Yes, you would have to hook into the Nocheat API.
SugarCraft maybe this can help you: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/nocheatplus/pages/documentation/api/
update to 1.5 pl0x
It is. It has been. Please check before requesting.
Just downloaded v2.2, keep up the good work!
i copied the first example code and i STILL got an error on this line: public void onNameTag(PlayerReceiveNameTagEvent event) {
i dont even know what the error is i copied the example code exactly!
can you also set a players prefix and suffix, like you can do with http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/1-5-scoreboards-change-player-nametag-color.134987/ if that was included, this is an awsome plugin
Prefix and suffix is specifically tied to the scoreboard system. Having a plugin such as TagAPI screw with that system is precisely not what scoreboards are written for.
Hello, I would like to edit a plugin I use (Simple Prefix) to support TagAPI and display the prefix in front of the username, above the players head.
However, I have about no know knowledge in coding with java, so I was wondering if anybody could possibly help me?
How do i call the PlayerReceiveNameTag event?
Hello !
How to associate a color to a permission group please ?
If I want my " viking " group have a blue name, how can I do ?
Cordialy !
Any Commands for Renaming the NameTAG ? So the tag above my player, displays an other name ?
TagAPI is exactly what the name implies; an API. Another plugin has to do that.
You don't call it, you listen for it. When the TagAPI plugin exists on the server it calls the events.
Oh Great thanks works perfectly
Woot! re-visited this! Just made it so all players on Endcraft get randomly coloured name tags! Keep up the good work
i am having a problem with this api. at first i thought it was the NameTags plugin but then i tried colorme and it happened again...
Whenever someone is pvping and gets killed, when they respawn they have a green name(the &a one) and i cant change this... no matter what rank they are, they respawn with a green name and its very annoying, any reason why its happening?
One of your plugins is telling TagAPI it wants to be green?
Im confused! Ok so I have:
public void onNameTag(PlayerReceiveNameTagEvent event) {
Player player = event.getNamedPlayer();
event.setTag(ChatColor.RED + player.getDisplayName());
and then I have:
if(sender instanceof Player) {
if (commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("nametagapi")) {
So this should Refresh the nametag is I type /nametagapi? And then I see the player refresh but their name tag is still white!
Handled over IRC
I did it Thanks guys <3
In the next release of CaptureThePoints it will be using this to color player name's based upon which team they are on.
Where would I put a code like this? Under what file or folder?
The one that would change my name to red for everyone.
public void onNameTag(PlayerReceiveNameTagEvent event) {
if (event.getNamedPlayer().getName().equals("AppleMan88")) {
event.setTag(ChatColor.RED + "AppleMan88");
You'd put it in a class file that you then register the event for.
I don't quite understand since I'm a noob at this plugin stuff, where would the class file go and how do you make a class file?
Learn more about plugin development first
Alright, any recommendations on places to learn about this, or just search it up on YouTube?
First, learn java. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
mbaxter Hey, I found a bug
I wrote a plugin for killstreaks with the scoreboard(SIDEBAR), and it worked, then I wanted use your tagAPI, so I just made an event for it, but when I exported it, you tagAPI worked fine, but my scoreboard dissappeared. So it doesn't work for scoreboards(SIDEBAR-type).

- 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained, optional
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing
- 1. In a bowl, combine artichokes, olives if desired, green pepper and onions. Add dressing and toss to coat.
- 2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 3-4 servings.

Derivation of clinical grade HLA-homozygous human stem cell lines using parthenogenetic activation of oocytes
The goal of these studies is to develop a bank of special stem cell lines from which therapeutic cells may be created that will not be immune rejected by millions of patients of different ages, sexes and racial groups. Researchers and clinicians may use these stem cells as source material to develop new treatments of previously untreatable degenerative and hereditary diseases, including; paralysis, blindness, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, hemophilia, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, sickle cell anemia and many others.
One of the most serious problems of cell transplantation is immune rejection of the cells. The success of transplantation depends on creating cells that are immune matched with the patient. These cell lines carry the special property called "HLA-homozygosity" that makes them easier to immune-match with large segments of the human population for therapeutic use.
Human stem cells known as "embryonic stem cells," can be changed into any cell found in the body. These cells are usually obtained from fertilized eggs and this is an ethical problem for many people who consider destroying a fertilized egg to be the same as destroying a human life. We address this problem by using unfertilized human eggs to create the stem cell lines. The process of deriving these cell lines is called parthenogenesis. These cell lines divide infinitively and represent an inexhaustible source of derivatives and have been shown to have the same ability as embryonic stem cells to become any cell in the body. For this work it is necessary to obtain a limited number of human eggs from informed donors under conditions and review dictated by state and federal regulations.
The method of parthenogenesis has already proven to produce several HLA-homozygous stem cell lines. One parthenogenetic HLA homozygous stem cell line has already been created that is immune-matched with hundreds of millions of people of differing sexes, ages and racial groups. Nuclear transfer has yet to produce a human patient matched embryonic stem cell line. A method of reprogramming of the patient's somatic cells and its nuclei has not resulted in the creation of clinically useful patient matched stem cell lines. Moreover, all cells of patients with hereditary diseases carry the corresponding genetic defect. In these situations it would be important to use pluripotent stem cell lines obtained from healthy donors, not from the patient.
It is necessary to create additional {REDACTED} lines matched with other large segments of the human population. Establishing a bank of {REDACTED} lines and tissue repository from these lines may potentially eliminate the concern for immune rejection and be used to treat millions of persons worldwide. In addition, the cell bank will result in intellectual property that will bring increased valuation for California research organizations, increased investment, and increased employment and tax revenues to California.
We propose to build a bank of HLA-homozygous human parthenogenetic stem cell lines that carry different common immune types (called HLA haplotypes) allowing the cells to be immune-matched to millions of people of differing sexes and racial backgrounds. The cell bank will be a California-based resource used in research and therapeutic applications worldwide in cases where stem cells or their derivatives are studied or needed to cure disease.
This project will benefit California through the use of proven technology to create a unique bank of stem cells to solve one of the most serious problem in regenerative medicine, that of immune rejection. This California-based resource will have the potential to relieve the suffering of millions of people worldwide because it will allow clinicians to match cells to their patients and treat a large patient base for many different diseases. Intellectual property will be created for California through this resource, resulting in increased valuation for California research organizations and the associated increase in investment, employment and tax revenues. The bank will provide cells that will be more ethically acceptable because they do not require the use of fertilized embryos. Finally, this bank will reduce the need to obtain human oocytes in the long run because once established, it will reduce the need to constantly obtain human oocytes for the creation of "patient-specific" stem cells though methods such as nuclear transfer.
California scientists now working intensively with human stem cells because of their great potential for use in regenerative medicine to cure many intractable diseases including diabetes, liver disease, blindness, Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, to name but a few. The goal is the derivation of human parthenogenetic HLA homozygous stem cell lines with the different HLA haplotypes found commonly within the U.S. Several of these lines have been created and proof of principle is established. One of these lines carries the most common HLA haplotype within the U.S. population. This line has a haplotype that can be immune-matched to tens of millions of Americans across different racial groups. We propose to derive additional HLA-homozygous lines with a goal of covering the entire population with special attention to being sure all racial groups are included.
Established informed consent procedures will be used and all regulatory requirements for HHS Policy for Protection of Human Research Subjects (45CFR46) and the National Academy of Sciences Guidelines for the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research will be followed in obtaining oocytes. All facilities will be inspected by the appropriate agencies as required. All HLA-homozygous lines will be created and banked under cGMP conditions in a manner that minimizes exposure to animal components and will be tested to establish them as clinical grade.

