How to use
to build a auto stretching table in ADF
By Tang Hao on Oct 08, 2013
<af:table> tag offered "width"attribute to let user adjust the width of table, but this normally is not a good option to let the table.
ADF has a default styleClass called "AFStretchWidth" which could auto adjust the table width to let it occupy the whole space.
demo code:
<af:table ....... styleClass="AFStretchWidth" ....... > <af:column id="c1"> .......... </af:column> </af:table>
the table will look like
note that only the table width is stretched but the columns are not. To auto stretch the column,
attribute "columnStretching" must be applied:
demo code:
<af:table ...... styleClass="AFStretchWidth" columnStretching="last" > <af:column id="c1"> ...... </af:column> </af:table>
the table will look like
you can use "last" to stretch the last column, or use "first" to stretch the first column, or use "column:column-id" to specify the column you want to stretch.

I grew up in the Twin Cities, graduated from Champlin Park High School and as long as I can remember I wanted to be on the radio. After graduating high school I immediately went to work in Grand Forks, ND at KZLT for a few years before moving back to Minneapolis to work with Dave Ryan at KDWB. After KDWB I did nights at WXPT in Minneapolis for just over 5 years before I decided it was time for a change, so I moved up north and the rest is history! I live in Superior with my wife Mindy, daughter Rose and dog Rawko. In my free time I enjoy playing with Rose, doing home improvement projects and watching movies. I don't like winter very much, I hate being cold, but summertime in the Northland makes it worth it...right? See ya around town and THANKS for listening!

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare condition that occurs when there is compression of vessels and nerves in the area of the clavicle. This can happen when there is an extra cervical rib or because of a tight fibrous band that connects the spinal vertebra to the rib. There may be pain in the neck and shoulders, and numbess in the last 3 fingers and inner forearm. Thoracic outlet syndrome is usually treated with physical therapy which helps strengthen and straighten out the shoulders.

You may have read the quirky story this week about the Menlo Park cop who was reinstated in his job after being caught with a prostitute in a Sunnyvale motel.
First broken by the Almanac in Menlo Park, the story bustled with intriguing detail. The prostitute was wearing a catsuit, with $20 bills stuffed into her cleavage. The cop was naked on his knees in the bathroom.
The DA's office couldn't make the case against the prostitute because the Sunnyvale investigator's wife was sick at a critical moment. That meant the case against the cop collapsed, too.
The rest sounded like a script for the TV show "Arrested Development.'' The cop, Officer Jeffrey Vasquez, 48, kept his job after an arbitrator ruled against the city.
The 2011 incident surfaced because an Almanac reporter overheard a conversation between the city manager and his predecessor at the Menlo Hub, a Menlo Park restaurant. The city manager reportedly said it would take a million-dollar check to get rid of Vasquez.
For the sake of readers who have not pondered all the implications of this delicious story, here's a Q and A:
Naked we get. But why on his knees in the bathroom? The Sunnyvale cops say Vasquez was not trying to flush away drugs. That leaves open something kinky, or a failed attempt at hiding. Vasquez did not tell the investigators immediately that he was a cop. Then again, his badge might not have been handy.
Does his IQ surpass 75? As a 24-year veteran of the Menlo Park force, Vasquez almost certainly breaks the Mendoza Line of brains. It's fairer to say he checked them at the door when he spent city time with the cat lady. "I had an hour to kill,'' he said.
If you had to grade the prosecution in this case, would it be a D or an F? We understand: Prosecuting crimes is a volume business. And dismissing a misdemeanor count of soliciting prostitution is like a store owner shrugging at kids stealing gum balls.
But the whole litany of excuses -- the investigator couldn't show because his wife was sick, and the case could not be postponed -- smacks of the dog-ate-my-homework-which-was stupid-anyway. Because a cop was involved, it does not cast glory on the office of DA Jeff Rosen.
Why a million-buck check? Don't they take credit cards? This is, forgive us, the million-dollar question. We know Menlo Park attempted to discipline the cop. But state law meant to protect the rights of employees prevents us from knowing what that discipline was. And nobody is talking.
Meanwhile, binding arbitration makes it almost impossible to fire a cop or firefighter. Vasquez will probably retire in a few years anyway. He's likely to get between 80 percent and 90 percent of his $109,000 pay as pension, proving that no bad deed goes unrewarded.
Will city officials eat at the Menlo Hub again? For journalists, it's the saddest question of all. We treasure overheard conversations like sacred relics. The chances of them happening at the Hub again soon are about the same as the Green Bay Packers winning this year's Super Bowl.
Maybe city officials will take their trade to the Gourmet Haus Staudt restaurant in Redwood City, where an Apple employee lost an iPhone prototype in 2010. At least it offers better security: Apple swiftly chased down the perpetrators who revealed secrets.

