In two previous articles, John McDermott, director of the Jimi Hendrix catalogue, has talked about the recent mono reissues of Jimi Hendrix's albums. So what's next from the Hendrix archives? It's been reported that "People, Hell & Angels" could be the last album of Hendrix's unreleased studio material under the Experience Hendrix imprimatur, a process that began with the release of "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" in 1997.
"That record ["First Rays"] was kind of the best approximation of what Jimi was going to do," McDermott says. "Because the important thing you have to recognize, no one knows what he would have done. He could've changed his mind right up to the last minute and done all kinds of things. So all we can do is annotate it correctly, present it in a manner contextually where people understand it, and say 'Ah, okay. So this is how this song fits into the puzzle.'
"And I think with 'People Hell & Angels,' why we thought this would be an important kind of thematic record, was this was Hendrix working from outside the Experience, because that was also very much what was happening that time. Yes, he was keeping the Experience in its last version, with Billy [Cox] and Mitch [Mitchell]. But he was also open to the idea of working with Billy and Buddy [Miles], or working at the time with the Woodstock band, or with old friends, whether they're Lonnie Youngblood or the Allen twins. I think in many ways, this Jimi was emerging as a producer and serving the song. Not necessarily always having to present 'the band' as an entity. It was a bold step for somebody in '69 to think that way, because, particularly at that time, you were always trying to preserve the public identity of 'the act,' or the group if you will. And I think with Hendrix it was more about 'Hey this is the song, and to make the song or to create the song I hear in my head, it's gotta be with these guys.'"
But can this really be the last album of studio material?
"We don't have anything planned," says McDermott. "I can say we have found a tremendous amount of material over the years; many of the things on the Purple box set ["The Jimi Hendrix Experience," released in 2000] or even 'People, Hell & Angels' were things that weren't returned to the Hendrix family when they took over in '95. So if there was some remarkable music to come forward of course it would be an immediate consideration as to whether or not to share it with fans and make it part of the library."
Certainly more live releases can be expected ("There's some live projects we've been working on which will certainly be commercially released in the months ahead"), even as Experience Hendrix considers other projects.
"We created a plan a long time ago of what we needed to do," says McDermott. "We kind of mapped it out — 'First Rays' will be this, with the Purple box we're going to create this linear chronological overview of unreleased material, we want to present the Winterland concerts in a specific way, we wanted to do Monterey with a documentary. So we really look at all of the various projects and then figure out whether there's a significant anniversary, and also consult with the label as to what their feelings are. So it is a process. But in many ways it's really about figuring out when is the best time to be able to produce these things and then bring them to the marketplace."
All of which is good news for Hendrix fans hoping to be able to experience more from the Hendrix archives.

Rose Mary Chase was welcomed into heaven into the arms of the Lord on Feb. 1, 2012.
She left many memories of her kindness, generosity, caring and the unexpectedly sly humor she delivered with a twinkle in her warm brown eyes. In leaving she created a hollow spot on earth, especially with her family, around whom her life revolved.
She worked hard most of her life, for many years in building and real estate businesses started with her husband (whom she met on a blind date – when he took her home that night she told him he would marry her!), and at the same time helped him in his true calling, Christian ministry, until he was received into heaven. While they raised their family, she made each house they lived in more than just a house, but a real home. A home the children could come to even when they were grown, a home because she was the heart of it.
She was known for enjoying Football (the Cowboys), Baseball (St. Louis Cards), watching action movies starring her "boyfriends," Steven Segal and Jason Statham, reading mystery books from Earl Stanley Gardner, John Grisham, Ann Rule, and of course, the Bible. She was generous not only with her family, but also when she could with several charitable causes to assist people or animals in need. She always wanted to help more, and dreamed of winning the lottery to accomplish that.
However, she never did get that winning ticket, nor did she accomplish her dreams of writing a mystery-lawyer novel, drawing a comic strip (she was a wonderful artist as well as an accomplished pianist), or of flying to Hawaii one day "just for breakfast," but she did get her dream of living on the ocean.
It is no surprise that she was known for being a very sweet lady, for the light of the Lord's love shone brightly through her. As it says in Matthew 5:16, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Most of all she would want to share with others some of her beloved Bible verses in hopes that, if they haven't already, they too will want to join her in experiencing the love of God: John 3:15-16, "That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Romans 10:9, "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
So to all the many who always ask her family, "'How's Mom?" … Mom's doing great, she's walking streets of gold and laughing with Jesus – right where she deserves to be.
Submitted by the family.

Crysis 2
Kotaku - Crysis 2 Is Announced, Multi-Platform - PS3
EA's E3 2009 press conference is starting at 7am (Local AEST), should be more details about it in that. There are live streams of the conferences on most media websites, the streams on Gamespot seems to be coping the best with the high traffic. IGN (E3 stuff was yukky Silverlight only, and even then doesn't work), G4 (not responding at all) & GameTrailers (little less flakey) all seem to be strugling a lot.
Exhibit A... Kotaku - Crysis 2 Trailer Is Light On The Crysis 2 - crysis 2
The video linked at the above URL is a perfect example of something that sounds "cool" pre-production, but really the editors should have realised that it was 10 times too long, and showed everyone nothing. Not even cinematics, let alone gameplay. PS - don't waste your time watching it, just smile and nod with my rant, its for your own sake! :p
While I enjoyed Crysis it really was just an excuse to make a game to show off the engine, much like Far Cry before it. All of the Crytek games 'feel' and play the same. Hopefully this will not be the case with the sequel, but they are already ranting about the new CryEngine so I assume it will be all engine hype :(
I had a lot of fun with Crysis, although after the aliens appeared it got a little wierd.
I went through the whole alien ship with no ammo lol, ust meleeing because I ran out in almost no time... took FOREVER to trick the aliens into running around corners at me so I could smack'em around with str suit enabled.
So this is going to consoles, and you can read about why. Oh and don't forget to checkout your new suit while you're at it, and hey did I mention that you're replacing the jungle with New York City?
Crysis 2 on a console would make my eyes bleed after playing Crysis and Crysis Warhead at max settings on a PC. NYC ? Now there's a warzone ! :D
Surely not console exclusive ?

