SwingLabs BOF Presentation
The SwingLabs BOF had a good number of attendees (more than last year I believe). Jan and I focused the update on SwingX, but did speak about JXLayer some. We also announced the release of version 1.6.2. As promised, I have uploaded the presentation.
All in all, I think it has been a very positive convention for SwingX (so far). I spoke about SwingLabs/SwingX at the end of the "Meet the Abstract Window Toolkit, Swing, Java 2D, and il8n" BOF and it was mentioned in some other talks I've attended. Given the announcement of JavaFX 2.0, I think SwingX will need to play a more important role in the future of Swing development.
As always, the best place to give feedback and comments on SwingLabs is on our forum.

Top 10 Letters
Giants, toasters, Bobos, crooked senators, and more.

This should come as no surprise to any of us, though. A stuffed ballot box has won many a Democratic seat. From JFK's questionable victory in Illinois in 1960, to the Maryland governor's race in 1994, to the numerous charges of impropriety in the various states in 2000, to the new scandal in the South Dakota Indian Reservations, the Democrats have never been loathe to resort to illegal means to win elections.
The fact that Schumer and Clinton opposed a bill that would make it easier to verify the identity of voters and prevent phony votes from hitting the ballot box just confirms what many of us already knew. The left doesn't care about the law, and they will do anything they can to prevent its reasonable and effective enforcement.
--Peter Byrnes
As a middle aged user of file sharing technology, I wanted to point out to Lee Bockhorn how the recording industry has used technology to increase its sales and profits (MP3 and Me).
Before I was aware of the commercial aspects of the entertainment business, music was sold in the form of 78 rpm records. As a kid the 45 rpm single was the way music was marketed. Hi-Fi (high fidelity) was the rage. Then came the 33 1/3 rpm lp (long playing) album and stereo. Next, came 4 track tapes; followed by 8 track tapes, etc.
My point is this: As the technology changes, to enjoy your favorite artist in the new medium, you were required to purchase the vehicle (lp record, 8 track tape, CD, etc.) associated with the new technology. I have personally paid royalties to several artists multiple times to hear the same song. The only thing differing in the purchase was the medium on which the song was recorded. As I did this, the record companies never offered to rebate the royalties previously paid. In fact, they are even now using the cash paid by consumers to develop new technologies that will render the older technologies "obsolete." The new technology will then be used to extract even more cash from consumers.
MP3's and file sharing are a way to break this cycle of expendable technology on which the recording industry grows ever richer (by the way, I have nothing against being wealthy). I will continue to use file sharing as long as it is available. I might even be willing to pay to use this technology if the choice of artists and music were expanded.

I have a us dot number but I guess it is not registered to go into different states??? $150 ticket.
Then when my guy gets up to Gary IN, the two guys that sold the t180 to me on ebay robbed him at gun point of the cash, took my gps from the truck, took the keys, took my guy's wallet, took the keys to the truck. He got a neighbor to call the police, it took them 2 hours to show up. An officer is never around when you need them.

Editor's Note: Check out this GlobalPost blog for more offbeat global news.
A preschool in Sweden wants to eliminate gender bias by referring to children as "friends," instead of girls and boys, and avoiding gender-specific pronouns such as "him" or "her."
At the taxpayer-funded "Egalia" preschool in Stockholm, which opened last year for children ages 1-6, boys and girls play together with a toy kitchen, which is located next to the Lego bricks, the Associated Press reports.
They read books featuring gay and lesbian couples, single parents and adopted children, instead of fairy tales such as "Cinderella" or "Snow White," which are rife with gender stereotypes.
School staff try to avoid masculine and feminine references in their speech, for example by not using the Swedish pronouns "han" or "hon" for him or her, and instead using the genderless word "hen," which doesn't formally exist in the Swedish language.
"Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing," teacher Jenny Johnsson told the AP. "Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be."
A 2010 report by the World Economic Forum on the global gender gap found that Sweden and three other Nordic countries lead the world when it comes to gender equality. Sweden is also considered a pioneer in legalizing gay and lesbian partnerships.
A Canadian couple recently drew international attention for their decision to try and raise a genderless baby by not telling anyone whether their child is a boy or girl.
When Storm was born, the couple from Toronto told friends and family that they had decided not to share the baby's sex.
Read: Penguin lost in New Zealand offered a ride home.
"When the baby comes out, even the people who love you the most and know you so intimately, the first question they ask is, 'Is it a girl or a boy?'" mother Kathy Witterick explained to the Toronto Star. "If you really want to get to know someone, you don't ask what's between their legs."
Storm's brothers Jazz, 5, and Kio, 2, choose their own clothes and hairstyles. Jazz prefers to wear his hair long and in three braids, and his favorite color is pink.

