The Public Policy BDP introduces students to the development and implementation of public policy. You will learn about substantive policy issues, become familiar with how policies are made and carried out, and develop an understanding of the complexities and uncertainties of the political process. The program will be beneficial to students who aspire to positions in policy-relevant institutions such as government agencies, legislative offices, think tanks, and advocacy groups, and it will teach students who plan to work in business or nonprofit organizations how government works.
This BDP focuses on how change happens: how did a journalist's inquiry into the effects of agricultural chemicals give rise to the environmental movement; how did a black woman's refusal to yield her bus seat to a white man galvanize the civil rights movement; how did a diplomat's cable about Russian history give rise to the policy of containment? Students will learn about the policy-making process, beginning with the point when someone senses a problem or an opportunity and begins to press the matter. You will then walk through the processes by which that sense of a problem is turned into a public policy issue through research, mobilization, the engagement of political leaders, and in some instances, the passage and implementation of new policy.
Students may focus their work in at least two of the following categories

"Overall, the supply of apple juice is very safe and does not represent a threat to public health," FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told the Associated Press on Friday. "We decided to put forward this proposed action level to give guidance to industry and to assure ongoing safety and quality."
Arsenic is a cancer-causing chemical found in everything from soil to water to pesticides.
In 2008, the FDA set a "level of concern" for arsenic at 23 parts per billion in apple juice. However, agency officials played down the significance of the older figure this week, describing it as a "back of the envelope" calculation that was used to assess one juice shipment detained at the border, the AP reported.
"It was not a full blown, science-based number," said Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner for foods.
A limit as low as 3 parts per billion had been called for by Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports. While the FDA didn't implement that low a limit, the group still praised the agency for taking action.
"While we had proposed a lower limit, we think this is a perfectly good first step to bring apple juice in line with the current drinking water limits," Urvashi Rangan, the group's director for consumer safety, told the AP.
New limits on arsenic in rice are also being considered by the FDA. Rice is believed to have higher levels of arsenic than most foods because it is grown in water on the ground, ideal conditions for absorbing the chemical.
Responding to the Consumer Reports study in November, the Juice Products Association issued a statement saying that juice is safe for all consumers, adding the industry "adheres to FDA guidelines and juice products sold in the U.S. meet and will continue to proactively meet or exceed the federal standards," the Los Angeles Times reported.

Burnout: Skate in Detroit
Go Skateboarding Day began with Drew on his daily Starbucks pilgrimage.
Not as easy as you might think - especially in Detroit.
Hart Plaza - Wild in the Streets ground zero.
It didn't seem like that many people, but after a few minutes of the deafening clatter of wheels on bricks I realized there were thousands of us.
HK knows to save his strength for the straightaways.
The locals seemed mostly amused.
Which one's his vert board?
Nuts were rattling loose the whole way. Detroit streets are rough!
DFL's, everywhere.
The cops were cool, mostly.
Two-thirds stop at the big 11.
Frankie came all the way from LA to bust.
The Boss never disappoints a crowd.
I was there!
Media blitz from all angles.
It was about 1000 degrees.
Speaking of ...
Of course there were Danforths. It's fuckin' Michigan.
The final turn to the finish line.
Vigilante obstacles, immediately shredded.
One mohawk or three, you were stoked to have made it.
The skate slab was ringed by derilect projects.
Every floor had 10,000 college photo classes worth of beautiful squalor.
Practically giving it away.
Oh hi, Jer.
Twenty years too late for his pro spotlight, but Go Skateboarding Day inventor Don Brown caspers nonetheless.
The innate attraction of throwing shit out of high windows.
Don's iphone angle. Nailing the F out of it.
Yep, there it went.
Back on Earth, a little QT with the bros.
Babes, everywhere.
If the longboard revolution has given us anything, it's bikini tops at a skate demo.

