David Trott. / David Trott for Congress website
WASHINGTON — Birmingham lawyer and businessman Dave Trott continued to raise funds at a brisk pace in the last three months of the year, adding about $450,000 as he builds a warchest to take on fellow Republican U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Milford.
Trotts campaign issued a release Thursday saying he had raised more than $1 million. As the Free Press reported some months ago, Trott raised nearly $650,000 of that in his first month on the campaign trail.
About $200,000 of that was from contributions out of his own pocket or in-kind contributions he provided the campaign. In the last three months of the year, he raised some $250,000 through outside fundraising and provided another $200,000 out of his own money, according to the campaign.
He also has a whopping $710,000 cash on hand heading into the primary race with Bentivolio, a political newcomer who won the seat after former U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter, R-Livonia, abruptly resigned after a scandal involving fraudulent re-election petition signatures.
Trott said he has received more than 300 endorsements for his campaign.
Bentivolios campaign has not yet released its fourth-quarter figures, due Friday to the Federal Election Commission. At the end of September, he had reported receipts of about $60,000 and had less than $40,000 cash on hand.

If Gov. Schwarzenegger caves to political pressure, a new pesticide called methyl iodide could replace methyl bromide as the primary pest-fighter used by strawberry farmers. This might come as some relief to environmentalists who've been pushing the phaseout of the ozone-depleting methyl bromide. But there's a catch: its would-be replacement is a highly volatile carcinogen, or cancer-causing agent. And activists fear that California will see a replay of the 2007 Bush administration decision to approve methyl iodide before hearing what the scientific community said first.
According to activists, the pesticide industry has been pressuring the governor to speed up the approval process so that the new pesticide will be available for the next fumigation process, which starts in August. Sources expect the governor to make a decision within a few weeks. The fumigant up for approval is Midas, the commercial form of methyl iodide and chloropicrin produced by the company Arysta.
"They are circumventing the scientific process," says Dr. Susan Kegley, a consulting chemist for the Pesticide Action Network, explaining that while the state's Department of Pesticide Regulation ordinarily runs its own tests before approval, this time the decision might be made before the Scientific Review Panel reviews the department's risk assessment draft. Kegley says the environmental costs associated with methyl iodide are largely unknown; the EPA has yet to do an environmental study. "The effects that methyl iodide has on field mice and birds that don't get out of the way is yet to be determined," says Kegley.
Methyl iodide's health effects are better understood—and they're not good. The draft of the DPR's risk assessment reports in bureaucratese that methyl iodide increases the incidence of cancer, miscarriages and thyroid disease. Kegley, meanwhile, observes that scientists use the utmost care when testing it. "Methyl iodide is so toxic that scientists working with it in the laboratory take extreme caution when handling it, using a ventilation hood, gloves and special equipment for transferring it so it does not escape to the air," she says, adding that workers would breathe 100 times the dose found acceptable by state law—and without the protection a lab provides.
However, it is not just the fieldworkers' health that is at stake. People in surrounding areas would receive amounts higher than the DPR's acceptable dose, says Kegley, noting that federal scientists, when they accepted the pesticide, didn't account for the prevailing winds throughout much of California. "They did not take into serious consideration the people living downwind of the areas," she says. Finally, even though methyl iodide is placed in the soil, it could leach into the groundwater.
To Paul Towers, state director of Pesticide Watch, it's a matter of leaping from the frying pan into the fire. "As a society we should collectively be moving toward safer practices. New York has taken the lead and rejected methyl iodide as a pesticide," he says. "In theory, only the applicators are exposed to pesticides. [But] methyl iodide poses even more potential threats than methyl bromide."
To most of us, there would be little discernible difference between the strawberry farmers of Santa Cruz County using methyl bromide and methyl iodide. From the road, passersby would see the same tarps over the fields that are used for methyl bromide fumigation. The two products work in much the same way. Brett Melone, executive director of Agriculture & Land-Based Training Association (ALBA), explains how. "Methyl iodide kills everything in the soil before planting begins," he says, adding that all soil fumigants sterilize the planting area, killing everything from fungi to nematodes.
He also says there are safer ways to fight pests and disease. "It's all about managing the soil," he says. "More to the point, it is entirely unnecessary, as sustainable and organic farming systems are available now. ALBA has trained hundreds of farmers to grow food—including strawberries—without chemicals in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties. Most of the farmers ALBA works with are former farm workers seeking a healthier environment to grow food."

