Mette Ivie Harrison joins us again for a fun discussion of how we experience time. This episode runs a little differently. Howard shares an experience he had driving on black ice, Mette shares an experience about a bike accident during an Ironman, and Mary shares a story about falling down a flight of stairs.
Each of these stories point up the way that our perception of time can change. There are physiological reasons for this, and knowing just a little bit about that physiology can help us write this actual, real phenomenon in a way that does not seem cliché. We talk about how we can write time compression or dilation phenomenon in ways that seem fresh.

FarmVille + Drive To End Hunger Promotion Coming SoonThu ,23/08/2012
Zynga and FarmVille are teaming up with AARP's Drive to End Hunger in an upcoming promotion for FarmVille!
You can check out Jeff Gordon's (number 24) FarmVille NASCAR car decked out in the Drive To End Hunger paint job in the image above that we found at Jeff Gordon online.
This will most likely be a donation type program that FarmVille players will be able to participate in and we speculate that some of the FarmVille rewards could be that Grocery Pig and Grocery Trees we posted about yesterday.
More information on this upcoming promotion as it arrives.
What do you think of the FarmVille + Drive To End Hunger car? Are you excited about this upcoming promotion?

NOTE: This information applies to LightSwitch Beta 1 ONLY. For V1 release (RTM) please see Adding Static Images and Text on a LightSwitch Screen
We've had a couple questions on how you can add your own static images and logos to your LightSwitch applications so I thought I'd detail a few ways that you can do this to make your applications look a little more branded without having to load a completely different shell or theme. When you have an image property on your entity, LightSwitch handles creating a nice image editor for you to load and save images in your database. However sometimes you just want to add a static image or logo to your screens that aren't part of your data entities. There are a few ways you can do this.
The first method just displays an image onto the background of the application itself. You can see it when the application loads and also when all screens are closed. To add the logo to your application, go to Project –> Properties and select the General tab. There you can specify the Logo Image.
When you run your application the logo appears on the background of the main window area.
There are a couple ways you can add a static image to a screen. One way is by writing a little bit of code to load an image from the client resources and pop it onto a static screen property. This allows you to load any image from the client resources onto any screen. Open the screen designer and click "Add Data Item…" at the top and choose Local Property with a type of Image. I named the property MyImage:
Next drag the MyImage property to where you want it in the content tree. Note, however, that not all areas of the tree will allow you to drop the image if there is a binding already set to a group of controls. The trick is to manipulate the layout by selecting the right groups of controls (i.e. new groups of two rows or columns) and then binding them by selecting the data items you want. For instance let's say I have an image I want to place across the top of a screen and I want the rest of the controls to appear below that. In that case start, with a Two Row layout and for the top row content select the MyImage property and set the control to Image Viewer.
Then for the bottom row you can select the data item or collection you want to display. If you have a master-detail scenario, then you'll want more rows. For the bottom row select "New Group" for the content and then change the Vertical Stack to the Two Rows control. This technique lets you build up as many sections on the screen that you want. You can also select Two Column layout for positioning controls side-by-side.
For my example I'm working with data similar to the Vision Clinic walkthrough sample so I'll also add patient details as a two column layout and then under that I'll and the child prescriptions, appointments and invoices as a tabbed control of data grids on the bottom row (you can also tweak the layout of the screen at runtime for a live preview). So my content tree looks like this:
Okay now for the fun part – showing the static image on the MyImage screen property. What we need to do first is add the image to the client as a resource. To do that, switch to File View on the Solution Explorer, expand the Client project node, right-click on the UserCode folder and select Add –> Existing Item and choose your image file.
This will add the image as a resource to the client project. Next we need to write a bit of code to load the image into the screen property. Because the loading of the image resource is pretty boilerplate code, let's add a shared class that we can call from any screen. Right-click on the UserCode folder again and select Add –> Class and name the class ImageLoader. Write the following code:
Public Class ImageLoader ''' <summary> ''' Loads a resource as a byte array ''' </summary> ''' <param name="path">The relative path to the resource (i.e. "UserCode\MyPic.png")</param> ''' <returns>A byte array representing the resource</returns> ''' <remarks></remarks> Shared Function LoadResourceAsBytes(ByVal path As String) As Byte()
'Creates a URI pointing to a resource in this assembly Dim thisAssemblyName As New System.Reflection.AssemblyName(GetType(ImageLoader).Assembly.FullName)
Dim uri As New Uri(thisAssemblyName.Name + ";component/" + path, UriKind.Relative)
If uri Is Nothing Then Return Nothing End If 'Load the resource from the URI Dim s = System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(uri)
If s Is Nothing Then Return Nothing End If Dim bytes As Byte() = New Byte(s.Stream.Length) {}
s.Stream.Read(bytes, 0, s.Stream.Length)
Return bytes
End Function End Class
Now back on the screen designer drop down the "Write Code" button on the top right and select the Loaded method. Now all you need to do is call the ImageLoader with the relative path of the image:
Public Class PatientDetailScreen Private Sub PatientDetail_Loaded()
Me.MyImage = ImageLoader.LoadResourceAsBytes("UserCode/funlogo.png")
End Sub End Class
Run it and you will see the image loaded into the image viewer. You can customize the screen and change how the image is displayed by playing with the Content Size and Stretch properties.
The above technique works well if you have a lot of different static images across screens or if you are just using Visual Studio LightSwitch edition. However if you just have a single image you want to display on all your screens it may make more sense to build your own control and use that on your screens instead. This eliminates the need for any code on the client. If you have Visual Studio Professional edition or higher you can create a Silverlight Class Library in the same solution as your LightSwitch project. You can then add an image control into that library and then use it on your LightSwitch screens.
To make it easy I added a User Control and then just placed an image control on top of that using the designer. I then set the Stretch property to Fill and added the logo into the project and set it as the Source property of the image control using the properties window:
Rebuild the entire solution and then head back to the LightSwitch screen designer. First comment out the code from the Loaded method we added above if it's there. Change the control for MyImage to Custom Control. Then in the properties window click the "Change…" link to set the custom control. Add a reference to the Silverlight class library you built, select the control, and click OK.
Now when we run the screen we will see the static image control we created:
The nice thing about creating your own control is you can reuse it across screens and LightSwitch projects and there's no need to add any code on the client.
Hi MS.Beth thank you for this tutorial... pleas can Iask you about chang thems or Colors interface?
Hi Anwar,
You'll be able to do that by installing LightSwitch shell and theme extensions. We're working with partners and control vendors right now so extensions will be available when we release. We'll be creating a lot more content on extensibility when we release Beta 2.
Love this product. Keep up the good work
Thanks very very much Beth, I Love you and your Articles...
Nice, would you show us how to add pictures on the form login screen there Beth
This don't seem to work on beta2 is there another way to do it on beta 2?
@Jason - See this post: blogs.msdn.com/.../adding-static-images-and-text-on-a-lightswitch-screen.aspx
Does it have to be .png or can it be .jpg?
hi Beth, how are you ?
I have a question, how to create welcome screen in lightswitch and add an "animated gif picture" to the screen ?
can you help me with that ?
Hi Har,
Take a look at this post on how to create your own login screen that you can put images on: blogs.msdn.com/.../creating-a-custom-login-page-for-a-lightswitch-application.aspx
Hi Beth,
I will check it today then will reply you ASAP, thank you for your effort.
how are you ?
sorry for late, but I was so busy.
I've checked it and it's so helpful.
Thank you very much.
Hi Beth, don't you have a C# version?
1st thank you for great tutorials.
I would like to use image field in product table as text field (store the path instead OLE image) and it will show it as image (same as we do in web pages, we store image path and we show the image basing on the image path) because it will save a lot of space in database. It Will be great if you can show how I can do it.
"Saving Image Path as a String with LightSwitch".
I'm new to LIghtSwitch. I installed Microsoft LightSwitch Extensions and also installed LightSwitch Metro Theme. I clicked on "use in New Projects' and I also unclicked 'Use in New projects' for LightSwitch Metro Theme.
I cannot get the options to show up for General Properties selecting the Properties for my project. Is this compatible with VS 2012? thanks

