The LSU Tigers have announced their 2011 football schedule, which features games against Oregon, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee.
LSU's 2011 non-conference schedule is highlighted by the season-opener on September 3 against the Oregon Ducks at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas and a trip to face West Virginia on September 24. The Tigers also host Northwestern State (09/10) and Western Kentucky (11/12).
The Tigers begin the SEC season on Thursday, September 15 at the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The remainder of LSU's SEC schedule includes Kentucky (10/01), Florida (10/08), at Tennessee (10/15), Auburn (10/22), at Alabama (11/05), at Ole Miss (11/19) and home against Arkansas (Fri. 11/25).
The SEC Championship Game will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Listed below are links to the 2011 LSU football schedule (with tickets) and future schedules:
Wow! What a meat grinder of a schedule for LSU but I like it! Finally some quality non-conference opponents. I still don't like the cupcakes, maybe one per season for HC but other than that, if you want to be a true contender, at least replace NW state (insert your own cupcake) with at least a better than mediocre team like say….Mich St., Indiana, Iowa, TCU, etc…Then you see your mettle. Then you see how good you really are and you will be rewarded for that, even if you drop one of those contests. "The strongest Palm trees grow where the greatest winds blow." – Me

I'm looking to find some scary movies to watch with a friend who likes getting scared. Horror movies don't really do much for me scare wise outside of the odd jump scare startling me, but almost nothing has ever made me feel actually afraid and it always bugged him being the only one getting scared. So I'm on the hunt for some movies that will scare/freak me out and I was wondering what were some movies that you folks have watched and at some point in the film actually made you afraid? I'm currently downloading "Maniac", "The Lords of Salem", and "American Mary" in hopes that they will do the trick. I spent a few hours watching some trailers on youtube last night and they seemed like good candidates. I'm always on the look out for other suggestions though.
Bonus internet points to anyone that can include trailers so I don't have to Google it. Here be the trailers for the ones I listed for anyone else that might be looking.

Manufactured Homes:
State-Based Replacement Programs May Provide Benefits, but Energy Savings Do Not Fully Offset Costs
GAO-13-373: Published: Mar 28, 2013. Publicly Released: Mar 28, 2013.

What GAO Found
GAO identified three statesMaine, Montana, and Washingtonthat have developed pilot programs focused on replacing older manufactured homes using a combination of state and federal funds. The three programs were relatively small, accounting for about $4.5 million in spending and responsible for replacing 81 homes, over about 2 years. The programs differed in requirements, including whether the land that the replacement home would occupy had to be owned or could be leased; the types of financing used, with some replacements requiring recipients to take on a partial mortgage; and the types of replacement homes.
Program officials and representatives of organizations that aided them from the three state replacement pilot programs identified three key types of challenges in implementing these programs. First, they told GAO that many potential beneficiaries were not eligible to participate because (1) they had liens on their existing properties, (2) they did not own or have a long-term lease for the land the homes would be placed on, or (3) their credit histories made them ineligible for any type of loan. Second, these officials told GAO that some potential beneficiaries were unwilling to participate because they were: (1) mistrustful that such a program would be legitimate; (2) unwilling to take on any debt, regardless of the poor condition of their home; (3) unwilling to move from their current location; or (4) unwilling to take on increases in property taxes resulting from increased home value. Third, they identified challenges that were primarily logistical in nature, such as the need to construct wheelchair ramps or update utilities, which could raise the cost of replacement.
In the three pilot replacement programs GAO examined, the energy savings did not fully offset the costs of replacing older manufactured homes over a typical loan period. The two programs that maintained information on energy use and estimated savings spent an average of about $56,119 per unit to replace each older manufactured home and estimated about $489 in annual energy savings per home. The average cost of replacement homes varied across the three programs GAO examined. The least costly program GAO examined was Montanas, which replaced some older manufactured homes with used, but newer and more energy efficient models, with an average cost of about $42,339 per home. However, state officials told GAO that these replacement programs were not specifically focused on energy savings and that energy efficiency gains were secondary to the health and welfare benefits of getting occupants into safer, more weather-tight manufactured homes.
Why GAO Did This Study
Approximately 2 million of the nations 130 million housing units are manufactured homes (i.e., mobile homes) that were built before 1976. These older manufactured homes are generally considered to have some of the poorest energy efficiency of all housing units. Many of the occupants of these homes qualify for federal assistance to help pay their energy bills through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. A portion of this programs funds can be used to improve the energy efficiency of these homes; however, program funding may not be used for new construction, or replacing existing homes. Some states have conducted pilot programs to replace older manufactured homes with newer, more energy efficient models.
GAO was asked to identify and review state programs and the extent to which they may be cost-effective based on reduced energy costs. For this report, GAOs objectives were to (1) identify states that have funded replacement programs and describe these programs; (2) identify challenges, if any, these states reported facing in implementing these programs; and (3) determine the extent to which these programs resulted in energy savings sufficient to offset replacement costs. To address these objectives, GAO surveyed all 50 states and the District of Columbia, examined data from pilot programs spanning about 2 years, and interviewed officials from three state-based programs.
HHS provided technical and clarifying comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.

