Posted by: Sue Loh
I've been working with one of our customers the last couple of days, and found that there were a few handy tips for using the Platform Builder debugger with Windows CE that I knew and they didn't. So I am sharing them here.
Uninstantiated Breakpoints
If you've ever tried to set a breakpoint, but gotten the pink-color uninstantiated circle (indicating that the breakpoint is not yet set) instead of the maroon-color circle (indicating that the breakpoint is set), the problem might be something like this:
Breakpoints without source
You can set a breakpoint even if you don't have the source code to set it on. If you know the exact function name and module name you can use the breakpoint window to break on function entry. In the View menu, go to Debug Windows / Breakpoint List. You can also get there by clicking the "hand" icon on the debug toolbar or by hitting ALT + 9. In the breakpoint window, create a new breakpoint using this syntax:
{,,modulename} function_name
That's an open curly-brace, two commas, module name, close curly-brace, function name. You can use this for EXEs or DLLs. For example:
{,,nk.exe} SC_QueryPerformanceCounter {,,pm.dll} PlatformSetSystemPowerState
This syntax is not actually specific to breakpoints. It's just a way to tell the debugger that a symbol is specific to a module. For example if you want to look at a global variable in the Watch window, you can use this syntax there too. For example you could type {,,nk.exe}CurMSec in the Watch window to see that global variable inside the kernel.
By setting a breakpoint on a symbol instead of a source file line, you use only the PDBs to set the breakpoint. There is no dependency on having the right source file or source path mapping.
Don't just guess random function names when using this method though. OS APIs often have prefixes and postfixes that differ from their official names (eg. the implementation of CreateFile is FS_CreateFileW) and may be completely different (eg. for some reason the implementation of DeleteAndRenameFile is called FS_PrestoChangoFileName... I like that one :-) ). You can search the .map files in your release directory to get clues about what the API names are.
The other useful thing about the breakpoint window is that you can see if your breakpoint changes are pending. Like I mention above, if you set (or unset) a breakpoint while the target device is still running, the change will not occur until you stop in the debugger.
Other tips
If you have a bunch of breakpoints set you may notice that your device is running slower. Every time a DLL or EXE is loaded the debugger does work to figure out if it needs to instantiate a breakpoint inside the module. Unfortunately from my experience, deactivating the breakpoints does not help. I don't know why. You would have to completely delete the breakpoints in order to get back to normal speed. My advice is not to do that though. Delete breakpoints when you're totally done with them, but don't let debugger speed put you into the habit of setting & deleting breakpoints left and right. Slower speed is better than having to redo some debugging because you forgot to set something.
Happy debugging...
UPDATE Dec 9, 05: I added the "debugger is not connected" case above.UPDATE Dec 4, 06: I added some more details to the "Bad Symbols" case and added the "Optimizations" and "Flash ROM" cases.UPDATE Jan 5, 07: Added bullet about the QFE to support VS2005 symbols.UPDATE Feb 14, 07: See also http://blogs.msdn.com/hopperx/archive/2007/02/14/map-file-breakpoints.aspx

|Social Patterning in Body Mass Index (BMI) Among Contemporary Immigrant Groups: The Emergence of a Gradient.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23208784 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Although adult body mass index (BMI) displays considerable social patterning worldwide, the direction and strength of the relationship between BMI and socioeconomic status (SES) varies cross nationally. We examine social gradients in BMI for contemporary U.S. immigrants and evaluate whether their SES-BMI gradient patterns are shaped by underlying gradients in immigrant origin countries and whether they are further patterned by time in the United States. Data come from the New Immigrant Survey, the only nationally representative survey of contemporary immigrants. Results indicate that the inverse SES-BMI gradients observed among this population are strongest among women originating in highly developed countries. After arrival in the United States, however, inverse gradient patterns are driven largely by higher weights among low-SES individuals, particularly those from less-developed countries. We conclude that although certain immigrants appear to be uniquely protected from weight gain, poorer individuals from less-developed countries are doubly disadvantaged; this raises concerns about worsening inequalities in both diet and behavior between the rich and poor upon arrival to the United States.

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Cory Redding waves to the Colts fans following their win over Tennessee, Dec. 1, 2013, afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Cory Redding wiped his forehead and heaved a heavy sigh. It had been an afternoon of heavy lifting, and the defense had provided most of the muscle.
"That was a backyard street brawl," the Indianapolis Colts defensive end said after the home team denied the Tennessee Titans 22-14 in a game at Lucas Oil Stadium that earned few points for beauty. "You got called out in your neighborhood by the biggest kid and you had to fight. That's what it was."
The Colts lead the AFC South by three games and need win only one of their four remaining games to clinch because the defense got it done. ...

My goodness. This world has these seasons planned out just perfectly. Amidst super rain, chilly wind and grey skies, we get blood oranges, tangerines and grapefruit!
Big, bright, cheek puckering citrus is perfect for winter breakfast. I know… it happened this morning.
I'd also like to thank the good world for creating coffee and hot cocoa and whole milk… and putting them all in my coffee cup this morning.
Just swell.

