Into liking you, you
No, I befriended you, I did not hesitate,
I did wait.
Oh, guess I've met you a little late.
How can you stand and
Do you think you're special or unique?
Throw me into utter depression,
Yet, you refuse to tell your confession,
Still asking the same question,
What have I done?
No you're not my number one.
Families defend.
I thought I could depend?
No I was wrong,
You cannot simply belong,
You're a stranger,
A lying, feeling exchanger.
How can someone you trust betray?
They can simply convince you to stay.
No I'm not buoyant,
My friend has been far beyond.
That's when I knew,
I felt that woe,
Has stricken me.
Frightened I think of
what you did,
I can never forgive you, I cannot simply slid,
The past may be gone,
So was our friendship, now you're alone.
I may have been stupid,
But I'll never forget what you did,
Thinking you can get the best of me by a word?
No, that's not our simple world,
I may still hold,
Some memories of our cold,
Deceptive crier,
Needing a hand,
Not knowing you're in the sand.
Oh you remind of a
What was its name? I'm here, don't worry.
Oh I thought you were full of glory,
You enemy, you bully.
You soul
You secret teller,You midnight beguiler.

text: Campaign to Ban Killer Robots launched by Human Rights Watch Technology 24 April 13 by Ian Steadman After months of preparation, Human Rights Watch has launched a global Campaign to Ban Killer Robots, over fears that life-or-death decisions in wars are going to be made by machines instead of humans.The name might sound like a joke, but it's very much a serious endeavour. According to the campaign, which features a coalition of NGOs from around the world (and first announced in February this year), the world is at risk of a "robotic arms race" with "new humanitarian and legal challenges" that could undermine international humanitarian law. The solution is an international ban on them before they're even developed.Steve Goose from Human Rights Watch's arms division said: "Lethal armed robots that could target and kill without any human intervention should never be built. A human should always be 'in-the-loop' when decisions are made on the battlefield. Killer robots would cross moral and legal boundaries, and should be rejected as repugnant to the public conscience."The idea for the ban was first proposed in a report -- "Losing Humanity: the case against killer robots" -- that Human Rights Watch published in November 2012, and after several months of discussions the campaign has actually launched. At the time, the report concluded: "Fully autonomous weapons have the potential to increase harm to civilians during armed conflict. They would be unable to meet basic principles of international humanitarian law, they would undercut other, non-legal safeguards that protect civilians, and they would present obstacles to accountability for any casualties that occur."Recognising that "although fully autonomous weapons do not exist yet, technology is rapidly moving in that direction", it urged states around the world to "review and regulate the development of technology related to robot autonomy [and] in particular, states should prohibit the creation of weapons that have full autonomy to decide when to apply lethal force." That means comprehensive preemptive bans on developing drones that think for themselves.In our December 2012 issue, we covered the work being done to automate some of the decisions a drone operator has to make when it comes to judging terrain, for example. As drones operate at a remove from humans it makes a lot of people uncomfortable, and as humans make fewer and fewer decisions for drones, that discomfort can only increase.On Wired.co.uk, we've covered reactions to drone warfare that reflect how uncomfortable it can make people feel, from the artist who imagined a drone feeling bad about its job to some of the legal moves being made to try and limit the use of drones in domestic airspace in the US. The idea that a drone could eventually act independently of any human operator, making decisions as to who lives and who dies, is a hugely worrying one for many people around the world.In the US, the Department of Defence issued a directive -- number 3000.09 -- on 21 November 2012 that explicitly forbids any fully autonomous systems that use lethal force. While praised as the first example of a moratorium by a national government by the campaign, that directive has a ten-year lifespan, after which a new one may not be issued.Other key nations which are at the forefront of drone technology -- the UK, Israel, China and Russia -- must also make similar decisions, the campaign urges.Image: PJF / Shutterstock.com Edited by Liat Clark Latest on wired.co.uk