CLOUDCROFT >> About 180 children and their parents enjoyed a lazy Saturday afternoon coloring and learning about fire prevention at Smokey Bear 69th birthday party.
Children were able to learn and make different animal tracks with sand imprints, compete in a coloring contest and enjoy cake and balloons while learning about fire prevention at the Lincoln National Forest's Sacramento Ranger Station.
Lois Cadwallader, support services specialist with the U.S. Forest Service, said the celebration is one of the biggest events the station conducts each year.
"We try to make it a fun family day," Cadwallader said. "It's really neat to see because it is a time when parents and grandparents can sit down with their kids. I think they have as much fun as the kids."
She said the event was for families, but the Smokey Bear campaign is geared for people of all ages.
"Fire prevention-wise, it's mostly campfires," she said. "Because we are mostly dealing with campers, it is just reminding that a lot of fires our firefighters put out are from either the hundreds of lightning strikes or the abandoned camp fires that are there every year."
The ranger station's bookstore donates money to the Forest Service for the food, cake and coloring-contest prizes. She said the other prizes given to children were funded through the Forest Service's Fire Prevention Program.
"It allows us to educate them while they are having fun, and it educates the parents at the same time," Cadwallader said. "And it gets some fire prevention messages out and they all love seeing Smokey."
According to Smokey Bear's official Twitter profile, his actual birthday celebration was Friday, but Cadwallader said the celebration is usually conducted at the station on Saturday for children and parents to enjoy.
"It's not the birthday of the bear they found in the woods," She said. "It's the birthday of when they started the advertising campaign, which, I believe, happened before they actually found the real bear in the woods. They already had the campaign and then they later found the bear."
The real Smokey was a small cub rescued from a fire in 1950 in Capitan. After news of the cub spread, the state game warden at the time wrote a letter to the chief of the Forest Service to have the small cub become the living symbol of Smokey Bear. The cub was given a permanent home at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., according to the Smokey Bear website.
"His middle name is not 'the.' His name is Smokey Bear. To make the song work, they put 'the' in there. In the song, it's Smokey the Bear, but his name is actually Smokey Bear."
Cheryl and Gary Adams spent some time at the birthday party with their three grandchildren.
"It was something to do today," Cheryl said. "We brought our youngest, who is 4 years old. We thought he would enjoy this."
Zaira Roberts travelled from Alamogordo with her three sons, her sister and her three daughters to attend the birthday celebration for the first time.
"They love it. They are making their best," Roberts said about her children competing in the coloring competition. "I really like it. I think it's a great opportunity for all the kids to celebrate his birthday."

Faria Mohamed said her brother Khizr
placed his $150 Nike Air Jordans on a shoe rack outside the Darul Uloom
Institute at 7050 Pines Blvd. Tuesday night. Muslims remove shoes, which
are considered unclean, before entering a mosque.
But when Khizr Mohamed returned from praying, his sneakers were gone.
"At that point he thought it was a friend or my other brother probably did a prank on him," Mohamed said.
The video shows the suspect arriving on his bike at the mosque and Islamic training center just after 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night.
He checked out the shoes on the rack
and cased the area. He picked up one pair of shoes, put them down, and
grabbed another pair that he took with him as he rolled away, the video
The suspect didn't appear to notice the camera recording him.
"He was pretty disappointed seeing
it was somebody from outside coming in and taking the shoes, while they
were praying," Mohamed said of her brother.
The unholy act is upsetting for mosque leader Shaikh Shafayat Mohamed.
"It's very frustrating because it affects the congregation," he said.
Spiritual leaders from the mosque
say that in just a few months, there have been several pairs of shoes
stolen from the mosque - and now many worshippers are wearing slippers
so they won't fall victim.
"I mean, it means we have really gone to the dogs, when people can steal shoes to sell shoes," Mohamed said.

Supervisors Discuss Rentals at Pleasantville Memorial Hall
Posted By News On April 10, 2013 @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Pleasantville Memorial Hall's rental program could be changing. The Board of Supervisors discussed a rental agreement with their Memorial Hall board during their regular meeting yesterday. The County currently owns the building that's leased by the Pleasantville American Legion. They, in turn, rent it out for events and celebrations. The Supervisors talked about the County's own liability concerns and said that an armed law enforcement officer may need to be present if any group is drinking alcohol within the building, no matter the size or age. The City of Pleasantville is also considering purchasing the building from the county; further discussions on that may be held at a later date.

Hempfield board hopeful owes $32K in taxes
A candidate for Hempfield Area School Board owes the state nearly $32,000 in taxes but said his financial problems are business-related and should have no bearing on his campaign.
Frank Venzon, who owns Franko's Sports Bar & Grill in Jeannette, said the unpaid taxes resulted from another business that failed.
Venzon is seeking the Republican and Democratic nominations, along with incumbents Sonya Brajdic, Diane Ciabattoni, Joe Lutz and Robert McDonald.
Venzon and his wife, Lora, operated the now-closed Lora V's restaurant in the Greensburg Shopping Center. He said his tax problems are related to Lora V's.
"Rather than filing for bankruptcy, we lived up to our obligations," Venzon said. "I'm on a payment plan. We did not go belly up. We lived up to our obligations and are trying to get out from underneath them. I'm your average, normal person."
Venzon's tax bill dates to 2005 when he failed to pay the state Department of Revenue more than $8,300 in taxes. His last state tax bill for $839 was filed in February, according to liens filed in Westmoreland County.
In 2008, Union Real Estate Company of Pittsburgh sought a judgment of nearly $43,000, alleging the Venzons breached their lease with Lora V's, according to court filings. The case is pending.
Venzon said he is seeking a school director's seat because he disagrees with how the board is managing the district.
"There are an awful lot of bad decisions being made," he said. "There are things that need to be changed within the district. Money is being spent the wrong way."
If he is elected, Venzon will join a school board that raised taxes 1.4 mills last year and plans another 1.5-mill increase for the 2013-14 term.
The district faces rising costs for health care and pension contributions. The board has cut costs by closing an elementary school and may shut down an alternative education program.