About JohnnyParker
I am Johnny Parker and I am 22. I have studied the weather since I was 5. I have cerebral palsy and my goal is to become a meteorologist.
By: JohnnyParker , 1:19 PM GMT on February 15, 2012
Good Morning! At Smithville, MS, the current temperature is 36 and it feels like 36. Highs will continue to range between 56 and 71 with lows between 33 and 56. There is an 80% chance of rain/thunder tonight. A few storms could be strong to severe with the main threat being high winds. Now, for Saturday and this weekend. I have been reading about a surface low pressure system forming over the Gulf and bringing the potential for snow across parts of the South. I'm not too excited about it at all and all we could get out of it is rain, but there is still the potential for some winter weather. Saturdays high is 56 and calls for a 30% chance of a few showers. If we can just get the high temperature to drop some and the precipitation chance to rise, then I can see some accumulation. Of course, this depends on the track of the low, how cold it gets at the surface, position of low, and the timing. Timing is always the key. What do yall think on this? Snow or rain? At the Regional Rehab Center in Tupelo, MS, the current temperature is 41, but it feels like 38. Todays high is 63 with a 30% chance of pm showers. Tonights low is 55 with an 80% chance of rain/thunder. Thursdays high is 63. Hope yall are having a great Wednesday and I'll have another post tomorrow morning. Continue to pray for the tornado victims and those affected by damaging weather events.

The Vatican began a new chapter on Tuesday with scandal-hit cardinal Tarcisio Bertone stepping down as right-hand man to Pope Francis and replaced by veteran diplomat Pietro Parolin.
The reform-minded new Secretary of State comes in as Francis mulls an overhaul of the way the Roman Catholic Church is run that could put an end to what the pope calls a "Vatican-centric" system.
The influential post is frequently referred to as equivalent to that of a Vatican prime minister.
Its incumbent can represent the pontiff on some occasions, and three have gone on to be popes.
Bertone was appointed by the pope's predecessor, Benedict XVI, in 2006 and proved a divisive figure who was disliked by many for his management style.
Top clerics had asked Benedict to dismiss the cardinal, accused of being too authoritarian and too connected with sleazy Italian politics.
A series of leaks of confidential Vatican papers last year by Benedict's personal butler revealed infighting between pro- and anti-Bertone factions.
Bertone's image also suffered because his time in office coincided with a traumatic period for the Vatican, shaken by revelations of widespread child abuse and scandals involving its finances.
Bertone himself lashed out at his critics in September saying he had been the victim of "moles and vipers" in the Vatican system.
"Of course there were a lot of problems, particularly in the last two years, and some accusations were levied against me," Bertone said.
"There was a web of moles and vipers. But this should not darken what I see as a positive overall result.
"We missed some things, also because problems were kept locked away by some people who did not contact the Secretariat of State," he said.
The formal handover of power came in a closed-door Vatican ceremony on Tuesday attended by top officials from the Secretariat of State.
At 58, Parolin is considered relatively youthful for top Vatican office and is the youngest cleric to occupy the post since cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, who went on to become Pius XII in 1939.
Parolin has worked on some of the most sensitive diplomatic issues for the Church, including relations with communist China and with Israel.
"He is an excellent choice, an efficient man, a good negotiator, very balanced," French cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, a former diplomatic chief for pope John Paul II, said on Vatican radio.
Vatican experts said he could also help bolster the Church's international status and give the Secretariat of State a more global outlook.
Parolin was ordained in 1980 and his first foreign posting for the Vatican was in Nigeria in 1986, followed by Mexico in 1989 where he fought to gain legal recognition for the Catholic Church.
In 1992, he was called back to Rome to work for the Secretariat of State and was appointed to a post similar to deputy foreign minister in 2002.
In US State Department cables leaked by WikiLeaks, Parolin was named as a key Vatican go-to contact.
In 2009, he was appointed papal nuncio to Caracas.
Parolin takes over at a time in which the pope is considering a shake-up in the way the Church is governed and a clean-up of its murky finances.
Francis has formed an unprecedented council of eight cardinals from around the world, which held its first meeting this month, to advise him.
In a statement on Tuesday, Francis said that anyone working at the Vatican had to engage in "hard work, professionalism and honest living".

I don't think the '$total += $sub += $F6;' part is doing what you expect it to... Actually, it doesn't add $F6 to both $total and $sub, but rather add it to $sub and then add $sub to $total, which generates a wrong total.