ST Phoenix - Vol 1 - The Dream King's Heart
View Single Post
January 31 2013, 10:25 PM
Location: Lyon, France
Re: ST Phoenix - Vol 1 - The Dream King's Heart
Count Zero - Thanks, hope you catch up and let me know what you think!
Chapter 7
Allowing the doors to slide shut behind her, Esala slammed a fist into the nearest bulkhead, cursing Lorns gi Badel and his damned machine.
Two days
, she thought. Two days of questioning, of keeping him off balance, without food and with minimal water, and she had nothing to show for it. The damnable drifter didnt seem to know or care how Andrew, Dalilah and Danterian Ko had vanished off the ship, nor where they had gone. She couldnt work out whether he really had no way of knowing, or whether he just thought that if he held out long enough he would slide right out of phase and out of their lives.
Not if I have anything to do with it.
During those two days, the Phoenix had been slowly falling apart. Without their herder to keep the bioficial intelligence focused, they had lost all ability to communicate with the central core and they were having trouble keeping the ship functioning. Esala knew that in a couple of days, the intelligence would begin to fail. And then Phoenix would die.
The sound of voices caught her attention. She looked up in time to see Kave and Fryr walking down the corridor towards her, deep in conversation. She studied them as they walked towards her. Such a lesson in opposites. Fryr: tall and thin, his dark hair hanging down like curtains on either side of his face, his ears ending in slim pulcan points. Kave: short and squat, powerful muscles rippling, his face and ridged forehead a patchwork of scars acquired in service to his captain, most added since they were exiled to this forsaken part of space. Despite all their differences, they were friends, no matter how much they argued.
They seemed to be in the middle of an argument now. As they drew nearer, she could hear their words clearly.
is just insane. If youre wrong, you could finish what that drifter started.
We do not know for certain that Lorns gi Badel did anything, Fryr retorted. The kaf that Danterian dropped seems much more likely to be responsible for the captains disappearance.
That doesnt mean you will have any more luck using the damned thing than he did. You tell him, Tessi.
She raised an eyebrow. Tell him what.
Fryr thinks he can get the slicer device working.
Can you?
I may be able to, with the help of Ishulak, Bertuun and Parana, he replied, naming the three Wise Men. It should be simple mechanics to repair it, and I certainly understand the theory behind it. With our three navigators to help me make sense of the quantum resonance fields that the device uses to open a door, I believe I can take Phoenix through to the Crimson Queens dominion and recover the captain, Danterian and Dalilah.
Before the ship starts to fall apart around us?
Fryr hesitated. I believe so.
Esala closed her eyes, rubbing at her temples. Thats a lot of ifs and maybes Fryr. By all means, try your best. But I think breaking Lorns is still our best bet.
Any luck?
Come on, she said, indicating that they should follow her. I need some kaf. Ill explain on the way.
All three of them headed down the corridor towards the turbolift.
Hes still holding out. Ive tried everything, including more physical means of questioning, but either he cant help us or he is stronger than he looks. To tell you the truth, I wouldnt be surprised if he isnt playing the time game.
Waiting until his own flux state throws him into another dimension?
Exactly. If we werent so pressed for time, I would take us back to Bastion Shadow and try to negotiate the use of their suppression equipment to make sure he is stuck here. But She shrugged. I dont think we can afford to do that.
Probably not.
They reached the turbolift and the doors slid open. Esala went in first, waiting for Fryr and Kave to join her before instructing it to take them to Deck 4 and the nearest junction to the messhall.
When they arrived, they found the place almost empty. A couple of Mecha-borg technicians and three of Kaves security officers sat around the tables, talking in low voices. All of them looked up when the three officers walked in, and their conversation dropped off for a moment while Esala, Kave and Fryr took their seats.
Moments later, Wicka Bay came barrelling out of the kitchen, a tray in one hand piled with three plates of some kind of steaming vegetables. Not that they would have been recognisable as such by the smell emanating from them. Esala felt her heart sink. When Wicka had offered to replace Danterian in the kitchens, she had looked on it as being one less thing to worry about. She realised now that in fact it might turn into an even bigger problem, if Wicka ended up poisoning the whole crew.
From the looks on the faces of the three security officers, they seemed to be thinking along the same lines. She could swear that one of them actually turned a shade of green when Wicka put down the plates.
What will you have? Wicka asked, coming over to them.
Uhm, I dont think Im hungry, Kave replied, eyeing the stains on Wickas hands.
I believe I feel the same, Fryr added.
Well take three coffees, please, Wicka.
Coming right up.
Glaring at the two men, the mechaborg Bishop turned and headed back into the kitchen.
If shes in here, whos in the engine room? Kave asked.
Wicka has it covered. Shes doing this in her free time, not when she should be working on the engines.
Mighty friendly of her.
Esala nodded, watching Wicka moving through the kitchen with the same determination she showed when trying to beat one of their recalcitrant engines into shape. She feels guilty.
Guilty? About what?
About Pots.
Now why should she Oh.
Esala turned her eyes on Kave. Dont get any ideas about saying anything to her, you got it?
He held up his hands. Wouldnt dream of it.
Esala smirked, turning back to watch Wicka.
She really does care for him
, she thought.
Who would have thought? Old Gertas boy and Wicka Bay.
So, you were telling us about the drifter.
Yes. I dont think hes going to break. Im not giving up, but the more time I spend with him, the more convinced I become that he actually has no idea what happened and why the captain, Pots and Dalilah vanished. And I think hes too scared to try using the machine again.
Which leaves us with..?
With me trying to get something out of him while Fryr concentrates on cracking the slicer.
I was afraid you were going to say that.
Do you doubt my abilities? Fryr asked mildly.
Only your sanity. Still, if anyone is going to get that thing figured out, itll be you.
I applaud your faith in my abilities.
Wicka came bustling out of the kitchen, three cups and a pot of kaf balancing precariously on a tray. All three of them stopped talking as she set everything down and served them. Once she had finished and returned to the kitchen, Esala lifted the cup, cradling it in her palms.
We need to hurry things along, though, Fryr. We cant afford to wait. I want you working on this as your priority, the three Wise Men too.
Kave took a sip of the kaf, his face scrunching up as he smacked his lips. And not just for Phoenix. If we dont get that boy back soon, Im not sure how long we can survive on Wickas cooking.

Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) has stated that it will start charging a fee of $3.95 per month for the modem it provides to its broadband subscribers. [1] For those who wish to buy their own modem, this fee will not be applied.
So far, the company has borne the modem costs in order to promote its broadband services. It appears that the move is motivated by the fact that Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) already charges such a fee and that the broadband demand is strong enough to guarantee that an additional fee will not be a hindrance. Further, this is a smart way for the cable companies to mitigate the margin pressure from increasing pay-TV programming costs.
See our complete analysis for Time Warner Cable
We estimate the broadband business constitutes roughly 30% to Time Warner Cable's value. We further estimate that the average monthly broadband subscription fee per Time Warner Cable subscriber stood at $43 in 2011. This figure was roughly $3 less than the corresponding figure for Comcast. With Time Warner Cable charging a monthly fee for the modem, there is an opportunity to close this gap.
If every broadband subscriber of Time Warner Cable starts paying the monthly modem fee, there could be more than 5% upside to our price estimate based on higher fee per subscriber and slightly higher margins. This implementation will be directly additive to profits since the company has been bearing modem-related costs thus far.
Our price estimate for Time Warner Cable stands at $88, implying a discount of about 10% to the market price.

There are a couple of new shows that the kids and I have been enjoying, and since I recently asked you what you watched as a family, I thought I'd pass these along:
Hole in the Wall
Two years ago (wow-how in the world has it been two years??), I wrote that we had enjoyed watching a few episodes of a game show on Fox called Hole in the Wall. Well, like Wipeout (which I recently watched for the first time), the physical stunts and mishaps are funny, but I could do without the announcer's (off-)"color commentary. When the kids and I saw that Cartoon Network was reviving it in a family version, we were thrilled. It started last week, and we watched, and they are already looking forward to tonight. Even better, it comes on at the family-friendly time of 7:30/6:30 on Wednesdays (which those of us with no DVR and strict bedtimes appreciate!!). You can watch some clips here.
Family Game Night on the Hub
The Hub is a new TV channel that the kids saw advertised (while they were watching TV of course). The new show Family Game Night has been advertised a lot. The network launched 10/10/10, and I think that's when we saw the first episode of Family Game Night. As cable networks often do, the show seems to replay frequently, and Kyle caught it one day after school this week as well. We have Direct TV, but I'm not sure the availability on other cable networks. Family Game Night is a fun show, pitting two families against each other with physical feats, a giant Operation game, Monopoly money, Guesstures and more. The regular showing time is 7:00pm Monday, I believe, which does not work with our schedule, but I'm hoping that we'll be able to catch it on Sundays or late afternoons.

Miners arrives at courtComment on this story
Pretoria - A group of 106 mineworkers arrested in the violence at Lonmin's Marikana mine were brought to the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
They were to be released after their court appearance, said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) North West spokesman Frank Lesenyego.
"Initially, only 102 were scheduled to appear today, but the latest information is that four other (men) have been discharged from hospital and will join the group."
Two more men were still in hospital, and had yet to be released.
Another 162 men were released on Monday.
The 270 were arrested for public violence after the police opened fire on striking mineworkers gathered on a hill in Marikana, killing 34 of them and wounding 78 on August 16.
The were later charged with murdering their colleagues, under common purpose legislation, but the charge has since been withdrawn amid a public outcry.
Announcing the withdrawal of the charges on Sunday, the NPA said the mineworkers would be released on a warning.
The NPA said the public violence case against them would be postponed pending the completion of investigations, including those of a judicial commission of inquiry set up by President Jacob Zuma.
Magistrate Esau Bodigelo warned the first 162 men released not to interfere with the investigation or with any witnesses.
They were also cautioned not to contravene the Public Violence Act, the Gatherings Act, the Dangerous Weapons Act, or the Firearms Control Act.
The workers left Ga-Rankuwa in minibus taxis supplied by Friends of the Youth League, an organisation allied to expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema. - Sapa