Washington, D.C.—The heart of a stronger America is a strong, vibrant and vocal federal workforce, the leader of the nation's largest independent union of federal employees told a large group of her union's members today. "When you strip away all the hyperbole you hear on the evening news, in Congress and on the campaign trail, it is all of you, your co-workers and colleagues, who are working for a stronger America, who are building up communities, protecting our resources and safeguarding our American way of life," said President Colleen M. Kelley of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU). The NTEU leader used her opening remarks at the union's annual legislative conference—"NTEU: Working for a Stronger America"—to stress that the most effective way to counter the relentless attacks on the federal workforce is for federal employees to take the message to the public that they are dedicated to the effective service of their nation. She was joined in addressing participants at the opening session of the three-day conference by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), a staunch supporter not only of federal employees, but of all working Americans. He strongly encouraged the NTEU members to "tell your story on Capitol Hill (and) explain to the American people" the work federal employees perform."The story is what you do for the middle class and how you make life better for everyone in our country," Sen. Brown said. Referring to the multiple anti-federal workers bills in Congress, he said "an assault on you is an assault on the middle class. So keep singing that tune, keep up your activism." Kelley reviewed some of the pending legislation, including measures targeting their pensions. "I am appalled," she said, "that some in this Congress would vote to break pension promises made to federal workers years ago, just as many become eligible for them." She took note of the fact that federal employees already are making a $60 billion contribution to deficit reduction efforts through a two-year pay freeze, and beginning in 2013, another $15 billion contribution from higher pension contributions made by newly-hired workers.President Kelley made a particular point of the willingness of some in Congress to continue seeking to slash federal pay and benefits while adamantly refusing to ask the wealthiest Americans or corporations that ship jobs oversees to contribute "one additional cent" to deficit reduction. The NTEU leader noted that even as the event began, federal employees around the nation were working to provide school children with healthy meals; striving to ensure that bank depositors can continue to believe in the safety and soundness of the nation's banking system; endeavoring to inspect sites involved in the processing of food imported into the U.S.; working tirelessly to protect our nation's borders; and much more. "I proudly add that all of these employees mentioned are NTEU members, doing phenomenal jobs in a very challenging environment," Kelley said. "Federal employees are the ones working for a stronger America. We are the ones working to build this country up, to serve its people, to protect and safeguard their lives and their futures—all of you in this room." NTEU members are gathered from across the country and across federal agencies for the event, which will feature a rally at noon tomorrow on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, and sessions with representatives and senators on a number of legislative issues. NTEU's priority legislative issues for the current session of Congress include fighting proposals to reduce the federal workforce; federal pay and retirement issues; the pressing need for adequate Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staffing; and the fact the government should find alternative savings—such as contractor reimbursement caps and limits on federal health plan Pharmacy Benefit Managers— before turning to federal workers for more sacrifice. In this election year, President Kelley reminded members of the importance of congressional races. "This is the beginning of a pivotal year for federal workers," she said, "a year where we confront the political challenges before us and stand strong for what we believe in and our value to this country," encouraging the members to channel their frustration into positive electoral actions. As the nation's largest independent union of federal employees, NTEU represents 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments.

Bishop Noonan of the Diocese of Orlando, in communion with the F.C.C.B. (Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops - the state/regional conference that works with the larger U.S.C.C.B.), has issued the following press release, asking Catholics to call their congressmen about social issues:
Catholic leaders from throughout the country are meeting in Washington, DC, February 2-5, 2014, for the Catholic Social Ministry Gathering. This year's meeting takes its inspiration from Pope Francis' vision of a "Church that is poor and for the poor".
On Tuesday, February 4, attendees from Florida will participate in Capitol Hill visits, during which our state delegation will advocate several issues with Florida's two U.S. Senators and members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Legislative priorities will include: supporting peaceful negotiated solutions in the Middle East; preserving funding for international assistance programs with a focus on hunger and humanitarian relief; addressing poverty in America and its profound effects on human life and dignity; and focusing on how eliminating federal funding for abortion, reforming immigration, and improving the criminal justice system allows for fuller human flourishing.
The Catholic Social Ministry Gathering is sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and 15 national Catholic partner organizations, including Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Catholic Charities USA, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Rural Life and the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities.
ACTION: You can help amplify these messages by adding your voice to the advocacy efforts of those visiting the U.S. Capitol on February 4. Send an email now to Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, and your member of the U.S. House of Representatives to reinforce the Church's message that Congress has a responsibility to ensure help for people living in poverty, both at home and abroad, and to promote peaceful solutions to conflict overseas.
Click the link below to log in and send your message:
The link above takes you to an FCCB page with a pre-filled form for sending the following letter to your Senators and Representative:
On February 4, Catholic leaders will be on Capitol Hill visiting with members of Congress and distributing information as part of the 2014 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering in Washington, DC.
I add my voice to those visiting the U.S. Capitol and ask that you work to:
- Promote peace in the Middle East by supporting negotiations with Iran and between Israel and Palestine.
- Commit to U.S. poverty-focused international assistance to promote human life and dignity, advance solidarity with poorer nations, and enhance human security in our world.
- Enact domestic policies that encourage family formation and stability, create decent jobs with just wages, ensure access to safe and affordable housing, and fight the scourge of hunger.
- Help people leaving prison to reintegrate back into their communities in healthy and productive ways.
- Pass comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship and expedites the reunification of families.
- Close loopholes in current law, so longstanding policy against federal abortion funding is permanent and government-wide.
In solidarity with Pope Francis, we seek to become "a Church that is poor and for the poor." We urge Congress to make the poor a priority both domestically and internationally, and to promote peace.
Although you must fill-in your email address and zip code in order to send the email, you also have the option of editing the body of the letter as well. So if you think that fighting against abortion should be a higher priority than the bishops' form letter would suggest (6th bullet item out of 6), you can move it to the top of the list. Additionally, if you would like to highlight what "encourage family formation and stability" really means (i.e., opposing so-called "gay marriage") or go into more details about what should and should not be part of comprehensive immigration reform (i.e., no blanket amnesty), you may do so as well.
Remember, our politicians need clear-cut direction from those who vote. When our bishops cannot provide that clarity, it falls on us to spell it out plainly. After all, as Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia said, "Bishops can't tell politicians what to do, but Catholic voters can!"

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- Arizona finally got to two-time USA Softball Player of the Year Danielle Lawrie at the best possible time and eliminated the third-seeded Huskies from the Women's College World Series with a 4-3 win Saturday afternoon.
With the victory, Arizona will move on to another elimination game with Hawai'i tonight at 8:30 p.m. CT. (6:30 p.m. Tucson time). The Wildcats defeated the Rainbow Wahine 8-3 on Feb. 27 in Palm Springs, Calif.
Washington committed three errors that led to three unearned runs. Lawrie (40-8) was charged with one run on six hits, but struck out 12 in her career-ending loss.
Kenzie Fowler (35-7) picked up her first WCWS win, striking out eight and allowing one earned run as well.
After being swept in the conference season series with the Huskies, Arizona (49-12) improved to 7-1 against UW (50-9) in the postseason.
Karissa Buchanan got the first Arizona hit in the third, after Lawrie had struck out seven of the first eight UA hitters. Brittany Lastrapes blooped a single into shallow right to move Buchanan to third, then she scored on Lauren Schutzler's infield single. K'Lee Arredondo hit a grounder that second baseman Amanda Fleischman couldn't corral, allowing Lastrapes to score from third. Stacie Chambers popped out to end the threat, but Arizona headed into the bottom half with a 2-0 lead.
An illegal pitch turned a groundout by Fleischman into a base hit, as she singled the next pitch up the middle. But after a sacrifice bunt, she was gunned down trying to score on a throw from Lastrapes after a Kimi Pohlman single.
Lawrie singled to leadoff the bottom of the fourth, then - after Fowler's fifth illegal pitch of the game that negated a double play - pinch runner Maggie Wagner scored on a Niki Williams single.
Buchanan drew a one-out walk in the fifth, then Schutzler forced UW's second error of the day with a two-out hard grounder back to Fleischman to keep the inning alive. Arredondo capitalized with an RBI-single to shallow left, giving UA a 3-1 lead.
Washington got one back in the sixth. Lawrie walked to lead things off, then Williams drew a one-out walk to put two on. Hooch Fagaly's high pop was caught by Buchanan in foul territory and Lawrie advanced to third, but Buchanan's throw to try to nab Williams at second went awry and into left field. Lawrie broke for home, but Lastrapes' throw was too high for Chambers to handle at the plate, allowing the senior Lawrie to cut the deficit to one. Fowler struck out Morgan Stuart swinging to end the inning.
Arizona picked up another two out rally in the seventh. Lastrapes reached on a bobbled ball by Husky third baseman Stuart with two outs. Schutzler hit an infield single to third, then Arredondo singled through the right side to score pinch runner Becca Tikey.
In the bottom half, Taylor Smith blooped a ball into centerfield that Schutzler dove for and missed, earning her a triple. Fowler put pinch hitter Bailey Stenson down on strikes, but Jenn Salling knocked in Smith with a sacrifice fly. Pohlman flew out to left to end the game.
ARIZONA HEAD COACH Mike Candrea
Opening comment:
"First of all, I just want to tip my hat to Washington and the great run that they have had. Being a conference foe, you obviously hate to have to face one another. It was a great day for the Wildcats. I think we finally got a chance to just play the game. Kenzie (Fowler) threw a heck of a ball game and we had some people really step up. We're kind of used to those games in conference play and I think for the first time in awhile our kids played the game a little relaxed and with a little more confidence. I am very proud of them."
On the controversial calls during the game:
"There were some interesting calls to say the least. I don't even want to go there. I've talked a lot about it. Our job is to correct things. We would just like a little more information before the College World Series, which is what I said the other day. I admire Kenzie (Fowler) for fighting through what she did. For a freshman with the composure she showed throughout the day against a very tough team -- it makes me really proud."
On Washington pitcher Danielle Lawrie:
"She's a very special athlete. On the mound, what makes her tough is that she has command of so many pitches. She has great location. Her speeds can get up in the high 60s, which makes it tough no matter what. I really believe what makes her so special is her off-speed drop. That's a very difficult pitch to pick up as a hitter and she throws with a lot of confidence. She's able to keep hitters off balance but she's also really good at locating pitches when she needs to. She's a competitor. If you've watched her career -- and I've seen it both internationally and where she is today -- she's a young lady that has a lot to be proud of for where she has come in this game. She's a special athlete and is very deserving of everything she has got."
On the team's preparation for Washington:
"We knew it was going to be a tough one. I told the kids that we had to make the ground our friend. You're not going to sit in there, swing away and expect to do much against (Lawrie). You have to make things happen. Karissa (Buchanan) really did get us going and you saw that the short game had a little effect. It's tough to win when you make three errors and it's tough to win, too, when you give people three and four and five opportunities at bat. We had some interesting situations where we had to reload again."
ARIZONA SENIOR SHORTSTOP K'Lee Arredondo
On the team's performance against Danielle Lawrie:
"I think we were all pretty confident. Karissa (Buchanan) got us going every time we scored. We put the ball in play and good things happened. We were in the game, our crowd was in the game. All around, it just got our juices going and we just wanted to score some runs."
On the team's mentality going into tonight's game against Hawai'i:
"I think that today's win for us was huge. I know our sophomore and junior class has never experienced a win at the College World Series. This was huge for them and it was huge for our entire team. We went 0-and-3 against Washington this whole year and for us to come out and beat them the way we did, it was a huge confidence boost. I think with pitching, defense, offense -- I really believe it's going to help us roll into tonight. We just have to put it all together again and come out swinging, playing defense, and hopefully Kenzie's on her game again and we're good."

