text: In October 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (Division A of Public Law 110-343) established the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to enable the Department of the Treasury to promote stability in financial markets through the purchase and guarantee of "troubled assets." Section 202 of that legislation requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to submit semiannual reports on the costs of the Treasury's purchases and guarantees of troubled assets. The law also requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to prepare an assessment of each OMB report within 45 days of its issuance. That assessment must discuss three elements:

Estonia Travel guide
Estonia : Michelin's recommendations
Luxuriant forests, long beaches with white sand, radiant flora, and untamed fauna that has only survived here: that's Estonia, the smallest of the Baltic states, as well as the most maritime with its 3,800 km of coastline and 1,500 islands. Separated on the east from Russia by huge Lake Peipus, Estonia (50 % of which is forest land) is bordered on the south by Latvia.
Tallinn, the northern city that is the capital of the country, is a beautiful nature-loving town full of high spirits. Only a few sad-looking warehouses and decrepit buildings on its outskirts remain from the Soviet era - so as not to forget. Estonia was annexed by the USSR in 1949, took steps toward freedom during the "singing revolution" in 1988, and finally gained independence on 20 August 1991.
People all over the country are true nature-worshippers, a legacy from their pagan ancestors. Estonians really enjoy and respect nature, whether they're out gathering mushrooms and wild berries or strolling arm in arm through the woods in search of flowering ferns. This is a land full of country houses, mills and cranberries.
But suddenly I'm seized with doubt. Is Estonia wallowing in the past and a backward-looking cult of nature? Not to fast! The atavistic rural bond is strong, but the population is mainly urban; and although they are attached to the values of their forefathers, they have a pronounced inclination toward the technologies of today. The country values its traditional past while embracing modernity with gusto. Estonia: somewhere between choral music and rock and roll!

I seldom see Caffarel chocolate "in the wild" as so to speak, which means it's very hard for me to find in stores around where I live. I really only ever get to taste their products when I attend trade shows where I can chat with the company and taste a few samples. Everything I've had, which have been little gianduja filled nuggets usually, have been luscious and made me want more. On a recent trip to California, I took a trip to a Cost Plus World Market where I saw this Caffarel Milk Chocolate on the shelf. Realizing what a rare find this was, I grabbed one and tasted it as soon as I could take a proper photo of it once I was back home.
The packaging is simple and elegant in design. Using that lovely sky blue accented with gold and the color scheme. The chocolate is a nice milky brown color and well formed. It has no gloss, as milk chocolate usually lacks. It has a nice break and is very clean.
The flavor is very creamy and a little nutty. It's sweet, mild and reminds me of Nutella. I don't get much of a chocolate flavor though, which I find disappointing. The mouth feel is very rich and very thick on the tongue.
I feel that without the addition of hazelnut or more cocoa solids here, that it's rather bland for my tastes. It's a good chocolate to combine with other elements, but alone it's nothing special in my book.

Requirements for Expert Handlers, version 0.1
last modified: November 17, 2008
This document does not yet have official standing within or without the Open A11y Workgroup or the Expert Handlers SIG. It is merely and attempt to foster technical discussion of requirements for Expert Handlers, ATs, generic event handlers, and applications/user agents.
This document is in wiki form precisely to provide prospective users and developers of this technology to check for and correct any (implicit or explicit) biases, misrepresentations or omissions of important aspects of their specific application domain. If you have such observations, please let us know -- your feedback helps us create a specification that is as generally usable and implementable in a platform agnostic manner.
Currently, the contents of this document reflect the opinions and predilections of the document's initial author, Gregory J. Rosmaita, and were last updated on 17 November 2008.

Introduction to Expert Handlers
The purpose and responsibility of accessibility interfaces, such as ATK/AT-SPI, Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and IAccessible2 (IA2), is to provide assistive technology (AT) with the ability to access and interact with the information contained in an application. This allows an AT to access the information in the application's DOM. Interpreting, displaying, and navigating the information is the responsibility of the AT.
The success of the web and the increasing use of XML in documents has lead AT to develop support for these markup based applications. Therefore, we must distinguish between two classes of markup in order to explain the need for expert handler technology. The type of markup most often used on the web is HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.0. HTML is an example of generalized markup that is well handled by AT and is not addressed in this document further. However, it is significant to note that even generalized markup must sometimes be complimented by markup specifications, such as ARIA, that facilitate more semantically precise content handling where none is present.
Generalized content markup is complimented by markup specifications that facilitate more semantically precise content markup. Examples of specialized, semantically precise markup include MathML and MusicXML. In order for users of AT to access specialized markup effectively, AT needs guidance to communicate the content of the specialized markup language to the user.
The Expert Handlers SIG of the Open Accessibility Workgroup at The Linux Foundation, is exploring a standardized plug-in mechanism to AT software. The goal of this plug-in standard is to allow AT software to take advantage of expert software that understands specialized markup. This plug-in standard will allow the expert software to provide enhanced, semantically rich access to specialized markup, so that the AT can properly render the markup visually, aurally, and/or tactilely. The plug-in would also help users navigate the semantic meaning encoded in the specialized markup.
The Expert Handlers SIG's initial work consists of three main steps, which will lay the foundation for the development of a technical specification for an Expert Handler. First, the Expert Handlers SIG carefully outlined, peer-reviewed cases the where an Expert Handler would be used to provide input/output (read/write) access to Specialized Markup Languages. This led to the drafting and release of Unified Use Cases for Expert Handlers, 1.0). Second, the Expert Handlers SIG decided to describe what these use case scenarios require from a each component of the technological solution and a proper delineation of responsibility for conveying and converting specially marked-up information: a Requirements document (this document); ultimately leading to a Roadmap for Implementation document. Given the strong commitment by many of the Expert Handlers SIG's members to define a framework for Expert Handlers for Assistive Technologies, precedence has been given to the careful execution of the first steps, so as to form a solid basis for the eventual Expert Handlers standard.
What Needs to Be Provided by AT
- robust unicode awareness (include most common symbols for math and other glyphs such as degree signs, etc.); such an "awareness" will be necessary for use with the CSS3-Speech module's rules on pronunciation
- means of extending symbol set for each supported natural language for screen reader X.
- means of extending symbol set for each supported braille table
- means of inputting symbol set for each supported natural language (for example, a user might speak the command: "square root", to have
U+221apassed through to the application being used to render the content)
- ARIA-aware
What is Needed on the Handler Side
- DOM Event monitoring (XML Events, javascript events, etc.)
What is Needed on the Expert Handler Side
- support for:
- EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation Markup Language
What is Needed by the Application/User Agent-Editor
- XQuery capable
- ARIA-aware

