Cougars hit weight room, prepare for fallPublished 12:31pm Sunday, June 17, 2012
With the summer months literally heating up, football teams around the area are busy hitting the weight rooms.
Locally, first-year Escambia Academy Cougar head coach Hugh Fountain said things got "off to a good start" for his 2012 team.
"We got started last Monday and we off to a good start so far this summer," Fountain said Wednesday. "The biggest problem you have here is the distance the kids have to come. Some of them live right here by the school, but not many. But it has been a good summer."
Fountain said the Cougars are working out three days a week— on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays—with a session at 8 a.m. and a session at 6 p.m.
"We worked out yesterday and had 51 kids come to workouts," he said. "We only have four people from the whole team that did not come to workouts yesterday. So we are off to a very good start as far as I am concerned. If you consider the number of guys we have on the team, they have done a very good job so far. I have been pleased with them and we needed this."
Along with the workouts, Fountain said his team also participates in camps over the summer like 7-on-7 and some passing camps and others.
"We have some individual camps and some linemen camps, but predominantly, we workout on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday," Fountain said. "Our main goal this summer going into fall is to just get stronger. We need to get better in the weight room. Then we try to get conditioned so when we get to the fall, we are physically ready to go out there. Our main goal is to just get stronger and condition."
Fountain was hired in January and comes to EA with 24 years of head coaching experience.
Fountain comes to Escambia Academy with a career record of 159-102 with a resume that includes a 16-year stint at Charles Henderson
High School in Troy, seven seasons at W.S. Neal High School in East Brewton and one season at Evergreen High School in Evergreen. At W.S. Neal, Fountain coached the man he replaced at EA, former Cougars' head football coach Heath Gibson.
With his resume Fountain brings years of success with strong success in turning around programs. The season before Fountain took over at Charles Henderson, the Trojans went on 0-10. In Fountain's first season, the team went 3-7 and followed that up with a 7-3 campaign in his second season.

Ice Skating Rink Coming to Shaw
An ice skating rink will open in Shaw this winter, on the site of the Old City Farm and Guild on Rhode Island Avenue NW.
The Lake Shaw Ice Rink is set to open on Dec. 6 and close for the season around Feb. 23, with the latter date depending on the weather. In the spring, the Old City Farm will start up again. Owner Frank Asher closed the Old City Green on 9th Street NW at the end of last year and opened the rechristened Old City Farm and Guild this April at its current location, on the grounds of the shuttered Shaw Junior High School.
Community organizer Lee Granados, who has put together local events like the 17th Street Festival and is leading the ice rink effort, says the details of the rink are still being worked out and sponsorships sought. The organizers have put together a flyer (below) outlining the sponsorship opportunities, which describes the rink as "a creative, outdoor event space that will celebrate the Historic Shaw District through pictures, art, history, food, and fun."
For a mere $75,000, one lucky sponsor can get its company name into the title of the rink, plus lots of other perks. More affordable sponsorships will get a company's name on the food and beverage hut or skate rental hut.
The ice rink will join other rinks at Capitol Riverfront's Canal Park, Georgetown's Washington Harbour, and the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden.

I've been giving her bananas, apples, pears, peaches, and blueberries (although LO doesn't like blueberries so she's not getting them much), but when we went to LO's 9 month appointment yesterday, her doctor said not to give her fruit until she's a year old. This is the first time I've heard this... is anyone not giving fruit to their LO?
Anyone not giving fruit to LO?

NOpe! never heard that one. Though I give her fruits, she'd only take those that are sweet. even then only may be 2/3 bites. My ODS doesnt like fruits al all.
Your Doc is an IDIOT.
Old school thought is that if you give fruits before veggies than babies will prefer fruits and won't eat veggies. At this age their taste buds prefer the sweetness of fruits.
Her doctor said it was because of the high sugar content. I haven't been giving her any citrus fruits, but I thought it was pretty normal to give bananas and apples to babies.

