As many of you already know, I founded Free Software Magazine in 2004. The idea was to create a printed magazine about free software. Our focus was on the paper version, and therefore the website was somewhat neglected. The way the magazine evolved showed us that that initial decision was a mistake. People clearly didn't want another paper magazine—the popularity of our web site, and the lack of interest in the paper magazine, showed clearly that we needed to focus more on the online audience.
The first version of the web site was static, with (rather ugly) Perl scripts generating files. On top of it sat b2evolution, which allowed our authors to keep blogs. We had to personally assign articles by hand, and the system was messy to say the very least.
Then I started researching CMSes (Content Management Systems). I knew what I was looking for—but what I didn't know, was that I wasn't going to find it. I needed something that automatically managed the article's workflow—from the author to the editor, back to the author, and so on—and would allow everybody to see what had changed. The system needed to send assignment emails automatically, and publish the articles on a web site—on the front page, and in an organised issue.
It was a lot to ask. In fact, it was too much. What I needed, was a CMS that offered a lot "out of the box", and still had the possibility of extending it to implement the workflow I wanted.
I could describe how I picked Drupal after extensive research and testing. I could describe how I discovered that it was the easiest CMS to extend, and basically allowed me to create exactly what I wanted in exactly 4 weeks, day 1 to deployment (I am a terrible programmer, and I am slow...!).
The truth is, I picked Drupal because many sites seemed to use it, I knew a little bit of PHP, and because Linux Journal used it. If it was good enough for Linux Journal, it was definitely going to be good enough for Free Software Magazine! So, I did it: I brushed up on my PHP skills, I installed Drupal 4.7 (it was still an early beta), got the documentation out, got the critically important
node_example.php file, and... got started.
The end result was something that worked fine. However, because of a few key factors (see: poor programming skills, lack of time, an approximate understanding of Drupal, and so on), the system was anything but state of the art software.
It worked! It allowed us to run the magazine, revisions, and the workflow the way "it should be". However, because of the key factors I listed above, our jewel still had problems: the code still had comments from
node_example.php; a few things were hard-coded when they should have been configurable; a few things were just plain wrong from a Drupal perspective; the module expected several key patches to Drupal, which made upgrading "less than optimal" (read: a complete nightmare); the system wasn't tidy: several functionalities were duplicated in the theme and in various Drupal modules; unfortunately, the list goes on and on, and unfortunately this is precisely why the first version of our custom Drupal modules were, quite simply, bad software.
It took me personally four months to work through everything I wrote, reorganise it, comment it properly, document it, port it to Drupal 5, and release it. The custom modules are now perfectly commented, there is pretty much nothing hard-coded, they play well with Drupal, they don't require patches, there is no duplication, and so on.
I am in the process of releasing these modules to Drupal 5, so that everybody out there can create their own magazine and have a neat system to organise the contents in issues and use a state-of-the-art workflow system. This will get people to improve the modules further, and will give something back to the same community that has been supporting us for such a long time.
Free Software Magazine's web site now runs on Drupal 5; we can now comfortably add many more features and know that we are using a fantastic CMS that will stay around forever. So, to sum up this editorial: we upgraded everything to Drupal 5, ported, improved and released our custom-made modules, and are preparing to roll-out more and more exciting features.
So... enjoy!
Good job. I love the feeling of finishing writing a piece of really elegant code. Glad you're sharing it too. :)
Great job! Good luck.
Printable view?
Issue 16 had a printable view added after so many comments about the need for such. Issue 17 seems to be missing this feature. I assume this is just part of the growing pains of moving to the new setup, but just to make sure... a printable view is absolutely mandatory for FSM to be useful.
downloadable mags
Is there a feature to still download the mags like previous issues, lots of time, I like to read it when I am travelling
and have no internet access.
Kudos !!
I really never imagined there was so much work behind getting an online mag up and running... successfully !!
I always thought, the editors just wrote the articles and handed it over to the Web guys to be included on the website.
But it was truly inspiring to read your struggle , albiet in brief.
Keep up the good work !! You are doing an awesome job !!!
CMS programs
Did you get a chance to try out the seaside application? From all reports it seems to be an easy system to implement, but I can not speak from personal experience be cause I have no need for a CMS system. Google "squeak: seaside" for best results or better yet Raymond Leon's Blog http://onsmalltalk.com/ and follow his journey on setting up a seaside server.
Bad Advertising
I know you probably need to cover your costs somehow, but the prominent advertising for "freeware" and "shareware" (in the right hand column), various Google adverts (in the left hand column and embedded in articles), and banner adverts presumably selling proprietary software really undermine the message of this site.
Advertising is advertising
I will only write it once.
Advertising is advertising. Open your local newspaper, open the New York Times. You will see ads.
Advertising is how we pay FSM's bills, and that's how we plan to pay authors in the future.
No magazine has ever endorsed the advertising it carries. Advertising is not endorsement, and a magazine with ads is better than no magazine at all.
Tony Mobily
Advertising is advertising.
There is of course, a very simple way to not have advertisements -- produce a version of FSM without ads that you have to subscribe to to see. If people really value eliminating the ads, they'll buy into it.
Of course, past experiments suggest that such complaints are all mouth -- the previous subscription based models for FSM were not terribly successful. Unfortunately, you have to pay attention to what people do, rather than what they say, in order to know what they really think. That's just the way it is, though -- no worse here than anywhere else.
Take their money I say!
If the advertisers are happy with advertising a proprietary product on Free Software Magazine then I say take their money. Let's be honest how likely are they to get a real return from the people reading this?
if they can't target their advertising to the right demographic - let them pay up :o)
Advertising shouldn't merge into the content
Yes, thanks for the lecture on the "hard rules of business". You will find, however, that newspapers are generally obliged to label advertising content clearly as such; this site's adverts (in the right hand column) merge into the site content without so much as a disclaimer, so people who don't know what Free Software is might think that "Shareware Pages - A directory of newest and quality shareware" or "Free Downloads - Archive of free shareware and freeware downloads daily updated" is something related to that topic when we (the insiders) know that this is not the case.
A simple disclaimer plus some kind of visual separation between the content and the adverts would go a long way to fixing this issue, even if you can't control the adverts on your page. Personally, I can't understand sites who don't try and exercise some control over advertising, but then I'm neither in the publishing business nor looking to subsidise my hosting costs through advertising.
I notice the avatars are all set to the default one now. Does the new design mean we have to resubmit them or are they just disabled for a while?
Still ironing out some wrinkles
Great move :)
I am in the process of releasing these modules to Drupal 5, so that everybody out there can create their own magazine and have a neat system to organise the contents in issues and use a state-of-the-art workflow system.
When ready warn us :)
The site might look the
The site might look the same, but it really, really isn't...
Thats a bit like those wireless NICs with the same model number, but a different chipset :)
soft screen vs hard copy
1st off - congratulations on a top rate mag. Good and enjoyable reading. 2nd - I travel a lot and don't want to cart large amounts of paper through the clusterf that our airports have become, let alone struggle with such on planes. I can generally balance my laptop on top of the plastic food so a saveable full copy of the current issue would be magic - I tend to agree with ErnieDV comment on a a "printable" version - or full doc in one html page view.
Would make the journey so much easier - keep up the good work - DaveW
I Love this site. The font is my lovely font so I read the page with heart :)
Unfortunately, I can't keep it in my computer except I doing something like "karma"?
I don't know. But until now (15 minutes) after subscribe/register. Everything looks OK.
Great jobs guys.aanset

