring out if they stay at the edge of the map. It looks like map position will play a much bigger role than in previous games.

DRECP Outreach and Public Involvement
The public participation requirement for the DRECP is based on the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Under NEPA guidelines there is a clear expectation for early outreach, integration of public values into draft plans, and multiple opportunities for review and comment. Although there is a clear expectation related to process and outreach, the NCCPA does not prescribe any particular methods. The DRECP will follow Environmental Justice policies to ensure fair and equitable treatment of people, regardless of race and income level, in the implementation of environmental laws, regulations, and policies related to the DRECP.
Materials developed in support of the DRECP to inform the public, stakeholders and participants are below. Materials developed specifically in support of a public meeting or other event may also be found on the Meetings page of this website.

Goal of Outreach
The goal of the DRECP public involvement and outreach program is to facilitate an open and transparent process and to satisfy the public participation requirements of the Federal Endangered Species Act and the California Natural Community Conservation Planning Act (NCCPA).
Public involvement and outreach activities help to raise awareness; improve mutual understanding; identify issues; build trust; and sustain momentum for the DRECP. Outreach efforts will result in meaningful participation and input by a broad and balanced variety of public and private interests.
The participation and input will help the REAT agencies make informed and better decisions in pursuing conservation activities, while allowing for appropriate development of renewable energy projects.

Dispatchers make a differencePublished 8:17pm Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Dear Editor,
I am writing concerning the Telecommunication Operator recognition week.
I am a retired 32 year law enforcement veteran. All too often, I received credit for a job "well done" when in reality, it was the dispatcher who obtained the who, what, when, where and why before I even showed up at the scene of the crime. Often times, I was able to make an arrest because when I called in a license plate for information, the dispatcher determined that the registered owner was wanted or was subject to search, or kept me safe by notifying me that the person I was contacting had a violent history. All this being done without being asked. The great majority of dispatchers that I had the pleasure to work with were professionals who never got the recognition that they deserved.
A belated thank you to all dispatchers. You do make a difference!
Marty Krauel

Great product
I loved my wedding invitations! Great quality! My only complaint was that a few envelopes did not hold their seal in the mail. This resulted in a couple people not receiving everything in their envelope package of invites. However, the 150 other ones mailed perfectly! We personalized the characters hair and skin color to match us. As well as changed the flower colors to fit our theme. We have received so many compliments. :)
Beautiful and well priced!
We are very happy with the invitations! I highly recommend them!
Awesome Invitation
Everyone at Magnent Street was a pleasure to work with. I even accidently added the wrong type of envelopes to my order and I would have never known the difference, but someone called me and wanted to double check my order to make sure I exactly what I wanted. These particular invitations turned out better than I thought they would and I am so very happy with the outcome. I changed the hair color and the color of the text and added some things on the back of the invite. They perfectly fit my wedding and the quality is great. They shipped fast and came nicely packaged. I would definitely recommend this company and these invites!
Very timely and great assortment
We moved our wedding date up three months. I received my invitations within one week of ordering!
The invitations and RSVP cards turned out wonderful! I also ordered our Save the Dates magnets from here and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them!

A swede
Record: 15-7 5KO
Height: Dunno
Weigh: Dunno
A guy with a braided beard and yellow-dark blue shorts. When you punch him meatballs float around his head.
His signature move would be a flurry of punches where he can hit to the sides as wll, so if you dodge the same way he punches You get hit.
He should also have a move where you try to hit him in thehead and he swiftly dodges to the side and quickly makes a swing.