What the what??? Where did your ped go to school? Does he follow the AAP's recommendations for other issues, such as vaccinations, etc.?
Some doctors used to recommend waiting until after a year for strawberries and other 'high allergen' foods, but the AAP says that there's no evidence that waiting to introduce those foods reduces one's risk of developing an allergy.
Here's a link to the AAP's guide for starting solids:
Our Happy Family
Sarah + George = Carter 1/2012 + Corinne 7/2015 + Caleb 7/2001 + Lorelei 6/2003 + Bubba kitty and Evelyn kitty
Just saw your 'high sugar content' comment. Fruit should be part of a healthy, balanced diet. It's not the same kind of processed sugar that one would find in candy.
I'd go with the AAP on issues like this. They are basing their opinions on the most current research available.
Our Happy Family
Sarah + George = Carter 1/2012 + Corinne 7/2015 + Caleb 7/2001 + Lorelei 6/2003 + Bubba kitty and Evelyn kitty
We give fruits. We also also offer lots of veggies. I'm no pedi, but I think it's fine. If you're worried, is there another pedi you can go to? Are there more in one practice? I'd also offer more veggies and other foods to balance out the fruit, though I'm sure you're already doing that :)
rice+beans = love x3
My life changed forever when my big surprise arrived January 10, 2012 4 lbs 7oz (estimated 33/34 weeker) of amazing little girl!
Yep, she said absolutely no fruit at all until a year old. LO gets pureed fruit with rice cereal (for texture) and a piece of toast or half a banana for breakfast, but that's really the only time throughout the day she eats fruit, except half a banana after dinner once in a while.
At first I thought it was because my daughter was over the 95th percentile for height and weight, but then I found a "feeding guide" that the doctor gave me at our 6 month visit, and I guess they recommend it to all babies.

Microsoft to offer European users alternatives to Internet Explorer
Microsoft is to give Windows users in the European Union the option of choosing another web browser to replace the default Internet Explorer from 1 March.
This Article Covers
Operating systems
Microsoft is to give Windows users in the European Union the option of choosing another web browser to replace the default Internet Explorer (IE) from 1 March.
The move is in line with a December 2009 agreement with EU competition authorities, who ruled that bundling IE with Windows abused Microsoft's dominant position to entrench its web browser.
The ruling followed an investigation by the EU in response to a complaint by Norwegian browser developer, Opera Software, that other browsers cannot compete with IE because of its bundling with Windows.
From 1 March, existing Windows users with IE set as the default browser will be presented with a ballot screen with a choice of alternative browsers, according to reports.
The ballot screen will be rolled across the whole of Europe as an automatic download in Windows Update for XP, Vista and Windows 7, but is already available in the UK, France and Belgium through Windows Update.
Microsoft has also committed to allow PC makers and consumers in Europe to turn IE off, to allow PC makers to ship any browsers of their choice with no restriction on the default.

text: my daughter had 3 nightmares in the last 3 weeks and ever since her first she will not go to sleep alone (as she did before) so I have had to lie down with her to get her to sleep every night. For the last few nights she wakes around 3 or 4am and won't go back to sleep unless someone is with her. i don't want to establish a pattern of her needing someone in the bed with her to fall asleep but i don't know what else to do. we have spoken to her to try to find out if something scary has happened to her but there doesn't seem to be anything. any help would be greatly appreciated.

They've always had a pretty tumultuous relationship, and it seems Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are once again at each other's throats.
The former "Two and a Half Men" star took to his Twitter account to criticize his ex-wife/mother of his sons Max and Bob, as well as the Department of Child and Family Services.
It's no secret that they had a very public falling out, but Charlie Sheen insists that Selma Blair wasn't actually fired from "Anger Management."
The FX show's production company Lionsgate, released a statement to clarify how things went down with the "Sweetest Thing" starlet.
Building hype for the October release of their star-studded new film, "Machete Kills," producers have released a dramatic new poster touting the movie. It's the sequel to "Grindhouse."
"Machete Kills" arrives in theaters October 11 and stars Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez as returning cast members. New additions for the sequel include Amber Heard, Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga and Damian Belchir.
Showing off her on-screen skills, LeAnn Rimes was featured on last night's (July 11) episode of Charlie Sheen's FX comedy series "Anger Management."
The "How Do I Live" songstress looked gorgeous in several cleavage-baring outfits as she played a psychopath named Winona.
He's not exactly the conventional father, but Charlie Sheen showed off his love for his twin 4-year-old boys via Twitter yesterday (July 2).
The "Major League" actor posed with Max and Bob, who were playing with shark toys, and added the caption, "If ya see a shark Hooper, Swallow!" referencing "Jaws."
He is well-known for lashing out at his critics, and Charlie Sheen certainly lambasted Farrah Abraham with his scathing open letter via TMZ.
And now the "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom" porn star has responded to Sheen's inflammatory rhetoric, including phrases like "desperate guzzler of stagnant douche agua," "tranny-boobs," and "congrats on surviving your lobotomy."
Just days after her issues with co-star Charlie Sheen were made public, Selma Blair has officially been fired from "Anger Management."
Lionsgate TV released a statement on Tuesday (June 18) delivering the news: "We are confirming that Selma Blair will not be returning to Anger Management and we wish her the very best."
Just two years after his trouble with "Two and a Half Men" Charlie Sheen has recently ruffled the feathers of his "Anger Management" costar, Selma Blair.
In the FX series, the "Cruel Intentions" star plays his therapist, Dr. Kate Wales, but her future on the show is currently in jeopardy.