SCOOBA – With the national championship of junior college football at stake, the second-ranked Lions of East Mississippi Community College travel to Yuma, Ariz., to meet the home-standing and top-ranked Matadors of Arizona Western College Saturday afternoon in the El Toro Bowl – presented by Time Warner Cable. Kickoff for the 2011 NJCAA Football Championship at AWC's Veterans Memorial Stadium is slated for 2:30 p.m. MT (3:30 p.m. CT).
With video and audio production services provided by Meridian-based Prep Sports Network Now (www.psnnow.com), in conjunction with the NJCAA and Arizona Western College, Saturday's national championship contest is scheduled to be televised live locally on My Mississippi (WCBI-DT2). My MS can be viewed by all cable and over the air households in the Columbus/Tupelo market, which includes but not limited to the Mississippi counties of Calhoun, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Clay, Itawamba, Lee, Lowndes, Monroe, Montgomery, Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Tishomingo, Union, Webster, Winston and Yalobusha, as well as Lamar County in Alabama. In addition, WCBI-TV's channel for over the air viewers is channel 4.2.
Additionally, through the combined efforts of the NJCAA, iHigh.com and Arizona Western's Matador Sports Network, a live video-streamed broadcast of Saturday's NJCAA-sanctioned championship gridiron contest will also be available online at www.njcaatv.ihigh.com.
As was the case throughout the regular season and during the MACJC State Playoffs, Saturday's national title clash between EMCC and AWC will be broadcast live on WFCA-FM Radio, 107.9 out of French Camp, with Jason Crowder and Glen Beard calling the play-by-play action along with John Lyle Briggs handling the sideline reporting duties. The live audio-streamed radio broadcast can also be accessed online through EMCC's athletics website - http://athletics.eastms.edu – as well as by logging onto www.wfcafm108.com.
Pitting a pair of undefeated (11-0) teams, Saturday's EMCC-AWC gridiron battle will mark a rematch of the 2009 Mississippi Bowl played in Biloxi. Two years ago at Biloxi Indian Stadium, the EMCC Lions, ranked fifth nationally at the time, claimed a 27-24 victory over then-No. 6 Arizona Western. In that prior meeting, East Mississippi jumped out to an early 13-0 lead and held a 20-17 advantage at halftime. After 17 unanswered points by the AWC Matadors, the Randall Mackey-led Lions reclaimed the lead for good with a touchdown on the final play of the third quarter. Battling through a scoreless fourth quarter by both teams, EMCC secured the program's first-ever, 11-win season with a pair of pass interceptions over the game's final four minutes.
As was the case in 2009 when the two teams met in the Mississippi Bowl, this year's EMCC-AWC bowl matchup figures to feature a run-oriented Matador offense versus the Lions' top-rated passing attack. Under the record-breaking, quarterbacking leadership of NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year candidate Bo Wallace, East Mississippi continues to lead the NJCAA in team passing offense and total team offense, averaging 380.5 yards through the air and 553.2 yards of total offense per game on the year. With sophomore running back Damien Williams leading the way as the nation's top rusher (162.3 yards per game), Arizona Western is ranked sixth nationally as a team in averaging 246 rushing yards per contest for the season. Additionally, AWC owns the NJCAA's top-rated defensive unit against the run, allowing an average of only 34.2 rushing yards per game on the year.
In addition to already establishing new single-season NJCAA standards for most passing yards (4,118) and total offense yards (4,324), EMCC's Wallace, a former redshirt at Arkansas State University by way of Pulaski, Tenn., needs four more touchdown passes to match the current NJCAA season record of 50 touchdowns thrown by Tony DeLeon of Vermilion Community College (Minn.) in 1992.
Along with Wallace, East Mississippi CC features several other players ranked among the nation's individual offensive statistical leaders. In becoming the Lions' first 1,000-yard rusher since current Tampa Bay Buccaneers back LeGarrette Blount, EMCC freshman running back Rodriguez Moore (Bastrop, La.) ranks fifth nationally with 1,196 rushing yards this year. Among the Lions' talented receiving corps, sophomore Lacoltan Bester, of Kemper County, stands third among NJCAA leaders in receptions (68) and receiving yards (980), in addition to ranking second with 15 touchdown receptions and tied for ninth in scoring among non-kickers with 90 points. Sophomore receiver/returner Rodney Davis (Millbrook, Ala.) stands seventh in the NJCAA with 836 receiving yards (on 43 catches) and fifth with 600 kickoff return yards (on 21 runbacks).
Defensively, freshman safety Justin Cox, of West Point, is in a 12th-place tie with five pass interceptions on the year. On special teams, sophomore placekicker Taylor Walker, from Northwest Rankin High School, is tied for fifth nationally among kickers with 82 points scored on 67-of-71 point-after-touchdown tries and 5-of-10 field-goal attempts.
Under the guidance of 2011 NJCAA Region 23 and MACJC North Division Coach of the Year Buddy Stephens, the EMCC Lions have put together a composite overall record of 35-8 (.814) dating back to the 2008 season, including a pair of 11-win campaigns and two MACJC State/NJCAA Region 23 Championships over the past three years. East Mississippi has also claimed three MACJC North Division regular-season titles since 2008 with a collective division mark of 22-2 (.917).
With a similar success rate dating back to 2008, the Arizona Western College football program has compiled an equally impressive four-year record of 35-9 (.795) under the direction of head coach Tom Minnick. The Matadors captured their third consecutive Western States Football League (WSFL) championship this season by reaching the 11-win plateau for the first time in school history.
Statistically, both East Mississippi and Arizona Western have put up tremendous offensive numbers this season. The Lions are averaging 46.7 points per contest, including five games with 50 or more points, and out-scoring the opposition by an average margin of nearly 26 points an outing. Similarly, the Matadors are ringing up an average of 50.5 points a game while giving up only 11.1 points per contest on the year.
After a 38-year hiatus, the El Toro Bowl returns to the national scene for the first time since 1972 when home-standing Arizona Western claimed a 36-8 victory over Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College to cap an undefeated season and seal the Matadors' first-ever National Championship. The El Toro Bowl previously ranked as one of the NJCAA's premier bowl games during a five-year span (1968-72) four decades ago.
East Mississippi Community College is bidding to become the fifth school from the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) to garner at least a share of the NJCAA Football Championship. Most recently, Mississippi Gulf Coast CC claimed a share of the 2007 National Championship with Butler CC (Kan.). The MGCCC Bulldogs also previously won national titles in 1984 and 1971. With current EMCC head coach Buddy Stephens as well as current EMCC associate head coach/defensive coordinator William Jones on the coaching staff at Pearl River CC, the Wildcats earned the 2004 NJCAA National Championship. During back-to-back years two decades ago, Mississippi Delta and Northwest Mississippi claimed national titles in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The Northwest Rangers also previously collected national team honors in 1982.