Tijuana Panthers - The Constellation Room - August 23, 2013
By: Kyle Cavaness
Kyle Cavaness
Tijuana Panthers
The Constellation Room
The three members of Tijuana Panthers knew who center stage belonged to at the Constellation Room Friday night, and it wasn't any of them.
Their setup was simple--bassist Dan Michicoff in the corner, stage right, guitarist Chad Wachtel far away at stage left, drummer Phil Shaheen in the back. Microphones for each, and a wide length of empty stage at the center.
About seventeen seconds into the first song--"This Town," from the band's first album, 2010's Max Baker--the stage was full, the space taken by the crowd, led by a never-ending parade of kamikaze stage divers and girls bopping around the band and trying not to lose their purses.
In the span of an hour, the Panthers plowed through more high-energy songs than most bands ever write their entire catalog, mostly ignoring the action that jumped, skanked and stripped around them. The set drew equally from TJP's two frenetic full-length releases, Max Baker and last year's Semi Sweet, and Wachtel introduced just one new song, during the encore, promising to get through it quick before "finishing with a familiar one."
A lot of TJP's surf rock set seemed familiar, to the crowd singing along and to anyone with a passing knowledge of Orange County's "Surf City" kitsch. The stripped-down simplicity of guitar, bass, drums and vocals, led by Wachtel's jangly Fender Telecaster, have deep local roots that point toward the Huntington Beach Pier like a prayer mat. The Panthers, unexpected leaders of a surf rock 'revival,' turned the Constellation Room into their church tent, complete with fainting and collapsed crowd members carried out in a swoon.
The surplus of songs turned lead vocal duties into a merry-go-round. Drummer Shaheen takes the lead on TJP's most aggressive, punk rock tracks, including "Crew Cut" and "Creature," working the same kind of yelp that used to power the Pixies. Songs led by Michicoff have a smirking, Buddy Holly-goes-rockabilly vibe, and "Push Over" could stand in as a soft and warbly White Stripes tune, if you ignored the mosh pit. Michicoff thrashed and chased his Rickenbacker bass around one side of the stage, in contrast to Wachtel's straight-ahead delivery.

13/14 Ride Buck Up Review
Hello Everyone,
Last season I spent the majority of my time on the 13/14 Buck Up, Seb Toots new board. If you're interested in knowing more about the guts and features of the board, which the video below I did back at SIA in February.
One of my all time favorite Ride boards was the Society. I have really missed that board since they changed it to a UL model and then killed it. The Buck Up reminds me of a super charged Society.
The first thing that gets your attention is the POPWalls in the nose and tail. Just carving down the mountain you can feel them increasing the speed of your turns making you that much faster edge to edge without doing anything different. The most obvious thing they give you is an incredible amount of pop. Moving it to the sidewalls, as opposed to the core like Poprods, POPWalls give you a wider surface to pop off of. So you can get more energy into and pop that much higher, but it's also pretty handy when you set up on an edge and you're not using the whole surface area to pop, you still get a great lift off. Lastly, the POPWalls really help accelerate your spins as you take off and when you land. If you don't get that last little bit around in time they really help to get you around so you don't dig in an edge and eat it.
The other feature I love is the Hybrid Twin Rocker. Take a flat board, put just enough rocker on the nose and tail to get your contact points out of the snow and then infuse a micro camber from contact point to contact point into the board. The best way to describe how it rides is that it's like riding an old regular camber board that is broken in (30-40 days on it) that has a slight rocker on the nose and tail.
The rocker is going to keep you from hanging up with your jibbing around the mountain or the terrain park. It helps a little when you're riding in powder, but not a ton as you really need to know how to ride powder if you're going to use this deck as a powder stick. But with the way everything is linked together you effortless carve down the mountain just like you would on an old camber board, you can hold an edge the same way yet not worry about hanging up at all. It's a really great "familiar feeling" for those that started riding before the rocker craze hit us.
The last thing I'll mention is flex/feel. This board is very responsive with the POPWalls & Carbon Array 5. But it's also very forgiving as well. There isn't anything in the middle of the board, so this really allows you to play around when you want to, but the response is there in the nose and tail when you need it. So it makes the Buck Up a very versatile board that can handle any part of the mountain. So if you're an All-Mtn Freestyle rider that is looking for a deck that can truly handle it all, I suggest checking out the Buck Up.