I've received a quote for Microsoft MSDN subscription (VSProwMSDN ALNG LicSAPk OLP NL Qlfd) for $1,684. I believe has 2 years upgrades.
I've also found this site: http://www.microsoftstore.com.au/shop/en-AU/Microsoft/Visual-Studio-Professional-2010-Upgrade that has 1 year of MSDN Essentials access for $945.00.
In the "Before you buy" section on that page it says: "To qualify for upgrade pricing, you must be a licensed user of one of the following products: an earlier version of Microsoft Visual Studio, or any other developer tool (including free developer tools, such as Visual Studio Express Editions or Eclipse).
Visual Studio 2010 Professional includes a 12-month MSDN Essentials subscription. MSDN Essentials gives you access to core Microsoft platforms: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Datacenter R2."
What is the better value product? I am doing development and would probably consider doing a longer subscription.

The candidates receive a surprise phone call at the end of their day off; they are called to the home of the Design Council, where Lord Sugar informs them that their task is to come up with a unique piece of flat-pack furniture, before producing prototypes and pitching their products to retailers. #
The candidates get creative; one team brings a folding chair to the table, while the others set out to manufacture a multifunctional cube. But while the boys get their measurements mixed up, the girls start squabbling over market research.
On sales day, half the teams hit the high street in search of orders for their products; but with the pressure on, some members of the street sales team come unstuck. The rest head for appointments laid on by Lord Sugar with some of the country's biggest retailers - and under scrutiny one presentation goes bottoms up.
In the boardroom, there is high praise for some people and low opinions of others, and the losing team come in for a total hammering before Lord Sugar makes his decision and one person is told "You're fired!".

The Virginia Board of Medicine reports that three physicians practicing in the Twin Counties were reprimanded for pre-signing multiple blank prescriptions for a nursing home, in violation of state code.
The prescriptions were to be used only for emergencies, but were "not dated or signed by [the doctors] on the day when issued, as required by the Code [of Virginia]," the board found.
The board issued the reprimands in June 2012. All three physicians are still permitted to practice medicine, and their licenses were not revoked or suspended.
All three physicians have signed consent orders with the Virginia Board of Medicine, which stipulate that they admit to the board's findings of fact.
The physicians reprimanded were Dr. Bradley Jackson Goad, doctor of osteopathy; Dr. Vanessa Sturgill Fant, M.D.; and Lee Adam Thompson, a physician's assistant.
According to consent orders signed by the physicians, in early 2011 they signed blank prescriptions "with the intent that the prescriptions be kept on-site at a long-term care facility for which [the] practice group provided care."
The board's report does not identify the nursing home or its location.
On April 18, 2011, "in order to obtain Lortab [hydrocodone] that had been ordered by a physician assistant for Patient A's acute pain event, a member of the nursing staff at the long-term care facility used one of the pre-signed blank prescriptions and wrote in the medication prescribed, dosing instructions, quantity and refill amount," according to the board's report.
"The nurse who completed the prescription stated that she wrote in the medication and dosing instructions based on a telephone order from a physician assistant in [the physicians' group to which Fant, Goad and Thompson belong]; however the nurse determined the quantity and refill amount 'based upon what the physicians normally prescribe,' in this case 30 dosage units with six refills," the board reported.
"The prescription was then faxed to a pharmacy, and the pharmacy gave permission to nursing staff to obtain Lortab from the facility's on-site stat-drug box so that it could be administered to Patient A."
The board reports says the prescription included printed information identifying Thompson as the prescriber, although he was not the physician assistant who orally ordered the medication for the patient.
Fant, Goad and Thompson all stated that the pre-signed prescriptions were only intended to be used for nursing home residents in emergency cases "and were intended to be completed only by three members of the nursing staff at the facility who had been designated by the practice group as 'prescribing agents,'" according to the consent order.
The medical board's orders in each case state that the physicians "shall maintain a course of conduct in [his or her] practice commensurate with … all laws of the Commonwealth."
The North Carolina Medical Board issued similar reprimands to Goad and Fant last month, relating to the same incident in Virginia. They both have licenses to practice in that state, as well.

Cousin Stevie (cousin of porn golden-boy Seymore Butts) throws a helluva party. In this case, a lesbionic free-for-all featuring more toys than Kiddie City and some very hot ladies.
The action is spontaneous - one big eightway that focuses on the pleasure of the girls. This type of unplanned porn is great for its anything-can-happen vibe, but sometimes lacks because the camera isn't in the right place at the right time. That's a small complaint, though, for an awesome porn flick full of beautiful young girls getting busy with each other and a bunch of toys. Recommended.

