Global Effort in Haiti Turns Focus to Rebuilding Economy
Leaders at Davos Will Seek to Galvanize Businesses to Invest in the Quake-Devastated Nation
As search-and-rescue teams head home after abandoning the search for survivors in the ruins of earthquake-shattered Haiti, international efforts are beginning to build a future for an economy that was the poorest in the Western Hemisphere even before the disaster.
The reconstruction of the Haitian economy will be the subject of a meeting of leading government donors in Montreal on Monday and at the forefront of discussions at the annual gathering this week of political and business leaders from around the world in Davos, Switzerland.
The meeting Monday in Montreal, called by the Canadian government in the city which is home to an estimated 100,000 expatriate Haitians, will bring together more than a dozen foreign ministers with officials from the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations and other international organizations.
At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, which has been held in the Alpine ski resort for 40 years, the emphasis will be on galvanizing international businesses to invest in an economy they largely shunned during the global investment boom of the last decade.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive are among those expected to attend the Montreal meeting described by one international official as "a stock-taking session." The meeting is likely to be a precursor for a more formal donors' conference.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF managing director, called last week for a new Marshall Plan for Haiti, evoking the U.S reconstruction effort in Europe after World War II. The World Bank estimates that in 2008 Haiti's annual average income per person was just $660, ranking it 180th among 210 economies.
As efforts continue to provide emergency relief to keep people alive, IMF staff are already in Haiti making preliminary assessments of needs, and have been working with the central bank to restart the banking and payments systems to help people gain access to cash.
The IMF has pledged a $100 million loan but officials say it is too early to estimate the final reconstruction bill, which could run into billions of dollars.
At Davos, the focus will be more on the private sector and how business can help Haiti over the long term by boosting investment. Former U.S. president Bill Clinton, a special U.N. envoy for Haiti, and Helen Clark, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, will address a specially arranged session on Thursday.
Klaus Schwab, chairman and WEF founder, said last week that he hoped the Haiti discussions would "would present a major common effort to the world community showing true corporate global citizenship in Davos."
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has called for an international campaign to reconstruct the Haitian economy after the earthquake, will open the conference Wednesday.
Pledges of relief help to provide food, shelter and medicines from governments and private citizens and companies have so far exceeded more than $200 million. According to the Haitian government, the earthquake killed more than 110,000 people and injured nearly 200,000.

Hello to all Eurobricks members and avid Pirates' Fans,
For most of our friends in other regions such as US and Europe, I am sure you have enjoyed a fair share of excitement for this highly anticipated Pirates theme this year. For collectors in Asia, we managed to see these awesome Pirate sets only at the start of this month which is quite a long wait since it was release late December. With that in mind, I will like to express my thoughts that I am extremely excited to see such a long awaited theme re-appeared once again to satisfy the hearts and minds for avid Pirates' collectors.
Name: Cannon Battle
Theme: LEGO System / Pirates
Year: 2009
Pieces: 45
Minifigs: 2
Price: USD$5.99, GBP 3.89, SGD$12.90
Resources: Brickset, Peeron

Loud bangs can be heard at the faraway coastal lands, where sounds of cannon balls are shot towards hostile pirates' ships and crew. With its signature iconic firm design structure, this is where the Imperial Royal Navy shall make its stand with its invincible Cannons that are one of the winning determinants in both naval and land battles.
This small Cannon Battle set is indeed a dream come true for many army builders to build upon a large vassal of Cannon Squadron or Battalion within the ranks of the Imperial Royal Navy for an affordable price. It comes with wide range of accessories and allowing collectors to expand both sides' personnel at the same time. This is definitely one of the great ways to conscript your Imperial Soldiers or Pirate Crew.
Instruction Manual and Contents polybags
This is a section of the 6239 Instruction manual, which depict building instructions for the Stone Wall defense. There is two sealed polybags inside the box. As you can see, the smaller fragile elements are placed at the smaller bag.
Useful parts and accessories
Now, let's take a closer look on what this Cannon Battle set offers in terms of its accessories. There are many useful parts and accessories which deserved to be highlighted in this picture. In one set, you are able to own distinct looking cannon that have a great playing feature which will be discussed below.
Green lovers will definitely love to get a chance to own these 1x1 rounds with 3 bamboo leaves. Weapons and clothing such as two blue epaulettes, brown musket and two cutlasses are useful accessories for your minifigs. The fire stick is made up of new elements which consist of the flame and spy glass. This fire stick does provide a very useful way of igniting the cannon. Lastly, a printed Indiana Jones map which was first released in the 7620 Motorcycle Chase and it's now widely used in the Pirates theme.
Spare parts
The remaining spare parts consist of the following above. There is nothing special about the additional boost of parts, except for the blue epaulette and cutlass.
Notice something unusual?
Take a careful look at both set of minifigs' illustration. There is something unusual on their appearance. Apparently, both of their faces are swapped in the instruction manual. Well, I am sure buying multiple sets in general will lead us to modify their appearance accordingly to make them look least generic.
Cannon mechanism?
I am getting excited over such a small playing feature above. Yes, this is my very first cannon. I don't have earlier cannon that were released during the days of Classic Pirates and were unable to provide a comparison. However, I am very fascinated by its cannon mechanism which allow us to pull back the handle and upon release, a 1x1 round brick will be shot out of the barrel. IMHO, this is way much better and fun compared to those flicking fire missiles in Castle and Star Wars.
Take a look at our participants in this fearsome duel
Look at the both of them. Aren't they fearsome looking? Indeed they are, the Pirate is your regular crewmate that participates in the 6240 Kraken Attackin' and 6243 Brickbeard's Bounty. I do like the Pirate's head appearance due to its clean looks. Well, his appearance looks less rugged that your typical pirates, even with its moustache around his cheek.
On the right side, you can see a typical soldier that is widely available and common in the Imperial Royal Navy. I am not fond of his appearance as it looks least generic and does not appeal to me to apply it for army building. The Imperial Red coat uniform is standard across the Imperial Royal Navy, but that is one missing accessories for these soldier. It is the backpack. Unlike the 8396 Soldier's Arsenal that includes the backpack for the soldier to carry which will make it much complete compared with this version. With such arrangement, I will need to create another battalion for soldiers solely without backpack. Both minifigs has printed designs at the back.
A puny wall for our Pirate's defense
This is a puny defense concrete wall that is used by our Pirates to hide safely behind enemy bombardments, but is it truly safe haven? Look at the two sections that include some gray bricks and plants parts to form the base, while loose gray parts combined together to form the upper section. Looks to me, this wall is rather brittle looking. We shall see how it performs at the bottom coverage.
Imperial Soldier sends in fire power
Lining up in battle formation, the Cannon Squadron is in place and ready for firing by our Imperial Firing Soldier or you can consider it as your artillery gunner. The majestic grand looking cannon is resting at the wheel carriage, leaving its rounds in the back for reload. I like this design very much, and it sure looks nice when you line up a dozen of cannons in one single row.
The battle shall begins
With the devastating demonstration of the cannon power, it penetrates through the concrete walls and cripples the pirate's movement and lowering its morale. The upper section serves as a playable feature for the cannon battle scene which I find it very fun to play with.
The winning edge over the high seas
This is definitely one of the best Pirate battlepack sets ever, which is equivalent to the Castle 7090 Crossbow Attack. This set allows army builders to amass Cannons, Imperial Soldiers and Pirate Crew all at one go for an affordable price, filled with many accessories and parts for us to break it up and store in our bins for future usage and modification. The key highlight for this set is definitely marketed to provide a cheaper alternative for collectors to acquire cannons in a small sized set rather than a medium sized set. Despite of the lack of backpack and some very minor letdowns, I am very pleased with its overall aesthetic concept and design.
Summary review
Playability: 9.5/10 (Very fun to play with, such as pulling the cannon.)
Design: 9/10 (Design consideration are very good such as the cannon and concrete wall. Very minor flaws.)
Price: 9/10 (Price is affordable, but it will be better if its a dollar lower from its usual price.)
Overall: 9.2/10 (A great set to buy multiple for army builders.)
I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours?
Hope everyone of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Critics are strongly welcomed.