Ford Plans More Electric Cars
TheStreet) -- Ford (F - Get Report) said it will build three electric cars at its retooled Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Mich. The plant, which once made large SUVs, has undergone a $550 million conversion in order to manufacture the Ford Focus. Ford said three hybrid or electric versions will follow."For years, I had this vision of a green Ford Motor Company, but we didn't have the technology before," Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford told reporters Tuesday, according to The Detroit Free Press. "Now we are electrifying mainstream vehicles." Ford's redesigned Focus will be followed by a battery-powered Focus Electric in 2011 and by two hybrid vehicles in 2012, The Free Press reported. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here:DETROIT (

I'm trying to decide whether it is worth the money to switch my captain's cranks from 170mm to 175mm. I am 6-feet tall, 167lbs, with long legs. I am used to 175mm cranks on single bikes. I prefer a medium to high RPM on single bikes but tend to mash a bit more on the tandem because my stoker likes to pedal at low rpm.
I think that the shorter cranks are reducing my pedaling efficiency, especially when pedaling at low RPM or when climbing hills. Is it just my imagination? It doesn't seem like 5mm could make all that much of a difference but I really think I can tell. Any opinions?

Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 25 mins
Buca di Beppo, Chef Richard Graham I tried this for the first time tonight at Buca, and went on a search for the recipe. It is spectacular. I found this on another website, and am posting to compare to the original sometime soon.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 ounces olive oil
- 4 1⁄2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- flour
- 6 ounces white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces alfredo sauce (homemade, preferrably with Romano cheese or prepared will do in a pinch)
- 2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
- 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons parsley, chopped (garnish)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat oil on medium high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and lightly dust with flour.
- Saute the chicken breast until browned.
- Turn over and brown the other side as well. Remove the chicken breast from the pan and pour off all oil.
- Add wine to the pan and return the chicken breasts to the pan as well. Cover and cook the chicken breasts in the pan, turning once, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees is met.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a pan and hold.
- Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, and the Alfredo sauce to the wine left in the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil, but do not reduce.
- Remove from the flame and add the Sundried Tomatoes. Place about 2/3 of the sauce in the baking dish, reserving about half of the sundried tomatoes.
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Top the chicken breasts with mozzarella. Drizzle the remaining sauce with the sundried tomatoes over the top.
- Bake in a 425-degree oven until the sauce becomes bubbly and begins to brown.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
Most Helpful
This recipe was delicious. I did add artichokes to the sauce when I added the sun dried tomatoes. One suggestion is to prepare the meal a day in advance, the flavors really popped the second day.
Used my favorite alfredo (The Realtor's Superb Alfredo Sauce) and fiddled with it till it was picture perfect. Small things amuse small minds.

During the quarter, we eliminated more than 600 positions in our title operations and made significant progress on our previously stated $50 million cost savings project, identifying nearly $55 million in run rate cost savings. Our quarterly results also included one-time expenses of $9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, representing our portion of the costs related to the Remy's debt restructuring in late 2010 and early 2011. Overall, this is a very positive start to what most experts have predicted will be a very difficult year in the mortgage and real estate markets. We believe we have our company positioned for strong performance for the remainder of 2011.We made modest stock repurchases during the quarter, repurchasing an approximately 800,000 shares at an average price of $13.84 for total proceeds of $11 million. We have a bond payment due in August of this year of approximately $165 million and, therefore, are conserving some cash to ensure that could be made on a timely basis.

Thats what you get for dressing up as one ! *phones where to get one* XD
wait I thought that was just someone in a costume
poor mareep
was that salamances trainer in a costume
She's a dragon, dragons like sheep, it tis be the path of life.
I looked at this and thought 'oh no, it's eating a kid dressed up as a mareep!'
Was I wrong?
Was I wrong?
hehe noce
ER MAH FERKIN GERD zoom in on mareep in stomach= SMILING!?!?!
No pokemon here ever chows even the ones that should. If your going to make comics about cute things getting eaten then you might as well put so blood in it.
True on most accounts. Some times, that wouldn't work, but hard vore is truly underappreciated.
Is that blood at the second frame ?If is...OMG!!!
Am I the only one who sees a little girl in a Mareep suit?
Wow, this Is still the best damn thing I have seen in my life. Congrats about this fine piece of art you made.
aww poor mareep its so cute <3
do you know Japanese?
Is she gonna get digested? D:
I really hope not--I hate hard vore. But hey, they both look pretty happy and cozy in the end so i'm assuming it's a safe and happy ending
if I saw that another user posted this comic,but apparently already delete
Looks like they took it down themselves when they learned you were already posting your stuff here.
Où puis-je en faire un mareep?
Espera, No puede Mareep sorprender el?
I wasn't gonna add this at first but that Mareep is too adorable to not be in my favorites.
this IS good lol

meaning to upload these photos from Legoland Windsor that immediately made me
think of all those who use Digg. See, the Digg construction area:
You can catch one of the Diggers climbing above this sign:

Respond to Review of De Vliegende Schotel - The Flying Saucer
by Kristel
Review: We went here on our first day in Amsterdam, with a high expectation after reading the reviews on HappyCow. We didn't have a reservation and it was quite late, but we could still order. We noticed it was cold in there, and not very clean, with cobwebs hanging on the ceiling, dust on the vase next to our table, 3 cats running around on the other tables and the bar (we did notice cats in every restaurant where we went in Amsterdam)... The food was fast and hot, but our soup was too thick and much too spicy, as was the main dish. The side dishes that came with the main dish weren't that great either. The chick peas and lentils were ok, but there were 2 sorts of very cold mush that really weren't good at all and clashed with the very hot rest of the food. The owner was friendly though, and it was very cheap.

This company is called Benefit Depot. I did an online inquiry for health insurance quotes and this company, along with 2 others called and texted me immediately. Between 10am-5pm yesterday, I had 18 calls from the three of them. Today, they started again shortly after 8am. I picked up for this one and explained to the woman that because I was on call number 20 within 24 hours, I wasn't interested anymore and just wanted my name off their list. She started getting argumentative and sarcastic and eventually hung up on me.06/27/2013 11:20AM

Issued at 225 PM CDT Mon May 2 2016 Lots of stratus/stratocu remain across the area with several disturbances embedded within the cyclonic flow aloft across the region. Measurable rainfall has pushed off to the southeast, more in line with the surface frontal boundary. The cloud cover has kept temperatures in the 50s to low 60s across the area. The main forecast focus for the work week will be with temperatures and with the next chance of rain as we head into the weekend. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 225 PM CDT Mon May 2 2016 Cyclonic flow aloft will continue both tonight and Tuesday with several waves of upper level energy pushing through the area. This will likely keep a good deal of cloud cover over the area through the short term period. Temperatures will be on the cool side again tonight with lows in the low to mid 40s. Highs should climb back into the mid to upper 60s on Tuesday. Moisture will be limited, so will keep precipitation chances below 15 percent at this time. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 225 PM CDT Mon May 2 2016 By Tuesday night, the main shortwave will have pushed through the area and should start to see clearing. The main upper low will then track to the southeast across the Ohio valley region. The SGF CWA should remain in northerly flow aloft with surface high pressure over the region, so will see some cool nights both Tuesday and Wednesday night with lows in the 40s. Will start to see a warmup for the end of the work week as upper level ridging builds into the area. By Friday, the upper ridge will be overhead with low level warm advection starting to develop. Temperatures should start to climb back into the 70s on Thursday and well into the 70s by Friday. As we head into the weekend, energy from a large closed low in the Rockies will start lifting into the area from the southwest and we will start to see showers and thunderstorms developing over the area. The best chances of showers and thunderstorms look to be late in the weekend into early next week as the main shortwave will begin to push into the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 621 PM CDT Mon May 2 2016 Widespread MVFR stratus deck should begin to dissipate with sunset this evening.

Later tonight, fog will be possible where skies start to clear, along with the potential for stratus building back in at SGF and especially BBG. IFR potential is very unclear at this time, though BBG should have the highest probability, and have included a tempo group for 2SM BR for now. Elsewhere, only took vis down to 3SM, though some guidance does hint at vis dropping to less than a mile in a few areas. Will continue to monitor through the evening and amend as needed.

