There are few things more pleasant than a languid day in Northern California's beautiful wine country -- and when the wineries in question boast rolling lawns, picnic tables and bocce courts, it's almost impossible not to linger.
You may have intended to visit three or four wineries. But if that first one is as entrancing as, say, Gilroy's Satori Cellars, you may decide those rainbow-hued Adirondack chairs are exactly where you want to stay -- preferably with a glass of 2012 Chardonnay of the Pink Ray and a picnic basket packed with temptations.
So we turned to Liane Ingham, the British-born chef and caterer behind Richmond's The Artisan Kitchen and Cafe, for gourmet inspiration. The kitchen side of Artisan is a cooperative, commercial space shared by caterers, food truck chefs and other culinary pros; the small cafe out front offers organic, seasonal fare for breakfast and lunch, including killer sandwiches and colorful, flavorful salads to go.
To-go -- or rather, to-go-to-a-winery -- was exactly what we had in mind.
What you need in that basket, Ingham says, are recipes that are "very easy and quick but very tasty and great for a picnic." A menu, in other words, that includes herb-roasted turkey and Brie sandwiches, smoky bacon-apple slaw and a polka-dot blueberry-cherry pie to enjoy among the vines.
"It's something I would make if I were taking a picnic to the wine country," Ingham says. "This is not your ordinary roast turkey sandwich. Served on a brioche with layers of turkey, peppers and, to top it off, silky Brie cheese."
With its citrusy, mustard-centric dressing, Ingham's coleslaw gets a twist from its add-ins too. "Smoky bacon and the crunch of a sweet, tart apple add a great touch to this popular dish we serve here at the cafe," Ingham says. "This can be pre-made, even the day before, and it packs up very well."
And for dessert, a polka-dot pie that brims with lush, ripe cherries and blueberries. If you don't want to tote an entire pie -- or you're worried that given a whole pie, you will eat the whole thing -- use the same recipe to make smaller tarts. Tuck a tartlet in your basket, and you can spend those extra pie calories on wine.

3.6-2 Distinction between Statutory
and Common-Law Negligence
Revised to January 1, 2008
There are, for purposes of this case,
two kinds of negligence: statutory negligence and common-law negligence.
Statutory negligence is the failure to conform one's conduct to a duty imposed
by the legislature through the enactment of a statute. Common-law negligence is
a violation of the duty to use reasonable care under the circumstances. A
violation of either of these duties is negligence.
Guglielmo v. Klausner Supply Co.,
158 Conn. 308, 318 (1969).

The season is over and I need a off-season workout for the entire week but i can't think of anything can anybody help me
O and i am a point guard
DRIBBLING! do at least a half hour of dribbling in ur workout. using 2 or 3 balls and practice between the legs, behind the back, every move possible. that is wut u should focus on most. Obviously u should still work on shooting a lot but dribbling should be ur #1 skill to work on
Try checking out this website: www.threepointacademy.com the guys there are really great, and they've helped me out so much throughout my career. The creator of the website is an former D1 player. I am there as well. There are a number of great workouts that you could try. Thanks!

For Skills Training:
Hey man, first thing you have to do is commit. I am a point guard and am in the process of being recruited. Ball handling first- one ball, little dribbles. figure 8, behind the back. Use tennis balls if you have them and definately use two ball dribbling. Keep your head up and feel your finger tips with the ball. Shooting: one hand form shooting then off the dribble and finally 3s. Condition by running sprints. Lets Get it! Few more months till B ball season!
good luck

PARKERSBURG - A Wood County businessman was recognized by a statewide business publication, but he credits the work and support of his staff for any honors received.
Ryan Taylor, president of Pickering Associates, was named by West Virginia Executive magazine as one of its "Young Guns of 2013" in the edition released in November.
"Each year we receive more than 200 nominations from across the state, and we narrow that group down to 10 young professionals," said Kensie Hamilton, editor in chief of West Virginia Executive, which publishes quarterly in West Virginia. "Our Young Guns are selected based on their success in their careers and their community service. We are proud to be able to showcase these impressive individuals each year, and we applaud the work they do for the State of West Virginia."
Article Photos
Photo by Wayne Towner
Ryan Taylor, president of Pickering Associates in Parkersburg, is shown with a copy of the magazine and the award he received in November when he was named one of 10 "Young Guns of 2013" by West Virginia Executive magazine.
Taylor is a Wood County native and Parkersburg High School graduate who attended West Virginia University, where he received a master's degree before going to work in 1997 for Pickering Associates.
He began as a construction manager and then moved up through positions in project management, project representation, company representation and others. After several years as vice president of operations, he became president earlier this year.
Taylor said one of the projects he is most proud of was his involvement in the design and construction of the Armstrong World Industries plant, which opened this year at Millwood in Jackson County. Taylor said he was involved in the two-year, $48 million project from the site selection and original design phase up through completion of construction through his work with Pickering Associates.
"It's not very often in your career that you get to build a new manufacturing plant from a cornfield," he said.
Pickering employs 43 people and will celebrate its 25th year in 2014. The company does architectural and engineering projects in the Mid-Ohio Valley and throughout the region. That includes designing buildings, land planning, infrastructure improvements (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), structural evaluations and improvements and other projects, including master planning and conceptual designs.
"We are a one-stop shop for the design industry," he said.
Taylor said he was surprised when one of his employees nominated him for the Young Guns program and feels proud to be named to the honor for his first time, especially since he is approaching the upper age criteria of 43, having turned 40 on Dec. 5.
He joined the other members of the Young Guns group on Nov. 15 at the Governor's Mansion in Charleston for the magazine's unveiling. Each person was recognized and had the opportunity to speak during the event.
Also in November, Taylor was recognized by the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley as one of two Young Business Leaders of the Year for 2012.
Taylor is hopeful the magazine's recognition will open more doors for Pickering Associates in the future.
"It's a big recognition for my career, but most importantly I want it to be a good recognition for my employees. The bottom line is the things I accomplish are a direct result of the staff that is under me or beside me or above me. They're the ones that make these things possible, because of their hard work," he said.
Looking to the future, Taylor said the company is considering ways it can improve and what other opportunities are available in the area for new projects and services it might be able to offer, such as expanding its architectural services.
"We have a great backlog of architectural projects, but we feel that we can expand and gather more of that business with more design professionals on staff," he said.

