Petzl Spirit performance at 2/3 the weight
I think everyone loves the Petzl Spirit carabiners, but they're expensive and kind of heavy. These won't save much money over the Spirits but they perform just as well and only weigh 34 grams. The description has this listed as a wire gate, you can see from the picture that is not the case. Gate action is nice and strong. Add in a keylock nose and you can't go wrong. I paired these up with some Black Diamond dogbones to make my favorite new quickdraws.
Ryan Hamilton
Update to this. I own a bunch of different carabiners and quickdraws and the draws I made using these biners are by far my favorite. I especially like them for ice. Easy to clip the rope with gloves and easy to get unclipped when following because there is no notch to snag the rope. Super light and burly at the same time. Will be buying more soon.

In 1970 a teenaged girl whose family owned a large Victorian summer home in Haven Harbor, Maine, died suddenly. Was it an accident, as the police report said? Or does her deserted home, or the needlework inside, hide clues to what really happened at that Labor Day party? And why is a famous Hollywood actress now so determined to renovate the home ... and become a part of the Haven Harbor community?

Akuaku has compiled some code which will allow you to integrate Google Maps with any "Ruby on Rails" application. Here is the quick summary:
I've got some code here that should let you pretty easily add custom google maps to your rails app. It's far from complete but it's enough to get you going.
The following link contains the location to download the files required and instructions for setting it up in your Rails application directory.
If you're a Rails developer you'll know what all this is about. If not, here is the Ruby On Rails site which details what rails is and how it works. Basecamp is a good example of a rails app.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the cash, but...,
Steven Cain (Temporal Quantum Pocket) - See all my reviews
A great starter book that will get you up and running with a good personal web page or site (multiple connected pages) in a short time, or even a basic business site.
One staggeringly DUMB thing is that the first reference to a web SITE rather than merely a page is on page 11. No mention on the cover either. Most people are more familiar with the term web site than web page, so this is a very questionable omission, which may have cost them book sales.
If the book has a weakness, it is that it places too much emphasis on catering for older generation browsers, suggesting that Netscape Composer will build pages that older browsers will usually be able to read. Although, even here, I'm not so sure they are correct.
I created a basic read-only multi-page site in Composer under Netscape 7.1 and when I looked at the HTML source code, it was using HTML 4.1, (i.e. current HTML) and by the fact that it mentioned DTD's (Document Type Definitions), it must be leaning in an XML direction. However, by the fact that it did not generate an end slash after the (empty) "br" (line break) tag, for example, it does not go all the way to being XHTML compatible.
One problem here is that 95-97% of surfers will not have older generation browsers, and to compromise going ahead with XML and ultimately, XHTML standards (the ONLY way to go for the future) will not be helpful to you or your web host.
Many web hosts wince if you say you have built a web site in Composer, and whine about 'inelegant code'. What they are really talking about is forward compatability i.e. dragging web design and Net standards out of the stone age.
It is definitely advisable to manually convert any generated code to XHTML format and use a checking tool such as WC3 Validator, which I don't think this book even mentions.
It also fails to adequately distinguish between the nature of a read-only website and a fully interactive one, with a MYSQL database. It does mention that any add-on such as forms necessarily includes data storage and it does mention CGI and Perl (server-end software), but the detail in this area is somewhat lacking.
These are not heavy criticisms on my part. I love the For Dummies series, and this is a very good basic book. It will certainly suffice for most people, in that many of the explanations of the basics are excellent. Just a few tweaks and it would have been perfect.
Oh, what the heck, give 'em a seegar anyway.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Makes A Great Starter (And Finisher)!,
Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco/Oakland, CA.) - See all my reviews
Don't be fooled by the title "for Dummies". This book includes everything you need to know about creating your own Web page with all the knowledge and software you'll need. You will need to invest some time in this project - but it is worth every minute! It's a simple, step by step process and you will need to take it slow if you're an average creator.
First you'll learn all about Web Publishing Basics, Website strategies and just enough HTML to get started (it's not that hard!). Besides creating your first Web page, you'll learn how to get the darn thing published on the WWW! That's half the battle, but worth the effort! There's lots of information on what to avoid (before you go there) and what makes the best Web page. Before you know it, you'll be upgrading your Web page all the time. You'll never get bored updating and changing your page until it's just perfect!
The book includes an invaluable CD that is useful for Windows and MAC! It contains Microsft Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, Dreamweaver (great design tool!), Frontpage Express, HTML conversion tools for Word (nice short-cut), BBEDIT, GraphicConverter (MAC), Homesite HTML Editor (MAC), Hotdog Express (for Windows - great tool!), SiteCheck utility, an Internet service provider software (if you don't already have one - most likely you have a sufficient one), HTMLValidator (catches errors), WEB Wizard (a nifty quick-and-dirty page maker), Reptile (for making cool backgrounds) and Paint Shop Pro, which is my favorite tool. There's plenty of other stuff too that I just can't get into detail here.
Once again, this does take a little bit of effort, but of all the books I have perused, this one seemed to be the best value for the money. It's all here and updated annually. It is worth every penny. Get your Web site up and running in less than a weekend (even though the book says one day). You'll feel smart when you're done! Enjoy!