Master of Science in Environmental Health
The MS in Environmental Health prepares graduates to work as program or project managers, staff scientists, and research associates. As awareness of environmental influences on human health increases among policymakers and the public, opportunities for graduates to make a difference are expanding. These opportunities are found in state and federal agencies, town governments, nonprofit organizations, environmental consulting firms, university settings, and industry. Students focus in one of four substantive areas: environmental epidemiology; urban and community health; exposure and risk assessment; or toxicology. The MS program is strongly rooted in the Department of Environmental Health and the School of Public Health and also takes advantage of the rich intellectual community of Boston University to create a deep and flexible curriculum.
Program Competencies
Upon completing the requirements for the MS in Environmental Health, graduates are able to:
- Communicate the basic characteristics of major chemical, physical, and biological hazards and the properties that govern the hazards' behavior in the environment;
- Explain the scientific characteristics (e.g., route of exposure, dose response, mode of action) of major biological, chemical, and physical hazards that result in human health risk;
- Explain and analyze genetic, physiologic, and social factors that affect the susceptibility to adverse health outcomes following exposure to environmental hazards;
- Critically evaluate and interpret the hypothesis, experimental design, methods, and results presented in a paper from a technical journal article in an environmental health discipline (toxicology, epidemiology, exposure assessment);
- Analyze and interpret environmental health data;
- Identify appropriate intervention strategies for specific environmental health problems; and
- Communicate the results of a scientific study in a written and oral format.
MS Requirements
MS candidates must complete a total of 48 credits (12 courses), with a minimum grade of B in each required course. All students complete a common set of seven courses and also take required courses in their chosen area of focused study. Course listings are available in the SPH Bulletin. Additionally, students participate in an integrative experience that has three components: a research or internship experience, a paper in which the student conducts a rigorous analysis of the work conducted, and an oral presentation of the paper in a departmental seminar. The program can be completed in 18 months and must be completed in 5 years.
Eligibility for Admission to the Program
- Applicants should hold a bachelor's degree in a field related to environmental health (i.e., a focused undergraduate program in biology, chemistry, physics, or engineering; or a broader undergraduate program in environmental sciences or public health) or must have completed substantial coursework in one of these fields.
- Official transcripts for all registered coursework from each college or university attended. A high level of past academic performance is expected, particularly in courses within the applicant's undergraduate major or coursework related to environmental sciences or public health. Recommended GPA > 3.2/4.0.
- All candidates will be required to submit GRE scores or MCAT scores that are less than five years old. It is recommended that relevant test scores (verbal, analytic, and quantitative) be above the 60th percentile.

We love the design of both this and the Artistant House sectional (which are pretty much identical) but the only thing we weren't happy about was that the Artistant House listing is for only the White version and while this listing describes a black version the picture provided is of a strange blue shade. We were positive we did not want a white leather couch and decided that since we couldn't find a black sectional in the design we liked that we would go with this one. We were also hoping that since the item number is nearly identical to the Artistant House listing that perhaps this would really be Black Leather but resigned ourselves to expecting the blue in the picture. We were VERY VERY happy when the couch arrived and it was indeed BLACK. It looks great in our living room and we look forward to spending a lot of time relaxing on it watching movies and tv.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? POORLY - Which in our case was exactly what we were hoping. The Sectional is BLACK like in the description vs Blueish-Black like the picture.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This Sectional seems to be constructed very well. It looks great and is amazingly comfortable to lay on.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The dimensions and the description are spot on, however the sectional is actually BLACK, and not the shade of blue in the picture. A more accurate picture is the Black one in the following item - http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Artistant-House-4-piece-White-Leather-Sectional/4806622/product.html
After just a few weeks, the cushions started to collapse and cause pain. After a few months, I'm already researching on how to replace the padding. This couch looks good in the house, but is cheaply made in China. How do I know? Because the manufacturer left trash inside of the couch the rattled when you moved, upon further investigation, I found the trash which was all in Chinese. Save your money and search for a different couch. Although it looks good and the price is great, it'll end up costing more because of the cushions you'll have to replace immediately.
Cheap look and feel--eventually just gave it to Goodwill