Too reminiscent to the WW2 Germans use of Comrade to find comfort in this trend.
uhhh.... it was the Communists that refer to people as "comrade", not the Nazis
uhhhh. Nazis did say "Hail Hitler" 20 times a day though, instead of Good Morning Sir, Have a Great Day Mam, Hi, How Are You?... Or modern day Swedes are saying "I think I drank too much coffee and have to go to FRIEND'S ROOM!!!" OR "WOW look at that beautiful FRIEND in that red bikini"... Get it???
Just read the comments, and it seems to me that a lot of people here have misunderstood the whole idea. They don't force kids to be gay or anything like that, they simply treat kids of both genders equally. The idea that this method would confuse the children due to them not being able to tell the difference between boys and girls is absurd. The children still still learn these words at home, they're just not forced into a life where the people around them focus on their sex, but on their personal qualities instead.
There's nothing wrong with treating both genders equally and kids should be allowed to play with any toys or participate in any type of activities they want to do. But should you go as far as to not allow children to refer to each other as he/she and instead use 'it', or even encourage calling a classmate as 'it'? Absolutely absurd. That is when the line has been crossed and by some distance. Do you also think we should also ban fairy tale stories and movies since they promote 'gender stereotypes'. Maybe we should close down Disney as well.
Girls are Girls, Boys are Boys. I wonder what the majority of Swede's think about their money being wasted for this sick experiment.
Closing down Disney would be a good start to doing away with stereotypes and prejudices :)
I think you misread something here, they don't forbid the children to refer to others as boys or girls. It's the teachers that aren't to use words like boys and girls so much.
The bottom line is that they still discourage the kids to call their classmates as girls and boys like the rest of society and the rest of the world. There are other ways to help children treat each other equally rather than try this destructive experiment. The parents who have enrolled their children into this so-called "pre-school" must have lost their minds.
You're right. What's funny is that the only one making an issue out of the children's gender is them, yet somehow they're doing this to promote "tolerance".
No they're trying to promote destructive behavior in young children. Because they're indoctrinating children into believing that "being an individual" has to do simply with one's gender, rather than one's moral character. They're promoting behavior which has no purpose other than just to "stand out aesthetically' – so ironically these people are promoting the idea that one's level of "effeminacy/masculinity" matters – they're just doing it in the opposite way – and to a much higher degree than the average person or family.
That's the thing, they don't discourage the kids to call their classmates boys or girls. And in what way is this a "destructive experiment"? You're gonna have to come up with some better arguments to prove your statement.
I would guess you are a liberal. I bet if babies, boys and girls were left alone without male-dominated philosophy influences on them that boys and girls will grow-up to be the same or with very little differences. As a liberal, I bet you also believe that chimps and guerillas are our cousins. Well, I am sorry to tell you that their society also mimics ours. As does most mamals (except for the hyena, I will give you this one). So, all of you liberals and feminists trying to change our society and come-up with new ways to change the human society and its order is actually going against the nature and its natural order. This is why a school like this is dangerous and unnatural.
Nature is flawed in so many ways. Just because nature works one way, doesn't mean we should follow its example. We're trying to teach equality, tolerance, and respect. That such things do not arise in nature in the ways we are seeking is irrelevant to the virtue of the goal.
Well dude, even as a non-liberal here who is against this idea of "indoctrinating kids into individualism", if you're going to deny the theory of evolution then you're destroying any credibility your point otherwise had – so please do us a favor and quit making our side look stupid.
And yes, evolution is a scientifically proven fact, agreed upon by 99.995% of all scientists in the world, and accepted by 75% of Christians as well – and has been proven fact for over 200 years – and there isn't anymore of an actual scientific "case" against evolution (just a political one) than there is for the earth being flat, or the sun and planets revolving around the earth (Christians used to believe those too). If you heard something different from AnswersInGenesis, Discovery Institute, or DrDino.com, then it was a lie.
Case closed.
Response to SamK:
I never said evolution was false. I believe in evolution, and I agree with you that it is as close to fact as any scientific theory can hope to be (although you do misuse several terms – science can never prove anything. I will let this slide).
However, I do reject evolution as a defence for any ethical stance. That evolution chose a particular feature or mannerism means only that it was good for surviving long enough to reproduce. Human society is well beyond that. If evolution provided us with some notion of gender, it was in the context of a hunter/gatherer lifestyle. It is meaningless in modern society.
Another behaviour which was popular for reproduction and often favoured by evolution is rape. We pretty universally agree that this is a reprehensible act. Many would call for the death penalty. Most would agree that a very long prison sentence is not too high a price to pay.
Also, please do not build strawmen. It was ridiculous of you to jump to the conclusion that I am a Creationist, and you did so merely so you could attack that position rather than my own. All this does is demonstrate that you believe I'm wrong, but can't figure out how. It's a weak fallacy, and in the end only harms your case.
Belle, SamK was talking about Jay writing about creationism and being a creationist, not you.
WOW! After reading all the comments, we have a bunch of paranoid people reading CNN today. :3
These phrases might be old fashion, but
#1 Where there is smoke, there is a fire.
#2 When farts start, there usually is shit that will soon follow.
Not scientific, but hopefully you get the point.
They are not saying children shouldn't have a gender, but that they should discover it on their own. A few simple steps, such as using gender-neutral pronouns and identifiers, can help to avoid foisting a biologically-determined gender identity upon them. Why are people so afraid of people being who they want, rather than who you want?
As for this being an attempt at emasculation, you do know that there are about as many FTMs out there as MTFs, don't you? You probably don't notice because they're not as prominent in the media, and they tend to pass better under hormone therapy, but the numbers are pretty close. Encouraging people to explore and identify their own gender does not rob masculinity of precious members.
It's easy to discover your gender:
1. Look between your legs.
2. If there's a penis, you're a boy. If there's a vagina, you're a girl.
3. Simple as that.
Biology IS what determines gender – it's a scientific fact. Saying that people need to discover their "non-biologically determined gender" is an oxymoron, and it's absurd. It would be like me "deciding" what my ethnicity is. I'm Irish, but I guess you think that if I say that i "feel" more Chinese (as if I'd actually know what it means to "feel" Chinese), that that would make me Chinese. Lmao...
Sex and gender are very different. Sex is a description of one's body, and is not binary. There are people with ambiguous genitals, or whose external genitals do not "match" their reproductive systems.
Gender is a social construct. Descriptions like "man", "woman", "girl", and "boy" are comments on a person's gender (although they are often misused by those who do not recognise the distinction).
The idea that gender and sex are indistinct is unscientific. A theory cannot stand contrary to evidence, and there are millions of people who stand contrary to that idea, myself among them. You can't insist that reality is on your side when there are people right here, typing a response to you, who clearly defy your idea of reality.
This fact has been recognised by the medical profession. This is why we have guidelines to help people transition, rather than try to force them back into the box we think they belong in. The vast majority of academics who study gender and sexuality recognise that gender and sex must be distinct and non-binary to properly describe the human condition – otherwise it's simply ineffective.
As for your comparison with race, one's race is actually biologically determined. To be Chinese means something about your genetic makeup, and certain aspects of your physiology. I do know someone who was adopted by a culture other than their own, and identifies as a member of that race.
Belle: just wanted to say I agree with every one of your comments/replies to comments to this article that I have read so far.
Genetalia really shouldn't define a person as much as the person defines the person. What is truly confusing is being raised in a limited image of how society dictates one should be, and having it conflict with how you feel you should be. We're all born naked, the rest is drag. :)
And how would they discover it???
Child: Mommy, mommy, who am I?
Mom: Wait till you turn 18, then you will figure out yourself, child.
Crazy World!!!
Indoctrination at its finest. This is no better than what young earth creationists do to their children.
And there's no purpose in this at all. If a parent raises their child well, and develops their character, then it doesn't matter in the real world whether they like dolls or action figures or not – these guys are the ones making the big deal out of that.
Oh and guys (and girls) who have proper character developed do gravitate towards sports or activities that require ambition – the idea that all activities and lifestyles are "equal" is just BS designed to make lazy people feel better. For example – If a guy eats 5 Big Macs a day and weighs 500lbs, then that IS for a FACT an unhealthier lifestyle than what a fitness guru lives – it's not just a "lifestyle difference". As an adult, if someone wants to live that way then it is their right sure, but calling a duck a duck is not being "intolerant", it's being honest.
Can't tell if trolling...
This is the future. Time to wake up to all the illusions we've created and get back to our primal natural selves. and start over.
Stop demasculating boys.
Stop replying without reading the article and comprehending what is actually being done.
In Stockholm's spas it's not unusual to see a class of 7-year olds sitting side by side in a sauna, naked of course. I always thought it's healthy and natural and innocent especially comparing this to USA beach baby-girls in swimsuits covering their nonexistent breasts. Now, those graduated from the "advanced" sexless kindergarden finally see (if they didn't this already sitting on their pots) say, sit side by side in a sauna – wouldn't they be curious about their differences? Would this curiosity be healthy and innocent? Would they as teenagers ask questions why adults lied to them and what for?
I know many examples of young women in Sweden being critically unhappy in their private lives exactly due to the feministic models so forcefully imposed upon them because it IS a lie that gender roles do not matter, it IS a lie that only in a genderless society women can be equal to men and that they can be free only being gender-free. The logic is perversive to me.
It's absolutely ridiculous that everyone is flipping out over something that should be benificial for children. I grew up in a Catholic gender-biased home and I'm a bigender pansexual. I still have problems accepting it thought most of my friends know about it. Gender and Sex are two COMPLETELY different things. I think that if you get rid of gender bias, you promote equality. It isn't right for anyone to shover their ideals down each others throats. If you want to be a cisgendered heterosexual, fine. Great. But don't try convincing other people about how it's the "right" and "moral" thing to do. That's just a bunch of bull. I think that once we move past all our predjudices, we can stop hating each other.
We are all human beings and lables and boundaries only harm. I want to live in a world where it's safe to be yourself. For someone to say to me "You can't marry her because it's not morally right" is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Marriage should not only be between a man and a woman just because a bunch of people believe it's only for the purpose of procreating. There are legal and sentimental reasons for marriage as well. Marriage should not be about procreating. It should be about mutual love and respect. The sooner we move past these gender sterotypes, the better.
What right does anyone have to take away my civil rights? I am a human being and I deserve to be treated with respect. I don't want to be judged and catagorized just because I have the sexual organs of a female. I want the respect of a fellow human being. What these people are doing could be risky, but their hearts and minds are in the right place. I do believe they should make things a little more open to both homosexuality and heterosexuality. But as for the banning of those books, I don't think they could have made a wiser choice. And it's not so much a damaging experiance for the child unless the parents give conflicting veiws and opinions. And for so many people to regect the idea becuase they feel that without being a majority in society they will lose their power, you;d better get used to the idea because the minority will become the next majority in the future.
Civil Rights do not give rights for anyone to do everything they want: Can a person marry an animal? Can a full grown person marry a 5 year old? NO. But you would argue as human beings we should not have barriers and limitations? NO, you are wrong. Only reason why you can flirt with the fringes is because we have (or used to have) a decent base. God, country, family and our rights under the umbrella of the ultimate 3 (G, C, F) Before you go crazy about religion and all its destructiveness... I am not trying to debate the issue of religion.
Most societies, religions, law of nature (in most cases among the primates and other intelligent mamals...), and even logic teaches us the order of boys and girls are to grow up to be men and women, as the opposites attract, a man and a woman marry each other begin a family, children are born and the cycle repeats itself. I know that there are minor variations to this and that is fine as long as the majority is not threatened or harmed. Well, this case of boys and girls being taught by adults to alter the law of __________, is threatening and harmful.
If we are so equal as you suggest, logic teaches us everything we do and the lives of all human beings MUST be equal. Perhaps pregnancy should be in rotation? As well as menstruation-every month rotation? Equality dictates sports teams or competitions must be won by the very best athlete/team/performances under the agreed rules-why are girls able to participate in boys football, baseball, and even wrestling, yet boys cannot join the girl's soccer, softball, swimming... In golf, Michelle Wie and Anika Sorentrom can participate in PGA, but no man can play in LPGA. Is this the meaning of equality to you? I'm sure you get the point. The point is that we ARE different and that is what makes the world go around!!! IF we left our children alone (from birth), and let them grow up with absolutely no interventions, do you wonder how they would grow-up and how the society will form? I know exactly how it will turn out, just look at your cousins: the chimps (98% genetical match with us). They know the differences of sexes and the roles for each sexes, why don;t you? Why doesn't the crazy preschool in Sweden?
At the risk of offending someone which is highly likely considering the diversity in the world we seem to be in such a rush to rid ourselves of the two genders we have in our world we blind ourselves to the beauty of this diversity
There's not much diversity in a gender binary. Step outside it, and see the wise range of gender expressions in those who are not comfortable with their assigned gender, and you may appreciate the diversity of gender.
"If you really want to get to know someone, you don't ask what's between their legs."
That is a stupid statement. The reason people ask the gender of a baby is to know whether it's male or female. If there is so much crazy, paranoid thinking about the difference being irrelevant, why not just surgically remove all genitalia and close it all up, leaving a colostomy style apparatus for elimination of waste matter?
Anyone else seeing the total insanity here?
Strange but I was thinking that surgical removal of all visible signs of gender being removed at birth if not before birth would be the next evolutionary step with gender neurtal thinking. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone or Out of Limits. This is all about control, they reject stereotypes to create a different type of stereo type. They are insane.....! Also, when did it become a BAD thing to be a BOY or a GIRL or a MAN or a WOMAN? When did it become BAD to be a Normal Human Being, male or female and occasionally by nature ambiguous? Imposed neutrality and imposed equality are just a different type of InJustice. Basically they are saying to these kids "You are unworthy of being what God and or Nature made you and we are going to make you over In What We Think Is A Perfected Image." There has to be something mentally wrong when people refuse to accept themselves and others, especially children, as they were created and want to change them to be what they are not. I don't understand, don't want to try to understand because I understand it to be SENSELESS. Also I refuse to be made and or forced to understand.
Did you even read the article?
Why is it that nobody can be defined. Men and women are different physically, emotionally, psycologically. Evolution has differed the sexes. Whether or not you think you're protecting kids from whatever evils come from being called a boy or a girl, their differences will still exist and they will be even more confused when they get to that curious age than they would have been otherwise. Instead of acting like we have no differences, explore why we are different and teach them that it is normal.
See other comments for the difference between gender and sex.
It is Not Evil to be a Boy or a Girl, a Male or Female, or a Man or a Woman. We are born with gender, to deny and or ignore it is irrational.
No one's denying it. They're merely refraining from assuming.
Why the hell are people so close minded?
"When the baby comes out, even the people who love you the most and know you so intimately, the first question they ask is, 'Is it a girl or a boy?'" mother Kathy Witterick explained to the Toronto Star. "If you really want to get to know someone, you don't ask what's between their legs."
Yeah, right that's how it became a parent, it didn't ask what was between it's mate's legs. For Goodness sakes if we go through life not categorizing how can we survive?
I consider myself a fairly liberal person, but I find this whole 'experiment' ridiculous. The world that we find ourselves is not perfect, and it never will be. A small percentage of people will be homosexuals, and I don't see any benefit in pressuring them to conform or trying to punish them in some way. Having said that though, I see no benefit in allowing a couple of 'imbeciles' to decide that millions of years of evolution is wrong, all human societies are wrong – and we should start addressing boys and girls in a gender neutral manner. What the heck is the point in that, except to try and create confusion in the child's mind? Ultimately this experiment will fail, because guess what – boys will be boys, and girls will be girls.
"millions of years of evolution is wrong"
Evolution had nothing to do with gendered pronouns.
"all human societies are wrong"
Most human societies have been wrong about slavery.
"What the heck is the point in that, except to try and create confusion in the child's mind?"
To avoid reinforcing gender stereotypes and to allow children to discover their own identity, thus helping to alleviate confusion in the child's mind when their identity does not sufficiently align with what society says they should be.
"boys will be boys, and girls will be girls"
And both will be both, and others will be others, and often the people who fall into these categories are not those we expected at birth.
So, where does it end Belle? When we become non-gender & non-sex distinctive society, what is next? Beastility? Android sex? Pedophilia? Do you see why the base (hetrosexuals) has problems of the fringes? Because there is no end. Therefore, accept the rights and laws of today and stop with this Gay Marriages (call it whatever else) and this Gender Eraser (one and two are both numbers but different value, one is great as #1, but two is a better as $2... it is all relative, just don't say 1 is 2 and 2 is one). The humanity has to have a base, the center, the normalcy, and the sun WILL rise from the East in the morning.
Well this should keep the shrinks in business .