The Masters is just a couple of days away...but some local restaurants are already seeing a boost in business.
Some restaurants say they are surprised that business is already picking up as much as it has because it's only Friday...so you can imagine what it's going to be like when the crowds really arrive.
"That's the thing about Masters week," says Adam Wise of Somewhere in Augusta bar and grill. "You're never ready for it. You know what I mean."
Ready or not, here it comes...
The countdown to Masters Week is on.
"We stay packed every day, all day, every night, all night," Wise says.
As head bartender at Somewhere in Augusta, Wise knows he and his staff will be working like crazy.
And being located right across from the Augusta National doesn't allow for much of a break.
"A lot of times after the golf is over, they'll come in, start having drinks, pretty much stay the whole night with us bouncing between here and Last Call," Wise says.
But rookie businesses like Raising Canes on Washington Road aren't not sure what to expect.
We've heard different things, we've heard 'Yeah you're going to be slammed, get ready, jammed packed all the time', we've also heard 'Your hours will shift a little, your lunch might not be as busy, but you might be busy early'," says Adam Nau, manager of Raising Cane's.
So they're really stocking up, to be safe rather than sorry.
"We kind of double everything, double staff, we double everything, inventory wise, everything," says Atlantis Williams, another Raising Cane's manager.
The McKnight family has rented out their home for Masters. Friday, they enjoyed their last meal in town before leaving for the beach.
"There's several restaurants in town, sometimes you get to see golfers, and it's fun to be here, so we'll miss that part, but it will be nice to be relaxed too," says Carol McKnight.
There's no relaxing for Adam Wise, but he's still excited...or at least somewhat.
"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, you enjoy it," he says, "and by Thursday, I'm ready for it to be over."
And here's something you may not have known: the Convention and Visitors Bureau says the average person coming in town during Masters Week will spend $266 per day...so, lots of money for these businesses.

These awards, now in their 13th year, are considered one of the most prestigious and authoritative culinary awards in the Irish calendar.
Recognising the best Irish restaurants and culinary talent, diners from all over Ireland were invited to nominate their favourite restaurants and chefs, with the top entries going forward for deliberation by a national culinary panel of judges, made up of industry experts and national food critics. After much deliberation on each category, each judge votes in secret for their top 10 in each category, including the top 10 restaurants and chefs from all four provinces, with Dublin treated separately.
The national awards for Overall Best Chef and and Overall Best Restaurant are put through a further judging process, whereby the entire judging panel and all previous panel members vote electronically and in private to ensure a measured choice for these important awards. All of the regional and national winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 25 August. In addition to Best Chef and Best Restaurant, awards will also be presented for Best Sommelier, Best Service, Best World Cuisine and Best Wine Experience.
"In recent years, Ireland's food sector has faced difficult business conditions, however, many chefs and restaurateurs have responded with better value and creativity. The 2013 shortlist sees some excellent new talents emerging, but also shows that old favourites continue to maintain standards while adapting with the times and offering exceptional quality and value for money," commented Miriam Atkins, editor of FOOD&WINE Magazine.
Gregory Alken, representing the title sponsor, Maison Louis Latour, reiterated that point adding, "Working in collaboration with the hospitality industry and partnering restaurants and food emporia around the 32 counties of Ireland, we admire how this sector has embraced the challenges by making so many changes, improving standards and yet offering even better value while promoting fresh Irish food at its best".