HONOLULU - Visitors to Hawaii topped 7 million for the first time last year, and the tourism industry is talking about making the islands a little more exclusive.
An affordable hotel room on Maui, an empty patch of warm sand on Waikiki Beach, a prime tee time on the Big Island - all are becoming more scarce as more tourists flock here in record numbers.
In 2005, the islands welcomed 7,457,297 visitors who spent a record $11.5 billion, according to the latest state figures.
Tourism industry officials, however, warn that Hawaii is at or very close to capacity and are being more selective in attracting those they consider the most desirable tourists.
They're not telling anyone to stay away, but they clearly want more spending without too many more tourists. The visitor count was up 6.7 percent over 2004 when the state just barely missed reaching the 7 million milestone with 6,991,927 visitors.
"Let's put it this way, it's been a good year," said Rex Johnson, president and chief executive officer of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
But Hawaii's target market is shifting toward "activity-seeking travelers" - rich people who golf, spend hours in a spa, island-hop and can afford the overpriced snacks inside a hotel room's mini bar.
Barry Wallace, an executive vice president for hotel operator Outrigger Enterprises, said his company, which operates 22 hotels in Hawaii, is becoming more selective in marketing.
"Our initiative has been to focus on targeting the very, very best guests - the ones who will take advantage of activities and other amenities we have to offer," he said. "That's been the focus of our marketing for the last two years, and it certainly will be from this point forward."
Hawaii's hotel occupancy rate last year was 81.2 percent, second only to New York City at 82.9 percent. Los Angeles was third at 74.6 percent, according to Smith Travel Research.
Hotels on Oahu, most of which are located in Waikiki, were 85.6 percent occupied last year. The rate was lower on other islands, where the most lavish rooms fetch several thousand dollars a night. Luxury hotels on Maui, for example, were 76 percent booked at an average room rate of $319 a night.
"Hotels last year were running as full as they possibly could. There were times in the high season where there was no room at the inn and you couldn't get a room in town," Johnson said. "Given that our capacity is not going to grow by leaps and bounds, we are just about where we're in balance."
Hotel availability is not the only thing that dictates capacity. Everything from available seats on planes to protecting natural resources also are factors, industry officials said.
Too many visitors may not seem like a problem for a state that depends on tourism like no other in the nation. But it can be.
"If you try to stuff too many visitors into this space we have, you begin to be a detriment to your product," Johnson said.
Service begins to suffer and there will be overcrowding at beaches, parks, airports and already congested roadways. Long lines are already the norm at some popular tourist attractions like the USS Arizona Memorial.
More resources such as law enforcement, electricity and water will also be required on islands that are often already stretched thin.
"If we lose this thing called 'aloha,' we're just like any sand-and-surf destination. I don't believe we can afford to go there," Johnson said.
A look at where the state's advertising dollars are being spent shows exactly who Hawaii wants - affluent, active and educated travelers.
The Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau, a private agency hired to market Hawaii to North America, launched a marketing campaign last year to lure "activity-seeking tourists" during the slower fall season.
About $1 million was spent on TV ads, including on the Travel Channel and the Food Network with $200,000 used for online advertising at the Discovery Channel, Forbes and The Wall Street Journal.
Another $100,000 was spent on print ads for The Wall Street Journal, which was the only newspaper selected.
"There's great demand to come to Hawaii from North America right now and what we're looking at, as a marketing agent, is attracting people who are going to have a great experience in Hawaii. We're looking for people who will appreciate what Hawaii has to offer," said Jay Talwar.

Council wants time to consider tax for Montpelier Alive
MONTPELIER The City Council plans to decide Jan. 24 whether to put a new tax on the March ballot that would provide additional funding to Montpelier Alive.
The new funding stream would help with streetscape improvements downtown and expand Montpelier Alives marketing with regional print and radio advertising, extending the organizations marketing to the Montreal area.
Were asking you to actually create a taxing authority to raise the money, Montpelier Alive board member Sarah Jarvis said at Wednesdays council meeting, when the downtown promotion organization first presented the proposal to the council.
Montpelier Alive pressed the council to decide that night whether to endorse the new tax for the March ballot. But the measure was tabled, with Mayor John Hollar citing council member Tom Golonkas absence as a major hold-up. The mayor said the whole council should weigh in.
Jarvis expressed concern that if the council didnt vote that night, the organization wouldnt have time to obtain the nearly 700 signatures needed to put the question to voters in March if the council refused to add it to the ballot.
Hollar warned the nonprofit not to bypass the council with a petition drive. He said the measure should be policy-driven, having the support of the council.
But Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center owner Fred Bashara said the group should gather the necessary signatures, which the council required for Kellogg-Hubbard Library and Green Mountain Transit Agency.
Alan Weiss was the only council member to say he opposed the tax. Hollar suggested hes receptive to the idea but said he would need the entire council to weigh in.
Montpelier Alive would oversee the $75,000 generated by a 4.5-cent increase in the tax rate on certain downtown commercial properties.
Jesse Jacobs of Montpelier Property Management spoke at the meeting, characterizing an implementation of a tax with so many uncertainties as irresponsible. He said he supports improving the downtown but that he could see waiting a year on the measure so more information could be available. The Jacobs family is the biggest landowner in the downtown area.
Others suggested more information is needed about how accountability would be assured and advertising dollars would be tracked to show their effectiveness.
Montpelier Alive does not plan to gather signatures for a petition, Jarvis said Thursday.
Hollar said of the proposal: This is not a huge amount of money, but I think it has the potential to really make a difference.
He also said the council didnt necessarily need to have all the details in place to make a decision.

Thales successfully deploys Link 16 satcom capability
The recent NAWAS and CWIX exercises marked the first successful deployment by French forces of the Thales solution for long-range Link 16 transmission of tactical data via satellite.
During the exercises, the compact, readily deployable TopLink-MINT solution from Thales was used for long-range transmission of tactical situation data to NATO and allied systems, providing an opportunity to:
Global Battlefield Management Systems Market 2016-2020
- demonstrate rapid operational implementation of a Link 16 network extension capability
- validate compliance with the JREAP standard (Joint Range Extension Application Protocol) and its interoperability with NATO and allied systems.
"Thales is proud to have taken part in these exercises, which have successfully demonstrated the excellent performance of our systems and their inherent interoperability in the context of joint and coalition operations involving several nations," said Hervé Derrey, VP for Thales Communications & Security's Radio Communication Products business. "The armed forces now have the assurance that platforms equipped with our solution will deliver the rapid deployability, long-range extension and interoperability they need."