Why in the hell are we letting the hippies win people? We can't let this become the norm or we are going to have to deal with a bunch of confused kids who have no idea who they are.
I think boys and girls are very different not just plsaicylhy, but emotionally as well. They like different things, respond to events differently and are wonderful in their own unique and separate ways. While this school and parents who raise their kids in this manner are trying to celebrate their child's diversity are really creating a system that molds kids together to be the same. I also believe it is extremely dangerous to experiment with children, which is what this school and many parents are doing. They are trying new methods to parenting that have not shown themselves to be effective and they are trusting in something that they believe will have a positive effect when it can very easily ruin these children's lives.
Good post. I study one thing more challenging on different blogs everyday. It can at all times be stimulating to read content material from different writers and apply slightly something from their store. I'd want to use some with the content material on my weblog whether you don't mind. Natually I'll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
Pure insanity.
good stuff :P really appreciated this article, i'm going to read a little more in your website after i'm finished with work! :P
Nothing shocking about this. Sweden also has a feminist political party that wants to make it illegal for men to urinate while standing up. I'M NOT KIDDING. You have to wonder if this school has adopted this absurdity.
I'll right away grab your rss as I can not find your email subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service. Do you've any? Please let me recognize in order that I may just subscribe. Thanks.
This website was... how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally
I've found something which helped me. Thanks a lot!