VOLOS, Greece -- The USA Women's Junior National Team completed group play 3-0 and earned a bye into the quarterfinals of the FINA Junior World Championships with a 12-5 defeat of New Zealand. Ashley Grossman scored a game high six goals while Jillian Yocum and Ashleigh Johnson combined for nine saves in net in the victory.
Team USA will be back in action on Friday at 7:45 a.m. (PT) when they take on the winner of the Hungary/Ukraine match taking place on Thursday. A full tournament schedule can be found by clicking here.
Five Bruins are on the team including incoming freshman Mackenzie Barr, sophomores Kodi Hill, Fattal and Alys Williams and junior Emily Donohoe.
The United States got off to a strong start with a goal from Kiley Neushul in the first 20 seconds of the match for a 1-0 lead. New Zealand answered with a goal two minutes later to even the game at 1-1. Team USA responded with two straight goals from Grossman and Eike Daube for a 3-1 lead. New Zealand drew to within 3-2 with a goal with less than a minute to play. Monica Vavic would have the last word in the period, finding the net with just one second remaining for a 4-2 lead heading into the second.
New Zealand battled back early in the second period, scoring two straight to tie the match at 4-4 with 5:42 to play. But then Grossman got hot and ripped off four straight goals in a span of nearly three minutes, to give the U.S. an 8-4 lead with 1:51 to play in the first half. New Zealand would never recover from Grossman's outburst despite adding a goal late in the half to trail 8-5 at halftime.
The second half belonged to the United States' defense as it shutout New Zealand over the remaining two periods. Williams and Neushul provided the scoring for Team USA in the third period as the Americans held a 10-5 lead through three periods.
Three minutes into the fourth period, Grossman added her final goal for an 11-5 advantage. Then Neushul finished things off with a tally late in the match to complete her hat trick and deliver the 12-5 final score.
Team USA was 2-for-3 on power plays but 0-for-2 on penalty shots. New Zealand was 0-for-5 on power plays and 1-for-2 on penalty shots.
"New Zealand played us extremely tough throughout the match," said USA Head Coach Dan Klatt. "It was good preparation for the remaining games."

The Other Pollinators (page 4 of 6)
by Amy Bartlett Wright
Leafcutter Bee (Megachile)
The squash bee isn't the only one with dining preferences. The most famous member of this large and diverse species is the alfalfa leafcutter bee, M. rotundata, which was introduced from Eurasia to pollinate alfalfa. Leafcutter bees prefer legume blossoms, and collects pollen on a brush of hairs called a scopa, on the underside of its abdomen, rather than on leg hairs.
More than 140 species of leafcutter bees are found throughout North America. Many nest in wood cavities, such as holes left in logs and branches by insects or birds. Some species nest in soil. Females cut circular pieces out of leaves, using their sharp mandibles and bending their bodies downward as they rapidly cut. These bees use the leaf pieces to line their thimble-sized cell. A female leafcutter bee packs a protein-rich mixture of pollen and nectar into the cell and then lays an egg. The larva develops in the cell while feeding on the stored food and pupates over the winter inside the lined cell. The adult emerges in spring or summer at just the right time for pollinating.
Growers who provide this bee with a specially designed, open-roofed structure partly domesticate it. Beekeepers place these structures with machine-punched holes in boards to make it easy for the bees to nest. Keepers can remove cells containing eggs and store them in a climate-controlled environment until the bees are needed for pollination.
Mason bee (Osmia)
Mason, or orchard, bees are solitary bees of the same family as leafcutter bees. A female builds nest cells that are often lined with mud or pieces of flower petals or leaves; she places them singly or in cell groups inside a wooden cavity such as a hollow plant stem or old beetle-emergence hole in dead wood. Osmia ribifloris is found only from the Rockies to West Texas, but the habitat of other mason bees ranges throughout the continental United States to Costa Rica. To attract mason bees, you can make nesting areas with boards.
Sweat Bees (Halictidae family)
Though most species of this small bee, found throughout the continental United States, are black or brownish, some, such as Agapostemon femoratus, are bright metallic green. All species nest in the ground. Halictids have a range of nesting habits, from dispersed solitary nests to densely situated ones with individual bees sharing common entranceways to primitive social arrangements. Lateral tunnels end in a single cell. Halictid bees are common insects and good general pollinators.
This bee takes its name from its habit of landing on people to lick the salt from their skin. This bee will sting only if you swat at it. (However, you shouldn't swat at any bee.)
Alkali bee (Nomia melanderi)
This native western bee nests in moist alkaline soils near natural seeps and springs. Also a halictid bee, the alkali is easily recognized by its metallic green abdominal stripes. Western scientists and farmers attract this wild bee by building nest sites that simulate natural in-ground nests in alkaline soil. Although alkali bees are solitary, individuals nest near each other. This efficient bee is adept at pollinating alfalfa, clover, mint, onions, and celery.