The idea of the promotion was to have celebrities and attendees exposed to both the Wii U and the 3DS in order to help market the products better. The results of the 48 hour Nintendo Wii U challenge were on display as well, which was Nintendo's effort to get popular YouTubers to make videos about Nintendo products. You can check them out below.

Hello world! Come have a bowl of pho with me. Not just any bowl of pho, but one from Pho Chu The in Melbourne, Australia: possibly one of the most hipster pho restaurants you'll ever step into. This place is overflowing in cool, with a young waitstaff well uniformed in cute "What the Pho?" tees and a black lacquered painted wall filled with quirky line art, I kept thinking "this is a Vietnamese pho joint?" But being in the heart of the Vietnamese precinct of Melbourne, this place is guaranteed authentic.
We ordered the usual. I generally get the rare beef and tripe pho, but my mind was a bit lost that day and I ended up ordering the rare beef with tendon. We also got the pho dac biet, which is what I recommend anyone new to pho to order. It basically just has everything in it: beef, beef balls, tendon, and tripe. I also wanted to try their avocado smoothie (a must try!), but unfortunately, they were all out.
We ordered two small bowls, but they made a mistake with the order and gave us a free upgrade to a medium. That was pretty nice! The presentation was lovely, and we were given an ample amount of sprouts, basil and lemon on the side. The pho itself was also very nice! Authentic broth that didn't taste too sweet or too salty (a problem I've been having finding a good pho place in Sydney). The noodles were extremely soft and bouncy, perfectly cooked. The beef was the way beef should be when served with pho, thin thin slices that kind of fall apart. Mmm just like mom makes… well, almost! Yup, that was some good beef noodle soup.

The Suedwestfunk (SWR) and the Mass Storage Systems in its Radio Sound Archives: Concepts and some Performance/Cost aspects
A two-year pilot project performed 1996-1997 at the former Suedwestrundfunk Baden-Baden gave evidence that nowadays digital mass storage technology is available and ready for application in radio sound archives. Based on the findings, its continuation at the recent founded Suedwestrundfunk which came into existence by the merger of SWF Baden-Baden and SDR Stuttgart is described. This new corporation owns three locations of equal importance, each of them having a sound archive in the same order of scale. This caused the problem of whether a decentral mass storage installation should be preferred to a central one. Appropriate solutions are explained and discussed under technical as well as economic aspects.

Celebrity Cruises provides a sophisticated, distinctive experience at sea for virtually every type of traveler. From the deluxe amenities and exclusive treatments provided in the fleet's AquaSpa accommodations, to veranda staterooms offering private balconies and the European butler service that suite guests will enjoy, a Celebrity voyage is truly unforgettable in every way. You'll get an equally memorable deal on these unique cruises when you book with American Airlines Cruises.
Up to 10 restaurants aboard every Celebrity ship ensure that even those with the pickiest of palates will be satisfied onboard, from the innovative sushi lollipops on the iPad menus at Qsine to the grilled steaks that guests can enjoy al fresco at the Lawn Club Grill. Foodies will also delight in enrichment activities like cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, and cocktail mixology seminars.
Entertainment abounds onboard each and every night on Celebrity sailings, with Broadway-style shows, sleek nightclubs, lounges and wine bars, and themed casinos among the exciting offerings that guests can take part in. The fun doesn't stop during the day, either. You can take it easy with a picnic, practice your golf swing, or even try out an interactive jewelry class at the Lawn Club, found on the top deck of Solstice-Class ships. Go for a refreshing swim in one of the outdoor pools, and unwind with afternoon tea and espresso while chatting about the events of the day.
With a wide variety of Celebrity cruises to exciting destinations, in addition to state-of-the-art ships with world-class amenities, the hardest decision may be where to go first! Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, or maybe even the South Pacific? A quick weekend getaway, or a three-week journey? The choice is up to you, but one thing is for sure: American Airlines Cruises has the best prices on your dream sailing, 110% guaranteed.
Forget the backpack, and embark on a Europe Celebrity cruise instead. Not only can you visit several incredible cities while only having to unpack once, but you can look out your window virtually every morning to greet a brand new country. Stroll the streets of Florence, Italy and explore the world-famous, historic duomo. Take in world-class art at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Sample regional varieties of wine in Bordeaux, France, and savor an authentic Mediterranean meal in Mykonos, Greece
The idea of a Caribbean vacation conjures up images of palm trees, sunshine, and turquoise blue waters. Stop daydreaming, and book your Caribbean Celebrity cruise today to experience a tropical paradise. Log in some beach time on one of the many gorgeous stretches of sand in Jamaica, or take a break from the sun in Saint Thomas with a duty-free shopping spree. You can go for a swim among the stingrays on Grand Cayman, and both novice and advanced snorkelers will love going diving in Cozumel.
Are you looking for a different sort of cruising experience? Look no further than an unbelievable Celebrity sailing experience to Hawaii or the South Pacific. Offering the best of the far corners of the world, these luxury adventures usually range between 10 and 12 nights, giving you plenty of time to absorb new cultures, see the sights and completely unwind. Visit the incredible colored-sand beaches of Lahaina, Hawaii, explore the bustling city center of Honolulu, and if your cruise takes you Akaroa, New Zealand, be sure to take a harbor cruise and indulge in the rich French influence on the culture. No matter where you go though, know that Celebrity has something for all ages, and you're sure to sail in both comfort and style.