Did You Know?
Rugose was borrowed into English in the late 17th century from the Latin adjective rugosus ("wrinkled"), which itself derives from "ruga" ("wrinkle"). One descendant of "ruga" that you'll probably recognize is "corrugate," which initially meant "to form or shape into wrinkles or folds." Another, which might be more familiar to scientists, is rugulose, meaning "finely wrinkled." In addition, there is the noun "rugosity," which can refer to either the quality or state of being full of wrinkles or an individual wrinkled place.

Anelka wrote on his Facebook page later on Thursday: "I've just learned with deep sadness the death of mister Eric Manasse. I can't find the words to express my huge grief and I wanted to pay condolences to the Manasse family after this tragic death."
Manasse was a FIFA-registered agent Anelka has worked with.
The 34-year-old Anelka joined West Brom, his sixth Premier League club, on a free transfer last month and featured in their opening game defeat at the hands of Southampton on Saturday.
He moved to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua from Chelsea in January 2012 but did not settle and went out on loan at Juventus.
Earlier it had been reported that Anelka had walked out during a training session and told the club he was retiring from football.
According to early reports Anelka cleared out his locker and told staff members he was finished with football.
It now though looks like the player will return after a grieving period.
West Brom released a short statement saying; "West Bromwich Albion can confirm that Nicolas Anelka will not be involved in Saturday's game at Everton. The club have excused the striker from club duty on compassionate grounds."

"GEMS BEYOND THE STRIP" Top 5 Page for this destination Nevada by mtncorg
Nevada Travel Guide: 10,559 reviews and 22,926 photos
How about a Nevada page without Las Vegas or Reno? Can it be done? Sure. The State is huge and it doesn't take to much effort to find sites that actually make Nevada worth visiting. I am going to concentrate on a few of these areas that you may have not heard of. Nevada is a high desert - officially, the Great Basin type; there are four warm weather desert types in the US: Sonoran, Chihuahuan and Mojave being the other three. The desert is interrupted every few miles by Great Basin ranges of mountains - typical range being long (running north-south), thin and tilted with a gradual side to the east or west and the opposite side is an abrupt face. The country is owned for the most part by the Federal Government. It is also very isolated. Over 90% of the population of the State lives in Las Vegas or Reno areas. Outside of the metropolitan areas, is a landscape that is both geographically and culturally separate.
For the tourist, one of the best books that I can think of is the Moon Publications effort from Deke Castleman, "Nevada". the book is one of the Moon State Handbooks, a series that I find more consistent and complete than Lonely Planet. I use some of the LP foreign efforts but find their efforts all over the board - some are quite good and others are not. I don't like most of their US series. I think Moon does a much better job here, both with the coverage and the authors selected. Deke Castleman gives a very complete picture of what you can and cannot do in the State and does so in a lightly irreverent manner. And if you are only going to Vegas or Reno, Mr Castleman handles those areas in most excellent fashion as well. Another book for the hiker, like myself, is the Sierra Club's "Hiking the Great Basin" by John Hart. I have used that book as inspiration for ranges within Nevada to seek out and explore and in my journeys have found several others using the same source - the trails are still the same, but the edition might be getting a bit old though now - similar to the old mtncorg.
I have far from covered all of the possibilites in this fine State. The Toiyabes, the Jarbridge, the Grant Range and others still await the tread of my boots. I ahve not seen Pyramid Lake or the Carson Sink or the ichthyosaurus remains at the Ichthyosaurus State Park near Berlin. Many of the places I have been call me back: Great Basin National Park, the Ruby Mountains,...... And the towns on the edge - the Elys, the Elkos, the Wells, the Tonopahs, the Hawthornes, the Winnemuccas, the Battle Mountains. Towns that are a long ways from nowhere - not unlike many of the small towns in the eastern vastness of my own home State - Oregon.
So of we go to the few tips that I can offer up. No Vegas, no Reno, no Tahoe. Others have exhaustively covered those. Come with me to the Rubys, the Snakes and the Whites. Come to Nevada.
- Pros:Glorious pockets of grandeurous wilderness; peaks, lakes, cirques, the old west in real-life, and the oldest things on earth
- Cons:Las Vegas and Reno are built for the short term; Schlock comes to its logical conclusion
- In a nutshell:Natural Beauty versus Manmade Glitter