I like getting one soldier, one pirate, and some little pieces I can just throw in with my mixed bricks.
I also and a HUGE fan of the new firing cannons! The old firing cannons NEVER worked! These new ones can blow stuff up across the room! As Borat would say, "VERY NICE!"

Well, the 42 old firing cannons I have fire just as well and as far across the room as the one from this set, no problems there...?
What still puzzles me about the new pirateline is the amount of cannonballs supplied. Every set including a cannon gives us two balls instead of six in all the other piratesets starting from 1989. It doesn't really matter to me because my supply of 1x1 round bricks is extensive, but I still wonder....
Anyway, thanks for the review!

Hi there, let me start by saying your dev team is a godsend when it comes to this plug-in. It has saved me HOURS of manual customization so much thanks!
Currently I have all my posts set up with the rule 'Ad - Left of Post Content'.
I have now incorporated a Table of Contents plugin that I would like to appear immediately below the post title and directly above the post content (including the wrapped adsense block).
However, no matter what I do, the Table of Contents box will appear above the post content but always to the right of the Adsense block. i.e. The 'Ad- Left of Post Content' is treating the Table of Contents as part of what it needs to be left aligned to.
Is there a way to make it so that the Table of Contents will appear above the Ad as opposed to next to it?
Thank you in advance guys!

Range Extender
When it comes to a cordless phone's range, longer is definitely better. The new Range Extender feature, included with select 2010 models or sold separately as an accessory, addresses this need by doubling the effective transmission distance between the base unit and the cordless handset when compared with previous models. Now you can take your conversations farther.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cs Excellent product and does with it says well Excellent product and does with it says well. Gross improvement. Why doesn't the base simply do this? July 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LA Lori A Pleasant Surprise! So many products these days don't do what they are supposed to... but this one actually did! Since my parents' phones didn't have a very good range (and they are always outside in the garden), we decided to give it a try. My 80-year-old, non-tech Dad was able to set the product up with no problems (he just followed he instruction manual), and now he and my Mom can answer the phone and enjoy chit-chatting from their garden. They are very happy and so am I. It was worth the money for sure! I would recommend giving it a try. :) July 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by George My Review this product was as advertised. Prompt delivery. Installation was simple and fast. It appears to work as advertised. I would consider this purchase again. June 1, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jerry Very good I have own previous Panasonic cordless handset for several years, which worked very good but I needed upgrade. I am very happy with this purchase. March 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Millstone Bill The perfect add-on to my KX-TGA680 system! This device did a super job of extending the range of my system. We are happy with the purchase. The item was shipped fast and packed right. My only advice to new buyers is to follow the instructions. You may have to punch the "Locator Intercom" button on your base station a few times till the amplifier is added to the network and both of the lights turn green. Be patient, the results are worth it! March 10, 2016