Cal coach Mike Montgomery believes Stanford's starting five might be as good as any in the Pac-12. "Their depth is an issue," he added, "not unlike a lot of us."
When the Bears (9-4) and Cardinal (9-3) meet Thursday evening at Maples Pavilion in the Pac-12 opener for both teams, neither will have the backcourt manpower it expected when the season began.
For Stanford, senior guard Aaron Bright (shoulder) is gone for the season. Cal is without junior guard Ricky Kreklow (broken hand) for at least three more weeks and freshman guard Jabari Bird (sprained ankle) for the immediate future.
How each team adjusts to its personnel losses will impact how it fares in a Pac-12 that is both stronger at the top and with fewer easy outs at the bottom of the lineup.
Coach Johnny Dawkins said the Cardinal misses Bright's leadership and experience. "As far as what we do structurally offensively," he said, "we haven't had to change."
That's because the Cardinal is running a variation of the triangle offense with 6-foot-10 forward Dwight Powell serving as primary facilitator. Dawkins compared Powell's role to that of Scottie Pippen of the Michael Jordan-led Bulls.
"It plays to his strengths," said Dawkins of Powell, who is Stanford's No. 2 scorer (14.3 points per game) and rebounder (7.7) but also its leading assist man (4.2). "He can score, but he's a willing passer."
Junior guard Chasson Randle brings the ball up court, then is freed up to score. "Why would you want to slow down one of your best scoring options?" Dawkins asked. The Cardinal hasn't, and Randle is sixth in the Pac-12 at 18.7 points per game.
Montgomery said the emphasis on eliminating hand-checking by the defense has only made Randle tougher.
"The way the rules are now, he's getting a lot of foul shots," Montgomery said. "He just drives it at you, and there's contact. He's hard to guard."
"I'm not looking for fouls. It's a matter of me just being aggressive," Randle said.
Cal's injuries will give freshman guards Jordan Mathews and Sam Singer more playing time. Senior Jeff Powers will get the chance to build on a surprise performance Saturday, when he made six 3-pointers against Furman.
Mostly, the Bears will lean on senior point guard Justin Cobbs, who must find offense for himself and his teammates.
"He needs to be a scorer for us," Montgomery said. "But it can't be one or the other way -- it's got to be both, like a good guard should do."
Cobbs saw himself as chiefly a distributor early this season but has come to understand what the team needs from him.
"It's just making the easy play," he said. "With Jabari and Ricky out, I'll take that open shot and take it with confidence."
What the two have combined to achieve statistically is even more impressive.
The Ogwumikes have become just the second set of siblings in Division I history to each top 2,000 career points and 1,000 rebounds. Their current numbers: Chiney has 2,079 points and 1,257 rebounds, Nneka had 2,491 points and 1,226 rebounds in a career that ended in 2012.
The only other tandem to have jointly achieved the 2K/1K plateau: Brothers Greg Grant (2,127 points/1,003 rebounds) of Utah State and Josh Grant (2,000/1,066) of Utah.
The Warriors' Stephen Curry of Davidson and brother Seth of Liberty/Duke, and Chuck and Wesley Person, formerly of Auburn, all were 2,000-point scorers but were short of 1,000 rebounds.
At Oklahoma, Piedmont's Courtney Paris totaled 2,729 points and 2,034 rebounds while twin sister Ashley had the rebounds (1,064) but not enough points (1,273).
Cheryl Miller of USC and brother Reggie of UCLA combined to score more than 5,000 points, but only big sister (2,095) had the rebounds.

NH town clerk foils international auto scam
First it was a $70,000 Mercedes-Benz GL350. Then another one, followed by a BMW X6 and a Porsche Cayenne. All were paid for in cash. Jane Goss, the town clerk and tax collector in tiny Sanbornton, N.H., realized something was fishy after a local man started coming into her office every few weeks to register high-end SUVs.

Sup everyone! So, today I was playing 1 on 1 with some of the members of my team. School just got in so we wanted to see how we've improved. Anyway them knowing me they guarded loosely because they knew my shooting wasn't the best. I won but I had to shoot and got blocked a few times. I guess I'm not used to getting open off the dribble for a shot because I'm so used to driving. Can anyone give me some tips or moves I can do so I can get open and avoid the shameful block?
So I'm a little guy and get my shot blocked often :/ It's is pretty shameful. But do you know what's worst? Pumping them dirty and then taking an easy layup. I guess just pump fake alot. Do some stepbacks a few times than stepback, look up, cross and drive by. Bottom line, if a guy is biggger than you, he's going to want to swat you. Use pump fakes often, floaters are a great aspect to add to your game. It looks really bad when they miss a block or hit your arm. So be aggressive a few times let them get embarrassed. They will let off a little. Hope I helped.
Oh hey man this really helped! Tried it today and it worked! I just need to improve my step back cause it's not too great right now It'll come with time and hard work! But thanks again!
I don't suggest you do it in a game unless your amazing at it but once you practice it a lot, dribble the ball between THEIR legs. I do it all the time and some times even pass the ball to some people throw the defenders legs. I passed through my defenders legs in a pickup game, no one was expecting it and it went right to my guy, underneath the basket, easy layup. But it's an easy way for me to get by my man on a fast break in pickup or 1on1. But don't do it too much or else the defender will know it's comin and stop it before it gets between their legs. I learned that the hard way. Lost that 1on1.
Hahaha! I'm all for flashy stuff. Looks cool. But between their legs is something I don't do. Ain't my style. Besides my friends play too far back for me to throw it between their legs. and in games guys will guard me. Even if the coach tells them to loosen up on me they are going to be close enough for me to cross them up or get by them. Although I might try throwing it between their legs on a fastbreak. That would be good for the mixtape
Ya that tape might get you a scholarship!! But the reason I started doin the between their leg dribbles and passes is cuz I was watchin a Suns bball game and Steve Nash drove into the lane and when a defender tried to block his shot he passed it right between there legs for an easy bucket. And in the Rising Stars game during All Star weekend Ricky Rubio was runnin a fast break and Demarcus Cousins tried to stop him. Rubio dribbled it through his legs and made him look like a fool!!!!!!! Keep a close eye on those guys durin the season, I'm almost positive they'll do it at least once durin the season!!!!!!!
Hey man, Im a seinor this year in high school and am the starting pg. I do not get that much respect on my shot either. My advice is to shoot with confidence. There is no reason to shoot the ball if you dont believe that its going in. I finally learned that. 2 moves I worked on this summer were: Do a jab step either to the right or left, then once you jab forward cross back the other way. make sure you get a lot of space on the cross and then pull up 1, 2 step. Im a righty so I jab left (big step, sell it), cross back right and am perfectly squared to the basket. The other one is to keep your head up and to act like your about to drive and then a quick 1,2 step make sure you jump high off the ground, release off your finger tips and hold your follow through. Keep ballen and Good luck with everything #Ballislife