WASHINGTON — The Islamic State is a nasty problem that can be remedied if its neighbors, assisted by the United States, decide to do so. Vladimir Putin's fascist revival is a crisis that tests the West's capacity to decide.
Putin's serial amputations of portions of Ukraine, which began with his fait accompli in Crimea, will proceed, and succeed, until his appetite is satiated. Then the real danger will begin.
Suppose Ukraine is merely his overture for the destruction of NATO, the nemesis of his Soviet memory. Then what might be his version of the Gleiwitz radio station episode 75 years ago?
On the evening of Aug. 31, 1939, Nazi SS personnel pretending to be Polish partisans seized the station, which was about four miles inside Germany (Gliwice is now in Poland), proclaiming that Poland was invading Germany to achieve "our just (territorial) claims," and shot a German prisoner dressed in a stolen Polish uniform, giving Hitler his pretext for declaring war the next day.
Putin has discarded the minor inhibitions of what NATO calls his "hybrid war" — giving slightly surreptitious aid to Russian separatists; brazenly infiltrating Russian soldiers in unmarked uniforms. Russia has invaded Ukraine, although the Obama administration likes the semantic anesthesia of calling it an "incursion." Putin does not pretend that it will be, like President Nixon's 1970 "incursion" into Cambodia, temporary.
So, suppose Putin, reprising his Ukrainian success, orchestrates unrest among the Russian-speaking minorities in Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia. Then, recycling Hitler's words that his country "could not remain inactive," Putin invades one of these NATO members. Either NATO invokes Article 5 — an attack on any member is an attack on all — or NATO disappears and the Soviet Union, NATO's original raison d'etre, is avenged.
Although no one more thoroughly detested Hitler's regime that Gen. Erwin Rommel served, Winston Churchill acknowledged in January 1942 in the House of Commons the talent of Britain's enemy: "We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general." Putin is, the West should similarly acknowledge, more talented and dangerous than either Nikita Khrushchev or Leonid Brezhnev. Their truculence was not fueled by fury. Putin's essence is anger. It is a smoldering amalgam of resentment (of Russia's diminishment because of the Soviet Union's collapse), revanchist ambitions (regarding formerly Soviet territories and spheres of influence), cultural loathing (for the pluralism of open societies) and ethnic chauvinism that presages "ethnic cleansing" of non-Russians from portions of Putin's expanding Russia.
This is more than merely the fascist mind; its ethnic-cum-racial component makes it Hitlerian. Hence Putin is "unpredictable" only to those unfamiliar with the 1930s. Regarding the roles of resentment and vengeance, remember where Hitler insisted that France formally capitulate in 1940 — in the railroad carriage near the town of Compiegne, where Germany signed the 1918 armistice.
Since its emancipation by the Soviet Union's demise, Ukraine has been ravaged by corruption that frays national sentiment, which even before this was a tenuous phenomenon.
Ukraine may be an ethnic casserole susceptible to diminishment by Putin's ladle. But the Baltic States, by virtue of their NATO membership, are, regardless of their histories or sociologies, decisively different. And given Putin's animus, nourished by his negligibly resisted success in Ukraine, he is more dangerous than the Islamic State.
U.S. participation in this should be conditional on the regional powers putting their militaries where their mouths (sometimes) are in the fight against radical Islamists. U.S. participation in defense of the Baltic States is unconditional.

I said this before but the comment did not show up. I do agree with Jackie. One of the reasons why Smallville was so successful
Was how long they manage to keep Clarks secret. Between season 1 to 4, a few proleg he to find out but they all either died or memory loss or left. This always kept the tension and excitement going. This is not Banshee, the writers need to pace them selves. They're sucking the excitement out of this show with too much reveal in so little time. Oliver had to be put I'm situations where he'll always run the risk of exposure, that will keep viewers at the edge of their seat.
This might be a bit out there, but I think Walter is probably being held on the Island where Oliver was found. I can see the season ending with Oliver going back to the Island.
And also, something that is bothering me, last I checked, the Island didn't have a tattoo parlour. So where did Oliver her his tattoo. My feeling is he was not always on the Island. Maybe, when he was picked up by the boat, he probably did a Bruce Wayne, went and lived among thieves and criminal. In order to see their way of thinking. Of course, this is a just a theory of mine, what do you guys think?

Via Cascadia Region Green Building Council
At the recent Greenbuild Conference & Expo in Boston, a team from Seattle architecture firm Weber Thompson was awarded first place in the Natural Talent Design Competition, an annual design competition of the USGBC's Emerging Green Builders – the students and young professionals of the green building movement.
The winning entry is called Eco-Laboratory, and it follows the six 'petals' of the Cascadia Region Green Building Council's (CRGBC) Living Building Challenge, which Julia wrote about for Worldchanging last September. The petals are Site, Materials, Energy, Indoor Quality, Water, and Beauty & Inspiration.
The design – from team members Myer Harrell, Dan Albert, Brian Geller, and Christopher Dukehart, is a terrific example of green building technologies and thoughtful site consideration. And, like any winner of a design competition, their boards are gorgeous and well articulated.
I highly encourage you to check out both the Design Narrative and the Boards themselves. A few things worth noting:
• Paying attention to site – the first of the consideration in the Living Building Challenge – is a key component of ecological design and green building. However, it still usually gets short shrift. Especially impressive is the way the building integrates into existing site uses, instead of paving over them.
• The design's emphasis on multiple solutions and multiple technologies is represented in the opening line, "There is no silver bullet for sustainability." This makes the whole project more interesting as an actual move toward sustainability than many 'green' projects that only do one thing – reduce energy use, for example.
• As the CRGBC notes in their description of the project, the ideas stemming from the Living Building Challenge remain mostly demonstrations and prototypes. In an era where this level of green building should be the norm – and in a city that prides itself on its relative 'green-ness' – I feel simultaneously proud that we have these exceptional young designers here, and frustrated that a project like this is still seen as so futuristic.
Congratulations to the winners, and here's hoping we see this project implemented!