John Robinson "john" (Yokohama, Kanagawa Japan) - See all my reviews
This book has good and bad points. First, the bad, so you will know why you SHOULD NOT buy this book: the authors are liars. Okay, okay, strong language I know, but consider: both in the book itself and in the software included, the authors claim that Internet Explorer 5.0 and FrontPage Express are included on the CD. Now, if you already have these programs, you obviously don't need them again. But if, like me, you don't yet have them, then having them on a CD is a great bonus. It sure beats waiting for hours for the things to download off of Microsoft's server. And what a great convenience if, for some reason, you need to reinstall Windows, or something. Unfortunately, neither of these useful programs are included on the CD. Neither one. Zilch. Nothing. How dishonest. How disappointing. Liars indeed. Now the good, so you will know why you SHOULD buy this book: although the authors spend a ridiculous amount of time talking about GeoCities and AOL (or whatever), they do provide the rank beginner (that's me) with some helpful hints about HTML, graphics standards, and web creation software. It is thanks to this book that I discovered that I already had Netscape Composer on my computer and could use that to make my webpage. Which I did! So, I'm grateful for that and reward them with the extra star (they would have gotten 1 star for lying). Of course, if they had included FrontPage Express, as they promised, I would never have had to use Composer in the first place, so... LET THE BUYER BEWARE.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for the new computer user,
Kindle Customer (Floyds Knobs, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This book is very generic and the intended audience for this book is the person who recently just bought their first computer and now they want to create their first web page. This book will help you achieve that goal. When you finish this book, not only will you be able to create web pages but you will be able to include pictures. This is perfect for the home user who wants to put their kids or their grandchildren on a web page for all of their friends to see. The authors have done a good job writing this book. In chapter 2 and 3, the authors explain how web pages work on AOL, other ISPs, and GeoCities. In Chapter 4, they teach you the fundamentals of HTML. The chapters are fairly short and the cartoons really help ease the stress of learning. You cannot go wrong with this book and I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Web Page Basics!,
"seiferburns" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Web Pages Value Kit (Paperback)
I love all of the Dummy books I have because all of these books just explain things so clearly, have a little bit of humor, and you learn things while having fun! I just bought this book not too long ago and I have to say it's pretty good. I always wanted to create my own web site but knew that I should start out with small ones then move onto larger ones. This book teaches you the basics of HTML without all that scientific talk and other things like creating cool icons. Then, once you create a basic web site it tells you how to improve it by giving it a little more power. Before you know it you got yourself a pretty cool web site! The humor was alright but was still entertaining to read. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to start to create basic web sites then move onto major ones!
4.0 out of 5 stars Creating a Web Page for Dummies,
Susan Nash (Mission Viejo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
While this book trades under the usual "Dummies" yellow and black, I found it to be extrememly helpful beyond the bare basics. There were numerous pointers to aid in the building of a webpage for my 3rd grade students as they support their writing skills and have a place to display their work. This book provided a great way for me to simply show them "how to" and I gained pointers on where to go for the next stage in our class web projects. I also liked getting the CD with trial versions of a variety of programs such as Dreamweaver and HotDog Professional. This was money well spent.
5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book For a Beginner Web Publisher,
L. Curtis "Millicent Y. Curtis" (Memphis, Tennessee) - See all my reviews
Since I'm new to the web publishing world, I found "Creating Web Pages for Dummies" to be very useful and informative. Because of this book, I actually published three home pages and an entire web site! In my opinion, the authors provide detailed and easy to follow instructions. The book was also humorous and an easy read. I was never bored and I actually read a few chapter over again. I really enjoy this book because it taught me something I never thought I would be able to do. This book is a must for the beginner web publisher.
5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good title ....,