Handling Corals
Different corals require different handling techniques. For instance,
soft corals,
polyps, and
mushroom corals will normally arrive attached to a small rock. Only handle these corals by the rock, this way you can avoid touching the polyps. Hard corals with large fleshy polyps can be handled by their base, which is the hard exoskeleton. Other hard corals, including
Small Polyped Stony (SPS) corals, should be handled only by the base where it was fragmented, or by the plug or rock it is attached to. A pair of
Aqua Gloves are highly recommended in handling all corals, and will reduce the possibility of irritating the coral when handling it. Furthermore, always handle all corals with a gentle touch in order to minimize the chances of damaging the specimen.
Acclimating New Corals to Your Lighting System
Among the many species of corals available to the hobbyist, there are many differences in where they grow in nature and the corresponding lighting conditions they need in order to survive. Corals are highly adaptive to different lighting conditions, but some are more sensitive to change than others. It takes time for a coral to acclimate to its new environment, and care must be taken to help the organism adjust. This is especially important with some of the very intense lighting systems, like
metal halides and
T-5 fluorescents. Some corals, when not acclimated properly, can actually be "sunburned" by the artificial lighting, which opens the door to infection and possible demise. Place your new coral on the bottom of the aquarium in the substrate until the coral adjusts to the new lighting. A good sign that the coral has adjusted to the new system is when they appear fully expanded and display full coloration. At that time, the coral can be moved to the desired location. Continue to monitor the coral's response to its new location, and
if its coloration and expansion appear to decrease, relocate the coral to a lower position.
Proper Placement of Corals
When determining the final placement for your new coral, research its lighting and water flow requirements, and especially the coral's aggression toward other inhabitants within the aquarium. With all of this in mind, and an open space within the rockwork that affords room for future growth, gently move the coral to its new position. Since the coral may get knocked over by
sea urchins or large
hermit crabs, we recommend that you use a reef safe underwater epoxy such as
Mr. Sticky's Underwater Glue or
AquaStik Epoxy Putty.

We should at least in Lucene 4.0 remove the hack in BooleanFilter that allows pure negative Filter clauses. This is not supported by BooleanQuery and confuses users (I think that's the problem in
The hack is buggy, as it does not respect deleted documents and returns them in its DocIdSet.
Also we should think about disallowing pure-negative Queries at all and throw UOE.

- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Simple patch for trunk:
- Disables the default full-1 bitset if no required/optional clauses
- Moves the Prohibited clauses at the end. The order is now: SHOULD, MUST, MUST_NOT; I am not sure if this is correct and conforms to BooleanScorer2 (I don't understand BooleanScorer2). Does somebody know in which order clauses are applied in BooleanScorer2?
Can we throw an exc if a BQ or BF has only MUST_NOT clauses, since we cannot handle it?
I think silently doing the wrong thing is awful (eg led to Karl struggling to understand what was wrong).
Can we throw an exc if a BQ or BF has only MUST_NOT clauses, since we cannot handle it?
+1. Hit this problem myself many times when first using Solr and Lucene.
Patch that also disallows only negative clauses in BooleanQuery and BooleanFilter.
- For BF this check is done in getDocIdSet that throws UOE
- For BQ this check is done in ctor of BooleanWeight where the clauses are enumerated and counted, so the check is just an additional low-cost check.
Currently 2 core tests with DisjunctionMaxQuery fail (have to look into it, maybe they simply test the broken behaviour). Solr tests pass without problems (as Solr already has a special handling in QueryUtils).
Patch looks great!
I think we should also backport to 3.x? And advertise the breakage. If users hit this exception it means their current searches aren't working so it's a service for us to inform them of this.
Attached a patch with some changes in the BooleanQuery prohibited-only detection and all failing tests fixed:
- TestBoolean2 had a explicit prohibited-only query -> changed to assert the UOE
- TestBoolean2 had a random BQ generator. Fixed this generator to not create prohibited-only queries
- in TestComplexExplanations* the prohibited-only fake clauses were removed
- MemoryIndexTest used a list of lots of query-strings, some of them looking like that : "a -b". If the test had randomly choosen a MockTokenizer with english stopwords -> peng. Removed that Analyzer
The last example is one problem of the explicit UOE: Now a user can suddenly get UOE if he uses a query where e.g. all positive clauses are stopwords - ok, users were always confused about that. Any comments about that?
There is a debugging relict in last patch: BooleanQuery.this.toString() in BooleanWeights UOE, please remove that.
Patch looks great Uwe!
Nice catch on the analyzers removing stop words and then making an all MUST_NOT BQ. But, I think we should throw an exception in this case, since it's a horrible trap now? User will get 0 results but that's flat out silently wrong?
Updated patch after committing BF cleanup (
Just wondering if there is a reason not to "fix" the user's query by adding a
(maybe implicitly), rather than throwing an Exception? This is invariably the fix users are instructed to apply in this case, and it does seem to be the logical implication of a pure not-query.
Hmm - I just found the discussion over in LUCENE-3460, which addresses this point.
See Sub-Task LUCENE-3460 for an explanation.
How should we proceed with this? I would like to commit this, but I am afraid of the consequences for users without a solution in QueryParser.
Updated patch for trunk.
The current handling of boolean queries with only prohibited clauses is not a bug, but working as designed, so this issue is about changing that behavior. Currently working applications will now start unexpectedly throwing exceptions... now that's trappy.
I think we should also backport to 3.x? And advertise the breakage. If users hit this exception it means their current searches aren't working
We shouldn't make assumptions like that - those applications may be working exactly as designed.
The issue with stopwords is complex - there is no right way IMO (returning all documents vs no documents), and some users will continue to be surprised by the results regardless of which you do.
Changing BQ to prohibit negative queries means that it will immediately mean that our QueryParser (and maybe other code) has a very serious bug. This issue can't be committed without addressing other parts of Lucene and Solr that can generate negative queries first.
I'm currently leaning toward the current behavior of BQ.
This is qhy I opened the sub-issue to change queryparser.
At least we should make BoolenFilter in contrib/queries to behave like BQ and not assume all bits set initially when only negative clauses occur. We might only want to add a MatchAllDocumentsFilter to allow the behaviour from before.
Bulk move 4.4 issues to 4.5 and 5.0
Move issue to Lucene 4.9.
Yonik Seeley says:
The current handling of boolean queries with only prohibited clauses is not a bug, but working as designed, so this issue is about changing that behavior. Currently working applications will now start unexpectedly throwing exceptions... now that's trappy.
The fact that a pure negative query, actually a sub-query within parentheses in the query parser, returns zero documents has been a MAJOR problem for Solr users. I've lost count how many times it has come up on the user list and we tell users to work around the problem by manually inserting "*:*" after the left parenthesis.
But I am interested in hearing why it is believed that it is "working as designed" and whether there are really applications that would intentionally write a list of negative clauses when the "design" is that they will simply be ignored and match no documents. If that kind of compatibility is really needed, I would say it can be accommodated with a config setting, rather than give unexpected and bad behavior for so many other people with the current behavior.
I would prefer to see a "fix" the problem by having BQ do the right thing by implicitly starting with a MatchAllDocsQuery if only MUST_NOT clauses are present, but... if that is not possible, an exception would be much better.
Alternatively, given the difficulty of doing almost anything with the various query parsers, the method that generates the BQ for the query parser (QueryParserBase .getBooleanQuery) should just check for pure negative clauses and then add the MADQ. If this is massively controversial, just add a config option to disable it.
But I am interested in hearing why it is believed that it is "working as designed"
"Working as designed" means just that... not that it's optimal, but that it is working the way the original author intended. FWIW, I was really only against throwing an exception. I personally think it would be fine to insert *:* for the user where appropriate.
and whether there are really applications that would intentionally write a list of negative clauses
Machine generated queries (including those from our own query parsers).
For example, (a -x) reduces to (-x) if "a" is a stopword. Inserting *:* when a boolean query contains only negative clauses was vetoed in LUCENE-3460.
Thanks, Yonik Seeley. Although the "(a -x)" stop word case seems to argue even more strenuously for at least an exception if ]*:* can't be inserted.
Besides, the stop word case is better handled by the Lucid approach of keeping all stop words (if they are indexed) if the sub-query terms are all stop words as in this case. So it would be only be problematic for the case of non-indexed stop words, which is really an anti-pattern anyway these days.
Yonik Seeley says:
I personally think it would be fine to insert : for the user where appropriate.
Ah! Since the "divorce" that gave Solr "custody" of its own copy of QueryParserBase, this change could be made there, right? I can file a Solr Jira for that (or just use one of the two open Solr issues related to pure-negative sub-queries), unless you want to do it. And then if the Solr people are happy over there, the Lucene guys can have their exception here and close this issue, and the everybody can live happily ever after, right?

AT&T Buys Alltel US For $780M
TheStreet) - AT&T (T - Get Report) has announced a deal to purchase Atlantic Tele-Network's (ATNI - Get Report) Alltel U.S. operations for $780 million. Under the terms of the deal, AT&T will acquire the company's retail wireless operations in this country, which includes nearly 600,000 paying customers and, more importantly, a whole bunch of spectrum. Alltel currently has chunks of the 700, 850 and 1900 MHz cellular frequencies.Alltel reportedly covers nearly 4.6 million people in a number of primarily rural areas in Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. That's the good news. But, there's a slight catch. While the 850 and 1900 MHz bands are compatible with current AT&T operations, Alltel uses the CDMA data standard, while AT&T's nationwide network uses GSM technology. According to the press release: "AT&T expects that as it upgrades the network, ATNI customers and existing AT&T customers who roam in these areas will enjoy an enhanced mobile Internet experience." That also means that current Alltel customers should expect to purchase new GSM-based handsets in the near future. AT&T says it expects the integration of Alltel services "will not result in a significant dilution to EPS or impact cash flow." Pending the FCC review, AT&T hopes to complete the deal later this year. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com YORK (

- Abstract
- Dialogs in formal domains, such as mathematics, are characterized by a mixture of telegraphic natural language text and embedded formal expressions. Due to the lack of empirical data for such environments, we have collected a corpus of dialogs with a simulated tutoring system for teaching proofs in naive set theory. The analysis of this corpus enabled us to identify genre-specific variants of linguistic phenomena which impose specific requirements on natural language dialog management.

