Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of joints, tendons, skin, blood vessels and other connective tissue, and organs. SLE causes the immune system to produce antibodies that attack the body's healthy cells and tissue. Of all the forms of lupus, SLE is the most common and most well-known.
The cause of SLE is unknown. The manifestations of the disease are due to antibodies that attack the body's own tissues. Why these antibodies appear is unknown. There are certainly genetic factors involved: identical twins share the disease one-quarter to one-half of the time, and it tends to run in families. The disease may be triggered by environmental factors, such as infections or chemicals.
The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that approximately 1.5
million Americans have a form of lupus. Ninety percent of people diagnosed with the disease are women. It mainly occurs between the ages of 15-45. SLE is 2-3 times more prevalent among women of color, including African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans.

Tragic actor Robin Williams is to be immortalized in popular video game "World of Warcraft" following an online petition.
The campaign, created on Change.org, urged the makers of the hit fantasy game to create a character based on the "Good Will Hunting" actor.
Williams had spoken frequently in interviews about his love of video games, and even named his daughter Zelda Williams after the "Legend of Zelda" series.
When the petition was brought to the attention of game makers Blizzard, they immediately decided to set about creating the

Technical Game Designer Chadd Nervigg tells fans, "We're taking care of it."
Campaign organizer Jacob Holgate later updated the petition to reflect its success, writing, "In less than 24 hours we've earned 11,000 signatures, a huge amount of traction on many gaming and new outlets, as well as assurance from Blizzard employees that our desire for a Robin Williams tribute and or NPC (Non Playable Character) will be handled with great care."
Williams passed away in an apparent suicide at his home in California on Monday, at age 63.

PROVO, Utah (Reuters) – A Utah mother accused of killing six of her newborn infants over the course of a decade and hiding their bodies in the garage of her home was charged on Monday with first-degree murder in the babies' deaths.
Megan Huntsman, 39, made a brief court appearance in Provo, Utah, as the charges were revealed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman, who told reporters afterward that DNA from the infants' remains was still being analyzed to positively determine the their parentage.
Police have said Huntsman, who was arrested April 13, has admitted to strangling or suffocating the six babies just after their births between 1996 and 2006.
The infants' remains were found wrapped in old towels, shirts and plastic and stuffed inside cardboard boxes in the garage. The body of a seventh infant was found disposed of in the same way, but authorities have said they believe that child was stillborn.
Police have said Huntsman secretly gave birth to all seven babies without medical assistance at the house where she previously lived in the town of Pleasant Grove, just north of Provo. They said she apparently managed to keep her pregnancies concealed from the outside world.
Authorities have said she has explained her rationale for the killings to investigators, but they have not publicly revealed the alleged motive in the rare case of serial infanticide.
Huntsman has three surviving daughters, ages 14, 18 and 20, who still live at the house. At least one of them, the youngest, was born during the period in which the mother is suspected of slaying the babies.

Hi all,
Is it possible by a Zimlet to customize the account creation process?
What I'm looking for is a way to randomly generate a password, create the account and send ad administrative message (by an external MTA). Everything from the inside of the zimbraAdmin web console.
Is the Zimlet-way suitable for that? Would such a Zimlet be "visible" in the zimbraAdmin or they're only visible in the web client UI?
I've already realized such a thing by a shell scritpt (with "zmprov"), but now I need this in the web interface and not via the ssh+run-some-script way.
thanks a lot for any kindly help

There may soon be more competition in Mississippi's long distance telephone market, and that could mean lower prices.
Monday the president of BellSouth Mississippi spoke to the Rotary Club. The company should know by Sept. 18 whether they could provide the service.
"Customers like to be able to go to one source for all of their telecommunications needs," said John McCulloch. "That's the thing that we hear most. And though you'll also have some pricing advantages, pricing plans that we can get into that will benefit the customers."
The FCC must approve the new service.

AYDEN � Solid pitching, hard hitting, aggressive base running. This was the team South Lenoir coach David Combs envisioned when he took over the program this season.
The Blue Devils used all three ingredients to down Farmville Central, 4-2, Tuesday night at the Ray Avery Easter Tournament being played at Ayden-Grifton High School.
�This is the style we like to play,� Combs said. �We like to keep the pressure on and force the other team into mistakes. We like to make them hurt.�
South Lenoir (5-6) did just that against the Jaguars.
Wyatt Janning and Garrett Holland combined on a four-hitter, Holland slammed a homer, and the Blue Devils stole two runs with some devil-may-care work on the base paths.
South Lenoir broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth with some of that nifty footwork. With two outs and runner Will Graves at first following a base hit, Grant Tyndall laced a single to center that advanced Graves to third.
However, Tyndall never stopped running and coerced the Jaguars into a rundown between first and second. Not only did Tyndall make it safely back to first, but Graves scored easily without a play at the plate.
It was more of the same in the sixth as Noah Stroud scored from first when Graves grounded to short and Farmville fielder Jake Ashorn threw wildly to first.
Graves advanced to second and Stroud stunned the Jaguars by not holding up at third. He, too, scored without a play.
�We�ve been struggling offensively lately so we need to make things happen,� Combs said. �Tonight we were assertive and alert on the bases.�
South Lenoir also stole six bases as a team while being caught just once.
Holland�s solo homer leading off the seventh was the first round tripper of the entire tournament and gave the Devils a 4-1 lead.
Although South Lenoir managed just six hits itself by six different players, it made quite a few loud outs.
�We hit the ball hard and put it in play,� Combs said. �We also played with a lot more enthusiasm than we did Saturday (a 6-2 loss to Pamlico). Our approach at the plate was much better.�
Janning tossed five innings for the win, fanning six. Holland finished up the final two frames to earn the save.
Janning worked out of a second and third with one out jam in the sixth by striking out the next two batters.
�Both pitchers threw the ball well and made some clutch pitches when we needed them,� Combs said.
South Lenoir 010 101 0�4 6 1
Farmville Central 001 000 1�2 4 3