Behold the beard. My wife likes to take pictures of me. Her artistry is pretty amazing, although I dislike the subject matter. I kind of like this one, though. I could almost imagine that guy prospecting out in the mountains or something. Turns out he's a ridiculously sedentary geek, but whatever.
windstalker668 asks:
What is the lore behind the ogres in Kalimdor? There are several tribes across the southern part of the continent, and I was just wondering how they got there? Ogres are not native to Azeroth so it seems odd that there would be full tribes of them, especially in Kalimdor.
It's fair that I be the one to answer this. An extremely short answer would be to link to the KYL I did about ogres. Since I see that commenter Morbid has already won this, I'll sum up.
Ogres are like big, stupid rats. They breed fast, they infest everywhere that can hold even a small ogre mound, and once they're in, it's extremely hard to get rid of them. While they are indeed often tremendously stupid, they're also very physically powerful, so it's hard to stamp them out. (These are guys who survived the Gronn for years.) As for what the ogre females look like or where ogre babies come from, I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Mike asked:
Is there a set formula for stat conversion for pre-Cataclysm items? Like a weapon with 300 spellpower and 60 intellect becomes a 360 intellect weapon in Cataclysm?
I don't think we can say with any certainty what the final system for pre-Cataclysm items will be. For one example, here's Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas on live. It has int and SP on it. In the current beta, it has completely different itemization: no int at all, 224 more spellpower, nearly half as much physical DPS (not that many casters would care, I suppose) and close to twice as much stamina. So clearly, spellpower on items isn't just going away. Looking at various ICC caster swords (which seem to be to be a good option, as they're usually mage/paladin weapons), we see again no int and heavy spellpower on them.
So keeping in mind that there are months to go yet in the beta, the answer to your question seems to be: "If anything, they dump int on current raid weapons and jack up the spellpower." Hope that helps.
Kriegle asked:
Where exactly is the Pit of Saron? I've flown all around ICC and Southern Icecrown, and I can't seem to find what should be a pretty conspicuous giant floating skull and quarry of slaves.
A wizard did it.
Seriously, as several of your fellow readers commented, it's best to treat the whole issue of where instances are in the world with a bit of suspension of disbelief. While it's possible, say, to estimate which of those platforms outside the ICC spire are ones the gunships dock on or the one you fight Deathbringer Saurfang on, they clearly don't match up in scale, and if you fly to the top of the Citadel, the Frozen Throne is curiously unfinished. There are places in Icecrown Glacier that would be suitable for the Pit of Saron, but they lack things like free space into which to fit a huge saronite quarry, because there's just no room for them on the existing map. I mean, where does the final escape from Arthas in the Halls of Reflection take place? You can see Malykriss floating there as you run down the pathway, but when you fly to Malykriss in the world outside the instance, it's very difficult to see where in the Citadel that path could possibly exist.
Again, it's best to just say, "a wizard did it" and move on.
My beard asked:
When are you going to trim me again? I'm getting ridiculously snarly-looking here.
Never, my faithful face friend. Or at least "never" as loosely defined by me, which means "until my wife complains enough."
threesixteen asked:
Any word on what might happen with Badges of Justice? It'd be great if they'd make that gear BoA so we could attire our alts in cool lvl 70 epics, even if they only get used for like a week or two while we level up.
In fact, I'd love to be able to grind some of token/emblem that would allow me to "upgrade" my complete T1 and T2 sets with stats comparable to near-endgame gear ... Any chance of that happening?
No, no chance of that happening. (This has been Matt pretending to certainty he cannot possibly possess.) More seriously, I can't say that it will never happen. I would never have predicted race changes, faction changes, paid realm transfers or purchasable mounts or pets. But I would be willing to say it is extremely unlikely that you'll see anything like Badges of Justice being usable for BoA gear or instance tokens or emblems to allow you to upgrade your older tier sets.
I do look crazy awesome in my old tier 2, though. Only set I've ever held onto.

