I have been working with jqGrid and am a bit stumped as to why the following will not operate as expected, the single line of code simply uses the formatter to update a row - if I insert a value into the ID parameter it works fine (see commented line) - and if I use a variable it simply doesnt work.
Am I missing something?
The ID for the row is numeric.
The following is called from colModel using the formatter ->
typeHighlight = function(cellvalue,options,rowdata){
if(cellvalue == "Invoice Required" || cellvalue == "Finished"){
var rowID = options.rowId; //gets the row id
setRow(rowID); //sets the row colour
return cellvalue;
return cellvalue;
setRow = function(rowID){
$("#list2").jqGrid('setRowData',rowID,false,'rowDone'); //new api
//$("#list2").setRowData(rowID,false,'rowDone'); //old method
//("#list2").setRowData(1323,false,'rowDone'); //note the row id manually inserted
As noted above, when I add the row id in manually - it works, the only thing that fails is when I try to add the row id programatically - it displays in firebug console as a correct value incidentally.
Thank you for any help

For the second year, The Works will be fielding FIRST LEGO Robotics Teams. FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a world-wide program designed for grades 4 - 8 focusing on three aspects of engineering – robot design, project research, and teamwork. Team Members will be introduced to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface.
The Works offers both robotics competition team and robotics camp experiences.
FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) TEAM REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
The Robotics Teams at The Works will consist of seven team members and one-two Coaches.
Team Members should have an interest in computers, robots, and cool technology. The LEGO® Mindstorms platform will be used to design, build, and program a LEGO® EV3 robot working as a team to explore and try new ideas. Coaches will encourage teamwork, creative thinking and problem solving.
FIRST® Lego® League – The Challenge
The Challenge has three parts: the Robot Game, the Project, and the FLL Core Values. This year's Challenge will be announced at the FLL Kick-Off event on Saturday, August 29.
Robot Game
In the Robot Game, the kids build and program an autonomous (no remote control) LEGO MINDSTORMS® robot to score points by performing mission tasks. These missions will be inspired by the Challenge theme. Missions require the robot to navigate, capture, transport, or deliver objects on a printed mat (the Field). The robot has 2 ½ minutes to complete as many missions as possible.
Through the Project, teams learn more about the science behind the Challenge theme. The kids use their creativity to design a solution (or modify an existing solution) to solve a real-world problem.
Core Values
While FLL teams work on the Robot Game and the Project each year, they are guided by the FLL Core Values. The Core Values are part of what makes FLL so special, because kids compete like crazy against the game but still respect their teammates, coaches, and even their "competitors." Don't forget, our last (and maybe most important) Core Value is "We have FUN!"
Ages: 9 - 13
Cost - members & non-members: - $125/student
Days of the week: Teams typically meet Tuesday, Thursday and some Saturdays.
FLL 2015 Team Form - download here

Put your team's programming skills and robots to the test in preparation for December's Regional Tournament.
November – December
Team Meetings
Additional meetings may be added as your team gears up for Regionals.
Regional Tournament
All teams must compete at a Regional Tournament. It is our hope that all teams will get into the FIRST® Lego® League Regional Tournament on Saturday, December 19, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., held at the John Gilbert Reese Center located on the campus of Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University at Newark. If this is not possible the date of the Regional Tournament will be provided as soon as possible.
District Competitions - Exemplary teams move onto Districts.

With the loss of estrogen that occurs with menopause, physiologic and structural changes occur within the vulvovaginal mucosa that lead to a condition commonly called atrophic vaginitis. Although mild genital changes occur in most women, 10–47% of postmenopausal women will develop one or more debilitating symptoms that include vulvovaginal dryness, dyspareunia, vulvar itching or pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, as well as abnormal vaginal discharge. Topical estrogen replacement therapies reverse these mucosal changes and are effective treatments for the symptoms of atrophic vaginitis. Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants also provide symptomatic relief for vaginal dryness and dyspareunia, respectively.

We investigate techniques for efficiently executing multiquery workloads from data and computation-intensive applications in parallel and/or distributed computing environments. In this context, we describe a database optimization framework that supports data and computation reuse, query scheduling, and active semantic caching to speed up the evaluation of multiquery workloads. Its most striking feature is the ability of optimizing the execution of queries in the presence of application-specific constructs by employing a customizable data and computation reuse model. Furthermore, we discuss how the proposed optimization model is flexible enough to work efficiently irrespective of the parallel/distributed environment underneath. In order to evaluate the proposed optimization techniques, we present experimental evidence using real data analysis applications. For this purpose, a common implementation for the queries under study was provided according to the database optimization framework and deployed on top of three distinct experimental configurations: a shared memory multiprocessor, a cluster of workstations, and a distributed computational Grid-like environment.