Second suspect in checkpoint shooting in jail
Published: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 4:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 4:39 p.m.
One of the two men shot and facing charges after an SUV drove through a police checkpoint June 14 in Leland was released from the hospital Monday and is being held in the Brunswick County jail in lieu of more than $1 million bond, according to a news release from the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office.
Antoine Levar Graham, 32, is charged with 10 counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, 10 counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, flee/elude arrest with a motor vehicle, felony conspiracy, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the release from sheriff's office spokeswoman Emily Flax.
Sheriff John Ingram earlier said the SUV drove at deputies in a bid to escape the checkpoint, prompting officers to fire on the Lincoln Navigator.
The second man, Jerry Onasis Melvin, 42, is in the jail on eight counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, eight counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, and one count of felony conspiracy to elude.
The Brunswick and the New Hanover counties' sheriff's offices are conducting internal investigations into the incident and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation has been called on to conduct a separate investigation.

In addition, Chapman got permission to take two other of his groups, the Voodoo Orchestra and the La Onda Carebeña, which is a salsa band.
The challenge of taking 76 young musicians to the Big Apple is the price.
"Usually, when we tour internationally or nationally, we're get paid to perform, but in this case, we're just lucky to have received an invitation to perform in Carnegie Hall, let alone New York," Chapman told The Park Record. "The city has a lot of unique expenses and is a pretty pricey city to operate in."
The total tab is $300,000, Chapman said.
"Thanks to generous donations from the business community, we've already raised $100,000, but we still have a shortfall of money that we'd like to raise to get the musicians out there," Chapman said.
So, the musicians, themselves, are stepping up to raise the remaining balance, but instead of selling cookies and candy bars door-to-door, they are selling the new Crescent Super Band CD, "A Crescent Christmas," Chapman said.
The CD was recorded in September and features 10 tracks of well-known holiday songs including "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Sleigh Ride," "Jingle Bells," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and "Auld Lang Syne," to name a few.
"Some of these are done in arrangements that many people haven't heard before, but are fun to hear, and there are other less familiar tunes such as 'Cool Yule' and 'Boogie Woogie Santa Claus' that fit with the Super Band."
Chapman chose the songs and arrangements he thought would make a great CD that people would love to have, and showcase the strength of the band.
"I'd like to think we succeeded on those points," he said.
The CD features Park City and South Summit High School students including saxophonist Derrick Dymalski, bassist Brett Howard, trumpeter Tyler Webb, drummer Parker Swenson and percussionist Grady Tesch, who all play in the Super Band.
"I can't be more proud of it," Chapman said. "It's a fantastic record and the kids outdid themselves."
The CD wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for a local nonprofit organization called the Legacy Music Alliance.
"Its executive director Gaylen Rust approached us last spring after we got the invitation to New York, and he asked how we are planning to raise the funds to get there," Chapman said.
Since the Crescent Super Band usually isn't in a position to fundraise, because it is a professional group that gets paid for most of its appearances, Chapman wasn't sure what he was going to do.
"Gaylen asked if we would consider him helping us out, and proposed that Legacy Music Alliance fund a full-length Christmas album, recorded by the Super Band, which the musicians would sell instead of candy bars to help cover the tour cost."
Although Chapman agreed, he was a little skeptical about how quickly the musicians would be able to finish the CD.
"But sure enough they went in, and within three days, recorded all the songs," he said.
That was a feat, because the band had undergone some changes just before the recording sessions.
"We reaudition the band every year, because once musicians graduate high school, we age them out of the band," Chapman explained. "We held auditions in mid September and put the band together at the end of the month.
"In the meanwhile, we had to have the whole album finished recorded, mixed, mastered and packaged with the artwork by October 15, in order to have it out by Halloween, when the Christmas-music season begins."
"A Crescent Christmas" is now available at www.crescentsuperband.com or by contacting one of the young musicians in the Caleb Chapman Music program.
The musicians who are selling the CDs locally are Derrick Dymalski, Brett Howard, Tyler Webb, Marisa Wilde, Orville Clarke, Leo Peters, Jack Weinrauch, Will Schumacher and Peter Hanaman.
"CDs are $20, which is a little more than what is normally paid for a CD, but we want to get a decent amount of funds to the kids," Chapman said. "Furthermore, 100 percent of the sales of the discs will cover the musicians' tour costs, and we'll make sure the money donated by people in Summit County through the website will cover the expenses of the musicians from that area."
The deadline for the fundraising is March 1, 2013.
"We'll be in New York for about a week, and we will participate in some great performances and education opportunities," Chapman said. "We hope we can raise the money in time."

