My java project has dependencies with different SLF4J versions. How do I suppress the annoying warnings?
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:xyz234/lib/slf4j-
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:xyz123/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.
P.S.: This is not the same question as slf4j warning about the same binding being duplicate, the answer there is how to get rid of a false alarm warning, in my case it is a true warning however. P.S.S.: Sorry, I forgot to mention: I use Maven and SLF4J is included in the dependencies of my dependencies.

This may be a long shot to do without using JavaScript...
If I have the following (stripped out code for the problem)

#container {
position: relative;
#content {
position: absolute;
The content box contains dynamic content so a fixed height cannot be used.
Position absolute has to be used on the content div as its using jQuery UI stuff...
How would I get the container box to resize its height to fit the content?
I understand this is probably impossible without using some sort of JavaScript, as placing a div positioned absolute takes it out of the flow etc etc, but just wondered if anyone knew of some sort of work around?

Possibly thousands of fish from Marine Harvest, the world's largest producer of farmed salmon, escaped from their 127,000-fish cage over the weekend through a hole created by inclement weather and strong winds. Quite aware of the havoc the mass release of so many farmed salmon could cause on the environment, the company is offering a bounty of $90 per returned fish, each of which weighs about 40 pounds.
"We acknowledge that escapes can have a negative impact on wild salmon, and we have a goal of zero escapes," as Marte Grindaker, a spokeswoman for Marine Harvest, told Al Jazeera.
"Negative impact" is a bit of an understatement. Farmed salmon are often bigger, and therefore faster, than fish in the wild. They are fed quantities of compounds such as astaxanthin and canthaxanthin – carotenoids that give them their pink color — that wild fish obtain naturally. Farmed fish will likely compete with endangered wild salmon for food and can pass on sea lice and viruses as well as contaminants, parasites and pathogens, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. Should the farmed and wild salmon breed with each other, genetically inferior offspring will likely result.
Escapes of Fish From Farms Not Uncommon
Grindaker cites the "quite harsh" weather conditions as a reason that Marine Harvest has yet to figure out how many farmed salmon escapees there are. Such escapes of large numbers of farmed fish are actually not uncommon. The Norwegian Fisheries Directorate says that, in 2006, 921,000 fish escaped from fish farms. The huge underwater cages where they are raised can be breached by strong winds and predators such as seals.
As Martin Krkosek, a biologist at the University of Toronto who studies aquaculture, recently noted, "the rate of escapees has declined dramatically." In 2012, 38,000 of Marine Harvest's farmed fish escaped though, just in October, the company, lost some 20,000 salmon to a jellyfish invasion of its farms off the Irish coast.
Safety of Farmed Fish for Human Consumption Still Debatable
The escape of so many farmed salmon casts yet another shadow on the aquaculture industry. A controversial 2004 study found that farm-raised fish contain higher rates of carcinogenic chemicals including PCBs and other toxic contaminants. These have been banned in most salmon-producing countries but are still in the environment and, in some cases, even the feed for farmed salmon.
The World Wildlife Fund, which established the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) to create sustainability standards for fish aquaculture worldwide, and others say that, due to advances in aquaculture techniques, farmed salmon are now acceptable and even preferable to their wild counterparts. Some farmed salmon, like Verlasso from Chile, are now listed as acceptable as, should these escape, they are not at risk of breeding with wild salmon who are native to the northern hemisphere. But Marine Harvest's are listed as a type to "avoid" on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Advisory.
In Europe and the United States, the consumption of farmed salmon now far exceeds that of wild salmon. This is not surprising considering that, while two billion pounds wild salmon are harvested per year, five billion pounds are now produced on fish farms. Wild salmon have become so rare that, says Al-Jazeera, "divided among the world's population, … could provide only a single serving for each person per year." But is it worth it to eat farmed fish?
Marine Harvest says that it has set out nets near the fish cage in an attempt to recapture the salmon. As of November 18, none have been returned and, as Grindaker says, it is unknown how many have escaped. Along with health concerns about farmed salmon, this latest escape of so many fish from farms leaves plenty of reason to question the safety and viability of the aquaculture industry, both for humans' health and for that of marine ecosystems.