MASSENA - Five Massena Central School fall sports teams have been recognized by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association for their achievements in the classroom.
Athletic Director Timothy J. Hayes told board of education members Thursday night that all five of the fall teams were recognized by the NYSPHSAA for being Scholar Athlete Teams. At the end of each sport season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams that excel in the classroom.
We always read in the paper about their accomplishments in each sport, but seldom do we hear about what they do in the classroom. This speaks about how sports help them in the classroom, Mr. Hayes said.
Massenas swim team carried a cumulative 95.64 average, while girls soccer was 94.775, volleyball was 94.23, football was 93.58 and boys soccer was 92.9.
Several members of the swim team were on hand Thursday night to be recognized for their efforts. The team included Emma OConnell, Kalie Peets, Abigail Elman, Ashna Gupta, Emily Hurlbut, Baylee Carroll, Courtney Croasdaile, Taylor Brault, Makenzie LaBrake, Mackenzie LePage, Kurstin Stowell, Sydney Shadle and Kaitlyn Northrop.
Mr. Hayes said what the students achieved was noteworthy. Each sport has a set number required to be used and the average has to remain above 90 for that marking period.
All five of our teams were recognized by the NYSPHSAA for being Scholar Athlete Teams. This is the first time in several years that all five of these teams qualified. If all of our varsity teams qualify, we will become a school of distinction. The ultimate would be to have all of our varsity teams (qualify). Hopefully we can continue that, he said.
In addition, 142 out of the 222 high school athletes - 64 percent - were also recognized as Academic All Northerns. Mr. Hayes said in order to be recognized students must have an 88 cumulative average, be on a varsity team and be in at least the 10th grade.
Two music students - Daniel Elman and Drake Tubbs - were also recognized Thursday night for their achievements. They were selected to participate in the 2014 New York State Bband Directors Association High School Honors Band. Mr. Elman plays the oboe and Mr. Tubbs plays the tuba.
Principal Patrick J. Farrand said the NYSBDA High School Honors Band is an opportunity for exceptional students in instrumental music performance.
He explained that each year a committee selects high school students based on their annual New York State School Music Association solo competition ratings and director recommendations. What evolves is one single concert band featuring the best high school instrumental musicians in the state.
A symposium is held each March to help celebrate the national Music In Our Schools Month, and Mr. Elman and Mr. Tubbs will spend three days rehearing in Liverpool with other selected high school musicians and a highly recognized band director.
It culminates with a concert on the final afternoon of the symposium.
This application and audition process is quite intensive, with only the top students in the state being selected to participate, Mr. Farrand said.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this little tidbit, Ex Bootneck but that may startle and surprise some to realize this, but here in America there are those in prison who are actual employees of telemarketing firms…..it's a booming enterprise… such individuals in the American prison system make extra money by doing exactly as you describe in Britain….hey, they also have the highest level of converts to Islam in prisons too…just another little unavoidable factoid….k

Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World (ebook + video)
Here are the top InsideClimate News stories of 2014, hand-picked by our editors—a mix ofebooks, award-winners, most popular, long-form, short takes, graphics and video. Part 1 (Part 2 here):
Keystone XL: Bush's No-Brainer, Obama's Dilemma (ebook)
Keystone and Beyond provides the most definitive account yet of the Keystone XL pipeline saga. It also upends the national debate over the pipeline by tracing its origins to policy decisions made by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in the first months of their administration, and to expectations about energy supply and demand that have turned out to be wrong.
Fracking Boom Spews Toxic Air Emissions on Texas Residents (Winner of Eppy Award)
Texas' air monitoring system is so flawed that the state knows almost nothing about the extent of the pollution in the Eagle Ford. Only five permanent air monitors are installed in the 20,000-square-mile region, and all are at the fringes of the shale play, far from the heavy drilling areas where emissions are highest.
The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is back in full force.
The U.S. House tried for the ninth time Friday to approve the project. It succeeded, though not by enough to override a presidential veto. The Senate's turn is this week.
Here are 23 stories, from an ebook to primers, that will help you navigate the polarized Keystone debate as it heats up—and all the issues on which it touches: our changing energy fortunes, global climate change, pipeline safety, activism and more.
"Keystone and Beyond provides the most definitive account yet of the Keystone XL pipeline saga.

