text: A sprinkling of high-quality salt can make any dish simply sing. For its flavorful finishing salts, Jacobsen Salt Co. gathers water from pristine Netarts Bay, on the rugged Oregon coastline. Using custom methods perfected by company founder Ben Jacobsen, the water is slowly evaporated until it naturally forms light, delicate salt crystals, which are hand harvested and dried, creating coarse pyramid-shaped flakes with complex flavor. These petite tins of Jacobsen's signature sea salt slip easily into a bag, pocket or purse to have on hand to elevate your next meal on the go, whether it's a hearty breakfast of eggs and toast, a simple salad with ripe tomatoes or even a warm chocolate chip cookie.

Lance-mania hits foothills
By: Todd Mordhorst Journal Sports Editor
Nevada City Classic to host Armstrong, Leipheimer, Landis and thousands of fans
The streets of Nevada City will be buzzing like never before Sunday afternoon. Bolstered by the news that both Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer will be in town for the 49th Nevada City Bicycle Classic, race director Duane Strawser expects record crowds for the criterium-style competition. "All the powers that be — CalTrans and CHP — are gearing up for a huge turnout," Strawser said Thursday. "I would guess we'd have double the crowd — 10 or 12,000, but some people are saying it could be more like 30 to 50,000." Armstrong announced on Twitter earlier this week he and his Astana teammate Leipheimer would make the trip to Nevada City on Tuesday afternoon. "Levi and myself are racing the Nevada City Classic next Sunday. A great American race!!!" the seven-time Tour de France champion wrote. "BTW, I believe the last time I did Nevada City was 1990. Uh, long time ago. Psyched to go back." Armstrong came out of retirement this year and is headed to the Tour de France next month. Leipheimer won the Tour of California in February and is enjoying a stellar season as the leader of the Astana team. Leipheimer, from Santa Rosa, won the Nevada City Classic in 1998. Chris Horner, another Astana rider, will also make the trip to Nevada City, giving Armstrong plenty of support for what Strawser believes will be an inspired performance. "From the e-mails we've exchanged and the Twitters I've seen from Lance, my guess is this is a loose end he's trying to tie up in his career," Strawser said. "He was second here 1991, so we're guessing he's not just going to come and make an honorary appearance. He's coming to win." The Nevada City Classic will see competitors looping through the historic streets of the old mining town along Highway 49. The professional riders will race for 90 minutes around the 1.1-mile loop, reaching speeds of more than 50 mph. The Tour of Nevada City bike shop has been inundated with e-mails and phone calls all week with people from all over the country making plans to see Sunday's race. Riders have been registering at a frantic pace since Armstrong's announcement as well. Floyd Landis, who won the 1996 Tour de France, but was stripped of his title because of a doping violation, is expected to ride along with Sacramento's Chad Gerlach, who dominated the Auburn Criterium last month. Sunday's intimate course and competitive field of more than 125 professionals should provide a special atmosphere. "It's basically one of those things where you do your best to put on an event to draw guys like that," Strawser said. "They're almost always in Europe getting ready for the Tour de France this time of year, but (the Astana team) was actually in Aspen, Colo. training. Within a day, they decided to come. "They have anywhere from 10 to 15 events making six-figure offers for them to come race every weekend," Strawser added. "This race has earned its reputation, I think it's a notch above most. It's a non-profit event and all the money goes back to the purse." Races begin at 1 p.m. Sunday with junior males and females hitting the course. The professional women will begin at 3 p.m., followed by the men's elite division and then the pros.

Comments On Aug 24, 2008:Love this thing! it keeps the filter so clean that after 2 weekend long trips to the sand dunes i still can't talk my self into cleaning it. i inspect it after every ride and usually clean it but after i installed this prefilter it still looks way clean and all the oil is still on the filter and in good shape. I plan on cleaning the filter anyway because it's always better to play safe but after 4 days of riding in the sand it's still clean. I'm sure this prefilter will pay for its self with all the cleaner, oil and time i will save. now i want to buy one of these for all my bikes! and I Plan on it! I believe this is the filter for the longer K&N