Interoperability and code reuse
A Sticky Mess
Developing cross-platform apps can be difficult and error prone. We offer some tips to ease the work.
Interoperability is a good thing; it enables us to use security tools across multiple platforms (like OpenID and OSSEC) and combine data from multiple platforms into tools like Prelude, right? Code reuse is also good – why reinvent the wheel if someone is giving away really nice all-weather tires? Unfortunately, when it comes to interoperability, not everyone does a good job of implementation. In fact, efforts to achieve compatibility and interoperability often can make a real security mess.

Nebraska City firefighters rescued the family dog from a house fire at 1419 Fourth Corso Thursday.
The dog, nine-year-old Buffy, was the family pet of Ashleigh Johnson and her son.
Fire Chief Alan Viox said firefighters were told that no one was home, but were alerted that a dog was inside.
Firefighter Kyle Moyer, who has been on the department over 20 years, said he found the dog on a bed in a downstairs bedroom.
Moyer said he saw the dog after the smoke cleared some in the room.
"He was just scared to death. A little singed, but he'll be allright," Moyer said.
By the time firefighters arrived at 2:40 p.m. the rear deck of the house was fully engulfed in flames. It is the same deck that had been on fire and was extinguished by firefighters in March.
As firefighters used a line hooked up to a fire hydrant on Fifth Corso, smoke was pouring out of the soffit of the house.
Johnson, 29, said a friend called her shortly after the fire call went out.
She said she was very upset about losing the house, but was happy that Buffy was rescued. Nebraska City EMS provided the dog with oxygen as she recovered under a shade tree.
"It was good to save him," Moyer said. "I have a pet of my own at home."
Viox said the high temperatures were an issue for firefighters. He said he called for mutual aid from Dunbar, Percival, Sidney and Syracuse because the fire "was rolling up on us pretty fast" and because of temperatures near 100 degrees.
One firefighter was taken to St. Mary's Community Hospital on showing heat-related symptoms.
The state fire marshal's office has been called to investigate the cause of the fire.

Custom Exhaust Headers - Homebuilt HeadersWritten by on November 1, 2006 How To Build Traditional Lake Pipes
Once upon a time hot rodders worked with the materials readily at hand to build their machines. During those formative days, one of the easiest ways to increase performance was to improve the exhaust flow, and resourceful rodders dicovered that the inner driveshaft found under a 1936 Ford would provide a perfect pair of tapered cones to be used as main exhaust tubes and the basis for a pair of sexy lakes-style headers.
One of the purveyors of truthful and useful hot rods built with the techniques and ideas of the golden age of rodding is Jimmy White, the owner and proprietor of Circle City Hot Rods in Orange, California. Jimmy has built many graceful headers so we were thoroughly excited when he invited us to tag along while he built a pair using the old '36 Ford driveshaft method. Follow along as we take a trip into the past.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The path to a sweet set of headers begins by cutting the ends off an original '36 Ford inner driveshaft right behind the point where the splined shaft is welded to the tube.A disc grinder was used to neatly clean up the cut edges, resulting in a pair of perfectly matched tapered pieces.After the ends were cut off, a small piece of the splined shaft was left inside the ends of the tube. Using a long piece of appropriately sized tubing, the splined remnant was gently tapped out of the inner driveshaft tube and discarded.A new pair of laser-cut header flanges were dressed and smoothed for appearance purposes and then bolted to the heads.The first bend was slightly flared at a local muffler shop to fit correctly into the end of the cut-down driveshaft. The header was then eyeballed into position until it looked right.After adding a small connector piece to the header flange, the first corner was trimmed and tack welded into place. The mocked-up header follows the lines of the vehicle perfectly. Jimmy takes the time to stand back and carefully study the headers from all angles to ensure happiness with the finished product.
Once the down pipe fit the torque tube, it was marked for trimming to meet the small upper pipe attached to the header flange.The sweep of the down pipe was then copied to make the rest of the down pipes. Repeating the same steps, the rest of the down pipes were tacked into place. Before the header was disassembled, machinist dye was sprayed on the header and a scribe was then used to mark the placement of each down tube.The tack welds were then cut and the main header pipe was separated from the header assembly. A hole cutter was used to begin the process of opening up the main header pipe.The oval-shaped exhaust passage openings were carefully rough-cut with a cut-off wheel and then finished with a rotary grinder.Once each exhaust opening had been cut into the torque tube, it was reattached to the pipes with a few tack welds. A Scotch-Brite wheel was used to clean the header for maximum weld penetration in preparation for final welding.The inside of the upper exhaust tubes were the first to receive final welding. Finish welding of all the tubes required the greatest amount of talent and concentration.

PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST - The Cradle of Forestry in America Historic Site will hold a summer nature series, Woodsy Owl's Curiosity Club, for children ages 4 to 7 and their special adult. Each day, a variety of outdoor-oriented activities will explore a forest-related theme to engage young children in the natural world around them. Programs will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Thursdays through Aug. 6.
The Curiosity Club's blend of investigation and creativity can be a step to help children "lend a hand, care for the land." This is the mission of Woodsy Owl, the USDA Forest Service conservation symbol. Each child receives a copy of the book Woodsy Owl's ABC's and makes a topic-related craft to take home.
The fee for the Curiosity Club is $4 per child for each program. Accompanying adults are admitted to the Cradle of Forestry for half price. There is no charge for adults with season passes to the Cradle of Forestry. The fee includes all the site has to offer that day. Registration is requested and can be done by calling (828)877-3130. You can sign up for one program or multiple days.
For more information, call 877-3130 or go to www.cradleofforestry.org.

Linsanity came to an abrupt, and somewhat surprising, end on July 17 when Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald made a quick call to Jeremy Lin and let him know the Knicks would not match a $25 million offer sheet Lin signed with the Houston Rockets. The Knicks being frugal? What in the name of Jerome James is going on here?
Grunwald, or anyone within the organization, did not make a statement to explain the decision to let one of the Knicks' most valuable assets simply walk away, though the $14.9 million "poison pill" salary in the third year of the deal certainly gave them a good reason.
With harsher luxury tax penalties in the new collective bargaining agreement, the Knicks were facing the potential of paying as much as $40 million for Lin's salary in that third year, with stars Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler also on the payroll.
But for the Knicks, who have never shied away from paying the luxury tax in the past, was it more than just about money? Anthony, for one, called it a "ridiculous contract," and J.R. Smith, who re-signed for a bargain price of $2.8 million, admitted that a young player getting that much money off 25 career starts could cause trouble in the locker room and around the league.
"I think some guys take it personal being they've been doing it longer and haven't received reward for it yet," Smith told SI.com. "I think it's a tough subject to touch on for a lot of guys."
All of that aside, what emerged as the biggest issue wasn't money but the manner in which Lin got the money. Reports initially indicated that he agreed to a four-year deal that included a third year at a far more manageable $9.3 million salary and a fourth year that wasn't guaranteed. The Knicks had no trouble matching that.
But then the Rockets brought Lin's representation back to the table and made a second offer that included the "poison pill," and when he signed it, there was a sense that he -- or his agents -- conspired with the Rockets to torpedo the Knicks.
"It wasn't like they gave me the choice to sign one of the two and I chose the one that would hurt the Knicks," Lin told the San Jose Mercury News. "I had one contract offer. That's it."
Still, the organization was resigned to match the offer and deal with the issues later -- the CBA did allow for a "stretch provision" that, if Lin failed to live up to his value, permitted the team to waive Lin and spread that third year over a three-year period, thus lessening the cap and tax hit.
But during the 72-hour period they had to match, Grunwald was able to complete a sign-and-trade deal to land former Knick Raymond Felton. With the tough, experienced veteran point guard in the fold along with veteran Jason Kidd, the Knicks felt less pressure to match the Lin deal.
And just like that, Linsanity, as it was known in New York, was over.

A gift from a family of LSU volleyball fans, Clark brings this tiger hat with him to every home volleyball match.
"Can you dig it?"
Because he doesn't own a car, Clark walks to almost every sporting event he attends, including the sports with stadiums on the far ends of campus.
Volleyball coach Fran Flory talks with Clark before the team's match against Tennessee Sept. 30. Clark is known by many of the LSU athletes and coaches because of his dedication to attending nearly every sporting event.