The 49ers' good-citizen reputation has slipped in the past week with scandalous headlines involving quarterback Colin Kapernick, wide receiver Quinton Patton, safety Chris Culliver and linebacker Aldon Smith.
The Bay Area News Group queried sports marketing experts Monday -- a day after Smith's "bomb threat" incident at Los Angeles International Airport -- to see how the spate of alleged transgressions might affect the team's brand.
Here are the highlights:
Kenneth Shropshire, an author, legal consultant to the NFL and MLB and Wharton School of Business professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
On sullying the team brand:
"They will get a big pass by virtue of the new facility. It's a three- to five-year honeymoon period. It's good timing for bad activity."
On controlling players' actions:
"The 49ers have the best people in the world working with them with Dr. Harry Edwards. That is an indicator of how difficult it is."
Bob Dorfman, sports marketing expert at San Francisco's Baker Street Advertising
On the team's image:
"Football seems to be teflon-coated when it comes to these kind of things. Winning and the games seem to supercede any kind of negativity that happens in the offseason or the week before a game. Ultimately, the NFL is so strong and powerful and so big in ratings none of this stuff seems to have a tremendous effect on the league.
"The bigger picture prevails. And the bigger picture is they got a new stadium, they are a Super Bowl-caliber team, they seem to keep winning and that's all most people seem to care about in the long run."
On what management needs to do:
"The 49ers do have to show they are addressing the problem and they are serious about it and they are not enabling these guys to do these kinds of things.
"With Aldon Smith's case, they may have to cut to the chord with him. He may be beyond help. It's getting to that stage where they've given him chances and he may have bigger problems than the team can solve at this point."
David Spencer, partner and managing director of sports and international operations at Talent Resources
On the impact on the franchise:
"In the short-term there is some negative consequences for the image of the brand, especially for the 49ers, who for the past 25 years have been one of the marquee brands in all professional sports."
On why the incidents are happening:
"This misbehavior stems from (the fact) there hasn't been any consequences from their actions. Management needs to have fines and suspensions for the players just like any other sport would have done. In the end it does start from the top. These guys need to be corralled sooner than later."
On solving the issues:
"I have no doubt the team will rally around the players and get this issue solved. They don't really have a choice. It goes back to the team's move. They've got brand partners to answer to. It's not only the team but the Levi's of the world and other brand partners."
Paul Swangard, managing director of James H. Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at University of Oregon
On NFL image makers:
"The NFL has dealt with myriad of issues, whether it is concussions, dog fighting, attempted murder, shootings.
The most important thing is wins and loses and the games that are going to be played. That tends to drown out the negative. The consumers of the NFL ultimately want to watch the players play, not necessarily want to think about all the shenanigans they get themselves into."
On 49ers fans reaction:
"It won't be a huge hit to the brand -- if we've reached the zenith of the headline; if the police choose not to do anything in Florida. It goes off into the night and people get back to focusing on what they want to focus on, which is football."
On team's ability to control their image:
"You are able to mitigate the damage of some of these negative headlines when you've done everything you can as an organization to build goodwill. While you can't control the action of your players you can do a lot to protect the franchise's brand from being dragged into the mud."
Matt Levine, former Sharks executive and Bay Area sports marketing consultant
On the NFL's role:
"Overriding each individual franchise is the league brand. And the National Football League, more than any other sports league, drives the overall sport. People follow the league, with the fantasy football and the wagering, far more than individual teams."
On fans' views of athletes:
"Even these activities with Kaepernick and Aldon Smith really are a bump in the road. I think fans don't elevate athletes onto the pedestal heights the way they used to. More and more people have learned about the private lives of athletes, and they're not surprised by these things. As athletes get in trouble and show questionable judgment, fans just become numb to it all. And they're far more concerned about how it will affect their team's play."
On the 49ers' reaction to the transgressions:
"The most important thing now is how ismanagement handling it? It really gets down to leadership, from the ownership to the coaches. If they don't want to put their heads in the sand and don't take this lightly, they can look out for what's best for both the team and the individual. In the past, the 49ers have handled problems like this very well."

Two Spartanburg residents arrested in Union, charged with burglaries
Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 6:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 6:54 p.m.
Two Spartanburg residents were arrested on a multitude of charges after Union County deputies responded to a car fire Tuesday morning.
According to a written statement from the Union County Sheriff's Office, Union deputies were called to a wreck with a car on fire about 8:30 a.m. on Pulpwood Yard Road.
When officers arrived, they found Anna Paige Sanders, 24, and Thomas Milon Campbell Jr., 32, both of 710 White Stone Road, Spartanburg, at the scene. The two told deputies that the driver of the vehicle ran into the woods.
Deputies had seen Sanders and Campbell throwing white pills into the woods as well, an incident report states. During a search, a deputy found three handguns on Campbell and an empty holster on Sanders, the report states.
Around the burning vehicle, a Buick Rendezvous, deputies also noticed guns, a flat screen television and other items that looked out of place. They also found plastic bottles they believe were used to produce methamphetamine, according to deputies.
After the fire was extinguished, deputies were able to obtain the SUV's vehicle identification number and found that the it had been reported stolen to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, according to deputies.
The Union County Sheriff's Office bloodhound unit was called to the scene but the dog didn't pick up a scent of a third person, according to the written statement. Sanders and Campbell then admitted to officers that they were the only two people in the vehicle and they had lied to officers in an attempt to keep themselves out of trouble.
Investigators believe the two are responsible for breaking into two homes, on Lemondate Road and Jeffries Farm Road, where items such as guns, a flat screen TV, diabetic medications and other items were stolen, according to incident reports.
All items stolen during the burglaries were recovered by the Union County Sheriff's Office.
Sanders and Campbell remain at the Union County Jail awaiting bond hearings in circuit court.