John Groce wanted a big man in the class of 2013 and on Tuesday he snared his top target in Springboro (OH) native Maverick Morgan. Morgan, a 6'10 Center who is ranked as the #148 player in the Rivals 150 for 2013, chose Illinois over Wisconsin, Minnesota, Xavier, Dayton, and Vanderbilt. Morgan joins wing Malcolm Hill, the #52 player in the class of 2013, in the Illini recruiting class for 2013. Why Illinois?Morgan made his commitment following his visit on Tuesday where he received an offer from John Groce and the University of Illinois. However, Morgan was a player that was offered and had a previous relationship with Groce and his staff from their days at Ohio.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Robert Brown made a short jumper with 12.3 seconds left to lift Virginia Tech to a 66-65 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday.
Brown, who previously made one of his last 10 shots, had the ball with the shot clock winding down before driving into the lane for the score and getting fouled. He missed the free throw.
Wake Forest called a timeout with 8.8 seconds left to setup the final play. C.J. Harris missed a contested jumper in the lane and Tyler Cavanaugh missed the put back. Virginia Tech's Jarell Eddie got the rebound as time expired.
Erick Green, the nation's leading scorer at 24.8 points per game heading into the contest, scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half for the Hokies (11-6, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Eddie finished with 18 points.
Travis McKie had 20 points and 15 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (9-8, 2-3).

Head to head battles between Georgia and Georgia Tech are inevitable in one of the most talent rich states in the country, and the Bulldogs have taken the latest showdown as Alpharetta defensive end/outside linebacker Naim Mustafaa has committed to UGA.
"I committed on my visit today," said Mustafaa. "I am a Dawg."
Mustafaa's commitment gives Georgia 20 for the current class, and he is the first commitment at the all important outside linebacker position in the Todd Grantham's 3-4 defense.
The four star prospect has made it clear on multiple occasions that he wants to rush the passer at the next level, and with this pledge, he has the opportunity to join a defense that has produced Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston and All American outside linebacker Jarvis Jones. ...More...

Portland Rock

Portland Rock is a small island within the boundaries of Portland Beach, Liberty City. The rock also contains a lighthouse. The Portland Rock appears in the final mission of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, The Sicilian Gambit. The rock is unreachable in Grand Theft Auto III. If the player manages to reach it, the player will be forced to slide down the island. The stairs leading to the rock was probably cut off from the water by a storm or was not maintained.
One way to get up to the lighthouse in the PC version of GTA 3 is to take a boat to the island, turn your back towards the island and then jump up the island backwards.

New film and show planned for Tina Fey
After receiving a fourth Screen Actors Guild award, comedian Tina Fey will be busy creating a new show for US network NBC.PT1M25S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2di3s 620 349 January 29, 2013
30 Rock might be coming to a close after seven seasons, but it won't be the last we'll see of Tina Fey on the small screen. The creator and star of the show has revealed she has a deal with US network NBC to develop a new show.
I look forward to another generation of nerds finding it and enjoying it.
Speaking to the press on Monday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, she said: "My [creative] partner Robert Carlock and I have a new overall deal with NBC to eventually - over the next couple of years - develop another television show."
"Amy I've known you since you were pregnant with Lena Dunham" ... Tina Fey wins for 30 Rock. Photo: AFP
Carlock is a frequent collaborator of Fey's and is a writer and producer on 30 Rock whose credits include Friends and Saturday Night Live.
Fey also announced she was planning to co-star with The Office's Steve Carell in the movie comedy Mail Order Bride. The film is still in development, reportedly co-written by Carlock with shooting expected to take place during the US summer. It will be a second outing for Carrell and Fey who previously had success with the movie comedy Date Night in 2010.
At the SAG event, Fey won best actress in a television comedy for her role in 30 Rock, beating the likes of Amy Poehler of Parks and Recreation and Modern Family's Sofia Vergara. The win was especially sweet for Fey as shooting on 30 Rock had just finished with the final episode of the NBC comedy due to air in the US later this week.
Hey y'all ... Tina Fey and Julianne Moore meet on stage at the SAG awards. Photo: AFP
In Fey's acceptance speech, she urged people to tune in to the finale: "Our finale is on this Thursday at eight, up against The Big Bang Theory. Just tape The Big Bang Theory for once, for crying out loud. Thank-you."
Fey also thanked her fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus and good friend Poehler: "I share this with my sweet friend Amy Poehler, who I've known for so long. I've stolen so many of your moves.
"Amy, I've known you since you were pregnant with Lena Dunham. I've known you so long and I love you."
Fey, who came into mainstream consciousness with her portrayal of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, was presented with the SAG award by Julianne Moore, who played Sarah Palin in the acclaimed mini-series Game Change.
Speaking of Moore's portrayal, Fey said: "I thought Julianne was incredible in Game Change. I thought she really disappeared into the character ... she did an excellent job, a real film acting job. You wouldn't want a sketch performance in that movie. I thought she was great."
Fey said she hoped 30 Rock would live on in reruns.
"I really hope 30 Rock has a long life in syndication. I look forward to another generation of nerds finding it and enjoying it."
The final season of 30 Rock will air on Seven in 2013.