NetBeans Module Development: Adding Dependencies
By pavel on Nën 06, 2005
I wish we had something like this for other project types. The code completion only shows classes that are already on classpath and if you want to use a different class you have to know where it is. Of course the trick used here is that the universe of possible libraries is known upfront, it's just the APIs of modules in the target NetBeans platform, so the dialog knows where to look for them. But I would be happy if this worked for the libraries, projects that are currently open and perhaps recently open projects.
Maybe it could even be more integrated into code completion. If the class is not found in completion instead of "No Suggestions" you would have get a "Look for the class in libraries" item... Maybe this is also an answer to Geertjan's comment: "I don't like [...] that you need to manually put the EJB on the web application's classpath."


text: Nov 28, 2012 17:30 Superfest 2013 draws top country performers Superfest 2013 draws top country performers Buy this photo Advocate staff photo by TRAVIS SPRADLING -- Quint Davis, left, producer/director of the Bayou Country Superfest, speaks as Mandy DeLong, marketing and press coordinator for Festival Productions Inc. New Orleans and Bayou Country Superfest, unveils the talent lineup for the 2013 Bayou Country Superfest at the Stadium Club North in LSU's Tiger Stadium on Tuesday. Lady Antebellum Band, Zac Brown Band, Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan headline the lineup. Advocate file photo by LIBBY ISENHOWER -- LSU Tiger Stadium fills up with country music fans in 2012 during the Eric Church concert at Bayou Country Superfest. An additional 9,000 seats were added on the field to house all the guests. Headliners for the 2013 Bayou Country Superfest are Lady Antebellum and the Zac Brown Band. The Superfest will be held on May 25-26 in LSU's Tiger Stadium. John wirt| Music writer Comments For its fourth Memorial Day weekend at LSU's Tiger Stadium, the 2013 Bayou Country Superfest will feature Lady Antebellum, the country trio that's sold millions of albums and won seven Grammy awards, and the Zac Brown Band, another immensely popular group with million-selling albums and many hit singles. Lady Antebellum tops the lineup May 25 and the Zac Brown Band headlines May 26. "When we were given the honor of bringing this festival to Baton Rouge and LSU," festival producer-director Quint Davis said during a Tuesday morning news conference at Tiger Stadium, "we had one simple goal: bring together the biggest stars in country music for the best show in America, the show that you can only see here in Baton Rouge at Tiger Stadium on Memorial Day weekend." Previous Bayou Country Superfest acts included Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean. Although Superfest acts are categorized as country music, their mainstream popularity often takes them to the top of the pop charts. The 2013 Superfest lineup also features Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, The Band Perry, Thompson Square, Rodney Atkins, Love and Theft and Frankie Ballard. "These acts are some of the biggest acts in American music, period," Davis said. Davis, wearing an elaborately decorated country-and-western shirt that was custom made in Nashville and made-in-Texas blue alligator boots bearing the images of the Louisiana State Capitol, the state bird — a pelican — and musical notes, unveiled the lineup in the presence of officials, including Mayor-President Melvin L. "Kip" Holden and Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne. "This is a tremendous event at a time when Baton Rouge was otherwise dormant," Dardenne said. "We're bringing people from all over the country and all over the world to Baton Rouge on Memorial Day weekend." Bayou Country Superfest, Holden said, has become the city's internationally known signature event. Paul Arrigo, president and CEO of Visit Baton Rouge, noted that local hotel occupancy during the weekend of the 2012 Bayou Country Superfest exceeded hotel occupancy during the recent LSU-Alabama football game. "We had a huge weekend in November because of this great football team," Arrigo said. "But from a hotel point of view, from a visitation point of view, Superfest surpassed that weekend." Following Superfest's inaugural year attendance of 85,000, festival attendance held steady at 75,000 in 2011 and 2012. "We set the bar high and every year we like to jump over that bar," said Davis, who also produces the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. "We look forward to keeping this tradition going, keeping this festival going for the long run now." Unlike Jazz Fest, which started in 1970 with attendance in the hundreds and built through decades to attendance in the hundreds of thousands, Davis believed Superfest had to begin with major-event ambition. "We felt like there wasn't time anymore to grow something from a little backyard thing," he said. "So the approach was to start it off as big as it can be. Jazz Fest now has some of the biggest stars, but Bayou Country Superfest, from year one, had Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney. It drew 85,000 people from 47 states. "That was the idea with Superfest, to roll the dice, a $6 million show," Davis added. "It succeeded beyond our wildest expectations." Reserve-seat Bayou Country Superfest tickets in two-day packages and reserve parking go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 6.