We're all aware of the virtues of positive thinking, although I would venture to guess that few of us actually practice it on a regular basis. However when it comes to young athletes the power of positive thinking can do wonders to accelerate or damage your athlete's on the field success.
Henry Ford is quoted as saying, "Either you think you can or think you can't and either way you are right." Over one hundred years removed from that quote Mr. Ford was right; the power of our minds to determine our success is indisputable. One's belief in his or her ability to achieve a specific goal or intention lays the rock solid foundation for it's attainment.
For a young athlete, particularly in a difficult sport like softball or baseball, his or her ability to develop a strong sense of belief in his or her on the field success is paramount to that outcome actually happening. Positive self talk is a great way to start your athlete on the right track for bolstering his or her belief system.
Positive self talk is success programming that the subconscious mind gladly accepts and acts upon. It is an easy skill to teach your athlete and one that he or she can practice and refine to improve every part of his or her game (as well as grades!).
Because softball and baseball throw so much adversity at an athlete his or her ability to bounce back from mistakes is crucial to both his or her mastery of and enjoyment for the game. Negative self talk after an error or poor at bat will only serve to perpetuate his or her poor performance as this kind of "past" thinking will rob your athlete of the present moment focus required for success.
A rock solid belief in his or her success by your athlete is a journey that will take time to cultivate and master. Positive self talk practiced on a daily basis will help to accelerate that mastery. Here are some baseball/softball related positive self talk "trigger statements" your athlete can start using today to improve his or her game:
If you notice I have put an exclamation point after each positive trigger statement. I did so because each positive trigger statement should be accompanied by joy and conviction.
Instilling the power of belief for success is a great gift any parent can give his or her child, whether for the ball field or the classroom. Positive self talk is a great place to start building that rock solid belief and "can do" attitude!

CHICAGO -- It took the Chicago Blackhawks half the game to discover what they already knew, that perimeter shots with no one in front of the net won't get it done against the Los Angeles Kings -- or any team for that matter.
Once the Blackhawks figured that out, they did what they do best: strike quickly to take a lead they rarely give up.
Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa scored less than four minutes apart in the second period Saturday at United Center, solving Kings goalie Jonathan Quick with a rebound goal and a tip-in goal. Chicago's NHL-best penalty kill did its job in the third period, and Corey Crawford finished with 21 saves in a 2-1 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final.
The Blackhawks improved to 6-0 in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs when leading after two periods. They were 26-1-2 in such games during the regular season. They're also 42-for-43 on the penalty kill in the playoffs.
"We knew we were coming into the series with Quick, he's a great goalie, you can tell by the amazing saves he made out there," Blackhawks center Dave Bolland said. "He's great in transition and going side to side. We peppered him and gave him all we did. We had the bodies in front, and that's what we have to keep doing. [We] have to work it down low and keep getting the bodies to the net."
The Kings left the first period with a 1-0 lead but never established their forecheck and had trouble negating the Blackhawks' speed once they finally got going shortly after the midway point.
Los Angeles' goal came when Justin Williams redirected Bolland's failed clearing attempt past Crawford with 5:37 left in the first.
The Kings now have six losses in the playoffs this year -- all 2-1. They are 1-6 on the road after going 10-1 last spring on the way to their first Stanley Cup.
Game 2 is this best-of-7 series is Sunday at United Center (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, TSN, RDS).
"We didn't deserve to win that game," said Kings center Jarret Stoll, who returned after missing the final six games of the conference semifinals with a concussion. "That's the bottom line. I don't think any of us in here can say we deserved to win that game, so we didn't."
The Blackhawks held a misleading 17-2 first-period advantage in shots on goal. Most were from the outside, and Quick saw them all. Most were not dangerous. They rarely had bodies in front of the net.
All that changed in the second period, when Sharp scored his eighth goal of the playoffs off a rebound from the slot at 12:29 to tie the game 1-1. Hossa scored his sixth of the postseason with a tip-in from the slot 3:53 later to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead.
The Blackhawks had a 31-14 advantage in shots on goal through two periods -- and with a 2-1 lead, the shot differential now mattered. It proved Chicago was getting rewarded for playing the way it wanted to play and that Los Angeles never could get to its heavy forechecking game, the style that has been so successful for six straight rounds in the playoffs.
"You give up 17 shots in a period, even if they're coming from outside or from the walls, it means you're not playing in their zone," Kings defenseman Matt Greene said. "We've gotta have more O-zone time and establish our game. We're a grinding team, and that's what we've gotta do. We've gotta put more pucks behind their D and forecheck as units as five."
The Blackhawks don't always have to put pucks behind the Kings defense because they're more adept at scoring off the rush. However, the key to making their rush opportunities count against the Kings is to get in the right position so they can make good on their second-chance opportunities because they know Quick is likely going to stop the first one. That's what Sharp did to score his goal.
Michal Handzus made a quick pass up the ice to Sharp to clear the zone and start a 2-on-2 rush. Sharp came into the offensive zone with speed, dropped a pass to Johnny Oduya, who was trailing him, and darted to the net. Oduya shot, and Sharp evaded Kings defenseman Drew Doughty to pounce on the juicy rebound that came off Quick's left pad. Sharp shot it into the net, inches from Quick's already stretched out left leg.
It was the blueprint for how the Blackhawks have to beat Quick.
"That first shot against [Quick] is tough," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "You need traffic. You need a deflection. He finds a way to find pucks. I think the volume of shots and traffic is the only way to get to this guy."
That's how Chicago got to Quick again with 3:38 left in the second period, with a shot from the point, traffic in front of the net, and a deflection by Hossa, who gained inside position on Kings center Mike Richards.
"He's one of the fastest goalies in the League, if not the fastest," Hossa said of Quick, who made 34 saves. "Whatever he sees, he's going to stop it. You have to have traffic in front of him, pin him in the blue paint, and put lots of pucks in the corners or in his feet and go for the second chances."
The Kings felt they were better in the third period, but coach Darryl Sutter commented on how he didn't get nearly enough from his top players throughout the game. Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter, Richards and Doughty combined for four shots on goal.
Sutter said they were "having trouble keeping up."
"We had guys fall off," he also said. "Shifts fell off primarily from the top end of our lineup. It's tough to sustain it."
Especially when the Blackhawks figure out how they can beat you.
"We need to get inside and look for our second and third opportunities," Bickell said. "Hopefully we can get that and crack [Quick] a little bit more."

"There is planetary karmic build-up. It's nothing the planet did: more like a pattern of energy on the planet," replies Kuan Yin. "Whenever an event occurs, there is a "planetary imprint". Energies are drawn to that imprint. Energies are then drawn to the existing energies.The energies that are here on earth have free will. When you mix free will you get certain deviants. It is intended to be a planet for this purpose. Earth represents a certain grade similar to a school. It's all a grand experiment. It's possible to completely re-create this earth," insists Kuan Yin. "You'll kill yourselves before you kill the earth...We're talking in dualities because dualities are built into your language. You think that just because there is an absence of good, for instance, that evil exists. This is not so. In fact, things are far more intricate."