Exercise and the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease
Lack of exercise is a risk factor for developing coronary artery disease (CAD). Lack of physical activity can indirectly increase the risk of CAD, because it also increases the risk for diabetes and high blood pressure. Regular physical activity can help reduce your risk of CAD by helping you control cholesterol and blood pressure, regulate blood sugar (important for people with diabetes), and lose weight or stay at a healthy weight.1
Regular exercise is essential not only for preventing CAD but also for improving your overall heart health.
It also is possible that regular physical activity increases the number of smaller blood vessels that connect different coronary arteries. If one of the major coronary arteries is suddenly blocked, these collateral blood vessels serve as an alternate route to supply blood to the portion of the heart muscle threatened by a heart attack.
- Exercise doesn't have to be difficult. Any activity that raises your heart rate can be considered exercise, such as walking, cycling, swimming, gardening, or dancing.
- Try to do moderate exercise at least 2½ hours a week. One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. Or try to do vigorous activity at least 1¼ hours a week.2 One way to do this is to be active 25 minutes a day, at least 3 days a week. It's fine to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week. You can choose to do one or both types of activity. But if you have never exercised, even 5 minutes of walking each day is a good start. Add more as you are able.
- Talk to your doctor before you start an exercise program if you have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease; have been sedentary for a long period of time; or have other heart, lung, or metabolic diseases, such as diabetes.
- Report any symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness of breath, to your doctor immediately.

Nineteen-year-old Polish MMA prodigy Marcin Held (10-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC) is the final competitor added to Bellator's season-four lightweight tournament.
The promotion today announced Held's participation in the eight-man competition, which kicks off next month and airs live on MTV2 as part of the organization's 12-week season.
Additionally, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has been able to confirm that Held is expected to meet Mike Chandler (5-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC) at Bellator 36, which takes place March 12 at a date and location to be determined.
"I'm very eager to show fans here in America what I can do in this lightweight Tournament," Held stated in Bellator's release. "I have been waiting for this for so long. I just want to show my best."
A Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt, Held owns five of his 10 victories by way of submission. MMAjunkie.com recently profiled him in our popular "Fight Path" series, in which he talked about turning pro at 16, dominating his native country Poland's competition, and wanting to get an opportunity on one of MMA's big stages.
With that goal now achieved, he joins Rob McCullough, Carey Vanier, Chandler, Lloyd Woodard, Ferrid Kheder, Toby Imada and Patricky Freire in the tournament.
"Marcin is a young fighter with a lot of hype surrounding him, and I'm happy that we've been able to bring him to the states and let U.S. fans see what he's capable of," Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated in the release. "Marcin's a true talent with great potential and will make a fantastic addition to our lightweight tournament."
For more on Bellator 36, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Banned Sports Language
Read this article about words that should be banned from the English language.
Made me think about what words and phrases I'd ban from the sports world.
Mainly, clichés like "one game at a time," "someone needs to step up," and "controlling one's destiny."
Of course, teams can only take things one game at a time, that's all that's played at a time.
And shouldn't players always be striving to step up???
Plus, as Bob Costas pointedly noted on NBC's Football Night in America, you CAN'T CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY PEOPLE, destiny means it out of one's hands.
What you can control, however, is your own path!!!

Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF)'s fifth medium strategic plan, launched by Finance Deputy Permanent Secretary Dr Servacius Likwelile at in Dar es Salaam on Friday, lays a general structure upon which annual work plans and budgets will be crafted over the next four years.
ESRF envisages becoming a centre of excellence in capacity development for policy analysis and development management. Staff Writer Telesphor Magobe interviewed ESRF Executive Director Dr H Bohela Lunogelo on socio-economic research output and application.
Read on…
QUESTION: What is ESRF doing?
Answer: ESRF is one of the two African think tanks actively engaged in an international network to monitor the implementation of the Istanbul Plan of Action (IPOA) adopted during the last United Nations Least Developed Countries (UN-LDC IV) in May, last year. It has been engaged by the government during the preparation of Tanzania's Development Vision 2025 in 1999 and last year in reviewing the strides achieved 10 years after, whose findings were considered during the preparation of this medium-term plan (2012-2015) and a long-term perspective plan (2012-2025).
It has also been involved in policies and strategies for the East Africa Community (EAC) and in monitoring harmonisation of policies for integration processes in the EAC and Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) regional blocs and has participated in World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial conferences.
QUESTION: If you look back and assess ESRF, what have you achieved so far since its inception?
ANSWER: One of the success stories since its inception in 1993 is a change of mindset of both public and private sector operators with regard to new challenges posed by a shift from a state controlled economy under socialist policies to a free market economy, where the private sector assumes a leading role in economic development and the government assures a facilitating environment through policies, laws and regulations.
Being an independent policy research institution, ESRF develops capacity in economic and social policy analysis and development management by conducting and disseminating social and economic policy research results, facilitating policy dialogue and conducting training programmes on policy analysis and development management.
ESRF has a tripartite mandate – that is to serve the government, the private sector and the civil society. In the next four years ESRF will direct its efforts towards investigating and seeking solutions that can be helpful to the government and the private sector in unleashing Tanzania's growth potential as stipulated in the Five-Year Development Plan.
Q: What is your focus in this medium-term plan?
A: Our focus will be in addressing both supply and demand side constraints as linked to infrastructural (transport, energy, storage, water supply, industry and agriculture) and knowledge base of society.
Since ESRF is not a typical advocacy outfit, its mandate does not go beyond producing plausible researched evidence, stipulating policy recommendations and their implications and ensuring that the society is aware of the findings and recommendations.
The decision to apply them is left to intended stakeholders, be it government, private sector or civil society operators. Other focuses will be on a comparative advantage of the country's geographical positioning, growth architecture for ensuring an inclusive, employment and job creation, commodity value chain and marketing systems analysis, population dynamics and human skills development and management and natural resources economics.
Q: Is the government taking on board your expert recommendations and advice?
A: One of the most frequently asked questions, which is very genuine, is the extent to which ESRF's output has had an impact on shaping policies that have had also an impact on society.
The answer to that question cannot be as straight as one would expect to the problem of attribution of the processes of change and adoption of economic management principles beyond the report publication and dissemination stages.
For example, the institution cannot recall any policy document or strategy, which ESRF was involved in its preparation that was rejected by the government. One of the most recent satisfying results was a fast tracked signing of a protocol on food security framework for the EAC in 2010, which was based on a study commissioned by the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) in 2009 and funded by Kilimo Trust (Gatsby Funds) based in Kampala, Uganda.
Q: What other areas are you interested in?
A: ESRF will continue researching on issues impacting on the pace of implementation of regional integration and successful penetration of the regional and international markets by local traders and manufacturers.
Domestically, just as it has been in other fast growing economies in Africa, an emerging priority as a think tank will be on how to effectively correct the current phenomenon of a jobless growth based on decisions a decade ago, which picked high growth sectors but with minimal linkages to the local economy and, therefore, sub-optimal creation of job per shilling invested.
This will mean coming quickly enough with strategies for ensuring the discoveries of natural gas (and perhaps oil in the near future) in Mtwara/Lindi regions and the mining of iron ore from Liganga/Mchuchuma complex in Njombe region generate the highest impact in terms of job creation through forward and backward linkages.
The institution will also have to be in the forefront in advising both the private and public sectors on operational setbacks of well designed plans for the implementation special economic zones for the growth of the manufacturing industry and the cluster-based approach in stimulated commercialised agriculture for both small and large-scale farmers.
Q: What is your role in local projects?
A: ESRF will undertake as part of its mandate, with the support from the government, to monitor and evaluate the pace and setbacks in implementing Vision 2025 but also upscale society's awareness of the existence of the Vision and their duties/responsibilities as citizens.
The same will apply in researching and informing members of the public on the pace, setbacks and opportunities coming from the process of regional integration.
To start with, ESRF has been picked as a lead institution in a collaborative programme funded by ASARECA, with others from Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, to design a system that will be used to predict food production and their prices, so that our governments can take preventive measures against widespread famine in the region.
Q: Who funds ESRF projects?
A: The budget for the plan is about US$2.8 million per year to be funded from different sources including the government of Tanzania (mostly for institutional running), the United Nations system led by the United Nations Development Programme (mostly for capacity building and knowledge management programmes), International Development Research Centre (IDRC)'s Think Tank Initiative (mostly for research and institutional development), African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) for research, capacity building and institutional running and the Foundation for Civil Society (FCS) knowledge management.
Other donors will be approached as part of the institution's resource mobilisation, which includes competing for commissioned studies by different stakeholders.
We are glad that since the government promised to increase allocation of funds for research, the money has been rationed to also benefit socio-economic research institutions such as ESRF as coordinated by Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), although more is certainly needed to fill our budgetary gaps.