An excellent page on the vast part of Nevada that lies outside of the Green Felt Jungle. Too bad that 4900 yr old tree was cut down to ascertain its age.
Nevada really has more to offer than the good old Death Valley ! Thanks for this page, it should encourage anyone to go off- the tracks

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 2004
Running Time: 118
Director: Brad Armstrong
Company: Wicked Pictures
Cast: Cheyne Collins, Randy Spears, Nicole Sheridan, Lezley Zen, Julia Ann, Brad Armstrong, Eric Masterson, Lonnie, Voodoo
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Julia Ann fans will enjoy her many sex scenes. It\'s not for couples but not everything with a plot has to be for couples.
Julia Ann plays the title role here, and things begin with her leaving her husband. On their bed, she leaves a journal detailing all the sexual encounters she has used to sate herself in her last days of their marriage. Her husband reads the journal. We hear her voice narrating between segments of hot goings on, and we see her make the carnal choices she is driven to. The video ends with the cuckold committing suicide, and the wife getting off scot-free. There are no consequences for the pain she caused.
The sex in this is strong and beautifully shot by Jake Jacobs. In one of director Brad Armstrong's best on-camera sex performances in recent memory, he and Lezley Zen play a couple visiting the doomed married pair. Ann finds herself watching the two having hard, passionate sex. When Armstrong sees her watching, he makes their sex into a show for her. Zen is a performer who will go as far as her partner wants to, and Armstrong makes good use of her limits. Pre-nom for Best Couples Sex Scene.
After watching Armstrong and Zen, the genie's out of the bottle. Ann takes on a lover, Eric Masterson, and has her first threeway with Masterson and Cheyne Collins, another threeway with strangers Nicole Sheridan and Voodoo, a g/g with Lonnie and a tad-rougher-than-usual fuck with Randy Spears.

The theme doc should help you achieve the demo site structure: http://alienwp.com/documentation/oxygen-theme-documentation/
Thank u Griden... its working...
I read the link above, but I'm not getting a slider. I created a home page but I do not have a "Front Page" template. I have Showcase Page instead so I selected that and set as the front page. In my posts, I went to screen options and I do not have a Location check box. When I look at my site, I have recent articles and more articles sections but no featured post. Please help!
My site is dividedundergod.com if you want to take a look and advise.
Try asking on http://devpress.com/forums/
@ dividedundergod:
Your site is hosted at wordpress.COM and a modified Oxygen version is used there. The "Location" option is not existent on wordpress.com - it basically lists the posts ordered by post date.
You can check this page for info about the differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org: http://en.support.wordpress.com/. And wordpress.COM has a separate support forum.
It's actually http://alienwp.com, but I also check this forum on a regular basis so posting questions here is ok. I do my best to respond to every thread that is strictly theme support, and not not customisation-related or anything like that.
I am having problems with Oxygen theme.
a) I cannot see the first and secondary menu.
Do you see it?
b) I see just a part of the slider.. I do not see the small boxes.
c) Then in my static page, also the images in the primary bar ar bigger.
If you go in "battiti" page, you can see images in the standard format of oxygen, but not in the static page.
Please help!

When someone asked Dick Reid what sort of cake he wanted for
his 100th birthday, he said: ''Bugger the cake - take me for
a feed of oysters''.
Why? Because he had celebrated every birthday for the past
century with cake, and when you turned 100, you need
something a little more momentous, he said.
''Oysters and chips is my long suit - it's my favourite
So he celebrated his milestone yesterday with Bluff oysters
and chips at the Best Cafe in Dunedin, with his fellow Oxford
Court residents.
Mr Reid said he was a regular at the cafe for many years,
living on a daily lunchtime diet of fish and chips while he
ran his bookmaking business.
''You name the gambling, I've done it. I'm a gambler. I was
born a gambler. I love the thrill you get when the odds turn
your way.''
Oxford Court Rest Home co-ordinator Yvonne McNeil said Mr
Reid was ''a real character''.
''He's got a great sense of humour and a great memory, and he
loves to play cards and indoor bowls. He's a ray of sunshine
- a real character.''
Unfortunately for Mr Reid, there was no getting away from the
inevitable birthday cake yesterday.
He had a second celebration with friends and family at Oxford
Court yesterday afternoon, at which he was encouraged to do
the traditional birthday cake-cutting.
When asked what the odds were of him reaching his 101st
birthday, Mr Reid said he was confident they were in his
''I'm a gambler at heart. I can always find something to
gamble with,'' he said with a chuckle.
''The odds are very good on me making 110 - maybe even 120.
''I come from good stock. I go forever and ever and ever.''
It sounds like a bet he won't worry about losing money on.