Rights continue to fade awayJuly 05,2014As you all know, we are celebrating the Fourth of July, the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. Many Americans are out and about, having cookouts, setting off fireworks and enjoying their lives.
But as much as Id like to wave a flag and have a grand ol time. I know that the land of the free has taken many steps in the wrong direction. In 2012 President Barack Obama signed into law the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). This act gave the U.S. government the right to indefinitely detain any U.S. citizen without trial, forever.
And even scarier, they dont even need to tell people that you have been taken. This is an egregious violation of our rights. President Obama pledged to shut down Gitmo, to repeal the Patriot Act, to pull us from Iraq. And he has barely achieved one.
And, as you know if you watch the news, troops are being sent back. So wave your flags and set off your fireworks. Your rights continue to slip away.

Previously we mentioned about Efficient Password Manager that can manage all passwords securely, now there is another simple yet useful utility that can help to safeguard all your sensitive data in centralized database. Named as S10 Password Vault, it can store all the confidential usernames and passwords in secured database under a master password enhanced with 256-bit AES algorithm suitable for both personal and enterprise use.
For the initial setup, users will be prompted to set the master password that will be used to lock and unlock the database at a later stage. Once successfully installed, just launch the program and it will bring you to a simple interface. Generally there are already a few predefined categories such as Banking, Email, Shopping, Websites and etc available for selection. Right clicking on each category will allow users adding as many as new accounts including those sensitive data such as username and password as it will be protected in secured database with a single master password. Good thing about this is it allows users to launch any online website quickly by just simply right clicking on specific account followed by launch button, besides allowing copies of both username and password to clipboard for further use. Some of other great features include the Account Import/Export under Tool option, ability to view all accounts with passwords in simple clicks as well addition or deletion of folders as desired.
The S10 Password Vault is compatible with Windows XP and Vista with a Microsoft .NET Framwork 2.0 or higher in order for it to work correctly. Users can download it from here for immediate use.

text: It looks like there really is a limit to how much coffee and doughnuts the Canadian populace can take: shares of Tim Hortons Inc. have been downgraded from "neutral" to "sell" today by a Goldman Sachs analyst over concerns that declining restaurant traffic could be an early indicator that the Canadian market is getting saturated. The loss of traffic was apparently offset somewhat by higher average prices, perhaps a result of the changes it made earlier this year in cup sizing. To move back into a favourable position, according to Goldman, the company would need to accelerate expansion in non-Canadian markets, grow in new areas (such as single-cup servings like Keurig's K-cups), improve same-store sales and appoint a new CEO already.

Witnesses fail to show in case against ex-cops
Two ex-policemen charged earlier this month with possession of arms and ammunition and threatening language yesterday had their matter postponed due to the absence of the prosecution's witnesses.
In an initial appearance on March 12, Jarrel Huntley, 27, of 140 Lamaha Springs, Greater Georgetown was accused
of having in his possession a 9mm pistol and 14 rounds of 9mm ammunition without a licence on March 11.
He and his colleague George Valladares, 35, of 159 Third Street, Alexander Village were both charged with using threatening language against Surindra Etwaroo on the same date in question. Both men had denied all of the charges brought before them.
Reasonable bail had been requested by the defendant's attorneys-at-law Bernard Dasilva and Patrice Henry and the men had been granted $30,000 bail on their threatening language charges. However, Huntley was remanded to prison on the possession of a firearm and ammunition without a licence charges.
In yesterday's proceedings, Prosecutor Joel Ricknauth deemed the situation "embarrassing" when he informed Magistrate Judy Latchman that the witnesses were not present.
Following the prosecutor's statement, defence lawyer Patrice Henry requested an early adjournment date.
The duo will return on May 6.