Rhinoceros Eyes
- Studio: Madstone Films
- Release Date: Apr 23, 2004
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
For all its visual zaniness and its aura of psychic imbalance, the movie, which won the Discovery Award at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, stays on the surface and never locates its own heart of darkness.
The surprise is how utterly original his (Woodley's) gorgeously mounted curiosity seems.
There are some good ideas buried beneath the grotesque whimsy, and several animated sequences are modestly clever. But Pitt's mannered performance will inspire nothing but a run to the video store, in search of a real Burton.
Manages to create a creepy atmosphere, even if the plot itself is somewhat unfocused and the scares scarce.
Oddly bereft of scares or tension, the film is mainly notable for its sustained atmosphere of weirdness.
Live by the meta-movie rules, die by the meta-movie rules: Rhinoceros Eyes is a parable on cine-enchantment that itself fails to enchant.

Big Isle History for August 11
I SAW…It looks as though Hilo is going in for roller skating seriously…It even looks as though I will have to "convert" myself to the sport if everybody else in town intends to roller skate…Today I SAW several salesmen going from store to store…They were selling skates…And the stores bought them…They must think they can sell them for there will be several new advocates of the sport with the coming of the third skating rink…At the volcano arena…I wish the police department would give the would-be "skaters" license numbers so I could take them down when they blocked "traffic" on the sidewalks…P.S. I soon expect to see business men skating to work…
Down by the vegetable district I SAW a boy, who was driving, wondering why the car's engine would die when he reached a certain speed…If he really wants to know his brake was on…
Yesterday, tending the departure of their training ship, I SAW three Japanese men going upstairs toward the office of the Chamber of Commerce…Maybe they went to say their official goodbye … Down by the sea shore behind the railroad terminal, I SAW several boys with things that looked like beach hats made out of net … (But they were crab nets) …The crabs they caught may have only been Hilo crabs but they had big enough pinchers … No, I didn't shake hands with the crabs even though I was introduced…
Shunichi Kimura, Democratic candidate for county chairman, will hold an open house at his campaign headquarters at 310 Keawe St. across from the K. Taniguchi Super Market, Friday from 4 to 9 p.m. The formal grand opening ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. with an invocation by the Rev. Gabriel Pea. Refreshments will be served and entertainment will be provided by groups including a barbershop quartet, the Torquays, and Mrs. Piilani Nahiwa's, Mrs. Edith Kanakaole's and Mrs. Phoebe Makaio's troupes. 1989
Zalman Shmotkin and Naftali Rotenstreich, two rabbinical students from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, are back in the islands after a successful tour of Jewish communities last year. The two budding rabbis from New York are part of a summer outreach program to meet with Jewish people and to help enrich and strengthen the Judaic heritage. They return to New York on Aug. 24. The Brooklyn-based Chabad-Lubavitcher movement, an international Jewish outreach organization, was founded in the 19th century. Its leader for the last 40 years has been Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, who has set into motion massive educational, social and rehabilitative programs, and is the inspiration and guide for the young traveling rabbis.
A Honolulu Chabad Center was established two years ago by Rabbi Itchel Krasnjansky and his wife, Pearl. While in Hawaii, Shmotkin and Rotenstreich hope to stress the message that one can "live in and with the world and still observe God's commandments." In other words, every Jew, when given a chance to experience the faith, "will become closer to its observance," Shmotkin said. This Day in History is compiled by Brandon Haleamau for the Tribune-Herald using newspaper archives. Whenever possible, the news accounts provided in this column were taken verbatim from the newspaper.

Spices combat greenhouse gas
Feeding cows and sheep coriander and tumeric, spices used to flavour curries, could reduce the amount of methane - a greenhouse gas 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide - they produce by up to 40 per cent. The spices kill the 'bad' bacteria in the animals' guts that are responsible for producing methane while allowing other 'good' bacteria to flourish.

Coppers catch copper thieves
Communications company British Telecom is coating its valuable copper cables in an invisible paint known as SmartWater. The paint leaves an indelible mark on skin or clothes for up to 60 days if the cables are stolen. It shows up under ultraviolet light, and will be used to trace the stolen metal and identify the criminals involved.

Replacing coal with biomass
Energy firm Drax, Britain's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, wants to convert its coal-fired power station into a biomass burning station within 10 years, enabling it to become an energy neutral energy producer. The company has said it will only go ahead with the revolutionary plans if the government agrees to grant renewable subsidies to converted coal plants, as at present only purpose-built biomass plants receive extra payouts.