Suffering and alone on trek through hell at Hayes Creek with serious burns
- From: NT News
- February 20, 2014
A HAYES Creek pensioner who walked 2km to a main road with burns to 60 per cent of her body has been flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Robyn Neilson, 74, tried to start a small fire to cook food at her Hayes Creek property, 170km south of Darwin, when the fuel she used ignited in her face early yesterday.
The pensioner, who tragically lost her home during a bushfire in September 2012, made her way to the Stuart Highway, where she was rescued by miners from Crocodile Gold and helped by staff from the Wayside Inn in the small town.
The miners spotted Ms Neilson after they had driven out of the Cosmo Deps gold mine shortly after 8am. It is believed five cars had earlier driven past without stopping.
The mine workers began treating her before taking her back to the medical centre at the mine.
The mine paramedic and Crocodile Gold staff continued to treat her as the CareFlight TIO Rescue Helicopter flew to the mine.
The CareFlight doctor said Ms Neilson, who has lived at Hayes Creek for 27 years, would have died if the miners had not seen her and started treatment.
She was placed in an induced coma and flown to the RDH.
After spending the night at the RDH, Mrs Neilson was flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital at 11am this morning.
She remains in a serious but stable condition.
Joe Miller, who works at the Hayes Creek Wayside Inn, said it was remarkable Ms Neilson survived the ordeal."This is a woman who has been through so much and she was able to walk 2km through three crossings to the main road," he said.
"We're all just really hoping she can pull through but it's looking touch-and-go."
In September 2012, Ms Neilson lost everything she owned, except the clothes she had on, her purse and her pet dog Shannah in the fire at her home. She was living in a caravan donated to her.
An investigation revealed Power and Water workers accidentally started the fire when a front-end loader caused a spark on a rock.
Mr Miller said Ms Neilson was a great presence around the Hayes Creek area and was friendly with the locals.
"It's just a really sad story - and her story needs to be told," he said.

|Pregnancy and delivery after anterior vaginal mesh replacement: a case presentation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22588136 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|A 36-year-old para 2 woman with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage III anterior prolapse and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was treated using Polypropylene monofilament anterior vaginal mesh kit. She conceived 3 months after mesh replacement. During pregnancy and after delivery, patient satisfaction was achieved in terms of symptom relief, and surgeon satisfaction was obtained in terms of anatomical results. Three years after cesarean section, she had no incontinence, and on exam, POP-Q score was Ba -2 cm. No mesh complication was noted, and no sexual dysfunction was declared. In summary, vaginal mesh kits can be used satisfactorily for patients with anterior prolapse and SUI who want to be pregnant.

Alabama representatives discuss legislation Tuesday at the State House in Montgomery.
The House of Representatives passed a bill that some legislators fear would eventually cause problems if enough doctors start opting out of public health insurance plans.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Becky Nordgren, R-Gadsden, would prohibit the state from withholding licenses to physicians, chiropractors, optometrists and dentists for not participating in any public or private health insurance plan, health care system or public service initiative.
Nordgren said the bill's purpose is ensuring that the licensing process is based solely on merit. ...

Leafs await call to action
Mark Zwolinski sports reporter
It seems the Maple Leafs' roster changes almost every time they hit the ice, and the makeover may not be over yet.
Twenty Leafs returned to practice on Wednesday, their first workout since the NHL went on Olympic hiatus 10 days ago.
It gave the team its first glimpse at Jamie Lundmark, picked up on waivers from Calgary Feb. 13.
"It's my first day here so I don't know a lot about what's going on here, but I've been on teams that have moved 10 guys at the trade deadline," Lundmark said.
The Leafs' roster is frozen until the Olympics end Sunday. The NHL trade deadline arrives Wednesday and it's likely Lundmark won't be the last new face added to the roster.
Toronto has two pending unrestricted free agents – Alex Ponikarovsky and Lee Stempniak – who could be attractive at the deadline for playoff teams looking to add depth.
Leafs GM Brian Burke has said he would consider almost any deal if it improves his club or comes with a desirable draft pick.