Betty H. McMahonApril 29,2014
Betty H. McMahon
POULTNEY Betty H. McMahon, 75, died on April 26, 2014, at the home she shared with her daughter Bonnie and her grandson, Justin, after a brief illness.
Betty was born in Poultney on Feb. 9, 1939, the daughter to Lillian Colvin Hughes and Stanley Hughes. Betty was one of four children. Betty is pre-deceased by her husband, William J. McMahon, her parents, her brother David, and her younger sister Charlene.
Surviving Betty are her sister Jane Briggs of Fair Haven, Vt.; Bettys children, all of Poultney: daughter Bonnie Lenihan; grandson Justin Lenihan; and son-in law Peter Lenihan; son William J. McMahon Jr. and his wife, Laura; grandson Jacob David McMahon and granddaughter Alexis McMahon; son Michael P. McMahon and his wife, Cindy, and two granddaughters Megan and Alyssa. Betty also had a quasi-grandson, Ryan Mullen. Ryan was very important to Betty. Betty is also survived by her step-daughter Debra Clark and her husband, Tom, of Derry, NH and their four children Erin, Kaitlin, Lori and Tommy Clark as well as six great-grandchildren Colin, Emily, Caleb, Kasey, Khloe and Kamron. She is also survived by many aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Betty was a graduate of Poultney High School Class of 1957. After leaving high school, she and her best friend, Mary Daley, embarked on a journey to the Boston area to work at the Fessenden Boys School with Bettys Aunt Peg. It was there that Betty met and married her husband, Bill McMahon. After the birth of their first child, the couple returned to Poultney and became lifelong residents here.
Betty was a long time dedicated employee working at Fair Haven Outlet, the Poultney Dress Shop, Linda Lee Dress Shop, Wilson Photo and the Poultney Cash Market, where Betty retired after 18 years. While working at Poultney Cash, Betty made many wonderful friendships and was always looking forward to running into these folks.
Upon retirement, Betty connected with cousin Erin Traverse and his wife Patty on a common passion. Betty enjoyed spending many hours with Erin and Patty as they were devoted to tracing and documenting the family lineage. With each new revelation and validated identification of a family member, Betty was just overjoyed. This brought her so much happiness, and then she loved to share with many their new discoveries.
The family would like to offer special thanks to those who assisted in Bettys care in her remaining days: Susan Sessock, her beloved hospice nurse; her two health aides, Sandy and Gail; as well as Bonnie Sheldon and, most importantly, her grandson Justin Lenihan, as his loving dedication and countless hours of care allowed Betty to remain at home. Betty and the family were also so appreciative of her frequent visitors Sylvia Pollack, Sandy Davis, Beth Carpenter, Doug Hatch, Patty and Erin Traverse, Shirley Beayon, Paul Bogucki, Shirley and Brownie Brown, Lori Nelson, Deb Clark and all of Bettys grandchildren and great grandchildren.
There will be calling hours from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 4, 2014, at the Durfee Funeral Home, 119 North Main Street, Fair Haven. A reception will immediately follow at the Fair Haven American Legion.
A memorial service and burial will take place at a later date (to be determined) at the family cemetery on Birdseye Mountain in Poultney, VT 05735.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Durfee Funeral Home.
Memorial contributions may be made to Rutland Area Visiting Nurse/Hospice Division, C/O Rutland Health Foundation, 433 West Street, Rutland, VT 05701.MORE IN Obituaries0801 RH Obits Caldwell paid photo no flag Full Story0801 RH Obits Kotrady Paid photo flag Full Story0801 RH Obits Fredetee paid photo no flag Full Story

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Michael Hochella
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)
Naturally occurring inorganic nanoparticles have been one of the principal catalytic components of Earth throughout its history. Yet these ubiquitous materials have largely escaped our close scrutiny until very recently. They are illusive and difficult to study. They have properties that change significantly with their exact size, shape, aggregation state, and surrounding environment. In the past, it has not even been clear how they accumulate, disperse, and move around the planet, nor even for sure what their major sources and sinks are. We have now compiled and derived a global budget for naturally occurring inorganic nanoparticles, including an assessment of their sources and sinks, as well as their fluxes between various Earth compartments (atmosphere, continents, continental shelves, and open oceans). In addition, these kinds of budgets provide a basis for fundamental understanding such as residence and transfer times between compartments. Specific findings include the following: 1) The primary producer of Earth's inorganic nanoparticles is soil through terrestrial weathering processes; 2) rivers, and to a lesser extent glaciers, bring 0.1\% to 0.01\% of the Earth's continental nanomaterial reservoir to the continental edge/ocean margins each year; 3) only about 1.5\% of this material makes it to the deep oceans due to aggregation and settling in saline ocean margins; and 4) the airborne and waterborne inputs of nanominerals and mineral nanoparticles to the open oceans are very similar. These kinds of results, along with a much better understanding of the characteristics of naturally occurring inorganic nanoparticles via direct observation in the field coupled with laboratory studies, provide a useful foundation upon which to predict the behavior and fate of manufactured nanoparticles, many of which are very similar to naturally occurring varieties. Even when specific correlations between naturally occurring and manufactured nanoparticles cannot be made, important clues in manufactured nanoparticle behavior in complex environments can be obtain by observing natural systems.