Take Your Dog to Work Day succeeds through cooperation
Architect Gerald Lee Morosco has a simple reason why he has brought his dog to work every day for nearly 17 years.
"Why not?" he says with a chuckle. "Having him around seems to make everyone happy."
Today is nothing special for the South Side architect, but it is for many dogs and owners who will carry their bonding one step further as they take part in Take Your Dog to Work Day.
The event was originated in 1999 by a group called Pet Sitters International as a way of calling attention to the millennia-old companionship of canines and as a way to promote their adoption by people and groups.
But taking a dog to work -- on a special day or regularly -- should be done only with the understanding and approval of those who are not doing so, says Jennifer Fearing from the Humane Society of the United States and co-author of the book, "Dogs at Work: A Practical Guide to Creating Dog-Friendly Workplaces" (Humane Society Press, $21.95).
When the Humane Society headquarters in the District of Columbia and Gaithersburg, Md., established a dog-at-work policy nine years ago, it was done by a committee of pro- and anti-dogs-at-work staffers, along with a neutral contingent. It resulted in guidelines on separate entrances for dog and non-dog staffers and areas around the office -- such as the lunchroom -- where dogs never are permitted.
But most striking is the fact that all the staffers there are in cubicles and, if a dog is present, that workspace is sealed with a baby gate, Fearing says.
"My office has begun to look like a dog kennel, with toys scattered around and a bed on the floor," says Fearing, who now is the society's state director in California and brings her dog to work in a smaller office.
Bringing a dog to work might not always work out so well, says Janie Harden Fritz, associate professor of communication and rhetorical studies at Duquesne University and author of "Problematic Relationships in the Workplace." (Peter Lang publishing, $29.95).
"It is a matter of civility and etiquette," Fritz says. "You have to keep the focus on work and realize not everybody is going to be comfortable with dogs present."
But she does point to a study at Central Michigan University that seems to show, in several tests, that civility and overall behavior improved when dogs were present.
"I am for any celebration of dogs," says Martin P. Levin, a 92-year-old lawyer and former corporate boss who wrote the just-released "All I Know About Management I Learned From My Dog" (Skyhorse Publishing, $19.95). He became the owner of his mixed golden retriever, Angel, after the death of his wife and began learning the truth of dealing with dogs.
It was the same reality he had discovered in the business world: To get the best from people -- or dogs -- you have to establish trust and leadership, communicate effectively, promote problem-solving and decision-making and foster perseverance.
"There are many people who just do not get it," Levin says. "But in my perfect world, I would come to work every day with my dog. This is the land I want to live in."
He agrees with Fearing and Fritz that a dogs-at-work policy has to be made in cooperation with workers who are not canine companions.
There can be distractions when there are dogs at work, Fearing admits, but she contends there also are benefits. Owners, for instance, do not have to worry about getting home to their dogs when they face the possibility of working late to finish a project, she says, "and I think the company then benefits."
Besides the specified entrances and off-limit areas at the Humane Society, other issues had to be faced, she says. For instance, every dog-owning staffer had to establish a sitter for times when a meeting was scheduled.
The staffers were required to bring their pets to work at least three days a week to establish attendance as a usual action.
Fearing's "shelter special" dog -- Yoda -- knows that and knows what it means when it is time to go to work, she says.
Morosco's mixed border collie -- Lincoln Dog -- is clued in to the behavior that is expected at work, too, and does not let the architect down.
"I can't think of one client who ever was upset having him around," he says,

The Lithium Economy
Why hydrogen might not power future vehicles and lithium-based batteries might.
The need to reduce carbon emissions and to find a long-term replacement for oil has many people looking at hydrogen fuel cells to power factories and vehicles. But finding ways to store volatile hydrogen safely and bring down the costs of fuel-cell ingredients, which currently include the fantastically expensive element platinum, has proved difficult.
While the quest for the affordable fuel cell continues, many environment-conscious consumers have been turning to hybrid cars to reduce emissions. At the heart of the hybrid is a technology that may be less "sexy" than fuel cells, but, according to MIT's Donald Sadoway, could be key to a fossil-fuel-free tomorrow – the rechargeable battery.
TechnologyReview.com's nanotechnology and materials science editor, Kevin Bullis, recently talked with Sadoway, a professor in the department of materials science and engineering. He holds 13 patents, has received multiple teaching awards, and has published more than 100 papers on the future of batteries and the all-electric car.
Technology Review: Why did you get into battery research?
Donald Sadoway: What got me into this in the first place was the desire to get rid of the internal combustion engine. As far as powering portable devices and so on, there are business opportunities there, but I don't get excited about it. I did not get into this line of research because I wanted to help somebody talk 30 percent longer on his cell phone.
TR: Why get rid of the internal combustion engine?
DS: The real problem is greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere. If we don't start dealing with that question, the rest doesn't make a damn bit of difference – if 25 years from now the general temperature of the United States is 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher and the oceans are four feet [higher]. We really need to think about sustainable ways of generating electric power and then moving [around] as much as we can without burning carbon.
TR: What about using fuel cells for vehicles to reduce emissions?
DS: I don't believe in fuel cells for portable power. I think it's a dumb idea. The good news is: they burn hydrogen with oxygen to produce electricity, and only water vapor is the byproduct. The bad news is: you have to deal with molecular hydrogen gas, and that's what's stymieing the research and in my opinion is always going to stymie the research.
That's why I don't work on fuel cells. Where's the infrastructure? Where are we going to get hydrogen from? Hydrogen is a molecule, it's H2. To break it apart, to get H+, you've got to go from H2 to H, and that covalent bond is very strong. To break that bond you have to catalyze the reaction, and guess what the catalyst is? It's noble metals – platinum and palladium. Have you seen the price of platinum? Lithium [for lithium ion batteries] is expensive. But it's not like platinum. Lithium right now is probably $40 a pound. Platinum is $500 an ounce. If I could give the fuel-cell guys platinum for $40 a pound, they would be carrying me around on their shoulders until the day I die.