text: Minecraft documentary explores indie game's impact Gaming 07 March 11 by Jason Schreier Of all the videogame industry's tremendous success stories, Minecraft might very well be the most remarkable.The blocky indie game created a whirlwind last year, selling more than a million copies as gamers took an instant liking to its do-it-yourself charm and functionality.But why did Minecraft catch fire? Can we learn anything from its massive success? What kind of impact will it have on the future of independent gaming?Portland, Oregon, company 2 Player Productions wants to answer these questions. The company is seeking donations through crowdfunding site Kickstarter to help fund a feature-length documentary that digs into the Minecraft phenomenon."I really want to explore the impact Minecraft has had on its players," director Paul Owens told Wired in an email. "It's really transcended just being a videogame at this point, especially to the people who really have a love for it."Owens and his crew have already shot a 20-minute concept video (above), which they say serves primarily to introduce fans to the world of Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson and his crew at Swedish game company Mojang."Now that the team has been introduced, we'll examine how they manage the weight of immense expectation (both the community's and their own) as they take their hit to completion and develop its follow-up simultaneously," cinematographer Asif Siddiky told Wired in an email. "On the other end of the spectrum, it will be interesting to visit the fans that have allowed Minecraft to bleed into their lives outside of playing the game." So far, the Kickstarter campaign has raised $131,000 of the minimum $150,000 needed to finance the film, titled Minecraft: The Story of Mojang. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

You say your users requested you to get out an equivalent for their smartphone cameras, and you chose to come up for iPhone only. Out of all the best cameras out there on smartphones, the Nokia Lumia 1020 being the king, you still chose the iPhone. I understand you want profit in numbers.. and even then the iPhone is not the most selling smartphone. So... what else could the reason be... because... your management is full of Apple fanboys?
Lensbaby brings 'Sweet Spot ' selective focus lens to iPhone
Lars Rehm | Published: Apr 3, 2014 at 21:27 UTC20
Lensbaby is well known among DSLR photographers for its array of special-effect lenses. Now the Portland, Oregon-based company wants to expand into mobile photography and has launched a Kickstarter project to fund the final development stage of its Lensbaby Sweet Spot lens.
The Sweet Spot lens attaches magnetically to the camera of your iPhone 4s, 5, 5s or 5c and provides the effect of the original Lensbaby. It allows you to put the focus on one point of the image which is then surrounded by blur that becomes gradually stronger towards the edges of the frame. You can see the effect in the samples below.
The lens comes with an anodized aluminium body and is magnetic on both ends, so you can attach other magnetic accessory lenses, for example fisheye, wide-angle or telephoto lenses, on top of it and adjust the focal length and effect.
When shooting with the Sweet Spot lens and Apple's camera app, the image will be upside down which is why Lensbaby includes a free app that flips the image right-side up. The app also comes with tools that let you move the sweet spot of focus around the image and apply image filters.
Project backers can pre-order the lens for $50 which is $20 less than the future retail price. Watch the video below to see the Sweet Spot lens in action or go to the Kickstarter page to back the project.