(KSDK Sports) -- We are learning more about the circumstances involving the suspension of University of Missouri basketball player Michael Dixon.
Dixon, a senior guard for the Tigers, hasn't played so far this season due to the suspension.
According to the police report from the Columbia Police Department, received by the KSDK Sports Department, Dixon was accused of "forcible" rape on August 20. The report goes on to state that no charges were filed due to "lack of sufficient evidence."
But, Boone County Prosecutor Tracy Gonzalez did tell the Kansas City Star that if additional evidence was found, the case could be reviewed and charges could be field.

I talked to Cody Sanderson today in the wrestling room today. I wasn't able to talk to Cyler, and I probably won't be able to write story [School.....], so I figured I'd give this to the people.
Cody was wearing an Iowa State wrestling shirt and had some interesting things to say. He said he's going to be around for a few weeks:
"We've got several guys competing this weekend and preparing for the World Team Trials, and guys that are kind of caught in the middle of all this. I'd like to do as much as I can to make sure they transition as smoothly as possible, and when the new coach gets here, they can greet him and take off and not look back too much.
"It's good to get a few more practices in with these guys – go take down a couple of 'em before I go, give them something to remember me by."
Cody said that Cyler is undecided as to whether he's leaving or not.
"With him and making his decision, what I'm going to try to do is listen to him, and let him bounce ideas and thoughts off me, and let him get his mind clear so he can make the best decision possible, because it's going to be tough on him. He's loyal; he loves the guys on this team; he's a Cyclone. But those family ties are pretty tough, too.
I'm not going to try to push him. He's an adult. He's getting married this upcoming summer[August], so he's making adult decisions. Whatever he does, I'm behind him 100 percent."
"I'm sorry that this is something that he has to deal with. I'm sorry that this is something all these guys have to deal with, you know, [but] especially him. Because not only is he losing his coach potentially, you know, his big brothers are going to be going somewhere else. So there is added pressure for him to make that decision. In the last 24 hours alone, I've had at least a dozen people call me, text me, email me asking me what he's going to do and giving opinos on what he should do, so I know a lot of people are wanting him to stay.
And if he does stay, I hope he's treated well and not looked down upon because his older brothers decided to go somewhere else, because, you know, he's his own person, and he's going to do what's best."
On Cyler feeling the pressure of expectations during college:
"He feels the pressure. He tries not to feel the pressure; he knows somewhere in the back of his mind that whenever he steps on the mat, people think of Cael. That's just how it is. And I know that it's hard on him, and I think he's done an incredible job dealing with it. I think his wrestling at times hasn't been as good because of his situation, but I think he's just done a tremendous job, and he's a great kid, and I really want his senior year to go well for him.
And I really want, when he finishes up with it, for him to be at peace with whatever happens, and hopefully he achieves a national title individually, but I'm not sure what singlet he'll be in to do that, though."
Cody said Cael kept him involved during the decision:
"He asked me if I would support it [if he decided to go to Penn State] and I said I would 100 percent. I told him it was going to be a hard decision, and he knew that. And if he decided to leave, there would be a lot of people upset with him, and he would probably have a hard time emotionally, that he was going to be leaving behind a good group of guys, and he knew that.
And that was the hardest part about it. I think that's the hardest part of any change is changing the relationships you have with people. I think that was the most difficult for him.
"It's hard for me. I'm a Cyclone. I was the first of four brothers to come here, and I love it here, I love the guys on the team. This is a great place, but I'm very supportive of what he's doing. I think he's going to be successful. I'm very happy to help him with it. I'm really going to miss what I'm doing here, and I'm excited about the opportunity and what we're going to be doing there."

Thank you for posting, I truly believe people especially the Cyclone Family will lift Cyler to another level, if he stays. I just pray if he stay he doesn't get distracted and given the million questions with the Cael leaving stories all season long. I would be thrilled if he stayed and I believe that the recruits will look up to him b/c he will show them what it means to stick it out and give a commitment to the school we all love so very much!
Iowa State Cyclones
Good stuff. Thanks again for your contributions.
Sounds like a pretty stand-up family. I wish them the best.
In a few years we'll know if Cael is bigger than the ISU program and whether the ISU wrestling program is bigger than Cael. These things are not mutually exclusive.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King Jr.
This might be Cyler's chance to leave his brother's shadow. If he stays he becomes his own person and might be known for the brother that didn't follow the easy route laid out by his brother. If he does really well by placing in the top 3-4 next year, he might really empower himself and "no longer" fell the pressure of being Cael's' brother.
I think it would be good for him to stay and then follow his brother after college if he plans to continue wrestling or go into coaching.
Cyler could be on a National Championship team at Iowa State next season if he stays...the crowd support will be fantastic!!!
There's no other team that he would transfer to that would give him a better chance at a team national championship.
IMO, if Cyler stays the ENTIRE Cyclone Family should rally behind him for his senior season. Staying or going will be the toughest decision that young man has had to make. I think it will be a true statement about Cyclone Wrestling if he stays and we should appreciate him for making the committment.
FWIW, if he stays I'll be giving him a standing ovation every time he wrestles.