Let's Talk Pastels
When I walked into Marie Antoinette's personal Versailles mansion three summers ago, I was stunned by the pink marble, pink drapes, pink china — pink everywhere.
She really had it all figured out when she cherry-picked her signature colour. Just check out her shoes! If you've never been to France, you may not realize how much Parisians love their colourful macarons. World-renowned patisserie Ladurée, on fashionable Champs-Élysées, is full of pastel sweets.
Whether they're here to stay or a seasonal fad, pinks, yellows, blues and greens in the softest of tones are now coming into our homes as they did decades ago.
Once referred to as a thing of the '50s, soft shades have made a comeback. From mint jeans to sweet pink frying pans, this is by far the most colourful summer I can recall.
Check out the recent runway shows. Pastels are tinting Chanel and Versace collections.
Pastels in all colours have become a crucial part of my summer. Here's how I've fit them in:
I chose this fresh Benjamin Moore paint swatch for my bathroom (left). And here's the material (right) I just picked out for an antique rocking chair I'm restoring.
At my sister's graduation party last weekend, I incorporated as much pastel as possible to go with the season. The s'more station was such a hit. I found the pink pewter pots and loaf pans at HomeSense for $8 for four!
See our Soft & Feminine Rooms for more pretty pastels.

Clinton established the goal last year, saying that while it may be ambitious, it is possible with current knowledge and interventions. "That is something we've never been able to say without
qualification before," she said in November 2011. But she warned Nov 29 that the task of achieving that goal is beyond the capability of one government or country. "It requires the world to share in the responsibility. We call on partner countries, other donor nations, civil society, faith-based organizations, the private sector, foundations, multilateral institutions and people living with HIV to join us as we each do our part."
A 64-page roadmap entitled "PEPFAR Blueprint: Creating an AIDS-Free Generation" highlights the strategies considered pivotal in reaching that goal. They include working toward the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive; increasing coverage of HIV treatment both to reduce AIDS-related mortality and to enhance HIV prevention; increasing the number of males who are circumcised for HIV prevention; and increasing access to, and uptake of, HIV testing and counselling, condoms and other evidence-based, appropriately targeted prevention interventions.
PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a program started by former president George W Bush, currently spends about $6.6 billion a year on AIDS in at least 34 countries, The Post notes.
"In many high-prevalence countries, the number of people becoming infected with HIV each year exceeds the number being started on antiretroviral therapy — a state that will lead to continued growth of the epidemic," the report adds, citing examples such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 4.9 people become infected for every 1 infected person who starts therapy; Nigeria, with a ratio of 4.8 to 1; Tanzania, at 3.8 to 1; and Rwanda, at 2.1 to 1.
The Guardian notes that a report from UNAIDS last week indicated that the rate of infections over the last decade had dropped by more than half in 25 low- and middle-income countries, including Zimbabwe, with a drop of 50 percent, and Malawi, with a drop of 73 percent.
"As we continue to drive down the number of new infections and drive up the number of people on treatment, eventually we will be able to treat more people than become infected every year. That will be the tipping point. We will then get ahead of the pandemic and an AIDS-free generation will be in our sight," Clinton suggests.

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Broke Straight Boys
These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
Digging through old shoots I found a shoot with Dustin after he just started working with us. In it Dustin came back for some more work for gas money, and so I planned on putting him in an easy solo shoot. He had done work with us before, and has become a favorite here on BrokeStraightBoys.com with members. Dustin is straight, and has a job working in retail making crappy money. He was 21, just broken up with his girlfriend at the time, and that was one reason why he decided to do porn. Looking over his body, he seemed to be in good shape and he said that he like to work out. I had him stand up for me and lift his shirt to see his chest. He was semi-tone, had a nice tan going for him, and the best part was the neatly trimmed happy trail that led to his cock. Spinning around he showed his ass to the camera, and admitted that he had a big booty.
rnExplaining to Dustin that I had two guys for him to do the shoot with, and they were going to fuck him. He laughed and said no way

PHP scripts outputs files I cannot see even as root
I have a cron job registered that runs a PHP script that in turn outputs a log file each time it is run. When I log in as root (via ssh) I go to the log files directory and there is nothing. Then I made a PHP script to list files in the directory, and there they are! Apparently PHP can read and write them where root can't even see them. I'm stumped, any ideas?
Additional info: if I run the PHP script that cron is running as root, it outputs a log file that I CAN see.
Thanks in advance!