text: Chris Reed, also known as Plastician (formerly Plasticman), is a grime and dubstep DJ and producer from Thornton Heath in the London Borough of Croydon. Plastician has played a role in the popularity of the genre thanks to his participation in the Rephlex Grime compilations, his primetime pirate radio shows and his recent BBC Radio 1 Residency slot. In addition to his worldwide DJ schedule, Plastician has released records on labels such as Rephlex Records, Soulja, ROAD, Slimzos, A.R.M.Y. and Southside Dubstars. His musical style connects east London grime to the south London dubstep scenes. Plastician also runs his own label; Terrorythm Recordings. Plastician also played a big role in putting together the "Cashmere Agency Presents Mr. Grustle & Tha Russian Dubstep LA Embrace The Renaissance Vol.1 Mixed by Dj Plastician." mixtape that was released in June 2009. Plastician came to fame under another moniker: Plasticman. As he gained in popularity, Reed was threatened with legal action by Canadian-British techno artist Richie Hawtin who had prior use right on the name "Plastikman"; this prompted Reed to change his name from Plasticman, to Plastician to avoid any legal disputes.

Mlimani Park Orchestra, popularly known as 'Sikinde', is expected to launch a big music show in Dar es Salaam on June 25 using their newly acquired instruments.
The show will be a special one as the band boasts of the new instruments acquired at the cost of 45m/-.
Besides playing music with the new instruments, the band plans to release new compositions likely to take Dar fans by storm.
The band's secretary general Hamis Milambo said DDC Kariakoo is the venue for the grand show as Extra Bongo and Segere traditional music bands are expected to colour the event ahead of the main show.
Milambo said the new instruments have been donated by Tanzania Distilleries under special entertainment agreement.
The band official said there will be a press conference on Tuesday in Dar s Salaam before the grand show next Saturday.
The band is also expected to introduce their new sign up musician Athuman Kambi who joined shortly after departure of veteran Shaaban Dede.
Dede has crossed over to Msondo Ngoma in a move that shocked Sikinde fans.

Oldham County residents, stop polluting
To the editor:
I think the people of Oldham County need to stop polluting the air. One reason is that polluting the air can kill plants and animals. Polluting the air is like a smelling garbage can stinking up the room. Polluting the air is causing global warming and melting the ice caps. Please Oldham Countians, stop polluting the air.

Another totally poor excuse for watching TV. A dreadful game showcasing people's ability to lie and bluff so there is really no meaning whatsoever....just more sensationalist garbage to while away boring hours of the evening. Who thought this was a good idea? Read more

mozilla.com was launched on November 29, 2005 with the Firefox 1.5 release with the goal of simplifying the experience of obtaining Mozilla products.
The mission of mozilla.com is to:
- provide a quick and easy path for obtaining our software
- educate visitors about the advantages of our software
- connect users with other Mozilla web properties they may be looking for
The audiences for mozilla.com:
- End users of Mozilla products (both consumers and power users)
- Current Firefox and Thunderbird users looking for upgrade information
- Visitors interested in information about Mozilla Corporation
For Q2 the following projects are going on:
- Mobile friendliness
- Create design/coding standards for making sites mobile-friendly
- Use metrics to determine pages to focus on
- Begin implementing design/coding standards for mozilla.com
- Preparing for .com/.org merge
- Keep discussing strategy
- Analyze current workflows: http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/mozilla-com-dev-cycle
- Automated tests
- Hook up Raymond's tests and get them running on Hudson
- Write tons of more tests
- Git transition
- Work with localizers to warn them of switch
- Work with IT on switching live site to git
- Use github from then on
These mostly came out of Q2 onsite meetings.
Quarterly Goals
Our general goals align with mozilla.org, see the following page for Q2 goals:
Work is developed, tested, and reviewed on trunk, pushed to staging to be queued for rollout, and pushed to a production branch to go live.
- dev works on a bug and makes a commit to trunk with bug number, leaves a comment on bug with trunk revision
- work is reviewed and when fixed, bug is marked "resolved fixed"
- add keyword "qawanted" to bug to move to testing
- bug is tested and re-opened if not fixed, marked "qa-verified-trunk" if fixed
- dev merges all changes into "stage" branch, leaves comment on bug with stage revision
- if change is a one-off, add keywork "push-needed" for immediate rollout
- bug is rolled out individually (push-needed) or with milestone (staging is merged onto production)
- and "push-needed" keywords are removed
- QA checks on production, marks "verified fixed"; if there's a problem, re-opens bug, dev might revert changes on production if problem is critical
Here are a few example SVN commands one might use:
commit to trunk (r100) svn commit -m 'bug 60000 - spread happiness around' merge to staging (r50) svn merge --ignore-ancestry -c100,104 trunk tags/stage cd tags/stage && svn commit -m 'r100,104 from trunk for bug 60000' merge to prod (r40) svn merge --ignore-ancestry -c50 tags/stage tags/prod cd tags/prod && svn commit -m 'r50 from staging for bug 60000' revert on prod cd tags/prod && svn merge -c-40 .
The important point in this process is that the developer can commit what he/she wants to trunk, but he/she is responsible for merging those changes into stage to be rolled out.
QA usually tests on trunk (https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/).
Mozilla.com SVN Source
The source behind mozilla.com (PHP, HTML, images, CSS, javascript, etc.) is hosted and managed in Subversion. For details merging from trunk to stage, see the SVN Guidelines.
- Trunk - the main development version of mozilla.com. Most work happens here.
- SVN location: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/
- Preview URL: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/
- Stage - When changes are ready in trunk, they are merged to stage for review before going to production.
- SVN location: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/tags/stage/
- Preview URL: https://www.authstage.mozilla.com/
- Production - The live website. Beware!
- SVN location: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/tags/production/
- Preview URL: https://www.mozilla.com/