I lay you down on a bed of feathers,
You smile and take of my sweater.
Doesn't that feel much better, you ask
My responds,
Aren't we moving a bit to fast?
Oh not yet my dear,
You smile mischievously,
Then kiss me slowly…
You stop and ask…
Do you mind if I take it upon myself
To remove all those layers of clothing?
I smile shyly,
You take control…
I whisper in your ear,
Please be gentle
I lay there while you lead the way,
You ask, any last words you'd like to say,
I pull your ear closer and whisper,
You are my first…
Please don't let it hurt.
Your hands move down to my pants,
I grab them then say,
Why don't you take off yours first…
Before you satisfy your thirst?
As you wish my dear, you say
Just don't deny me this pleasure,
One you forever will treasure.
You lay naked next to me,
Then take my hand and lead it to
A place that feels quite moist,
I blush now more then ever.
You smile and say,
The taste is much sweeter
And push me down,
Hastily I devour your core,
You pull me up and say,
Take your time my love,
Of this you'll never get enough.
Before I know
You push me on my back,
In a blink of an eye I lay there naked,
Exposed to your eyes…
You kiss me in my neck,
Then move your lips towards my ear.
You say…
It's time for your purity's demise…

It is right next to a small, free, beautiful beach and in walking distance from all the tourist-y things in Sorrento (it's a small city). The room was very clean and I got a new towel every day, which has never been my experience with a hostel. "

SILVER CITY >> It was a tale of two games, as the Silver High baseball team routed Deming High in the first, 10-0, and then had to dig deep to capture the second game, 3-2, in eight innings. But, the bottom line, was that the Fighting Colts swept the Wildcats, and improved their record to 8-2 right before district play begins.
In the first contest, hitting was key for Silver. Extra base hits were plentiful, and helped the Colts build a 5-0 lead after the first inning of play. Silver added two in the fourth and then three in the sixth to end the game on the 10-run rule.
Hitting for the Colts were Zack Jasso, 2-for-4, with a triple; Gabe Morales, 1-for-2; Dominic DeMarco, 2-for-3, with a double and a walk; Shakur Martinez, 2-for-2, with a double and two walks; Joe Murillo, 1-for-4, with a double; Shane Perry, 2-for-3, with a walk; and Derek Salas, 2-for-3, with a double.
Murillo picked up the win on the hill, going six innings. He allowed just four hits, while striking out eight batters.
"We hit the ball really well," head coach Claudie Thompson said. "This game was the most complete one we have had all year in all areas. It was one of our better games."
The second contest would boil down to extra innings. With the score knotted at 2-all, Morales doubled and scored the winning run on a walk-off single by Murillo in the bottom of the eighth inning.
"I was proud of the kids in this one," Thompson said. "They found a way to win. I was very pleased with our pitching. It continues to be really consistent."
Silver took a 2-0 lead after the first inning. But, Deming would tie the game with single runs in the fourth and fifth.
Hitting for the Colts were Jasso, 2-for-4; Morales, 1-for-4, with a double; Martinez, 1-for-4; Murillo, 2-for-4, with a triple; Perry, 1-for-3; and Justin Montes, 1-for-3, with a double.
Carlos Vega started the game and went seven innings in the no decision. He struck out 13, while allowing just three hits. Martinez pitched the eighth to get the win, striking out two batters.
Silver will start district play Saturday at the Ben Altamirano Sports Complex with a double header scheduled against Hot Springs beginning at 3 p.m.

MCDONALD, JOHN MATTHEW (1827–1883). John Matthew McDonald, farmer, Confederate officer, state representative, and jurist, was born in Moore County, North Carolina, in 1827, the son of Scottish immigrants. McDonald came to Texas in 1845, settling in Athens, Henderson County. He worked as a lawyer and school teacher. In 1858 McDonald married Mary Ann Elizabeth Prinson; they had ten children. In July 1861 following the outbreak of the Civil War, McDonald volunteered for Confederate service, joining the Henderson County Reserve Company, Thirteenth Brigade of state militia as a third lieutenant. Other sources say he served in Hood's Texas Brigade. Following the war McDonald assumed a prominent role in the community affairs of Henderson County. He served as mayor of Athens, one term as county judge, and four terms as justice of the peace. In 1872 he won election as representative for District Four—comprised of Anderson, Henderson, and Van Zandt counties—to the Thirteenth Texas Legislature. John McDonald died in Henderson County in 1883 and was buried there at Athens City Cemetery. McDonald was a Mason, having served as Master of Athens Lodge No. 165 in 1870.

Texas Longhorns great Vince Young on First Take: "I just want another opportunity"
Out-of-work quarterback Vince Young appeared on ESPN's First Take on Wednesday morning and said he was moving on from his past mistakes — although his well-known financial troubles did not specifically come up — and hopeful for another chance in the NFL.
"My whole thing is I want people to put those old things in the past and give me another opportunity to prove it … that's in the past. I'm married now, have a family, have a responsibility," Young said. "I'm in school now trying to graduate with my Education major.
"A year off definitely helped me to see a lot of things I didn't see while I was out there playing football."
Young worked out at Texas Pro Days last week and said the next step is a private workout. When asked which team would be best for him, Young laughed and said, "The whole NFL."
Young also touched on his prickly relationship with former Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who wasn't onboard with Tennessee drafting the quarterback in 2006.
"I just feel like me and Fisher weren't on the same page, chemistry-wise. All I know is my job was to lead the team from a 4-12 team to what we needed to be … There were a lot of things going on … sometimes I took it in frustration … I felt like he wasn't on my side, but he was on my side, he was just trying to explain to me how to be a professional quarterback."