Many people do not consider making a bequest until they have worked many years to accumulate significant assets. Melissa Anne (May) Rogers (Class of 1994, M.Div.), only a few years after graduation, was already regularly donating to the Seminary for the Annual Fund. At the age of 28, she included Princeton Theological Seminary in her will. Giving back to the Seminary makes good sense for Melissa Anne. "Princeton Seminary provided me with a world-class education and I will never take that for granted.""When I got married and my husband and I rewrote our wills, I put both the church I am currently serving and the Seminary in my will. The Seminary provided more blessings than I could ever return. And even the challenges helped me grow and thrive in the ministry that was to come. Even now, the gifts I received during my time at Princeton are unfolding in ever new ways." Melissa Anne has been the director of pastoral care at the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, Michigan, since 2005, and in November, was installed as their associate pastor for pastoral care and congregational life. Prior to joining the staff there, she was a pastor in small congregations in Oregon, Alabama, and Pennsylvania. A trained marital and family therapist, she has also worked as a family grief and crisis counselor for Hospice of Lansing. This work has intensified her feelings of gratitude. "Because I work in pastoral care and share in many experiences with those who are dying, I know how fragile this beautiful life is, and feel compelled to make sure I can give thanks - in life, and in death. Because others had this understanding, my seminary education was supported by their generosity. Now I have an opportunity to leave a lasting gift for future students."

NEW ORLEANS -- Strong safety Donte Whitner has been around long enough to know when his team is ready to play the next game. That time hasn't arrived yet for the 49ers when it comes to the Super Bowl.
Whitner said Tuesday that the 49ers still are in the midst of ironing out the kinks, breaking down the Baltimore Ravens and getting in tune with the game plan.
To that end, Whitner said, he looks for signs that tell him the 49ers are ready.
"I haven't seen (the signs) yet," Whitner said. "We have a lot of work to do."
There's one glaring sign that the 49ers aren't where they need to be right now, he said.
"You know when a team is ready to go, when we're not making mental mistakes," Whitner said. "I really haven't seen that yet. We still have work to do."
Fortunately for the 49ers, they still have several practices to get to the desired level of readiness.
Given that, Whitner said he is confident that the 49ers will be as prepared as they can be when the game rolls around Sunday.
"I believe we are close," Whitner said. "We're close."
Whitner said coach Jim Harbaugh and the coaching staff are focused and making great strides toward getting the 49ers up to speed.
Once they reach that point, the 49ers still have to be on guard during the game for things that crop up, he said.

Knitter's Review
August 7, 2008
Do knitters have a secret handshake, some discreet way that we recognize each another out in public? Unless we happen to be knitting or wearing a sign that says "I knit," probably not.
But this week I show you a bag that can act as a knitter's secret handshake. To the uninitiated, it looks like an everyday messenger bag. But anybody familiar with knitting bags will spot the Della Q fabric used on the flap and guess that its owner is likely a knitter. Meet your new secret handshake, the Molly messenger bag.