Some babies are more adventurous than others - you turn around for a second and when you look for them again, they've scooted into another room. Or maybe you have a little one who needs a lot of cuddle time, with pitiful cries every time you need two hands for a job.
And some parents just need an easy way to keep track of their brood or to get through the grocery store in a timely manner.
For any of these situations, some parents choose to "wear" their babies. ...

Imagine having your food budget cut by a third. It could happen to a half million American families if the current farm bill moves forward in Washington.
The legislation would cut $4.5 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, over the next ten years. For some households that could mean $90 less in food stamps per month.
More than 94,000 South Dakotans receive help paying for food, and that's nearly twice as many people as just five years ago. And to give you some perspective that's more than one in ten South Dakotans. In that same time, the amount of help has jumped $70 per month. So, if the farm bill passes, a lot of families could be set back more than five years.
"It feels like they're trying to get rid of us," Sioux Falls resident and food stamp user Galen Oas said.
Oas has been using food stamps for four years. He's been in and out of work during that time and says the potential cut in the Farm Bill has him worried.
"SNAP program is very important to me because I need to eat," Oas said. "And how about the other people that need to eat too, like little kids?"
Oas receives around $200 per month, but says more than half of it is usually spent on just one trip to the grocery store.
"Sometimes, it's just a sandwich and chips," Oas said. "It's not a hot meal because food has gotten so pricey."
"Congress should form a circle of protection around the programs that meet basic needs of low income people when times are tough. And food stamps would be in there," Bread For The World volunteer Carol Brechtelsbauer said.
Using a loaf of bread as a metaphor for how more and more individuals are taking slices, volunteers gathered at Drake Springs Pool in Sioux Falls to showcase the continued need for food stamps.
"63 percent of the clients who come through the food pantry last month are on food stamps or receiving food stamps," Sioux Falls food pantry general manager Steven Dahlmeier said.
Local organizations are being stretched thin and Dahlmeier is concerned they could be stretched even further. And for people who use food stamps as a means to survive, they hope their hunger speaks volumes to Congress.
"We're human beings," Oas said. "We need food to survive and keep energy. That (potential government cut) scares me."
The farm bill still has a long way to go and there has been an amendment to remove the food stamps cuts. Even if that passes, the House of Representatives then has to formulate its own farm bill. Nevertheless, Dahlmeier says the Food Pantry is preparing for the worst in order to continue providing to those who are hungry.

He cited a 2007 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in a similar case that just being a taxpayer does not give someone standing to sue over a funding decision by the executive branch of government. ...

Re: A Hater Revisits Voyager
And the biased viewpoint of one person is not a good standpoint to judge an
entire civilisation.
Which is why the episode shouldn't have judged an
entire civilisation.
When did the episode ever do that?
As for the rest of it, I still have the feeling that you would have rather seen them as islamic extremists, since the episode did strongly suggest that they were more like the Amish.
Because think about it - would extremists have let themselves being cattled of like sheep to the slaughterhouse?
The bible holds no weight with me.
Because it wasn't... ah never mind.
Every country in the world does this.
As I already said in my first post. And why I feel that a socially responsible entertainment should remind us this question - that how true the images of our heroic past really are. Propaganda of the past has a tendency to reappear in the most ugliest ways. Modern day Russia has adapted the image of World War II of the stalinistic propaganda movies, rather than the less-glorious and more accurate version.
Better example: Hollywood produes a film after film of the evil of Nazi's, letting everyone forget that America too had concentration camps in World War II, as it was the contemporary zeitgeist. Everyone had them, but giving the nazi's more spotlight gives us the chance to forget our own evils in WWII.
To me, Remember worked as that sort of illustration. To you it didn't. We both raised our voices and raged (or not, raged just rhymes with raised), now let's end this at Future's End.

Sommaire: 17 February 2012, Brussels - The spokesperson of Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the Commission, issued the following statement today condemning the arrest of Mazen Darwish, the head of the Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression:
"The High Representative deplores the arrest on Thursday by Syrian security forces of human rights defender Mazen Darwish, the head of the Damascus-based 'Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression', as well as at least 12 other human rights defenders, including blogger Razan Gazzawi, and the wife of Mazen Darwish. The EU stresses the need to respect the freedom of expression and the freedom of human rights defenders to carry out their work, in line with Syria's international obligations.
The High Representative expresses her concern for the physical safety of Mr. Darwish and others arrested, and demands information about their whereabouts and access for their families. She calls on the Syrian authorities to immediately release Mr Darwish and all those human rights defenders arrested on Thursday, and to release all political prisoners in accordance with Syria's commitments to the Arab League to end violence.
The High Representative strongly condemns the level of violence in recent weeks committed against civilians by the indiscriminate bombardment of residential districts in Homs, Zabadai, Hama and Deraa. The violence has reached unspeakable levels of criminality and destruction."