|Canadian Show Jumping Team Named for Wellington Nations' Cup
|| Print |
March 3, 2010 — Yann Candele of Caledon, ON, Mac Cone of King City, ON, Eric Lamaze of Schomberg, ON, and Beth Underhill of Schomberg, ON, will comprise the Canadian Show Jumping Team for the $75,000 FEI Nations' Cup, Presented by CN, held Friday evening, March 5, during the CSIO4* Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL.
Canadele, who made his Canadian Team debut last year on the winning Nations' Cup team in Wellington, will be aboard Pitareusa, a 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare owned by Susan Grange. Formerly a citizen of France, Candele has been officially riding as a Canadian since August of 2008.
Cone will ride Ole, a 14-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Larry Evoy and Sara Houstoun. Cone and Ole were members of Canada's silver medal team at the 2008 Olympic Games and are also the current Canadian Show Jumping Champions.
Olympic Champion Lamaze will ride Ronaldo, a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Ashland Stables. Lamaze currently stands fourth in the Federation Equestre International (FEI) Rolex World Rider Rankings.
Underhill will ride Top Gun, a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Iron Horse Farm. The pair was members of the Canadian Team for the $350,000 BMO Nations' Cup held at the 2009 Spruce Meadows "Masters" Tournament.
In addition to the four team members, Canada will also have two individual entries in the international division. Jonathon Millar of Perth, ON, will ride Contino 14, a 13-year-old Holsteiner gelding owned by Millar Brooke Farm, while Keean White of Cambridge, ON, will ride Celena Z, a 10-year-old Zangersheide mare owned by The Ashland Group and Angelstone Farms.
Canada is the defending champion in the $75,000 FEI Nations' Cup, Presented by CN, having won the event on four occasions — 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, more times than any other country. This year, Canada will take on teams from 10 other nations including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, United States and Venezuela.
"We have four very experienced riders and their horses are going very well, so we are in a good position to get a great result," said Terrance 'Torchy' Millar, chef d'équipe of the Canadian Show Jumping Team. "With 11 teams entered it won't be an easy night, but I think we will be in the hunt."
The two-round $75,000 FEI Nations' Cup, Presented by CN, will take place at night under the lights with FEI 'I' course designer Anthony D'Ambrosio of the United States setting the track. A Nations' Cup is the only competition in show jumping where riders, competing in teams of four, compete against other countries for top honours. The top three scores from each team are counted towards the final result of the two-round competition. Only the top eight teams from the first round will be invited back for round two.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Fresno State outside linebacker Ejiro Ederaine was named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week and tight end Marcel Jensen was named the Special Teams Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
This is the first MW weekly accolade for both Ederaine and Jensen.
Ederaine recorded a career-high 10 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, including two sacks as No. 18/16 Fresno State outlasted San Diego State 35-28 in overtime. His 4.5 tackles for loss equals the most in a single game in the nation this season. The last time a Fresno State player had 4.5 tackles for loss was Logan Harrell on Sept. 17, 2011 versus North Dakota.
With San Diego State trailing 21-14 at the 11:39 mark of the fourth quarter, and driving for a potential game-tying touchdown, Ederaine picked up an Aztec fumble at the SDSU 19-yard line and returned a fumble 78 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest fumble recovery for a score in school history.
Jensen made arguably the biggest play in Fresno State's win, which pushed its record up to 7-0 on the season. With the game tied at 28 and San Diego State attempting a 37-yard game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining in regulation, Jensen blocked the kick and forced overtime. It was the fourth career blocked field goal for Jensen, but the first since 2011.
Fresno State returns home this weekend to host Nevada in the Blackout Game on Saturday at Bulldog Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. PT.
"Catch the Wave" - 2013 Fresno State football tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

We're not one for buying into marketing slogans, but this one from Fever Tree got our attention: "If three-quarters of your drink is the mixer, make sure you use the best."
While the variety of gin has expanded in recent years (our favourites include Monkey 47, Tanqueray Ten, Sipsmith and Martin Miller), its main mixer – the humble tonic water – has remained in shockingly short supply.
Left with two (well, one really) option up until recently, the introduction of the artisanal style Fever Tree-range of tonic and mixers is long overdue.
Fever Tree is proof that not all tonics are created equal. The brand's tonic water and other products (see below) set the bar very, very high, with its use of artisanal ingredients: cinchona (the main ingredient to make quinine) from East Congo, lemon from Sicily, ginger from the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Cochin... the list is endless.
The brand's co-founder Tim Warrillow said: "No one had looked at the tonic water market, ingredients got lost along the way and no one was talking about the taste and flavour. Yet there's all these amazing spirits but no alternative mixers."
How good are the products? Renown Spanish chef Ferran Adria – a gin lover – made it into a dish at elBulli: soupa de Fever Tree tonica.
Not everyone can be Adria, but here are our recommendations on pairings for some of Fever Tree's products.
Premium Indian Tonic Water
Soft, gentle counterpart
Unlike other tonic waters in the market, its effervessence does not overwhelm the subtle flavours of the tonic or the gin. The natural quinine flavours are soft, allowing your choice of gin or vodka to blossom on your tongue. Good thing the formula works, because securing the quinine supply was hardly straightforward for Fever Tree. We won't go into it, but just know that it comes from a remote plantation in Congo and a rocket launcher was sighted.
Drink it with: Drink it alone, it's that good. See if you can taste the hints of Tanzanian bitter orange or coriander. If you do pair it with an alcohol, try an infused spirit such as the Junipero Gin or Bakon Vodka.
Naturally Light Indian Tonic Water
A non-substitute that can stand on its own
To find a low calorie tonic (40 calories) is virtually impossible, to find one that doesn't leave behind an annoying cloying aftertaste? No guesses which is our favourite. The use of fruit sugars is a difference maker. Allow yourself time to breathe in the scent of this lightly, flowery tonic and appreciate that there's no sacchrine used.
Drink it with: Monkey 47 Gin. This high quality, complex gin with 47 botanics deserves a similarly perfect tonic that allows the botanics to breathe, come alive and taste its complexity.
Ginger Beer
Full-bodied, spicy drink
A blend of ginger from three areas – Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Cochin – that is extracted once the ginger is pulled from the ground and eventually brewed. The resulting flavour is natural, full bodied with just a hint of spice at the end.
Drink it with: Alone, if you want to sample the full citrus flavours. Or with a spicy dark rum where the intense ginger beer flavours neutralise the heaviness that is sometimes associated with rum-based drinks. A Dark & Stormy will always do the trick. We love that long after we've finished our drink, a subtle taste of ginger lingers on.
Soda Water
Clear, not salty
Neutral to the taste with just a mid-level efferversence, this is not too salty like some other soda waters we've taste. The reason is that the water comes from a fresh spring in Northern England where the carbonation process is of utmost importance.
Drink it with: For a real English drink, pair it with a Great King Street whisky and a slice of lemon. You really don't need more. The softness of the soda serves to enhance the robust whisky.
The Fever Tree range can be bought at Fine Spirits by La Maison du Whisky at $55 for 24 bottles of 200ml each.