Thank you
Thank you for this informative article.
Thank you for this informative article.
As far as I know, the farmed salmon are not GMO. However, the FDA is very close to approving GMO salmon. And now we know that some GMO salmon almost certainly will escape from their pens. And the negative consequences could be huge.
What with the radiation from Fukishima and mercury pollution from coal burning energy plants, my husband and I have quit eating fish.
the meat and fish section of grocery stores appears like something out of a horror movie
the nightmare has come true. how will this affect the wild salmon
If no one bought the Oppenheimer zombie fish no one would bother farming them. Get on my band wagon with me!
I had no idea something like this could have such a terrible impact on the natural environment. These big companies should make sure every measure is taken to prevent these accidents - and if they don't, they ought to be fined, at the very least. Not small amounts, but BIG fines, to reflect the damage they've caused.
A terrible shame

Alcohol also interferes with the actions of macrophages, the white blood cells that destroy bacteria and other microbes. Intravenous drug abusers are at risk for pneumonia from infections that start at the injection site and spread through the bloodstream to the lungs"

A device comprising a textile coated with a cationic material and a repellant finish, wherein said repellant finish comprises a repellant selected from the group consisting of: a fluorochemical, a wax, a wax-metal emulsion, and an organometallic complex, wherein said textile further comprises an image, the image having a color intensity of greater than 68.4 for the color black.
The present invention generally relates to placing images on textiles, and in particular, to the treatment of textiles for enhancing the definition of the image placed upon the textile.
Images are placed upon a substrate by various methods such as digital printing. Digital printing is the process of placing various small predetermined quantities of a colorant, known as pixels, in predetermined matrix zones of a substrate. Colorants can include dyes, pigments, polymeric colorants, or combinations thereof. Additionally, colorants can include different types and colors of dyes and/or pigments. The pixels can be placed on the substrate by various methods, such as ink jet printing. Typically, digital printing uses a limited small number of different colorants, and only one of these colorants is used for a particular pixel. Variations in colors and shades in digital printing is generally accomplished in digital printing by positioning different colored pixels in adjacent or near-by matrix zones. Although the actual color of the individual pixels is not changed, the impression to a viewer is that the area containing the different colored pixels is a color or shade that is different than any of the actual pixels in the associated area. The impression is created because the pixels are of such a small nature that the viewer cannot readily perceive the individual pixels, and perceives more of an average of the pixels.
Placing images on textiles presents various difficulties not experienced in all substrates. It has been discovered by the inventors of the present invention that, due to the nature of the material in a textile, or the construction of the textile, the color medium (such as ink) used to place the image on the textile may not fill the intended zone for the medium, may bleed outside of the intended zone, or may be absorbed into the textile substrate. If the color medium does not fill the intended zone, the image placed on the textile can lose color intensity due to the presence of the underlying textile substrate color. If the color medium is absorbed into the textile, color intensity can be lost due to at least a portion of the color medium being disposed in an area of the textile that cannot be seen, and/or by the color medium failing to fill the intended zone. If the color medium bleeds outside of the intended zone, image acuity and intensity can be impacted.
These problems are of greater concern with digital printing, where the intended zones for the color medium are smaller and closer together. Furthermore, methods to correct these problems can increase the ability of the textile substrate to lose colorant due to rubbing contact with another surface. Therefore, there is a need for textiles, textile treatments, and methods which reduce the difficulties in placing an image on textiles.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a coating having cationic and repellant characteristics are coated onto the surface of a textile to receive an image by processes such as digital printing. The coating can be a combination of a cationic material and a repellant finish.
Generally, the textile materials can include banner or sign fabrics, upholstery fabrics, drapery fabrics, napery fabrics, carpeting, and the like. The textile can be a woven, knitted, non-woven material, tufted materials, and the like. Woven textiles can include, but are not limited to, satin, poplin, and crepe weave textiles. In one embodiment, the textile is a woven textile, and has from about 15 to about 75 picks per inch, from about 15 to about 175 ends per inch, and can be a satin weave. Knit textiles can include, but are not limited to, circular knit, warp knit, and warp knit with a microdenier face. In one embodiment, the textile is a warp knit fabric with from about 12 to about 50 wales per inch, and from about 10 to about 60 courses per inch. Such textile materials can be formed of natural or synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, wool and acrylic, including textile materials containing mixtures of such natural and synthetic fibers.
Cationic material are materials that have a positive charge. It is believed that the cationic material helps hold the color medium on the surface of the intended zone, thereby reducing any bleeding of the color medium into unintended areas or absorption of the color medium into the textile. Cationic materials that can be used for the present invention include, but are not limited to, polymeric, non-polymeric organic compounds, and metal salts. Polymeric cationic materials and non-polymeric organic cationic materials include nitrogen containing materials and phosphorus containing materials. Nitrogen containing cationic materials include, but are not limited to, primary amine (such as polyvinylamine or polyallyamine), secondary amine, tertiary amine, quaternary amine, and amines converted to cationic amines under acidic conditions. Examples of nitrogen containing cationic polymer materials include homopolymers or copolymers of cationic monomers. Cationic monomers can include diallyldimethylammonium chloride, or methacrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, or the like. Phosphorus containing cationic material include, but are not limited to, the phosphonium group. Examples of a phosphonium group cationic material include stearyltributyl phosphonium bromide, or the like.