Date of Release: 12/30/11
View pictures here!December 30, 2011- ST. LOUIS, MO- Castle Park is a 209-unit multifamily and elderly Project Based Section 8 property located on Castle Park Drive in Normandy, MO. The property provides an essential housing resource in St. Louis, but was in great need of repair in order to continue operations. Community Housing Concepts, Inc., a Denver-based nonprofit, acquired the property in November of 2007 and hired Steele Properties as the developer. The property was purchased as part of a pool of seven affordable properties. At the time of purchase, Steele and CHC recognized the significant capital needs of the property, which is why they financed the purchase with a short-term bridge loan in anticipation of an allocation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that would finance a needed renovation.Unfortunately, given a) the large scope of work required, b) the conditions of the 2008 market (credit pricing had not recovered and there was virtually no appetite for bond or 4% tax credit deals), and c) the historic nature of the Castle (original slate tile roofs, copper gutters and downspouts, etc.), conventional housing funding sources proved inadequate to meet Castle Park's needs. Steele and CHC explored every financing option available, and had to be persistent to secure a winning combination of sources that would ultimately allow the project to move forward. From the inability to combine state and federal housing funding, to the unwillingness of investors to support a sandwich lease, the developer faced many road blocks along the way bringing the project back to the drawing board. But Steele left no stone unturned to ensure successful preservation of this important historic housing resource, and ultimately triumphed with creativity and flexibility."Talk about a test of will," says Stuart Heller, a Steele Properties Principal. "We knew that preservation of this property was important, and the eventual success is truly a testament to our perseverance and our commitment to ensure that residents live in a building that not only meets their physical needs, but that they can be proud to call 'home.'""It is through CHC's combined years of experience and important partnership with Steele Properties that we have successfully completed the Castle Park renovation," says Hud Karshmer, President of CHC. "When it came to finding a viable solution to fund the needed improvements, we left no stone unturned. And when there weren't any stones left, we created more by utilizing sources that were, at the time, unknown to us."The ultimate financing structure includes: Federal 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit equity; Federal Historic Credit equity; State Historic Tax Credit equity; private activity bond financing; transfer of second and third mortgages via HUD's mark-to-market program; deferred developer fee; American Recovery and Reinvestment Act gap funding sources: Tax Credit Assistance Program and Tax Credit Replacement funds; County of St. Louis HOME funds; city and county property tax abatement; Ameren Missouri funded energy efficiency upgrades; and Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments."The marriage of so many sources is incredibly challenging to navigate," says Chad Asarch, another Steele Properties Principal. "For example, to utilize both federal historic and housing tax credits, we had to adjust the housing credits to accommodate for historic. These types of creative solutions kept us going when others would have thrown in the towel."True to its name, Castle Park is a one-of-a-kind castle-like structure. The building features a brick exterior with several towers and wings which give it the appearance of a medieval castle. Castle Park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 1982 (Reference number 82004722) for its Victorian origin and Renaissance Revival and Chateauesque Architectural styles, as well as for its social history as an early mental institution. Built in 1891 to house the St. Vincent's Sanitarium for persons with nervous and mental diseases, and later termed St. Vincent's Institution for the Insane, the property housed in-patients until 1982 when the property was sold and converted to apartments. The Castle had not been updated again until CHC acquired the property in 2007 and hired Steele Properties as the developer for the resulting $27.3 million historic redevelopment.A challenge faced in pursuing the recent renovation involved the historic preservation to which the owner and developer were committed. The building still contains original Italian marble floors, French tile slate roof, and several original fixtures including copper gutters. Also, the extent of the unit renovations required current residents to vacate their unit. In order to impact residents as little as possible, the project required detailed construction management and spot on timing to ensure that residents only needed to relocate once. Residents from unfinished units were relocated to finished units, where they stayed permanently with no need to move a second time.The renovation has first and foremost repaired the structural foundation of the building to ensure longevity of its operations. The exterior historic rehabilitation included new windows, masonry repair, foundation repair, and copper metal repair, including replacement of coping metals, gutters, and downspouts. The new state-of-the-art downspouts are designed to prevent water leakage, which will preserve the repaired brick exterior that had been damaged by the old leaking downspouts. Interior construction included a complete rehabilitation of apartment interiors. All apartments received new kitchens and bathrooms including new fixtures, cabinets, flooring, and energy efficient appliances. Additional interior improvements include new water heaters, furnaces, doors, drywall texture, and paint."Castle Park is a very unique and important landmark," says Karshmer. "Not only did the rehabilitation restore this historic building, it also preserved 209 affordable housing units in an area whose demographics show great need for affordable housing."The latest census information for Normandy, MO shows that of the 5,008 individuals living within city limits, 37.4% are below the poverty line. The affordable units at Castle Park Apartments provide a home to a significant number of these individuals and along with amenities and services- from a connected business center, fitness center, commercial grade playground and significant outdoor recreation and gathering space- provide important resources for residents to work towards improving their social and financial status.Community Housing Concepts, Inc. (CHC) a nationally operating 501(c)(3) organization, is the owner of Delhaven Manor. Founded in 2005, the organization has been responsible for the investment of approximately $150 million in multifamily and senior affordable housing units, including over $50 million in rehabilitation efforts. CHC , either directly or through its subsidiaries, owns fifteen affordable communities around the country totaling almost 1,600 units. Of those properties, thirteen have undergone (or are undergoing) complete rehabilitations. The resulting improvements result in better lives for the residents of CHC properties, who have exclaimed time and again how happy and proud they are to call Community Housing Concepts "home."Monroe Group Ltd. is the property management company for Delhaven Manor Apartments. Founded almost 30 years ago, Monroe Group currently manages a portfolio of 32 multifamily properties totaling nearly 2,500 units.Steele Properties LLC is a national real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of affordable multifamily rental properties. The firm's mission is to preserve, improve, and increase affordable housing opportunities for vulnerable communities across the country. Steele has successfully completed over $250 million in acquisitions, sales and development activity involving 30 properties and over 2,700 units, including eighteen tax credit projects.