And that would be something that none of his brother's have.
This even makes the next coaching hire that much more impotant. I would think that several of the guys are waiting to see who the coach is before they make a firm decision!!
I did end up writing a story.
"Wrestlers left in limbo in wake of Sanderson's departure."
[I wrote "Pan Am Wrestling Championship." Should be the Championships... didn't get caught in the editing process... gotta fix that]
Bonus quotes:
"It's sad to see them leave, but we're Cyclones, you know, we're going to fight and win that national title as Cyclones," -- Jon Reader.
Didn't use the full quote from Nick Gallick. Here it is.
"We're planning on sticking together. I don't know really what everybody is doing, but it's important that we stick together, so we'll see how everything plays out, but we have such a good team, it's important everyone sticks together so that we can win a championship."
Gallick on the coaches leaving
"They're all great coaches and its real tough to lose them… I liked... you know, it's hard on me. But things happen, and you've got to roll with it. He's doing what's best for him and his family, and I respect that . I understand. So I don't hold anything against him. And I don't blame him , you know, it's a very good opportunity and I don't blame him for taking it. If I was in the same position, you never know, I might do the same thing, so... that's how it played out."
why not cody for head coach?

Good stuff, thanks. I like what I'm hearing from the guys.

A woman behind me muttered wearily, "If I had a million dollars, I'd never get on an airliner again." As she spoke, holiday music was playing somewhere in the departure lounge, and I began daydreaming. If I had an extra million dollars, I thought, I'd have a Christmas wish list involving air travel, but none of it would be on an airliner.

A new insurance policy offers owners and operators of charter aircraft protection from loss of income should mechanical issues cancel or terminate flights. Typically the charter customer gets all the sympathy when these events occur, as the broker and/or operator scramble to find a replacement aircraft. But if you're the owner or operator of the grounded airplane, the cancelled flight could cost you thousands of dollars.

(UPDATED) SIGHTING: Someone needed a vacay and took it
Can you guess the mystery baller who was spotted swimming + sunning near Corsica, France?! Seriously, if you get this wrong you'll need to turn in your tennis fan card.
Answer and additional pictures after the jump!
Why, yes, it's Roger Federer and wifey, Mirka, riding a yacht while taking a much needed vacay after a disappointing stretch which included early losses at Roland Garros + Wimbledon where he failed to defend both of his titles.
Get thee some sun. Super stat.
UPDATE: More pics of RoKa on vacay this time with one of the mangoes, though I'm not sure which of them he's holding here. Blame the twin thing and all.

Alright, srsly...I am SO missing the seventies short-shorts right now. Good thing I DVRed that Borg/McEnroe tiebreak.
LMAO it kinda looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi on a Tatooine beach vacay. Geek alert.ReplyDelete
Lol Fed looks like a homeless person in this pictureReplyDelete
From the pictures, it doesn't really look that Federer is "enjoying" the vacation. I mean, there is no look of relaxation on his face ... it is like he is physically present on the beach, and thats it.ReplyDelete
Not a good thing. Or maybe I'm just over analyzing.
ROFL at the Star Wars comments b/c I thought the exact same thing immediatelyReplyDelete
Also, two other words popped to mind - hairy and saggy
^LOL^ I don't mind a little hair - not a carpet - but some fur is fine. Not on the back, though. Ick. That goes for any sag as well.ReplyDelete