STOCKTON - An 18-year-old man was shot in the stomach about 5:20 p.m. Thursday near Palisades Drive and East Hammer Lane, authorities said.
The man told police he was walking in the area when a man in the back seat of a white Buick Regal asked him where he was from and whether he was affiliated with a gang. The car drove off but returned a short time later, police said. The victim was walking away when he heard gunshots and realized he had been struck, authorities said.
The car fled the area after the victim jumped a nearby fence, police said. A passing motorist then took the victim to a hospital, where he was treated for a nonlife-threatening injury, authorities said.
The gunman was described as a black man 21 to 25 years old with dreadlocks, a neatly trimmed mustache, a black hooded sweatshirt and a blue bandanna around his neck, police said.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Hagler Systems is transitioning out of South Carolina back to Augusta and is bringing jobs with them.
"We don't take jobs for granted these days," said Bob Hagler, president of Hagler Systems.
Which is why Hagler Systems' move to back to Augusta is such great news.
They moved from Augusta to North Augusta in 2002, but now they're on to bigger and better things.
And Augusta fits the company's needs perfectly.
"The cost to manufacture and the cost to do business in Augusta, Ga., is amazing," he said. "This is how I can compete, a small group -- 117 people -- can compete with billion-dollar companies worldwide."
So now they're expanding.
"Phase I will be a 40,000 foot expansion of that facility," Hagler said.
That will bring the now 62,000 square foot facility to around 100,000 square feet. And that's not all.
"We will be building a 25,000 square foot office and a 6,000 foot warehouse," Hagler said.
Space that's much needed for the rapidly-expanding company.
"In the last four months, we've hired 25 people, and in 2013, we've already hired 11," Hagler said.
And they could be filling as many as 40 more positions this year.
"All the way across the board [from] professional, engineering, management, all the way to welding and manufacturing [jobs]," said Hagler. "I expect within two years, we'll totally transition into Augusta, Ga."
And although some might still be feeling the squeeze from the recession, the mayor feels confident about Augusta's future.
"I feel good about the local economy," said Mayor Deke Copenhaver. "We do wanna see that unemployment rate go down and I believe that that will definitely happen over time."

The Aerospace Industries Association strongly urges Congress to pass a FAA reauthorization extension to avoid serious disruptions to the agency.
"Congress needs to act quickly to extend FAA's operations," said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. "If the House and Senate cannot work out their differences on a full reauthorization bill in the time remaining, another short-term extension should be passed."
The current FAA authorization—the 20th extension passed since September 2007—is set to expire Friday, July 22. Failure to extend authorization would have dire operational and economic consequences. Among the immediate impacts to FAA are:
"Summer is the busiest travel time of the year," Blakey said. "No one wants to see the FAA turned upside down, especially now."

Puffy Parmesan Cauliflower
I made one minor change to June's recipe in that I oven-roasted the cauliflower florets instead of boiling the head whole just because I'm such a fan of almost all roasted veggies. If you'd rather work with the whole head of cauliflower, click here for June's instructions. Either way you cook the cauliflower, it is the topping that will make your taste buds cry out for more.
Puffy Parmesan Cauliflower
1 medium head of cauliflower, trimmed and cut into medium sized florets
1 TBSP olive oil
salt and pepper and 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 TBSP chopped parsley plus more for garnish
1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
2 egg whites
Coarse salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Place cauliflower florets into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place florets in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast in oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring half way through so florets brown evenly. Place florets into a baking dish.
Combine the mayo, grated cheese, parsley and lemon juice. Beat egg whites in a small bowl until they are stiff. Fold into mayo mixture. Spread over cauliflower. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
Broil 6 inches from the heat until sauce is puffed and golden brown, and cauliflower is warmed through. Watch carefully and rotate as necessary to keep it evenly browned.

The tracklisting looks awesome, been wanting to have a lot of those demos (which reside on my hard disk) on a physical copy. And more Reanimator!
With the rarities and all, I do miss these two gems:
Hell Of A Year (Live in Arizona)
Threewrite (Reanimator remix with Slow Down Gandhi beat)
I really want those on a cd. Threewrite over the Slow Down Gandhi beat is epic, and extinct on the net. It deserves a wider audience, it just adds to the track. And that live version of Hell of a Year is haunting.
But here's to new music!

Quick question though: My download purchase has a limit on the amount of times I can use the link (3, I think). I used it once to get the other stuff I bought, so I'm already down to only 2 uses.

Michael Jackson's bankrupt former dermatologist Dr. Arnie Klein -- who supposedly gave the singer truckloads of drugs -- has now been named in another sprawling drug controversy, this time involving potentially dangerous Botox imported from foreign countries.
Imported Botox? How chic-sounding ...
According to TMZ, the FDA has issued a notification to more than 350 medical practices across the U.S., telling them they may have received unapproved meds, including Botox, from a foreign supplier. Klein happens to be one of the doctors on the list.
The suppliers in question are owned and operated by a company called Canada Drugs, though it's unclear where the drugs are manufactured.
Uh ... Canada?
According to the FDA, "These medications may be counterfeit, contaminated, improperly stored and transported, ineffective, and/or unsafe."
The notice continues, "Medical practices that purchase and administer illegal and unapproved medications from foreign sources are placing patients at risk."