A varied survey of interesting finds and tips from around the web for the week of April 8-14:
What it is: Google Earth has continued to evolve into a more and more useful and dynamic tool throughout its lifetime. This recent article highlights its utility as a means for understanding the crisis in Darfur, with an overlay option that adds links and resources to the basic map.
Excerpt: Google Earth has added a Global Awareness layer to its maps program that lets you learn about the crisis in Darfur. By selecting the Global Awareness layer (in the lower left-hand corner of Google Earth) you can fly over enhanced satellite images of the war-torn region. Sprinkled over the map are icons that link to photographs, data, videos, and narratives of eyewitnesses to the genocide.
What it is: The Digital Be-In is a bit of a longstanding Bay Area tradition, at the central junction of cyberculture and progressive environmental thinking. This year's virtual (and on-the-ground) gathering centers on the theme of biomimicry, bringing such groundbreaking leaders as Janine Benyus and Paul Hawken together for a conversation about the possibilities for interweaving biological systems thinking with technological tools. You can also attend in Second Life! Location TBA.
Excerpt:A showcase and launching pad for several new bio-inspired technology initiatives...The Digital Be-In begins with a two-hour, multidisciplinary exploration of Biomimicry as it relates to green tech, urban development and land management, economics, social systems, and the worldwide sustainability movement.
How the Government Spends Your Taxes: An Oversimplification by GOOD
What it is: GOOD Magazine's newest online video, just in time for tax day, shows in what's become their usual high-quality, edgy and entertaining format, an "oversimplification" of the U.S. government's distribution of our tax money.
Vinod Khosla: The Damage Idealistic Environmentalists Can Do
What it is: Vinod Khosla shares an interesting opinion piece about renewable energy technologies, investment choices, and the role of pragmatist vs. idealist within environmentalist circles. The piece was inspired by a panel he recently sat on with Dr. Herman Scheer, a member of the German parliament and the president of EUROSOLAR (The European Association for Renewable Energy), with whom he disagreed quite fervently as far as approaches to getting more of the world on renewables.
Excerpt: Moreover, these lower carbon emission generation technologies must be attractive not only to government planners, but also to private capital that cares only about economics and regulation- hundreds of billions if not trillions of which needs to become available. Simply put, government money will never be enough to reform the world's energy infrastructure. To achieve these goals, we must provide services that consumers want and prefer over their non-sustainable fossil competitors, while at the same time be profitable for business (unless it can politically be mandated worldwide thru policy which seems unlikely, especially in India and China). Applications that meet the engineering needs but fail to meet the commercial ones are doomed to failure, which provides one of the key reasons for my disagreements with Dr. Scheer.
What it is: The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) just announced the recipients of its 2007 Professional Awards, which honors projects around the world for innovative landscape and urban design. The winning projects are beautiful, and many of them examine integrating sustainability into design. Worth a look.
Women for Women Mother's Day Gifts from Kosovo
What it is: Parsons The New School for Design in New York has partnered with non-profit organization, Women for Women International for a collaborative project between design students and women in Kosovo. The students have designed a series of products which the women will manufacture. They will be sold online and proceeds returned to programs in Kosovo. They can be purchased online at the virtual bazaar.
Excerpt: Women for Women International helps women in war-torn regions rebuild their lives by providing financial and emotional support, job skills training, rights awareness and leadership education and access to business skills, capital and markets.
What it is: Philadelphia designer, Kelly Cobb, undertook a project to make a man's suit using only materials sourced from within 100 miles of her home. It took 20 people and 500 cumulative hours to create. The final product does not have an urban or modern aesthetic to say, the least...at least not the one that would currently be described as such. Definitely part of the challenge of a 100-Mile Wardrobe.
Excerpt: Cobb's suit is a demonstration of the massive manufacturing power of the global economy. Industrial processes and cheap foreign labor belie the tremendous resources that go into garments as simple as a T-shirt...Cobb estimates that 8 percent of the materials in the 100-mile suit came from outside the prescribed radius. Those alien components, including the cores of the thread and the rubber soles of the shoes, were colored yellow to stand out against the primarily gray-brown color of the suit.
[image: The Red Ribbon River Park (ASLA winner)]
Vinod Khosla writes "Simply put, government money will never be enough to reform the world's energy infrastructure."
To me this smacks of not really understanding the nature of money.
When we have the materials, the tools, the space, the time, the skills and the intent to do something, not having enough money to do something is like not having enough inches to build a house.
In essence money is an agreement, between a community, to use something as a means of exchange.
The agreement can be freely chosen, or coerced. Explicit or implicit.
At present we all coerced to implicitly agree to the present Money as Debt system, but there is nothing stopping us making freely chosen explicit agreements to create new money.
Indeed, that is exactly what thousands of communities around the globe are doing - creating their own currencies. LETS, Time Banks, Local and Corporate Scrip, Reciprocal Trading networks, Mutual Credit systems, etc. etc.

Linux Foundation End User Summit: New BtrFS Filesystem and Knowledge Center
The Linux Foundation got positive results from its first ever End User Summit in New York October 14 and 15. Its concept of "end user" ended up including not only private users but many enterprises and organizations.
By its own admission, the nonprofit organization enthusiastically welcomed participants from the financial arena, despite the current crisis on Wall Street, among them Merrill-Lynch, UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Credit Suisse. In their summary the organization even suspected a connection and opined, "perhaps in these times companies are committed to making the most of their investments."
Among the highlights of the event, the Linux Foundation presented the new BtrFS Linux filesystem. A workgroup at the foundation is working on the filesystem to address the increasing volume of data. Developers from IBM, Intel, Novell and other enterprises are working under Oracle's leadership to get a version of BtrFS in the kernel by end of year. Meanwhile Ted T'so's parallel effort to get his ext4 filesystem into the kernel is already in the works. The presentations related to the new filesystem emphasized security aspects and the prevention of possible data loss. The new functions include a tool for end-to-end data integrity checking and support for data and metadata checksumming in the ext4, BtrFS and XFS filesystems. For ext4, the fsck time will get significantly faster. Another central theme was the reworked multipathing code that is now request-based instead of bio-based, promising better control and error handling oversight.
The summit exchange not only profited end users but also developers. Participants from the financial sector mentioned an increasing relevance in that many of their customers have large numbers of mid-sized nodes at data centers with relatively little data stored on local hard disks that rely on network file systems (NFS or AFS). Work on the parallel NFS v4.1 was particularly interesting to this sector, along with work on persistent NFS client caching. Both initiatives are currently in development. So that enterprises can better profit from current developments, the community representatives asked for their help in evaluating upstream kernels. In one case a large bank agreed to take on some testing and notify the community of its results.
Another result of the information exchange was a new workgroup to address systems management. The foundation's end-user council intends to formulate relevant use-cases to present to community developers and vendors for collaboration.
The issue of open source hardware drivers was also brought up with private vendors to encourage their support. This issue was already an agenda item at the Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in the Spring of 2008, for an appeal for the larger vendors to exert influence on the hardware companies to adopt open source drivers. In addition, a proposed knowledge database should be of interest not only to the enterprise market. The foundation is planning a web-based knowledge center to give users a broader spectrum and collaboration environment for greater open software transparency.
The extensive presentations included a session on Cloud Computing in which Gerritt Huizenga described how Linux is the preeminent OS for the cloud. Other Open Source proponents could view this with a certain skepticism. The father of free software, Richard Stallman, has recently derided the principle of rented IT services as a trap and warned against its implementation.
The Linux Foundation promises to provide greater details in November on the results of the summit.
AttributionIt seems strange to mention novell as one of the main people working on btrfs and not redhat. I've only seen a few novell patches on the btrfs mailinglists. They were from a SUSE engineer and meant to to fix how btrfs interacts with Apparmor, their out of tree security module.
Redhat however, has Josef Bacik working on btrfs (what seems like) mostly fulltime. Take a look for yourself:

|Comparison of the effects of microwave irradiation with different intensities on the biodegradability of sludge from the dairy- and meat-industry.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20864337 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Microwave (MW) irradiation is a relatively new possibility of conditioning and pretreating for wastewater sludge. Following its application in the telecommunications and food-industries, the environmental use of this technique has come into the limelight in recent years, and has become increasingly popular. Various publications have dealt with the examination of the effects of MW irradiation in municipal sludge-handling processes. We focused on the effects of MW irradiation at different power levels on solubilization (sCOD/tCOD), biodegradation and anaerobic digestion of sludge from the food-industry. For evaluating the efficiency of MW pre-treatment, the changes in the soluble fraction of the organic matter, the VS/TS ratio, the biogas yield, the methane content in the biogas, and the rate of batch mesophilic digestion were used as control parameters. Additionally, the energetic efficiency of MW pre-treatment was also examined. The results were compared with those of conventional heat (CH) treatments of the same sludge. The MW treatment proved to increase both the sCOD/tCOD and the VS/TS ratio. Furthermore, the biogas and methane yields increased during the digestion of the MW-pretreated food-industry sludge. A higher MW power level generally enhanced the biogas and methane production. Energetically, the most economic pre-treatment of sludge from dairy and meat processing was at a power level of 1.5 Wg(-1) and 2.5 Wg(-1) MW respectively; the surplus energy content of the enhanced biogas product could not compensate the extra energy demand of the stronger MW pre-treatments.

To the Editor:
Heartfelt thanks to all the individuals who welcomed both me and our Hearts of Hope program to your beautiful town during my first visit to Newtown last February and in the months since then. Newtown is filled with such caring and compassionate individuals, and the kindness of each of you has touched my heart in ways I could never fully express.
In our newly-formed Hearts of Hope Newtown chapter, we have seen neighbors caring for neighbors, friends going above and beyond, and people reaching out to strangers with both caring actions and words. I have made friends in this beautiful community I never expected to meet who have offered friendship unconditionally. For that gift, I am truly grateful.
This community has faced challenges most never do. Nonetheless, people fervently choose love with a deep commitment that shows love always wins. In a place where pain and sorrow is very real, there is such drive to pay it forward to individuals, groups, and locations where tragedy and devastation have changed life's path. I am incredibly proud of the work that Hearts of Hope Newtown has done to stand with places like Boston; Moore, OK; and Prescott, AZ and to locally support individuals undergoing cancer treatment, those serving in the military, and our first responders. It has been an honor to be welcomed into a community such as this.
Lastly, it is such a joy to create Hearts of Hope, our tiny treasures, to give away within this community – and everywhere. I cannot wait to see what 2014 brings with the amazing enthusiasm you all bring.
All my best wishes for a holiday filled with family, friends, and much love!

When you book a flight to or from HIA, you will notice that our Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) booking code is MDT. That stands for Middletown, PA – where HIA is physically located. But that's not the whole story: MDT also stands for the Money, Distance, and Time you could save by flying out of HIA.
Smart travelers know that when comparing airfares, it's the total cost of the travel experience that matters. Airline ticket prices are easy to compare, but that comparison can be deceptive. When you add up the entire cost, a lower fare at another airport does not always save you money.
It costs money to drive and park at an airport. The IRS standard mileage rate is 56.5 cents per mile for business miles driven. Depending on the location of your home or office, a long drive may cost you more than the savings on an airline ticket itself.
Any distance traveled takes time – time that could be better spent in the office or at home. That time has value. Even if your flight from MDT requires a connection, the time spent waiting for that connection is often shorter than the time you'd spend driving to a distant airport.
MDT = Money + Distance + Time
So when it's time to fly, how do you determine the best deal? Use our Travel Cost Calculator the next time you compare fares. By factoring Money, Distance and Time into the equation, the MDT formula gives you the true cost of each option.
If MDT is the better deal, enjoy the savings and convenience of flying from closer to home. And share with us your MDT experience, we'd love to hear your story.
If MDT is not the better deal, please let us know by completing our Found a Better Fare Elsewhere survey.
We regularly take the information gathered from potential MDT passengers and present it to airline route planners so they get a better understanding of the true size and scope of the central PA air travel marketplace. Airlines are starting to take notice – realizing that bringing more routes and better fares to our region is a win-win decision.