Difference: UsingGit (r19 vs. r18)
Accessing source code via Git
Browsing the repository
The Rockbox source code is available to browse online at http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=summary
The log of commits to the master branch (the current development work) is at http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/master
Downloading (cloning, checking out) the source
You need to have git installed to check out the source code. Linux users should be able to install it from their distribution package manager; Windows users will need to use msysgit or Cygwin git (we don't currently have a good idea which of these is preferable). Once you have git installed, you can get a copy of the Rockbox source repository with:
git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox
This will create a directory called
If you are behind a restrictive firewall, this command might fail. You can try to check out via HTTP instead, which is more likely to work with firewalls but may be slower:
git clone http://gerrit.rockbox.org/p/rockbox
Updating the source
Any time you want to update your copy to the latest code, you can do:
git pull --rebase
This will download the latest changes, and then update your working copy to be based on the latest version. If you've made any local commits, they will be moved to be on top of the latest version. Git experts will notice that we are recommending rebasing rather than merging here; if you know what you are doing you can merge instead, but in most cases rebasing is the right thing to do. If you've made no changes then you don't need to worry about this.
Preparing to make changes
Before making any changes, you need to tell git who you are. Commits in git are identified by a name and email address, not by a username. If you already use git, you may have done this already; however, note that Rockbox policy requires that you use your real name. Set your name and email with:
git config --global user.name "John Doe" git config --global user.email firstname.lastname@example.com
You will probably find git easier to use if you enable coloured output with
Setting up Gerrit
Rockbox uses a server program called Gerrit to host the project's git repositories. Gerrit provides self-service access control and the ability to upload code to be reviewed. All committers need to use Gerrit in order to make commits. Even if you are not a committer, you should set up an account on Gerrit if you ever intend to contribute any changes to Rockbox - you don't need to have commit access in order to upload a proposed change to be looked at. There are several steps, but you only need to do this once, before you start making changes.
Making changes locally
You can simply edit any file in the working directory to make changes. Once you're happy with your changes and want to make a permanent record of them, you can commit them to your local repository. You don't need to have commit access to the server to do this; the commit is only stored on your local computer to start with.
Git keeps track of the changes to be committed in a hidden file called the "index" (also sometimes referred to as the cache). This means that you have to explicitly tell git which changes to add to the index before you can commit your changes. You can see which files you have changed with
git add path/to/file.c
Once you have added some changes to the index, you can check on the status of your working directory with
When you've made sure that the index contains the changes you want to commit, create a commit with:
git commit
This will start your default text editor in order to enter a commit message. The suggested format for a commit message is to start with a single, short line that describes the overall purpose of the commit (a single sentence), then a blank line, then a full description of your change taking as many lines as you need. The template will show you which files you are committing; if you want to see the full diff of the changes you are committing, you can run
Alternatively, you can use
If you want to make further changes after making a commit, you can just follow the same process again to create a new commit, but you may prefer to amend the existing commit (for example, if you are making a correction to the change you previously made). You can't amend things once they have been submitted to Rockbox, but you are free to do so as much as you like on your local machine or submitted to gerrit, and if it's part of the same logical change it's encouraged. To amend the most recent commit use
Uploading a change for review and testing
Gerrit is a code review system as well as a git server. Anyone can upload a change for review, you don't need to be a developer with commit access. You need to commit your change locally first as shown in the earlier section, and you should make sure your commit message has had a Change-Id: line inserted by the commit-msg hook - if not then check the Gerrit setup instructions for how to install the hook and try again. Each local commit you have made will create a separate code review on Gerrit, with dependencies between them in the order they were made. Generally, you will want to flatten your change to a single commit before uploading it: read GitCommitPolicy for an explanation of what makes a good commit or series of commits.
To push your change to the code review system:
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
The output will include the URL of the newly created code review, which you can also find on your review list at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#mine - you can visit the review to see the patch and any comments people have added.
If you need to change your patch, use
Anyone can review your change, and generally the best way to get it reviewed will be to ask on IRC, or post on rockbox-dev, with a link to the review. However, if you know a specific person is interested in reviewing it or knows a lot about the code you are changing, you can invite them specifically by entering their name or email address in the "Add Reviewer" field and they will be emailed automatically.
If you can't remember
[alias] gerrit = push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
Reviewing changes
All changes are publicly visible and anyone with a Gerrit account can review them. The most useful kind of comment is a comment on a specific line of the patch. To do this, double click on the line while in the diff view. These comments are saved as drafts until you are done, and are not visible to anyone other than you until you publish them.
Once you have written your comments on specific lines, click the "Review" button on the patchset. This will take you to a form where you can enter any overall comments that are not specific to any particular line, and will also allow you to assign scores to the patch. You don't need to assign scores in order to leave comments. Once you're done, click the "Publish Comments" button to make your comments visible to everyone, and to send an email with the comments to the author and reviewers.
Comments and scores apply to particular versions of a change (a single patch set) so if the author later uploads a new version all scores are reset. You can see the comments for a previous version by expanding the old patch set on the change's main page.
Review scores
Each review has a score on two different criteria. The most important criteria is the code review score. Anyone can assign a code review score of +1 or -1, to indicate that they think the change looks OK, or that they think the change should not be accepted. Scores of +1 and -1 are for information only; they don't affect your ability to actually submit a change, but if people have scored your change as -1 then you should at least make sure you have understood why. Committers have permission to assign scores of +2 or -2. For a change to be submitted, you need at least one committer to give it a +2 score, and you may not submit if any committer has given it a -2 score. The scores do not add up: two +1s do not make a +2, and a +2 does not cancel out a -2.
There is a second review score called "Tested", which you may use to indicate that you tested a change (whether it's your change or someone else's) on a target device, and it either worked or did not work. If it doesn't work, please make sure to add a comment explaining what went wrong. Changes do not have to score +1 Tested before they can be submitted; we assume that changes have been tested by their author at minimum. If you haven't tested it (e.g. it's a change for a device you do not have), please do try and get someone else to test it. A score of -1 Tested (i.e. fails) also does not block the change from being submitted, in order that a tester who has made a mistake can be overruled without requiring them to change their score, but again: if someone has marked your change as failing, please make sure you understand why before you submit.
Committing a change "for real" after code review
Once a change has a +2 Code Review score from a committer, and no -2 Code Review score from any other committer, it is eligible to be committed to the master branch. Any developer with commit access can do this: you doesn't have to be the original author, and you don't have to be the person who gave the change a +2. If you aren't a committer then you should probably ask the person who gave the change +2 to do this for you.
All you need to do is click the "Submit Patch Set" button, and the change will be cherrypicked onto the branch. The original author of the change will be recorded as the author of the commit on the branch; the person who clicked the submit button will be recorded as the committer. The commit message will contain Reviewed-By lines indicating who gave the change a +2.
Because changes are commited via a cherry-pick, you will need to use
Submitting a change directly to the Rockbox master branch
Only developers with commit access can do this. Make sure you have read GitCommitPolicy before attempting to submit anything to master. You need to commit your change locally first as shown in the earlier section. To push your change to the master branch on the server:
git push origin HEAD:master
This means "push the HEAD (latest version of the currently checked out branch) to the branch named master, on the remote repository named origin". Git sets up the link to the remote repository when you initially clone the repository, and calls it "origin".
If this succeeds, you're done. However, if someone else has submitted a change since you last updated, it will fail, telling you that your change is not a fast-forward (i.e. your commit is not descended from the current latest commit). In most cases (when you have made one or more simple changes), you should rebase your changes to be based on the latest version. To do this, run:
git pull --rebase
This will set your changes aside in a temporary area, update to the latest version on the server, and then reapply each of your local commits in order. If any of them conflict, you will be given the opportunity to fix the conflicts and continue. Once you've done this, you can try and push again.
Rebasing certain kinds of change can be difficult; however, please do not just create a merge without considering the alternatives. The server will not allow you to push a merge commit without special permissions, in the interest of maintaining a clean history. Refer to the page on GitCommitPolicy for an explanation of why we discourage merging, what you can do instead, and how to get permission to do a merge if there is no sensible alternative.
Applying a patch from someone else
patch -p0 < /path/to/lang.patch
Verify that the patch is correct, then mark the file for commit:
git add apps/lang/modified.file.lang
git commit -s --author="John Doe <email@example.com>"
The --author will change the author of the patch. The -s will add a "Signed-off-by: Your Self <firstname.lastname@example.com>" line to the commit log.
Check that it went well with:
git show
When you release a binary using a certain revision in git, you should tag it with:
git tag -a rbutil_v6.66 <SHA1 COMMIT ID>
If you built it from the current source you can omit the commit id:
git tag -a bootloader_iphone_4s_v1337
Your editor will open, and you will add a description of the tag.
You will first need to add yourself to the Rockbox Release Committers group. In gerrit interface, go to Admin, then Groups, then select that group.
Then to push your tag to the repository use:
git push --tags
Remote Branches
New remote branches can be created via the Gerrit web interface.
To track the remote branch in new local branch, use:
git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name
To get a list of remote branches type:
git branch -r
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check out the revision previous to current?
git reset --hard HEAD~1 # replace 1 with N for any further revision backwards
NOTE: This discards any uncommitted changes as well. Use "git stash" to save them temporarily.
How do I check out an SVN revision made before the transition to git?
git log -n 1 --grep=@NNNNN
This returns a commit (including message, etc). Pass the hash to git checkout.
How do I undo a change (svn revert file.c)?
git checkout -- file.c
How do branches work?
git branches allow you to have multiple edited versions of the source tree at once.
To see your branches
git branch
To create a new branch
git branch branch_name
To switch to a different branch
git checkout branch_name
How do I diff against the rockbox git repo (equivalent of 'svn diff')
git diff origin/master
How do I undo all my changes and revert to rockbox git?
git reset --hard origin/master
How do I bisect using git?
git bisect start git bisect bad # Mark the current commit as bad git bisect good <hash/tag> # Marks the last known-good commit
After that git will start bisect and automatically checkout commits for you. Depending on whether they are good or bad you run
git bisect good
git bisect bad
or if the current revision can't be tested (e.g. because it doesn't build)
git bisect skip
and git will automatically proceed with bisection.
To cancel or finish bisection run:
git bisect reset
That'll drop you to where you started. "git bisect --help" has a lot more information.
Experimenting with git and gerrit
If you want to experiment with using git and gerrit, there is a sandbox repository in order to allow you to do this without interfering with real development. You do not need to be a committer to use the sandbox; the permissions are more relaxed and anyone is allowed to submit changes. It doesn't contain any real code, though!
To check out the sandbox repository, use:
git clone git://git.rockbox.org/sandbox
You can try out anything mentioned on this page using the sandbox repository.