A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Considering your wonderful attitude towards life, generally,
I'd be prepared to bet, that had your oysters been washed
down with a glass or two of champagne on-the-day, you'd have
been downright 'dangerous' to know.
Happy Birthday Dick, those oysters look delicious!

Homo This Is Going to End Badly
posted by March 10 at 11:12 AMon
If you knew a straight couple that had been together eight monthseight monthsand they were talking about getting married and having children, would you take them seriously? No, you wouldn't. So please don't feel obligated to take this couple seriously just because they're gay.
Jaason Simmons, who starred on Baywatch for three years, has come out of the closet. Good for him. He's got a boyfriend! Good for him. They're adoptingor they've adopted, or one of them adopted (it's hard to tell)an 8-year-old Ugandan boy. And they're getting married. At eight months. Which strikes me as just a bit premature. Via Towleroad:
Simmons has appeared in Australian New Idea magazine with his boyfriend of eight months, Irish actor John OCallaghan, and his adopted six year-old Ugandon son saying that they want to get married. The couple plan to wed in Canada as same-sex unions are not legally recognized in California where they both live."
Said Simmons: "Were doing it for our family and for my soon-to-be son. Although you dont want to typecast yourself, you have to take responsibility and ownership and move humanity forward, out of bigotry. Our son needs to see we can stand in front of family and loved ones who are going to support our union through the good times and bad."
Eight months. These men have been been togetherexcuse me, they've been datingfor eight months. And they're getting married and adopting a child together. Does anyone believe that if Simmons were straightif he were, say, a female pop star, and Miss Simmons was marrying a man she'd only known for eight months, and if Miss Simmons were already pregnant or talking about adoptionthat Miss Simmons would be taken seriously?
Straight people? Please don't take premature/immature commitmentsmarriage, family, childrenany more seriously when gay people make them. You're not obligated to make up for the centuries when our relationships weren't taken seriously by smiling and nodding when someone introduces you to a "life partner" he met eight months ago. You would laugh in the face of a straight friend or relative who introduced you to a fiancé of eight month's acquaintance. You should treat your gay friends and relatives the same way. We want to be treated equally. That means we should be treated with equal contempt when we engage in equally stupid behavior.
And gay people? While it's nice to see another semi-famous actor come out of the closetparticularly one that looks like SimmonsSimmons's premature commitment to this man, and their willingness to involve a child in this premature commitment, isn't something to celebrate. Not yet, anyway. If they're still together ten years from now, or two years from now, great, let's have a party. But the odds are stacked against Simmons and OCallaghannot because they're gay, kids, but because they're foolish. They've only been together for eight months. Rather than end anti-gay bigotry as we know it, odds are that anti-gay bigots will be pointing to Simmons and OCallaghan as an example of the instability of gay relationships when their marriagelike Britney's and Pamela Anderson's and J Lo's, et al.predictably ends in divorce.

Gulf Breeze UFO incident
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gulf Breeze UFO incident was a series of claimed UFO sightings in Gulf Breeze Florida during the late 1980s. The claims gained press and television coverage at the time, but are now widely considered a hoax.
Beginning on November 11, 1987 Gulf Breeze contractor Ed Walters reported a series of UFO sightings over a period of three weeks. Some ufologists believed the photographs that Walters purported to show a flying saucer were genuine, however others strongly suspected them to be a hoax. Press coverage given Walters claims during that time has been criticized as "uncritical" and "sensationalist". The hoax allegations were confirmed some years later when investigators found a model UFO in the house Walters had occupied.[1][2]

We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I have not tried this myself but you can get shell script support in Netbeans if you install the C/C++ plugin.
old question, time for an update for Netbeans 8.0.2.
Here's what worked for me
You'll get full syntax highlighting as well as the ability to right click and select 'run' which will launch your script in the built in terminal. very nice.
To get the context menu 'run' to work with your shell
Also, check out the properties of the bash files and you'll find some helpful ones.
This is very odd. I have NB6.8beta installed with the C/C++ plugin. When I open a .sh file I do see syntax high lighting. Quotes strings show up in orange, commands are in blue.