Metal salts that can be used for the present invention include water soluble salts of cations from Group II, Group II, or the Transition Metals of the Periodic Table. Examples include magnesium, calcium, aluminum, zinc, and zirconium. In a preferred embodiment, the salts have an anion of a weak acid, such as acetate forming or the like.
It has been found that the use of a combination of quaternary polymer and a multivalent metal salt as the cationic coating material is particularly effective as a treatment for fabric to receive an image such as from digital printing.
Repellant finishes include fluorochemicals, silicones, resin-based finishes, waxes, wax-metal emulsions, organometallic complexes, and combinations thereof. It is believed that the repellant properties of the repellant finishes help prevent the color medium from being absorbed into the textile, and facilitates allowing the color medium to fill the entire intended zone for the color medium.
Fluorochemical repellants include chemicals that contain perfluorocarbon groups. In one embodiment, the fluorochemical repellants are the products of copolymers of perfluoroalkyl acrylates or methacrylates with other comonomers. The comonomers include esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid containing alkyl groups, alkylamide groups, or polyether groups. In one embodiment, the Fluorochemical repellants can be emulsions or solvent solutions for application to the textile material.
Silicone repellants include polymers of methyl(hydrogen)siloxane and dimethylsiloxane. In one embodiment, the silicones are an aqueous emulsion or a solvent solution for application to the textile material.
Resin-based finishes include modified melamine formaldehyde resin based finishes, and can be blended with waxes. In one embodiment, the resin-based finishes are a water soluble material such as AEROTEX M3™ from BF Goodrich for application to the textile material.
The image on the textile is created by a colorant. The colorant can be dyes, pigments, polymeric colorants, or a combination thereof, and can be a component of a material such as an ink. The ink can be an aqueous and/or non-aqueous solution based material, with the colorant being a dispersion or a solution therein. An example of the aqueous dispersion type ink is the DI Series (Yellow GWL, etc.) from Ciba, Inc. An example of a non-aqueous solvent type ink is the PzO Series (cyan, magenta, yellow etc.) from A.R. Monteith. Inc.
In a procedure of the present invention, the coating having cationic and repellant properties is applied to the textile and then the image is placed upon the surface of the textile having the coating thereon. In one embodiment, the coating is applied to the textile substrate in an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution can be applied to the surface of the textile to receive the image, or the entire textile can be dipped into the aqueous solution. After the acqueous coating is place on the textile, the textile is typically squeezed between rolls to remove excess aqueous solution, and then dried. The image can be placed on the textile using digital printing, such as from a digital or ink jet printer.
The present invention can be further understood with reference to the following examples:
A polyester fabric was dipped into a variety of aqueous baths of the chemical coatings listed below in Table 1. The fabric was a Sateen Weave with 152 ends per inch and 70 picks per inch. The warp yarn was a 1/70/34 polyester, warp drawn yarn. The fill yarn was a 1/150/34 textured polyester The base fabric weighed about 3.1 oz/sq. yd.
In Table 1, the percentages of the chemicals listed in the Chemical Formulation column are by weight of the total aqueous bath of the chemical coatings. In the Chemical Formulation column of Table 1, POLYCAT M30™ is a quaternary stilbene vinyl copolymer by Peach State Labs; FORAPERLE 501™ is a fluorochemical dispersion by Atofina; REPEARL 8025™ is a fluorochemical dispersion by Mitsubishi Chemical; and Nalco 2010™ is a diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) polymer by Nalco. Dow Coming 5700™ listed as the Chemical Formulation in Example 6, is a 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propydimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride by Dow Corning, and demonstrates the present invention utilizing a coating chemical having both cationic and hydrophobic properties. Another coating chemical that can be used for the present invention that have both cationic and hydrophobic properties includes melamine-formaldehyde resin.
The chemical coatings were applied in aqueous form by dipping the fabric into a water based bath of the chemicals listed in Table 1. After the fabric was coated with the aqueous solution of the chemical coatings, the coated fabric was squeezed between rolls and dried at 360F. for 2 minutes. The % of add-on is the difference between the weight of the fabric before and after the chemical coatings are applied, divided by the weight of the fabric before addition of the chemical coatings and multiplied by 100.
The coated fabric was printed with an HP 660C digital printer with a test pattern of 1 inch diameter black, red, yellow, and red dots, and 4 pt. black and red lines. The inks used were pigment based (Black), or acid dye based (red, yellow, blue).
The color of the dots was measured with a HunterLab DP-9000 colorometer. The variations in color intensity between samples and the fabric background was measured with a modification of The Engineering Society for Advancing Mobility Land Sea Air and Space Textile Test method SAE J-1885, "(R) Accelerated Exposure of Automotive Interior Trim Components Using a Controlled Irradiance Water Cooled Xenon-Arc Apparatus". The modification of the test was that the initial measurement was on the background (or area not printed) and the final measurement was on the printed area. The color intensity, ΔEp, is generally calculated by the following equation:
The acuity ratio (AR) was calculated by printing the black and red 4 pt. line in both warp and fill directions and measuring the greatest width that the ink wicked away from the line under a light microscope and dividing by the theoretical line width.
The results in Table 1 demonstrate the effects of changing concentration of repellant finish, type of repellant finish or cationic chemical, and total solids add-on.