Re: They plant themselves
Ever notice the mechanism these tiny cyclamen use to propagate?
Once the pretty flower has faded a seed pod forms at the end of the stem. As the seeds develop, the pod gets heavier and heavier. Soon the weight of the seed pod lowers the stem to "kiss" the ground where the seeds find ready contact with soil.
They actually plant themselves.
Very Charming!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WBIR) -- Smithfield has agreed to donate 40,000 pounds of pork salvaged from a tractor trailer accident to a food bank, says Second Harvest. The USDA inspected and cleared the meat for use.
On Sunday, the Knoxville Police Department asked both Second Harvest Food Bank, of Maryville, and The Salvation Army to help it collect packaged meat from a tractor trailer that had flipped on the ramp to the James White Parkway from I-40 West.
Streno said Smithfield was generous to Second Harvest in the past and remained optimistic it would let her non-profit agency keep the meat for distribution.
Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM) near downtown Knoxville also waited to see if it would receive some of the meat. KARM is partnered with Second Harvest.
KARM spokesperson Sue Renfro said her agency will be fine.

LOVE this and will have to try. Any suggestions for making dye on brown eggs more vibrant? I can't find white eggs over here in Ireland! That's one thing I miss about the states. :)**

Thanks for the new idea! Had been dreading dying eggs with all the cups of hot water for each color. This worked out well for us. Kids are happy with their creations and clean up was easy too.