Opponents of a "high quality" apartment complex proposed for Big Cut Road failed to get enough Placerville City Council votes to prevent it. despite their charges that its density was too high.
The council voted 3-2 to uphold the Planning Commission's approval of the site plan review. The decision came Tuesday night, when nearly 100 people attended the council meeting to watch and debate the issue.
Early last month when the Planning Commission deliberated the project, which calls for a 13-unit apartment complex between Big Cut Road and Benham Court, it met no resistance from the public.
Thus the decision seemed to clear the way for applicants Ted Spinardi and Sierra Land Design to proceed with development of the apartments, which developers said are geared towards senior citizens and could rent for around $700 a month.
But a resident later appealed the commission's decision, forwarding the matter to the City Council …
Deputy Sheriff Ernie Carlson, criminal deputy in the office of Rowland Morris, is leaving the force to become associated in a cattle feeding operation near Phoenix, Arizona, Morris announced yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Clifton is being shifted to Carlson's duties, Morris said.
Carlson, who has been with Morris for three and a half years and aided in solving most of the major crimes, including the Clarksville murder of 1949, has submitted his resignation effective December 1.
He and Mrs. Carlson will likely make their home at Chandler, Arizona, he said …
Morris said Carlson will remain a deputy of his staff, and was made an honorary deputy at large of the El Dorado County Sheriff's Posse, of which he has been a leading member.
Several members of the Sheriff's Posse, Shereffettes and friends including Grant McCoy of the Nevada State Horsemen's Association and Douglas Smith of the Washoe County (Nevada) Horsemen's Association, attended the Grand National Horse Show and Rodeo at the Cow Palace Saturday …
The new proprietors of the Ohio House intend to expend a large sum of money in renovating and improving that property, and they are anxious to have Main and Sacramento streets macadamized in front of the premises. In order to have this done they offered to furnish any kind of crushed rock the city might name, on cars at the depot free of charge. The City Council accepted their proposition and Marshal Hardy has ordered 150 tons of crushed rock for that purpose. The new proprietors of the Ohio have put up the money in advance to pay for it.

A public relations (PR) specialist helps promote and elevate awareness of a company, brand, or individual. They also help ensure that awareness in the public eye remains positive. They work with a variety of media, from the the web to more traditional media outlets such as TV, radio, and newspapers. They coordinate with marketing teams on branding and promotion to ensure consistency.Read More...
Much of the PR specialist's work involves helping to execute marketing or advertising strategies. They may work with Internet content providers to advertise and promote organizations through social media, blogs, and other means. They work through local media to help publicize special events and other relevant news related to the entity they represent. In some cases, they also work to help defuse unfavorable situations by ensuring that a company's message gets out and is received favorably. They often work with a corporate communications team to craft a message and then make sure that message informs everyone who give statements on behalf of the organization.
Much of the time, a public relations specialist works regular business hours; however that schedule can be frequently interrupted by the need to help promote evening events or the occurrence of negative situations requiring the specialist's attention at all hours of the day.
A PR specialist must possess outstanding communication skills. The education requirements are normally a bachelor's degree in business or communication. Specialists also normally have at least three to five years of public relations experience.

Video: Gov. Scott, Crist weigh in on medical marijuana
TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP/WTSP) - A Florida measure that would allow the use of medical marijuana has cleared its final hurdle and will be on the November ballot.
The state Supreme Court on Monday approved the language for the proposed constitutional amendment.
The justices approved the ballot summary 4-3 just three days after a petition drive reached the required number of signatures to place the measure on the ballot. Elections supervisors have certified 710,508 signatures, more than the 683,149 needed to get on the ballot.
The proposed amendment would allow doctors to prescribe marijuana for debilitating conditions.
Republican Attorney General
Pam Bondi challenged the ballot summary, arguing that
the language will mislead voters into allowing more widespread use of
medical marijuana than they would be led to believe in the 74-word
Personal injury lawyer John Morgan has spent about $4 million to place the issue before voters.
Gov. Rick Scott is opposed to medical marijuana. His Democrats challengers, state Sen. Nan Rich and former Gov. Charlie Crist, both support it.
"I have a great deal of empathy for people battling difficult diseases and I understand arguments in favor of this initiative," Gov. Scott said in a statement. "But, having seen the terrible affects of alcohol and drug abuse first-hand, I cannot endorse sending Florida down this path and I would personally vote against it. No matter my personal beliefs, however, a ballot initiative would be up to the voters to decide."
Conversely, Crist issued this statement following the Supreme Court ruling: "This is an issue of compassion, trusting doctors, and trusting the people of Florida. I will vote for it."
Nan Rich tweeted that she endorses medical marijuana and signed the petition to get it on the November ballot. "Glad voters will have a chance to end suffering & bring hope to families," she added.