Kevin Yager begins the 513th Brookhaven Lecture with a brief introduction to the nanoscale—the tiny world within our own where elements are so small they are measured in billionths of a meter. Yager then discusses the light-based techniques and laser tools he has developed to arrange molecules into ordered patterns and specific shapes to fabricate more perfect, complex nanostructures.
During the 507th Brookhaven Lecture, Dong Su explains how he and his colleagues are using advanced tools at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven Lab to study materials and determine how different atomic-level structures can improve performance for rechargeable batteries.
Scientists from all over the world visit the Center for Functional Nanomaterials to explore strange phenomena hidden on the nanoscale—an exciting and powerful landscape spanning just billionths of a meter. The U.S. Department of Energy opened the CFN, one of its five nanoscale science research centers in the United States, to develop unprecedented energy technologies and solve fundamental scientific puzzles.
Kevin Yager, a scientist at Brookhaven Lab's Center for Functional Nanomaterials, discusses his research on materials spanning just billionths of a meter. Yager specializes in making new materials through meticulously guided self-assembly and probing nanoscale structures with a technique called x-ray scattering.
In the 474th Brookhaven Lecture Oleg Gang discusses how Brookhaven scientists have devised a way of using strands of synthetic DNA attached to the surface of nanoparticles to instruct them to self-assemble into nanoscale structures, clusters, and three-dimensional organizations.
A novel multimodal optical nanoprobe is incorporated into a transmission electron microscope (TEM) sample holder. The nanoprobe allows scientists to perform all the usual experiments done in a TEM in addition to those involving optical excitation and measurement of the sample, electrical measurements on the sample, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and combinations of these measurements. Of particular utility is the ability to simultaneously measure optical and electrical properties of the sample at the nanoscale.
Building on the idea of using DNA to link up nanoparticles scientists at Brookhaven National Lab have designed a molecular assembly line for high-precision nano-construction. Nanofabrication is essential for exploiting the unique properties of nanoparticles in applications such as biological sensors and devices for converting sunlight to electricity.
Staff from Brookhaven's new Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) describe how this advanced facility will focus on the development and understanding of nanoscale materials. The CFN provides state-of-the-art capabilities for the fabrication and study of nanoscale materials, with an emphasis on atomic-level tailoring to achieve desired properties and functions. The overarching scientific theme of the CFN is the development and understanding of nanoscale materials that address the Nation's challenges in energy security.
The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory explores the unique properties of materials and processes at the nanoscale. The CFN is a user-oriented research center, with the double mission of being an open facility for the nanoscience research community and advancing the science of nanomaterials that address the nation's energy challenges.
One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization.

Vail official report: 1" new snow
Vail Daily field report: There's untracked places with more than a foot yet to be found
Weather: Variable, getting cloudier as the day moves on. Very windy at times, especially along the ridges.
Liftline status: Crowded, especially at Mid Vail and Chair 2, presumably due to blue sky's closing. No line at Chair 5.
Run of the day: Forever was groomed, which is very rare. Take advantage of the opportunity to ski it if you can.
Breakdown: It's busy on the final Saturday, and the fresh snow from the last few days that has yet to be tracked is getting skied. But there's still plenty to find. The groomers are running nicely, as well, but Blue Sky was closed due to difficult conditions back there so the mazes on the front side groomer chairs (2 and 4 especially) are quickly filling up.
Snowcast: The clouds overhead look angry, it seems more is indeed on the way as forecasters predicted.
There\'s untracked places with more than a foot yet to be found

Many survivors of Saturday's plane crash in San Francisco have a surprising pattern of spine injuries that a doctor says shows how violently they were shaken despite wearing seat belts.
So far, two people are unable to move their legs -- doctors don't yet know if the damage is permanent -- and several others have needed surgery to stabilize their spines so they can move, said Dr. Geoffrey Manley, neurosurgery chief at San Francisco General Hospital who is overseeing their care.
Among the worst injuries are crushed vertebrae that compress the spinal cord, and ligaments so stretched and torn that they can't hold neck and back joints in place, Manley said in an interview Monday.
That 305 of the 307 passengers and crew of the Asiana jet survived the crash is remarkable, and a testimony to improvements in airline safety in recent years. More than 180 people went to hospitals with injuries, but only a small number were critically injured.
Still, Manley said even among those who suffered mild spine trauma, he is struck by a pattern that shows how their upper bodies were flung forward and then backward over the lap belts that kept them in their seats and undoubtedly saved their lives.
The injuries are somewhat reminiscent of the days before shoulder belts in cars, although much more severe, said Dr. David Okonkwo of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, who isn't involved with the survivors' care.
Does that mean shoulder belts in airplanes would prevent such injuries? Okonkwo said that's simplistic considering how much more speed and force are involved in a plane crash. Shoulder belts might just transfer that force to the neck, he cautioned.
"If you put in the shoulder belt, it might just move the injuries up further. Your head weighs a tremendous amount," agreed San Francisco's Manley. He hopes to study the issue, comparing survivors' injuries to where they sat.
The airline industry says adding three-point seatbelts to airplanes would require major changes to seat design that would mean higher airfares and less comfort.
Some business class seats have added a type of shoulder restraint, but those seats are more like beds and often don't face forward.
Meanwhile, Okonkwo said assuming the "crash position" -- leaning forward with the head as far down as possible and arms over it -- can limit the spine jolting back and forth and offer some protection. It's not clear if any survivors of Saturday's crash had time to do so.
AP Airlines Writer Scott Mayerowitz contributed to this report.