Forms and Instructions
Getting Started
Is Your Project Human Subjects Research? Complete and submit the SLU IRB Human Subjects Research Determination Form for an official determination.
Tips for Choosing the Appropriate IRB Application
IRB Application Forms
Paper IRB Applications were removed as of August 1, 2011. New protocols should be created and submitted in eIRB. Emergency Use, HUD, WIRB and CIRB Applications are still being accepted on paper forms. Exempt Applications not yet converted in eIRB can also use post-approval paper forms, such as the Change-in-Protocol Form.
***Go to eIRB to create and submit your protocol electronically***
Emergency Treatment Form
Emergency Use Informed Consent Template (New)
Emergency Treatment Status Update/Closure Form (New)
These forms should be used when the use of a test article on a human subject in a life-threatening situation in which no standard acceptable treatment is available, and in which there is not sufficient time to obtain IRB approval [21 CFR 56.102(d)]. Prior to the use of the test article, please verify whether the article has been used previously at SLU, and contact the IRB for reporting requirements, including the requirement to obtain informed consent [21 CFR 50.23(a)]. For additional guidance, please refer to the SLU IRB Guidance for Emergency Use of Test Articles.
Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) Application
Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) Protocol Instructions
Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) Consent Form Template (Revised)
A humanitarian use device (HUD) is intended to benefit in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases or conditions that affect or are manifested in fewer than 4,000 individuals in the United States per year. Because the Saint Louis University IRB must conduct an initial and continuing review of HUD submissions, SLU clinicians will need to complete and submit these forms for review.
NCI Central IRB (CIRB) Application
This form should be used ONLY for authorized NCI Cooperative Group clinical trials. This form will be used in lieu of the full SLU IRB application. For guidance, please see the Guidelines for using NCI CIRB and the Quick Sheet for Submitting to NCI CIRB. Please note: CIRB-SLU boilerplate language must be incorporated into the locally-developed consent/assent forms.
Single Use of a Drug, Biologic or Device Application
Single Use Consent Template (Revised)
These forms should be used if a physician or researcher plans to treat a single patient who is not enrolled in a research study with an investigational drug, biologic or device.
Informed Consent Templates and Related Documents
Model Recruitment Statement/Cover Letter
This document can be used for projects where the use of an informed consent document is not appropriate but subjects still need to be informed about the research (i.e. exempt research and certain types of minimal risk research).
Biomedical (Clinical) Informed Consent Template (Revised)
This template should be used for biomedical/clinical projects submitted on the full IRB application (not exempt studies).
Behavioral & Social Sciences (Non-clinical) Consent Template (Revised)
This document should be used for behavioral and social sciences/non-clinical projects submitted on the full IRB application (not exempt studies).
Investigators are required to use the new Consent templates (above) for all new IRB submissions. NOTE: HIPAA authorization language has been separated from the informed consent templates. See HIPAA Authorization Form, below.
HIPAA Authorization Form
Lay Language Glossary for Consent Forms
Model Addendum Consent Document (Revised)
This document should be used for subjects who are already enrolled on a project and need to be informed of new information or changes relating to that project.
Short Form Consent Process
Use of the short form consent process and short form documents require prior IRB approval.
For more information see Guideline For Studies Involving Non-English Speaking Subjects.
Post-IRB Approval Forms For Paper Protocols
Post-IRB Approval Submission Requirements
Change-in-Protocol / For Information Form
This form should be used for existing paper protocols ONLY. If an approved study requires a change, the protocol should be submitted to the IRB office along with this form and any pertinent materials for review by the IRB prior to implementation; (however, changes may be implemented immediately when it is necessary to eliminate apparent hazards to subjects). This form may also be used to notify the IRB of study related information and to report Unanticipated Problems (UP).
Continuing Review Form/Notice of Study Closure (This Form only accepted for HUD, Emergency Use and NCI CIRB protocols that are not available in eIRB)
This form may be used to request continuation or closure for HUD , Emergency Use and NCI CIRB facilitated reviews ONLY. All other continuing reviews and study closure requests (final report forms in eIRB) must be requested in eIRB. All projects, excluding exempt research, are reviewed by the IRB on a continuing basis. The investigator is responsible for submitting the request for continuing review along with pertinent materials. Please see the IRB guidelines for Closure of Human Subjects Research Studies for guidance on when to close a study.
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Report Form
Instructions for completing SAE Report Form
This form should be used when reporting serious adverse events (SAEs) on paper protocols to the IRB. Investigators must report all SAEs possibly related to a protocol approved by the SLU IRB. Please see the Requirements for Reporting Events Relating to Subject Safety for an explanation of the SAE reporting requirements at SLU.
SAE Memo 01/2015 (New)
UP Tracking Table (Do not submit to the IRB)
Investigators are required to report Unanticipated Problems (UPs) possibly related to a protocol approved by the SLU IRB on the Change-in-Protocol/For Information/UP form (use eIRB if reporting UP on electronic protocol). A tracking form has been created to assist investigators in logging UPs submitted to the IRB (similar to the cumulative table on the SAE form). This form is only a tool for investigators, and does not require submission to the IRB.
Other Forms
Scientific Review Form for Investigator Initiated Studies
This form should be completed by the Scientific Review Committee for investigator initiated research studies. The link will take you to the guidance and the form which is located at the end of the guidance. If submitting in eIRB, the Scientific Review process occurs within the system and this form is only needed if scientific pre-review was not properly conducted in eIRB.
Department Chair Approval Form
This form should be completed by the Department Chair if the Department Chair Approval was not properly conducted in eIRB during the initial submission, when the Principal Investigator is changed, or upon IRB request.
Research in Concept Only
This form should be used when there are no definite plans for research involving human subjects. Submit form to the IRB office at firstname.lastname@example.com when completed.
Preparatory to Research Review Application
This form should be used by researchers to request approval to review protected health information (PHI) for the purpose of designing a research study, determining feasibility for a research study or identifying potential research subjects.

You're certainly basing those cities and regions on Slovenia and northern Italy ...
I first would like to say how impressed I was when I visited this forum, its so great to see people with a similiar interest as me!
My request is for a modern Military Defence Map in a style such as this (http://en.rian.ru/images/16071/31/160713161.jpg) which shows the 3 military defence regions (the map designer can divide it any way they wish..just split it in 3) of the fictional country that I take part in a political simulation in called the Ocian Federation.. (here is a terrain map of Ocia http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4430/ociamap.png). If possible it would be great if the map maker would be able to indicate the presence of an underground military bunker located in the general vicinity of west of the city of Valais.
If possible It would be great if the map could show the regions (just like that first map of Russia) simply with dark colored dividing lines..Ocia's regions are identified by the dotted lines shown in this map (http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7228/ocmap.png). And lastly if possible It would be great if the map could indicate the radius of our radar defence network ( like this map does http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/962...efensegrid.png. The network is called the "Motherland Early Information Airspace Defence System" and the designer can decide on the size of the radius for the radar so long as the entire country is covered.
If the designer feels that adding the symbols for the simulation's military would improve the look of it the symbol can be found here http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9027/trace1.png)
If someone is interested in this topic and wants to help me out with this I would be extremely grateful! Either way thank you for showing interest in this post and sorry for the amateur quality of the maps I showed!
(p.s I do not want to have the copyrights to any persons work if they decide to do this..its just for a simulation I am apart of)