text: PreS-Gr 1--Learning about fall is fun with the strong content in this series that supports early literacy and the Common Core State Standards. The simple sentences are presented in a large font surrounded by plenty of white space. Vocabulary words ("hibernate," "harvest," etc.) are set apart in a bold font and defined in a glossary. The large, bright color photographs correspond well to the texts, helping emerging readers clarify the meaning of words and sentences. Each book contains a "Home and School Connection" page, which provides parents and teachers with a word list to reinforce literacy and activity suggestions. "What Do You See?" sidebars invite students to engage with the photos and texts. For example, in Halloween, readers are asked, "How many ghosts do you see?" in a photo of spooky treats-an activity that underlines the relationship between numbers and quantities and supports math literacy. A welcome addition for early-reader units.[Page 76]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Was Jesus Married?
A new novel forces people to confront a biblical puzzle. Was Mary Magdalene Mrs. Jesus?
Before the"Left Behind"
series catapulted to the top of the bestseller list, the idea that Christians could be lifted bodily into the clouds during the Rapture was an idea that only obscure theologians studied. These days, of course, lots of people believe that's what will happen the day the world ends.
Now a new novel is forcing people to confront another biblical puzzle.The DaVinci Code
, a thriller by Dan Brown, tells the story of a Harvard professor summoned to the Louvre Museum after a murder there to examine cryptic symbols relating to DaVinci's work. During the course of his investigation, he uncovers an ancient secret: the claim that Mary Magdalene represents the divine feminine, and that she and Jesus had a sexual relationship.
Is it possible Jesus had this kind of relationship with her or that they were, as some suggest, married?
, a Harvard professor who is the world's leading authority on early Christian texts about Mary Magdalene, gives "The DaVinci Code" a thumbs-up--but only as fiction. ("It's a good read but historically way off.")
"The book certainly fits our times.. Since the 1960s there has been a hostility toward traditions in Christianity that are anti-sexuality," says King, adding that the novel also plays to interest in women's issues.
But, she says: "there's no historical information whatsoever that either of them was married, let alone to each other. When there's an argument from silence, you can jump either way. On one hand, why not? Why shouldn't they have sex? On the other hand, why every time you put a man and woman together do they have to have sex?"
The possibility of Jesus' marriage fascinates people; biblical scholars say they are often asked by audiences and readers about it. In general, only the most liberal scholars even bother to entertain the question.
Here is what we can say about Jesus' sex life:

Scott Sanders, commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development, said the department is unsure about some of the federal data from July. "We have raised several questions with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics about discrepancies in June and July's labor force data," he said in a written announcement today. "The numbers seem to indicate nearly 46,000 Hoosiers went from gainfully employed in May to missing from the labor force in July, with no explanation," he said.