The Hendersonville Elementary third-grader was demonstrating the mathematical concept of measurement Monday at the school. Although each weighted string was a different length, when released, they came to a stop at the same time, Luc explained.
"The important thing is the string, not the weights," he said, adding that he built the project himself with a little help from his father.
The young man was one of 35 students to participate in the school's Math Fair. Students from the third, fourth and fifth grades presented math projects to a panel of judges Monday in the media center.
Students could choose their own topic as long as their project was original and did a good job of demonstrating the mathematical principle it was designed to illustrate, said Stacia Kelley, a third-grade teacher at the school.
The students studied various ideas and principles of mathematics over the past several weeks, she said, including measurement (units as well as time), fractions, multiplication, division, coding and ciphers.
"Some of the topics they came up with on their own have been very interesting," Kelley said with a laugh.
Judges graded the projects on several criteria including creativity, organization, demonstration of mathematical concept, investigative depth, written documentation and appearance.
This year's Math Fair winners were: Luc's "What's Swinging," "Topology" by Erin Price and Elizabeth Yefremov (first place); "Why You Should Visit a Waterfall" by Anne Jones, "Pascal's Triangle, Tetrahedron and Pyramid" by Kathryn Thomas (second place); "20 Horses vs. 20 Horse Power" by Noelle Swift and Eleanor Knox; and "How Much It Costs to Keep a Turtle" by Rachel Stephenson and Britton Swing (third place).
Honorable mentions went to "Who Can Stay on Top" by Lucas Jones and Alex Lemmens; "Top Toppings" by Sam Fertik and Gabe Williams; and "Which Is Faster?" by Ian Adams.

The EAI Dispatch Service
By Andreea Vaduva on Mar 29, 2013
The EAI Dispatch Service is an EAI business service that invokes other business services or workflows based on the contents of an input property set. It is driven by a set of customer-configurable rule and is used in both inbound and outbound integration workflows to route messages based on their content.
Example: route incoming message from multiple suppliers to the corresponding workflow
Benefits of the EAI Dispatch Service
The dispatch service uses conditional processing to implement Business Policy. Conditional processing is more general than workflow and is based on the entire message rather than just the value of business component fields. This means we can reduce the number of workflows that need to be developed to handle a set of incoming messages and allowing for reuse of business logic in workflows. The dispatch service (like workflow) expresses business logic declaratively and is therefore easier to maintain than custom scripts.
EAI Dispatch Service Methods
The Dispatch Service has the following methods:
- Examines the incoming message
- Dispatches the message according to the rules
- Is used in production systems
- Evaluates the incoming message
- Does not dispatch the message
- Is used for testing
Process Aggregate Request
- Allows multiple invocations of methods in business services in a single request
- Formats the output into a single message
Rules are used by the EAI Dispatch Service to process messages. They are created and administrated in the Siebel client.
They consist of:
- One or more conditions used to evaluate an incoming property set
- A target business service to execute when a condition is satisfied
- Zero, one, or more transforms to apply to the property set
They are expressed using a search expression notation based on traversing a hierarchical structure.
The search expression uses an XPATH-like notation to examine contents of the property set which includes several symbols to specify navigation to a desired component in the property set hierarchy:
- / : refers to a level in the hierarchy
- @ : refers to an attribute
A rule set is a set of rules that are evaluated in a specified sequence. The first rule that satisfies is applied and the rule evaluation stops.
The rule examines an input property set. It specifies an expression that evaluates an incoming property set and a business service and method to execute if the expression is satisfied.
A transform is an optional expression used to pass the existing hierarchy as it is or modify it.
Using a Dispatch Rule Set
Outbound Processing
Send an order to a vendor using a transport specific to the vendor. Include the Dispatch service in a general workflow that processes outgoing vendor messages.
Inbound Processing
Create the vendor-type specific workflows and a rule set that:
- Searches the incoming messages for vendor type
- Dispatches the message to the corresponding workflow
Create a profile for processing received vendor messages.

SAN ANTONIO (October 25, 2012)--Former President Bill Clinton makes two Texas stops Thursday to give Democrats in tight U.S. House races a boost.
Clinton will hold a rally Thursday in San Antonio for Democratic congressional hopeful Pete Gallego, who is locked in one of the closest congressional races in the country.
Gallego, a longtime state lawmaker, is trying to take the sprawling 23rd Congressional District from Republican U.S. Rep. Francisco Canseco, who narrowly won the seat in 2010.
Later Thursday, Clinton heads to Beaumont for former U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson who is vying with Republican state Rep. Randy Weber for the seat of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who is retiring.
Clinton also visited Texas swing districts in 2010, but his efforts were largely unsuccessful in stopping Republican victories.