Route 35 update
Heres what state officials said to expect along Route 35 this summer:
No work will be done on any of the 12.5 miles of roadway between May 22 and May 27 to accommodate Memorial Day travelers;
All construction will be paused in Mantoloking and Bay Head from May 22 until September 3;
Work will be halted on northbound Route 35 between Brown and Bond avenues in Lavallette on May 22 until September 3;
In Toms River and Brick, work will continue on both directions of the highway though one lane each way will be open in between Curtis Point in Brick and Strickland Boulevard in Toms River;
Construction on Route 35 will stop on June 13 and will resume on September 3 in Berkley, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Toms River;
Work will continue on side streets throughout the project area, with the exception of Mantoloking and Bay Head.
SEASIDE HEIGHTS — The traffic construction nightmare that residents have had to endure along Route 35 will be put on hold this summer season even as officials here admit that the Seasides boardwalk may not be rebuilt until July 4.
During a briefing for residents, state officials said work for all but 2.5 miles of the $265 million highway project, which includes building a 4-mile-long steel seawall, will pause for most of the summer.
We truly understand that you want nothing more than for life to return to normal, and we are doing everything we can to bring that about as soon as possible, said Joe Dee, chief of staff at the New Jersey Department of Transportation, to a roomful of residents and local government leaders at the Seaside Heights Community Center Tuesday.
Alternate Route blog: Cyclists win victory with promised Route 35 bike lanes
Officials pledged to open all lanes on the highway for the tourism season after a miles-long traffic jam formed following the Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights on Feb. 22.
But the fact that construction will continue along a stretch in Toms River worries resident Janet Doremus, who thinks the entire project should be shut down during the summer for safety reasons.
Everybody walks to the beach, she said. Im concerned about children, pedestrians, people that are pushing baby carriages. ... Ive almost been hit twice by some of this heavy equipment.
Meanwhile, Steve Sherill of Ortley Beach said before the meeting that sluggish construction could turn the community into a ghost town.
The longer it goes on, the more of a ghost town well have, he said.
But while the state is promising to get contractors and equipment out of the way of tourism-dependent businesses, the section of boardwalk that connects Seaside Heights and Seaside Park remains unfinished and likely wont be ready for Memorial Day.
Is it possible? Yes, but I wouldnt count on it, said Kim Pascarella, a member of one of the families that make up Belle Freeman Properties, which owns the 250-foot stretch of boardwalk property between Dupont and Porter avenues.
The boardwalk there was devastated by a fire in September.
Pascarella, a local attorney, said they were hoping to complete the boardwalk before July 4.
The mayors of Seaside Heights and Seaside Park, whose boardwalks are joined by the Belle Freeman segment, were otherwise upbeat about the summer prospects.
As far as the municipality goes, were going to be 100 percent ready to go at the start of the summer, Seaside Heights Mayor William Akers said.
Seaside Park Mayor Robert Matthies said he was concerned about how the work along the highway our Main Street, as he called it would affect the charm of his community.
Akers said he had every confidence that the state would do its best to ensure a productive tourism season. The individual communities had to each do their part as well, he added.
I firmly believe that when the entire barrier island does better as a whole, then each municipality will do better individually, so I think its important for everybody to be ready from Day 1, Akers said.

Since last Wednesday's update, we published a Developer Spotlight on Tripl, launched a new Notifications API to reach users 1:1, and Updates to the Graph API.
Improvements to the Facebook SDK for Android
We've released an update to the Facebook SDK for Android that includes stability improvements as well as support for our mobile ads for apps beta program, which will help us provide you with information about the effectiveness of your ads and the use of your app.
Update to Graph API for Scores and Achievements
We have made the Graph API for scores and achievements more flexible by removing the requirement that you use an app access token to publish. Instead, you can use a user access token, which allows you to publish scores and achievements directly from the client. This means that using the API for scores no longer requires building out a server component. However, you will still need a server to host the open graph objects for achievements. If you are already using the API with an app access token, you can continue to do so without impact. This is not a breaking change. For more details please refer to our scores and achievements documentation.
Facebook for iOS App: Fix for Login URL Regression
We identified an issue in the new Facebook for iOS (v5.0) app that may affect a small number of iOS apps. The URL returned at the end of Facebook Login changed format and uses a ? delimiter instead of a #. The Facebook SDK for iOS handles this and parses the URL correctly, but apps that parse the URL without the SDK may be affected. We only know of a handful of apps affected by this behavior and are working on a fix for the Facebook app.
Testing Subscriptions
Subscriptions now supports test users. This will allow you to more easily test your subscriptions implementation end to end. For more information see the subscriptions and test users documentation."
Breaking Changes Effective Today
As announced in June, the following breaking changes are effective today, September 5, 2012:
- Deleting FB.Canvas.setAutoResize
- Built-in actions required for watching and reading
- Renaming 'likes' property of Comments and 'votes' property of QuestionOptions
- Minor change to admin.getAppProperties call
- Returning actual size in photo_src table
Announcing December 2012 Breaking Changes (90-Day Notice)
Per our 90 day Breaking Change Policy, the following changes will go into effect on December 5th, 2012:
Removing the Static FBML Page tab app
We removed FBML in July of this year so any FBML code that was being used in the Static FBML Page app would have stopped working at that time. However, the Static FBML Page app is still able to render plain HTML. On December 5th, we will remove the Static FBML Page app and any Static FBML tabs you had installed on your Page will disappear. To replace any Static FBML tabs you may be using, we recommend you either host your own content and create your own Page tab or search the web for "Static HTML Facebook Page Tab" to find a replacement.
New policies for desktop web games off of Facebook.com
The following policies will go into effect:
13a. Desktop web games off of Facebook.com may only use Facebook Login (Authentication, excluding user connections such as friend list), Social Plugins and publishing (e.g., Feed Dialog, Stream Publish, or Open Graph). When authenticating, these games may not request additional permissions other than age, email, and our Publishing Permissions.
13b. Games on Facebook.com and mobile must not share the same app ID with desktop web games off of Facebook.com. You must not use Canvas apps to promote or link to game sites off of Facebook, and must not use emails obtained from us to promote or link to desktop web games off of Facebook.com.
For more information, check out the Platform Policies.
The following changes can all be enabled/disabled using the "December 2012 Breaking Changes" migration until December 5th when they will go into effect permanently for everyone:
New security restrictions for OAuth authorization codes
We will only allow authorization codes to be exchanged for access tokens once and will require that they be exchanged for an access token within 10 minutes of their creation. This is in line with the OAuth 2.0 Spec which from the start has stated that "authorization codes MUST be short lived and single use". For more information, check out our Authentication documentation.
Stripping HTML from Page description field
As some Page descriptions contain HTML, we will begin stripping HTML tags from the
descriptioncolumn/field of the Page FQL table and the Page Graph API object so as to not require you to parse/render HTML when using a Page description. We will add a
description_htmlcolumn/field that will contain the description including the HTML tags (as
descriptionused to contain). The
description_htmlGraph API field will not be returned by default. It will have to be explicitly requested by including a
?fields=description_htmlparameter in your Graph API
Graph API will return full Custom Open Graph objects
We will begin returning full Custom Open Graph objects (including custom-defined fields) via the Graph API when requesting them using the
idparameter (e.g.
https://graph.facebook.com/?id=YOUR_URL). Currently we only return the
sharesfields for these objects.
Check out the Developer Roadmap for more info.