AUBURN TOWNSHIP -- When Ty Yurkovich went to Cal Ripken Baseball Camp one summer, he knew he'd come back a better pitcher.
What he didn't know is that he would come back with a lifelong friend.
It's a friendship that hardly started with words. That's because Constant was from France.
"I was playing catch with someone, and it turns out I was playing catch with someone that didn't even speak English!" Ty Yurkovich said.
"At first I was lost, but there was this one guy helping me, and that was Ty," Constant Clermont explained.
Ty and Constant have spent two years at Ripken camp together, but they didn't have to this year.
That's because Constant's team from France packed their bags and flew across the pond to spend time playing America's pastime on American soil.
Constant's Dad, and coach, Gilles Clermont explained that baseball isn't a very popular sport in his country. "Here in ten days we play ten games," said Gilles. He said in France there are very few baseball fields. In America there is one at nearly every school!"
"We were out there on the field teaching them some lead-off and pick-off moves- things they aren't accustomed to in France," said Ty's Dad Dennis. He is an assistant coach for the Lookout's Baseball Team.
The trip took major coordination and cooperation between parents in both Northeast Ohio and in France.
Each French family was hosted by a member of the Lookout's. In addition to playing in baseball games they went to see the Indians Play at Progressive Field.
They toured Kenston Intermediate School and the ballfields there.
The boys, whose friendship helped make the trip possible, hope to see each other again very soon. "This experience is awesome," said Ty. "I love being here with Ty," Constant said.

MSPs to tackle sectarianism at football matches
MSPs will hear evidence from football fans, pundits and academics on legislation to tackle hate crime at football matches. Fans of Dundee United, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts football clubs will also be represented. In addition academics from the University of Abertay in Dundee and Queens University in Belfast will speak at the meeting. The SNP originally wanted to pass a bill tackling sectarianism before parliament went into recess ahead of the football season kicking off. However opposition parties raised concerns over the speed of change and First Minister Alex Salmond agreed it would not be rushed through as emergency legislation.

Zimbabwe: Mugabe not illComment on this story
Harare - Zimbabwean authorities on Thursday denied reports that President Robert Mugabe has extended his annual leave due to ill health.
"The President goes on leave every year in January," Mugabe's spokesman George Charamba told AFP.
"He is still on leave and how can he be seeking an extension when we have not come to the end of January?"
Charamba also denied reports that the veteran leader was unwell.
"As far as I know, he is well and enjoying his rest."
Mugabe, who turns 90 next month, has been on his traditional annual leave since early January, making one of his regular visits to Singapore.
The government previously announced that his deputy Joice Mujuru will be acting president until the end of the month.
Last week Mugabe was seen visiting his sister at a local hospital.
Mugabe's health has been the subject of much speculation in recent years, with suggestions that his visits to the Far East are for medical treatment.
In 2011 he said in jest that he had resurrected more times than Jesus Christ, after media reports that he had died on holiday.
His spokesman said then that Mugabe had gone for a review following an eye operation.
A diplomatic cable from 2008, leaked two years ago by whistleblower website WikiLeaks, quoted Mugabe's close ally and former central bank chief Gideon Gono as telling former US ambassador Christopher Dell that Mugabe had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Not to boast or anything, but I knew that Gong Weijie was going to beat Chetan Anand. This kid is good, and were it not for Chen Long's stellar performance against Wong Choong Han, I would say he's a shoe in for the finals. I do however still think he will beat Chen Long, but like I said in my last post, I haven't seen Chen Long play so I can't really say for sure.
The only quarter-final that did not go to three games was Eric Pang's match against Korea's Hong Ji Hoon. Pang won 21-8, 21-14 and now faces Bao Chunlai in the semi-finals. Bao defeated England's top ranked player in the world Andrew Smith in three games 21-11, 14-21, 21-7. Smith is a strong player, but he hasn't quite cracked that next level where he's beating top 10 players yet, but once he gets that first win it will certainly give him that confidence.
Bao Chunlai def Andrew Smith 21-11, 14-21, 21-7