Despite joblessness, economists see upturn in 2011
Sales, income and housing will rise, two economics panels say
Housing: Both forecasts predict that the housing market will remain in the doldrums in 2011. Nickelsburg blames "too many homes in the inland and too few buyers on the coast," while Chapman notes that there is a large "shadow inventory" of foreclosed homes held by financial institutions and a large number of homes are moving through the foreclosure process.
"Also, many homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages originated in 2006 need to refinance their loans in 2011," the Chapman report said. "With home values significantly below their existing mortgage balances, some homeowners will not qualify for refinancing. This will lead to additional defaults and foreclosures in the coming year."
Nevertheless, Chapman predicts that the median price of homes sold next year will rise next year — mostly because of a greater proportion of high-priced homes in the mix being sold.

Obituary writer Jan Uebelherr reflects on those who've left us and the nature of human endings.
Bill Binter: One of Merrill's Marauders
Bill Binter was just 20 years old when he volunteered for a mission that would become one of the most famous campaigns during World War II. He spent five rugged months as one of Merrill's Marauders in the dense jungles of northern Burma.
When he came home, he found work as best he could -- drove cab, tended bar, worked in the machine shop at Louis Allis. He eventually opened the iconic Golden Zither restaurant.
He died March 12 at age 90 in Florida.
A full obituary is in the works.

Tarah McKay
Feb. 5, 2010
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville cross country and track and field standout Tarah McKay was among 16 winners of the 2009-10 BIG EAST Institutional Female Scholar-Athlete Awards announced by the conference on Friday. Each institutional winner receives $2,000 toward graduate studies.
McKay's illustrious cross country career, included six career victories, three runner-up finishes, two NCAA Championship berths and being named All-Region and All-BIG EAST Performer four consecutive seasons.