Bomb attacks in Syrian capital kill 8 people
DAMASCUS, Syria Suicide bombers targeted security compounds in Damascus and a car bomb exploded in a pro-regime district there Sunday, killing at least eight people, the latest in a surge of civil war violence in the capital.
In northern Syria, a car bomb killed 12 soldiers in Aleppo, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists in Syria for information. It had no other details, and the government did not comment.
In neighboring Lebanon, meanwhile, fierce clashes erupted between the Lebanese military and supporters of a hard-line Sunni Muslim cleric, in the latest spillover from Syria. Six Lebanese soldiers were killed, according to the army, which vowed to hit back with an "iron hand."
Heavy fighting with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades in Sidon caused panic in the southern coastal city, which until recently had been largely spared the violence hitting other areas. Many people who were spending the day on the beach hurried home, while others living on high floors came down or fled to safer areas. Gray smoke billowed over parts of the city and residents caught in the fire appealed for help.
The fighting broke out in the predominantly Sunni city after supporters of Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir, a virulent critic of the powerful Shiite militant Hezbollah group, opened fire on an army checkpoint.
The military issued a statement confirming that six soldiers died in the shooting, including three officers. It said the shooting was unprovoked.
Syria's state-run news agency SANA said three suicide bombers blew themselves up while trying to break into the Rukneddine police station in northern Damascus, killing five people and wounding several others. SANA said three would-be suicide bombers also tried to break into the Criminal Security Branch in the southern Bab Mousalla area but were caught by security forces before they could detonate their explosives.
Activists confirmed the death toll.
SANA said a car bomb exploded in Mazzeh 86 district in the capital, killing three people, including a 3-year-old boy. Residents of the district are mostly Alawites, an offshoot Shiite sect that President Bashar Assad's family belongs to. The opposition forces fighting against Assad's regime are mostly Sunni Muslims.
Nobody immediately claimed responsibility for the Damascus explosions, but they bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida-linked groups that have joined forces with rebels fighting to oust Assad.
The attacks in Syria's two largest cities came as government forces pressed an offensive on the outskirts of the capital.
SANA carried a statement by the Interior Ministry saying that the Damascus attacks were a "new escalation by terrorist groups," a term used by the government to refer to the rebels.
More than 93,000 people have been killed in Syrian conflict that started in March 2011 as peaceful protest against Assad's rule. In the past year, the war has taken on sectarian overtones.
The conflict has increasingly spilled across Syria's borders.
The clashes in Sidon centered on the Bilal bin Rabbah Mosque, where al-Assir preaches. The cleric is believed to have hundreds of armed supporters in Sidon who fought back Sunday. Dozens of al-Assir's gunmen also partially shut down the main highway linking south Lebanon with Beirut.

NORTH BAY – It was a proud day for 22 Wing on Nov. 29 as Col. Conrad Namiesniowski presented 34 members with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal.
"I am very impressed with the number of medal recipients we have,î said Namiesnoiwski. ìWe have so many outstanding people here at 22 Wing it was a difficult process to determine who was more deserving. It's a real honour to present these medals on behalf of the Lieutenant Governor and the Queen."
Among the recipients was Major James Burton, who said his medal not only recognized his own efforts "but the efforts of the people I work with."
As part of an intelligence team, Burton supplies information to senior decision-makers "so that they can make the best operational decisions in the defence of Canada," he said.
A 28-year Air Force veteran, Burton is a second generation military man who has just had the pleasure of seeing his daughter start following her own military training in British Columbia.
Burton received his medal for leadership and dedication to the Canadian Forces.
"His sage advice, expert analytical skills and unwavering professionalism provides a shining example for all. Major Burton embodies the ethos mission first, people always," said Cpt. Andrew Baier, who acted as emcee for the event.
Corp. Cynthia Hitchon was awarded her medal for dedication to her community and her efforts to raise funds for those in need and to assist those in distress through her involvement with international and local charity groups.
Corp. Jean-Francois Provost was credited with exceptional dedication to mission accomplishment, selfless commitment to the community and boundless leadership potential.
"This means so much to all of us,î he said. ìThis recognition shows approval for what we do. It will always be on our dress uniforms."
For Warrant Officer Krzysztof Rylski, who was awarded the medal for outstanding leadership and compassion, the presentation marked a milestone in his career. Just the day before, on Nov. 28, he had been presented with the NATO Operation Unified Protector-Libya medal by Brigadier-General Martin Galvin, commander 2, Canadian Air Force Division.
This medal is in recognition of his participation and contribution to the NATO-led operation to protect the people of Libya with the enforcement of an arms embargo and no-fly zone.
"I know my family is proud of me,î Rylski said, îand it feels good to know that my efforts as part of the Canadian team have met with the approval of my chain of command. It's an honour to be recognized."
The commemorative medal is presented to Canadians who have made a significant contribution within their community or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada. By the end of this diamond jubilee year, it is expected that 60,000 Canadians will be recognized and approximately one in every 10 Canadian forces members will be recipients.
In all, 11,000 Diamond Jubilee medals will be presented to Canadians in uniform, the most significant allocation of commemorative medals in the history of Canadian Forces. In a similar presentation in Ottawa, Peter MacKay, minister of National Defence, said he believed it was appropriate to recognize the important work that our military accomplishes.
Of the 22 Wing recipients, Namiesniowski said, "There is so much these people have done, and there are many more out there that go the extra mile for our military community. We are very fortunate to have these recipients as part of our Canadian Forces."