I'm curious to know how the names of African slaves in the US changed from that of traditional names used by their tribes eventually to their modern, (mostly Christian) names. In other words, how did something like Kunta Kinte become say, Kevin King? Was this "christianisation" mandated by their conversion to Christianity? Was it caused due to a disconnect from their native languages and cultures?
I'm kind of curious where you got this idea that USA slaves had Christianized African names. I've never heard it before, and it goes against just about everything I have heard about African-American slave names.
Certainly the first folks off the boat may have had their names Anglicised, but that's not that different from any other immigrant. For instance, I have a friend of Pakistani descent named Khurram who insists folks here call him "Kay". I have another friend from China whose name (the one time he showed it to me) looks like a big morass of H's, K's, and X's to me, who goes by "Hank".
Once here, slaves were just assigned names by their masters. Surnames were not used, as the important designator there was not any kind of family lineage. Who cares about a slave's family, when "families" could be split up on a whim? Instead, they were known by which white family owned them.
An important implication of this is that almost all surnames (from those descended patri-linearly from slaves) date from liberation or later. That often resulted in ex-slave families using the surname of their former master. Some didn't like the subservience that implied, and instead took on the last names of powerful ex-presidents, like Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson.

Multipurpose solutions are on the rise
A new face at the top:Although public works departments continue to retain architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms largely for road and water projects, nearly a third are now turning to those same firms for landscape architecture/park design. Source PUBLIC WORKS
South Florida Water Management District contributed $12.3 million toward buying the land, design, and construction of Freedom Park; the Florida Communities Trust provided $6 million for construction. Collier County property taxes funded the remaining $13.2 million. Photos: CH2M Hill
Early rebound:Use of AEC firms has rebounded slightly despite the continued decline in property and sales tax revenues. Source PUBLIC WORKS
Does your department plan on using an AEC firm within the next six months?"We're seeing that the decision to move forward [on projects] is contingent on getting matching funding," says Mark Bridgers, a principal at FMI Corp. Source PUBLIC WORKS
For which services did you use AEC firms in 2009?"We've developed an on-call list of consultants for smaller projects," says a respondent from a special district in the Rocky Mountains serves 100,001 to 250,000 people. Source PUBLIC WORKS
By: Michael Fielding and Stephanie Johnston
For the first time since 2005, when we began asking how your operations use consulting firms, "landscape architecture/park design" is one of the top five responses. That puts the category behind such stalwarts as road construction, surveying and mapping, pipeline construction, and water treatment.
In fact, the percentage of our readers who use architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms for this purpose has increased every year for the last three years, rising from 27% in 2008 to more than 30% in 2010.
We can think of at least three reasons for this trend.
"What's driving this trend are aesthetics and functionality," says Jim Bays, technology fellow for natural treatment systems in CH2M Hill's wastewater office, which designed the 50-acre Freedom Park in Naples, Fla.
Completed last October, the $32 million engineered wetland is the city's antidote to development-driven environmental degradation. Untreated stormwater from a subdivision was threatening to impair Naples Bay. Total maximum daily loads had been established for the Gordon River, which feeds the bay. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection required a 29% reduction in total nitrogen in the river.
The designers recommended treating runoff onsite rather than diverting it elsewhere. Now stormwater is routed to a pond before flowing to 15 acres of engineered wetlands that capture and convert ammonia and nitrates to nitrogen gas. The water then flows into a 15-acre restored natural cypress swamp forest and trickles into the Gordon River Basin.
"The city's desire to conserve land led to creating a water quality park to treat stormwater," Bays says of the project, which is home to a 2,500-square-foot educational facility with six lookout pavilions, water fountains, and walking trails. "We decided that since we were going to do something like this, let's at least make sure it's multifunctional, safe, and attractive."
Such developments not only provide public recreational opportunities and create wildlife and aquatic life habitat, but they also reduce maintenance costs by storing a large volume of runoff before treating and disbursing it.