Richly Colored 1810 Five Dollar1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS64 PCGS. BD-4, R.2. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/b. This available die pairing is one of the most frequently seen in this extremely challenging U.S. coin series, a marriage that Harry Bass, Jr. owned four of -- no doubt in different die states. The present near-Gem offers super luster and is an attractive, well-struck, original-looking coin. Three small marks on the face and a number of tiny field marks keep the coin from grading even higher. The prevailing rich orange-gold color deepens slightly around the margins of each side. A faint grease stain runs horizontally from the eagle's right (facing) wing through the M of AMERICA. An excellent potential acquisition for type purposes. Population: 32 in 64, 3 finer (1/12).(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 25PG, PCGS# 8108)

Bates College
¡Hola a todos/as! My name is Nina. I have a passion for Spanish that developed during my 14 years studying the language. Academically, I graduated summa cum laude from Bates College in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. As the culmination of my collegiate experience, I wrote a 75-page senior thesis in Spanish about the fatalistic gender representations in Vargas Llosa's Los cachorros and La ciudad y los perros. I also have extensive experience traveling in Latin America. During my junior year of college, I lived in Lima, Peru for a year. There, I studied in a local university and volunteered with Centro de Promoción y Defensa de los Derechos Sexuales y Reproductivos, a nonprofit working to protect sexual and reproductive rights and to advocate for the Peruvian LGBT community. I returned to Peru for a month-long trip this year. In 2012 I spent a month backpacking on my own through Panama and Costa Rica, and I have visited Chile and Ecuador as well.
With regards to my skills in tutoring, since October 2011 I have tutored Spanish to students of various levels and ages (from a second-grader to an adult learner), creating individualized strategies and lesson plans to fit each student's particular needs. Furthermore, I worked for a year as a bilingual teacher's assistant in a third grade classroom. Working with students in small groups and one-on-one has given me the invaluable teaching skills that I would utilize as your tutor. Moreover, I love helping others. I am good at thinking of multiple ways to explain concepts if someone does not understand my initial explanation. I myself need to ask lots of questions when I am learning new material, so I fully encourage questions from others. I am also a fun, enthusiastic, and creative tutor.
Apart from experience tutoring Spanish, I also have a background in translation, transcription, interpreting, and language editing. I have worked as a Spanish translator with The Translation & Interpreting Center in Denver since January 2013. There, my primary focus has been translating the affidavits of domestic abuse victims from Spanish to English. The organization also gave me the opportunity to transcribe and translate a video interview of a domestic abuse victim. I have experience with language editing as well, having assisted scholar Mary Berg in editing a recent edition of the nineteenth-century novel Aves sin nido. Moreover, I just completed a community interpreting course with Language Connections.
I would love to share my passion for Spanish as your tutor! I look forward to hearing from you. ¡Hola a todos/as! My name is Nina. I have a passion for Spanish that developed during my 14 years studying the language. Academically, I graduated summa cum laude from Bates College in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish.

2014-2015 Season
By Landford Wilson
Directed by Richard Holden
November 5 – November 16, 2014
Reilly Theatre
Ken, a legless Vietnam veteran, and his lover, Jed, a horticulturist are visited in their rural, Missouri farm house by Ken's sister, June, and her teenage daughter, and by Gwen and John-the former hard-drinking, comma pill-popping heiress who aspires to be a rock star, the latter her husband and manager. All are old friends from college, a former activist who agitated for a better world. The action of the play is sharp and funny and deeply revealing of lost hopes and dreams and of the bitterness that must be suppressed if one to find the good that life can offer.
Book by Laurence D. Cohen; Music by Michael Gore; Lyrics by Dean Pitchford; based on the novel by Stephen King
Directed by Tamara Fisch
March 4 – 15, 2015

Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she's an outcast who is bullied by the popular crowd, and is invisible to everyone else. At home, she's at the mercy of her loving but cruely over-protective mother. But Carrie has just discovered that she has a special power, and if pushed too far, she's not afraid to use it…Carrie received a legendary 1988 Broadway production, one of the biggest flops of all time. But was reworked by the original writers during great acclaim during the 2012 season. Join us for this fully re-imagined adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling novel, by Laurence D. Cohen (screenwriter for the film) and Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose).