Hi All
I'm starting with GWT app and was wondering how we would go about binding form fields to form just like
. Say i have a Person object which has name age sex Adress ( which itself has addline1,line2 city and country). Say i were to use this for my page and the generic person details like name age etc displayed as a tree node and the adress details displayed on another node. I need to save/ display these. I know how to do this in struts spring etc but not sure about GWT. I do not want to bind each field like a normal servlet/jsp app by getting it using request params. Also, another issue i foresee is that, say a user enters only name and goes to the address node to fill address, once he come back to the first node, the name he entered should be present.
I need a starting point from which i can take off on my own. Starting to look at editors.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Warm Regards

Hi All
I got the form submit part working. From my form panel, which i named formPanel, all i need to do is to call the submit method.
formPanel.setAction(GWT.getHostPageBaseURL()+ "myGWTApp/testSave"); formPanel.submit();
All widgets whose name is set using the widget.setName("shouldMatchAttributeNameOfDTO") matches that of the DTO will get set in the respective attributes. As we used Spring, all i had to do in my controller is to write a method
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/testSave") public String testSave(@ModelAttribute("formPanel" ) Person person) { // Code to save data goes here }
where Person is the data transfer object.
However, i where i am still stuck is holding the data in my 2 panels. My First panel has generic info about a person like name age etc and the second panel has address details. I am able to save both panels individually, but if i enter data in my first panel and traverse to the address panel, only the address portion gets saved. I also loose the data which i enter in the panel once i navigate to the other panel.
If someone has thoughts on how to do this, i would be most eager to know.
Thanks in advance\

Somerset Patriots starting pitcher Doug Arguello throws in Sunday?s game.
- Filed Under
Sundays are becoming a day of heartbreak for the Somerset Patriots, but manager Sparky Lyle is willing to trade the infrequent suffering for another week like the one just finished.
After seeing the Patriots' bullpen and defense falter in the late innings and result in a 3-2 loss to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in front of 5,638 at TD Bank Ballpark, Lyle did not echo any of the concern and stress he shared when the same culprits let a potential win slip away last Sunday.
"I wasn't happy with today, but we played two good series," said Lyle, whose team had a four-game winning streak snapped. ...

Robert M. Fowler, 58, was scheduled to appear Thursday in Adams County Court to be sentenced on the drug charges he pleaded to in June, but Fowler's attorney, Clyde Vedder, told the court a fire broke out at Fowler's 6810 Old Harrisburg Road home earlier that day.
The fire began around 5 a.m., Fowler said, when he awoke to fire alarms. He quickly grabbed his clothes, glasses and cellphone and jumped through a window to the outside. Fowler lost his cellphone when he jumped, and found it several minutes later and called the fire department.
The fire was controlled around 6:30 a.m., said York Springs Fire Department Deputy Chief Dean Green. The fire was contained to the left side of the house, damaging the living room, kitchen and laundry room.
Fowler said the cause of the fire was electrical. The insurance claimed they could fix the damages, Fowler said at his home.
Hampton Fire Company, Heidlersburg Fire Company, Bendersville Community Fire Company, Biglerville Fire Company, and York County Truck 64 also responded to the early morning blaze.
Vedder said Fowler was taken to York Hospital for treatment of a breathing problem, and asked the court to reschedule his sentencing.
Judge Michael A. George granted his request, and Fowler's sentencing is moved to Sept. 20.
Fowler pleaded guilty June 4 to four courts of delivery of a controlled substance, and pleaded no contest to an additional charge of possession with intent to deliver. There was no plea agreement, and he faces up to 25 years in prison for the five felony charges.
He also faces up to $1.25 million in fines.
According to court documents, Fowler on four occasions sold oxycodone pills to a confidential informant working with Detective William Hartlaub of the Adams County Drug Task Force.
Fowler made the first transaction July 8, 2011 and sold 50 pills to the informant for $500, Adams County Assistant District Attorney Brian Sinnett told the court in June.
Fowler then sold six tablets for $200 on Aug. 25, and sold the informant another 16 pills for $200 for Aug. 28.
Sinnett told the court Fowler on the fourth occasion sold another 16 pills for $200 on Aug. 31 for $200.
At the time of his arrest Aug. 31, police found a pill bottle on Fowler with his name on it, and a prescription for oxycodone, Sinnett told the court, accounting for the no-contest plea to possession with intent to deliver.
Upon sentencing, Fowler will be ordered to reimburse the drug task force for money used to purchase the pills, and is to pay the Pennsylvania State Police $560 in laboratory fees for testing the drugs.
In addition to the charges to which he pleaded, Fowler also was initially charged with four counts of criminal use of a communication facility.

Mike Frauenheim led Immaculata to two state group titles as the boys basketball coach. He announced his resignation Monday night after 13 seasons at the school.
- Filed Under
Mike Frauenheim, who elevated Immaculata High School boys basketball to prominence and guided the Spartans to two state group titles without a Division I player, resigned from his post Monday after 13 seasons.
The 46-year-old Somerville resident is stepping aside to focus on his job in sales with Riddell, the sports equipment company.
"What he did with that program is just remarkable," said former Mendham coach Jim Baglin, one of the deans of New Jersey hoops. "He is a terrific coach but an even better person. He'll really be missed in our profession." ...