Active Biotech raises €32.4m
07.03.2013 - Swedish Active Biotech has issued new shares to obtain money for its clinical autoimmunity and cancer programmes.
Active Biotech's Board announced that the Lund-based company will issue 6 million new shares to Investor AB at SEK45 per share, creating up to SEK270m (€32.4m). The company said it will use the proceeds to strengthen its capital base and to advance development and value-creation of its programmes. Currently, the company has two programmes in pivotal clinical studies: Active Biotech's Phase III renal cancer candidate drug ANYARA is managed and financed on a proprietary basis, while its multiple sclerosis drug laquinimod is partnered with Teva. The firm's Phase II prostate cancer candidate TASQ is co-developed with Ipsen, while the firm's preclinical candidates ISI and 57-57 are still unpartnered. The fresh capital strengthens Active Biotech's position in discussions with potential partners.
Active Biotech's two largest shareholders MGA Holding AB and Nordstjernan AB, and East Bay AB, who have 44% of shares each, said they would support the new issue. Through the new issue, the number of shares will increase 68,923,582 to 74,923,582 and the share capital will increase by from SEK 259,796,597.53 to SEK 282,412,653.46.

Fredric Butler's letter to the editor, printed Dec. 20, was written with obvious heartfelt compassion and sympathy for the victims and families affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. However, I must respectfully disagree with his statement that we should "grieve with them in silence."
I have transitioned from shock and horror, to prayerful and somber on the topic. Now I'm angry, and I want something to change.
I understand that this tragedy is not all about guns. But I want less assault rifles and better controls on guns in my world and the world I leave for my children. I want my elected representatives to hear from me on much needed gun control and voice my support for an assault rifle ban.
I want my friends around the dinner table and via social media to know I support stricter legislation on guns. I want to be heard for the 26 children and teachers who will no longer be heard.
It is exactly the time to stand up and voice your opinion to our congressman, senators and governor. Don't let this moment to be heard fade into the background of our lives. It's happened too many times, and with increasing frequency. The murder of these children and teachers in their school has to be enough for us to cry out for swift and meaningful change.

(he/she/it) gave written or oral notice of that termination to the plaintiff; or
the plaintiff was otherwise aware of the termination; or
the defendant publicly gave notice of the termination by some method that was

SAN JOSE -- Nearly two years after his May 2012 arrest in the kidnapping and killing of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar, Antolin Garcia-Torres was indicted Tuesday for the crime by a Santa Clara County Superior Court grand jury.
In addition to the killing of the young Morgan Hill resident, Garcia-Torres was indicted for a series of violent attacks on South Bay women in 2009, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
The indictment means he will now go directly to trial instead of face a preliminary hearing, the more common procedure of laying out the evidence. Before a case can go to trial, state law requires felony charges to be reviewed either in a preliminary hearing or by a grand jury. Now, the case can move forward without Garcia-Torres entering a plea, which his defense attorneys have put off in numerous court appearances since his arrest on May 21, 2012, about two months after Sierra's disappearance on a foggy March morning.
In a statement, District Attorney Jeff Rosen said his office took the case to the grand jury "to expedite the lengthy criminal process, which began almost two years ago.
"Sierra's family, the surviving victims and our entire community deserves justice," he said.
Prosecutor David Boyd said that while taking a case to the grand jury is "rare by volume, in a case of this type it's not as uncommon."
Marc Klaas, whose own daughter Polly was abducted and murdered more than two decades ago, has worked closely with Sierra's family in searching for the teen, whose body has never been found despite repeated expeditions by professionals and a dedicated cadre of volunteers.
Klaas called news of the indictment "wonderful, finally the wheels of justice are turning" but quickly added that it has taken far too long to move forward.
"I really think it's a travesty that this guy has survived so long in a jail cell after people have been aware of what he has done," said Klaas, who runs the KlaasKids Foundation. "This has been horrible for Sierra's family. They don't know where Sierra is. Their daughter, their sister has been missing almost two years while the guy who committed the crime sits in a jail cell and gets fed."
Garcia-Torres, 22, will be arraigned Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
Boyd said the previously filed charges will be dismissed in favor of those brought forth by the grand jury, but they are the same: Kidnapping with the special circumstance of murder in Sierra's case, and attempted kidnapping and carjacking of three women in the 2009 incidents.
After Garcia-Torres is arraigned, prosecutors will ask that the case be set for trial. Boyd did not know how long that might take because of the magnitude of the case.
"When you get something that's going to take this long, and is this involved and this serious," he said, "you want to pick a trial date that's fair to the victims but also accommodates other parties so everyone gets a fair say in court, whether it's the district attorney or defense."