Sim Tracker
3 Attachment(s)
I created the Sim Tracker because my paper file was over 4 inches thick, and I knew there had to be a better way. I found a few programs online, but none were updated for all of the EPs.
There was only one thing left to do. Write my own.
Now we have the Sim Tracker.
The Sim Tracker is an, all EP ready, data-base like application that allows you to keep all the records you will ever want or need, about your sims, there households, businesses, or pets. Unfortunately, the Sim Tracker does not retrieve information from the game, at this time. Everything must be added by hand.
I hope to add this capability at some point in the future. Right now, I just don't know how.
In the Options Section, you have control over a lot of things that can be listed. Once you add a main neighborhood, you will be prompted to update your options (Ctrl + O). There is a lot there, so please check it out, thoroughly.
The Sim Tracker should be installed, and run as administrator.
In Win 7: Right click the Icon, choose Properties. On the Compatibility tab, check the Run this program as an administrator.
Also Needed
You will need Dot Net Framework 4, Found Here in order to run this program.
Additional Credits:
I would like that thank all of my Beta Testers for their help in getting this tool finished.
Installing Add on Packs
To install Addon Packs download the file and unzip it to any location.
In Sim Tracker, go to the options page, and findd the section you need
(For Custom Small Pets goto ... Options, Household Options ... Custom Small Pets box)
Right click the box and choose Install Addon Pack.
Find and open the text file that you downloaded.
Fix Careers
If you have problem with the military or politics creeers not loading properly, PM me, and I'll send you the fixed career files.
Want to know what's going on with the Sim Tracker ... Check Here!
This thread will be outdated soon, the new Sim Tracker 2 will be out in the very near future.
You've became ma herro :3
Thank you so much!
An app like this is certainly an improvement over stacks of notes. However, given my huge number of sims and the time that elapses between when I play, it would be much better to have this app auto update from game data files. Have you taken a look at the DBPF file format wiki info? It is very helpful. If you are currently hung up on compression / decompression, berq at MATY has written routines to take care of that, and I have a library that wraps those routines so they are even easier. If you're writing in C++, you could use it.
Thank you so much for this!!!!!
While I suppose many folks are going to be "upset" about the lack of an auto-update feature I'm actually quite happy with Sim Tracker as it is, since auto-updating means only "normal" Maxis stuff could be properly accounted for & for somebody like me who's addicted to custom skins, eyes, careers & even "species" (Maxis-code doesn't "know" about Merfolk, Angels, Pixies, etc) I am absolutely thrilled that you made the Sim Tracker so customizable!!!
Thank you for thinking of us "non-standard" players!
Wow! I thought I was a little bit crazy for trying to keep some track of my gazillions of Simmies!!!! Now I'm very happy to know I'm perfectly normal and in good company! LOL
BTW, I'm too addicted to custom "species"...
This will be very helpful! Thank you very much!
Zirconia and RebaLynnTS Custom content like careers and eyes can be auto tracked just like Maxis content. It's all just package files. Some things, like custom species (merfolk, angels, pixies) will show up as human if you just go by game flags. However, the app could have a "custom species" checkbox that let the user input their own species if they wanted.
Not criticizing the app, it is nifty, just saying since you plan to automate it, here's my thoughts on that. I certainly do appreciate the amount of work and planning (and testing) that went into this.
Now that it's finally released to the general public, I must admit that I'm very happy having been a beta tester for this program. It does everything I ever needed/wanted a tracking program to do, and Reba has done an outstanding job of not only creating such a great program, but making it sure to update it as necessary.
I'm also glad she has the patience of a saint with the huge amount of details that we testers probably unloaded on her every single day for 3 months!
Great job!
I just posted an update, not sure how long it will take to show up, but if you have problems with the 1.09 version, they should go away in the 1.40 version.
I'm posting that one to my site in just a few short minutes.
Thank you! Now maybe I won't have to have mile long spread sheets.
I'm posting this now here because if people run into this problem they'll most likely see the solution here instead of on creator feedback. The new version did the same as I posted in the creator forum, but I've found a workaround for now.
If the program crashes when you try to run it and windows tell you they'll find a solution run the program under administrator even if you're on an administrator account it should bring the program right up.
Wow. I started writing my own recently, but I had far fewer details I was interested in tracking. I have dual monitors, which lets me have mine off to the side while playing, so I wanted to see a concise list of details. Mostly, I wanted to see what skin each sim had, to know what bodyshape to look for when choosing new clothes, aspiration, main hobby, and significant other. Yours looks great, but honestly for me personally it's too much information. But it looks like you've done a great job.
Mine does read package files, but I only do that to keep my skin list updated with family codes. I occasionally like to change skins. Mine also serializes to XML, which it looks like you've chosen as well. Which is great, because then it's very easy for other tools to use the same information. Great job. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only weirdo still playing Sims 2. All the Sims in 3 look like downs syndrome kids to me.
boneheadiii, check the options section. You can hide all the tabs you don't want to use. Personally, I hide the Magic tab, and the Roommates tab, as I never use them. Since some people might, I put them in there. I tried to make it as versatile as possible.
I forgot to mention this. When you open a household in the latest version you may only see a list of names in the household family list. Right Click, and you will be able to turn on any information you want to see.
A simmer after my own heart. However, it would probably not work for me to use this since the time I need this info is when I'm playing and I only have one monitor. I will probably try it and maybe I'll be wrong. The majority of what my sister and I write down is stuff needed for each household to do, matchmaker lists so we can keep track of who's marrying who (some are betrothed practically at birth. Chemistry is irrelevant), and who attends weddings. It might be nice to include info about births and stuff like that, so I will probably check this out and see how it works for me.
Wait... I thought you were kidding about the SimTracker! Never mind now! *mashes download button* Yay! Thanks!
Congratulations on getting it released Reba.
Great idea for a program, keep up the good work.
I am working through to see if there are any bugs. Currently I have not found any actual bugs, but several typos. "Ascending" and "Descending" are both misspelled at every instance. As I explore the program further I will post anything I feel needs to be addressed.
It would not surprise me if you found several. Visual Studio does not have a spell checker, and I am extremely dyslexic. Not to mention, I am not the best speller in the world
At least, when I am wrong, I am consistent about it
I'm getting an error when trying to add new sims. The error first occurred when I tried to make Bella Goth's career Military lvl 10 General. I'm now getting a box with the below message whenever I try to do anything.
"Conversion from string "sStartTime10" to type 'integer' is not valid."
I don't know how to fix the bug, and I am incapable of doing anything further with the program.
Military Fix
Sorry about that.
Here's how to fix it.
1. Download the file attached to this post.
2. Go to c://RLMsoft/TextFiles/W7-SimTracker/Careers
3. Replace AdultMilitary.txt & AdultPolitics.txt with the downloaded files.
4. Go to MyDocuments/RLMsoft/W7-SimTracker/[UserName]/Files
5. Delete Files "AC7_AdultCareer.bin" and "AC8_AdultCareer.bin"
6. Rerun the program.
It should fix that problem. I'll post an update that will keep it from happening to anyone else.
Edit: It would appear that the politics career text file, also had issues, so I am uploading a corrected version here.
I have re-uploaded the Sim Tracker with the corrections. Re-downloading, will not fix this issue, unless you delete the AC#_AdultCareer.bin files.
I have attached the corrected files to the main downloads section.
Thanks! I'll keep using the program, see if there are any more bugs or features that could be improved.
EDIT: You can't reorganize the order of neighborhoods, households, or sims in the side window. A system which auto alphabetizes those lists would be invaluable.
Try right clicking
I make use of right click context menus, a lot.
Just wanted to say thanks (again) for this amazing program & the easy-to-install updates! Also tickled that the "add-on" thing for the custom pets was so easy to install! (I love user-friendly stuffeths!)
Also wanted so say, that I'm very Dyslexic too & admire anyone with such a "disability" that has the guts to write their own program code! (I dearly want to learn more HTML & such, but am afraid it may all end in tears.)
As to spelling, there is a neat (free!) program available called "TinySpell" that works on anything/program you are typing in on a Widows environment which has been a godsend for me when typing in WordPad or other such non-spell-check applications.
For anyone interested, you can find more info here: http://tinyspell.numerit.com/
I have a question... I am using Windows Vista, and I downloaded the Sim Tracker and used the link you posted for downloading the .Net Framework. I installed them both and tried to run the Sim Tracker, but when I click the icon I get a message telling me that "I haven't installed the .Net Framework v4.0.30319" even though I have... the version I downloaded says it's v4.0.30319.1, is that what the problem is?
(Sorry if I sound utterly clueless or if this is the wrong place to ask. I just want to get the program up and running.)
Did you install the framework first?
Sometimes the order can make a difference.
I'd suggest reinstalling framework 4, then reinstalling the Sim Tracker. If you are still having problems after that, let me know.
The good thing about windows, is also the bad thing about it. It can be changed easily. The more options you include, the more problems can crop up.