Italian Architecture
( Originally Published Early 1900's )
Italian Architecture.—After the dismemberment of the Roman empire, the arts degenerated so far that a custom became prevalent of erecting new buildings with the fragments of old ones, which were dilapidated and torn down for the purpose. This gave rise to an irregular style of building, which continued to be imitated, especially in Italy, during the dark ages. It consisted of Grecian and Roman details, combined under new forms, and piled up into structures wholly unlike the unique originals. Hence the names Greco-Gothic and Romanesque architecture have been given to it. After this came the Italian style, which was professedly a revival of the classic styles of Greece and Rome, but adapted to new manners and wants — a kind of transition from ancient to modern times. Its great master was Andrea Palladio, a Venetian (born 1518, died 1580).
There are considerable variety and beauty in the foliate and other enrichments of an architectural character in many structures in Italy, but very little ornament enters into the columnar composition of Italian architecture. Friezes, instead of being sculptured, are swollen; the shafts of columns are very seldom fluted, and their capitals are generally poor in the extreme ; moldings are indeed sometimes carved, but not often ; rustic masonry, ill-formed festoons, and gouty balustrades for the most part supply the place of chaste and classic ornaments.

Google's position as the default search engine on Apple's mobile devices is drawing scrutiny from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Apple has been subpoenaed for information on its deals with Google to make it the preferred search engine on iPhones and iPads, according to Bloomberg.
The FTC has asked Apple for documents that will reveal the nature of the agreements between the two companies, as it investigates whether Google is abusing its dominance in the mobile search space, two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. This is part of the larger FTC investigation of Google's practices.
Google became the default search engine on iPhones in 2007 and iPads since 2010 – it was reported that Apple receives $1 billion per year from Google for making Google the default search engine in iOS devices and on Safari on desktop devices. Google Maps is the default mapping application, though Apple may be beginning to shift away a bit from Google, recently ditching Google Maps for OpenStreetMap.
Both Apple and Google declined to comment.
Several of Google's key rivals, including Microsoft, have filed complaints with both U.S. and European regulators, citing their concerns with Google's market dominance, with the European Commission launching its own investigation into the firm last year.
It has yet to decide whether it will bring any charges against Google, despite compiling a document some 400+ pages long outlining its concerns with the firm's practices and market power.
Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt also appeared before members of the U.S. Senate to answer questions relating to the firm's market dominance. At that time, he was forced to strongly deny suggestions the firm may have been "cooking the books" to improve the search rankings of its own services over those of rivals.

When I'm programming, I usually anthroporporphize the code and the actors involved, and that means when I'm thinking about program flow, I think of it as if they're real actors doing the tasks needed, and then I convert that back into code. But, when reading other people's code, I often times find it hard to convert back into my internal actor-based representation. I realized that this is because the term "Object Oriented Programming" should likely be called "Subject Oriented Programming" I'm using the term Subject the way you use it when describing English sentence structure. Take a look at this:
"The boy put the box in the bag."
Just to refresh your grade school English (which I had to do as well), take a brief look at the sentence diagramming article on wikipedia. Our sentence above boils down to:
Subject: "The boy"
Predicate & Direct object: "put the box"
Indirect object: "in the bag"
How would you represent that in code? Think about it for a second before continuing. So, here are the possibilities of how this could be written with a single method call:
// Subject-Oriented programming: // "The boy put the box in the bag" boy.PutIn(box, bag); // Direct-object oriented programming: // "The box was put in the bag by the boy" box.PutIn(bag, boy); // Indirect-object oriented programming: // "The bag, to which was added a box, was done by the boy." OR // "A bag now has a box that was put there by the boy." bag.AddTo(box, boy);
So, which is correct via the principles of OOP? What's the correct place for the method that does the work? Is it on the Subject of the sentence? The Direct Object? Were you taught how to design this? (i.e. in school?)
In practice, method placement is one of the biggest factors in how maintainable & testable your code is, and code is rarely as simple as what I've shown above. How do you figure out where the right place for your methods are?
One code base where this was thought about a lot was in Python's handling of string & list methods. The split() and join() methods in Python are both on the string type. In other words: The list type is rigid in that its methods contain no string-manipulation. This seems good at first until you read the code:
s = "Hello, world" # Split the string into a list of "Hello" and "world": l = s.split(',') # Now, take that resulting list, and join it back together: j = ','.join(l)
Wow, that last line looks weird! What's going on there? We're creating a temporary string "," and then calling the join() method! Weird! For that last line, I would have much preferred to write:
j = l.join(',')
To be symmetric with the original splitting code, but to write things that way would place a string generating method "join()" on the list class, which also seems wrong.