Cluster minors are available only for those majors which have received approval from the Committee on Undergraduate Programs and are so indicated in the department's section of the bulletin. Students opting for cluster minors must have the cluster approved in writing on the appropriate form, and forwarded to the Degree Audits Office during their junior year of study. Forms are available from the major department, and must receive approval from all departments who offer courses included in the cluster.
Gender and Sexuality Studies Minor
Explores the meaning and significance of gender in human experience from an interdisciplinary perspective. It combines the perspectives of women's studies, feminist studies, lesbian and gay studies, queer studies, and men's studies to give a broad perspective on domains such as gender roles, sexuality and social status. The interdisciplinary focus of this minor provides students with an appreciation of the diversity of approaches to studying gender, and the opportunity to integrate these approaches for a deeper understanding of the role of gender in society. Competency in both gender issues and the complex dominance and subordination effects of gender roles will help prepare students for both graduate training and employment. A list of courses used in this minor must be developed in consultation with the Director of the Gender & Sexuality Studies program. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an appointment. When approved, a copy of the list will be filed in the Registrar's Office. Students may not take more than eight credits from any one department.

Individually Created Programs at NMU
Individually Created Program (ICP) Baccalaureate Degree
This program is designed for students with clearly defined educational goals that do not correspond with existing programs at Northern Michigan University. It leads to a B.A. or B.S. degree with the term "Individually Created Program" appearing in place of the major on the transcript. Students in consultation with their advisers develop a program of individualized concentration which is then submitted to the ICP Committee. Students can select their own advisers or obtain advice in the Degree Audits Office about which advisers might be most suitable. Once the program is drawn up and approved by the ICP Committee, an approved outline is filed with the registrar as an official contract. Any changes in the contract are submtted to the ICP Committtee and filed. The committee may withdraw approval on the recommendation of the adviser in cases where the student's academic capacities clearly fall short of the stated goals.
The following guidelines apply to the degree:
- Students must obtain a "C" (2.00) or better in all courses in the concentration.
- Students must complete 40 credits after the program is approved.
- The program must include 40 credits at the upper division (300-400) level.
- Liberal Studies: Students must complete a minimum of 40 credits for all degrees. (Students cannot "double count" courses in the liberal studies and the concentration.)
- The program may not include courses that would comprise more than 80% of any approved departmental major.
- Students interested in an individually created program within the College of Business will coordinate with a College of Business adviser. If it is determined that more than 25% of the individually created program is appropriate in business, the adviser will make certain that the courses chosen meet the common body of knowledge requirements of The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business.
- Students with a concentration outside of the College of Business may not take more than 25 percent of their program from courses taught by the College of Business.
- Admission into an ICP begins the semester following approval of the ICP committee.

LETTER:Legislature shouldn't offer prayers
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 8:39 p.m.
Dear Editor: The recent editorial, "Nothing wrong with asking for help from above," is offensive to the non-religious citizens of Alabama. Government representatives are elected to represent their constituents — including the Christian, the non-Christian religious and the non-religious.
The Alabama Legislature is a secular governing body and, as such, has no business incorporating religion into its meetings. Lack of belief in God is not a religion, despite the absurd claims of the editorial staff. The legislators are free to pray on their own time, at their own expense. There is absolutely no need for public prayer, except to blatantly reinforce the sentiment that the Legislature shamelessly values Christians' beliefs and desires above those of the rest of the state's citizens. Including prayer at government meetings is an intentionally divisive move and should be avoided.
But the editorial referenced herein goes beyond simply explaining an opinion in favor of government sponsored prayer and specifically denigrates non-Christians and separates them from the rest of Alabama's citizens. The tone of the editorial is mocking, and the sentence, "We suppose a leading atheist could be invited to not pray at the beginning of the day if such an appeasement were requested," is incredibly condescending and inappropriate. We non-Christian Southerners naturally have thick skin, but that is no excuse for such brazen relegation to second class status of those who do not share the editorial staff's Christian beliefs.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks managed to keep a little suspense in the Pacific Division title race Tuesday night, but they needed a little soccer-style magic to come from behind against one of the NHL's bottom-feeders to do it.
San Jose ended a two-game losing streak, beating the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 on two goals midway through the third period by Brent Burns and Patrick Marleau after coughing up a two-goal lead earlier in the game.
The win closed the gap behind the Anaheim Ducks to one point, but the Sharks have now played two more games.
"You're happy with the two, but we've got to tighten up a lot before the postseason," said Sharks captain Joe Thornton, who had two assists. "We have five games to do that. We'll take the points, but we've got to play a lot better than that."
San Jose's other goals came off the sticks of Andrew Desjardins, Dan Boyle and Tommy Wingels, while Edmonton got a pair from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and singles from Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle.
The Sharks were trailing 4-3 when their comeback began on a play that saw Joe Pavelski kick the puck to Thornton, who then found Burns for a one-time from just outside the crease at 10:35 of the third.
"It was great," Thornton said of Pavelski's no-look pass off the skate. "I was just saying, we play soccer before the game, and a nice little play by Pav."
Less than two minutes later, the Sharks were just starting a power play that had been 0-for-5 when Burns only got a piece of his shot from the blue line, but the puck deflected to Marleau on the right side of the net, and he poked it into an all-but-open net.
"Yeah, coming down that back side looking for any scraps," he said of his urgency on the play.
The late goals avoided what could have been a disastrous loss to yet another team that will be on the golf course by mid-April. The Sharks had built a 3-1 lead early in the second period only to have the Oilers tie it on goals by Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle just 38 seconds apart.
"The intensity probably dropped a little bit," said Boyle, who scored a goal in his third consecutive contest after a 30-game drought. "We're up 3-1 against a team that's not in the playoffs. Sometimes you take your foot off the gas a little bit."
San Jose did stake itself to an early lead when the fourth line chipped in a goal by Desjardins at 3:11 of the first period as he potted the rebound of a shot by Tyler Kennedy. But the Oilers tied it up on a power-play goal by Hall a little more than eight minutes later.
Still, the Sharks seemed in control at 15:54 of the opening period when Thornton won a faceoff in the Edmonton zone, then found Boyle open for a shot that beat Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens high on the far corner.
The lead grew to 3-1 in the second period when, just as a power play ended, Wingels tucked the puck into the net at 2:45 after a shot from the point by Brad Stuart.
The Edmonton comeback followed and that all but overshadowed the win for Sharks coach Todd McLellan.
He had talked before the game about his team's lack of consistency -- "play real well for 15 minutes in a period and go to sleep for five" -- and agreed that was the case again Tuesday.
"It's a bittersweet win," McLellan said. "It was nice to see us come back and score five and the power play contributed. Those types of things are nice, but I'm going to leave the rink a little more frustrated than excited. I'm sure some of our players will leave that way, too."
He described his team as lethargic -- "not as much physically as mentally" -- and welcomed the week at home to try and get everything straightened out in the five final games of the regular season.