Comparisons and nicknames are two longstanding traditions of football fiends. We love making them, and we love giving them. Already this season, we've heard some inspired banter. Is Jahvid Best the next Barry Sanders? Can anyone escape (a healthy) Revis Island? Given this custom of creativity, I believe it's time to start crafting something for the league's most rapidly rising star, Clay Matthews III.
Matthews doesn't have a sanctioned nickname so far, but the sheer speed and hostility of his game merits one. I've heard that he's fond of "The Claymaker," which is admittedly pretty sweet. I'm throwing out "CM3" as my initial and somewhat lazy attempt. I ask my fervent fellow defensive nerds to help in this process if compelled to do so. We must consider that it's not too often that an amazingly strong and fast specimen with Thor-like locks takes the sport by storm. To put Matthews' torrid start into perspective, he needs to averageonly one sack per game in his final 14 games to hit 20. Notice how I said only one per game, that's the type of play we're seeing right now from Matthews, in which a sack per is apparently realistic. It must be mentioned that while he's on a "Strahanian" pace, Matthews is somehow available in over 30 percent of ESPN leagues. Dash, like CM3 would, to roster this monster.
Front Four: The weekly word on the world of defenders
Wake Up: Here are a few versatile outside linebacker commodities that the individual defensive players (IDP) community should stop sleeping on. The Dolphins Cameron Wake leads this section because the wordplay was simply there for the taking, and I'm somewhat of a hack. That said, Wake has been collapsing pockets regularly this young season, and he should enjoy rare freedom to continue to do so because opponents must focus on his colleague Karlos Dansby. Similar to Wake, Oakland's Kamerion Wimbley isn't to be relied on for healthy tackle numbers but rather his penchant for getting to the quarterback. This week is as good as any to plug Wimbley into lineups in deep leagues, as he should have several chances to corral Derek Anderson. Minnesota's E.J. Henderson not only made a miraculous and speedy recovery from a gruesome leg injury suffered late last season but is ably manning the middle of the field for the Vikings. For a blend of tackles and the occasional big plays, Henderson is an ideal addition in the 70 percent of leagues where he remains available.
Cut Bait or Wait: Disappointed owners of David Harris, Eric Weddle, D.J. Williams and any unproductive expensive draft commodities need to strike a balance between being patient and progressive. By this I mean that while you should be patient with these talents, you should be on the hunt for depth and/or potential replacements over the next few weeks. Patience, in fantasy, seems to have an expiration date. It's nearly impossible to find the precise time in which to move on from an unproductive big investment, but with some insurance on your roster you will be better served than merely waiting. This might not come off as the most lucid pitch, but the idea is that you, the manager of your team, need to make tough decisions from time to time. In the end, returns can stem from the moves you make.
Secondary Sleepers: It often appears that every defensive position is fairly fickle from season to season in terms of consistent production, but defensive back is particularly inconsistent in this sense. At the end of each campaign, we seem to be looking at an almost entirely new crop of elite performers atop the fantasy leaderboard than in the beginning. Given this reality, I thought it would help to throw out some names of early upstarts for those struggling to cement their secondary. We'll start with Cleveland safety T.J. Ward. He has put up double-digit tackles in each of these first two weeks. Cleveland's front seven regularly allows ball carriers into the secondary, but Ward will be there to clean up for them. Miami's Jason Allen is finally making good on the hype his draft status earned him with a nice blend of tackles, passes defended and interceptions. Continue to keep an eye out for Arizona's Greg Toler, as the targets will keep coming his way. There are few better corners to target than San Diego's Antoine Cason, who is the player responsible for making Antonio Cromartie expendable.
Fantasy Factory: To be a linebacker for the Steelers means that you are a top fantasy commodity, or at least it seems that way. Apologies to James Farrior, who had a considerable stretch of statistical awesomeness, but it seems that Lawrence Timmons has taken the torch as the next tackle-machine for the black and gold. No doubt that James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley continue to be menacing predators that keep quarterbacks and slot receivers up on Saturday nights, but Timmons is regularly proving the be the first guy to the ball for Mike Tomlin's aggressive downhill defense. If you are sitting on a struggling Harris or an injured Paul Posluszny, I advise going out and acquiring Timmons, especially in the 60 percent of leagues in which he remains available with the mere click of an "add" symbol.
IDP Rankings Week 3: The Top 10 linebackers, linemen and defensive backs
So that we're working from agreed parameters, we'll use what many consider traditional scoring modifiers for an IDP league: Tackle - Solo (0.5), Tackle - Assist (0.25), Sack (3), Interception (3), Forced fumble (3), Fumble recovery (3), Touchdown (6), Safety (2), Pass defended (1), Blocked kick (2).
Defensive linemen
Defensive Backs
Bargain Bin: Worthy defenders available in more than half of ESPN leagues
This is part promise, part threat, but all true: Daryl Smith will be mentioned in this section for as long as he's criminally under-owned. ... The question Titans fans, possibly Titans coaches and definitely fantasy owners are currently asking: Is Jason Babin for real? My answer is, not really. While the tweener is enjoying a great start to the season, we must consider that his snaps are up because of injuries on the line, and he's limited against the run. The deep line in Tennessee will see the production spread around this season. ... Carolina's outside 'backer James Anderson has been a revelation so far with rare production from the strong side. ... Washington's Rocky McIntosh merits ownership in nearly every format, because he's capably tallying tackles in his new inside role on the Redskins' savvy 3-4 scheme. ... The Giants' Jonathan Goff and Michael Boley should enjoy some nice numbers chasing down Chris Johnson and the short passing game of Tennessee. Be aware that Boley is subject to being taken off the field if the Giants go into their "Big Base" package, which shifts Mathias Kiwanuka from end to Boley's outside spot.
Seth in St. Louis: I'm in a league where you're forced to start one defensive tackle; can you give me your top 5 at the position? Every major site ranks defensive lineman as a group but I haven't found a strict tackle ranking anywhere yet.
Jim: Hey Seth, I hear what your saying. I think the lack of resources and information for tackles is comparable to the interest in the position. I also play in a few leagues that specifically start the position, but from what I gather it's not a common element of IDP leagues. I'll try from time to time to update my take on these big boys. For now, I'd say that Darnell Dockett is the top guy to target. His production has been steady for years now and he's the rare tackle that can turn in a huge multi-sack outing. Ndamukong Suh is a close second at the position. I've watched his first two games, and the ground he covers and the leverage he uses is amazing. Watching the goal line stand against the Bears in Week 1 is proof of his impact. Baltimore's Haloti Ngata is a nice source for tackles and the rare sack or fumble. Minnesota's Kevin Williams was an amazing fantasy source earlier in his career and remains a nice option for tackles and the occasional big game. I'd keep an eye on Kansas City's emerging Glen Dorsey, the player that was originally supposed to have Suh's level of impact on the field. Finally, I'd consider Tennessee's Tony Brown. If he's healthy, Brown and the Jets' Sione Pouha have sound potential to produce.