MasterCard is acquiring the Travelex operations that manage and deliver consumer and corporate prepaid travel cards to business partners around the world, including financial institutions, retailers, travel agents and foreign exchange bureaus. These operations also manage cross-border payroll, per-diem and expense-management prepaid cards for corporations. MasterCard has no plans to issue cards directly as a result of this transaction.
As part of the transaction, MasterCard and Travelex signed a long-term contract whereby MasterCard will provide program management services for the Travelex Cash Passport prepaid card sold through Travelex stores and online channels. Travelex, the world's largest foreign-exchange specialist, pioneered the growing prepaid travel card market with its Cash Passport card, which provides international travellers a more secure and convenient way to carry and spend money abroad.
The deal is an extension of a strong and long-term partnership between MasterCard and Travelex. Last year, the two companies expanded their relationship by agreeing to convert the majority of Travelex card programs to the MasterCard brand and by implementing the global prepaid transaction-processing capabilities of MasterCard Integrated Processing Solutions™ (IPS). MasterCard IPS provides financial institutions world-class debit and prepaid processing solutions that are scalable, reliable, secure and flexible.
"The acquisition of Travelex's CPM operations underscores MasterCard's commitment to the global prepaid business, which remains a key strategic focus for us," said Ajay Banga, MasterCard president and chief executive officer. "This acquisition enables MasterCard to play a greater role in the prepaid value chain, allowing us to shape the future of prepaid, especially in high-growth markets and in the attractive cross-border payments space where we can displace cash and traveler's cheques."
Peter Jackson, CEO of Travelex, commented: "The sale of CPM will allow us to accelerate our investment plans, particularly in higher growth regions such as Asia and South America and in the growing e-commerce channel. MasterCard is a great partner of Travelex and we are also pleased to continue to offer our customers the benefits of the Travelex Cash Passport. The sale follows a strong year for the Group in which we have continued to extend our global footprint and deliver a strong performance."
The acquisition furthers MasterCard's strategic business goals. Adding Travelex's CPM operations strengthens MasterCard's suite of global prepaid business assets allowing the company to focus on countries outside of the U.S. to accelerate prepaid market entry and growth. The transaction is consistent with MasterCard's commitment to working with partners and issuers around the world to issue MasterCard prepaid cards and deliver the most innovative prepaid card solutions to the marketplace