Don't Lump All Emerging Markets in Together
One reason for global market weakness is investors' fears that emerging market economies may be heading for a broad crisis, sparked by higher U.S. interest rates and slowing growth in China.
Much of the analysis in the last few days has focused on why these nations are less exposed to a financial meltdown than during the Asian crisis of the late 1990s. A major reason is lower overall foreign debt exposures.
But a number of countries do look fragile, especially those that remain reliant on foreign investors for funding or have failed to institute economic overhauls.
Capital Economics, the London-based macro research company, points out that investors would do well today not to lump all emerging markets into the same pot. Its economists believe you can divide the emerging markets into five groups:
Mismanaged: Argentina, Ukraine, Venezuela. This group faces currency crises due to government policies, as exemplified by Argentina's recent depreciation of the peso amid runaway inflation and a thriving black market in its currency.
Living beyond means: Turkey, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Chile, Peru. These nations boomed on cheap credit and unsustainable consumption, which led to a surge in imports. As global monetary policy tightens, these nations will find it harder to finance their large current account deficits.
Weak banks: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria. These countries' banking systems are still fragile as institutions focus on repairing their balance sheets.
Domestic structural problems: India, China, Brazil, Russia. This group faces challenges to revamp their economic models. China, for instance, needs to rely less on state-led investment to fuel growth. India needs to allow more foreign investment. Brazil and China also face excessive credit growth.
Brightening outlook: South Korea, Philippines, Mexico, Poland, Czech Republic. Some of these nations have taken steps to overhaul their economies and reduce debt. Others, like South Korea and Mexico, should benefit from a pickup in demand from the U.S.
Kristin Forbes, a professor of global economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, argues in a recent paper that investors will differentiate more between emerging markets based on their vulnerabilities.
In the emerging markets selloff last summer, sparked by fears of higher U.S. interest rates, investors targeted nations with large current account deficits. Ms. Forbes notes a 60% correlation between a country's deficit as a percentage of GDP and the percentage fall in the value of its currency over this period.
But she argues that investors will focus on a broader range of data in the next few months, including nations' foreign reserve stockpiles, inflation levels, recent credit growth and mismatches in currency assets and liabilities.
Capital Economics believes some nations could be in trouble but others look resilient.
"The upshot is that as the tide turns toward tighter monetary conditions in the developed world, several emerging markets are vulnerable to recession and even economic crisis," Capital Economics said in a note to clients.
But it also noted that it does not see an overall worsening of conditions in the developing world. It is forecasting emerging markets to grow 4.5% this year, unchanged from 2013.