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Nov 29 - Switzerland's new framework for a bank recovery and resolution regime is one of various measures that should reduce the likelihood that the government would need to bail out failing systemically important banks in case of need, says Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today in the report: "How The Swiss Bank Resolution Regime Affects Government Support For Its Banks.
The regime, implemented at the start of November by the Swiss regulator FINMA, enhances regulatory powers alongside other requirements. Among them are that banks will be required to hold capital well above the prospective minimum proposed under Basel III. Furthermore, the so called "too big to fail" regime sets out additional regulatory requirements for systemically important institutions. This is due to come into force as of Jan. 1, 2013.
"However, the resolution regime may not in itself be sufficient to completely rule out a future banking crisis or entirely remove the potential for systemic contagion," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Dirk Heise. "We therefore currently believe that the resolution framework appears to leave the door open for government support of bank bonds in certain situations, notwithstanding its overall aim of limiting the cost of bank rescues for taxpayers."
For this reason, Standard & Poor's believes the Swiss government is for now unlikely to turn its back on systemically important banks. We therefore continue to factor some uplift in our ratings on certain Swiss banks for the likelihood of extraordinary government support in a potential crisis if we consider the banks systemically important to Switzerland. In contrast to this, our issue ratings on subordinated debt of Swiss banks already don't factor in any government support, owing to wide-ranging "bail-in" and transfer powers provided to the Swiss authorities.
"We'll monitor further developments in Switzerland and revise our assessment of the government's likelihood of providing extraordinary support, if appropriate," said Mr. Heise.

TreeGrid - Manually Resizing Columns Causes Misalignment
I have noticed a column alignment issue when collapsing and then expanding rows in a TreeGrid. If a TreeGrid is expanded and then the user resizes a column manually, upon collapsing and re-expanding, the expanded cells within the column that was resized are drawn in their original position. If the user then attempts to resize the column again, the cells snap back to the correct position. This will continue to happen whenever a column is manually resized and then rows are collapsed and expanded.
I have attached an image to show this issue. The 2nd and 3rd rows under %MV are misaligned with the "%MV" column. If the user manually changes the width of the "%MV" column, the cells (100% values) will snap back to proper alignment. If the user collapses "Total" and then re-expands "Total", the cells will once again be misaligned.
Attachment 20970
The "%MV" column is using a GridCellRendere and the following properties are set for the grid.
TreeGrid<ModelData> grid = new TreeGrid<ModelData>(_Store, cm); /* *********** Grid configuration properties ***************/ grid.setBorders(true); grid.setAutoWidth(true); /* Turn off icons close/open icons */ grid.getStyle().setNodeCloseIcon(null); grid.getStyle().setNodeOpenIcon(null); grid.setAutoHeight(true);

Than is not going to work. You need to correctly size your grid. Also please post a fully working testcase that implements EntryPoint
17 Jun 2010 6:39 AM #3
My mistake, this is an error on my part and not a bug.
In my custom GridCellRenderer "render" method I was overriding the "width:" style property in "config.style" while setting custom styles for each cell in the report. I am now setting "width:" equal to the column width from the grid into the "config.style" and the misalignment no longer is happening.
Sorry for the false alarm.
Paul J.