Although not every dollar that flowed to Louisiana's 126 private and parochial schools receiving state funds for vouchers was tracked, Superintendent of Education John White says each school complied with a requirement that they account for use of state funds this past school year.
Those audits, conduction three-fourths of the way through the school year, enabled the department to withhold some money that schools were over-claiming for student enrollment and to supply additional funds to ones that had undercounted students, White said.

GRNET's Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) assists cross-institutional services by providing federated authentication and authorization among participating organizations. Through the Infrastructure, users can access services in a secure and confidential manner, simply by using their institutional accounts.
GRNET's Federation comprises members of the academic, research and educational community of Greece, as well as third parties wishing to provide services to the community.
The federation's members fall into two categories:
- Identity Providers (IdP): the entities (e.g. academic or research institutions) authenticating their users and certifying their identities. Furthermore, they may provide Service Providers with the users' personal data in order to facilitate user authorization.
- Service Providers (SP): the entities providing services to the community. They may receive individual users' personal data, under consent, with the purpose of authorization and providing personalized services.
The participation of an Identity Provider in the Federation yields multiple benefits for its users:
- logging into a federated service is performed using the user's existing institutional account, without requiring separate registration.
- the user's identity, position and affiliation are only optionally transmitted to Service Providers, allowing fully anonymous and trusted access.
Accordingly, a Service Provider may benefit from joining the federation by being able to offer services to a large community through a central access mechanism without the need for ad hoc user authentication methods.

THE minister for works and transport, Eng. John Nasasira, has directed the town clerk and planner of Kiruhura town council to use a comprehensive strategy to develop the town in a bid to avoid congestion.
Nasasira explained that a town left to develop without a strategy may deteriorate in future and cause congestion citing Kampala which was poorly developed and people were building on road reserves.
"I hate doing things which are not planned for. We are now using each other's space in Kampala because it was poorly developed. People are developing in road reserves,†he said.
Nasasira directed the town clerk, Festo Tandeka, and his staff to ensure their plan indicates the distribution of industrial, residential and commercial areas, distribution of parks and other open spaces.
He made the remarks while opening an administration block worth sh106m at Kiruhura. The building was constructed with start-up funds, unconditional grants and local revenue.
The minister commended Tandeka and his staff for spending the Government funds to build the town council headquarters well.
"I know this structure was hard to complete in a district which was formed just four years ago. I want to thank the town clerk and his team for using the government funds well.â€
The LC3 chairman of Kiruhura, Mbaho Buhamba, noted that the development of the town council was held back by residents who demand unaffordable compensation.
Buhamba said they had tried to construct roads to connect the town council with wards but the land owners had demanded compensation which the town council could not pay.