Wednesday, Jan. 18 • 7 p.m. CT
Dugan Wellness Center (1,500) • Corpus Christi, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE STATS/VIDEO: GoIslanders.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team is back in the Coastal Bend for a Wednesday night contest against UT Arlington at the Dugan Wellness Center. It is the only game that the Islanders will play at the on-campus facility this season, and the team will look to keep its perfect all-time record (3-0) at the Dugan in tact.
The Islanders are coming off a 67-55 setback at the hands of Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday night. Myron Dempsey led the way with 12 points and Chris Hawkins-Mast added 11, but the Islanders suffered a poor shooting night and Southeastern posted one of its best offensive contests of the year to emerge victorious.
The Mavericks sit atop the Southland Conference with their 4-0 conference record, and will bring a seven-game winning streak into the Coastal Bend on Wednesday. UTA knocked off Lamar, 91-82, on Saturday night for their fourth conference victory of the season. The Mavs won their first three league games (over Southeastern, Nicholls and Sam Houston State) by an average of 31.7 points and have not lost since falling on the road at Utah State on Dec. 20.
• Myron Dempsey has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in five of the last seven games, averaging 9.1 boards over that span.
• The Islanders are shooting .422 from the field in conference play, including .493 (72-of-146) from inside the arc. The Islanders shot just .368 in non-conference action.
• Chris Hawkins-Mast has seven straight double-digit scoring games. He is averaging 13.1 points over the last nine, including a career-high 22 at West Virginia.
• Johnathan Jordan had a career-high nine assists to just one turnover against McNeese State and six assists to no turnovers against Southeastern. He leads the league with 4.1 assists per game overall.
• The Islanders have used seven different starting lineups, with 10 different players represented.
• True walk-on Kennon Dvorak has made three straight starts for the Islanders at guard. He had played seven career minutes prior to that.
• Nate Maxey matched a school record with seven blocks against McNeese State on Jan. 7. Maxey has already set a new mark for blocks by a freshman with 31 on the year.
• The Islanders shot .571 (16-for-28) from the floor in the first half at UTSA, their best shooting half of the season. That eclipsed the first half against Denver, where they went 11-of-21 (.524).
UT Arlington is the prohibitive favorite in the Southland Conference at this current juncture, by virtue of its 4-0 conference mark and a win at East Division favorite Lamar on Saturday night. The Mavericks played tough non-conference competition, with games at Texas, Baylor, Tulsa and Utah State among their five losses.
LaMarcus Reed III was named Southland Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 21.5 points in two victories last week. He leads the team with his 15.2 points, but Bo Ingram (11.6) and Kevin Butler (11.3) are right behind him in the scoring column. Jordan Reves leads the squad with his 6.7 rebounds per contest, but the Mavericks have five different players averaging at least four rebounds.
Southeastern Louisiana used a 22-7 second-half run to pull away in a 67-55 victory over the Islanders on Saturday night at the University Center. The Lions placed four players in double figures in the win, led by DeShawn Patterson's 14, as head coach Jim Yarbrough collected his 200th career victory.Myron Dempsey led the way for the Islanders with 12 points, while Chris Hawkins-Mast scored 11, his seventh straight game in double figures.
The Islanders hold a 7-4 edge over the Mavericks in the series between the two schools. In Corpus Christi, the Islanders have a 4-1 advantage, while the Mavericks have a 3-2 edge in Arlington. The Islanders also knocked off UTA in the opening round of the 2009 Southland Tournament, 79-72.
Last season the two teams split the season series, with each squad taking its home game. The Islanders knocked off UTA 95-83 in the American Bank Center on March 2. Justin Reynolds had 26 points and 10 boards on Senior Night, while Terence Jones had 10 points and 10 assists, as the Islanders shot 31-for-54 (.574) from the field.
Junior college transfer Myron Dempsey has been an impact player on both ends. Against Utah State, he delivered his finest performance, tallying a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds in leading the Islanders to the upset victory.
The long, athletic rebounder is currently second in the Southland Conference with his 8.1 rebounds per game after averaging 9.1 per game over his last seven outings, five of which have seen him hit double digits. Fifty-six of his 130 boards have come on the offensive end, a league-best 3.5 per contest.
He is second on the team both in blocks (14) and steals (20) after swatting three shots and garnering a pair of swipes at UTSA. He has also improved from the field over the last couple of games, going 9-for-19 (.474) this past week after shooting just 5-for-19 over the prior two.
But looking closer at the stats, it is amazing to see just how Dempsey has collected his points this year. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native has scored a total of 144 points. Of those, 116 have come from in the paint, including 58 of his 61 field goals. The junior also has a team-leading 49 second-chance points.
The Islanders have seen a solid improvement in their offense as of late. The Islanders are shooting .422 (89-for-211) from the field in conference play, including .493 (72-of-146) from inside the three-point line. The Islanders shot just .368 in non-conference action.
The UTSA game was the ultimate example, as the Islanders had a season-high .571 shooting percentage in the first half (16-of-28) and went on to hit 46.8 percent on the game. Still, the Islanders struggled from beyond the arc, going just 6-of-21. That means that A&M - Corpus Christi shot 16-of-26 (.615) from inside the arc in San Antonio.
After being a role player in his first season for the Islanders, senior Chris Hawkins-Mast has emerged as one of the team's go-to guys on the offensive end. Hawkins-Mast is second on the team with his 11.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per contest.
On Dec. 17 against WVU, he delivered a career-best 22 points on 6-of-12 shooting and an 8-of-10 performance at the line.
He went just 15-for-50 (30 percent) from the field over the next four games before going 5-for-11 to lead the team with 15 points against Lamar on Jan. 4. He followed that up with 13 against McNeese State last Saturday, and then posted with 10 points at UTSA, all of which came in the paint. He is second on the team, behind Myron Dempsey, with 108 points in the paint.
Hawkins-Mast now has seven straight games scoring in double digits, and is averaging 13.1 points per game over his last nine. He is leads the team by posting 12 games with 10-plus points.
The native of Washington, D.C., went by the name "Chris Mast" a year ago, but chose to use his full legal name to honor his mother, whose maiden name is Hawkins.
Tonight marks the Islanders' lone game of the season at the Dugan Wellness Center. Since the facility opened in 2009, A&M - Corpus Christi is 3-0 on-campus all-time, including a 70-68 win over Sam Houston State last year and an 80-66 win over UTSA on Jan. 24, 2009.