San Diego: An Evening Downtown
After a day at the San Diego Zoo, on Saturday night, Brittanny and I headed downtown for the evening. We went to the Beach Bar at The W Hotel, decorated with heated sand, huge TV screens, and private cabanas you can rent. Apparently it's quite the hot spot and Adrian Grenier, the actor who plays Vincent Chase on Entourage was even going to be there later that night. After a drink and some delicious edamame, we moved on to the Gaslamp Quarter, a historic district with lots of restaurants and bars. Our dinner reservations were at Osetra Water Grill (formerly the Fish House) and the ambiance inside the restaurant was very cool. Osetra has really high ceilings surrounding the bar and they store all of their wine in a "three-story wine tower" that extends up to the ceiling. The bartenders get harnessed in and are basically suspended in air when they need to retrieve a bottle of wine. (I feel like there was a photo shoot once on America's Next Top Model with a similar theme. Am I right?)
Osetra was not very crowded so we got good attention and our waiter served us pretty quickly, maybe too quickly. Our waiter made it clear from the beginning that I would not be able to have any of the sauces because they thicken them with flour. I'm ok with that, but I don't really understand why some restaurants still feel the need to thicken all of their sauces with flour. There are so many good alternatives to a roux and a floured-sauce. In my culinary opinion, flourless sauces have better flavors and show off a higher level of cooking. Anyways, I'll step down from my soap box now because I can't complain too much about the meal, since it was still quite tasty, even without a sauce. For a first course, I ordered the organic greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette. A nice, simple salad but nothing fancy. For my main course, I ordered the pan seared salmon (sans chive buerre blanc) with sautéed spinach and herb-roasted fingerling potatoes. The chef cooked the salmon perfectly and the spinach and potatoes complemented the salmon well.
If you're looking for a nice seafood restaurant (with items on the menu for meat eaters as well) in the Gaslamp District, I would definitely recommend Osetra. The menu was pretty predictable, but both of our dishes were well made and flavorful. The service was good and they kept me gluten-free.
After dinner we went across the street to the wine bar, Vin de Syrah, for a drink. This bar was so cool for many reasons. I won't give away all of their secrets but it very much has an Alice in Wonderland theme going on. You enter on the ground level and go down a stair case to enter the actual bar. Once you get downstairs, you enter another room to get into the bar. Let's just say the entrance is difficult to find, and leads to a little embarrassment once discovered. The décor inside is full of upside down umbrellas large fake flowers and other trippy decorations. As I'm reading what I've written, this description makes Vin de Syrah sound cheesy, but I promise, on the inside it does not feel like you're at Disney Land. This 'parlor' as its name describes it, gives off a distinctly unique vibe, while remaining classy.
Vin de Syrah has a plethora of fun drinks and a great wine selection. We each enjoyed a drink, did some great people watching and headed back to Coronado Bay. If you're staying in Coronado Bay, it's definitely worth spending at least one night down town in Gaslamp, as it's an entirely different feel, and the average age drops by about 30 years when you migrate downtown.

Children's Health
Preschoolers Who Sleep Less Weigh More by Age 7
May 26, 2011 -- How much sleep a child gets may affect their weight and their body fat.
That's according to a new study, published in BMJ.
The study found that preschoolers who sleep less are more likely to be overweight or obese by the time they're 7 years old, even when diet and other lifestyle factors are taken into account.
And most of that added weight is stored fat, not muscle.
Sleep appeared to influence a child's body weight more than both diet and physical activity. Only maternal weight mattered more, in the researchers' final analysis.
"The magnitude of the sleep effect was bigger than I expected," says study researcher Barry Taylor, MBChB, head of the department of women and children's health in the Dunedin School of Medicine at the University of Otago in New Zealand.
Experts who were not involved in the study say the findings are an important contribution, and if anything, probably underestimate the effect of sleep on weight.
"I think it's consistent with what's been seen in some of the other research that's been focused on this age group," says Michelle Garrison, PhD, a research scientist at Seattle Children's Research Institute. "Poor sleep during the preschool ages really does seem to be associated with subsequent increased BMI scores."
The study didn't account for periods of time that children might spend awake in the middle of the night in their beds, Garrison points out.
"Night wakings can be pretty common in kids this age," she says. For example, she says a child that has a "sleep duration" of 11 hours might really have only slept for 9.5 of those hours, after taking the child's night wakings into account.
But "that difference doesn't discount their findings," Garrison tells WebMD. "If anything, I think if they had looked at true total sleep, the findings would have been even stronger."
Tracking Childhood Sleep and Body Weight
For the study, researchers followed 244 children from ages 3 through 7, regularly checking their sleep time, physical activity, diet, body mass, and fat distribution.

U.S. Air Force Leads the Nation in Green Power Purchases
The members of the organization buying the most green power in the United States often wear green themselves—camouflage green, that is. In 2004, the largest U.S. buyer of green power was the U.S. Air Force, which bought more than 321,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy, with bases in California, Texas, New Mexico, Washington, and North and South Dakota leading the way. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list of the top 25 buyers of green power participating in its Green Power Partnership, released on April 19th, also includes the U.S. Navy, the EPA, DOE, the U.S. General Services Administration, and the World Bank. The top companies on the list include Johnson & Johnson, Whole Foods Market, and WhiteWave Foods. Together, the top 25 EPA Green Power Partners are buying more than 1.6 million megawatt-hours of renewable power each year. See the U.S. Air Force press release, the EPA press release, and the EPA's top 25 list.
The Air Force's green power purchases are hardly a fluke, in fact, a report released in March by the Department of Defense (DoD) concluded that green power purchases can provide its largest source of renewable energy, although the DoD prefers the energy security benefits of on-site production of renewable energy. The study found the potential for 70 average megawatts of wind power at 109 DoD facilities as well as three or four possible sites for geothermal power plants, six to eight possible sites for geothermal heating systems, and 430 locations where some form of solar energy use is practical.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, April 25, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Georgia Regents University has its eye on even more expansion. City leaders wonder if the price tag could be too high. The latest plan could include GRU taking over King and Sibley Mills to use as dormitories and classroom space.
Research and planning alone could add up to nearly $2 million.
"It would create sort of young life where these vacant buildings are," said John Hayes, who lives in Harrisburg.
Hayes runs a route passing the Mills daily. Hayes is in favor of using the Mills for GRU expansion.
"It's going to be a lot more accessible to more people," he said.
Mayor Deke Copenhaver agrees.
"You don't get an opportunity like this often. It's a good idea to continue using city resources," Copenhaver said.
More taxpayer money is needed.
"They must do this work in order for anyone to move forward with these properties. Some of the reasons why the properties are empty are because no one knows these answers," said Augusta Regional Collaboration Project Director Matthew Kwatinetz.
The developers behind this project plan to spend around $1 million on data collecting, programming and planning. They want the city to spend nearly $400,000. The mayor says it's a risk he's willing to take.
"I think it's well worth the investment for the future of the city," Copenhaver said.
Leaders spent around $400,000 on a disparity study. The findings have yet to be used. The city spent $13,000 on a transit study that reviewed ways of expanding bus service. In 2013, the bus service is exactly the same.
"We have done studies and assigned committees to implement findings. You need someone with the professional expertise to implement," Copenhaver said.
"I think it's a good gamble for the city to make," Hayes said.
Hayes' running route will continue to look the same until the Board of Regents decides which path to take.