I've seen a couple of vintage bikes advertised with late 80's Athena that I would have to buy sight unseen, and I'm wondering whether anyone has a bike with it, and whether it's markedly worse than Record/Chorus. It certainly looks nice enough.
Other than recurring nightmares of trying to get Synchro II to index properly, not really.
1983 Colnago Super (Campy Record) | 1989 Eddy Merckx 7-Eleven Team Issue (Dura Ace) | Catamount MFS (1x8) | Top Image Neptune (SS)
I have no experience trying Athena. Shopping for a bike in 1992 the seller told be that a marked difference could be noticed between the Athena and Chorus moreso than between Record and Chorus. I went for DuraAce. for what that's worth.
If I came upon a bike that I liked, its having Athena would not disway me. The slightly less sharp performance as noted , more in the rear der. than any other single place could be addressed by an '88 or so Record which are easy to find and not high priced. Those I've used on other things. The cranks, brakes as far as wt. and stiffness were not viewed as being significantly inferior, regarding Athena back then. At the time, most had a fairly good impression of it, priced ever so slightly less than Ultegra and were often viewed to be more appealing on Italian bikes.
I have two Athena cranksets with the specified Athena Pedals. Interestingly enough, Campy required the pedal threaded shaft be a minimum of 15mm. Longer than other Campy pedals.
They are top notch pieces. The cranksets are very beautiful and the pedals are incredibly SMOOTH!! I'd go with them any time I needed a crankset. Right up there with Record.
BTW, they take a 111mm bb. Veloce AC-H or others fit the bill. There are even servicable Campy BBs in the 111mm variety.

Here are some pics of my Athena crankset (53-39) on my Raleigh Comp GS. Also, a pic of the Athena pedals. I used the Veloce AC-H (alloy cups, hollow spindle) version of the 111mm bb.
I never owned Athena but sold and service several bikes with it. as the other responders said other then the Synchro it was fabulous stuff. the brakes were pretty massive for sidepulls and stopped well. I always prefered the look and more moderate power of the Chorus brakes though. run the Synchro in friction or look for the retro friction shifters from simplex or Campi and you will be very happy with Athena