Daffy? Out Injured?
I've just read that Daffy (the Yahoo transfer talk bit) is out for up to a month with a pelvic injury. Not good if true - but on the bright side, they're also saying that we are back in for Damiao (how long have we been linked to him?).Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Jan 29, 2013 20:49 Flag
I wouldn't worry too much - AVB said after the Leeds game that he would be back for Norwich, and I've seen the following apparently said in his Holtby press conference:
While Villas-Boas ponders throwing Holtby in at the deep end, he has shrugged off rumours suggesting Jermain Defoe requires surgery. Defoe sat out the 2-1 defeat as Tottenham tumbled out of the FA Cup at Leeds. But AVB insists the England striker will not be going under the knife.
He added: "No, it is not true. It is extremely important that Defoe can play. We have spoken openly about this situation and we know it is a situation of risk and limit.
But we are happy to take that risk at the moment. We are fine as we stand — it is something we are not considering."
I'm looking forward to this deadline day even more than usual - the last few have been fairly disappointing, but I don't think Levy will be satisfied with performances this season overall and there are some clear areas where we could use reinforcement, Damiao could be the first of many juicy fables!
- 1 Reply to not_blonde_really
Just after I posted the bit about Daffy another report came out saying that he was fine for tonight.
AVB's comment about 'risk and limit' must have lost something in the translation - presumably it means that Daffy is carrying an injury but that it is manageable?
Villa are looking a bit iffy after last night - and even though QPR got a draw, they will need another free falling club to come to their rescue - and Toon grabbing the points last night may have stopped their slide.
I guess the proof of how serious the issue is will be in whether he plays tonight and if he lasts the 90 minutes. 4 games in two weeks up to the 14th Feb.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, April 4, 2013
HEPHZIBAH, Ga. (WRDW) -- It's been almost nine months since deputies say Todd Goff strangled his girlfriend to death.
The victim's family says it still feels like a nightmare they can't wake up from, but despite their pain, they are trying to find ways to keep Tiffany Salter's story alive and keep this from happening to anyone else.
"You just never think that you're going to have to bury one of your children," said John Salter, Tiffany's father.
One scene continues to flash through the family's mind. It's the scene where deputies say Tiffany's boyfriend strangled her last July, then drug her body to the woods behind their home where they found a large hole.
"I struggle helping my daddy come to terms with it, and then my own self," said Bonnie Salter, Tiffany's sister.
The pain from that day hasn't gotten a whole lot easier for the family, but they are finding ways to deal with the loss. Just last week, they presented a check for $1,500 to SafeHomes of Augusta, an organization that helps victims of domestic violence.
"Daddy let me hand the money over, and it was just an awesome feeling," Bonnie said.
The money came from extra donations to the Salter family that helped pay for funeral costs.
"I promised the day I asked for it, that any money left over would go to SafeHomes, and that's where it went," John said.
They're hoping the donation will help save even just one family from reliving a nightmare like the one they're living.
"This one [donation] is very sensitive to my heart because I can tell that they really want to make a difference in this community," said Aimee Hall, executive director of SafeHomes of Augusta.
The Salters aren't stopping with the donation. They also plan to volunteer with SafeHomes to help others hear Tiffany's story.
"I can talk about domestic violence all day, but I've never really experienced it like they have. So, for them to be able to come in and talk with others who have witnessed this kind of tragedy is so beneficial," Hall said.
SafeHomes says they are going to put the donation towards their legal advocacy program that helps victims of domestic violence get legal assistance.