Wendover Middle School announces its billboard star
Coming to Hempfield billboards this summer will be Morgan Podkul.
Morgan, who has just completed the sixth grade at Wendover Middle School, is the latest winner to be announced in a campaign sponsored by Excela Health.
Middle-school students were asked to describe their "Healthy Habits" in an essay contest.
The winning authors from participating school districts will be pictured on billboards to be erected at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year.
It is hoped they will inspire their peers to develop lifelong habits such as eating nutritious foods and getting enough exercise.
Morgan, who has been dancing since first grade, was honored during an awards ceremony at her school on May 30. She is the daughter of Mark and Kelly Podkul.
Her message was particularly touching. In her essay, she wrote:
"Dance keeps me in shape, providing me with cardiovascular exercise, flexibility and muscle strength, which is especially important for me since I have been diagnosed with scoliosis and need to wear a brace 14 hours a day. In addition, dance is also a social activity for me because most of my friends are from dance.
"Dance keeps me active and feeling good about myself," she concluded.
Many of the winners focused on staying active.
Livia Taormina, 13, a Greensburg Central Catholic student from North Huntingdon described staying in good health through competitive cheerleading.
Sixth-grader Madison Wood of Greensburg Salem Junior High School described the joy of Irish step dancing.
Excela devised the campaign, now in its second round, in an attempt to tackle childhood obesity.

A federal judge last month blocked California's plan to cut Medi-Cal provider reimbursement rates to skilled nursing facilities and pharmacies. State officials said they will appeal the decisions.
The two lawsuits were brought by Managed Pharmacy Care and the California Hospital Association.
"We're pleased by the court decision," Jan Emerson-Shea of CHA said. "We believe it is the right thing to put the interests of patients first."
Emerson-Shea said the core of the issue is patient access, and said the Department of Health Care Services' implementation of these cuts would severely impact mostly-rural hospitals with skilled-nursing units -- and that means many Californians would not be able to access important health services. Before the state can make those kinds of reductions, she said, it needs to conduct a study to assess risk to patients.
"We do think the access to care issues are required to be studied," Emerson-Shea said. "Over a number of years now, we feel the state has been trying to balance the state budget on the backs of patients and their caregivers."
DHCS officials have a policy of not discussing pending litigation.
The Dec. 28 judicial rulings could be a good sign for other lawsuits challenging the 10% provider reimbursement cuts.
The California Medical Association and a number of provider groups have jointly filed a lawsuit over provider cuts. And a lawsuit by the California Medical Transportation Association, suing on behalf of non-emergency medical transportation service providers, is set for Jan. 9.
Emerson-Shea said she knows of the other lawsuits, but doesn't know the details of their arguments, or if their odds of success are any better now. "It stands to reason that, if they have similar arguments, that similar rulings might be expected," she said.
What she does know is that a federal judge agrees with the CHA assessment that some of the state's Medi-Cal provider rate cuts may be illegal. "These are very serious issues," Emerson-Shea said. "The state says they'll appeal. But the good news is, in the meantime, those rate cuts can't be implemented."