Tierra Rejada Valley greenbelt matters
The natural open space and farmlands between our cities are a source of incalculable value to our county. They safeguard wildlife habitat, clean water and a healthy local food supply. They underpin a resilient economy and provide us with breathing room, recreation and a connection to the land. They surround and make livable our communities and define our sense of place.
Our greenbelts enjoy several layers of protection, including the Save Open-space and Agricultural Resources initiatives, greenbelt agreements, and the county general plan's Guidelines for Orderly Development. But none of these lands is permanently safe from the threat of development. If not renewed, the SOAR boundaries will begin expiring in 2020. The seven greenbelt agreements around the county are voluntary "handshake" commitments between cities and the county that lack teeth for enforcement. Even publicly owned parklands may be put up for sale to meet near-term budget crises.
When we start chipping away at the greenbelts through piecemeal annexation, ranchette development and other forms of urban or rural sprawl, we reduce their ability to provide the things we value, and we take a step toward losing them altogether.
The Tierra Rejada greenbelt between Thousand Oaks, Moorpark and Simi Valley is the last remaining open space that keeps these three cities from sprawling together into a single urban/suburban mass. It is part of a critical wildlife corridor, one of the last remaining links between the coastal Santa Monica Mountains to the south and inland ranges to the north. And it is home to family farms that bring fresh, locally grown foods to our markets and tables.
Ventura County residents understand the unique and irreplaceable value of places like the Tierra Rejada Valley. They expect that any decision to compromise a greenbelt, here or elsewhere, should be taken only after the community has engaged in serious, thoughtful and informed deliberation. Voters here have underscored again and again that such irreversible steps toward development should be taken only when compelling need and community benefits have been clearly demonstrated, and all reasonable alternatives have been exhausted.
The city of Simi Valley is asking its neighboring cities to join it in amending the Tierra Rejada greenbelt agreement to allow the city to annex nearly 230 acres of the greenbelt, including 67 acres of undeveloped open space, along with the Reagan Library complex and seven 10-acre residential lots.
According to state law, the express purpose of annexation by cities is for development. Claims that annexation will strengthen the open-space protections do not equate to credible guarantees that the greenbelt will, in fact, remain open and protected.
In addition to moving these lands a step closer to development, this action would also set a precedent that could lead to further weakening of the greenbelt agreements. When one city takes a bite out of a greenbelt, it paves the way — literally or figuratively — for others to follow suit.
Our society faces enormous environmental challenges. In this era of climate change and rapidly constricting land and water resources, we should rejoice in the rich open space and agricultural lands our county has held onto against all odds, and take steps to strengthen their protection, not allow them to erode away.
The county of Ventura has taken such steps recently by enacting a moratorium on developing lands zoned open space in the unincorporated county, and initiating a first-of-its-kind wildlife corridor zoning to keep development away from the few wildlife corridors that connect the Santa Monica Mountains to the Simi Hills and Los Padres Forest. The county should continue pursuing these and other regulatory measures to strengthen greenbelt protections. The cities, in turn, should focus on smart growth within their existing footprints, rather than opening the door to more sprawl.
Perhaps the most important value of our greenbelts is the ability to pass them on to future generations. Squandering this legacy — whether in small bites or big ones — is unconscionable.

Revel in RealityApril 15th, 2011
From Brett Kostrzewski, the host of "This Week at the Symphony" on KSLU:
Music commonly conveys familiar emotions such as the triumph of Mahler's second symphony or the heart-wrenching sadness of Tchaikovsky's sixth. Less commonly, however, music can become a dream based on a famous tale, containing both sleep's intrinsic darkness and the constant rumble of reality. This is Salvatore Sciarrino's opera Lohengrin, performed by musicians of the St. Louis Symphony and David Robertson at the Pulitzer this past Wednesday.
"It's a bit unusual," said bassoon player Felicia Foland. This may be the understatement of the year, as the bassoonists were tapping the reed with their tongues, the flutists were blowing through the instrument without pitch, the strings glissed like I've never heard before, and the percussionist gently rumbled thunder on a large bent piece of steel. A daunting and confusing score was visible over the Maestro's shoulder, demanding such difficult and unusual sounds. It was executed with surreal mastery by his musicians.
Yet the most unique sounds and the most energy came from soprano Marianne Pousseur, and if any emotional connection could be made with this piece, it would have to be with her performance. Dreams occur in the brain, but somehow our logic escapes us as the impossible seems routine, and even the inexplicable images can leave us with a sense of loss or love when we awake. Pousseur served as this bridge to the heart, pouring energy into her "singing" that one could feel across the small space.
The libretto was based on the story of Lohengrin, made so famous by Wagner's epic opera. But in this rendition, like in a dream, it is just a shadow. The text is less important than the sounds and the experience, felt both by audience and ensemble. Sciarrino clearly assumes that the story is known; like a dream, it is confusingly told out of order. Lohengrin is sailing away on his swan in the beginning, but arriving on his swan at the end. His bride Elsa watches from the open window in both scenes.
The concert was paired with Dreamscapes, the Pulitzer's current art exhibition. The work defines this word, and Robertson's selection of it was completely appropriate. It was mostly a very quiet piece, Pousseur rarely rising above a whisper (when she wasn't clicking her teeth or popping her lips) and the orchestra rarely playing tutti and at full volume. My favorite spots were the ever-present reminders of reality, a harsh one revealed upon Elsa's awakening. The horns sounded like an alarm at one point, and Pousseur ticked like the clock in her character's bedroom at another.
For Elsa, the awakening is a horrible jolt of reality, going from Lohengrin's arms to the harsh bed of a mental hospital. But for us, after the unusual and disturbing sounds stop emanating from the musicians, we are able to return to a world that makes sense, and revel in reality.–Brett Kostrzewski