Launching A Dream On A Portuguese River
By BRANDT GOLDSTEIN
Published: September 29, 2002
Rockets whizzed into the bright afternoon sky and exploded overhead as we rowed toward the dock. My brother, Garth, gaped at the smoke trails floating away in the stiff breeze. He'd never been welcomed by fireworks before; none of our five-man crew had. A crowd of people lined the shore, cheering. John Pollack, my friend since high school, waved and grinned.
We eased up to the dock as motorboats blasted their horns in celebration. The crowd streamed forward. Smiling strangers reached for our mooring lines and greeted us in Portuguese. Eager children poked their way past the adults for a better look. Cameras clicked and whirred.
''Barco de rolhas!'' people yelled. ''The cork boat!''
We passed our backpacks and other gear to the outstretched hands on the dock. Everyone in the small town of Bitetos wanted to help. As I stepped off the boat and into the buzzing crowd, an agitated man tugged at my arm.
He said something in Portuguese.
''Desculpe. Nâo falo Português,'' I apologized.
''The mayor!'' he said breathlessly. ''The mayor is waiting for you!''
Garth and John, friends who grew up in Ann Arbor, Mich., have always dreamed big. But never bigger than when they set out to build a 3,000-pound boat made of wine corks in Garth's Washington garage, and sail it down Portugal's Douro River. As they discovered along the way, the vessel spoke to the playful dreams of countless other people, too, both American and Portuguese.
The cork boat odyssey began 30 years ago when, as a child, John rode in the graceful reed boats of Peru's Lake Titicaca and was struck by an idea. Why not build his own boat from something in nature? Back home, he fixed on corks. His parents began saving their wine corks for him in a bowl on the kitchen table, and soon, bagfuls from family friends were piling up in his bedroom. Years later, after crisscrossing the world and working as a speechwriter in the White House, he still clung to his boyhood dream. ''I'm building a cork boat!'' he'd tell people, eyes alight with the idea. If they didn't understand, he attributed it to a lack of imagination. By 1999, he'd accumulated thousands of corks in his Washington apartment. But he still had no boat.
Enter Garth, a Washington architect. If John was an unapologetic dreamer, then Garth -- with his ambitious art installations and passion for rock climbing -- might be considered an extreme artist. (In college, he hung from a rope off the tallest building on campus to install a huge sculpture -- in the middle of the night.) Garth loved the idea of the cork boat. It reflected his desire to produce one-of-a-kind, outsize creations, and the odd choice of material only fueled his interest. ''The boat was like an amazing design dare,'' Garth said, ''and I wanted to create something beautiful.'' True to his previous art projects, he also envisioned it on a grand scale: ''If we were going to build this thing, I wanted to make it immense.''
Fitting the uncooperative little cylinders into a stable structure proved a maddening task. The two men figured out early on that the corks were most stable in hexagons -- for instance, six corks packed around a seventh. But attaching the corks together was another matter. After a lot of trial, much error and some bad burns from a glue gun, they solved the problem. Using rubber bands to hold the hexagons in place temporarily, they stacked them together to create a log and then encased the log in fish net with a complex set of high-tension ropes and knots.
Based on the cork log concept, they drew up plans for something akin to an ancient Viking vessel. Then the two men rounded up a swarm of volunteers to help build the boat. (''Just a few hours,'' John would say, his hand on a friend's shoulder.) Under Garth and John's direction, dozens of us spent weeks building nine cork logs a foot in diameter, each longer than a car and several with sweeping arcs in the Viking style. It was tedious work, but people also seemed to take a simple joy in piling the corks together. Finally, 20 of us stayed up all night to bind the logs together into a boat, using hundreds of Dacron lines -- a complex ballet of lifting, knotting, grunting and sweating that culminated in a triumphant roar at 8 a.m. Thirty years after John had first imagined it, the boat was done. And true to Garth's vision, it was a huge, almost jaw-dropping creation.
The boat was 22 feet long, 5 feet wide and 7 feet high at the tip of the bow. The fish-net overlay gave it a mummified appearance, but even from 10 yards away, the individual corks were visible, packed together row after row. All told, the boat included about 166,000 corks, the majority of them donated by a cork-manufacturing company, whose officials were tickled by the idea.
After a brief test run on the Potomac, Garth and John pondered where to go (ideas ranged from the Loire Valley to the Amazon). In the end, the Douro River seemed especially fitting because the boat was made of Portuguese corks. It was going home.
And so, in June, John, Garth and their support group and revolving crew -- John's parents, Garth's old college roommate, myself and a pack of other enthusiasts -- arrived in Portugal for the inaugural voyage. (The cork company shipped the boat across the Atlantic for us.) Our expedition would eventually take us the 136-mile length of the river, which cuts almost due west from the border with Spain to the Atlantic at Porto, the second-largest city in Portugal and the center of the port wine industry. Among us, we'd covered a good portion of the globe, from Antarctica to Zimbabwe, in everything from an ice cutter to a pontoon plane. But on this particular journey, none of us knew quite what to expect.