Mo. lawmakers propose looser standards for damaged vehicles
Friday, May 4, 2007
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri lawmakers are considering loosening the standards for the kinds of damage that must be listed on a vehicle's title -- a move praised as pro-consumer by some and denounced as anti-consumer by others.
The House and Senate each endorsed measures Thursday that could lead to fewer salvage titles being issued for vehicles.
Supporters say that could allow people to get a greater resale value for older cars that have hail damage or have been in fender-benders. But opponents fear buyers might be unaware they are getting damaged vehicles.
Under current law, vehicles must be considered salvaged if the cost of repairing them equals at least 75 percent of their value and they are no more than seven years old.
Legislation, which passed 113-38 in the House, would raise the damage threshold to 80 percent of the value, exempt hail damage and require salvage titles only on vehicles six years old or newer.
The Senate on Thursday adopted an amendment to a separate bill that would go even further, requiring salvage titles only for vehicles up to three years old with damage equaling 80 percent of their value. The Senate version also exempts hail damage from triggering salvage titles.
Vehicles with salvage titles often sell for less than those with clean titles.
But a salvage title can be misleading if it's applied to a vehicle that suffered nothing more than tiny dents from hail, said Brent Butler, the government affairs director for the Missouri Insurance Coalition.
"It has a connotation that it's been really wrecked, as opposed to cosmetic damage," Butler said. By exempting hail damage, "we're trying to help our consumers."
Sponsoring Sen. John Griesheimer, R-Washington, a former car salesman, said the current 75 percent threshold also is causing problems with some older vehicles. If an insurance company originally considers a car 50 percent damaged, but a repair shop discovers additional damage that pushes the cost past the 75 percent value, the insurance company could end up paying for the original repairs and then paying the policy holder again because the vehicle must be considered totaled.
In the House, Republican supporters said the current definitions for a salvaged vehicle are too tight and have made it harder for people -- especially the poor and elderly -- to buy cheap cars.
But some House Democrats said the proposed changes would hurt consumers by obscuring when a vehicle has been damaged and substantially repaired.
Rep. John Burnett said the legislation is a "terrible, horrible, no good bill" that reverses years of consumer protections.
"Poor people and old people do not want wrecked cars, and they do not want to be sold cars that have had substantial repairs to them any more than people with money," Burnett, D-Kansas City.
Sen. Rita Heard Days, D-St. Louis, also expressed some skepticism when questioning Griesheimer about the bill.
"I just want to make sure that we're not trying to dupe the public," Days said.
The salvage provisions are included in larger House and Senate transportation bills.
The bill pending in the Senate also would repeal the state's mandatory vehicle inspections and allow police to pull over motorists solely for not wearing seat belts, among other things.
The version passed by the House also would allow bigger trucks on some state roads, allow consumers to claim an income tax exemption worth the sales tax paid for cars manufactured in Missouri and require someone to sell six vehicles a year to qualify as a dealer.
House and Senate members still must agree on a final version of the legislation.

One good way to tell whether a company is headed for trouble is to see whether the people who run it have the slightest interest in what the company sells. I'm not saying that Janet Reno wouldn't do a bang-up job of running Leslie Wexner's Victoria's Secret operation over at the Limited (LTD). But I am saying she'd have a lot of catch-up browsing to do through back issues of a catalog I doubt she's been reading religiously over the years. Janet Reno in a Miracle Bra? Well, let's just push on ...... In this case, to the question of whether the recent "early retirement" of William F. Reilly as chief executive of New York-based Primedia (PRM) means a turnaround is now in the offing for the publisher of media properties ranging from New York magazine to Dog World, American Baby and Truckin' magazines. I don't think so -- unless a replacement can be found with an interest not only in those titles but in Soap Opera Digest, Horticulture, Seventeen, Lowrider, Fly Fisherman, Healthy Kids, Modern Bride, Practical Horseman, Surfing, Soybean Digest, Catalog Age and Weekly Reader, to name just a few.