Doing The Baghdad Boogie
Voice Cried Softly
12:00 A.M. To 2:00 A.M. Thursdays
KFAI-FM (90.3 Minneapolis; 106.7 St. Paul)
Party Of One
Caught the Blast
If you've ever toiled as a courier, a taxi driver, a pizza deliveryman, or a tramp, you've probably wandered into the nether regions of the FM dial. It is here, in the domain of community radio, that the genres shift abruptly and the DJs often sound as though they were pulled in off the street. Especially in the wee hours, the most frequently asked question is, "What the hell are we listening to?"
KFAI-FM (90.3 Minneapolis; 106.7 St. Paul) touts itself as "a different radio station every hour." In the early hours of Friday morning, it might as well be a different station every five minutes. That's when Icelandic rap shares the bill with boozy jug music from the '70s. Running from midnight to 2:00 a.m. each week, Voice Cried Softly is a hodgepodge of psychedelia, punk rock, and utter weirdness hosted by a DJ who identifies himself only as "Eric." The name he uses in his band, Party of One, is Eric Fifteen.
VCS seems determined to keep its audience off-balance. The show's tag line says it best: "Your lonely psychotic revolution now has a soundtrack." The words "lonely" and "psychotic" seem only too apt: The DJ's milieu is by nature one of solitude, and the show's disjointed patter suggests that reality itself has been forsaken.
One Thursday in the middle of winter, I make a midnight visit to KFAI's studios, which occupy a handsome brick building on Minneapolis's West Bank. As I park nearby, vintage Pink Floyd is pouring from the dashboard: Voice Cried Softly has begun. Eric buzzes me into the building and greets me on the third floor. The studio is nicely appointed, not at all the rag-and-bone affair I'd been expecting. A broad tabletop sweeps around the DJ's chair in the shape of a boomerang. At its center is a mixing console and an expensive microphone suspended from a boom. To the right are CD decks, a pair of cassette machines, and two turntables. Thousands of CDs line an entire wall. These will go ignored for the next two hours as the DJ mines his private collection instead.
Listening to Voice Cried Softly over the years, I'd always pictured Eric as a lanky, disheveled guy in a flannel shirt--sort of like Thurston Moore without the trust fund. In fact, he is slight of build and neatly dressed, and he hardly looks to be in his mid-20s. After a brief comment ca va, he digs into a nylon gym bag full of CDs. In less than 40 seconds he will have to speak on the air and he doesn't have any music cued up. In fact, he doesn't appear to have any particular disc in mind. There is no computer-generated playlist at KFAI. Usually there is no playlist at all.
The clock reads 12:20 when Eric leans into the microphone. He whistles and makes spaceship sounds while an atmospheric track plays in the background. Long pauses and nasal laughter punctuate his delivery as he introduces the show and back-announces the selections. "That was Vapid...'Feeling Percussive'...Although their name is no longer Vapid. It's an ugly story, how they changed it and why...."
DJs are forced to work with a limited palette, their only two tools being sound and silence. Eric's long pauses remind me of Harry Shearer's on Le Show, and arise in equal part from comic timing and a loss for words.
"Basically," he explains off-mic, "my only goal is to finish a sentence. I learned to communicate by doing this show." His on-air spiels are often pocked with weird digressions. "Back in 1978, before I was born," he'll say, "I took a Popsicle stick and put it in a cereal box.... That's my little thing. If you'd like to tell me about your little thing, give me a call."
There are always a number of false starts and technical snafus during the show, despite the fact that Eric has been on the air since the mid-'90s. The scribbled set list--a work in progress--disappears. Eric starts the wrong CD deck. "I don't know what I'm on--I mean, what CD player I'm on," he says. As with several other vocations--figure skating, aviation--the wipeouts in live radio are more apparent than the successes. Eric turns the wipeouts to his advantage, mocking himself and others in the process. "I announced that song last week but didn't actually play it," he informs his audience. Circus music groans softly. "We all make mistakes.... Some people make more mistakes than others. Some of those people are leaders of our country."
At one point, Eric tries to explain his scattered state. Sort of. "I am sleep-deprived. [Pause] I was watching Smokey and the Bandit II the other night. [Pause] That has to be the only time Jackie Gleason drove a bus in his life. He probably didn't drive the bus at all. I'll bet you he had a bus double."
During the next set of music, Eric turns away from the mic and discusses the show's development. "I don't really listen to a lot of music," he confides. What he does listen to, chiefly, is KFAI. "This station is pretty amazing," he says, singling out the program that follows his own, Pop for the Unpopular. Its host, Patti Walsh, arrives early this week and drops into the studio. Later, Eric will return the favor, lingering well into the morning.
"Some people at the station have told me, 'Eric, you should be more professional, more mature on the air.'" the DJ says. (He was briefly suspended by station management a few years back.) "One week I disguised my voice and pretended I was a woman, thinking I'd get more calls." Eric estimates his audience to number in the low hundreds. "I got zero calls," he says.
Still, there are rules that must be followed. The FCC requires that all radio stations identify themselves near the top of every hour. Eric takes this directive seriously, and adds one of his own: "I never promote my own band on the air. That's my number-one rule. It's totally legal but it's in bad taste."
On the subject of debatably bad taste, Party of One's latest CD, Caught the Blast (released by Britain's FatCat label), is a brutal tour of human misery. The song titles alone suggest as much: "Belgrade Sends Its Regards," "Snap You Like a Twig," "Baghdad Boogie." Even the liner notes are larded with dark humor, stating, "No human rights were intentionally violated during production."
Eric tries to clarify. The album, he says, "is about genocide and atrocities--it's just disgusting--so people think it's political. Most of the questions I get are people asking, 'Is there anything you like?' Usually I like to record and let people figure it out. But it's fiction; it's not a representation of who I am."
On the Tuesday following my January KFAI visit, Party of One are to play their last local show before heading on tour for shows in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and the U.K. Lee's Liquor Bar--a roadhouse on the perimeter of Minneapolis's downtown--feels like an odd venue for a musical revue of torture and mass slaughter. Inside, the bar features a riot of décor: A stuffed swordfish hangs from the wall. Athletes and waterfowl are painted onto the faux-wood paneling. A collection of Elvis decanters looms over a doorway. In a distant corner, the neon Hamm's bear looks like he's been overserved: His huge white eyes leer crazily in separate directions. The lone bartender has little to do. Between drink orders he surveys the thin crowd and absently wipes the counter with a towel. He looks as if he'd like to close up now and have a few belts himself.
This send-off for Party of One sort of looks like a party for one. Though in its early years the band was largely a one-man show, the current lineup includes Terrica Kleinknecht on bass and Geoff McKusick on drums. The touring outfit onstage tonight has the Professor on bass, Mr. Bucket on drums, and Melissa Skluzacek on guitar. "Thirty Links of Chain" plays on the Lee's jukebox as the band sets up. Bustling about is a woman in a red down coat. Her face is drawn, suggesting hard miles. She's smoking vigorously, muttering, and hooting to no one in particular. She's easily the most excited person in the room. She removes her coat, then a sweatshirt, dancing all the while. Then they turn off the jukebox.
Moments later, without fanfare, Party of One segue from their warm-up routine into their opening number. The song features Eric's broken falsetto, a couple of dropped beats, and a sound mix that is not quite right. It seems that Eric is no smoother with his amplifier and effects than with the console at KFAI. The smoking dancer is alone on the floor, gamely trying to decipher the beat. The song ends uncertainly, and the band exchanges shrugs and smiles to a ripple of applause. They seem unfazed by the meager turnout.
So it goes for the first few songs as the band finds its footing. Twenty minutes in, they've hit full stride. "Nail Me to the Wall" is the show's highlight. It could be about crucifixion or lepidoptery--or both. Traces of Killing Joke and the Stooges are apparent enough, yet the song spills into uncharted genres, and the band seems to sense that they're on to something. Bass and drums throb insistently as Eric wails, "You can count on me, I'm so helpless and free." The smoking dancer is now down to her brassiere, her eyes shut in oblivion as she gyrates to the whole gorgeous mess.
Suddenly, Eric unloads a ridiculous solo. Bent over his guitar, he toys with the song's melody for a few measures before stomping on his fuzzbox. A tortured squall slowly gives way to the theme from "Greensleeves." The guitar solo is Party of One and Voice Cried Softly in a nutshell: witty and ramshackle, yet somehow bordering on brilliant. And, true to form, there's almost no one around to take notice.

Beginning today, Dr Vivakeanand Bridgemohan takes the helm at St Joseph Mercy Hospital (SJMH) as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The decision was made during the hospital's last board meeting and, according to a release, Bridgemohan will also continue to function as SJMH's medical director, a position he has held since January 1, 2014.
Bridgemohan has been employed at the hospital since August 2012, two years after earning his medical degree from the Latin American School of Medicine in Cuba. The doctor had also held the position of medical superintendent at the West Demerara Regional Hospital along with other administrative roles. "Dr Bridgemohan has a passion for serving humanity and this is reflected in the work he has done in Guyana," the release said.
In addition, Associate Administrator Helen Browman, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO), a position which the board said was newly created.

Liverpool and Arsenal on alert as Barcelona star Cristian Tello stalls on new contract
LIVERPOOL and Arsenal are both scrambling to land Barcelona starlet Cristian Tello.
Barcelona's offer of a new three-year deal remains unsigned
Tello is out of contract at the end of this season, meaning that he is free to negotiate a free transfer to other clubs in January.
Although Barca are still keen on retaining the Spanish youth international, their offer of a new three-year deal remains unsigned.
According to El Mundo Deportivo, the stumbling block is a dispute over the buyout clause in the new contract.
Currently, Tello is allowed to talk to clubs if they offer Barca £8million.
Despite being favoured by boss Tito Vilanova this season, Tello is wary of having too prohibitive a price put on his head should he want to move away at a later date.
With rumours of Barca's interest in Santos phenomenon Neymar still circling, the talented forward knows he could soon be out of favour at the Catalan giants.