Honda Deflects Criticism Of 2012 Civic
Japanese automaker Honda has had a tough time recently. The earthquake and tsunami disrupted production. And now flooding in Thailand is causing more trouble. There are concerns that the quality of Honda's cars may be slipping.
The Los Angeles Auto Show begins today. It's the first of America's car shows and it's where manufacturers put their best foot forward or try to reinvent themselves. One those carmakers is Honda. Honda's production was badly hurt by Japan's earthquake and tsunami, and as it was getting back on track, the floods in Thailand crippled production again. But as NPR's Sonari Glinton reports from the L.A. Auto Show, natural disasters may be the least of Honda's problems.
SONARI GLINTON, BYLINE: I'm here with David Champion, he's director of automobile testing for Consumer Reports. Hello David, how are you doing?
DAVID CHAMPION: I'm doing fine, thank you.
GLINTON: What are we looking here?
CHAMPION: This is the new 2012 Honda Civic. The Civic used to be a great car. The new really doesn't match up as well.
GLINTON: Champion says Honda's Civic was once the gold standard for quality in the auto industry but now...
CHAMPION: They just look really cheap the way it's put together. And if you're paying, you know, getting up to $20,000 for a car, you want something that, you know, that's got a bit of quality to it.
JOHN MENDEL: It's always, you know, when you have a championship team that's been kind of the Super Bowl winner for 40 years, there's only one way you can go.
GLINTON: John Mendel is executive vice president at American Honda.
MENDEL: I mean everybody wants to focus on Civic. Is it as exciting as some wanted? No. But, you know what? We've been sold out of Civic basically since we bought the car out. I'll give you the caveat on that, is that we haven't had enough, but we've been sold out.
GLINTON: The reason that Honda has not had enough cars to sell? First, there were supply chain disruptions after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. And then when the company was nearly back to 100 percent came the floods in Thailand. That cut supplies to vital computer components among other key parts. Mendel says after the Japanese disaster Honda has been better able to manage parts shortages.
MENDEL: It's certainly frustrating nonetheless, you know, just we're back to production, we get back and suddenly get hit with something else again. Unlike the earthquake and tsunami, we know where the end of this is, we can see it. We know where bottom is and we've got a good handle on what we need to do.
GLINTON: To be clear, Honda is still one of the best selling brands in the U.S. And according to Consumer Reports and other agencies that rate cars, Honda is still near the top, quality-wise. Jessica Caldwell is an analyst with the car website edmunds.com. She says Honda is still associated in the minds of consumers with quality, reliability and value.
JESSICA CALDWELL: And those are strong terms for that segment, for compact cars, especially when they're so many new entries in the market. Sometimes people want something that they recognize, something that they trust, and you never have to explain why you own a Honda Civic. It's something that it's universal.
GLINTON: Meanwhile, David Champion with Consumer Reports says without a doubt Honda has a valuable name. But he says in this car environment your reputation only gets you so far.
CHAMPION: It takes a long time to gain that reputation. You know, five to 10 years to gain a reputation like that. Unfortunately in this fickle market if you don't meet that reputation it may only take you two or three years to lose it and to become, you know, a second class player.
GLINTON: Champion says all the car companies here at the auto show want to take Honda's customers. He says Honda only has a short time to fix its problems whether they're due to natural disasters or self imposed. Sonari Glinton, NPR News, Los Angeles.