AdroitLogic Announces Seventh Round of ESB Performance Benchmarking
Calls for the submission of enhancements or corrections for inclusion.
Singapore (PRWEB) June 25, 2013
AdroitLogic, developer of the Open Source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) UltraESB, today announced that it will shortly conduct the Seventh round of Open Source ESB Performance Benchmarking within the next 4 to 6 weeks. The Sixth round compared 8 of the leading free and open source ESBs in mid 2012, and released a public EC2 AMI image with the necessary software, configurations and scripts to allow end users to independently re-run the benchmark and verify the results.
The configurations used for each ESB in the Sixth round was hosted on a public code repository, and received several enhancements from external contributors for 3 of the other ESBs. AdroitLogic requests any interested vendors or contributors to directly submit enhancements to configurations via repository Pull Requests. Contributing enhancements will also grant access to interim results or any issues encountered during test runs, so that subsequent updates could be incorporated before the final tests are conducted.
This round will only report results about the ESBs that successfully completes the full performance benchmark. In the near future, AdroitLogic plans to develop a performance benchmark for API management requirements as well, and invites interested parties to collaborate with them on building such a framework.

Alumni, players and kids converged in the first annual Berkshire Badgers basketball camp.
The Berkshire basketball community is one of the more tightly-knit groups of alumni in Geauga County, looking backward to its golden tradition, and forward to its future.
Much of it comes from Matt Janssen, alumni and Berkshire recreation basketball volunteer.
Janssen, whose grandfather and father both coached basketball at Berkshire, has successfully started alumni leagues and tournaments, allowing creaky knees to enjoy the full-court pace of competitive basketball again.
Janssen sat down with new varsity head coach Keith Clapacs at the beginning of this school year to talk how the high school and elementary programs could join hands.
His 9-year-old son, Maxwell, participated in the event.
"We decided to start small," Janssen said. "But all involved shared the same big vision of an annual event to the already great Badger basketball tradition."
The program hosted its first "Past, Present and Future" basketball camp last week, which featured a drills camp for elementary-aged players, instruction from alumni, and, as a main event, a alumni basketball game, where the current varsity team took on legends of the past.
Clapacs thought the turnout was great.
"Especially this early into the basketball season," he said. "We know how much the program means to the community and the alumni, so we certainly owe it to the tradition to bring the basketball family together whenever we can."
Current Athletic Director Brian Hiscox, a Berkshire graduate, also helped with the event. He said the young players look up to varsity players, like the varsity players did when they were young.
"Now they have an opportunity to give back to people who are now in their shoes," Hiscox said.
He added: "To see the energy our coach (Clapacs) has in not only working with our high school team, but working with our community's youth, is really encouraging for our program."
Alumnus Kelly Blair is an assistant at Hiram College. He thought the players enjoyed it.
"Participation at the youth level is crucial for athletic success in a small community like Burton," he said. "Today the basketball program took a step in that direction, and it was great for everyone involved.The opportunity for future Badgers to interact with current and former players was rewarding for all the participants."
Those in attendance offered ideas to turn the event into a fundraiser for the future, Janssen said.
And those that stayed for the Alumni vs. Varsity game saw a treat.
Of course, as is usually the case, experience prevailed, 82-44.