Six Degrees
by Duncan J Watts
29 used & new
4.0 out of 5 stars
six degrees?
Feb. 14 2004
This review is from:
Six Degrees (Hardcover)
Six Degrees has been the only book that I¡ve been reading lately. It was the description of this book to me by a friend that caught my attention. Can I possibly be just 6 people away from any other person on the other side or the world? After I started reading it, the book sucked me right in, and I found this book quite different from other books in the same genera. Duncan J. Watts, the author of this book, unlike other specialists in their area who often take an absolute and definite view in their opinions, instead adapted a more humble attitude in his own works. He open questioned the possible flaws and mistakes in his own theories and opinions, in which I think granted the readers some space to think, and to better digest the contents of this book.
Duncan J. Watts gathered opinions and research results from different areas to develop his theories. Network, as Duncan himself had mentioned, is an area of science with much more yet to be discovered. I got to say, this is some hard science that this book is discussing. It covers materials all the way from the study of social structures, advanced math, to advanced physics, and much more. Also according to Duncan, the science of network could actually be more closely to our lives then we imagined. Diseases, social structure, and economy are all under the fields of network. There¡s no way that a regular high school student like me could get a complete hold of such a complex structure of materials. Yet, Duncan¡s explanations and thoughtful examples successfully illustrated a number of clear pictures in my minds and really helped me a lot in the understanding of his concepts.
I suggest everyone to read this book, even though one might not fully understand the book, it does give inspirations and provide new perspectives. I am glad that I read this book, it had an great impact upon my view of the world, and reminded how closely things could be related unexpectedly.

Lowndes County commissioners recently passed a new burning ordinance. It will limit the burning of yard debris to the first and third Saturday of every month.
Commissioners approved the new ordinance in response to residents who complained about all the smoke.
Chief Jim Fielding of Lowndes County Fire Rescue says, "I just want the citizens to know that we're working very diligently to give them a clean atmosphere and a clean environment that on most days they can go out in the back yard, have family activities without being hindered by smoke."
Right now officials are just warning residents about the new ordinance, but enforcement will begin November 1.

Will Smith honours 'respectable' Fresh Prince co-star
Will Smith has written a tribute to his former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air co-star James Avery, who played Uncle Phil on the hit US comedy.
Addressing the 68-year-old actor's death on New Year's Eve publicly for the first time, Smith wrote on Facebook: "Some of my greatest lessons in Acting, Living and being a respectable human being came through James Avery. Every young man needs an Uncle Phil. Rest in Peace."
He posted a 2011 picture of himself with the Fresh Prince cast, which he said showed the last time he and his TV uncle were together.
The show, which ran for six years and launched Smith's career, saw him playing wayward Will, a streetwise Philadelphia teen who moved in with his strait-laced Californian relatives to stay out of trouble.

GABF launches lucrative club tournament
In an effort to reignite the basketball flame, the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) on Friday launched what is billed to be the nation's biggest basketball tournament.
Dubbed "The Road to Mecca', the competition which was launched at Duke Lodge will see the premier clubs vying for the first prize of $800,000 when it bounces off on March 1 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
President of the federation, Nigel Hinds said at the launch that the event was the brainchild of Vice President, Michael Singh. He also disclosed that the GABF will be leaving no stone unturned in order to restore the hype for the sport.
Hinds encouraged the players and clubs to invite their friends and families in order to rebuild the fan base. The GABF head also urged the three sub-associations (Georgetown, Berbice and Linden) to throw their support behind the highly anticipated event.
The tournament features the top five seeded clubs from the three sub-associations and also a wildcard club in a round of 16 knockout format.
Trinity Grid Holdings Pacesetters, Colts, Pepsi Sonics, Ravens and Nets are the city based clubs according to seeding while Kings, Jets, Royals, Raiders and Bulls will represent the Mining Town of Linden. Berbice will be represented by Canje Knights, Smythfield Rockers, New Amsterdam Warriors, Fyrish Sharks and Rose Hall Town. The 16th (final spot) will be up for the taking in a wild card playoff involving the three sub-associations.
The second place club is set to pocket $200,000 while third place incentive is yet to be decided.
During Friday's launch, discipline and punctuality of the clubs were also discussed. Lugard Mohan, president of the Guyana Basketball Officials Council, was in attendance and stated that the council will ensure that the rules are enforced.
Before the launch got underway, there was a minute's silence for the late Trevor Rose who was a former president of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association. (Emmerson Campbell)

Oak Creek - A police investigation of two burglaries in the same apartment building led to the Feb. 15 arrest of an 18-year-old man who lives in the apartment complex.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
The investigation started when an apartment resident in the 100 block of East Field Stone Circle came home and discovered his Xbox gaming system and $350 worth of videogames had been stolen from his locked apartment between 7:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. Dec. 6.
On Feb. 14 police responded to the same apartment building after a resident reported more than $1,400 worth of electronics, including a flat-screen television, two gaming consoles, two hand-held gaming systems and numerous video games, had been stolen from his home between 7:45 a.m. and 3:40 p.m.
In both cases there were no signs of forced entry and no evidence was found at either apartment.
Officers questioned the 18-year-old tenant the next day after they found many of the stolen items in his apartment. He denied being involved in the burglaries and was arrested on two counts of possession of stolen property.