The NBA draft can be an eye-opening event. In 2005, it was just that for college basketball coaches.
When Utah center Andrew Bogut stepped to the podium to shake commissioner David Stern's hand as the No. 1 pick, college coaches across the country took notice, dusted off their passports and began punching plane tickets to Bogut's homeland — Australia.
That was then. Now, Vanderbilt's Andrew Ogilvy and Saint Mary's Patrick Mills have rekindled the flames. Australia is once again the "it" country for basketball talent, and college coaches are mining the continent for all it has.
"Ten years ago was when colleges probably first started to look here," said Martin Clarke, Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) men's basketball coach.
The University of Colorado has joined the fray, having landed Australian Nate Tomlinson, a heady point guard about whom coach Jeff Bzdelik raves, for next season. The Buffaloes are also in the mix for another Australian player for the class of 2009.
But Bzdelik said he will be judicious with his time recruiting in Australia.
"Like in anything else, you have to be smart," he said. "You don't want to spin your wheels. You can't just be flying over there just to fly over there and have no chance at the kid."
According to NCAA statistics, there were 33 Division I basketball players from Australia last season. Aussiehoopsamerica.
Many of those schools are searching for the next Bogut, whose averages of 20.4 points per game, 12.2 rebounds and 26 double-doubles led Utah to a 29-6 record and the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 in 2004-05.
Last season, Mills' team-leading 14.8 points per game — as a freshman — led Saint Mary's to 25 wins and an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2005.
Ogilvy, also a freshman last season, ranked second on the team with 17 points per game, helping Vanderbilt reach the NCAA Tournament and doing it in high-profile fashion in the rough-and-tumble Southeastern Conference.
The common thread among those three is they all prepped at the renowned AIS, which takes athletes for two-year stints and focuses on development on and off the court. Scholarships are awarded to some of Australia's top players, and only 14 in any one year are in the program, which churns out some of the region's best talent.
U.S. a coveted destination
Saint Mary's has had a long-standing relationship with players and coaches on the continent and had four scholarship players last season from Australia. The Gaels will add another next season, which will make seven Australian players in the last decade for their program.
Because of the relative low number of available players — Australia's total population is just 20 million — colleges have to be more meticulous in their scouting and cautious with how they use travel resources. But for Aussie players, coming to the United States to play has been an ideal situation to get a college education and tougher basketball competition at the same time.
"A big reason for it is the lack of opportunities in the past to play at the highest level in Australia at a young age," former University of Denver standout Adam Tanner wrote in an e-mail from Australia. "Most kids around the age of 18 don't have the chance to play with a pro (NBL — National Basketball League) team back home, and they don't have any leagues that can push them enough at that age, so they see the chance at coming to the U.S. right up their alley.
"We don't have universities that play basketball at this elite level and let you get a free education at the same time."
Tanner, born in Melbourne, played two seasons with DU and graduated after last season. He went back in Australia, where he signed a two-year contract to play professionally for the since-defunct Brisbane Bullets of the NBL.
He said Australians playing at U.S. colleges can only help develop better players.
"I think that it is fantastic for the future of basketball in Australia," Tanner wrote. "Kids in Australia play for club teams, which may only practice two times a week. If players come to college and see what it really takes to be a good basketball player, our nation will start to become better on the world scene and develop the work ethic needed to be at the elite level that the U.S. is on."
Going internationally
The women's game has been ahead of the curve in importing Australian players. On the Front Range, Colorado State, Wyoming and Northern Colorado have Australian players on their rosters for the upcoming season.
Wyoming, under coach Joe Legerski, who has recruited internationally since the early 1990s, has four Australians on its team and just graduated one, Hanna Zavecz, who was an all-MWC selection and conference defensive player of the year. Zavecz led Wyoming to its first NCAA Tournament berth this past season.
"Two of our better players last year, one was from Australia and one was from Poland," Legerski said. "It really gave us an opportunity to compete at the highest levels."
Arizona associate head coach Mike Dunlap brought Australian players to Denver when he was head coach at Metro State from 1997-2006. One, Mark Worthington, helped Metro State win a national title in 2002, and was named NABC Division II player of the year in 2005.
Dunlap has coached in Australia in some capacity since 1981. He coached the NBL's Adelaide 36ers for three seasons. He warns against too many colleges going down to get players, however.
"We're close to it," Dunlap said. "It's a small population. And the thing that happened was the rush came with the Andrew Boguts of the world. But it's not as easy as picking fruit off a tree. There's a lot of work to be done."
Added Clarke: "I think the misconception is there's like a hundred Andrew Boguts and Pat Mills running around. There's just not. They were extraordinary players for us. But there are good players, a lot of good players, just not a lot of those elite-level players. I think everyone that comes down here is looking to find the next one of them. And that's not always the case."