Locket with human remains found
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 5:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 5:57 p.m.
When Houma resident Leah LeBlanc received a unique heart-shaped locket from a friend about two weeks ago, she said she put the pretty trinket around her neck without a second thought.
But when she took it off to examine it, she noticed the sterling silver necklace looked familiar.
"I unscrewed the clasp, and sure enough, there were human ashes," she said.
LeBlanc's father died in 2011, and she bought a silver cross necklace to hold some of his ashes. The heart locket had the same craft-type design.
The necklace was found about July 1 near the parking lot of J&N Truck Stop, 9706 E. Main St., she said.
LeBlanc said she is sure the necklace has an owner who misses it deeply. She would like to return it.
"I have my dad. Having a part of that person left with you" has deep meaning, she said.
Anyone who knows who the necklace belongs to may contact Staff Writer Mary Kilpatrick at 985-857-2202.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
June 06, 2007
EIA: U.S. Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Energy Use Declined in 2006
The energy-related production of carbon dioxide in United States decreased by 1.3 percent in 2006, according to an initial estimate by DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA). Carbon dioxide is the dominant greenhouse gas emitted in the United States, and since most of it is produced through energy use, the trend in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions generally reflects the nation's trend in overall greenhouse gas emissions. The EIA credits the decline to mild weather conditions, a drop in demand caused by high energy prices, and the use of less carbon-intensive energy sources in the production of electricity. Overall, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions decreased from 5,955 million metric tons in 2005 to 5,877 million metric tons in 2006. However, over the long term, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 17.9 percent in the United States since 1990.
Of particular interest is a 1.2 percent decline in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from industry, despite an estimated 3.9 percent increase in industrial output. This suggests an industrial shift toward energy efficiency or low-carbon energy sources. In fact, industrial emissions of carbon dioxide in 2006 were nearly equal to the level of emissions in 1990. The EIA will release a full inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and a more detailed analysis of the trends in November. See the EIA press release.

Dill Seed Braid RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 3 2
Its pretty braided shape and pleasant dill flavor distinguishes this golden-brown loaf from other yeast breads. My family loves to eat it alongside soup, roast beef or pot roast. I almost always make two loaves-one just isn't enough!
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon dill seed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the yogurt, onion, sugar, butter, egg, dill seed, salt and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each portion into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a large greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf.

End tax credits for 'alternative' vehicles
April 3, 2013
West Virginia taxpayers should not be subsidizing the electric vehicle industry, which ought to be allowed to prosper or wither on its own merit....
If the state ends subsidizing the electric car industry then all subsidized industries in West Virginia should be treated the same. This newspaper seems to be selective in its opinion.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I still think the tax break is a great incentive for people buying the energy efficient vehicles. Toyota is selling their hybrids like crazy out here and they are the # 1 automotive car because they are light years ahead in the fuel economy since the gas shortages of the 70's. A person should be awarded for buying something efficient instead of driving a big junk truck that wastes gas.

As much as those vehicles cost, if they can afford them, they probably don't need a break. That money could be put to better uses, feeding kids, creating jobs, etc.

I do not believe that Ford received any bailout money and GM will never be able to increase the value of their stock that the treasury holds in order for the government to recoup the investment, thus the taxpayers will be stuck with seveveral billion in losses.

I see where Ford and Chrysler US sales were up in March. Ford's sales were up 6 percent and Chrysler's rose 5 percent compared with last March. General Motors said sales rose 6 percent last month. And republicans say the auto bailout was a joke!