So it's not entirely surprising when a reader solves a problem before I come up with the answer. That's the case with Bill Anton, who asked about a perplexing CD/DVD issue but then tracked down the answer and fixed the problem himself.
- "Hi, Fred. I've been in this IT racket for 50 years — from mainframes to Macs — and thought I'd seen it all. But this problem has really stumped me.
"I'm on an HP Pavilion (2007 model) running Vista, all patched and current, with zero problems since install. Last week, the internal CD/DVD drive stopped working. Device Manager showed that little "uh-oh" yellow exclamation point, and the properties told me, 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).' I tried Update Driver, but Windows said that the current driver was the latest. Hmmm.
"On a deadline and up against it, I truck on down to the store, buy the latest USB CD/DVD external drive, and plug it in. Same problem. Device Manager lists both drives and shows the same error for both.
"After a lot of Googlin' and reading and experimentation, I'm out of ideas. I shudder at the idea, but do you think a full reinstall would help? Or maybe you have a better idea?"
But before I could write and suggest that, a second note arrived from Bill:
- "Fred, I ran the Vista Automated Fix it in MS Support article 929461. It found the same problem but couldn't fix it. However, it offered to let me start a $49 chat session with MS for help with the problem. I figured, hey, I've put at least 50 bucks into this already, let them have a shot and maybe it'll save me a trip to the local PC guru (who'll charge me at least that much and keep my PC for a week).
"Anyway, long story short, the MS rep had me uninstall the CD/DVD drive (in Device Manager) and then do the Scan for hardware changes command — no reboot. The scan picked up the driver and reinstalled it, and now all works just fine. Magic. I had been doing pretty much the same thing, except that after the uninstall step I was rebooting to let the PC reload the driver — and skipping the scan step.
"Thanks anyway. Add this to your long list of fixes — I sure have."
But clearly, you didn't need me to tell you that. Nice, nice work, Bill!
Value of a RAID configuration on a desktop?
Karl Barton's desktop RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) system is broken. There's a fix, but it raises the question: Why use RAID on a desktop system at all?
- "I have two hard drives (RAID 0, striped configuration) and am getting an error on one of them when my computer starts up. I was wondering what it could be. The computer seems to be running okay. It properly shows the total size of both drives — as do other places I check (hardware manager, properties, etc.)
"I have run Windows CHKDSK but found no errors."
My guess is that one of your drives isn't spinning up fast enough and is being left behind by the other drive at startup. With every other piece of data missing or delayed, the system can't start normally. However, once the drive has warmed up and is operating at normal speed, it works fine and passes your CHKDSK tests.
Uneven drive performance can happen when the drives' specs are significantly different or if one of the drives has sustained damage or heavy wear, causing it to behave differently from its twin.
Your note isn't clear about the age of the drive that's failing. With wear and time, a drive's lubricants slowly degrade and may become thickened, either through chemical changes or with tiny particles worn off the bearing surfaces.
Eventually, it shows up as reduced performance, especially at startup when the drives are cold — which is when you say your problem occurs.
Replacing the problematic drive(s) with exactly matching new drives will probably solve the startup problem.
But before you go that route, I suggest that you rethink your use of RAID. Most of the original impetus for RAID is now passé on desktop systems.
Invented in 1987, RAID is now considered ancient computer tech. The basic idea was simply to gang together several small, somewhat less-expensive drives as a way to overcome the high cost and low performance and reliability of the larger drives, then available.
For example, in 1987 a 10MB drive cost about $900, or a whopping $90 per megabyte.
But today, hard-drive storage cost has dropped by a factor of 10,000 (!) to around $0.09 per megabyte. (For example, you can buy a 1TB drive for about $90.) So saving money fails as a rational argument in favor of RAID.
RAID 0 striping was specifically invented to work around the throughput bottlenecks of the slow-spinning, slow-acting drives of the day. But today's top-notch, 10,000 RPM SATA drives are screamingly fast. With enormous throughput already available from a single drive, a RAID 0 setup really adds nothing to a desktop system except needless complexity.
There are a few special cases — especially in mission-critical server setups — where some varieties of RAID can provide highly effective fault tolerance and data redundancy. But, again, I think RAID is needless overkill on most desktop systems.
It's something to think about, Karl. A simpler setup may serve you better.
Are two image/backup tools better than one?
Don Cauble wants to be completely sure he can back up his system.
- "Is it not a good idea to have two drive-image programs, such as Acronis True Image and Macrium Reflect Free, to back up your system?"
One problem you may encounter with backup tools occurs when a vendor goes out of business. With new versions of Windows, the old, abandoned backup software may eventually stop working. But this isn't something that happens suddenly or without warning.
I suggest you find a tool that you like, that's easy to use, and that you know works well with your current setup. Use it religiously and you'll be all set.
Download and share MSE definition files
Terry Rothwell is using Microsoft Security Essentials and wants to manually download antivirus definitions, then install the saved file on many different PCs.
- "I have installed Microsoft Security essentials on many machines and inquire whether it is possible to import or copy the definitions from one machine to another without having to do individual updates, which takes quite a long time on each machine. If so, from where do I copy the data and what data do I copy?"
Go to Microsoft's Malware Protection Center site. (You may be asked for a Windows Live login; it's free, if you don't already have one.) Click Get the latest definitions in the menu bar and select Microsoft Security Essentials from the drop-down menu. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. Microsoft's Malware Protection Center portal is the place to download MSE virus definitions as standalone, sharable, executable files.
When you get to the MSE definition-installation page, scroll down to the paragraph labeled Step One and click on the download the latest definition updates link. When the download dialog opens, choose Save (as shown in Figure 2).
Figure 2. You can save the definition file to any convenient location and later share it by any means you wish.
Once saved, you can then move the definitions file from PC to PC via network, thumb drive, or whatever. Double-click on the file to run it; it will update the MSE definitions on whatever machine it's on.
Piece o' cake, Terry, and another example of how good MSE really is — and for free!

Here's a renter's problem: A lust for homegrown tomatoes, but no urge to expend bucks and brawn on a garden you'll leave behind in a year or two.
Here's a renter's solution: Straw-bale gardens. They don't cost much, can be dismantled after a season or two and - in theory - work great. They also sit up high enough to allow access for gardeners who can't bend down or crawl around to care for crops. The method has lots of buzz and there's plenty of online advice for those who want to try.
It almost seems too good to be true: You plant right into the straw, with a little top-dressing of soil if you like. ...