A couple of weeks ago at TechReady1 in downtown Seattle, Mike Clark gave a presentation on System.Transactions and I had the opportunity to help him out with the hands on lab. During the lab some of the attendants wanted to know how to create a transacted resource. The following is a snippet of a volatile transacted integer. The transacted integer is volatile so it does not perform recovery and it does not deal with asynchronous calls. This snippet is only meant to give a basic understanding of what an enlistment looks like and how it could be used.
namespace ResourceManager{ using System; using System.Collections; using System.Text; using System.Transactions;
public class TxInt { private int livevalue; private Hashtable enlistmentTable = new Hashtable();
public TxInt() { } public TxInt(int value) { livevalue = value; }
public int val { get { return GetValue(); }
set { SetValue(value); } }
private void SetValue(int value) { Transaction tx; TxTmpValue enlistment;
// Get current transaction tx = Transaction.Current;
// If none -- set the real value if (tx == null) { livevalue = value; return; }
// Check if already enlisted for that transaction enlistment = (TxTmpValue)enlistmentTable[tx]; if (enlistment == null) { // If not -- create an enlistment structure enlistment = new TxTmpValue(this, tx);
// Enlist with TM tx.EnlistVolatile(enlistment, EnlistmentOptions.None); enlistmentTable.Add(tx, enlistment); }
enlistment.val = value; }
private int GetValue() {
Transaction tx; TxTmpValue enlistment;
// If none -- return live value if (tx == null) return livevalue;
// Running under a transaction context enlistment = (TxTmpValue)enlistmentTable[tx]; if (enlistment == null) return livevalue;
return enlistment.val; }
// Called when the transaction is committed internal void CommitTransaction(int val, Transaction tx) { // Set the live value livevalue = val;
// Remove the state associated with the transaction enlistmentTable.Remove(tx); }
// Called when the transaction is aborted internal void AbortTransaction(Transaction tx) { // Remove the state associated with the transaction enlistmentTable.Remove(tx); } }
internal class TxTmpValue : IEnlistmentNotification { internal int val; // Holds the temporary value
TxInt parent; //Pointer to the 'real' value Transaction tx; //Transaction it is enlisted in
public TxTmpValue(TxInt p, Transaction t) { parent = p; tx = t; }
void IEnlistmentNotification.Commit(Enlistment enlistment) { parent.CommitTransaction(val, tx); enlistment.Done(); }
void IEnlistmentNotification.InDoubt(Enlistment enlistment) { enlistment.Done(); }
void IEnlistmentNotification.Prepare(PreparingEnlistment preparingEnlistment) { preparingEnlistment.Prepared(); }
void IEnlistmentNotification.Rollback(Enlistment enlistment) { parent.AbortTransaction(tx); enlistment.Done(); } }}
The TxInt class is a transacted integer. We are defining two constructors and a property called val that you can Get and Set.
The livevalue integer represents the current value for the integer when it is accessed outside of a Transaction. The enlistmentTable is a standard hash table that will hold the integer values that are Set under Transactions.
TxTempValue is a class that derives from IEnlistmentNotification that can enlist in a transaction. This class enlists in the transaction and stores the temporary value of the integer for a given transaction. So when a user tries to set the value of a TxInt object within a transaction, a TxTmpValue object will be created that stores the value of the integer temporarily until the transaction completes.
IEnlistmentNotification contains four methods (Prepare, Commit, Rollback, and InDoubt). When you enlist in a Transaction, you pass in an object that implements this interface. When Commit() is called on the CommittableTransaction, all enlistments will be asked to prepare. This is done by the TransactionManager calling Prepare on all of the enlistments. When an enlistment is done preparing, it calls back Prepared() or ForceRollback(). Since our example does not do any work in Prepare, we always return Prepared. Once the Transaction has completed, it will notify the enlistments by calling either Commit, Rollback or InDoubt, depending on the outcome of the Transaction. In our example, we call AbortTransaction or CommitTransaction methods on the TxInt depending on the Transaction outcome.
SetValue() takes an integer and sets it as the current transacted integer value. If SetValue is not called under a Transaction, it simply sets livevalue to the value passed in where it becomes the immediate value of the transacted integer. If there is a Transaction in Transaction.Current, it will associate the value passed in with an enlistment, so that when the Transaction is Committed or Aborted, the enlistment can update livevalue appropriately. SetValue checks the enlistment hash table to see if it has already created an enlistment for this Transaction. If it has, it resets enlistment.val to the new value passed in. If not, it will create a new enlistment object (TxTmpValue), add it to the enlistment table, and then enlist in the transaction with this new enlistment object.
GetValue() returns the current value of the transacted integer. If there is no ambient transaction when Get is called, it returns the livevalue. Otherwise, it checks to see if there are any enlistments associated with the Transaction. If there is an enlistment, it returns the value associated with the enlistment because that is the current value until the Transaction commits or aborts
CommitTransaction takes the value that was stored by the enlistment and sets it as the livevalue. It then removes the enlistment from the hash table because the Transaction is completed and will not be used again.