yes my family is from slovenia : D
So any takers? : P I'm not a graphics design expert so I am not sure if this is an easy or a hard project...
You might try grabbing some data from Natural Earth and carving it up in QuantumGIS.
could this be used for my project even though he map I'm looking to make is from a fictional world?
oh sorry. Unfortunately its a fictional world, I only named the towns after real cities : P
Something like this?
Wow thank you so much for putting in the effort! It looks fantastic and the color scheme is great! I owe you my many thanks.

Since the last thread died out ...
Simple questions:
Q1: Do you execute the following trade:
HOU: Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee, Nets 2014 first round pick
BOS: Asik
Q2: What if it costs Marshon Brooks instead of Courtney Lee?
Q3: What if it costs Avery Bradley instead of Courtney Lee?
( I posted this question to a Rockets forum on SBNation. Of course 70% said no, but there were some "Yes" replies and some interesting comments. It sounds like fans would like Lee back. I don't think they know all that much about Bass to understand that he's a good fit at the 4. And of course, they overvalue Asik. Maybe overvalue is the wrong word, but they certainly know they could use him to get a better deal down the road, which is true. http://www.thedreamshake.com/2013/9/4/4695120/asik-trade )

Their idea of an "all around" motorcycle is a hypermotard that comes with a it's own matching step-ladder..I think they forgot what motorcycles are supposed to be, and are swirling around in their own maelstrom of hype.
Back to the topic at hand, it seems there's at least one useful magazine article out there in the U.K. magazine "The Classic Motorcycle." It won't tell you anything you didn't know (or at least could not have guessed) if you've kept up with the Enfield forums, but it's a fairly detailed article, and it's available for the moment on their website.http://www.classicmotorcycle.co.uk/

Degradation of DNA in Plasma
Application ID: 1391
Biotechnology is a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical sciences. One example of a clinical application is gene therapy, where it is possible to produce proteins in vivo, using the body's own mechanisms for protein production. Major issues in gene delivery involve the transport of plasmid DNA (pDNA) to target sites and the conversion between different forms of pDNA.
This example illustrates the use of the Parameter Estimation feature of the Reaction Engineering interface to find the rate constants of the three consecutive reactions involved in a typical DNA degradation process.

WASHINGTON (WUSa9) -- When it comes to breast cancer, early detection saves lives. It's also a way to have simpler treatments and live a normal life span.
One relatively new treatment in D.C. gives eligible patients weeks of radiation therapy in a single dose, immediately after surgery.
State Farm agent Mary Shanholtzer was three years overdue for an annual mammogram. She finally scheduled one after a woman she didn't even know asked her during a phone call "When was the last time you had a mammogram?"
It turns out her new Buddy was Marie Kissinger, a State Farm customer and a radiology imaging technician who worked less than a quarter mile from her job in Waldorf, Maryland.
"I'm a procrastinator when it comes to my health," admitted Mary.
She added, "I thought I wasn't at greatest risk because there was no family history."
Mary was thrown for a loop when she learned the mammogram detected a Stage 1 malignant lesion. But it was discovered so early, she chose to have a lumpectomy.
However, it also meant driving a daily 60-mile round trip from Southern Maryland to Georgetown Hospital for nearly 7 weeks to receive radiation treatments.
Mary told us, "Five days a week. I work full time. I don't want to leave this job."
In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, transportation issues are the second greatest barriers to follow-up care. However, Mary was an excellent candidate for a state of the art procedure called IORT.
Dr. Shawna Wiley, Breast Surgeon told us, "IORT stands for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy."
Dr. Shawna Wiley is director of MedStar's Regional Breast Health Program & Mary's breast surgeon at Georgetown. She explained, "We limit this to women over 50, with tumors two centimeters or smaller and limited to women who are node negative...meaning, they don't have any cancer that's spread."
Here's how IORT works: Once the lumpectomy is completed, the surgical team steps aside and the radiology team moves in and positions the Intrabeam IORT. On the end of that is called the applicator. It will be placed inside the tumor bed so that radiation can be delivered directly to the site.
The one time, low dose radiation takes a little more than 30 minutes, based on the size of the tumor cavity. The results are just as effective as whole breast radiation, but without damaging any surrounding healthy tissue.
Dr. Eleni Tousimis, a Breast Surgeon, told us, "The real advantage of this, you can have it twice if they need it again in the future and still save the breast."
Once it's over, the patient is taken to recovery. Then the patient is released later the same day.
Mary described her experience: "They gave me painkillers, they gave me nausea medication and I never needed either."
Mary only missed four days of work.
Again, IORT candidates must be over 50, have an early stage tumor under 2 centimeters in size, with no lymph node involvement. Currently, MedStar Georgetown & MedStar Washington Hospital Center are the only two hospitals in DC offering IORT.

Montana FWP has tenatively set the statewide quota for wolves in MT at 220 for 2011. That is supposedly about 35-40% of the statewide population. If we hunters do our part and fill the quota, that should be a good start in slowing down the problem. Resident tags will be $19 OTC. Non-resident $350 OTC.
Maybe not the optimum solution for hunters, but we are headed in the right direction.