Is it fair to expect priests to be perfect? That's one of many questions asked by the riveting and borderline-nuts "The Monk."
Vincent Cassell gives a towering performance in the title role, an 18th-century French monk who defies his order and proffers a small kindness that begins a slide down the slippery slope to hell. And by "hell," I mean "Hell."
Cassell's Ambrosio offers shelter to a troubled soul, and before you can say, "Thou shalt not," he's naked and lolling on a pile of broken commandments.
Although the story is pretty out-there -- we're talking demons and crazed murderers -- "The Monk" takes the issue of faith seriously. Ambrosio gets in trouble because he tries to pursue the spirit of charity without following its rules, finding a gap between what the Roman Catholic Church says it wants to do and how it goes about it.
Ambrosio's dilemma is that he is a good man who cannot offer the blind faith he is supposed to offer, a dilemma that hits home in Cassell's tortured and astonishing reading of the sixth Psalm, the one that contains the line, "Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger."
Ambrosio gets rebuked a lot in "The Monk," which director Dominik Moll (who made the Hitchcockian "With a Friend Like Harry") fills with a sense of lurid Gothic dread. There's a gargoyle, an alluring sinner and an ominous musical chord behind every corner of "The Monk," which challenges Ambrosio with Job-like torments and challenges us with the mysteries of faith and sin.
In the end, "The Monk" has no answers, but it leaves us with many fascinating questions, the biggest of which may be: Who is the bigger sinner -- a person whose will is weak or a person who arrogantly proclaims his spiritual perfection?
Directed by: Dominik Moll
Starring: Vincent Cassell, Geraldine Chaplin
Rated: R, for full nudity, bloody violence and profanity
Should you go? It's garish and crazy (and in French), so it's probably not for everyone. But I can't imagine anyone getting bored. ***

First, Stop Obama's Madness
A two-step plan for the future majority party.
Sep 20, 2010, Vol. 16, No. 01 • By YUVAL LEVIN
Such a break, as a beginning and an organizing principle for the first stage of a Republican agenda, would be good policy and good politics. It would allow investors and employers to plan ahead, and so to begin spending and hiring. It would provide the larger public greater calm in a difficult economic time. It would make it more difficult for Democrats to use a lame duck session of Congress to implement radical plans (and indeed, Republicans should commit to retroactively repeal any legislation passed in the lame duck session other than essential budget bills). And it would be a realistic offer to voters: After all, Republicans can't run the government from the House of Representatives, or even from the House and a narrowly Republican Senate. They can act as a brake, but as long as President Obama remains in office they cannot really steer much.
Once some stability has been restored and the economy begins to show signs of life again, Republicans can turn to the second stage of a recovery agenda: climbing out of the hole by cultivating the necessary preconditions for vigorous economic growth. This would include easing the tax burdens on families and corporations to spur growth; reforming our entitlement system (through modest means testing and the gradual transformation of defined-benefit programs into defined-contribution programs) to make it both more rational and more sustainable in the long term; advancing genuine health care reform that would actually control costs by using market mechanisms; replacing the government-sponsored enterprises (like Fannie and Freddie) and reckless housing policies that helped spark the economic crisis; ending corporate welfare; reforming the federal budget process to improve its transparency and eliminate some opportunities for waste and corruption; and bringing federal spending and borrowing under control to avert a disastrous currency crisis.
The first stage of such an agenda—ceasing to do harm—will necessarily take up much of the next two years. And it is the essential precondition for the longer-term agenda (which most likely can begin in earnest only in 2012) of turning America back toward liberty, growth, and prosperity.
Republicans addressing an angry public this election season must be honest and humble. There is much they can do to help the country confront the awesome challenges we face, but it cannot all be done at once. First, they must keep Washington from making matters worse. Then, guided by a properly focused and limited sense of the government's purpose, they must work to restore and sustain America's strength.

Before Dispatch, Brad Corrigan formed two groups during his years at Middlebury College in Vermont; The Woodriver Bandits and Hermit Thrush. The Woodriver Bandits were founded as a project in 1993. Hermit Thrush came along in 1995. The two groups merged together and became One Fell Swoop later known as Dispatch in 1996.
Dispatch was active from 1996 to 2002. Brad Corrigan leads the group on vocals, drums, guitar, percussion and harmonica. Dispatch's music is drawn upon many genres, such as acoustic folk-rock, reggae and funk. They gained notable recognition throughout New England after college when they relocated to the greater Boston, Massachusetts area. They were signed with Universal Records and released their first album in 1996 called Silent Steeples. Their second album Bang Bang was released in 1998, Four-Day Trials (released in 1999) and Who are We Living For? (released in 2000).
Since their break up in 2002 they have come together to perform a series of reunion concerts. Their first and largest concert ever was in Boston on July 31, 2004, it was set to be a farewell concert to their fans with an estimated 110,000 audience. In 2007 they reunited for three shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City; July 13-15. All of the money raised from ticket sales went directly to charities that are fighting disease, famine and social injustice; the vast majority of the funds went to charities in Zimbabwe, though a portion was allocated to local charities that the band supports in the U.S. All three shows were sold out. Two years later Dispatch played an acoustic show at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. on June 12, 2009 at the request of Morgan Tsvangirai, Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. This was another benefit show for Zimbabwe, and the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe was in attendance. The show sold out within ten minutes of going on sale. Currently the band is on tour again. They announced early in 2011 they would be on tour travelling the U.S. through the month of June 2011.
Brad is currently doing some solo work of his own. His band Braddigan debuted their first album Watchfires in 2005. Their second album The Captive was released in 2007. He also has his own label, Third Surfer Music.