Spray-on glass repels bugs
Liquid glass - made from silica mixed with either alcohol or water - can be sprayed onto surfaces to form a coating 500 times thinner than a human hair that repels dirt, water and bacteria. A study at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, UK, proved that liquid glass reduces the number of disease-causing bacteria on children's toys, and could be used to prevent hospital-acquired infections, such as the superbug Staphylococcus aureus, that are resistant to many antibiotics.

Review Title
This fleece is so great for riding in and taking to the streets. Its super toasty and cute.
Warm, cozy and wonderfully bright
I bought the Burton AK Vario Fleece Jacket to go underneath the Burton AK Static Shell. So far, in the temperatures that I have tried it (up to minus 20 celcius or so) it has been plenty warm. I have not experimented yet spending oodles of time outside at one time, so I'll have to go for a long walk one of these days! I like the fuzziness. I chose size small and it fits nicely (I'm 5'4", slight build). There is room to put layers underneath, but I like how it looks by itself also (still tailored look).
Kermit the Frog
I bought the Vario fleece to go with my Burton AK Rotor Jacket (which I love). The texture of this fleece is a bit shaggier than it appears in the photo. Not quite the look I was after, though it seems to be popular this year. I prefer to pay a bit more for the Arc'teryx covert cardigan. This item doesn't seem worth the price (even on sale at $105). But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The cyan (turquoise blue) color is gorgeous.
heaps of compliments
Love this jacket. Super warm, super fuzzy and low bulk. Works like a charm under my hard shell. Can't wait to get another in next years colors Sleeves are nice and long and jacket comes over the top of snowboard pants and stays put to keep your back toasty warm when buckling in. Great price!
warm and fuzzy
This jacket is my favorite. It's fit is perfect and sporty, while keeping you toasty!!

I've recently been looking into the topic of programming languages and from what I've seen, few to none serious languages try making really "new" things that were not seen before their creation.
- Why do all more or less successful programming languages since 1980 or so just combine aspects of their predecessors?
I just can't believe that programming languages "can't get any better"..

1814 - James Atkinson, tr. Soohrab: a Poem, Freely Translated from the Original Persian of Firdousee, being a portion of the Shahnamu of that celebrated poet (Calcutta: Hindoustanee Press). 2nd edition, enlarged, 1828. Atkinson was a member of the East India Company's Bengal Medical Service.
1815 - Stephen Weston, tr. Ferdoosee, Episodes from the Shahnamah (London: for the author)
1819 - Samuel Robinson, Sketch of the Life and Writings of Ferdusi. Transactions of the Literary and Philosophical Societyof Manchester. Reprinted for the author, 1823. Reprinted in revised edition, (London, 1876).
1832 - James Atkinson, tr. Firdausi: Shahnameh (London: Oriental Translation Fund)
1882 - Helen Zimmern, tr. The Epic of the Kings: Stories Retold from Firdusi (London: LT. Fisher Unwin). Consists of prose selections; not reliable for scholarship.
1905-1925 - Arthur and Edmond Warner, trs. The Sháhnáma of Firdausí, 9 vols. (London: Keegan Paul). Reprinted Routledge, 2000. A complete English verse translation of the Mohl edition.

1967 - Reuben Levy, tr. The Epic of the Kings. Persian Heritage Series. (London: Routledge and K. Paul) xxviii+423pp. Reprint, Mazda publications, 1996. A prose translation, with certain sections abridged in the form of a prose summary.
1987- Jerome Clinton, tr. The Tragedy of Sohrab and Rostam: From the Persian National Epic, the Shahname of Abdol-Qasem Ferdowsi. 2nd revised ed.(Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1996).
Persian-English facing page, blank-verse translation with notes and glossary.
1992 - Dick Davis, tr. The Legend of Seyavash, (Penguin Classics). Blank verse translation.
1999 - Jerome Clinton, tr. In the Dragon's Claws: The Story of Rostam and Esfandiyar from the Persian Book of Kings (Washington, D.C. Mage Publishers). Blank verse of the Esfandiyar story.
Dick Davis, tr. Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings by Aboloqasem Ferdowsi. New York: Viking Penguin, 2006. Dick Davis' prose (with some verse) English translation of nearly the entireShâhnâmeh is an important and monumental scholarly achievement, as it makes Ferdowsi accessible (in ways that previous antiquated verse translations didn't) to English reading audiences who do not know Persian or may have never even heard of Iran's most famous poet not named Rumi. On the downside, however, is the fact that Mr. Davis inexplicably leaves out not only the opening two hundred or so lines of Ferdowsi's all important prologue but also much of the poet's powerful, poignant, searching commentary, interspersed throughout the text, which taken together give the work its poetic vision and help the reader understand what concerns (e.g. religious, philosophical, epistemological) may have motivated Ferdowsi's extraordinary poetic output. All we can hope for now, short of a new translation, is that Mr. Davis corrects this oversight in subsequent editions.
2006 - Dick Davis, tr. Shahnameh: the Persian book of kings by Abolqasem Ferdowsi. Foreword by Azar Nafisi. (New York: Viking). xxxvii, 886 pp.
Prose translation, with some excised portions (including the exordium), and selected passages in English verse. This is a one-volume re-edition of earlier versions from the Davis translation, as published initiially by Mage, with lavish illustrations from the pre-modern manuscript tradition, in three volumes: Vol. 1, The Lion and the Throne (Mage Publishers, 1998); Vol. 2, Fathers and Sons (Mage Publishers, 1998); Vol. 3, Sunset of Empire (Mage Publishers, 2003). The excerpted stories concerning Rostam also appeared separately as Rostam: Tales of Love & War from Persia's Book of Kings (Washington, DC : Mage Publishers, 2007), xxv+291 pp