This Dog is Really Excited About Soccer and it's Hilarious [VIDEO]
Most people (and animals) I know don't get crazy excited over soccer but this dog proves there are some die hard fans out there.
Most people (and animals) I know don't get crazy excited over soccer but this dog proves there are some die hard fans out there.
Major League Soccer (MLS) has awarded a franchise to Minnesota! The official announcement was made this morning (March 25) at a press conference at Target Field in Minneapolis...
Today is day five at the World Cup soccer tournament in Brazil, but it will be day one for the American men as they will see their first action this afternoon against Ghana (5:00 PM CT, ESPN).
I think this coach is on to something that would benefit...
I have never been a Soccer fan and this might be the main reason why... flopping! These guys have it down to an art form and it's unfortunately part of the game...
We've heard of teams being named the Cyclones or the Tornadoes, but when a twister actually drops in the middle of a soccer game, you get some terrified parents and kids.
Last week, a Minnesota high school soccer match between Totino-Grace and Prairie Seeds Academy was supposed to decide who would move on in the State Class A tournament, but instead, the game was marred by an epic brawl.
On the brink of elimination, the U.S. women's soccer team needed collective resolve, not a Solo act.
Turns out it got both.
In what's being hailed as an all-time classic, the U.S. pulled off the unthinkable Sunday, rallying late to upend a highly-skilled Brazil squad to advance to the semifinals of the World Cup.

You're not just a systems administrator
In my younger days as an assistant network administrator, I would always be assisting my superior in retooling some part of the network. Upgrading or reinstalling a system here, rewiring a switch there. I always felt like we were doing these things for nothing. I mean, here we were working when we could be doing nothing, or even better, playing games on the LAN.
I always followed along, and gradually started doing it on my own, too. I learned the meaning of the old saying "a stitch in time saves nine". It's a good thing, because it wouldn't be too long before I was responsible for the network myself.
A year or so later, I was fixing something that broke, and an idea dawned on me. My role was more than running the network, it was actually being part of the network. Sure I administered it, built it out, and repaired it, but that's the point, really. By performing these actions, you cease to be a separate entity. You're part of the system.
When that occurred to me, I realized that my stated goal within the system was to provide homeostasis. A computer network is not a biological organism, and therefore cannot (yet) provide for it's own regulation. That's where we come in.
I don't make much distinction between systems and the network. Sure, in most places, there are systems administrators and network administrators. Sys admins fix operating systems, software installations, and computer hardware issues, and network administrators fix the parts that connect everyone together, but they're both part of the bigger picture.
The infrastructure is, for all intents and purposes, a non-biological entity. It can get sick, parts can fail, and it requires action to return to balance. We're the homeostasis. We're the part that corrects inbalances, and if the system is large and complex enough, we specialize into teams, each dedicated to keeping the entity living, breathing, and healthy.

Dell Blade Enclosure issues [updated]
As I write this, I'm on hold with Dell tech support.
It seems that my blade enclosure's DRAC card has somehow become detached from the Avocent KVM card. The general configuration screen shows the card, but none of the management interfaces are able to reach it.
Apparently there's a reconfiguration necessary through OpenManage, which I haven't set up yet, so we're installing it now on my XP VM. Hopefully this will reconnect the two feuding devices.
2 hours later, the problem has been resolved. I had to issue racadm commands from the serial console.
the lesson here is: If you're going to change the subnet your blade enclosure is on, change the KVM module's IP first, otherwise everything goes to hell.

"It [the State] has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men." ~ H.L. Mencken
One More Non-Tragedy
Submitted by Bradley Keyes on Fri, 2012-12-28 01:00
Not reported by the mainstream media...
"Another crazy gunman opened fire at a movie theater this weekend, this time as a crowd of happy filmgoers exited the building. Police think the shooter was angry at his girlfriend, who worked at a restaurant next door. The incident took place Sunday night at the Mayan Palace Theaters in San Antonio.
Why isn't this tragic event hitting the national press? Because it didn't end tragically."

AS THE milder mood of spring replaced the dour gray of the winter months, there was improvement in Stanton's health. He still felt it necessary to decline to serve as leading orator at a forthcoming Gettysburg memorial meeting, but he was pleased that he had been invited before Colfax, the Vice-President-elect. He summoned enough energy to appear before a congressional committee inquiring into wartime ordnance practices; out of this inquiry there emerged plentiful evidence from other witnesses that Stanton had wrought miracles of co-operation from manufacturers and given the Union troopers a flow of weapons greater than any army in the history of the world had known.
His obvious improvement in health and reappearance in public revived rumors that Stanton was due for recognition from Grant, now in the White House. Stanton had outspokenly criticized the trend of negotiations with England concerning American claims for damages done to Union shipping during the war by raiders built in British yards. Republican leaders saw this approach as an opportunity to sway Anglophobe Irish Americans away from their traditionally Democratic party allegiance, and began to tout Stanton as Grant's logical choice for the significant English mission.
But instead, the White House tendered him an unimportant scraping from the diplomatic barrel: an assignment to Mexico to deal with claims arising from wartime border depredations. This was less exalted a post than Buchanan had provided Stanton a decade before, when he was a relatively young, untried man. Since then Stanton had

Cheuvront Restaurant and Wine Bar, a Central Avenue fixture for 10 years until it closed last spring, is opening at Sky Harbor International Airport on Tuesday.
The restaurant from former state legislator Ken Cheuvront is before security in Terminal 4, which is home to US Airways and Southwest Airlines and accounts for more than 80 percent of the airport's passenger traffic.
The addition of Cheuvront is part of a dramatic airport restaurant makeover begun in 2012 and heavily focused on local restaurants. Cheuvront's restaurant neighbors in the pre-security shopping and dining corridor include Chelsea's Kitchen and Sauce.
A new food court will debut later this year. The Paradise Bakery pre-security location closed in early January to make room for the food court, which will include America's Taco Shop, Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles and Joe's Real BBQ.

I just did a metric century today (Tour de Poway) and about halfway through I got a headache. I thought it was my helmet at first because it ached where the straps touched my head. I loosened the straps and it didn't help. I had ridden many miles with this helmet with no problems so I couldn't understand why I was getting this headache. I did feel weak in general, but that might just have been because of the ride.
So I thought I might be dehydrated. I started drinking everything I had on me, but it didn't help. Then I thought perhaps I'm bonking, so I stopped and bought a coke and some trail mix at a CVS. Within a few gulps of the coke, I was feeling better. By the time I finished the 20oz coke, the headache was gone.
Was that a bonk?