BOSTON (AP) — The overall profitability of Massachusetts hospitals improved last year, but 11 of the 64 still lost money, according to a new state report.The 2013 fiscal year report released Wednesday by the Center for Health Information and Analysis said the total margin of Massachusetts hospitals — the percentage of revenues exceeding expenses — climbed to 4.1 percent in the period ending Sept. 30, from 3.8 percent a year earlier.The margin increased to 4.6 percent from 3.6 percent at the state's six academic medical centers.But at 23 hospitals that serve a disproportionate number of Medicaid and Medicare patients, the margin fell to 3.6 percent from 5.6 percent."It's clear this was a good year for hospitals, but there was a lot of variation," Aron Boros, the center's executive director, told The Boston Globe. "When you look at the hospitals that have negative margins, they are the hospitals that have had strains over the years."The state's most profitable hospital was Boston Children's Hospital, which earned $157.7 million.The largest loss, $20.3 million, was posted by North Shore Medical Center in Salem.Five profitable hospitals registered non-operating gains, from investments and other activities that offset operating losses.The report understates the financial pressures on hospitals, said Tim Gens, executive vice president of the Massachusetts Hospital Association, citing government reimbursement cuts, a decrease in inpatient volume, and a push to reduce medical expenses."What the margins don't tell you is the age of the facilities, their debt service, their access to capital, their cash on hand — all these are examples of the measures you have to pay attention to if you manage hospitals," he said.

Changes coming to mining barges and exhumers in EVE Online
CCP has announced plans to revamp the mining barges and exhumers in EVE Online this summer. According to a blog post on the matter, players can expect a new mining frigate and the current mining frigates will no longer be mining frigates once the update releases. Other changes include a reduced skill requirements for barges and exhumers. "The goal here is to allow players to choose a barge that fits their specific play style rather than lead them on a journey from the worst barge to the best one," said CCP. Read the entire thing through the link. Thanks, Massively.

Learn multimedia skills, online, on your own
Paul Conley provides a lovely list — with proper links — telling us where to go "to learn the skills of multimedia journalism."
My emphasis [is] on free or inexpensive resources that allowed journalists to teach themselves…. a quick and updated list of resources for multimedia 101.
He left out one great one: Make Internet TV.
And while I used to sing the praises of Bloglines, I have pretty much abandoned that; I switched to Google Reader instead.

Storytelling about soldiers, and audio interviews
Thinking about doing more audio slideshows in your newsroom? There's lots to discuss in this new package from MSNBC.com — Scars from Iraq (also titled "The War After the War").
First, there are three different stories about three soldiers who have returned from duty in Iraq. Which story is most interesting to you, and why?
Second, there's the quality of the audio. Technically, all are very good. But more than that, you should think about how a reporter gets this sustained audio from an interview subject. What kinds of questions were asked? Do you know how to get someone to talk at length? Do you know how to listen? Do you know how to send visual cues so that you never need to say "Uh huh" to encourage the speaker? Do you know how to edit this kind of interview? Would these stories be better with nat sound?
Finally, the presentation. Does anyone feel like clicking those labeled buttons on the left? If not, then why are they there at all? Do you want a timer so you know how long each story is? Are you content to sit back and let all three stories run on autoplay? Are the stories too long? Is the package too long?
I've seen a lot of stories about soldiers who have come home. There will be more. I think we should think about how we tell these stories, and why people want to hear them. Why are these three stories different from others you have seen and heard? And if you're going to report one of these stories, what can you learn from the ones that have been told before?

Awesome video advice you can learn from
No surprise that the advice is coming from Angela Grant (at her cool new site, News Videographer). But she's telling a reporter — yes, the non-visual, word and text-typing kind — exactly how to think about video storytelling. With no jargon. I love Angela!

So you want to become a video journalist?
A student who will graduate this Saturday came to see me earlier this week. She wasn't a journalism student, but she has decided she wants to be an independent video journalist. From me she wanted advice: How should she create a Web site to accomplish her goal?
Does she know any HTML? No. Has she taken any of the university's courses that include Web design and production information? No. And she's less than a week away from graduating.
You can just imagine how many varied thoughts flew through my head.
But you know, I did not want to tell her: "Don't do it." Maybe it's a crazy idea, but maybe not. She took the time to make an appointment and come to meet with me. She seemed sincere and intelligent. And … she already knows how to shoot and edit video. She's had some training in that.
The advice I gave her: Start a free blog on either Blogger.com or WordPress.com. She will need to research how to compress and upload her video, but she can start by simply putting it on YouTube. She can embed her YouTube Videos directly on her blog posts.
If she decides she wants to continue this project, she can start her own video channel on Revver or Magnify or Blip.tv.
What she absolutely should not do is wait. She should not wait to read a fat, fat book about HTML. She should not wait until her boyfriend or someone else "builds a Web site" for her. She should not plan, design and build a vast Web site with multiple sections and features.
Why not? She's only one person, first. She doesn't know anything at all about HTML, second. And third, if she did all that, she might end up with a big empty Web site that looks great but has no content.
Her idea is to produce content — video journalism. She already knows how to do that. Well, the best advice I could give her, or you, or anybody, is — START RIGHT NOW.
Don't wait until you have read that fat book, for heaven's sake! Stop waiting. Just sit down and begin. If you run into a dead end, THEN open the fat book and consult the index.
There's a manufacturing strategy or system called "just in time" that, back in the 1980s, was credited with the rising success of the Japanese auto makers. The idea behind "just in time," or JIT, is that you don't waste resources by first stocking a big warehouse and then starting production afterward. JIT means you set up reliable systems and lines of communications so that the auto parts you need for the assembly line arrive days or hours before they are needed. Less warehouse space needed, lower financial overhead, the ability to change quickly — it was more efficient. It crushed the U.S. auto industry because it was a better system.
In software and Web application design (as well as manufacturing), a related idea is rapid prototyping. An apt example of that: You're supposed to create a demo, and you decide to learn a new technology to get it done. BAD IDEA!
The point is, if you can get something moving without months of development work, then you can quickly see whether it works, how it works — and adapt.
If you spend lots of time and money developing a new thing and then find out it does not work — all that time and money were wasted.
Moreover, given human nature, you will probably continue to support that bad product for longer than you ought to — because of all the resources you invested in it.
If you start a free blog and after a few months it still has no audience, it's really no big deal to quit. Or change it.
So stop waiting until you read that book or take that class. Just start doing what you have in mind. Small investment, small risk. Small failures are not so bad, in every way imaginable.
So don't tell anyone, "You can't do that." Instead, encourage them to start small — and start now.