Students who decide to take ISCOR 495 must meet with the ISCOR Advisor, who will provide all of the necessary information and guidance.
Students who participate in the ISCOR internship program are expected
to write a substantive research paper pertaining to their course
of study as it applies to their internship. For example, a student
working with refugees from the Sudan may write a paper on the role
of Non-Governmental Organizations in assisting the "Lost Boys" of
the Sudan, while a student working for a member of Congress may
write a paper providing an analysis of a major piece of legislation
addressing terrorism or Homeland Security.
It should also be noted that students work only for organizations
that give them substantial responsibilities (no photocopying and
picking up the CEO's dry-cleaning here!). The ISCOR Program has
identified, and continues to identify, agencies that give our students
a first rate learning experience.
For example, a number of our students intern with the San Diego Chapter of the International Rescue Committee where they help refugees from countries like the Sudan, Iraq, Guatemala and Afghanistan adapt to American society. Several other students have worked with the National Conflict Resolution Center and gotten direct experience in mediation services. Students have found many other interesting internships at places like the British Parliament, the United Nations, the U.S. State Department in Rome, the United State's House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, a major U.S. law firm's branch office in Mexico, a border trade group in San Diego and Tijuana, and the Human Rights Commission in Guadalajara.

A toddler found alone on the street on Auckland's North Shore
this morning has been reunited with his parents.
The boy, aged about 3 or 4, was found by a member on the
public on Lake Rd in Takapuna about 4am.
He spoke an unknown language, which made communication
difficult, and was wearing jeans and a blue sweatshirt and
socks but no shoes, said police.
The boy was initially kept at North Shore Policing Centre and
was then taken to Child, Youth and Family in Takapuna where
his parents arrived about 10am, said a police spokesman.

CONCORD, N.C. - Each day before they leave their western North Carolina home, Marcine and Arne Fennel clasp hands, close their eyes and pray.
These days, in particular, they are praying for rain to fill the depleted lakes and end the worst drought their area has seen in 50 years.
"Has the rain a father?" Mrs. Fennel, quoting from the Book of Job, asks, her right hand raised palmward to the sky. "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that an abundance of water may cover you?"
"Lord," her husband rejoins, "we ask that you bring the rain. Replenish our land. Replenish our streams, our lakes, our reservoirs. Lord God, bring us the rain so that we may survive."
Similar prayers can be heard all across the South, which is in its third straight year of drought.
Florida has been gripped since 1998 by the worst dry spell since records started being kept in 1895. Mighty Lake Okeechobee is so dry that exposed water vegetation has caught fire.
In central Georgia, farmers planting this year's corn crop kick up clouds of dust plowing fields that a new 4-inch soaking barely penetrated. North Carolina just finished the second-driest winter on record. Scientists even suspect the lack of fresh water reaching estuaries could be behind last year's low white shrimp harvest off the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia.
Most of Florida, a large swath of western North Carolina and a small area of northern South Carolina are under extreme or exceptional drought conditions, according to the latest Drought Monitor.
Most of Georgia and the Carolinas are experiencing moderate drought. And large areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, eastern North Carolina and southern Virginia are abnormally dry.
That might surprise anyone who dropped into central Georgia or parts of the Carolinas in recent weeks. Heavy downpours soaked large areas.
"It was too wet to even get my tractor out in there," says Sam Baker, drought specialist at the Southeast Regional Climate Center in Columbia, S.C. "But that doesn't mean that if I dig down a foot and a half to put in a post that I'm not going to get in just powder-dry soil."
So far this year, there seems to be plenty of moisture in the soil - too much for some farmers, says David Stooksbury, Georgia's state climatologist. Yet he is warning people not to get fooled.
Much of the region is in what is known as a hydrological drought, meaning stream and reservoir levels are low, and rainfall hasn't been enough to recharge the systems.
Lake Lanier, the primary water source for metropolitan Atlanta, is about 10 feet below normal. And Florida's Lake Kissimmee, the largest feeder lake to Okeechobee, rose only 3 inches after receiving an above-average 5.5 inches of rain in March.
Back in Concord, where restaurants are using paper plates and people are being asked to limit showers to four minutes and sprinkle lawns only with watering cans, people are looking for help from above.
Arne Fennel, who just happens to be chairman of the Cabarrus County Commission, presented a proclamation asking every citizen of the county to pray for rain throughout April. The measure passed unanimously, and government bodies from as far away as Florida and Oregon have asked for copies.