Team USA takes on The World
News Release
USA Football, the sport's national governing body on youth and amateur levels, will hold the first "Team USA vs. The World" game in Ft. Lauderdale's Lockhart Stadium on Jan. 30, 2010. The game will match USA Football's 2010 Junior National Team - 45 of the country's top high school seniors - against a "World" team composed of the best players aged 19 and under from outside the United States, spanning four continents.
The head coach of USA Football's team is Chris Merritt, head coach of Miami Christopher Columbus High School. Merritt was the 2009 USA Football Junior National Team's defensive backs coach that earned a gold medal in Canton, Ohio, this past July in the eight-nation International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Junior World Championship. The tournament was the first junior world championship in football history, drawing more than 40,000 fans to Canton's Fawcett Stadium during the course of four game days. Merritt has led his Columbus H.S. Explorers to district titles in 2001, '03, '04, '05, '07 and '08, including undefeated regular seasons in '05, '07 and '08. In the past seven seasons, he has helped more than 30 of his student-athletes reach Division I or I-AA college football. Merritt, who owns a 74-20 (.787) record at Columbus High School, will lead a staff of nine American high school head coaches from five states.
Jan Jenmert, head coach of Sweden's junior national football team, will lead the 45-man "World" roster. Jenmert's 12-man coaching staff spans seven IFAF member nations on four continents.
With national football federations in existence worldwide for decades, IFAF, the sport's international federation, was created in 1998 to organize and further develop the game through global cooperation and competition. IFAF is comprised of 57 member nations on five continents, all of which possess national federations dedicated solely to American football. USA Football is the United States' delegate to IFAF.
Both teams will practice in Ft. Lauderdale during the week of the game. The NFL has designated the "Team USA vs. The World" game as an official Pro Bowl Week event. The Jan. 30 contest will kick off at 1 p.m. ET, immediately following AFC and NFC All-Star practices at Lockhart Stadium, which will be open to the public. Fans will not be charged admission to attend the multi-national showdown.
"USA Football shares in the enthusiasm for January's game with the dozens of national football federations across the globe," said USA Football Executive Director Scott Hallenbeck. "This is a significant event for the sport's continued international popularity and it will be an incredible experience for our players and coaches to represent the United States in America's favorite game."
USA Football's roster will be hand-selected through research and film study and will be announced before Jan. 1. In addition to being among the country's top players, these young men will represent football's inherent values of teamwork and leadership befitting a national team.
"On behalf of IFAF and the 57 countries on five continents that love and play organized football, we are ecstatic to have the world's best high school-aged players compete in a great football setting like South Florida amid the NFL's Pro Bowl and Super Bowl," said IFAF President Tommy Wiking. "Jan. 30 will be an exciting day for our game on many levels. The players and coaches will hail from various countries and cultures, but they're united by a passion for American football. It will be an exciting celebration of the sport."
The "Team USA vs. The World" game will be played under NCAA rules with 12-minute quarters.

Judge tosses Moncier lawsuits
County has authority to appoint replacements, according to ruling
Both suits, filed in April and September 2006 by Knoxville lawyer Herbert S. Moncier, have sat sidelined since five Knox County commissioners sued over the validity of the county charter itself in an attempt to challenge their impending term limits.
That case was decided in January by the state Supreme Court, which upheld the charter and its two-term limit, and allowed the 12 outgoing officeholders to stay in office until commission could appoint their replacements.
The replacements were named Jan. 31. As per the high court's ruling - and state law - the 12 appointed officials should serve abbreviated terms until the county's next general election to fill the vacancies in August 2008.
That course of events has rendered Moncier's leftover lawsuits a moot point now, argued attorneys for Knox County, the county Election Commission, the Tennessee coordinator of elections and former Sheriff Tim Hutchison.
"Tim Hutchison is not the sheriff of Knox County at this time," said Hutchison's attorney, Robert Watson, whose client has been the target of numerous suits by Moncier in the past. "I don't know what kind of relief or remedy he wants from my client at this time."
Like Watson, attorneys for the other defendants all argued the lack of authority under state law that would require a special election to fill a vacancy and, referencing the Supreme Court's prescribed solution, asked that Moncier's suits be dismissed.
Moncier, however, said the high court's ruling does not specifically declare last year's May primary and August general elections void, although it does deem the now-ousted officeholders as unqualified. Therefore, he argued, the offices legally have not been vacated and a valid election has yet to be held.
"A matter that is void did not occur," Moncier said. "The people have never had an election to fill those offices. The remedy for a void election, for the people, is a new election."
Referencing a myriad of case law and state statutes, he asked that Fansler order the Election Commission to organize and schedule the new election.
While Moncier's filings came specifically on behalf of 11 people, including former Knox County Commissioner Bee DeSelm and failed write-in candidate for sheriff Carl Seider, he repeatedly asserted his arguments on behalf of the people.
"The people of Knox County have never been represented (in the charter turmoil)," Moncier said.
After some four hours of arguments, Fansler offered a quick ruling that he warned would not be as "flowery or lengthy" as others on the issue.
"If there is a will of the people I believe it's that the people would like to see a resolution to all this litigation," Fansler said.
The Supreme Court's ruling obviously implies that the offices are vacant as it deems the officeholders ineligible, he said. And it goes on to reference the process in state law that gives county legislative bodies the authority to appoint the replacements, Fansler added.
"I don't think we'd have to strain so hard to find the court's authority if the court had the authority to order a new election, or special election," he said, rendering the cases moot.