We begin this week with a Heisman Trophy winner and a pardon.
Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers, the iconic Nebraska tailback on the 1971 National Champion team, and the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner, was pardoned by last week by the state of Nebraska for a crime he committed 43 years-ago.
He and two other students, after a night of drinking in celebration of the last day of freshman classes, robbed a gas station, splitting $90 three ways.
This was before the All-America made his legendary 72 yard TD scamper with a punt, in the Huskers 1971, 35-31 victory over Oklahoma, billed as the "Game of the Century."
I remember it well watching on T.V. which will give you an indication of how old I am.
So after carrying the "stain" with him for 43 years, the Board of Pardons voted 3-0 to absolve the 62 year old Husker legend of his past indiscretions.
This weekend let's see which alums spend a night of drinking in celebration of another victory, and which should be arrested for the unpardonable sin of impersonating a football team.
No.9 Texas A@M at No.18 LSU (Ch.4, 3:30 p.m.) This is another Heisman audition for "The Cool Hand Luke" of college football, Johnny Manziel.
But the nation's third most efficient passer (31TDs-11INTs-73%), who also gallops like Secretariat (the team's rushing leader-8TDs), has had more highlights than a Paul Newman retrospective.
The A@M gunslinger, on the nation's fifth highest scoring eleven (49), is assisted by tailback Ben Malena, and his Linus-blanket, game breaking All-America caliber wideout, Mike Evans.
The kid is the 21st century College Station version of Buffalo Bill receiving legend Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion.
He is averaging an eye-popping 22 yards a catch, scored 12 touchdowns, and compiled over 1200 receiving yards.
But as the Aggie faithful are well aware, the D, led by backer Darian Claiborne, and safety Howard Matthews, has more holes than a dress caressing the body of Lady Gaga.
This colander stressed eleven surrenders over 30 points a game, and is as ineffective defending the pass and the run, as Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is, defending his reputation.
Baton Rouge hasn't seen such a weak defense since Navy Admiral David Farragut captured the city during the Civil War in 1862.
And unlike previous seasons, the Sons of Y.A. Title, led by backer Lamin Barrow, and All-America tackle Anthony Johnson, don't cause any sleepless nights for offensive coordinators, especially in slowing the run.
On the other side of the ball, the last time the Death Valley faithful witnessed such an offensive show, the Kohoutek Comet was being touted as a can't miss event.
The nation's top-20 scoring (37) squad, directed by QB Zach Mettenberger (20TDs-7INTs-65%), with assists from tailbacks Jeremy Hill, and Terrence Magee, has been a Les Miles/Cam Cameron revelation.
And when the Himalayan (6-5, 230) sized QB goes aerial, he has the luxury of focusing on a pair of Sunday receivers; Jarvis Landry, and Odell Beckham, who have combined for 16TDs and over 2100 yards.
Fully aware of the difficulty of playing in Death Valley, especially with a defense that has as many holes as a Big Dig tunnel, we still think Johnny Football takes a curtain call, as A@M and captures its 10th straight road victory.
No.3 Baylor at No.11Oklahoma State (Ch.5, 8 p.m.) Baylor scores quicker than Bobby Orr, and makes the Road Runner seem slow.
The Bears are averaging a jaw-dropping point-a-minute (61), while piling up offensive numbers (684 yards) not seen since the pre-bubble days of Alan Greenspan.
The maestro behind this scoring tsunami is its laser armed QB Bryce Petty (24 TDs-1 INT-65%), who, as the nation's most efficient passer, is more accurate than Greenwich Time.
The Waco-kid lights the scoreboard with a pair of field-stretching targets; Antwan Goodley (22.4 yds. a catch, 11TDs), and his equally dangerous (18yds.) partner, Levi Norwood.
Also worthy of marquee billing is the Bears ground assault, featuring tailbacks Lache Seastrunk, and Shock Linwood, averaging over 7.5 yards a carry, while combining for 1700 yards, and 19TDs.
But the backbone to the success of these Sons of Mike Singletary, is the nation's 7th stingiest (17) D, led by backers Eddie Lackey, Bryce Hager, and Gibraltar-sized (6-9, 275) end, Shawn Oakman.
These are not your old man's Cowboys.
The Boys from Boone Pickens U, also known as Oklahoma State, can still store (41), they just don't do it as dynamically.
The Cowboys shoot behind its learning curve QB Clint Chelf (11TDs-5 INTs-53%), with assists from tailbacks; Desmond Roland, and Jeremy Smith, while wideouts Josh Stewart, and Tracy Moore, provide quality targets.
The nation's 14th tightest D, featuring the backer threesome; Caleb Lery, Shaun Lewis, and Ryan Simmons, hit harder than a wildcatter in a Saturday night saloon brawl.
We don't think that there is any hibernation in these Bears, as Baylor, who has won 13 in a row, lassoes the Cowboys in Stillwater.
No.8 Missouri at No.24 Mississippi (ESPN, 7:45 p.m.) The team from the "Show-Me-State" has indeed done just that.