Ellen Hopkins is known for her poetic verse novels, where she turns literary works of art into deeper, further evolved tapestries. If you've never read her novels before, you're in for a treat. Hopkins is more than a master of storytelling – she's a weaver of truth with authenticity and flare. Writing for both the adult and young adult market, her novels are crossovers, so when you're in the mood to curl up in front of the fire, no matter your age, Hopkins has a book for you.
Do you choose your stories or do they choose you?
I'd say it's a team effort. The ideas for stories often come to me from outside sources, especially readers. If enough people suggest the same story idea, I definitely consider it. But almost always the stories morph in the telling, and with the creation of characters, who absolutely have minds of their own.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? An author? Were the two synonymous?
I considered myself a writer as soon as I knew how to put words down on paper. I was one of those annoying kids who was always writing something. Poetry. Stories. Essays. I even loved those science reports we had to do. I kid you not, I'd start them early and make them waaaaay longer than I needed to. I considered myself an author with the publication of my first nonfiction book for kids. "Author" in my mind connotes books. Even when I was regularly publishing freelance magazine and newspaper articles I still thought of myself as a writer, not an author.
If you had to live inside one story for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why?
That's a very hard question. I mean, stories, at least good ones, require conflict, don't they? Is there a story lacking conflict? Maybe I'd settle in there. Then again, a total lack of conflict would mean a very boring life. Can't go too far back in time--I seriously wouldn't like living without certain amenities. Flush toilets, for instance. Can't go too far forward, either. No Dystopian nightmares for me! Maybe something with horses. A very cute cowboy. I've got it! BURNED, knowing what I know, which would let me change the ending.
What is the most important lack in your life?
No contest. Time. I could use a dozen more hours in every day and a dozen more days in every month. Just imagine all I could accomplish!
Reading is a subjective beast, and inevitably you can't please all the readers all the time. What has been the toughest criticism you've been given as an author. What has been the best compliment.
I've been accused, in roundabout ways, of being a hack because I'm so productive. But I know writers who produce way more than I do. That hurts because every word I put on a page is there for a specific reason. I'm deliberate. Precise. Truly, I wish I could give my readers more every year than I do. As for the best compliment, I hear it fairly regularly. "Your book literally saved my life." The thing is, that trumps any criticism. Attack my syntax, imagery, grammar. Whatever. There is power in what I write. You can't critique that.
Bonus round:
Chocolate or vanilla?
Dark chocolate.
Dogs or cats?
I have both, but if I had to pick one, dogs. German shepherds, to be exact.
Hard/paperback or eReader?
Not big on the digital experience. I'll take hardcovers every time.
Tea or coffee?
Coffee. Black. One Splenda.
Light side or dark side?
Well, that one's easy, isn't it?

Back in 2009, when the Douglas County GOP launched their campaign to take over the school board, they ran on transparency. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines transparency as, "characterized by visibility or accessibility of information especially concerning business practices", so it boggles the mind that the President of the Douglas County Board of Education said, "I'm of the view we're the most transparent school district in the state of Colorado" (Our Colorado News, March 15, 2013). He may want to look back at his campaign promise to "implement budgetary and operational transparency" because four years later, this board is not the most transparent in the state and a far cry from what they were in 2009.
The Strong Schools Coalition has spent hours tracking the amount of time the current board spends in executive session. In 2012, executive sessions grew to 49%—up from 8% in 2009. This means that almost half the time the school board meets, those meetings are not open to the public. In comparison to other like-sized districts, DCSD spends twice as much time in executive session as Littleton, three times as much as Cherry Creek, and almost ten times as much as the Jefferson County School District. What do they talk about? No one knows. Since executive sessions are private and confidential by law (as well as self-policed), it is very hard for stakeholders to find out what goes on behind closed doors.
Another concern is the amount of time these folks spend together discussing school board issues outside of regular meetings. This isn't really a problem as long as they follow Sunshine Laws which clearly state, "Any meetings at which the adoption of any proposed policy, position, resolution, rule, regulation, or formal action occurs or at which a majority or quorum of the body is in attendance, or is expected to be in attendance, shall be held only after full and timely notice to the public". This means that any time three or more school board directors are together, they are required to inform the public prior to their meeting. This also includes the "Meet the school board" session hosted by the GOP in January, as well as their victory party after the voucher ruling at a restaurant in Highlands Ranch last February.
Most of us would let the violation of the victory party slide if we could only get our CORA requests fulfilled. Recently, it has come to the attention of school board watchers that the Douglas County Educational Foundation has entered into some sort of an arrangement with The Starboard Group. The Starboard Group bills itself as "a premier political and non-profit consulting firm" which has many political connections with members of state republican elite and DCSD staff. Cinamon Watson, who is the district Community Engagement officer and the Interim Director of the Douglas County Education Foundation (and used to work for ALEC), has ties to both Katie Behnke and Kristin Strohm through her tenure as deputy campaign manager on Jane Norton's failed 2010 senate bid. There is no problem giving friends work as long as it is all on the "up and up", but repeated requests for the contract and correspondence between DCEF and Starboard have been refused and ignored, making it appear that something untoward is going on. Not much for operational transparency are they?
This board also promised budgetary transparency. Their idea of budgetary transparency was putting the district checkbook online. What would be more helpful to taxpayers is an explanation for the yearly growth in the fund balance? Not having a good grasp on how much money is available from year to year results in undue cuts. The fund balance has grown over $60 million since 2009 when graduation requirements were cut because of budgetary restraints. Instead of restoring those requirements, we have been treated to new fees for buses and technology, increases in existing fees, a growth in class sizes, and cuts to high school instructional time. Many parents argue that the growth in the fund balance could have been used to stop some of the cuts and offset some of the fees, but the district refused to acknowledge the problem, let alone discuss it with stakeholders.
President Barack Obama once said, "A democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency". Unfortunately, our republican school board has broken their campaign promise of transparency, and without transparency, there is no way our elected public school board can begin to fulfill their other campaign promise to "restore accountability to parents and taxpayers" and to truly say, "we are accountable to you!"

Eye In The Sky
Steb By Step
I was just a joker in a serious game
I didn't have the heart to play
But sooner or later
I'll find a reason to throw it away
Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
That never seems to break my way
I'm livin' without it
But I got to do something about it
Steb by step little by little
Step by step take it line by line
Move move move, move a little closer
Step by step the deal is mine
I was just a runner in a one horse race
Livin' on the don't pass line
Sooner or later
I got to lose cause I'm wasting my time
Lady Luck must have been a wonderful girl
She's never been a friend of mine
I'm living without her
But I still got that mountain to climb

Full text not available from this repository.

Electrogenic cotransporters are membrane proteins that use the electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane of a cosubstrate ion, for example Na(+) or H(+), to mediate uphill cotransport of a substrate specific to the transport protein. The cotransport process involves recognition of both cosubstrate and substrate and translocation of each species according to a defined stoichiometry. Electrogenicity implies net movement of charges across the membrane in response to the transmembrane voltage and therefore, in addition to isotope flux assays, the cotransport kinetics can be studied in real-time using electrophysiological methods. As well as the cotransport mode, many cotransporters also display a uniport or slippage mode, whereby the cosubstrate ions translocate in the absence of substrate. The current challenge is to define structure-function relationships by identifying functionally important elements in the protein that confer the transport properties and thus contribute to the ultimate goal of having a 3-D model of the protein that conveys both structural and functional information. In this review we focus on a functional approach to meet this challenge, based on a combination of real-time electrophysiological assays, together with molecular biological and biochemical methods. This is illustrated, by way of example, using data obtained by heterologous expression of the renal Na(+)-coupled inorganic phosphate cotransporter (NaP(i)-IIa) for which structure-function relationships are beginning to emerge.