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—InsideClimate News and the Arkansas Times reached the fundraising target for their innovative reporting collaboration after a three-week campaign. Two reporters will soon be on the ground to investigate the causes and consequences of the Exxon pipeline spill in Mayflower, Ark. that occurred last Mar. 29.
The online fundraising effort that raised $26,790 was run on ioby.org, a non-profit crowdfunding platform. About 260 people contributed to the campaign with an average donation of approximately $100.
"It's inspiring to see readers take ownership of the First Amendment," said David Sassoon, publisher of InsideClimate News. "This is the first time we've tried crowdfunding, and we are quite gratified by the response."
BROOKLYN, N.Y.—InsideClimate News this week launched a campaign to raise funds for an innovative national-local reporting collaboration with the Arkansas Times that will investigate the causes and consequences of the Exxon pipeline spill in Mayflower, Ark. on Mar. 29. The campaign is being run on ioby.org, an innovative, non-profit crowdfunding platform.
"We are appealing to our readers to help crowdfund this effort and show that modest donations can have a cumulative impact to improve the public interest," said David Sassoon, publisher of InsideClimate News. "When legacy big media can't cover an important story like this one and give it the attention it deserves, citizens can still take ownership of the first amendment and make sure democracy's job gets done."
As many as 40,000 protesters from 30 states descended on the White House on Sunday and demanded that President Obama kill the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline. By the estimates of organizers, it was the biggest protest march for climate change action in the nation's history.
In about 18 cities from Boston to Los Angeles, thousands more participated in solidarity rallies—and helped garner unusual nationwide media attention for an issue that has typically slipped under the local media radar.
Mitt Romney has vowed to drill the nation's way out of its foreign oil addiction instead of investing in clean fuel technologies—but according to Dan Senor, one of Romney's closest political advisers, that's bad economics.
Senor's 2009 bestseller, "Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle," argues that economies geared toward advancing and adopting new technologies like oil-free cars will transform entire global industries. He says economies focused on traditional oil drilling will continue to generate short-term wealth, but at the cost of innovation.
"You look at some of these countries in the Arab world that are so dependent on oil ... They're being held back by so little innovation in those sectors," Senor said last year in a lecture at the University of Rochester. "The real economic growth is coming in biotech, medical devices, cleantech, greentech, IT."
Senor's argument calls into question the Romney campaign's claim that developing all U.S. carbon energy reserves would spawn an economic resurgence.
Editor's note: This version of the story adds comment from Koch Industries.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) today renewed his request that the House Committee on Energy and Commerce investigate the role of Koch Industries in the Keystone XL pipeline.
Waxman, the ranking minority member of the committee, made his request in a letter to committee chairmen Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.).
Waxman first asked for an investigation in May, when the committee was holding hearings on the Keystone XL, a controversial Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline that would allow as much as 830,000 barrels a day of a particularly dirty form of oil, locked up in Alberta's tar sands, to reach refineries in the Gulf of Mexico.
The controversy over the Kochs and the pipeline was sparked by an InsideClimate News report from February. That analysis, also published on Reuters.com and later cited by various news organizations, found that Koch Industries is deeply involved in the Canadian oil sands trade and is well positioned to benefit if more heavy crude is exported to the United States. The company denied the report, and Waxman subsequently made his own inquiries.
"When I first raised this issue in May, representatives from Koch denied any interest in the pipeline and Chairman Upton called the idea that there could be a link between Koch and the pipeline an 'outrageous accusation' and a 'blatant political sideshow,'" Waxman wrote in his letter. "Recently, however, I have become aware of evidence that appears to contradict the assertions of the Koch representatives and Chairman Upton."
Waxman cites legal papers that a Koch Industries subsidiary, called Flint Hills Resources Canada LP, filed with the Canadian government, recently uncovered by InsideClimate News, in which the company claimed "a direct and substantial interest" in the Keystone XL.