KINGSTON, R.I. -- March 25, 2003 -- Hope Valley resident Steve Wilcox knows that commercial fishermen are skeptical of scientists and their claims that many fish stocks have been depleted. But he figured that the only way he could have a positive impact on the local fishing industry was to become a fisheries scientist himself.
When he graduates from the University of Rhode Island in May, he will be on his way toward achieving his goal.
"The fishing life is never the same," Wilcox said. "You want to get out of bed each morning to see what the day will bring you. It lacks the monotony that many other jobs have."
He should know. His father is a commercial lobsterman, and Wilcox worked with him for several years. He also dug quahogs during summer vacations and used that income to finance his college education.
Since last fall, Wilcox has worked as a research assistant with URI research associate Kathy Castro and others conducting tagging and recapture studies of lobsters and black sea bass. He has also studied shell disease in captive lobsters and lobster molting as part of a lobster restoration project in Narragansett Bay and surrounding waters.
In the latter study, Wilcox evaluated the shells of lobsters that were restocked following the North Cape oil spill in 1996. These restocked lobsters were not supposed to be captured and sold for at least a year, so a small v-notch was made in their tails so fishermen could identify them as such. But when the lobsters molt, they can partially heel wounds, including the v-notch.
"The question is whether the lobster gets a chance to reproduce prior to being susceptible to harvest again," Wilcox explained. "If the lobster molts, I want to know if the new, partially regenerated notch still protects it from harvest. If it doesnt, then the lobster is legal to take without serving its restocking purpose, meaning it molts and is captured before it has had the opportunity to reproduce.
"This research is especially meaningful to me," added the URI senior, "because it really affects me and my family. With my education, I hope to give back to the industry that has given me such a great opportunity."
Following graduation, Wilcox hopes to work as a fisheries scientist and "make a difference in the long run. I want to get a job where I can be involved in the entire scientific process. Too often, one person researches what gear is needed, a different person then builds the gear, a different group does the research, another then collects the data, and someone else analyzes the data. This seems to be where most of the scientific data has its validity questioned."
Wilcox also intends to continue fishing in his spare time. "Most people go to Florida or somewhere warm for spring break, and instead I was out there lobstering in 10 degree weather with ice forming on the boat as we hauled. But thats what I want to be doing. Thats vacation to me."

JAXP 1.4 with Java 5? [SOLVED]
Hello everyone,
I identified some problems with my application with JAXP 1.3 which are solved with JAXP 1.4. However, the target platform is Java 5. So: How can I use JAXP 1.4 with Java 5?
Thank you.
Message was edited by: mpetersen
Use the endorsed mechanism [1], download jaxp jars from jaxp.dev.java.net and put them under:
Or use the bootclasspath option, sth like this:
-Xbootclasspath/p:${jaxp jar dir}/jaxp-api.jar:${jaxp jar dir}/jaxp-ri.jar

MADISON - Attorneys for the Wisconsin Department of Justice acting as special prosecutors for Outagamie County, moved to dismiss charges against Attorney Thomas Zoesch, on Friday March 19, 2010 before the Honorable Philip M. Kirk, presiding in Outagamie County Circuit Court. Based on the discovery of new information from the extensive investigation conducted by the City of Appleton Police Department, the state's attorneys concluded that the criminal charges filed against the defendant cannot be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Judge Kirk granted the state's motion and released Zoesch from the conditions of his bond.
Assistant Attorneys General Eric Defort and Dennis Krueger represent the state in this matter.

Manager Paul Ince was sacked as manager on Tuesday following a poor run of form in the Championship, casting greater uncertainty over the future of his son.
Tom Ince will be out of contract in the summer and has been linked with a move away from Bloomfield Road for some time, with a number of sides thought to be interested in securing his services.
Swansea City, Everton and Crystal Palace are among those monitoring the situation, while speculation has also suggested that Monaco are keen to strike a deal.
Oyston says there have been no bids yet for the 21-year-old and he is not sure if anyone will make contact before the end of January.
If there is to be no transfer this month, the club will have to wait until the summer to see if the player wants to stay or go.
"There are three options, all of which we are okay with," Oyston told Sky Sports News.
"We were very open and up front with Tom about that, and vice-versa I have to say.
"That is a decision for other clubs. If anyone wants to take any of our players, then they will be in touch, but we have had no formal contact yet."