College Hockey:No sophomore slump for Jacobson
After being showered with accolades as a freshman, it would have been easy for St. Norbert College goalie David Jacobson to fall into a sophomore slump this season.
However, through nine games, Jacobson has put together numbers that make last season look like a warm-up act. The sophomore netminder has led the Green Knights, the defending NCAA Division III champions, to a 5-2-1 mark. Jacobson's 1.94 goals-against average leads the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association and, in save percentage, he ranks second at .935. Through last weekend, Jacobson had 143 saves, ranking him fifth in the NCHA.
Last season, Jacobson concluded a stellar rookie campaign by helping the Green Knights to their second straight national title. He was named to the all-conference team and was hailed as the NCHA's Freshman of the Year. Not bad for a guy who wasn't considered the starting goalie when St. Norbert began the 2011-12 season. He earned his spot and never relinquished it.
Heading into this season, Jacobson knew many of his teammates would be back to defend their national title, and it gave the sophomore confidence to build off last year's success.
"Our whole team came back ready to go; we knew what we wanted to do, right off the bat," Jacobson said. "We had a lot of guys returning, so the chemistry's there and so a lot of things started clicking."
Jacobson began his sophomore campaign with three straight shutouts. His scoreless streak finally came to an end on Nov. 3 in a 2-1 loss to Gustavus Adolphus.
Jacobson, a Janesville, Wis., native, contributes much of his success to St. Norbert's dominating blue line. Through nine games, the Green Knights have killed a mind-boggling 26 of 29 penalties (89.7 percent).
"I really play well with the D-core we have right now; I think that's where a lot of our success comes in, is that we're always on the same page, for the most part," Jacobson said. "We know what each other's going to do. That's where coming back your sophomore year, it gives you a lot of confidence, because they know what you're going to do and you know what they're going to do. The goal is to get back (to the national title game), and that's all we want to do."
St. Norbert's biggest challenge may come from its own conference. Last weekend, Wisconsin-Eau Claire topped the Green Knights, 5-3, in Friday's opener and forced a 3-3 tie in Saturday's series finale. Wis.-Eau Claire's strong play moved them past St. Norbert in the USCHO.com D-III rankings, placing them fourth, while the Green Knights fell to sixth.
"They definitely have a solid team, a lot of returners, a lot of veteran guys, and they just pushed and pushed and just kept coming," Jacobson said. "We didn't have an answer for them, but give them credit, they had a pretty good solid squad, but we'll look forward to seeing them in the future."
At 5-foot-9, Jacobson isn't a physically intimidating goalie, but relies on quickness and strong hockey sense to lockdown opponents.
"I'm a smaller goalie, so I always have to work on staying aggressive and being just as big as I can in the net and be outside my crease at all times," Jacobson said.
He compares his style of play to former University of Wisconsin standout Brian Elliott. Elliott, now patrolling the pipes for the St. Louis Blues, was named to the NHL All-Star Game last season.
"When he was playing for the Badgers, him and (former Wisconsin goalie coach) Bill Howard, taught me when I was younger, that's kind of how I started and got the background and just went from there," Jacobson said. "I like to watch him and see his progress and how he does. I kind of relate my game to his, because that's the style he got taught with Bill Howard when he was with the Badgers and that's about where I started at."
Looking ahead, Jacobson's goal is to play hockey after college. However, before he leaves St. Norbert, he would like to add to the Green Knight's trophy case and lead them to another national title.

After I did yesterday's post on "dresses through the years," I did a collage of the oldest dress — a Versace — for Facebook. Here it is. Click to enlarge!
That inspired me to do another collage for Throwback Thursday with an even older dress. This leopard-print Diane von Furstenberg has been on the blog a lot. The first photos I have of it are from June 2002. I apparently put it away for a number of years, but it's been in frequent rotation since at least 2010. Again, click to enlarge.
In the collage, clockwise from left: On the way to see my Cleopatra earrings make an appearance in Sex and the City 2; with my gorgeous, animal-print-loving sister Terri Berry at her wedding rehearsal dinner; this month, at the JCK jewelry show in Las Vegas, with beautiful jewelry wimmins Erika Winters and Shamila Jiwa.
Speaking of JCK and Vegas, the stunning and stunningly tall Barbara Palumbo wrote a highlarious account of our last night there, which included the Rob Thomas concert that took place in a pool. She noted my obsession with the pool performance:
"Wendy, in my opinion, is the sole reason that JCK Events will ALWAYS hold a concert in a pool. I never saw someone so excited to see such a mediocre well-known musician while standing in chlorine."
It's true and I'm not at all ashamed.
Even if you know nothing about JCK or jewelry, read Barbara's post for her awesome new lyrics to Santana's hit, "Smooth," and her description of her conversation with hapless club-promoter Mike.

Okay. You win Most Admired Woman for Retaining Her Fabulous Figure Through the Decades Award. (No need to nominate anyone. You get to keep the award forever. And no interesting facts about yourself to publish. The MAWRHFFTDA I made up just for you and is an effort-free award experience. You're welcome.)
The dresses are wonderful, but you in them is what is inspiring!
And I'm so digging your hair. Excellent.
You totally rock both of these vintage beauties, dear Wendy!! (By the way, does fashion need to be a certain vintage to be officially considered "vintage?") Your taste seems to be as all-over-the-map (oops, I mean eclectic!) as my own…animal print and pink and blue swirls don't have a lot in common; but why should we have to pick a side, right?! And Ms. Palumbo's account of your Vegas adventure was the highlight of my blog reading so far tonight!! 😉

Here are the Saints' latest salary cap figures and the contract details of two of their four draft picks - safety Chip Vaughn (Round 4a) and punter Thomas Morstead (Round 5).
The Saints are currently $6,017,857 under the league-imposed salary cap, according to league sources.
Vaughn signed a four-year, $2.28 million deal that includes a $478,000 signing bonus, and Morstead signed a four-year, $1.915 million contract that includes a $165,000 signing bonus, according to league sources.
Saints first-round pick, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins, remains unsigned through the first nine days of training camp. Look for rookie linebacker Stanley Arnoux to eventually sign a contract slightly less than Vaughn's.
Arnoux will miss this season after rupturing his Achilles tendon during rookie minicamp. Arnoux was picked two slots lower than Vaughn in the fourth round.

This is related to this question; however different as this is a server.
I use crashplan and grabbed
/root, and
/etc; however upon an audit I determined that a lot of my configuration files were actually under
/var/lib (bind,dhcpd,etc).
This got me wondering... what else am I missing? At this time I barley have time to ask this question, so doing a restore test is out of the question (at this time).