Dash Express
Earlier in the year, the Dash opened up its API to the community, so anyone could register on its site as a developer and write custom Dash apps. Since then, the API has been updated and expanded with some new features, and it still appears to be in active development. Even so, there already seems to be a pretty active developer community springing up in the Dash forums, and quite a few community-developed Dash apps are already available on the site.
I wanted to see how easy it was to develop my own Dash app, so I downloaded the latest edition of the API documentation, registered as a developer on the site, and started with a sample PHP program I found on the forum. Essentially, when you conduct a search with a Dash app, the Dash Express then sends an HTTP GET to a Web service you specify that contains a few variables including the Dash's GPS location and potentially a custom value from a text entry window on the Dash itself. Your Web service replies back with its results formatted in some basic XML (the structure is defined in the API documentation) that the Dash then displays. Here's a sample of the XML output that Dash accepts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <resultSet><serviceId>10114</serviceId><count>1</count> <sort>di</sort> <result><title>Title</title> <point>38.2440154167-122.6531425</point> <description>requestType->search serviceId->10114 point->38.24401541666667 -122.6531425 count->20 offset->0 sort->null signature->ed002f9a2f86013c9affd8d9e1b9f90e </description><address>12000 San Jose Blvd</address><city>Jacksonville</city> <regionCode>FL</regionCode><countryCode>US</countryCode> <postalCode>32223</postalCode></result></resultSet>
After all these years, I still tend to favor Perl for this sort of thing, so the first thing I did was port the sample PHP script to Perl. Once I got that working, I decided to try to write something actually useful. I wasn't ready to dig heavily into sourcing sites like Google Maps for location data, so instead, I decided to write something more basic. I planned to write an application that would take the current mileage as input and then read from a basic CSV file and report back any maintenance due within plus or minus 10,000 miles. The first column in the CSV file has the mileage when the maintenance was due, the second column has a description of the maintenance, and the third column is optional but had a 1 or 0 depending on whether the task was completed. Here's some sample lines from the file:
151000,Change Oil,1 156000,Change Oil and Filter,1 161000,Change Oil 160000,Replace Tires 180000,Replace Coolant 160000,Replace Air Filter
Listing 1 shows the script that reads from the file and outputs the XML for the Dash.
Listing 1. The Script
#!/usr/bin/perl use CGI qw(:standard); my $infile = 'maintenance.txt'; my $mileage_range = "10000"; # Only show entries within this range if(param()) { $requestType = param("requestType"); $serviceId = param("serviceId"); $point = param("point"); $count = param("count"); $offset = param("offset"); $sort = param("sort"); $signature = param("signature"); $mileage = param("q"); my %hash; my $items = 0; parse_infile($infile, \%hash); foreach (sort keys %hash){ if(abs($_ - $mileage) < $mileage_range){ next if($hash{$_}{'c'} == 1); $delta = $_ - $mileage; if($delta >= 0){ $title = "$_ - $hash{$_}{'desc'}"; $desc = "<![CDATA[In $delta ↪miles:
$hash{$_}{'desc'}]]>"; } else { $title = "PAST DUE: $hash{$_}{'desc'}"; $desc = "<![CDATA[ ↪" . abs($delta) . " miles PAST DUE ↪:
$hash{$_}{'desc'}]]>"; } $output .= output_result($title, $desc); $items++; } } print header('text/xml'); print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' . "\n<resultSet>" . "<serviceId>$serviceId</serviceId>" . "<count>$items</count>"; print $output; print '</resultSet>'; exit; } sub output_result { my $title = shift; my $desc = shift; my $output; $output = "\n<result>" . "<title>$title</title>" . "<description>$desc</description>" . '</result>'; return $output; } sub parse_infile { my $infile = shift; my $href = shift; my ($mileage, $desc, $completed); open INFILE, $infile or die "Can't open $infile: $!\n"; while(<INFILE>){ chomp; $mileage = $desc = $completed = ""; ($mileage, $desc, $completed) = split ',', $_; $$href{$mileage}{'desc'} = $desc; $$href{$mileage}{'c'} = $completed; } close INFILE; }
It's pretty basic, but it works. The whole process from testing the PHP script to writing the final application took only about two hours. Once you write the program, you can create a new Dash app instance via an interface on the my.dash.net site and add it to your saved searches. You also can choose to keep the program to yourself, or you can make it public so any Dash user can use it.
The ease of developing applications for the Dash is a definite plus for me. There are still some limitations in its API (for instance, there is only one text box available for user entry at the time of this writing), but the API still appears to be under heavy development and already has had feature updates. Even as it is, if you have some imagination and some programming ability, you can write some pretty useful applications.
Kyle Rankin is a director of engineering operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, the author of a number of books including DevOps Troubleshooting and The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and is a columnist for Linux Journal.
Unfortunately, Dash just got out of the hardware biz.
There are still other Linux-based GPS devices out there although none that are quite as hackable.