John Wayne Airport on Wednesday unveiled the new Pre-Check program for select travelers approved to use a faster, easier security screening process.
Travelers approved by the Transportation Security Administration will go through a separate security line. They won't have to take off their shoes, belts or jackets or remove laptops or liquids for inspection.
John S. Pistole, TSA's administrator, said Orange County is the 35th U.S. airport to get Pre-Check, which he called a major step toward making travel easier.
"(Passengers) will be allowed to keep their light jackets or shoes on for the first time since the event of 9/11 and (shoe bomber) Richard Reid," Pistole said.
The program, however, is very limited. Only 500 John Wayne passengers have been approved– mostly premier frequent fliers with Alaska, American, Delta, United and U.S. Airways and others in the Global Entry program for international travelers.
In addition, even when travelers are approved for the Pre-Check program, they may not be allowed through the special security line.
On Wednesday, a TSA agent rejected three Pre-Check travelers in a row and sent them, without explanation, for a regular security check.
John Hemmingway of Villa Park began to walk toward the regular security line after being turned down by Pre-Check, telling his wife Carol, "I'll meet you there."
Then his wife, who was right behind him in the Pre-Check line, got rejected, too.
"This is ridiculous," Carol Hemmingway said. "It's the first time I've used it and for two of us to be excluded?"
Moments later, Patricia Barry, a traveler returning to her home in Dallas, got approved without a hitch.
"I use it all the time," she said. "(Traveling) is like it used to be before 9/11."
Travelers approved for the Global Entry program, which expedites security and customs for international travel, also can use Pre-Check, but with the same random selection.
Jan Hezzelwood a San Clemente travel consultant for Luxury Travel Network, has warned about the capriciousness of the Pre-Check and Global Entry programs after John Wayne announced the expedited security screening.
"Of the four domestic flights and two international flights I've flown since I have received this designation, only one time was I allowed to bypass the long lines," she said.
She said she always approaches the line with her liquids in a baggie and ready to comply with the regular security regulations in case she's not chosen.
Pistole said the agency hopes to expand the program next year to include other airlines.

Classic & Cute Halloween Party (23 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Cats, bats and more are the theme of this super cute Halloween party! Sticking with classic colors such as black and orange, this Halloween patry is super cute, without the spook!
The centerpiece of the dessert table ~ simple vanilla cupcakes with orange frosting set atop a black crate we tied with orange "webbed" ribbon. We made ghosts on a stick (marshmallow "peep" ghosts on a lollipop stick) that we also added to the same type of black crate, only a smaller version. We used white popcorn boxes supplied by Party On! Designs and filled with orange cheddar cheese popcorn. Fun Favors sent the most adorable (and delish) decorated sugar cookies that fit with our theme and our drink was "bubbly brew" (green Gatorade) served in mason jars. Rubber spiders, a black candelabra and tissue pom pom garland completed the decor.
Our little guests were sent home with treat boxes from Pamela Smerker Designs filled with candy cordn and personalized Halloween tins from I Have A Favor we filled with candy and spider rings.
The kids had a great time and were definitely in the Halloween spirit! Happy Halloween!!

Last night's game
It was an ugly affair to watch, for both reasons.
Sure, we saw the return of Ronnie Brown, which gives some reason for optimism. But, the offensive line was just that - not opening up much and getting called for three penalties early on. Henne looked out of synch, which may be attributable to the rain. And Brandon Marshall was a non factor with two drops.
On defense, we saw Josh Freeman running over and around the starting defenders. He completed a couple of big passes over our "vaunted" secondary. Koa Misi showed that he belonged. And Jared Odrick showed flashes. And I guess that's about all you can hope for at this point.
As a fan, it was pretty much unwatchable. We missed a fair amount of the first quarter standing in the tunnel as it poured, and then were "treated to" a night of watching guys who will soon be playing in the arena league.
If there was one bright side, it was that the Bucs decided to go for it on a 4th and goal with about 6 1/2 minutes left. A field goal would have probably meant overtime; at least the game could end in regulation.
And speaking of that, several people around me were wholly unaware that a preseason game could go to overtime - they assumed it would end in a tie. It will go to OT, and I have to agree that makes NO SENSE. Knowing that, most coaches will play for a win, which I appreciate. Now why don't more of them do it in the regular season?
Anyway, to quote the Herald, it was not worth the wait. This was a game that fell completely flat...

Hey Dave. How about dwelling on some positive aspects of last night's game? Maybe the stellar play of Paul Soliai deserves a mention. You mention the goal line stand but not the athletic play of Nate Ness, which made it possible. John Jerry plays in his first game and does fairly well at it too, not a peep. None of those players will be in the arena league this year. Patrick Turner had a couple of nice catches and Tyler Thigpen took care of the ball pretty well and made some nice plays with his feet. He didn't throw a single interception either. You mention the secondary and the offensive line and slam them both wholesale with a throw away comment and offer nothing more. You really mailed this one in pal. No analysis and little positive to say makes for a poor read. So long as we are grading people out,"we saw the return of Ronnie Brown, which gives some reason for optimism. Koa Misi showed that he belonged. And Jared Odrick showed flashes." Take the players names out of what is between the quotation marks and you have 18 words of anything remotely good to say about the team. Even those eighteen words feel as though they are given begrudingly when seen in context. I realize wannabe know-it-all types who fancy themselves football pundits are a dime a dozen, as are their opinions. But really if you are going to put something in print, make some kind of credible effort. Did you take your game notes in crayon in the rain? The game was a whole lot more watchable than you are readable.
I'd like to thank Bee for taking the time to read my (lame) analysis - and write a comment. I've been doing this for 16 years now, and if there's one thing I've learned its that the first preseason game is essentially meaningless. Sure, I could talk about Soliai, Misi, Ness, and others. But, let's see what they look like next week.
There have been many players who looked great in the first preseason game, only to fall woefully behind over the next 3 weeks.
So, if you want to say I "mailed it in" so be it. Look at just about any writer and you'll see much of the same. The obvious exception are the writers who get paid to do it; they have to say something more.
And as for crayons in the rain, give me some credit! I was writing with a marker on my arm. LOL
....and that said, I am really afraid of the fact that our starters got run over on defense, and were unable to generate much offense on the whole. Here's to hoping that changes.