MiaCMS Release Notes
MiaCMS was forked from Mambo CMS 4.6 Branch on April 29th, 2008, revision 1689. Below you find information for MiaCMS specific releases that have taken place since that time.
Version 4.6.4 (05/12/2008 - Our First Release, code name Flourish)
A lot has changed in this first release. Some minor and some relatively major items. MiaCMS v4.6.4 was based on Mambo 4.6.3's latest SVN as of April 29th, with a few minor merges since then. We wish we could have started with the Mambo 4.7 release we worked so hard to help build, but alas 4.7 has sat dormant for months and still has not seen a GPL release. With the majority of the development team now working on MiaCMS who knows when 4.7 will see the light of day. Thus we have been forced to move on without it and re-implement some of the same items ourselves where it made sense. Many (not all) of original goals for the Mambo 4.7 release can now be found in MiaCMS, plus many more that were not planned for Mambo. The team has been on a roll since we decided to fork two weeks ago. Below is an attempt to document those changes for you:
Cliffnotes/Executive Summary
- New default frontend template called "Borders"
- New administrator template
- Introduction of the YUI Library as our framework of choice for future releases
- Introduced new content editor and upgraded existing one
- RESTful API now bundled in core. Enhanced external interaction.
- New Sitemap component
- Integration of section/category based RSS
- New social sharing module
Detailed Information
- First up is a brand new default front-end template called "Borders". It utilizes the powerful YUI Grids CSS. You can still build templates for MiaCMS as you always have for Mambo, but we recommend Grids for help with constructing powerful cross-browser and standards compliant templates. Constructing a mock layout can be done in minutes with the simple graphical Grid Builder tool. A fair amount of XHTML compliance work has been completed in v4.6.4 of MiaCMS. However, there are still some internal portions of MiaCMS which may not be generating XHTML compliant code. We completed this work for Mambo 4.7 a while back, but as stated above we are reworking it now for Mia. It is better, just not perfect yet. MiaCMS should be capable of delivering XHTML 1.0 Strict sites after the next minor release or two.
Screenshot of Borders:
- Next up we have big news on the Administrator interface. A brand new look and feel is in place which is consistent with the MiaCMS color theme. This new theme comes complete with all new icons based on a combination of the Tango Icon Library & the famfamfam silk icon set. Many of the outstanding admin side markup errors and XHTML validation issues have also been resolved with this release. A few areas still need some considerable work, but for the most part things are much cleaner now.
Screenshot of the New Admin Theme:
- In addition to the new theme we are very happy to announce the selection of the YUI Library as our framework of choice for future releases. The first MiaCMS release brings with it many YUI based changes. The YUI Library was selected based on its functionality, large user base, attention to detail, fantastic documentation, support forums, and superb cross-browser support. We are also utilizing the YUI Effects Widgets released by Dav Glass modeled after the popular script.aculo.us effects library.
- With the MiaCMS 4.6.4 release we have converted all Administrator tabs over to the YUI Tabview component. Support for the older mosTabs function is still in place for 3rd party usage, but we recommend everyone take a good look at YUI Tabview.
Screenshot of the new MiaCMS tabs:
- The Create New/Edit Existing Content Item screen has also seen a good bit of revision. The old "advanced parameters" tab interface has been replaced by a set of accordion boxes. This is partly for eye-candy, but also serves the dual purpose of allow multiple advanced parameter areas to be viewable at the same time which cannot be achieved with tabs.
Screenshot of new Advanced Parameters area:
- Another area of great change in this release is the Administrator menu system. In the past Mambo has relied on the 3rd party JSCookMenu library to drive its menus. This has served the system well for many years, but where possible it makes sense to utilize a single framework. The newly included YUI Library includes vast menuing capabilities. We have completely rewriting mod_fullmenu utilizing the YUI Menu component and the new menus are driven off of semantic markup rather than pure JavaScript. The new menus are also keyboard accessible. The JSCookMenu library is still included for usage by 3rd parties, but we encourage everyone to take a good look at YUI Menus. Note: If some reason there are major issues with the menus in this first release the old menus can be restored by renaming /administrator/modules/mod_fullmenu.php.old.
Screenshot of the new Menus in Action:
- MOStlyCE, the default content editor for Mambo over the last several years, has moved over exclusively to MiaCMS. No future versions of MOStlyCE will be released for Mambo. With MiaCMS v4.6.4, MOStlyCE's internals have been upgraded to TinyMCE v3.0.7 and a few other minor MOStlyCE bugs have been corrected.
- A brand new editor called Byte has been created for MiaCMS. Byte is mambot built on top of the YUI Rich Text Editor with a few custom buttons. At the moment Byte is still the secondary editor to MOStlyCE. We wanted to let folks test it out and see what the communities reaction to it is before we make the big switch. Plus the YUI Rich Text Editor is still in beta so felt it best to wait until it was production ready. Even in beta though this new editor rocks. We plan to continue expanding its integration with Mia and develop file/image managers much like what MOStlyCE has today. Both editors will be supported for the foreseeable future.
Screenshot of Byte:
- The MOStlyREST work done by Brilaps, LLC has been included in MiaCMS. This brings RESTful functionality to the MiaCMS core by default. All you have to do is turn it on! For the REST go here ....
- A brand new Sitemap component has also been included in the core by default. "Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling". We had originally started this work for Mambo 4.7, but have since extensively modified and enhanced this component specifically for Mia. The new sitemap component generates sitemaps compliant with the sitemaps protocol. The component can be used to generate a static XML file for search engine crawlers to discover and/or can serve up the XML dynamically via a URL which can be submitted to major search engines like Yahoo, Google, etc. Site owners can also create menu entries to the sitemap component and it will build a visual sitemap for your frontend users.
- Integration of section/category based RSS
- Last, but not least a brand new module called Social BitsSocial Bits has been included in the core. Simply put Social Bits makes sharing your site... simple! Just publish and position the module on your site and then your users can share bits of your site on some of the most popular sharing services the Internet has to offer (i.e.) Digg, del.icio.us, reddit, etc.
Screenshot of Social Bits:
Stay tuned for much more in the upcoming weeks!

Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson was among six Pennsylvania mayors featured in a new video released Thursday by Mayors Against Illegal Guns demanding background checks for all gun sales.
The group, which consists of more than 900 mayors from 45 different states, is demanding mandatory criminal background checks for every gun sold in America, a ban on "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines and tougher, federal laws against gun trafficking.
In the 1 minute, 26 second video, 30 mayors – including Thompson, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, Chester Mayor John Linder, Easton Mayor Sal Panto and Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray – ask the public's help lobbying congress for new laws.

Kansas' first state-owned casino in Dodge
City is expected to open quietly on Tuesday.
Regulators planned to allow customers into the Boot Hill Casino
and Resort, but a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony won't
be until Wednesday, when Gov. Mark Parkinson pays a visit.
It's the first of four state-owned casinos authorized by a 2007
law. Olathe-based Butler National Corp. committed nearly $90
million to its construction. The casino floor has more than 580
slot machines and 12 tables for games such as blackjack.
While Butler National will manage the casino, the Kansas Lottery
actually is the legal owner. Kansas is the only state with such an
arrangement for a casino.

Green Tea Extract Eradicates Skin Cancer Tumours
by Sheela Philomena on August 22, 2012 at 11:38 AM Diet & Nutrition News - G J E 4
Extract from green tea found to be effective at shrinking skin cancer tumours, find researchers.
The University of Strathclyde team made 40 per cent of human skin cancer tumours disappear using the compound, called epigallocatechin gallate, in a laboratory study.
The University of Strathclyde team made 40 per cent of human skin cancer tumours disappear using the compound, called epigallocatechin gallate, in a laboratory study.
Previous attempts to capitalise on its cancer-fighting properties have failed because scientists used intravenous drips, which failed to deliver enough of the extract to the tumours themselves.
AdvertisementSo, the Strathclyde team devised a "targeted delivery system", piggy-backing the extract on proteins that carry iron molecules, which cancer tumours Hoover up.
The lab test on one type of human skin cancer showed 40 per cent of tumours disappeared after a month of treatment, while an additional 30 per cent shrank.
"These are very encouraging results which we hope could pave the way for new and effective cancer treatments," said Dr Christine Dufes, a senior lecturer at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, who led the research.
"When we used our method, the green tea extract reduced the size of many of the tumours every day, in some cases removing them altogether.
"This research could open doors to new treatments for what is still one of the biggest killer diseases in many countries," she added.
According to her, when the extract is administered intravenously, it goes everywhere in the body, so when it gets to the tumours it's too diluted.
"With the targeted delivery system, it's taken straight to the tumours without any effect on normal tissue," she explained.
The "ultimate objective" was a clinical trial in humans - but Dr Dufes said that was some way off.
The results have been published in the journal Nanomedicine.

Upward Bound, an organization started in 1972, is an academic enrichment and college preparatory program.
Saturday June 7, 2014 the program held its summer student orientation in Morgan State University's Calvin and Tina Tyler Ballroom for prospective freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. The orientation was attended by approximately thirty students and other interested persons. The orientation session was held to give students an understanding of the fast-paced summer component, complete with rules and regulations by which the students will be governed.
Students will live at the dormitories on campus where they will be engaged in academics and cultural enrichment activities. The program will being June 23 and end August 1, 2014. The academic emphasis will occur Mondays through Thursdays with classes in English, Math, Science, French, Reading, Spanish, Social Studies, NASA Projects, and Grade Level Seminars. The cultural enrichment emphasis, a la field trips, will occur on Fridays. In addition, there will be daily recreational activities including basketball, volleyball and swimming from 6 - 7:30pm. Students will also have access to the fitness center.
Stipends are given to encourage the students' full participation in the summer program. The program will culminate in an awards banquet to be held July 31 at Martin's East. The following day, August 1, students will enjoy a trip to Kings Dominion.
Inga Williams, a former Upward Bound student and now a counselor, said there are so many benefits to being in the program. She cited cultural enrichment and support and the encouraging of higher education. She also stated that being in Upward Bound helps students to have better rounded life experiences and gives them that extra push that some students need.
According to the literature distributed, the program encourages students to strive to do their best, push themselves harder, develop new positive attitudes toward self, others and school and believe in themselves to succeed and achieve.
The director of the program is Connie McDonald. Her email address is email@example.com.