No-Fear Guide to Multimedia Skills
I will be at the National Writers Workshop in Wichita, Kansas, on May 19. I'll be doing a 90-minute presentation called "The No-Fear Guide to Multimedia Skills." Since this is a writers workshop, my session is going to be very much about how you can do it right now: audio, Soundslides, video.
But more interesting to me is the last-minute addition of Robert Bowman, editor in chief of the Virginia Tech Collegiate Times (he was one of two managing editors until last week). He will be interviewed on Saturday by Joe Hight, president of the Executive Committee of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma and managing editor of The Oklahoman (Oklahoma City).
This is a pretty inexpensive training opportunity: $75 for professionals and $40 for students. The professional rate will go up to $85 after May 11. And there are student scholarships! So if you live in the middle of the U.S., try to join us. Kevin McGrath, the assistant metro editor/nights at The Wichita Eagle, has put together a great lineup of speakers for two days (see the Wichita NWW page for a complete list).
National Writers Workshops are held at several locations year-round across the U.S.

Screen Design 101: New York Times Slideshow
So, you have decided to venture out beyond Soundslides and design an original interface for your site's slideshows (or videos). Let's take a look at a good example from The New York Times. Amazing Girls is a package of five audio slideshows that accompanied a text story about high-achieving students at Newton North High School, near Boston.
I've long admired how the typical Times design gives full emphasis to the photos without making the controls or other features hard to find or understand.
The main player controls could not be more clear or easy to use. The added color cue (for those of us who are not red-green colorblind, that is) makes a nice extra.
I'm very fond of how the credits and other information work. (These are opened by the controls in the lower right corner of the package.) First, the slideshow pauses automatically when this opens. Second, everything else dims to give visual priority to the overlay box. Third, the information about the package — including a link to the text story it goes with — is all bundled into the package, so it won't get separated or disconnected in the future. Notice that the publication date is embedded in the package — what a great idea! (Too many online packages fail to include any date at all, even a year.)
The preloader graphic is unobtrusive and easy to understand. Each of the five slideshows loads on demand, which is a smart choice for handling the downloads.
There are two things in this design that I would like to see improved.
The first is very simple. The pop-up "tool tip" labels for the secondary controls (those in the lower right corner) are, unfortunately, partly hidden by the mouse cursor. The solution would be to float the labels above the button text instead of below it.
The second change I suggest would take more effort, but I think the benefit to the visitor or viewer would really be worth it. There are five buttons across the top of the package that link to the five segments, or slideshows, in the package. They provide nice, clear feedback — when you roll over one, the appearance changes. But what's missing is a preview. The labels on these buttons are sort of evocative, but they are not very informative.
I think you could preview the content in each slideshow in one of two ways. The first would be a simple teaser, just a text overlay or slide-down panel that told us a little bit about Kat or Colby — so we would know if we really want to click. The second way would be a nice audio snippet, in the girl's own voice, no more than five seconds. Of course, you could provide both on rollover.
This isn't hard to do, but it would mean more content work. That is, the editors and producers would have to spend maybe an additional hour on the package to add five previews. But consider the possible pay-off in extra viewing time and satisfaction. After I have already viewed two or three of these slideshows, I might be thinking, "Eh, Kat, Colby, I'll just skip them." But if I rolled over and you hooked me with the teaser — then I would click.
I really like the way the Times's slideshows and other package templates have evolved. As other news organizations start to develop their own templates for audio and visual content, they can learn a lot just by exploring and experiencing the Times's online packages and thinking about what works well in them — and why.