Stayed here two nights for an event at Tulsa Motorports Park. The Motel was convenient to the site. The facility was obviously old, but was reasonably well maintained. The room was clean and in good working order. There are no coffee makers in the room but the free coffee in the lobby is worth the short walk. There was an acceptable selection of items in the breakfast buffet. Let's face it, at this price you shouldn't expect a lot of amenities. That said, this place was obviously run by someone who cares about providing good service within the confines of the limited price they charge. If you expect any amount of luxury this isn't your place. But if you just need an clean, inexpensive place to stay in this area I would recommend the America Best Value Inn.

An attempt is made to explain as clearly as possible the problem of address generation and how the prime factor mapping technique is used in this class of algorithms. Two novel address generation schemes are proposed to improve efficiency. The first scheme reduces the computation required for unscrambling data in an in-place realization of the PFA (prime factor algorithm) by reducing the number of variables used to calculate the data addresses. The second scheme is to be used in an in-place in-order realization of PFA. It achieves high efficiency by replacing complicated modulo operations of conventional approaches by simple indirect addressing techniques. Making use of this scheme, software packages have been written for the computation of DFTs (discrete Fourier transforms) using a high-level language and two low-level languages (the 80286/287 and TMS330C25 assembly languages). Results of these realizations show that a reduction of 50% in address generation time is achievable, giving a saving of 30% in total computation time. A hardware address generator is also developed, which may provide clues to improving digital signal processor architectures in the future