Everything in Java is an object (as what is said). Then what are primitive data types?
closed as not a real question by Joachim Sauer, Caspar Kleijne, Tim Post♦ Mar 11 '11 at 6:55
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you read an official description of the Java language:
you will find that it says:
I've yet to find a strict, useful definition of what "pure OOP" means that people can agree on.
Lacking such a definition we can't really say if any language is pure OOP.
Regarding "Everything in Java is an object": that's simply not true. There are many things in Java that are not objects. Variables are not object (they are references), primitive values are not objects, methods are not objects (they don't have properties), ...
Primitive datatypes are those which are not objects :
(Well, not everything is an object, in Java)

The Real Reason Britney Spears and Jason Trawick Split? Professionally That Is.Sunny Chanel
Big news for Britney Spears land. Her boyfriend Jason Trawick was fired or quit. But he was just relieved of his day job as her manager. She is keeping him in the position of boyfriend – which is probably a full-time job in itself. So why did she give him the boot, professionally that is?
A rep told People that the two "have decided to end their professional relationship and focus on their personal relationship."
"They are very happy," a source said. "Things are really good with them."
But is there something else in play here?
Recently the two were spotted going to a doctor's office and when leaving Britney was visibly upset. Now, people generally don't leave a physician's appointment crying unless there was some bad or surprising news. Perhaps one of them has some health issues that they need to address, hence why Jason is leaving his day job. Or perhaps, just perhaps, there's a baby on the way – or working on making one is his new full-time job -and he'll be trading in tour schedules for tour schedules and press releases for diapers and bottles.
Regardless of the vague statement from the rep, you know there is something else going on. But I'm just wondering if she be added to the bump watch list anytime soon?

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question not listed here? Contact us!
What are UREC's hours during the week/weekend?
View our hours here.
When are UREC's busiest times?
UREC definitely has some busy times during the day, but by planning ahead, you can easily avoid the crowds. We usually start getting busy by the time that classes end in the afternoon (around 4 pm) and stay busy until about 8 pm. Generally, during the morning hours, around lunch time, and late in the evenings, fewer people are in the building, so those could be great time to fit in your workout!
How do I get started and who is eligible to participate at UREC?
Learn about UREC Access Policies.
I think I lost something at UREC. What can I do?
Visit the JMU Lost and Found online database and fill out the "Lost Item Form". We'll take it from there!
Are there any employment opportunities available at UREC?
Yes! Please visit our student employment page.
Why do students have to swipe out of UREC?
UREC is a controlled access facility. Authorized users must have a JACard to both enter and exit UREC. All participants who have entered through the Welcome Center should exit through the turnstiles to help us monitor participants in the building. In the case of an emergency, UREC would also be able to tell which participants still remained in the building.
Where should I park?
The primary parking options for students using UREC facilities are Commuter Convocation Center lots; Convo A, F and G Lots are available year-round for Commuter parking. Convo B and E Lots are available during the majority of the year, with the exception of basketball season, at which time signage will be placed indicating that Convo B and E Lots are no longer available for Commuter parking. Convo D Lot is currently a construction lot. In all Commuter lots, students must display a current, valid JMU parking permit to park. JMU Parking Services oversees all parking on campus, and questions or concerns should be directed to their office. We encourage UREC participants to carpool, take a bus, or get active and bike, walk or jog to UREC!
I've never worked out before. Where can I get some pointers?
We offer many forms of assistance to those who are either new to working out altogether, or for those who simply need to learn more about a specific machine or want to make an existing workout more effective. If you fall into any of those categories, take advantage of all the fitness options we offer. As a first time visitor, a Fitness Assistant, located in both Fitness I and II, can provide an equipment orientation or answer questions about individual machines or actions.
I love the outdoors! Does UREC offer any outdoor trips?
The UREC Adventure program offers plenty of outdoor, as well as indoor, adventures. Central to UREC is the 33-foot indoor climbing wall. From beginner to expert, ALL students, faculty, and staff can feel comfortable and safe climbing the wall. As far as outdoor adventure is concerned, UREC offers hiking, canoeing, backpacking, climbing, canoeing, biking, skiing and snowboarding trips throughout the year!
Are there any sport clubs, like baseball, that I can join?
UREC provides meeting and practice space for over 45 different sport clubs here on campus. As each sport club has its own season and president, the best way to get in contact or find more information about a sport club is to check our website. Each year, the Sport Clubs participate in Student Organization Night in the Fall. This is a great way to meet the members and learn about tryouts, dues, and more.
Why does the pool close from 9-11am and half an hour earlier than the building?
The pool closes from 9-11am in order for daily chemical maintenance. The pool closes before the building closes so that lifeguards can close the area and participants have time to shower, get dressed and exit the building before the building closes.
Is the TEAM Challenge high and low ropes course available for student organization use?
Yes! UREC's ropes course is available to student organizations, academic classes, student employee groups, faculty/staff groups, and non-JMU organizations as well. Contact Sasha Griffith for more information or schedule a group. Learn more!
How much do Group Exercise classes cost?
Students do not have to pay any additional fees to take weekly group exercise classes offered at UREC. These classes (and most of UREC programs) are funded by the Student Comprehensive Fee. Faculty and staff are welcome to participate in these classes as well!
How can I sign-up and pay for UREC programs and activities?
Learn how here!
How can I become a Group Exercise Instructor?
There is a prerequisite required first before being considered for hire. In order to be considered, UREC require all Group Exercise Instructors go through a 12-week prep course to learn the fundamentals of what it takes to teach a safe and effective class. The class will meet twice a week; days vary depending on semester. One day per week will be dedicated to lecture and the other day will be practice time in the studios. The course is limited to 20 students and begins the second week of classes each semester. Completing this course does not secure you a spot on the UREC Group Exercise staff.
How can I sign up for a Lifeguarding or First Aid course?
Our Aquatics and Safety program offers a variety of programs, such as First Aid and CPR, Lifeguarding clinics, Stroke clinics, and fun events like our Dive-In Movies. You can sign up for our programs online using a credit card or by visiting the UREC Program Registration desk using your FLEX account.
How do I reserve a racquetball court?
Please call the UREC Equipment Center at 540-568-8722. Reserve your court up to 24 hours in advance.
How do you rent camping or recreation equipment?
Our Equipment Center can handle your indoor and outdoor recreation needs! From canoes to sleeping bags, soccer balls, and wetsuits, all you need is a deposit on your FLEX account and you are ready to roll! Our Equipment Center also handles all in-house check-outs, such as towels, basketballs, or racquetball equipment, and all you need is your JACard.
When are Group Exercise rooms most available for organizational use?
The Group Exercise rooms are available for organizational use in the mornings and some afternoon times. Evenings are usually scheduled for Sport Clubs when Group Exercise classes are not scheduled. Learn more about reservations at UREC.