Punk Rock Extravaganza
Arise! Bookstore was created in 1993 by the Arise! Collective, a group that seeks the end of discrimination, political oppression, and economic inequality through activism and information dissemination. The store serves as a meeting space and resource center, carrying harder-to-find books on liberation struggles. This Sunday, the store will host a group of subversive punk writers, editors, and live music. Sean Carswell, the co-editor of both punk magazine Razorcake and independent publisher Gorsky Press, will read from Train Wreck Girl. Carswell's characters are mostly working-class, and fans of his writing appreciate that he manages to create stories that neither romanticize nor martyr blue-collar workers. Also reading tonight is Joe Meno, whose past works have been featured in McSweeney's and online at Playboy.com. Mickey Hess and Sam Richard round out the stellar lineup, with local cute-core band Bla Bla Blacksheep providing tunes.

I have this plugin setup and working fine...although I had to manually point to the .js files since the code added though wp_head wasn't calling everything on it's own.
My question is, can I loop an audio file? Once a visitor clicks "play" I want the track to loop until they click "stop".
I'm using the text version of the player.
I've seen posts referencing this code to loop audio...
...but it's in regard to jplayer. I don't know how to implement it (or if it would even work with Haiku).
Thanks for your replies!

Excellent Continuation,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Invisible Hands - Part 1: Gambit (Dark Tales of Randamor the Recluse Book 4) (Kindle Edition)
I am not sure I can add anything to what the previous reviews have stated. This is the best book of the series because the new characters introduced actually have a significance- whereas in previous books- I felt that some of the characters added didn't really bring anything to the story. This time, most of the new characters will bring something to the future of the series, and not just find their introduction for use as canon fodder.
Three new characters- Merw, Antybion and Lexyntas. However, the real question is, which one of the latter two is the missing prince of Trachia, Antybion or Lexyntas. Both of them have short hair and are about seventeen years of age, each arrive on the scene in mysterious circumstances, and each with an older man for an escort; they also each seem to have their own secret mission. Merw on the other hand, is just adorable! ;-)
One of my favorite scenes in this book was Anaxantis' reaction to when his mother asked him why Ehandar was still breathing... priceless.
This series is one that I read with great anxiety, anxiety over what will happen to beloved characters. The author has shown that painful torture and gruesome death can await any character- and considering how poorly I handled Jerruth's death, and he wasn't even a major character, I can't imagine how I will deal with a similar scene with a character I love. Yet, the author also portrays experiences that are truly realistic- human history is full of brutal rapes, horrific torture, and gruesome murder. So if you are like me and get attached to characters and allow yourself to emotionally grow with them, then this brutal reality can be quite a painful experience- especially when you understand that, while this is a work of fiction, these type of horrific events are part of our past. People were tortured and killed in brutal ways, and lives didn't hold any significance- kill or be killed. So when you realize this, suddenly the story takes on a much deeper significance.

This paper applies sensor fusion to the localization problem of a mobile user. We propose that the use of direction of arrival (DOA) estimations along with received signal strength measurements can increase the accuracy and robustness of location estimations. The DOA estimations are incapable of providing multi-dimensional positioning alone, while signal strength methods are prone to high uncertainties. A robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) is used to derive the state estimate of the mobile user's position, and successfully track the mobile users with less system complexity, as it requires measurements from only one base station. Therefore, localization of mobile users can be performed at the single base station. Furthermore, the technique is robust against system uncertainties caused by the inherent deterministic nature of the mobility model. Through simulation, we show the accuracy of our prediction algorithm and the simplicity of its implementation.