Dear God,Mea culpa: because one of the Garage portfolio companies, FilmLoop, wrote a Windows version of its product before a Macintosh version, I've had to use a Windows laptop for demos. It is one of those tiny Sony Vaios—I don't even know the model number because I didn't bond with it.This is the first time I used Windows for more than fifteen minutes at a time, and the experience has made me a better Macintosh evangelist. I simply cannot comprehend how people put up with Windows—but ragging on Windows isn't the topic of this blog.

Is Apple About to Enter the Smart Home Space?
What if when you walked into the house your iPhone automatically turned the lights on for you? Such "connected home" scenarios could be on tap at Apple's big developer conference next week.
The Financial Times on Monday reported that Apple is preparing to take on Google and Samsung as a competitor in one of the hottest segments in what Silicon Valley is calling the Internet of Things. Apple has been discussing "smart home" applications involving the iPhone with a group of device makers, the newspaper reported, and those devices could be marketed and sold through Apple Stores.
Apple is not commenting on the matter. But the FT reported that the company believes it has an advantage over Google when it comes to privacy concerns–a hot topic in discussions of the Internet of Things–and could be aided by a propensity of its customers to use iPhone and iPad to control smart thermostats, appliances, and security systems in their homes.
On the other hand, Apple also has the disadvantage that it prefers to manage a user's total experience, notes Roger Kay, an analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates, in a post for Forbes. Home automation favors collaboration and technology standards not controlled by a single company.
"The Internet of Things will be about standards and interoperation," Kay wrote.
The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, takes place June 2-6 in San Francisco. The company on Tuesday posted on its website that the keynote of the conference will be livestreamed at 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 2.
The company said it has not revealed that information this far in advance before. Apple has not revealed who will give the address.

How to Draw Fashionable Hats
Draw three different hats for women.
Draw the head and neck of a female fashion figure. Map out the crown of the hat close to the head. Embellish the hat by adding different brims, textures, or even feathers or flower shapes (not shown) to adorn the lady's hat.
Sketch a wide oval that extends around the back of the head for the brim of a sunhat.
A small oval slightly wider than the hat works for the brim of a hip hat.
Extend the crown of the hat down around the ears and near the eyes for a warm cap.