Gain the Confidence You've Always Wanted!
Are your fears or lack of confidence holding you back?
Do you have a fear that stops you from living the life you truly desire? Maybe a fear of flying that prevents you from traveling for work or pleasure? Or a fear of public speaking that stops you from excelling at work or school? Or a fear of heights, bridges, dogs, needles, spiders, snakes, or small confined spaces that interferes with your daily life? Maybe your fear has worsened over time until now it's almost paralyzing?
Do you lack confidence in yourself, so sure you'll fail before you even try that you give up before you begin? Do you stutter or feel awkward when put on the spot? Do you feel like you don't measure up to those around you? Do you settle for less out of life because that's all you feel you deserve or can achieve? Are you freezing up on tests or struggling when you study? Do you need that extra dose of confidence to accomplish your next goal? Look in the mirror:
are you the one standing in your way?
What if you could unlock your own inner feeling of confidence on demand?
Hypnosis is the key to your confidence.
Feelings are not rational. You can't use reason to talk yourself out of feeling afraid or to convince yourself to feel confident. You've probably already tried, and it didn't work. Feelings originate in a different part of the mind, the creative right brain, the part of your mind hypnosis is uniquely adept at accessing. Just like when you're engrossed in a movie and the logical part of your mind realizes that the movie is fake, yet that creative right brain allows you to suspend disbelief and feel real emotions in response to the story.
Using hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming, an offshoot of hypnosis that focuses on how language can affect the mind), you can neutralize the old fears and doubts that held you back and replace them with a powerful feeling of confidence. You can learn to control your state of mind, accessing the right emotions when you need them most.
Finally, break free of your limitations and live the life you want!
Don't settle for less than you deserve. You too can join the THOUSANDS of successful clients who've changed their lives with hypnosis. Read just some of our
success stories
from clients who used hypnosis to improve the quality of their lives. You don't have to let your fears or lack of confidence hold you back... make the call now. You can finally be the confident person you want to be.
No other hypnosis office in Buffalo has as much experience as we do.

So-called 419 scams, named after the section of Nigeria's criminal code that covers the conduct, are the most common type of con; victims are sometimes left penniless.But Metimbers and crew turn the tables on scammers one by one, boomeranging the tricksters' own tactics to entice them into performing outlandish tasks in desperate pursuit of cash -- then trumpeting evidence of the con artists' na�vet� for the online world's amusement.
The group will work to make a scammer believe they have found a potential target, and attempt to convince the scammer to perform ridiculous stunts or even send them money. Of course, this doesn't get the scammer off the Internet, but perhaps could teach them a lesson via this so called "Scambaiting".
Groups like this aren't exactly new. Similar tactics have been employed for quite a while now, and the 419 groups are often the largest and easiest anti-scamming targets. Getting involved in this could easily be dangerous and isn't something the casual net user should participate in, but is fascinating nevertheless and the article is a great read if you like to hear stories of vigilante justice.