I want to thank those who volunteered to help shed some light on the problem that those using the AOL browser have reported. What we saw was not at all what we expected.
First, a little background. We have had comments that items placed in a visitor's cart disappeared when they went to checkout. I started asking questions and learned that every visitor that used the AOL browser had the same problem. But, if they switched to Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari they had no problem.
Each time a browser visits a page, information is sent that is used to identify that unique visitor. We take the privacy and security of our customer's data very seriously. It is possible for some malware residing on the visitor's computer to intercept the "session ID" and gain access to that customer's order history, and other private data. One part of the hash is the visitor's external IP address. If the the actual IP address does not match the hash it has to be assumed that it is no longer the same person and the browser is prevented from displaying any personal data that would otherwise be available.
What we didn't expect was that the AOL browser goes through AOL's proxy server which changes the IP assigned to a user within the same session, especially when going from a regular HTTP page to HTTPS (the secured connection indicated by a little padlock). Encoding all of the info on a page and then unencoding it when it arrives at the browser can add to the time it takes to display a page. For that reason, we only use HTTPS when personal data is being sent between the browser and our site.
So, every time the user would go to checkout, the connection switched to HTTPS, AOL returned a different IP address, and the cart contents vanished. Sometimes, it would even change for no reason!
Now, I could compromise the security for everyone in order to accomodate users of the AOL browser, but, I'm not willing to do that.
- AOL users can use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari and not have the problem.
- The number of AOL users is very small and shrinking at an increasing rate.
Security has been and will continue to be very important to us.

The latest set of "Grand Theft Auto 5" DLC may have a release date window. According to a report from Gameranx on March 6, the new assassination and flight school missions are expected to be made available sometime later this month for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of "GTA 5."
In the campaign mode, players can take on a handful of assassination missions. If successful, each kill will dramatically change the in-game stock market, which could result in a big payout for the three main characters of the story. In flight school, Franklin and Michael can learn the basics of controlling several aircrafts in addition to skydiving.
Although Rockstar Games announced that both new types of missions would be added to the single-player portion of "GTA 5," Gameranx speculates that the same DLC packs should also be made available in the "GTA Online" mode. Most of the expansions release so far, include the recently-released business-themed update, are related to the multiplayer side of the open-world action-adventure video game.
The new assassination and flight school missions are expected to be free, according to the same source that provided the release date window. You can find a set of screens showcasing some of the "GTA 5" DLC released so far with the slideshow gallery located to the left side of this article.

Kevin Hart: Laugh At My Pain Movie Reviews
User reviews on Kevin Hart: Laugh At My Pain
I am a big fan of Kevin Hart, I think he is hilarious. I really liked this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. As any other comedians he laughs at his tough upbringings and his high life now, however he does it in a very unique an hilarious way. The film is perfect length and the only thing that I wish it had more of is the on stage performances of Hart, I had no idea he is so good live, I have seen him in so many movies and never knew. I recommend to see this film and re-discover Kevin Hart, you will be pleasantly surprised.
This is a doc**entary about Kevin Hart that i directed by Leslie Small and Tim Story and stars Kevin Hart and Na'im Lynn. I expected a little bit mpore footage of Hart on the stage, otherwise i liked this doc**entary and i highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film focuses on his recent stand-up tour and I liked the way the director showed Hart's past and connected it to his present. I have to warn you that there is a lot of cursing and profanity in this film, but I liked that because it was real. I wish tat the film was a bit longer and showed more of Kevin Hart on the stage. Overall, it is an entertaining doc**entary.

It can elicit the best in all of us as well as seemingly the worst.
Something we can all likely agree on is that Christmas has of course been commercialized beyond recognition. The first hints of the next celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ begin to surface about Halloween; not with religious recognition, but rather with bobbles and trinkets.
A peek at the breakdown of religious following in the U.S. shows that with over 51 percent of the population claiming to be Protestant, another 24 percent Catholic and 3-plus percent described as "other Christian," those who traditi...

Goettingen on the NetBeans Platform!
By Geertjan-Oracle on Sep 29, 2009
For the first time ever, TWO NetBeans Platform Certified Trainings are happening at the same time. You'll hopefully hear more about the other soon, it'll be a pretty interesting story—a large US-based organization is being introduced to the NetBeans Platform by Tim Boudreau right now.

This stall is famous for its thosai and appam, and we were especially excited to try the latter.
Also known as hoppers, these are bowl-shaped pancakes made from fermented rice flour, similar to thosai. However, for appam, the sides are crispy and thin, while the centre is thick, spongy and soft. Making good appam is definitely not an easy technique to master.
We tried the plain ($1.80 for two), cheese ($1.50) and egg appam ($1.50). They were served with shredded coconut and delicate, powdery brown sugar. All the appam were delicious and done really well, especially the egg version. The edges of the appam were paper-thin and lightly browned, literally melting in the mouth. The spongy centre, which was just slightly sour due to the fermentation process, picked up the coconut and sugar accompaniments well. The combination was pleasing and very moreish.
The egg appam stood out because of the runny yolk which added to the spongy, moist texture of the appam's middle. The added fragrance of the egg also made the appam much more appetising.
Meanwhile, we also tried the egg thosai ($1.50), which had a good texture and thickness (about 0.5cm). Soft and moist, but not oily, the flatbread mopped up the tasty dhal and fresh coconut chutney well. However, it lacked a certain "X" factor, especially when compared to the star dish, the appam.
The stall also sells putu mayam, which looks something like a mesh of vermicelli at $1.80 per set.

Homeland Security Delayed Arrest of New Jersey Senator's Intern Until After Election [Updated]
This is not going to go over well.
Time and again over the past few months, various officials and departments of the federal government have been accused by conservatives of inappropriately letting the election influence their duties. We had the "Susan Rice lied about Benghazi" affair, the cooked unemployment numbers uproar, the "hidden" Iranian drone attack kerfuffle — the list goes on. That none of these conspiracy theories ever panned out has given the right wing a serious case of conspiracy blue balls. Today, the AP may have finally provided them with some relief:
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned ...
Authorities in Hudson County notified ICE agents in early October that they suspected Sanchez was an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender and who may be eligible to be deported. ICE agents in New Jersey notified superiors at the Homeland Security Department because they considered it a potentially high profile arrest, and DHS instructed them not to arrest Sanchez until after the November election, one U.S. official told the AP. ICE officials complained that the delay was inappropriate, but DHS directed them several times not to act, the official said.
Was DHS's order to delay the arrest meant to protect a Democratic senator up for reelection (he won by 19 points)? Or would it have done the same thing had the senator been a Republican? There is some evidence for the latter: Days before the 2008 election, the DHS began requiring "high-level approval" before immigration officials could make arrests in "high profile" cases, according to a January 2009 AP report. Though it went unstated in the directive, one such high-profile case at the time involved President Obama's half-aunt.
So perhaps a sensitivity to politics is par for the course for the DHS. Even if that's the case, though, a fair question is: Should it be?
Update, 5:26 p.m.: The AP story now includes this denial: "A Homeland Security spokesman, Peter Boogaard, said Wednesday that it was 'categorically false' that the department delayed the arrest of Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, 18, until after the election."