The number of publicly announced staffing firm mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. rose to 20 in the second quarter of 2012 from 14 that closed in the first quarter, according to a new report "Staffing mergers and acquisitions for 1H12 and M&A multiples" released this week by Staffing Industry Analysts.
Overall, there were 62 percent more acquisitions in the first half of 2012 than the first half of 2011.
"In the second quarter of this year, the number of publicly announced acquisitions as well as the number of acquisitions reported in our own Pulse survey showed a moderate uptick from recent quarters," said Research Analyst Timothy Landhuis.
"We also note that 12 percent of the deals that closed in the first half of this year involved legal temporary staffing firms, even though legal staffing firms make up only about one percent of all staffing firms," Landhuis said. "This indicates an unusually high level of interest in the legal segment."
Staffing Industry Analysts research also found that as of June 30, 2012, public staffing firms displayed a median market capitalization to revenue ratio of 0.33, up from the ratio of 0.26 at the end of 2011.

The origins of the V-Rod
At the famed Daytona 200 in 1994, Harley-Davidson threw down the gauntlet to the AMA Superbike world.
The company showed up with its first all-new road-racing design since the 1970s and up-and-coming Miguel Duhamel at the controls.
The VR1000 was a radical departure for Harley, a company known for slower-revving, push-rod motors in its streetbikes and its stalwart XR750 dirt-trackers.
The motor was still a V-twin, but just about everything else, from the massive beam frame to the overhead cams, water cooling and fuel injection, was new to the orange and black. Hopes were high that Harley, in the unfamiliar role of underdog, could compete head-to-head against high-revving four-cylinder Japanese superbikes and established European racing twins.
Initial impressions were promising. In its first race at Daytona, Duhamel started the VR 68th on the grid and steadily moved up to 20th. When the counter-balancer came apart on lap 22, the machine had lasted more than 78 miles—16 miles more than it'd need in the usual 62-mile Nationals. Even more impressive, Duhamel had run laps in the 1-minute, 54-second range, not far off the pace of the leaders.
The bike continued to show flashes of competitiveness in its first season, with Duhamel finishing third at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. But in the years that followed, the VR's early promise was never fulfilled.
Though its initial horsepower and handling targets put it in the ballpark compared to the Japanese bikes, the development of rival machines outpaced the efforts of Harley's factory team and independent tuners working on privateer VRs, like this one, ridden by Tripp Nobles.

|Memory of fallen soldiers honored at Memorial Park
|Written by April Peregoy
As the rain began to fall on a wet, yet beautiful, Memorial Day morning, a small crowd gathered at the gazebo near Holyoke Memorial Park to pay tribute to the service of the nation's veterans and to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Though it sprinkled through the program, the heavy rain that occurred later in the day held off long enough for the ceremony to run smoothly.
A Memorial Day prayer, given by Elton Oltjenbruns, opened the program, followed by Ella Stewart singing the The Star Spangled Banner. Stewart sang two more pieces during the ceremony, including Be Thou My Vision and God Bless the USA.
Placing of the memorial wreaths was done by Deane Anderson and José León. A sobering Memorial Honor Roll of those from Holyoke who lost their lives in combat, followed by a list of veterans who have died in the last seven years, was read by Terry Barth and Shirley Kadlec. A salute from the Honor Guard was then given.
Taps, played by Jack Wieland on trumpet, closed Monday morning's program.
Lest we forget...
As a pharmacist for the Army in World War II, Glen Elmer Stenson, Jr. joined fellow veterans at the opening of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. In his speech at Holyoke's Memorial Day service, he emphasized the importance of these memorials in the effort to keep future generations from forgetting the sacrifices that have been made by those in the military.
"Did you know there is not one memorial to World War I veterans in Washington, D.C.?" he asked the crowd.
The tradition of Memorial Day in the United States, said Stenson, began in the years following the Civil War, to honor the thousands of lives that were lost. Yet, he added, memorial days around the world have been common since Biblical times.
On Memorial Day, he said, people often reflect on the sacrifices of those who served in World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam and even the Civil War. However, he said, we should not forget those who fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
"Their government gave them no benefits for fighting these wars," he said, "because they did not have the money to give. But without these men, we would not have become the freest nation in the world."
Organizations like the American Legion and VFW, he went on to say, are also vital to the fight in protecting the benefits for future generations in the armed services.
Soldiers returning home after World War I never received the benefits they were promised when they signed up. When World War II started, it was these veterans who fought for Congress to come up with the GI Bill, so the same thing would not happen to World War II soldiers.
"The same thing happened in Vietnam," said Stenson. "World War II and Korea veterans fought to keep these same benefits for Vietnam soldiers. And now, the Vietnam vets are fighting for benefits for our men who are serving in Operation Freedom."
One way vets can prevent the government and society from forgetting about the importance of its armed forces, said Stenson, is to tell their stories. "You may not want to," he said, "but you need to tell your stories to your children and grandchildren to keep the memory alive for future generations."

Sorry if this is an obvious/basic question, but I've searched and can't find a past thread or FAQ topic.
Is there a straightforward way of importing my settings, folders, stored e-mails etc. from Thunderbird? I'd rather not have to manually input all my e-mail account settings again and I have loads of archived e-mails in Thunderbird that I'd like to be able to search in Zimbra if I decide to use it as my e-mail client.
Many thanks in advance.

The imagearc function has a precision of one degree. The function truncates the $start and $end values to the inferior degree.
For example if the starting angle you calculated is : -178.62450462172°
and the ending angle is : -152.78056427917°
imagearc will draw a curve from -178° to -152°.
If you need accurate curves drawing, you need to use a loop to draw little step-by-step lines. By creating a large number of short enough lines, you will create the impression of a curve with accuracy.