NEW ORLEANS -- Twelve is a number that we use a lot in everyday life. Most people buy eggs in twelves. There are 12 people on a jury. We could go on and on.
But Wednesday, some thought 12 would be lucky -- after all, the date was 12/12/12.
On any given Sunday, 12 can be a really big number for New Orleans, with Saints star wide receiver Marques Colston proudly wearing the number on his jersey.
But on this particular Wednesday, 12 is all the rage on the 12th month, on the 12th day of the year 2012.
'I thought maybe it might be her favorite number. You know, she came a month early, maybe she just liked the number 12. We just don't know yet,' said Kelly Gordon, who gave birth to a baby girl at East Jefferson General Hospital Wednesday morning.
Twelve will always have special meaning for the Gordons, with 12/12/12 being the day Emma Paige came into the world.
'Hopefully no one will forget her birthday now,' proud new father, Jeff Gordon, said.
12/12/12 is now a birthday Kyron Summers will never forget. His mom and the administrators at St. Augustine school surprised him Wednesday.
'He asked if I was gonna bring cupcakes. I said no, I'm not bringing cupcakes or anything. It's not even in the budget this year,' his mother, Chervonda Fortenberry, said.
Katie Moore asked, 'What was his reaction?'
Fortenberry replied, 'He looked like he wanted to cry.'
Then, 12 seniors at the school started to make their way to Summers' sixth grade classroom to surprise him. With party horns blaring, and party hats on their heads, they burst into the classroom clapping, and began singing happy birthday to the 12-year-old.
'It's 12/12/12 at 12/12 with 12 12th graders singing happy birthday to the 12-year-old,' said Father Tony Ricard, campus minister at St. Augustine High School.
In Louisiana, there are a lot of good things that come in twelves.
'Oysters always come in dozens,' said Owner of Drago's Seafood Restaurant, Tommy Cvitanovich.
The oyster guru, of course, added that we should all get a dozen raw, a dozen fried, and a dozen charbroiled.
Add to that twelve Barq's root beers and a dozen Daddy's Doughnuts and heck, we could easily come up with twelve great things in New Orleans that come in twelves, but well leave that to the 12 yats of Christmas or maybe keep it for our next 12 for the Road.
Many people in the metro area decided to get married today. It's the last triple number date this century.

The Pageantry Of Politics
Like pageants, elections are carefully orchestrated displays of candidates' poise and ability to connect with audiences. I think we can all agree that what this country's most important politicians are truly missing more than anything is the dramatic styling and beautiful makeup the glitz pageant competitors (as seen on such fine programming as Toddlers & Tiaras) have perfected over the years. Thanks to the power of retouching we can imagine how that would look.