New owner will give Halston design house major alteration
|Ben Malka, chairman and CEO of Halston, is photographed in his office in the company's design studios in Los Angeles, California, August 22, 2012. Malka, who took over the storied Halston last year, has moved part of its operations to L.A. from New York and is working to put the pizazz back in the brand. (Katie Falkenberg/Los Angeles Times/MCT)
But after decades of corporate turmoil, the label that once epitomized 1970s glamour in the Big Apple is getting a West Coast makeover - along with at least half a dozen stores and a fresh runway collection next year.
"I think L.A. is a hidden secret for fashion," said Chief Executive Ben Malka, 51, who took over the company last year and moved it to Southern California. "Fashion comes from music and cinema. We can go back to the beginning of cinematic history and look at the Oscars and see how clothing has evolved. So we are right in the hub. We just have to make the world know."
So far, this reinvented Halston remains mostly tucked behind a security gate and several guards in a studio and office complex in downtown Los Angeles. Amid blown-up sketches of Roy Halston's signature designs, a team of 120 designers, executives and patternmakers is working to put the pizzazz back into the brand that faded along with discotheques.
At the helm is Malka, who took over after retiring as president of Los Angeles clothier BCBG Max Azria Group Inc. He acquired majority ownership of Halston for an undisclosed sum. Private equity firms Hilco Consumer Capital and Genuity Capital also have a share, he said.
One of his first moves was to separate the Halston runway and contemporary sides of the business, moving the Halston Heritage line to Los Angeles while leaving the runway collection in New York.
Malka started by hiring a whole new crop of employees from top to bottom and crafting a four-year plan that covers such things as distribution targets and the fonts on company e-mails. His wife, Anita Jansens-Malka, is in charge of handbags and accessories, and former BCBG alumnus Marie Mazelis was brought on as chief creative officer.
An aggressive growth strategy calls for the opening of 50 to 100 stand-alone Halston Heritage stores nationwide in the next three years. As many as a dozen will open next year, including a shop in the Beverly Center and one on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The first runway show is set for fall 2013 in New York.
Walking through Halston's 30,000-square-foot offices in L.A., Malka said he wants to preserve what he called the "DNA of the label," saving the sleek minimalism of the past while modernizing it for the 21st century woman.
Every owner that has taken over since Halston sold the company in the 1970s has failed in its attempt to refresh the brand, said Hitha Prabhakar, a New York retail analyst. She has followed the parade of owners that has included Norton Simon Industries, Beatrice Foods and Revlon.
Filmmaker Harvey Weinstein even took a crack at making over the brand in 2007 with actress Sarah Jessica Parker as president and chief creative officer.
"There was a lot of internal turmoil," Prabhakar said. "Everyone was not on the same page in terms of where to take the brand. Is it going to relaunch with celebrities and be like the glory days of the '70s, or was it better to do brand extensions and try to make money?"
It didn't work, and by 2011 Malka took control of the Halston legacy, which got its start in the 1950s.
Roy Halston Frowick was born in Iowa, moved to New York in 1957 and began his career as a hat maker. He captured worldwide attention after he created the pillbox hat worn by John F. Kennedy's wife at his inauguration.
He later honed a luxe minimalist aesthetic channeled through his Ultrasuede shirtwaist dresses, jersey halter frocks and cat suits. It has influenced the designs of fashion heavyweights such as Calvin Klein, Tom Ford and Donna Karan.
A savvy marketer, he once flew Bianca Jagger and a flock of "Halstonette" models to the Great Wall of China to show how traditional Chinese silk can be incorporated into modern Western style. He also appeared in an episode of the television series "The Love Boat" along with designers Gloria Vanderbilt, Geoffrey Beene and Bob Mackie.
Things deteriorated for Halston after he went mass market by agreeing to a deal with J.C. Penney Co. to design low-priced clothing. It was decades before high-end designers partnering with H&M and Target became the norm, and the move was a disaster. Bergdorf Goodman and other luxe retailers promptly dropped his line.
Halston later tried unsuccessfully to buy back the company and the rights to his name. He died in 1990 of AIDS-related cancer.
The Halston Heritage line, now available at department stores and boutiques, is priced from $100 to $900 with some coats and dresses going for several thousand dollars. Handbags range from $300 to $800. The runway collection, still a year away, will be far higher: on par with other luxury couture prices, Malka said.
Prabhakar said that it's hard to gauge how well Halston Heritage is doing financially because the private company does not disclose sales figures. Judging from online retailers that carry the Halston Heritage line, she said, the summer collection doesn't look like a blockbuster. "It doesn't look like they moved a lot of merchandise."
"For so long, Halston has depended on that Studio 54, Bianca Jagger cachet," she said. "But there is a new generation out there who barely knows who Bianca Jagger is. So the problem is: How does it translate to the generation on Twitter?"

I want to recommend an interesting piece in Salon. Author Mary Elizabeth Williams writes about her participation in a Phase I immunotherapy clinical trial for a Stage 4 melanoma.