So, a decent number of people have said that Lupe's music lacks personally emotional communication;
And that this missing trait is what is holding him back as an artist.
What do you think? Agree or disagree?
What else do you think Lupe needs in order to rise to the next level?
What else is holding him back?
If you could give Lupe advice from a fan's stand point, what would you tell him?
Let's talk.

Just when you think humanity can't sink any lower, along comes this story.
One of Jerry Sandusky's alleged victims in the Penn State football scandal withdrew from high school in the middle of his senior year because the 17-year-old was being bullied reports Sara Ganim of The Patriot-News.
Officials at Central Mountain High School in Clinton County weren't providing guidance for fellow students, who were reacting badly about Joe Paterno's firing and blaming the 17-year-old, said Mike Gillum, the psychologist helping his family. Those officials were unavailable for comment this weekend.
- The Patriot-News
If you recall the grand jury report, Victim No. 1 was being allegedly sexually abused during frequent overnight stays at Sandusky's home. Victim 1 met Sandusky through his Second Mile charity organization when he was about 11 or 12-years-old. After several years of abuse, Victim 1 attempted to end contact with Sandusky when he started high school but his high school gave the retired Penn State coach full access to the teenager with unmonitored visits. A wrestling coach caught Victim 1 and Sandusky in a compromising position on school grounds and the assistant principal for his school ultimately banned Sandusky from school grounds upon learning the allegations.
It's beyond sad that this victim is being subjected to cruel behavior from his peers and being forced to drop out of school. How is it possible that there is more compassion for Joe Paterno than the alleged victim of sexual abuse?

Considering the field of competition—more than 400 vote-eligible resorts including such well-known ski areas as Vail, Aspen, Sun Valley and Whistler Blackcomb (B.C.)—it is, indeed, very creditable recognition.
Utah, in fact, placed four resorts in the top 20—Deer Valley (1), Park City Mountain Resort (6), Canyons (16) and Snowbird (20). Overall, nine of Utah's 14 resorts placed in the top 10 in 20 different voting categories.
Remember, now, this was voting done by skiers on their overall skiing experience last season.
For years Utah has claimed to have the "Greatest Snow On Earth." Voters worldwide agreed.
Powder and zippin' through the trees. (Photo: Dan Campbell/Ski Utah)When it came to the most important factor in skiing—snow—of the 10 positions open, Utah resorts were voted into six—Alta (1), Powder Mountain (3), Snowbird (4), Brighton (6), Solitude (7) and Deer Valley (10).
In yet another important area, skier access, Utah resorts hold seven of the 10 places. Again, remember, there are more than 400 eligible resorts spread across North America.
What makes this year's voting particularly important to Utah is that the process was changed to get a much broader voter base. In past years, the magazine sent out questionnaires via mail and e-mail to its readers along with the requirement that they voted only for those resorts skied within the previous two years. This year it not only involved readers, but opened voting to a much broader voting group worldwide on Facebook.
Which, says Emily Summers, communications manager at Deer Valley, "Left us wondering what would happen. Would our four-year run end? It was nice to see it didn't.''
Aprés at McHenry's Beach at Deer Valley. (Photo: Dan Campbell/Ski Utah)With respect to snow conditions, Utah received nearly 65 feet last winter.
And as far as accessibility, back in 2005 a team of four skiers, among them Nathan Rafferty, president of Ski Utah, skied 11 different resorts in a single day, all during daylight hours. A few years later Rafferty skied at 13 resorts in one day at a time when there were only 13 resorts open. Nowhere else in the world could something like this be possible. In some cases just getting to a resort takes a day.
It can also be noted that in the time it takes to have a good sit-down lunch, visiting skiers can leave from the Salt Lake International Airport and be skiing at one of 11 different resorts.
There are 11 resorts less than an hour from SLC International Airport. (Photo by: Bryan Rowe / Ski Utah)With respect to Deer Valley's rise to recognition, it should be noted that there were times in the beginning when good feelings were not so strong towards Utah's flagship resort. There were times, recalls Bob Wheaton, president and general manager, when skier numbers strongly suggested a need to downgrade goods and services. "But we never diverted from what it was we wanted to be,'' he says. Which was from the very start "to be a first-class resort.''
Utah resorts placed well in other categories, too.
Deer Valley was voted No. 1 in grooming, service, weather, on-mountain food, lodging and dining and No. 2 in lifts, access and family programs. Along with being No. 1 in snow conditions, Alta was also top dog in overall satisfaction, recognition as a skier's mountain and in a new category—character. Park City Mountain Resort was voted No. 1 as the best place to ski with kids. Snowbird was No. 2 in challenging terrain.
Greatest snow, indeed.