MIAMI -- The Giants and Dodgers don't like talking about the collision course they're on, but in this case you need to examine actions, not words.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly set up his second-half rotation so that All-Stars Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw will start in San Francisco during their three-game series July 25-27, along with No. 3 starter Hyun-Jin Ryu. Mattingly told reporters the rotation was put together to give his stars rest over the break, but he admitted that "then you're just looking at the schedule, trying to match up."
As the second half kicks off, the longtime rivals are looking at more than just the schedule. It's officially Scoreboard Watching Season in the National League West, and it actually started before the division's top two teams headed for the break. Several times in the past two weeks, Giants players tuned clubhouse televisions to the Dodgers, or quietly asked reporters if they had a score update.
Nearly 100 games into the season, both sides can be alternately upset and relieved by what the standings show.
The Giants led the division by 9½ games before a lengthy skid began June 9, that lead evaporating in just 20 days. But even after dropping 7 of 13 after losing their lead in the West, the Giants trail the preseason favorite Dodgers by just one game.
"We have to look at our overall record right now," catcher Buster Posey said as he headed for a short vacation.
At 52-43, the Giants remain one of the best teams in baseball, even if they have been the worst over the past month. They're not just a game behind the Dodgers; they're a game away from having the best record in the National League. That provides plenty of hope for a group that views June as an aberration.
"Nobody is walking around feeling sorry for themselves after what happened," left-hander Madison Bumgarner said. "We know what we have to do."
It's pretty simple, really. The rotation got in a groove as the break approached, and while the Giants seek additional bullpen help, they're comfortable with Santiago Casilla, Jeremy Affeldt, Javier Lopez and a seemingly refreshed Sergio Romo in the late innings.
A slumping lineup was most to blame for the June swoon. The Giants had a .717 team OPS and averaged 4.3 runs per game while going 42-21 through June 8. They are 10-22 since, averaging just three runs per game and posting a collective OPS of .630.
While the numbers are down across the board, the power outage is most glaring. The Giants hit 69 homers in the first 64 games but just 17 in the past 32. As much as manager Bruce Bochy doesn't want to rely on homers, his players -- who have taken to celebrating each dinger with a "Yes! Yes! Yes!" cheer -- seem to get an extra jolt every time a ball clears the wall. The Giants are 38-15 when they homer.
"We weren't going to keep up that (early) pace, and we all knew it," Bochy said. "But for it to just leave us there, that surprised us."
It also might have changed their approach. When the homers went away, coaches saw several players push harder to clear the wall, further deepening their hole.
"The homer does kind of change how you play the game," Bochy said. "We hit so many of them that you weren't thinking about hitting-and-running, scratching and clawing, because you had the long ball. Without the homers, we've got to get more consecutive hits, work the middle of the field more."
The focus on an improved approach is why Sunday's win was so pleasing for the Giants. They loaded the bases three times, clearing them twice. They kept the line moving until the big hit came. It reminded players of April and May.
"That's our game," Posey said. "Our game is being scrappy, and that's when we've had success. We scrap and get guys on and then guys get big hits. That's what we did in 2010 and 2012."
To win the division for the third time in five years, the Giants will have to scratch and claw their way through a rough post-break slate. They travel to the Eastern time zone four times over the next six weeks, playing 39 games on the road and just 28 at home in the second half. The Dodgers have a more even distribution, with 32 at home and 33 on the road.
The two teams left standing in the National League West will eye each other throughout that stretch, and they play at AT&T Park later this month and from Sept. 12-14, then at Dodger Stadium from Sept. 22-24.
Through highs and lows, injuries and slumps, the Giants and Dodgers haven't found a way to lose sight of each other through the season's first four months.
"It's what I thought it would be," Bochy said. "A tight race."

Sadistik & Kristoff Krane "PREY FOR PARALYSIS"
This album comes autographed for $9.99 as part of our pre-sale deal. Order yours at:
In April of 2011 Sadistik & Kristoff Krane began a three month tour that spanned nine countries. Quickly realizing their artistic chemistry, the two decided that they should create an album together. While en route to Amsterdam, Kristoff exposed Sadistik to the production work of live instrumentalist Graham O'Brien. He was immediately impressed by Graham's unique style and the two agreed that it was the perfect direction to take their project. After receiving Graham's stamp of approval, Sadistik and Kristoff Krane began the writing process while in a tour van in May of 2011. By the end of June they had written the entire album. They recorded the vocals over the course of three days at Sadistik's home in Seattle, WA. We now present to you...Prey For Paralysis.

Sadistik is actually a horror movie buff, so I'm guessing there are a few references and/or techniques he used in the filming of this to reflect that.
I told him that I think he should do a Good Will Hunting style movie with Kristoff. Something about the end of this video made me think of Casey and Ben Affleck.

The video production is great on this! Sadistik did a great job. The ending really makes you feel like something huge is about to take place but then you just get the grin before fading to black. I like it... Top notch all the way around.
I'm not sure if I can wait until 11/22/11 for this... Are we there yet?

Don Kretch on Solaris Studio at OTN LiveCast
By RickRamsey-Oracle on Jul 12, 2010
Afraid your application will prove too much for its server?
Watch Don Kretch, senior director of software development for Oracle Solaris Studio, tell Justin how Studio has the highest-performing C, C++, and Fortran compilers. Not to mention the coolest tools for making your application take advantage of the multi-core capabilities in Oracle Sun servers (SPARC and x86) - practically while you take a coffee break. He may even demo the latest release.
Have your questions ready....
June 13th at 10:00 am PT right here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/techcastlive/index.html
(In case you're not familiar with OTN TechCasts, they're live. If you miss the live broadcast, you can watch the replay a few weeks later. Kinda like Netflix.)