Brian and Mary Ellen Rose, owners of BMR Acres have taken their alpaca farm to the next level. The two recently opened a store to sell alpaca products.
"This was all part of our master plan," said Brian Rose. Brian built a 12 by 20 square foot store on the property. He described the store as "quaint." Inside, shoppers will find a variety of products made from 100 percent alpaca fiber. Sweaters, gloves, scarves, hats, blankets, socks, rugs, baby booties, yarn and ready to spin fiber are some of the items for sale. They also sell stuffed animals, finger puppets and swifts. Brian's nephew ties flies for fishing with none other than alpaca fiber, which are sold at the store.
"We can also order unique items for anyone interested," said Mary Ellen Rose.
Brian said they plan to sell kids' farm-related wooden toys in the future.
"They will be high-end wooden toys," he said. "Nobody in the area has that."
Nobody in the area has a store that offers alpaca clothing either, although there are two other alpaca farms in Madison County.
The Roses had a 10-year plan they began working toward about five years ago. They purchased 23 acres of property on Pine Ridge Road in 2003 and started farming. Besides alpacas, the couple raises miniature donkeys, free range chickens, guinea fowl and ducks. They also grow much of their own produce and herbs and recently began raising garlic, which has been passed down from generation to generation from Brian's mother's side of the family. The heirloom garlic is planted directly into the ground and has not been genetically modified in any way.
The Roses grow pumpkins and hope to have five acres of the gourd planted next year to offer visitors a pick-your-own pumpkin patch experience complete with hayride. This year's crop didn't fare so well. Brian said they lost about 95 percent of it to deer. One of the reasons, Mary Ellen said, could be because they grow everything organically. No chemical pesticides or herbicides are used in the growing process. They weren't able to keep the deer away.

Acute anxiety over the relatively minor things in one's life generally functions as a shield against the ones that are more pressing, more difficult, less socially acceptable. The women whom Hughes invited to share his cockpit--most notably Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett in the film) and Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale)--would no doubt report that the aviator never had a problem with expressing lust. (This is probably the time to mention that Scorsese has been married five times.) Anger is another story: Say what you will about Jake LaMotta and his social skills, but the raging bull had a clear outlet for his aggression. (Don't ask me how Jesus Christ or the Dalai Lama fits in here.) Hughes, an aristocrat, was left to wash his hands--again and again--of unclean thoughts and feelings. Whether or not he saw the airplane as a way of getting closer to God, flight suited him better than a fight by far. Still, when challenged by the courts to state his defense of entrepreneurial autonomy (not to be confused with that of a more recent Texas millionaire), the aviator rose to the occasion. On some level the trial actually played to his strengths: The fear of making a rare public appearance--particularly after two plane crashes and years of hair and cuticle growth--inspired the formerly fastidious Hughes to clean up his act once again.
DiCaprio's skin-deep appeal serves him well here, perversely, as it did in Gangs: Scorsese may have worked overtime to curry favor with the young star in trade for the gigantic budgets he believes he needs--but don't think for a moment he isn't fully aware of what his matinee idol conveys (or doesn't convey) and how to use it. Like its subject, The Aviator has damn near everything at its disposal: gorgeous cinematography (combining CGI and old-fashioned grain), at least three or four indelible supporting turns, and a more subjective view of aberrant psychology than in any Scorsese movie since The King of Comedy. Like Hughes's own Hell's Angels, The Aviator is built to peak late with a spectacular action scene--defying not just gravity but narrative chronology in order to push itself closer to the exit. It's the definitive Hughes bio, Marty's Citizen Kane, and probably even an Oscar winner. Better still: It's a privileged tour of Martin Scorsese's inner sanctum and all its riches, all its restrictions. This uncommonly personal epic will likely be the one to get Scorsese to the podium--but not, I hope, to the general audience. The auteur, as much as the aviator, demands his privacy.

There's a lot more going on during a televised baseball game than you realize
Jan 26, 2011, 11:29 AM EDT
Friend of HBT Caryn Rose — of Metsgrrl fame — went to an event called "Art of Televised Baseball" last night, where the main attraction was SNY's Bill Webb talking about how baseball games are produced for TV. Lots of fun insider stuff about the decisions Webb — the director of some 145 Mets games a year — makes in order to get the product you see on the screen. Among them:
- When Keith is laughing and there's nothing going on in the booth that's funny, it's because Webb is saying something to him in his earpiece. He told the story of the time Ralph Kiner sneezed, and Webb said "Gesundheit" and Ralph said "Thank you" on air.
- [Webb] Mentioned both David Wells' perfect game and David Cone's perfect game as two of his most memorable ones. Someone then asked how he changed his coverage during a perfect game and he first said that he didn't, but that he made sure that low 3rd, low 1st and CF cameras were always covering the pitcher so that if he blew it, the pitcher would be facing the camera.
It's so easy to let a game wash over you when you watch it on TV. Then you realize that, as you're sitting there, some guy in a production truck is changing the camera angles, putting up graphics and otherwise barking out orders every five or six seconds for three hours so that you can get your fix.
Good stuff. Tons and tons more of Webb's observations are passed along. Nice writeup from Caryn. Check it out.