It may seem like fall is reluctant to give up its grip on the northeast, but ski season is just around the corner. Gore and Whiteface are targeting the day after Thanksgiving to start spinning their lifts, with most other New York ski areas following suit shortly thereafter. Here's a look at what's new for skiers and riders across the region.
Adirondack Ski Season Preview, 2014-15
If you're a skier or snowboarder, the best time of year is almost here. With overnight temperatures dipping below freezing, ski areas around the region have begun firing up their snowmaking equipment to prepare for the start of the 2014-15 ski season.
Crews have been busy with projects all summer and fall, here's a look at what they've been up to.
Commentary: Backcountry Skiers Seek SLMP Amendments
The Adirondack Park Agency (APA) is soliciting comments regarding their plan to amend the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan (SLMP), the document which governs management of the state-owned "forever wild" lands of the Adirondack Park. It's the first time the SLMP has been substantially amended in more than 25 years, and represents a critical opportunity for advocates of backcountry skiing.
Among the changes that are being considered is a proposal from the Adirondack Powder Skier Association (APSA) to explicitly allow for the creation and maintenance of designated backcountry ski touring trails on Forest Preserve lands classified as Wild Forest and Wilderness.
Adirondack Ski Season Preview
This is the time of year when skiers' anticipation is at its peak. The first snows have already whitened the higher elevations of the Adirondacks, signaling winter's approach.
If you're a die-hard skier, you've lined up your season pass and tuned up your equipment. You wear your pajamas inside-out and you've flushed a tray of ice cubes down the toilet (trust me, it works) to ensure a winter of bountiful snow.
Maybe you've even had a bonfire to sacrifice a pair of skis to Ullr, the Norse god of snow and skiing. All that's left now is waiting for the chairlifts to start spinning. » Continue Reading.
Commentary: Stop Using Big Tupper As A Pawn
ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving their Economy), the volunteer group that ran Big Tupper Ski Area for the winters of 2010-11 and 2011-12, recently announced that Big Tupper will be open for the 2013-14 season. The ski area did not operate last winter due to a shortfall of funds and volunteer burnout.
Keeping any ski area open and running is great for the sport. Small, local hills like Big Tupper are vitally important because they provide a lower-cost alternative and they introduce people to skiing. Kudos to the volunteers at Big Tupper for all their efforts over the » Continue Reading.
State Run Adirondack Ski Areas Rebound in 2012-13
According to preliminary data for this year released by the National Ski Areas Association, after a disappointing 2011-12 winter, ski resorts reported an 11% increase in visitation nationally, with a 20% increase in skier visits in the Northeast region.
Not surprisingly given the reduced snowfall last year, results at Gore and Whiteface, both operated by the Olympic Region Development Authority (ORDA), improved significantly for the 2012-13 season.
Adirondack Ski Conditions Roundup
New skis for Christmas? If so, your timing is about perfect. Snow conditions at Adirondack ski areas are arguably the best we've seen so far this season, and trail counts have been steadily expanding. If the storm that is predicted to drop a foot of snow region-wide tonight and tomorrow delivers as promised, ski conditions will be ideal.
We skied Sunday and Monday at Gore, where roughly 30% of the mountain's trails were open. Snowmaking crews were at work getting more expert trails ready » Continue Reading.
An Adirondack Ski Conditions Roundup
It may be hard to believe that we're a month into the ski season, but Whiteface kicked things off on November 17 with its earliest opening in nearly 10 years. Following rain and warm temperatures last week, snowmaking and grooming crews have been able get trails resurfaced quickly, and skiers heading to the slopes this weekend should see some of the best conditions of the season so far. I skied at Whiteface on Wednesday (you can read my report here), and was » Continue Reading.
Snowmaking Begins: Ski Season Preview 2012-13
Maybe it's pent-up demand following last year's lackluster ski season, but skiers seem more excited than usual about the approaching ski season. Adirondack ski areas are eagerly anticipating a bounce back from last winter's disappointing snowfall too, and have been busy with upgrades and improvements all summer.
Snow this weekend meant some tentative trips down the Whiteface Memorial Highway, and cold temperatures last night have kicked-off snowmaking at Gore and Whiteface.
Oktoberfest Planned at "New" Titus Mountain
Skiers will have more terrain choices this winter at Titus Mountain, in Malone. 15 new trails, eleven of which are glades, have been added, bringing the ski area's trail count to 42. The new terrain encompasses all ability levels, from beginner to expert. A second terrain park has also been added, and a major expansion of the ski area's base lodge is underway. "We've completely gutted and renovated the lodge," said Bruce Monette, Principal at Titus. "People will not recognize the place."
The expansion comes less than a year after Monette and his two brothers, Brian » Continue Reading.

I've had good success using Mockito.
When I tried learning about JMock and EasyMock, I found the learning curve to be a bit steep (though maybe that's just me).
I like Mockito because of its simple and clean syntax that I was able to grasp pretty quickly. The minimal syntax is designed to support the common cases very well, although the few times I needed to do something more complicated I found what I wanted was supported and easy to grasp.
Here's an (abridged) example from the Mockito homepage:
It doesn't get much simpler than that.
The only major downside I can think of is that it won't mock static methods.
I am the creator of PowerMock so obviously I must recommend that! :-)
PowerMock extends both EasyMock and Mockito with the ability to mock static methods, final and even private methods. The EasyMock support is complete, but the Mockito plugin needs some more work. We are planning to add JMock support as well.
PowerMock is not intended to replace other frameworks, rather it can be used in the tricky situations when other frameworks does't allow mocking. PowerMock also contains other useful features such as suppressing static initializers and constructors.
The JMockit project site contains plenty of comparative information for current mocking toolkits.
In particular, check out the feature comparison matrix, which covers EasyMock, jMock, Mockito, Unitils Mock, PowerMock, and of course JMockit. I try to keep it accurate and up-to-date, as much as possible.
I've been having success with JMockit.
It's pretty new, and so it's a bit raw and under-documented. It uses ASM to dynamically redefine the class bytecode, so it can mock out all methods including static, private, constructors, and static initializers. For example:
It has an Expectations interface allowing record/playback scenarios as well:
The downside is that it requires Java 5/6.
You could also have a look at testing using Groovy. In Groovy you can easily mock Java interfaces using the 'as' operator:
Apart from this basic functionality Groovy offers a lot more on the mocking front, including the powerful
I started using mocks with EasyMock. Easy enough to understand, but the replay step was kinda annoying. Mockito removes this, also has a cleaner syntax as it looks like readability was one of its primary goals. I cannot stress enough how important this is, since most of developers will spend their time reading and maintaining existing code, not creating it.
Another nice thing is that interfaces and implementation classes are handled in the same way, unlike in EasyMock where still you need to remember (and check) to use an EasyMock Class Extension.
I've taken a quick look at JMockit recently, and while the laundry list of features is pretty comprehensive, I think the price of this is legibility of resulting code, and having to write more.
For me, Mockito hits the sweet spot, being easy to write and read, and dealing with majority of the situations most code will require. Using Mockito with PowerMock would be my choice.
One thing to consider is that the tool you would choose if you were developing by yourself, or in a small tight-knit team, might not be the best to get for a large company with developers of varying skill levels. Readability, ease of use and simplicity would need more consideration in the latter case. No sense in getting the ultimate mocking framework if a lot of people end up not using it or not maintaining the tests.
We are heavily using EasyMock and EasyMock Class Extension at work and are pretty happy with it. It basically gives you everything you need. Take a look at the documentation, there's a very nice example which shows you all the features of EasyMock.
I used JMock early. I've tried Mockito at my last project and liked it. More concise, more cleaner. PowerMock covers all needs which are absent in Mockito, such as mocking a static code, mocking an instance creation, mocking final classes and methods. So I have all I need to perform my work.
I like JMock because you are able to set up expectations. This is totally different from checking if a method was called found in some mock libraries. Using JMock you can write very sophisticated expectations. See the jmock cheat-sheat.
Yes, Mockito is a great framework. I use it together with hamcrest and Google guice to setup my tests.
The best solution to mocking is to have the machine do all the work with automated specification-based testing. For Java, see ScalaCheck and the Reductio framework included in the Functional Java library. With automated specification-based testing frameworks, you supply a specification of the method under test (a property about it that should be true) and the framework generates tests as well as mock objects, automatically.
For example, the following property tests the Math.sqrt method to see if the square root of any positive number n squared is equal to n.
When you call
Even though ScalaCheck is written in Scala, and requires the Scala Compiler, it's easy to test Java code with it. The Reductio framework in Functional Java is a pure Java implementation of the same concepts.
Mockito also provides the option of stubbing methods, matching arguments (like anyInt() and anyString()), verifying the number of invocations (times(3), atLeastOnce(), never()), and more.
I've also found that Mockito is simple and clean.
One thing I don't like about Mockito is that you can't stub static methods.
For something a little different, you could use JRuby and Mocha which are combined in JtestR to write tests for your Java code in expressive and succinct Ruby. There are some useful mocking examples with JtestR here. One advantage of this approach is that mocking concrete classes is very straightforward.
I started using mocks through JMock, but eventually transitioned to use EasyMock. EasyMock was just that, --easier-- and provided a syntax that felt more natural. I haven't switched since.