Glorious chapter revealed
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- August 02, 2014
of 5
THE little-known tale of North Queensland's involvement in World War I will be revealed in a new exhibition at Jezzine Barracks.
Defending The Pacific is a photographic tribute to the vital roles of the Citizen Force and the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (ANMEF) in a war that claimed the lives of more than 60,000 Australians – 172 of whom were from Townsville.
The exhibition's opening next week coincides with centenary commemorations of the start of World War I on August 4, 1914.
Queensland Museum development officer Ewen McPhee said it was not well known that 1000 brave North Queenslanders volunteered to step up as a Citizen's Force to protect home soil – making them the first to deploy overseas as part of war efforts.
"What these North Queenslanders did would have inspired the rest of the country if it had been known (back then when it happened),'' Mr McPhee said.
"In 1914, North Queensland was still quite remote and this war, for the many young men that volunteered, was an adventure of the unknown.
"There would have been a sense of excitement among these men – many of whom worked in mines at the time. When we think about World War I, we always tend to tell the story of Gallipoli and of the Anzac Cove landing, but this is really where it all began.
"There are still a lot of historical aspects that we're chasing and, hopefully, we'll find out more over the next four years as part of the centenary celebrations.''
Eager call to arms
WHEN World War I was declared in Australia on August 4, 1914, the most immediate military threat lay to Australia's north, namely in the then so-called German New Guinea and on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait.
The Germans had wireless radio stations located on islands in the Pacific, allowing for direct contact with its powerful naval fleet and their nation's capital, Berlin.
Breaking the strategic communications network was critical, as was defending Australian territory.
On August 9, 1914, ANMEF began forming following a request by the British government.
A 1500-strong "Tropical Force Troop" from Sydney headed straight for German New Guinea while the 1000 volunteers from North Queensland – 500 of which were from Townsville and surrounds – went to Thursday Island to strengthen the small existing defence force.
The training begins
THE 1000 volunteers shipped off to Thursday Island formed part of the North Queensland Kennedy Regiment, which was the first regiment called to service to defend Australia.
This regiment was also joined by the Citizen's Force – a group of men aged between 18 and 60 from North Queensland rifle clubs.
"Once they joined, they were trained in accuracy and speed by officers of the Kennedy Regiment,'' Mr McPhee said.
"The biggest contingent came from Charters Towers, which had 200 men volunteer. They would have been very excited and for most it would have been the first time they were to embark on a boat.''
About 500 troops from Townsville, Mackay, Bowen, Ravenswood and Charters Towers gathered at Kissing Point, ready for their departure to Cairns on August 8, 1914.
Joined by a further 500 men from Atherton, Yungaburra and Herberton, the men departed from Norman Park, Cairns on the TSS Kanowna on August 11, 1914.
When troops arrived on Thursday Island, their main tasks consisted of managing Fort Milman – which had been part of Australia's front line defence since 1893 – and patrolling the rest of the island.
Within five days of their arrival, they were asked if they wanted to sign on for active duty overseas.
Around 500 men signed on, becoming part of the 2nd Battalion, ANMEF, which later became known as the Dirty 500.
Those that remained on Thursday Island spend their days digging trenches, building fortifications and on guard duty before returning to home soil in November the same year.
Mutiny brewing
WITHOUT knowledge of their next destination, the 500 re-enlisted men from North Queensland volunteered their service to the 2nd Battalion on August 16, 1914.
They left on the Kanowna the next day, heading to Fairfax Harbour, Port Moresby, where they arrived the following morning, August 18 1914.
For two weeks, troops waited there for the Australian naval fleet to arrive, all of them eager to play their part in the Great War.
During this time, the men undertook training exercises, drill duties and received lectures on scouting and skirmishing.
Finally, on September 5, 1914, Colonel W. Holmes, commander of the ANMEF expedition, joined the men on board the Kanowna to inspect the Australian troops before their expected departure to New Britain.
Col Holmes was unimpressed with what he saw and recommended troops be returned to Townsville but, despite this, the vessel left for Rabul in convoy barely two days later.
But at noon the same day, the Kanowna began to fall behind in the convoy as the civilian crew, which had not signed up for military service, mutinied and refused to proceed any further.
Troops on board immediately responded to help stoke the ship – but it was too late.
The Kanowna was sent back to Townsville on the grounds that the ship's crew and troops on board were unfit for active service.
It was later they became known as the "Dirty 500" despite many of the men from North Queensland re-enlisting in the first Australian Imperial Force where they fought on the Western Front and Gallipoli where history was again made when today's Townsville 3rd Brigade were the first to land at Anzac Cove.

What's even littler known, or at least acknowledged, is that the very first Australian casualty on active WW1 service was almost certainly on the Kanowna on that trip. There's a service diary in the John Oxley library which documents every day of that ill-fated voyage from mobilisation on August 4 to pay-day on Sept 15. Whether a version of it is included in the exhibition I don't know, but if not: The 14 August entry says: "Heard this morning that the troops were issued with ball cartridges last night and that they were ready for an attack which the Authorities were expecting from the Germans". On 15 August:"A member of the R.A.G.A accidentally shot himself near the heart to-day; he is not expected to live." The diary doesn't record whether he survived, but given we are talking a .303, at very close range, that Gunner, probably from Townsville, was probably our first WW1 casualty from active service. Perhaps there's some local knowledge or memory that can give him a name. By the way: the enquiry into the alleged mutiny showed it was anything but; no crew refused to work. I reckon it's a shame that discredited version is still being promulgated. See Trove for detail.

GREAT NEWS! I shall be checking this out on the day....

Great read on our history in this article. It would be good to see this part of townsville history kept as a constant reminder of the things that war does to people and communities.