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach went to the Kentucky Derby for the first time last spring. Had a great time -- with one regret.
His wife, Sharon, wore the typical wide-brimmed Derby hat. Leach abhors typical. If he had been drawing up the fashion game plan for the first Saturday in May, the missus would have gone West Texas kitsch: a big ol' sombrero, complete with velvet fringe and dangly balls.
"Wouldn't that be great?" Leach asked Saturday, after his 4-1 Red Raiders stunned previously unbeaten Texas A&M 31-27 in Kyle Field, denying Aggies coach Dennis Franchione the meaningful victory he's been desperately seeking for 3½ underachieving seasons.
The Derby headwear story tells you all you need to know about the most eccentric, unconventional coach in college football. He is the figurative sombrero at the stuffy formal wear party.
Nobody in the game more successfully thumbs his nose at the establishment than Mike Leach. The establishment decrees that all offensive success is built upon an ability to run the ball, but Leach is well on his way to a seventh winning season in seven tries by throwing first, last and always. He's flouted ancient precepts and lived to laugh about it.
And make no mistake, he's not doing it with overwhelming talent. Leach hasn't won five of his last six against bitter rival Texas A&M with a bunch of NFL players. The next Red Raider drafted in the third round or higher will be the first under Leach.
Which makes you wonder what he might do if he could swap talent with some of the coaches at Cadillac programs. We may never know, because it's hard to see Leach kowtowing to convention enough to work at one of those places.
For now he's quite content to go for broke in a profession that collectively goes by the book. For proof, compare and contrast Leach (52-29 at Tech) and Franchione (20-20 at A&M) at the end of this game of dramatic ebbs and flows:
Franchione's team ran the ball 15 straight times in the fourth quarter. That was rock-solid strategy against a worn-down Tech front -- up to a point. A final run call on third-and-11 from the Texas Tech 20, with 2:16 left in a tie game, cemented the fact that the Aggies were playing for a go-ahead field goal -- not a go-ahead touchdown.
Cue Leach: "Touchdowns are better than field goals. Saves you a lot of aggravation. I'm not a guy who really plays for field goals anyway. I hate those things."
Leach was not second-guessing Fran; he was referring to his own quarterback's decision to throw what turned out to be the winning bomb with 26 seconds to play. In a situation where many in the crowd of 85,979 expected the Red Raiders to dink their way toward a tying kick and overtime, Graham Harrell went for the gusto.
When the Aggies' defense showed press coverage from the A&M 37-yard line, Harrell signaled the automatic audible to wideout Robert Johnson: go deep.
"They came out in press and acting like they were going to blitz," Harrell said. "I thought, 'No way they're going to do this.'"
It was only the second blitz A&M's first-year defensive coordinator, Gary Darnell, called the entire second half. The Aggies had shut out the high-powered Red Raiders for 29½ minutes after intermission, but this max blitz -- which put redshirt freshman cornerback Jordan Peterson in zero coverage against Johnson, with no help -- proved fatal.
"I thought they were about to bail out," Harrell said. "We snapped the ball and they didn't bail out. I was like, 'Man, that's great news.'"
So Harrell lobbed a pass right down the chimney to Johnson, who caught it over Peterson's outstretched arms to absolutely shock the eighth-largest crowd in Kyle Field history.
That's the freedom which comes with playing quarterback for Leach. You're in charge at the line of scrimmage, no matter the time and score. There's no check-with-me gawking at the sideline before snapping the ball, no micromanaging from the guy in the headset.
"It's a quarterback's dream," said Harrell, who was 32 of 45 for 392 yards and four touchdowns -- pretty standard numbers in the Leach pinball scheme. "Coach gives you free rein to check whenever you want."
Harrell is from Ennis, Texas -- closer to College Station than to Lubbock. But A&M never recruited him after receiving an early commitment from its current starting QB, Stephen McGee. No hard feelings, Harrell says, but the Red Raiders as a group have delighted in their feisty underdog status in a state that has always been ruled by the Longhorns and Aggies.
Leach says his program competes with Texas A&M often on the recruiting trail. But if you go by the Tech media guide, the Red Raiders must not win many of those battles. Only 13 of the 92 players in the guide listed being recruited and/or offered a scholarship by the Aggies.
Yet if you ask Leach whether he's doing more with less, he knows a rhetorical trap when he sees it.
"A deal like that's so complimentary, I could easily talk myself into that one," he said, before shying away.
Leach also backpedaled from his rep for needling the Aggies, which has helped make him Public Enemy No. 1 in College Station.
Poking fun at the corps of cadets who attend A&M games in uniform, Leach once said, "How come they get to pretend they are soldiers? The thing is, they aren't in the military. I ought to have Mike's Pirate School. The freshmen, all they get is the bandana. When you're a senior, you get the sword and skull and crossbones. For homework, we'll work pirate maneuvers and stuff like that." There were a few folks in pirate regalia at Kyle Field Saturday.
Last week, Leach also attributed the Aggies' improved pass defense in 2006 to playing a weak schedule. Turns out he was right. In the first half, when the Red Raiders were racking up 258 passing yards, A&M looked a lot like the team that was last in the nation in pass defense last season.
In the final analysis you can argue that the Aggies' 4-0 start against was a house of cards, and that Franchione's seat remains as warm as it was entering this season. But if it hadn't been for one big play -- a gutsy bomb against a vulnerable cornerback -- we'd probably be singing Fran's praises today for earning a big victory in come-from-behind fashion.
Rotating players liberally in a sun-baked first half left him with the fresher team in the second. A&M dominated after halftime, especially after it started pounding Tech between tackles and off the edge with the running game.
But playing for three in the end left the Red Raiders with hope, and enough time to turn that hope in to reality. And with the result, Franchione now has lost five straight Big 12 games, and hasn't beaten a quality opponent since Texas Tech in 2004.
Texas A&M isn't paying him $2 million a year for results like that. With four of the Aggies' final seven games on the road and all three remaining home games against currently ranked opponents, Franchione will have to earn that salary -- and a fifth season in College Station -- the hard way.
Meanwhile, Mike Leach looks like a bargain at $1.6 million. And Sharon Leach would look like a million bucks on the coach's arm at Churchill Downs, wearing a sombrero.