Sunset Park. Below are a sampling of what is on the market.

2 Bedroom
Sunset Park Apartments
There are several available NY apartments within the southern Brooklyn neighborhood of Sunset Park. With its sloping topography and abundant apartment buildings, this area definitely does not lack culture or community life.
Sunset Park is located around the park of the same name. The area is bordered by Greenwood Heights at the north, Borough Park at the east, Bay Ridge to the south, and New York Bay's waterfront to the west.
With the neighborhood's fairly steep, northwesterly facing slope, Sunset Park provides residents with beautiful sunsets and vistas of Lower Manhattan and the New York Harbor.
This neighborhood is home to a variety of housing options, with many residential streets filled with the traditional, roundstone and brownstone rowhouses. Several Sunset Park side streets are as beautiful as they are shady, and the tree-lined streets complement the area's historic townhouses.
Living in Sunset Park
Residents of Sunset Park apartments always have simple conveniences right at hand. All commercial areas of this neighborhood are easily accessible by foot, although the incline of the streets often makes simple errands a tad more difficult. Accessible by the N & R trains, Sunset Park is fairly far south and not the most accessible area. However, hop on the N & R, and you'll have the ability to transfer to several other subway lines at the MTA's Atlantic Av/Pacific St. transportation hub. But if the subway doesn't reach your Brooklyn destination, there are plenty of crosstown buses that probably do.
Sunset Park's main commerical area is Fifth Avenue, although Fourth, Seventh, and Eighth Avenues provide many local establishments as well. If you are looking for delicious tacos, look no further than Tacos Matamoros on Fifth Avenue. This delicious Mexican restaurant is one of few in New York City that can claim to serve truly authentic Mexican food. But for Sunset Park residents in the mood for a different ethnic flavor, there is Thanh Da, on Seventh Avenue, which serves up delectable Vietnamese sandwiches, among other delicious dishes.

Toni Braxton was a huge name in the R&B industry when she first came out in the 90's. She's managed to stay on the scene over the years but with her most recent album it is safe to say she is back in full effect. Between her collaboration with Trey Songz and the sexy video that came with it as well as their on stage kiss, Toni Braxton is making headlines left and right.
Another reason to stay following Toni Braxton is because of her recent dinner outting to Mr. Chow's in LA. At 42, Toni Braxton went out to dinner in a full on spandex getup. She is looking sexier than ever. Check her out…

Handling Specialty Sharing Expertise at National Aerospace Conference
Handling Specialty Manufacturing is pleased to be sharing its expertise in working with export markets at the AIAC's (Aerospace Industries Association of Canada) national Aerospace Summit being held in Ottawa in December.
Global Business Development Director Dan Nielson will be one of three participants in a panel entitled "Doing business in unfamiliar territory" -- a discussion on export markets -- which will be presented to the conference's participants, which include aerospace companies and suppliers from around the world.
Says Nielson: "I am honoured represent Handling Specialty at the conference. It's a great opportunity to share our company's 'lessons learned' that we have gleaned over the past 30 years working in countries outside of Canada."
He continues: "Handling Specialty has been successfully selling its custom manufactured lifting solutions worldwide since the 1980s," says Nielson, who is responsible for the further development of the company's export business. "In fact, over 80 per cent of the company's annual sales over the past 20-plus years have been in export markets (which includes the United States)."
Specifically, adds Nielson, he will be drawing upon experiences garnered through the company's work in Macau (China) on Franco Dragone's House of Dancing Water. In that project, Handling Specialty engineered, manufactured and installed approximately $20 million of underwater stage lifts for the high-profile theatrical production that continues to draw crowds today.
"We are incredibly proud of the work we did on The House of Dancing Water," says Nielson. "For a small company based out of Grimsby, Ontario, we were working with players on the world stage during that project. It was an unforgettable experience for many members of our team, and I will be pleased to share our story for the benefit of others."
In terms of the company's aerospace expertise, Nielson notes that Handling Specialty has and continues to work with companies such as Bombardier, Pratt and Whitey, Boeing, Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin (on the JSF 35 strike fighter program), Raytheon and NASA, as well as others.
"Our company is very much involved in the aerospace industry, both in Canada and abroad. Over the years we have manufactured jet engine lifts, engine test cells, ground plane simulators, landing gear assembly tooling and many other types of custom material handling equipment for both the assembly and maintenance of aircraft and their engines," says Nielson. "We are active in associations such as AIAC, the OAC and others, and continue to actively promote and work with others on furthering the aerospace industry in Canada."