Lakeland City Commission
Changes in Lakeland Electric Bills Approved
Published: Monday, September 17, 2012 at 9:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 17, 2012 at 9:27 p.m.
LAKELAND | Utility customers received a little good news and a little bad news about their electric bills on Monday.
In other action Monday, commissioners:
Recognized Monday as Anne Furr Day. Furr, the director of the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority, will retire this year.
Celebrated the Lakeland Flying Tigers' first Florida State League championship in 20 years.
Recognized International Day of Peace. The Rev. Rob Moses of St. David's Episcopal Church received a proclamation from Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields.
Approved zoning for a new wine bar downtown next to Bay Street Bistro. The bar is expected to open in mid to late November.
Voted 7-0 for the expansion of membership to the Downtown Community Redevelopment Area advisory board.
Voted 6-1 for an extension to a franchise agreement with Peoples Gas. Commissioner Justin Troller voted against the motion. He said the 15-year agreement was too long. In addition, Troller said the city should receive a higher franchise fee from Peoples than 6 percent.
Voted 6-1 to add members to the Mayor's Council on Arts. Commissioner Keith Merritt voted against the motion. Merritt said he was concerned that the arts community will only see the mayor as a point of contact for arts instead of each commissioner.
The good news: Commissioners voted 6-0 to decrease the environmental fee by 4 percent, from $2.45 per 1,000 kilowatt-hours to $2.34.
The bad news: Commissioners voted 4-2 to increase the fuel rate by 1 percent, from $42.30 per 1,000 kilowatt-hours to $42.80.
The new rates start Oct. 1.
Commissioners Justin Troller and Howard Wiggs voted against the fuel rate increase. Commissioner Keith Merritt was absent.
The fuel rate increase was the second this year.
City commissioners voted in June to increase the rate by 10 percent. That was the first fuel rate increase in a year.
On Monday, Troller and Utility Committee member Terry Simmers wanted to maintain the current rate, while utility officials pushed for a 2 percent, or 90 cent, increase.
Don Eckert, finance director for Lakeland Electric, said a hot summer across the nation and more utilities switching from coal to natural gas units caused more demand and an increase in natural gas prices from three months ago.
The first vote on fuel rates, which included utility committee members, was a 5-5 tie. Commissioner Edie Yates then proposed the 1 percent increase, which passed.
"Why don't we just leave it alone," Simmers said before the first vote. "This is a forecast, and he (Eckert) has forecasted a lot of negative possibilities."
The utility would still be over-recovered if commissioners decided not to vote for an increase, Simmers said.
Yates said the utility faced more risks than a year ago if there weren't a fuel rate increase.
"Our risk is a lot higher with all the things going on with transmission lines," Yates said. "We may have to make a substantial adjustment."
"I think voting for no increase right now is just not prudent," Yates said.
"We have so many what-ifs."
Yates was referring to work by the Orlando Utility Commission on transmission lines that run from the McIntosh Power Plant in Lakeland to a substation off Interstate 4 north of Auburndale.
Both utilities use the transmission lines.
While they are out of service, Lakeland Electric can't bring in outside power from a pool that it is part of along with other utilities.
The vote to decrease the environmental fee was unanimous.
"We are projecting very little capital expenditures and regulatory risk," Eckert said of upcoming environmental charges.

While a great deal of abuse has been directed at intelligent design theory (ID), its starting point is a fact about biological organisms that cries out for explanation, namely "specified complexity" (SC). Advocates of ID deploy three kind of argument from specified complexity to the existence of a designer: an eliminative argument, an inductive argument, and an inference to the best explanation. Only the first of these merits the abuse directed at it; the other two arguments are worthy of respect. If they fail, it is only because we have a better explanation of SC, namely Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

Mendenhall Glacier area sees at least 6 rescues
Blue skies illuminate the Mendenhall Glacier on Friday, June 27, 2014 . There have been at least six rescues in Juneau's Mendenhall Glacier recreation area this year, including the helicopter evacuation of an injured woman on June 25. (AP Photo/The Juneau Empire, Marlena Sloss)
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — There have been at least six rescues in Juneau's Mendenhall Glacier recreation area this year, including the helicopter evacuation of an injured woman last week.
The woman, who was part of a university [auth] student group doing studies on the ice, lost her footing and twisted her ankle Wednesday, fire marshal Dan Jager with Capital City Fire Rescue said.
"She and another person went away from the rest of the group on a slight slope. When they turned around to come back, she had slipped and slid down the ice," Jager told the Juneau Empire (http://bit.ly/1pQ9Qjb ) in an email. "Her crampon caught a rock or piece of ice, and that impact is what caused the ankle injury."
So far this season, Capital City Fire Rescue has responded to at least five other rescues in the recreational area, which is popular for kayaking, hiking and exploring on the glacier. Three of the rescues occurred within 24 hours in early June.
On June 6, a water-rescue call on the Mendenhall River was followed by a call about a woman who injured her leg while belaying down the glacier as part of a guided tour. Also that day, a kayaker on Mendenhall Lake overturned and suffered hypothermia while awaiting rescue.
Capital City Fire Rescue also responded to injured hikers on the nearby West Glacier trail on May 24 and June 2. Juneau Mountain Rescue found a hiker who got lost on that trail in early May.
The U.S. Forest Service, on its website for the trail, estimates 10-12 hikers a year are rescued from the West Glacier trail system, with 75 percent of those injured.

Optimal Hierarchical Bandwidth Limitation of Surround Sound
In order to save the transmission bandwidth of surround sound, a technique named Hierarchical Bandwidth Limitation (HBL) was proposed by the authors. In HBL, a psychoacoustically hierarchical transform is used as the preprocessing algorithm prior to bandwidth limitation. In our former experiments we found that the Karhunen-L¨°eve transform (KLT) is a suitable hierarchical transform for HBL. Besides the hierarchical transform, the choice of an appropriate strategy for bandwidth allocation is also essential from the point of view of the resultant audio quality. In order to find the optimal bandwidth allocation strategy that achieves the best audio quality, the authors attempted to build up the mathematical relationship between audio quality and the bandwidth allocation strategy using a MUSHRA listening test. The experiment design and results are reported in this paper.