Horse Head Squirrel Feeder
As If Squirrels Weren't Entertaining Enough Already...
You have to love the squirrels. They're nature's hustlers, constantly running around looking for food to eat and store. And they'll get that food from anywhere, at any time. That definitely includes this Horse Head Squirrel Feeder, which makes your backyard squirrels look like they're wearing one of those huge horse head masks. It's a party in your backyard, and all the neighborhood squirrels are invited to provide you with endless entertainment!
Hang It Up Easily Anywhere in Your Backyard
The only things you need to make sure you have before buying the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder are a bit of string and the squirrels themselves! The vinyl 6.5'' x 10'' horse head has a tiny hole on top that you can put a piece of string through. Then, hang it up anywhere (not too high for the squirrels to reach – they're only so athletic) and enjoy the show.
Brighten Up Your Mornings
Look, mornings suck. Why anyone ever feels the need to do anything before 11 AM is beyond me. But, people always seem to find reasons to drag us out of bed at ungodly hours (bosses are particularly bad about this). So, when it comes to brightening up mornings, we'll take all the help we can get. If making a hungry squirrel look like he's wearing a gigantic horse head while he's chowing down on breakfast is how we can make mornings a little more bearable, then I'm all for it.

Team Automotive was started on this corner 28 years ago by Mark Andrews with help from his wife Sue and their daughters. Mark was born in Bloomington, graduated BHS and attended Illinois Central College for auto mechanics. He enlisted in the Navy Seabees as a construction mechanic and retired from the Navy Reserve 26 years later as a Chief Petty Officer.
Team outgrew its original building and in the spring of 1998 started construction of the current building while keeping the old one open, what a mess. They moved into the new building in August and have been there since.

Windows XP is an operating system developed by Microsoft and was first released in the year 2001. XP had tremendous success as it was the first consumer oriented operating system developed by Microsoft. This operating system was there for a long time until Windows Vista came to the scene in 2007. Unlike Windows XP, Vista didn't have much of a success and was subjected to a lot of criticism. It was at that time that Microsoft decided to come up with Windows 7 which was released on October 22, 2009. Ever since its release, it has captured the hearts of Windows users because of its user friendliness and cool features. Windows 7 is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit editions.
Even though XP comes in both 32 and 64-bit editions, it is not possible to directly upgrade to Windows 7. To do this, you first need to upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit and then upgrade to Windows 7. However, you will still be able to install Windows 7 on your XP computer through a clean installation. This article contains Windows 7 support instructions for doing the same.
Windows 7 support instructions
What you can find below are the instructions provided by Windows 7 support team which will guide you through the process of upgrading to the Windows 7 64-bit edition.
- Start off by inserting the Windows 7 64-bit installation disc into your DVD drive. Now restart your computer to boot from
CD/DVD. For this to happen, you must configure your boot preference through boot options.
- Go through the initial configuration settings and hit the "Next" button.
- Begin the installation procedure by hitting the "Install Now" button.
- Go through the end user license agreement and select to Agree it. Hit the "Next" button.
- Click on the option labeled "Custom" since you won't be able to use the upgrade option in this situation.
- Select "Drive options" and choose the Windows XP partition. Click on "Format" and hit the "Ok" button for removing all files and folders from the drive. If incase your partition is in FAT32 format, it will now be NTFS. Hit the "Next" button.
- Fill in the user configuration for Windows 7 and hit the "Next" button. Fill in the rest of the fields and hit the "Next" button till you complete the whole installation process.
That's it! Your Windows XP will be upgraded to Windows 7 pro 64 bit edition. Have fun with the new OS!

Several Twitter users have received notifications in which they're told that their passwords have been reset, advising them to select new ones.
The microblogging platform's representatives have told The Inquirer that the emails are legitimate and that those who receive them should click on the links they contain to change their passwords.
Alternatively, they can change the passwords directly from their Twitter accounts by accessing the Settings menu.
The company has started sending out the notifications because it believes that some accounts have been compromised by website or a service that's not associated with Twitter.
While these alerts might be legitimate, users should thoroughly verify any email before rushing to click on a link. Cybercriminals might be leveraging this incident to send out their own notifications.
Be sure to check the sender's address and the URL where the link points to. If it looks suspicious, change your password directly from your Twitter account.

Pinterest Picks: Fashion Crush
One of my favorite (and most followed…so flattering) collections over on Pinterest is my Desired: Wearables & Style board. Obviously I'm particularly fond of it myself, so I thought I'd use this week's Pinterest Picks to spotlight a few of my favorite pins from it. I hope you'll like them too. Do you have a fashion pinboard over on Pinterest? I would love for you to link to it in the comment section here so that I can pop on over for a little visit! xo Ez
P.S. If you'd like to see all of my past Pinterest Picks posts you can find them right here. You can find all my boards on Pinterest, right here.
P.P.S. I also just wanted to let you guys know that we are having a Winter storm blow through Oklahoma right now. These storms tend to knock out power from time to time. So if for some reason during the week I haven't updated and you don't hear from me, you will know why. Fingers crossed that that doesn't happen!