We are taught in scripture that David will be resurrected to be king over the reformed nation of Israel. We also find in the same Bible the Yahshua of Nazareth is also promised to be king over the reformed nation of Israel. Are both of these possible or is there a discrepancy in the Bible.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) is urging President Obama to impose sanctions against the government of Venezuela.
Students and other Venezuelans have been protesting President Nicolas Maduro, who has ordered the military to aggressively tamp down on the demonstrations.
"With ongoing reports of violence and repression of free speech, this issue demands your immediate attention. That's why I am again respectfully requesting that we stand in solidarity with the people of Venezuela who are struggling for democracy with swift U.S. action. We must target regime officials with sanctions, such as freezing the bank accounts of Maduro and his gang and revoking the U.S. visas of anyone involved in attacking peaceful demonstrators," the letter states.
On Tuesday, the U.S. government expelled three Venezuelan diplomats in retaliation for a similar move from Maduro, who kicked American consular officials out of the country.
Scott says he had urged Obama to intervene during White House events earlier this week with the National Governors Association.
"Among the important topics raised during this meeting, I urged you to consider sanctions against the current oppressive Venezuelan regime. Despite our discussion, it's been four days since we met, and the people of Venezuela are still experiencing unrest and repression," Scott writes.
More than a dozen people have died during the crackdown on protestors, and more than 100 people have been injured, reports have said.
Scott is also asking Obama to visit the large Venezuelan community in Doral, Fla., during his trip to the state in March.
Meanwhile, the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere on Friday cleared a bipartisan resolution that condemns the violence in Venezuela and calls on the U.S. to back pro-democracy protestors.
Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) introduced the resolution with 15 other House members.
Scott's request comes just a week after the Obama administration threatened to use sanctions against Ukraine's government for its crackdown on protestors there. President Viktor Yanukovych has since been ousted, and opposition leaders have begun forming a new government.

HORSHAM, Pa. — The Thomas' brand, a creator and baker of English Muffins, introduced it's flavor of the year: Cinnamon Vanilla. This is the only new flavor the company will offer in 2014.

"People often rush to make and eat breakfast, and we wanted to give them more reasons to slow down and enjoy," said Alicia Rosas, Category Director, Thomas' Bagels. "We all know how satisfying it is to smell delicious baked goods, so when developing our new Limited Edition line, it was important that the aroma was just as sweet and enticing as the taste."
The Limited Edition Cinnamon Vanilla English Muffins and Maple French Toast Bagels are now available natiowinde and can be found in mass retail stores for a suggested retail price between $3.99 to $4.69.

This story was written by Rafat Ali.
HBO, which has always made it interminably difficult to find any of its shows online (that's because they aren't, at least legally), is close to announcing a deal with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) to sell its wares on iTunes, reports Portfolio, citing sources. The announcement will come in a week or so, the story says, and this is the first time Apple has agreed to a separate price structure for a content provider (read better than others).
No more details, but could be that the individual TV shows would be more than the standard $1.99 pricing on iTunes for other companies. Or that HBO gets more cut of the same $1.99 pie. Of course if HBO, part of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX), gets this deal, Apple would be forced to reconsider the same deal for others, at least in the medium to long term.

Released: Apr 08th, 2008
Running Time: 120 Min.
Director: Uncredited
Company: Pandemonium
Cast: Marco Banderas, Roxanne Hall, Vanessa Videl, Lexi Bardot, Mascha, Aurora Snow, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: MILF
Good Lord, when will all these milk/MILF puns run dry? Furthermore ... as there are no maid-oriented scenarios, MILF Made doesn't even attempt to take advantage of its own pun! And since not all of these gals appear middle-aged, the MILF factor itself is in question. Whatever. Typical porn thinking. ...
For what it's worth, we've never seen Aurora Snow or Roxanne Hall deliver a mediocre sexual performance. It's just the guys who can't keep up. Lots of deep throat and tookie plowing here. Elsewhere, Banderas and Stone (the more capable cockslingers) load the log into a few ladies who can't seem to keep up with them.
As the final insult, Pandemonium's (uncredited) editor appears to have forgotten what the "deinterlace" button is for. (For the technically challenged, MILF Made looks jumpy; needlessly so.)
Retailing: Fans of the ladies/MILF filler.

MOSCOW -- Journalists desperate to keep Russia's only independent nationwide television network out of government hands cheered U.S. media mogul Ted Turner's announcement Wednesday that he would buy into debt-laden NTV.
But Turner's statement was no guarantee the increasingly tense battle between NTV and state-run gas giant Gazprom for control of the station was nearing an end.
NTV sees the takeover as a crude bid by the Kremlin -- and President Vladimir Putin -- to bring to heel the network known for often-critical reporting on problems from the wars in Chechnya to the sharp decline in Russian living standards.

The second edition of Ventilators and Inhalation Therapy presents the updated viewpoints of Dr. Dobkin and 20 other experts on the use of mechanical ventilators and on modalities of inhalation therapy. The book is well edited, indeed, and references are abundant and appropriate.
The book is practical and clinical in its orientation. Leading off with a chapter entitled "Anesthesia and Respiration" may give the impression of a slanting of emphasis. The aim of the book is broader than that; and prolonged mechanical ventilation gets its fair share.
The coverage of relevant topics is comprehensive, including a sketch of ventilation-perfusion problems; the differential of diagnosis of respiratory failure; the characteristics of mechanical ventilators, as well as mechanical hazards; inhalation therapy methods and equipment; and chest physical therapy. The important psychologic problems in patients receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation are dealt with very thoughtfully.
The book does not pretend to present pediatric problems