Kiner is God. And yes, I'd put him alongside Clapton. While I'd rather listen to Clapton play Mainline Florida than Kiner, I'd rather hear Kiner call a Mets game than Clapton. Guy's a classic.
- sdelmonte - Jan 26, 2011 at 11:53 AM
Webb is one of those things that makes being a Mets fan a delight. Win or lose, good game or bad, he does an amazing job and sets the tone for the broadcasters. It's also really quite amazing that he's kept the job despite the Mets changing broadcast outlets more than once.
I wish I had known about this, but as someone on Metsgrrl's blog notes, schlepping to Astoria is a daunting prospect, especially on a winter's night. I can always hope they put it on YouTube.

The Perfect Storm: Our Future Challenge
The UK food industry operates in a global context, and it is now widely agreed that the world is facing a food crisis. At the launch of the Biosciences Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) in 2009, Professor Sir John Beddington, the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, defined the challenge of what he called "the perfect storm".
A combination of increasing population, more affluent and ageing households, and the effects of climate change will create a requirement for the world to produce 50% more food, using less water and energy by 2030. Science and engineering can provide solutions, and biosciences will be particularly important. Although the UK is blessed with a significant research base of scientists and engineers, the translation of research into use is very important.
To meet the challenges faced by the UK food and drink industry, potential solutions from science and engineering have to become a reality. The Knowledge Transfer Network is charged with playing a key role in this process.

Senate looks into DFA handling of Panamanian diplomat accused of rape
MANILA, Philippines—Outraged senators are inquiring into the Department of Foreign Affairs' issuance of a certification that eventually set free a Panamanian national accused of raping a Filipino woman.
"Rape would not fall under the ambit of a diplomat's official functions," Senator Loren Legarda said on the floor, demanding that the DFA and the Department of Justice explain if they give precedence to diplomatic immunity before the rights of the victim. She said such immunity is not absolute.
On a move by Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III, the committees on foreign relations, justice and human rights are opening an inquiry into the matter next week.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, who referred to the Panamanian as a rapist, backed the move.
"We better look into this. Anybody raping a Filipina, even if he's a diplomat, at least should be haled to court and answer for it," he said.
Enrile said the DFA director for immunities and privileges who issued the certification that Erick Bairnals Shcks has diplomatic immunity "should be removed."
Shcks was released from police detention on the basis of the DFA certification. Shcks, 35, technical officer of the Panama Maritime Authority, was facing a rape case in the Makati City Regional Trial Court Branch 57. The 19-year-old alleged victim said the rape took place last April 23 at Shck's place.
Legarda, chair of the foreign relations committee, pointed out that the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations grants immunity to diplomats, ambassadors and officials of international organizations, but this is "anchored on functional necessity," and hence, is not absolute.
The purpose of such privilege is not to benefit individuals but to ensure the performance of a function by a diplomat, she said.
"A close reading of the Vienna Convention privilege does not provide protection and benefits for the diplomat as an individual acting outside of official task," she said. "Diplomatic immunity can't be absolute. It does not provide unlimited immunity to all classes of diplomats."
Legarda said the DFA and DOJ should explain if they held the view that diplomatic immunity takes precedence over international conventions on human rights.
Sotto, in a privilege speech, said he was amazed at the speed with which a member of a foreign embassy was exonerated.
"Is it not that there are crimes that are not covered by diplomatic immunity? As a matter of fact international law has no natural superiority over local laws. Even labor laws in the United States put our ambassadors in hot water if there is an inkling that they harbor an illegal immigrant in their household," he said.
"This is about the crime of rape, Mr. President. It is not a small matter. Are we so helpless or too kind to foreigners in grievous matters such as these? They say that diplomats enjoy certain privileges and immunities. Is rape a privilege to enjoy?" he asked.