A waterfront property owner wants to build a Ferris wheel on Pier 57 to lure visitors during the coming disruption of the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement.
One business owner, worried about losing customers during construction of the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement, has an idea he hopes will draw people to Seattle's waterfront despite the disruption.
A Ferris wheel.
"We'll be disrupted for a period of time," said Hal Griffith, who owns Pier 57. "We need to have activities, people-oriented activities during that time to attract people here so we don't die on the waterfront."
The Ferris wheel, at 175 feet high — equivalent to a 17-story building — would be the second one of its size in the U.S. The first is in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Griffith's big wheel wouldn't come close to competing in the arena of giant Ferris wheels around the world. London's Eye is 443 feet high. Just for comparison, the Space Needle is 605 feet.
The ride would be customized to accommodate Seattle's sloppy weather: Gondolas on the Ferris wheel would be enclosed, Griffith says.
He couldn't say exactly how much the Ferris wheel will cost, but he knows it will be in the millions of dollars. He hopes to have it running in 18 months on the end of his pier.
"We were scratching out heads to come up with something to add momentum to the waterfront," said Griffith, who already has a merry-go-round at Pier 57. He said he's been thinking about a Ferris wheel for 30 years, and the viaduct replacement spurred him to action. "It's a big commitment, but we decided to do it," he said.
From the top, he said, riders will have a view of the Olympic Mountains, downtown Seattle and West Seattle.
His son, Kyle Griffith, is part of the family business. The younger Griffith said he went to San Francisco years ago after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. He wanted to learn how that city's waterfront was transformed after it demolished its Embarcadero freeway — San Francisco's version of the viaduct.
"The biggest thing we took away is we shouldn't make mistakes," Griffith said.
While the viaduct is being replaced in Seattle, parking will be lost under the existing viaduct and there will be debris and disruption.
"The context of the wheel project is to try not to have our waterfront die," he said. "We know it will be difficult for people to see us after construction starts. Hopefully we'll have it up and going before it gets to construction bad times. We think it's the perfect time to try to make it work."
Before the Griffiths can build their big wheel, they will need permits from the city.
Bryan Stevens, with the city's Department of Planning and Development, said a Ferris wheel would be allowed under the existing zoning in the area, but he said the Griffiths still need to go through an environmental and shoreline review. And the pier, at 1301 Alaskan Way, is a landmark, so it will also have to go through a landmark review, too. Typically, such permits take four to six months, Stevens said.
"We're excited," said Hal Griffith. "It will be a people pleaser, one more reason to come to Seattle as a tourist."

Hi everyone,
Please point me in a right direction.
I got a bug of building up a bike. Primarily because I see nothing in the local stores that fits my needs.
With all the bike and frame manufacturers how does one go about selecting a frame style and frame brand?
Briefly my needs:
I am a week-end rider, 20-30 miles at a time. I ride with my kid in the back baby seat.
I am 210lb and my daughter is about 25lb. I ride very fast and like to have a stiff responsive bike, not a wiggling contraption. I plan to ride with my daughter until she can ride by herself at my speed or we will get a tandem (probably till she weighs 50-55lb)
I currently ride a modified Univega Via Carizma touring bike. With my daughter in the back the bike is becoming to flexible and less controllable for my taste. The front fork is excessively flexing during braking and other dynamic problems.
Thanks in advance, Igor

There's a lot of great TV coming over the next year—you can see our list of The 20 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2014—but one we're still kinda not certain on is Robert Rodriguez's "From Dusk Till Dawn." Yep, the director's little grindhouse flick is now a television show. And while we'd like to give you the plot of the series in a convenient digestible logline, it's so bonkers, you're just going to have to read this official synopsis:
Based on the thrill-ride film, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist leaves several people dead. While on the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former pastor Jacob Fuller (Patrick) and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone and expands the storyline of the film, adds new characters and backstories, and explores the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.
Yeah, we're not sure that a plot that probably works best in a zany movie that runs less than two hours will still have that edge when stretched to across an entire season of programming. But what do we know. And indeed, Rodriguez and the El Rey network are feeling confident enough, that they are going to show off pilot episode at SXSW in March.
Anyway, the full length trailer is here to give you a sense of what's coming, and it's pure pulp, so at least it's not pretending to be something it's not. Starring D.J. Cotrona, Zane Holtz, Jesse Garcia, Eiza González, Wilmer Valderrama, Adrianne Palicki, Jake Busey, Don Johnson, Madison Davenport, Brandon Soo Hoo, Robert Patrick and Lane Garrison, "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" kicks off on March 11th at 9 PM. Watch below.