Mizzou needs a lot of help, but if Gary Pinkel's team can run the table, it could find itself playing in the national championship game.
The igniter on the nation's 11th highest scoring squad is its slippery returning (shoulder) dual-threat QB James Franklin (14TDs-3INTs-67%), who also has a quality backup in Maty Mauk (10TDs-2INts).
The Mizzou commander has a pair of tailbacks; Henry Josey, and Russell Hansbrough (over 1300 yds.-14TDs), who are better downhill runners than Bill Rodgers.
But its Columbia's sky-scraper twins, wideouts Dorial Green-Beckham (6-6, 225), and L'Damian Washington (6-4, 205), who are the real headache inducers for the opposition's D-coordinators.
The country's 20th tightest D (20), anchored by its All-America end Michael Sam (16tfls-10 sacks), stones runners, but is as hamstrung as a Massachusetts cod fisherman with quotas, in defending the pass.
The last time there was this much excitement in Oxford, Archie, and Eli, were wearing Rebel uniforms.
The Ole Miss heir apparent is QB Bo Wallace (17TDs-5INts-64%), who plays with the elan, and swagger of a Manning.
The dual-threat dart thrower is assisted by wideouts Donte Moncrief, and Laquon Treadwell, along with quality tailbacks; Jeff Scott, and Jalen Walton.
But Ole' Miss's pedestrian D, led by end Cameron Whigham, and safety Cody Prewitt, could be in for a long night of end zone chasing.
We think Mizzou, once again, shows the nation that it is indeed Netflix ready, moving one step closer to punching its ticket to the SEC Championship Game, and maybe beyond.
No.16 Wisconsin at Minnesota (ESPN, 3:30 p.m.) Wiscy tailbacks Melvin Gordon, and James White (2472 yards-24TDs), are the best pairing since Butch and Sundance, or Quint and the shark.
The maestro conducting the nation's 6th best rushing attack is QB Joel Stave (16TDs-8 INTs-63%), who hit the lottery with receiver Jared Abbrederis, whose grasping hands rival Dan Goodwin.
[Goodwin is the guy who scaled the Sears Tower in Chicago in 1981, wearing a Spider Man suit.]
The country's fifth stingiest D (14), featuring All-America backer Chris Borland, and his partner Ethan Armstrong, disrupt with the same disdain that Boston holds toward the asinine comments of Bill Maher.
The Sons of Bronko Nagurski are one of the nation's most surprising stories.
And while Minnesota head man Jerry Kill sorts out his medical issues, defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys has done a remarkable job manning the sidelines.
The Gophers plow behind its bell cow tailback, David Cobb, while dual-threat QB Phillip Nelson (9TDs-4INTs), and wideouts Derrick Engel, and Maxx Williams, have added some surprising pizazz.
And even though the offense remains a work in progress, the Gopher faithful will attest, that it is silos ahead of last year's production.
The D, featuring backers Damien Wilson, Aaron Hill, and end Theiren Cockran, struggles defending the pass, but surrenders a highly respectable 23 points a game.
We think that Butch and Sundance, Quint and the shark, and the rest of the Mad-Town crew prove too much for the Boys from Minneapolis to handle.
No.19 Arizona at No.14 UCLA (FOX, 7 p.m.) Coach Todd "The Texter" Graham$$ is earning his gelt.
[Graham, who abandoned Pitt after a solitary season for the green$$$ of the Tempe desert, informed his kids of the decision by text, while wining and dining on the A$U private jet. Class guy.]
If the Sun Devils are able to knock off UCLA, ASU punches its ticket into the Pac-12 Championship Game, with a chance to play in its first Rose Bowl since Bill Clinton – post Monica, 1997.
The nation's ninth highest scoring (42) squad, is directed by its dual-threat QB Taylor Kelly (24 TDs-10INTs-62%), who has also rushed for 7 touchdowns.
The desert commander is assisted by his shifty tailback Marion Grice (5.2 average, 20TDs), and a solid wideout pairing; Jaelen Strong, and D.J. Foster, who have combined for: 109 catches, and 8TDs.
The much improved opportunistic D (12 INTs), features end Davon Coleman (10tfls-5sacks), backer Chris Young, and starry nose disruptor Will Sutton.
UCLA has taken on the gritty persona of its head ball Coach Jim Mora.
Once viewed as softies, these Bruins now leave teams feeling as if they just went 15 rounds with Joe Frazier.
The parade leader is dual-threat QB Brett Hundley (20 TDs-8INts-67%), with a big assist from college football's newest sensation, "Mr. Two-Way" Myles Jack, who is averaging over 9 yards a carry.
[Note: UCLA will also welcome back tailback Jordan James.]
When the rifleman takes to the skies, Devin Fuller, and Shaquell Evans, are reliable chain movers.
The D is dotted with stars, the aforementioned backer Myles Jack, All-America backer Anthony Barr (14.5 tfls-7 sacks), and his partners Jordan Zumalt, and Eric Kendricks, but as a group remains pedestrian.
During the Jim Mora regime, if the UCLANS have the lead at half they are a perfect 15-0, make it 16, as UCLA "Jacks" the Sun Devils.
Last week's record: 2-3
Season's record: 40-20.
That's it from cyber-space. We'll be up and running with our weekend recap by noon on Sunday. Until then, Peace, and listen to the music. PK