Yarmouth graffiti tradition wears thin with some residents
YARMOUTH — John Holmes was driving on the new Exit 15 interchange of Interstate 295 when he noticed graffiti on the rock wall that flanks the exit ramp.
He was not pleased.
"I was fit to be tied," Holmes said last week. "I felt personally attacked."
Holmes and several other Yarmouth residents brought the issue to the attention of the Maine Department of Transportation, and now the graffiti – which says "YHS 13," presumably an ode to Yarmouth High School's Class of 2013 – is scheduled to be removed this week.
Ending a tagging tradition for the high school graduating classes, however, may prove more difficult.
Recent graduates of Yarmouth High School have been painting similar messages around Exit 15 for decades. Students from North Yarmouth Academy and Greely High School have done the same thing, YHS Principal Ted Hall said.
But the $6.1 million construction project that created a new, northbound on-ramp this year has made the presence of graffiti appear more egregious to some residents.
"Come to my town, we're good people, but don't mind that 4-foot-wide, YHS graffiti tag on the brand new rock wall," Holmes said facetiously. "This is not some places in York County, where you might expect it."
The DOT uses a soda blasting machine for graffiti removal, said Timothy Cusick, superintendent of operations for the department's Region 1. The process usually takes a couple of hours, but that can vary significantly based on the paints and surfaces involved.
Graffiti removal is not a high priority for the DOT, unless there's an offensive word involved, Cusick said. In this case, the volume of complaints required action.
"There are costs involved," Cusick said. "The stuff we buy for the machine isn't overly expensive, but it's time-consuming, and that's the problem. We could tie a crew up there for a few days when they should be doing more important work."
Holmes said when he spoke informally about the matter to the Yarmouth Police Department, he was told the graffiti was a time-honored tradition, just kids being kids.
But Holmes doesn't agree. He called the Exit 15 interchange the "gateway" to Yarmouth, and said it should be treated with respect. He'd like to see some justice.
"It's kids being stupid kids," said Holmes, who owns Gulf of Maine Yacht Sales and sent two children through the Yarmouth school system. "Not that we're going to draw and quarter this guy, I'm not looking for anybody to get fined, but I want them to be embarrassed, big time. And I want other people to see that this kid, or kids, have been singled out for something they shouldn't have done. Learn a lesson from somebody else's bad behavior."
The fact that these annual acts of vandalism are committed by high school graduates makes it harder for the school to get involved, Hall said.
"We have no jurisdiction over kids who have graduated," he said.
"I'm not saying it's a great tradition, because I think it's pretty ugly, frankly, but it's something that has always appeared after graduation and it's stayed up there for years," Hall said.
Hall said the school has not addressed the issue with students, but that perhaps it would as graduation draws closer. He said he didn't know who was responsible for the most recent graffiti.
Next to the YHS 13 tag, in smaller letters, there is more spray painted text. It reads, "PAR 2." Holmes embarked on some detective work, but said he found that no member of the Class of 2013 had the initials PAR. (As slang, PAR also means "something to be expected" or a sign of disrespect.)
For now, he'll have to satisfy himself with the knowledge that his concerns have been heard and are being acted upon.
At least, until next time.
"If they do it again after we clean it, we'll attack it again, eventually," Cusick, of the DOT, said. "But we won't rush right back out there. We'll notify the police and see if they can find out who's doing it. Kids aren't quiet. They always brag to their buddies."

Some incidents are really tough to explain in words. Some things happen in our life which gives us immense pleasure and have some different meaning as well. The incident which I am describing out here is that I became Father.
Becoming father was not a big deal, but to become a father of a girl child is itself a big-big deal for me. It was one of my all time desires that I should have the daughter. It's a fact that I decided her name even before she came into existence.
So, it was 7:22 PM on 27th of September 2012, when I got the news (though I got the news at around 8:35 PM, as I was in flight and my cell phone was switched off that time), which delighted me from every angle. The immense happiness which it gives to me is too hard to explain in words.
One of the biggest reasons why I said that I become complete is that with the birth of Garima Vats, I think that I gave the ultimate happiness to my parents as well. Thus the birth of Garima, nicknamed as Pihu, made me completes. I also would like to thank my wife Punam for giving me the best possible gift of my life.