Today, PhRMA announced that we are transferring the future development of our benefit-risk assessment framework to the Centre for Innovation in Regulatory Science. As our press release stresses, this move is intended to further the framework - which we developed over the course of six years from an analytical model to a functional pilot program - so that the principles can be more broadly available for use by all stakeholders, from industry to regulators and healthcare providers.
Yesterday, the New York Times' Well blog posted a commentary on DTC advertising. Although its underlying tone was one of skepticism, it did briefly touch on a couple of useful points.
I think it's great that billionaire David Rubenstein has decided to donate half the $15 million needed to repair the damage to the Washington Monument from the earthquake last year. While I'm no David Rubenstein, I do appreciate the importance of giving back to your community, as do my colleagues. The staff at PhRMA have been participating in St. Matthew's Cathedral's annual Adopt-A-Family program for 6 years now. This year we were alarmed by the requests for basic items like dishes and bedding from our 'adopted families'.
In his recent commentary, Merill Goozner of the Fiscal Times looks at the affordability of cancer medicines. Goozner rightly points out that the biopharmaceutical industry is continuing to invest heavily in new treatments for this disease. However, access to treatment for chronic conditions such as cancer is a complex issue and the commentary fails to tell the entire story.
As I've mentioned before, mixed methodologies is an instant triple shot of espresso for me - I love the way humanities can influence the sciences, and the other way around.
President Obama's State of the Union address and its focus on jobs comes at a time when America's biopharmaceutical research sector is developing nearly 3,000 medicines and bringing new treatment options to patients in need today -- all while supporting high-value jobs. Remarkable innovation is underway. Good American jobs are being created. But this progress can't continue if policies don't embrace the work (see PhRMA President John Castellani's statement on Tuesday night's SOTU).
Like millions of other Americans, I'll be watching the president and Governor Daniels offer their ideas for helping to address our country's biggest challenges. As we eagerly anticipate the speeches, I will be especially focused on the framework they present for the future of high-quality health care and, specifically, how sound public policies can strengthen our collective ability to fight disease and keep Americans healthy.
A recent editorial in the Cherokee Chronicle Times highlights the importance of new medicines for patients. Innovative prescription medicines and treatments are saving lives and giving patients the opportunity for a healthier future. However, success requires immense resources - the best scientific minds, highly sophisticated technology and complex project management. It also takes persistence and, sometimes, luck.
Over the weekend, I watched a documentary called Objectified, about industrial design and the people who work in the field.

Biofuel production can contribute to industrial development and help create jobs. Potentially, biofuels can also play a useful role in tackling the issues of climate change and energy supply.
However, campaigning groups continue to criticize current methods of biofuel production, citing the negative effects on the environment, and on food security and prices.
Can biofuel production be sustainable, and if so, how can this sustainability be assessed?
Participants at a conference convened by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) discussed the outcomes of a new research study, "Global Assessments and Guidelines for Sustainable Liquid Biofuel Production in Developing Countries". Around 50 participants from 30 countries, representing governments, research institutions and international organizations, met in Vienna, Austria, recently to share expertise and make policy recommendations.
"UNIDO sees biofuels sustainability as an issue which needs to be better understood," explained Pradeep Monga, Director of UNIDO's Energy and Climate Change Branch, at the opening of the conference. "Projects and programmes need to be better prepared to mitigate negative environmental impacts."
Monga stressed that, for UNIDO, renewable energy and climate change mitigation are important activities, with the Organization focusing on projects that bring added value to communities in terms of industrial growth and the development of skills and jobs. "In this sense, bioenergy has been an integral part of our project portfolio, as still more than 10% of the world's energy consumption is from bioenergy. We need to ensure that biological resources, forests and agricultural land, are used sustainably in the long-term," Monga added.
At the UNIDO conference, participants evaluated the Biofuels Screening Toolkit, a major outcome of the research study carried out by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and UNIDO. The research aimed to establish clear guidelines to help developing countries mitigate the negative environmental and/or socio-economic impacts of future biofuel projects, with the overarching aim of developing a tool to assist the GEF with its project funding decisions.
The Toolkit highlights 11 sustainability indicators that can be used to rate projects without significant risks; those that exhibit potential risks; and those with high risks that cannot be mitigated. In relation to environmental sustainability, the Toolkit examines greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biodiversity protection, and land and resource-use efficiency, as well as soil and water impacts. Each screening tool lists a set of factors to consider and provides advice on how to rate them.
To assess the Toolkit, experts, including representatives of the European Commission and from Rembio, a non-governmental organization working for sustainable development in Mexico, were invited to review it in comparison to other available tools. Some expressed concerns about how specific regional data would be collected, stating that high-resolution data would be needed to calculate answers to the Toolkit's questions. Representatives of the GEF sought to dispel these doubts, saying that the organization would "go the extra mile" to carry out activities that would gather country-specific data.
Participants also sought to address the question of how the research and Toolkit could be used for policy and project formulation at a national level. An introduction to different perspectives concerning biofuel strategies and policy options by representatives of five countries underlined the diversity of problems and conditions. As a consequence, many of the experts asked about ways to adapt the Toolkit to each region. During the discussion, Floor van der Hilst from Utrecht University resented three case studies on the impacts of biofuel scale-up in Argentina, Mozambique and Ukraine.
Though minor issues were raised which still need clarification, the overall reception of the Toolkit was very positive. As Diego Masera, Chief of UNIDO's Renewable Energy Unit concluded, "We are pleased that the conference has been received well by the GEF and government participants who are keen to see biofuels projects get underway in their territories. The Biofuels Screening Toolkit gives us a practical aid in selecting projects, making sure no adverse impacts are caused. This will allow UNIDO to implement biofuel projects that can bring real benefits to local communities, such as employment, self-sufficiency in energy generation and the reduction of poverty."
The meeting made it possible to share views on the challenges and possibilities that biofuels face today. Some possible future research synergies arose, for example, between the FAO and Utrecht University. The Toolkit's positive reception has encouraged UNIDO to test it with a project by the end of 2013. Locations for the projects could be the Ukraine, Thailand or a country in West Africa.
The GEF also welcomed the Toolkit, pointing out its comprehensiveness compared to other tools available. It intends to share the output of the research project with other implementing agencies of the GEF and with the GEF's Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel, in order to promote the use of the screening tool in GEF projects.
Furthermore the GEF asked UNIDO to publish and disseminate the Toolkit. At the end of the conference, many attendees thanked UNIDO for organizing the event and enabling the networking and exchange of ideas. As Pradeep Monga said at the closing session, "Coming together is a beginning. Staying together is progress. Working together is success!"

Ok, first off I don't have any clue how hard this kind of stuff is to implement but damn boiiii if it's possible at some point.
What i'm talking about is how some programs look at a filename, and basically try to figure out what video or song, etc that file is. So say I have Iron Man X264 1080p.mp4 or whatever, have the program do some voodoo and find the movie poster and title for that file, best guess of course.
I guess what i'm thinking of is Boxee if you guys know that app, you give it a directory and tell if it it's videos or music, then it tries to sort your files out within some kind of database file in Boxee i'm assuming as it doesn't actually go through and tag your files, it leaves them all alone, but within Boxee, It'll take that Iron man file, search using imdb or amazon i'm assuming and throw it into a movies section when it finds the Iron Man movie data, with the poster art of course. If it finds say Heroes S03E05.mp4 or whatever, It'll throw that bad boy in a Heroes Folder > Season 3 > Episode 5 (it'll have the real title of the episode) and this is all in the TV folder.
Now the more I'm typing trying to explain this it's sounding like it is insanely hard to implement so maybe like a 3.0 down the road, just figured I'd throw it out there if it's not impossible. Now i'd be more than happy to drop $30-40 on the app like as a purchase if it had this feature on top of what it already has. For me, you've covered just about everything thus far and organizational caveats are all that's left.
Love it though, thanks for all the hard work.