Our history
sapmea originated in South Australia in 1897 as a voluntary group; meeting as the first Permanent Committee of the British Medical Association. By 1928, that Committee had reconstituted to become the Postgraduate Committee in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Adelaide, with the University assuming responsibility for the Committee's administration, salaries and funding. In 1976, with the new Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders University Medical School open and operational, the Postgraduate Committee became incorporated as the South Australian Postgraduate Medical Education Association (sapmea). Foundation members of sapmea included nominees of the Minister of Health, the two Universities, the Medical Board of South Australia, and the Australian Medical Association (SA).
Some external funding was available to sapmea between 1976 and 1997 through the universities, the AMA (SA) and the Health Commission. Since then sapmea has worked to achieve revenues through the provision of conference management services, convening medical and educational meetings throughout Australia and in New Zealand.
In 1995 sapmea became the beneficiary of a bequest in the estate of Lorna Laffer, who had been a war-time nurse, benefactor, and friend of sapmea. In her Will she bequeathed a sizable proportion of her Estate for the advancement of sapmea's medical education initiatives. That generous gift continues to provide support for sapmea.
sapmea offers an extensive rural education program which provides much needed emergency, obstetric and other medical education face to face in rural locations. This ensures GPs, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals can attend, maximising the use of their valuable time within their community who rely on them.

We're the lemurs from Roos-N-More Zoo and there are four types of lemurs that live here. We have the Ring-Tailed Lemurs that LOVE to stink fight by rubbing scent on their tails and flicking them at each other or you! There are the Red-Fronted Brown Lemurs who love to be scratched through the fence. Two of them were actually rescued from a bad situation in a pet store and the other used to appear on tv with Jack Hanna! Then, there are the Red-Ruffed Lemurs who have the most awesome alarm call that sounds like a mixture of hooting, barking, and laughing all together. And finally, the youngest of the bunch is the Black and White Ruffed Lemur. The Ruffed Lemurs are the largest of all the lemurs and live at the tops of the trees!
All lemurs are from Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa and all are very endangered! Roos-N-More Zo actually holds special permits from the US Government that allows us to care for and breed these animals!

A sculpture of a horse has been placed on a piece of land close to the City Park skate park as part of a City Hall art-on-loan program.
Park City built three sculpture platforms as part of the program and will allow selected artists to put their works on them for 12-month periods. The Public Art Advisory Board oversees the program on behalf of the municipal government.
City Hall received three applications in what was its first request for ideas. The horse, named "Flaco" and created by an artist named James Burnes, was the only one selected. Burnes has studios in Santa Fe, N.M., and Weston, Mass. The sculpture is made of steel and cedar wood. It is located between the skate park and Park Avenue.
The piece was put in the location in the middle of November. The artist retains ownership.
Another platform is located approximately 12 feet from the horse sculpture while the other one sits in front of Miners Hospital.

The MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, located in Charlestown Massachusetts (5 minutes from Boston), offers a two-week program that will address the burgeoning collection of functional and structural brain imaging methods.
This program represents a substantial extension (in both time and content) of the Visiting Fellowship Program in Functional MRI that is held several times a year at the same Center. The present program will certainly include a great deal of content on Functional MRI, but that content will be part of a more integrated approach that includes the entire arsenal of techniques currently in use in Functional Brain Imaging.
The goal of this ambitious workshop is to demonstrate the ways in which a large variety of techniques are being applied to questions in human brain function. Participants will receive exposure to MRI, FMRI, DTI, DSI, MRS, PET, EEG, MEG, NIRS, DOT, TMS, and a variety of molecular and computational approaches to studying human brain function in vivo. There will also be some discussion of more invasive techniques such as implanted electrodes and direct cortical stimulation---tools that are used before and during surgery. To bring this heterogeneous collection of technologies together, a number of unifying themes (in both the lectures and the classroom/laboratory activities) will be used. Unifying themes will include mode of activation (blood-based, electrical, trauma/clinical), physiological underpinnings (from basic biophysics of the effects to molecular and energetic considerations), psychological (using all modalities on the same questions), and others. Activities will include design of a variety of experiments, exposure to a variety of software tools, tours and demonstrations of the techniques in action, and selected keynote lectures to exemplify particular experimental domains in which many of these techniques have been brought to bear on a specific problem.
The primary costs to participants will be travelling to the workshop and accommodations. The latter will be most convenient and economical at the Constitution Inn, right across the street from our building.
Applications are required and participation will be limited to approximately 24 attendees. Please send inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com and refer to the Multimodality Short Course.

Super excited about this new Sonic Boom Vol. 3 that our lady Maiya Norton has masterfully compiled for us this month. It includes some of our favorite jams from the last couple months, including a nice dose of music unlikely on folks' radars.
The buzz building Denitia and Sene are featured, the venerable Shafiq Husayn shares some love, Wondaland's newest artist Roman Gianarthur contributes his latest single, and MED's much loved "Burgundy Whip" with Blu and Jimetta Rose is yet another treat on this free release.
Then we've got artists like Ikaz doing a ridiculous flip of Frank Ocean's "Pyramids," Philly producer Aeon going in on the sultry Sade sampled "GoodbyeLove," and LIPS gives a totally huggable performance covering Frank Ocean's "Super Rich Kids."
Seravince, Stacy Epps, and Moonchild round out the offering with their sexy mood music, and Josiah Wise closes out Sonic Boom a la the echoey and layered modern chorus in "Gifts for Shitenno."

ZF-7455: $this->_redirect() behaves differently in test mode
In normal operation, $this->_redirect() exits after performing the redirect. This behaviour is disabled by controller test case via $redirector->setExit(false)--in test mode, the exit is not applied. The result of this is that actions that use _redirect() like a "return" or exit behave differently in test mode.
i.e. actions with the following pattern:
if ($some_condition) { $this->_redirect("foo"); }
if ($other_condition) { $this->_redirect("bar"); }
will always be redirected to "default" in test mode.
If this issue cannot be fixed, it would at least be helpful to place a warning in 22.214.171.124 saying that _redirect() must be followed by return in actions, otherwise the redirect assertion may not behave as expected.
It's best with both _redirect() and _forward() (as well as when using the redirector action helper) to call return():
return $this->_redirect(...);
return $this->_forward(...);
This will ensure that if the exit flag is disabled, the application will work in the same way.
I will add this verbiage to the manual.
Thanks. This seems like the best solution now that exit() has managed to get itself into the library. Looking at "dispatch()" in ControllerTestCase.php it looks like the other point of potentially different behavior is with the JSON helper, which also disables exit.
Added a section on testing and the redirect helper to the manual.
This workaround partly solves the issue and fails when action helpers are involved. If I redirect from an action helper in init or preDispatch, I want the action controller not to even call the action. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and the regular action logic like rendering happens as well.
The updated documentation is available at
for anyone who's interested.
I think the current text can be improved. At the moment it doesn't really explain, or distinguish between, the problem and the solution. There also doesn't appear to be any meaningful difference between the two "important" boxes and the non-boxed paragraph.
I would prefer something like the following:
There is a potential problem with combining controller testing if using the redirect helper. By default, the redirect helper performs an exit() after issuing the redirect header. This means that the line
will typically serve to terminate the script; once $this->_redirect(...) is executed, no statement appearing after the redirect within the action will be executed.
Since exit() also terminates PHPUnit, the testing harness disables this feature of _redirect(...), so that the test harness can continue to run. However, this means that--contrary to non-test mode--statements appearing after $this->_redirect(...) will be executed in test mode. This may result in unexpected behaviour.
To prevent this, you must ensure that you exit the action after performing a _redirect(...). The easiest way to ensure this is to preceded the call to $this->_redirect(...) with "return":
return $this->_redirect(...);
In summary, we recommend that
never appears in your action methods. Instead, you should always write:
return $this->_redirect(...);
But what should user do if he has the same rules for every action, e.g. public function preDispatch/init/or something like that() { $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance(); $role = ($auth->hasIdentity() && !empty($auth->getIdentity()->role)) ? $auth->getIdentity()->role : App_Roles::GUEST; $acl = Zend_Registry::get('acl'); if (!$acl->isAllowed($role, App_Resources::REQUIRED_LOGIN_PAGE)) { $this->_redirect('/error/denied'); } $this->_user = $auth->getIdentity(); } it works fine in application, but in testing mode action method is invoked and can throw error (due to undefined _user properties, or we should check it in every method). Does that mean it never will work in testable applications?
This has obviously not been fixed sufficiently.
I had an idea, we should investigate wheater its possible to replace the redirector helper in the controller testcase with an own implementation that behaves equally.
"Fixing" this really requires overhauls to the way the MVC workflow currently works; there's no way to return early from an action (or helper, or plugin, etc.) due to limitations in how PHP works. In plain and simple language, PHP is not an event-driven language, which makes it impossible to truly short-circuit execution.
The EventManager in ZF2 will help in solving this issue, but there will always be edge cases when it comes to redirection and getting the response returned early.

I was planning on buying a couple of these Power Functions motors but I couldn't find anything definitive about leJOS support for them. From what I can find, they don't have internal tachometers like the NXT motors, which I guess means they can't use the rotate() and rotateTo() Motor functions.
Can anyone confirm/deny that for me? Thanks.

The Smyrna mayor's seat and a seat on Smyrna Town Council will be up for a vote in the town election today, Monday, April 27.
The Smyrna election will be held at the Citizens' Hose Company firehouse at 103 W. Commerce Street. Polls will be open from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday.
In the race for the Smyrna mayor's seat, voters will have three choices. Mayor Pat Stombaugh, the incumbent, is seeking her second term. Gene Mullen and Bill Pressley are also running for the mayor's seat this year. In Smyrna, the mayor is elected for a term of two years.
Profiles of the candidates for mayor were printed in the April 15 Sun-Times newspaper.
An at-large council seat is also up for election this year. Bob Riddagh and Tony DeFeo are the two candidates for this three-year term. Profiles of these candidates were printed in the Sun-Times newspaper on April 8.
All eligible voters in Smyrna can cast votes for both of the seats in the election.
The District 3 council seat was also up for election this year, but incumbent Councilwoman Valerie White was unopposed in her re-election bid.

Wow... Thought he would have been the type of guy to show everyone wrong. This is the wrong move to pull, he hasn't even given it a shot. If he would have played a year or two and found out that it wasn't his passion, then he could move on.
What a waste. And I thought he would last longer than Fizer. Wishful thinking. At least he left ISU before he hopped on the crazy train.

this has to be the shortest NBA career ever
He really needs to think about how he is going to support a family. There are a lot of starving artists out there making music and busing tables to eat. Stick it out for a couple of seasons and make some money.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Walk away? Where's he going?
The ABA... or WNBA.
Who does he really think he is helping in the situation? Not Iowa State, not the Houston Rockets, and certainly not himself.

So frustrating.. I can't believe how quickly this fell apart.