And I'm talking about the actual RSS feed, not the WEB.conf itself. Far as I can see, feeds from WEB.conf are loaded on startup and then never again, unless PMS is manually restarted.
To give an example what I'm talking about, I got some news feeds in my WEB.conf, and pms has been running on my server for five days, if I check the feeds in my PS3 right now I'll see news from five days ago.
Not exactly high priority request, but it would be nice if it refreshed automatically, or even user defined interval, just anything else than doing it manually.

Today: Activist investor Carl Icahn drops his battle for bigger Apple return to investors, Tesla roars to record high ahead of earnings, investigation's completion.
The Lead: Icahn gives up campaign to increase Apple's share-repurchase plan
Carl Icahn's boisterous battle with Apple that sought a larger return to investors ended Monday, with the activist investor announcing that he will withdraw his proposal for $50 billion in additional share repurchases that was to be presented at the Cupertino company's annual shareholders' meeting later this month.
Apple shares gained 1.8 percent to $528.99, the highest closing price for the stock since a large drop following its fourth-quarter earnings report, after Icahn made the announcement Monday in an open letter to the same shareholders he was attempting to persuade, in which he pointed to Apple's recent repurchase of $14 billion worth of shares in just two weeks.
"These recent actions taken by the company to repurchase shares have been both 'opportunistic' and 'aggressive' and we are supportive," Icahn wrote, later adding, "we see no reason to persist with our nonbinding proposal, especially when the company is already so close to fulfilling our requested repurchase target."
Icahn began his campaign in August, when he announced that he had purchased $1 billion worth of Apple stock, which he characterized as "undervalued." Icahn immediately began agitating for Apple' to increase the size of its plan to return some of its large cash hoard to investors, which CEO Tim Cook announced in April and touted as the largest in corporate history at $100 billion, with $60 billion aimed at share repurchases.
Icahn has continued to add to his Apple investment, pushing his outlay on Apple shares to more than $4 billion as of last month, when he announced three separate purchases of about $500 million worth of shares in a week. However, shareholders with similar or larger stakes -- Icahn has still amassed less than 1 percent of the company -- came out against his plan recently, which seemed to have an effect on Icahn's plan.
Two of the nation's largest pension funds, the California Public Employees Retirement System and New York City's equivalent, had opined against Icahn's plan, with New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer writing Monday, "the proposal is a shortsighted and unnecessary attempt to boost Apple's current stock price at the expense of its long-term financial flexibility and value creation potential."
Perhaps most influential was Institutional Shareholder Services, an advisory firm that came out against Icahn's plan Sunday, which Icahn mentioned prominently in his letter.
"The board's latitude should not be constricted by a shareholder resolution that would micromanage the company's capital allocation process," ISS wrote.
Analysts pointed out that Apple's recent ramped-up stock repurchases were partly a reaction to Icahn's activism, a change in the way the company has operated in the past.
"It looks like Icahn's crusade paid off. Apple's board and Icahn are meeting halfway," independent investment manager Antony Filippo told Reuters. "Icahn wanted to spawn change and he got a little bit of that. Apple buying $14 billion around the $500 mark is huge. They would have never done that without an activist breathing down their neck."
"Their behavior towards the Street has changed," Peter Karazeris, a senior analyst at Apple investor Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, told Bloomberg News. "They seem to be more cognizant of things related to their stock."
After the bell, Apple received less celebratory news, as the company lost a legal appeal seeking the removal of an antitrust monitor appointed after the company's defeat in its e-books price-fixing trial.
SV150 market report: Tesla Motors hits record high, flirts with $200
Wall Street experienced slight gains in a tame trading session Monday, but technology stocks had a stronger session as the tech-heavy Nasdaq led the three major indexes in percentage gain and Silicon Valley stocks benefited from a record-breaking move by Tesla Motors.
Tesla jumped to record intraday and closing prices Monday, nearly cresting $200 for the first time in reaching as high as $199.30 and closing with a 5.4 percent gain at $196.56. CNN Money credited China's subsidies for electric vehicles coming in higher than originally expected, though Bloomberg News pointed out that Tesla will not be a part of the incentive program as a foreign company. The electric car company recently announced that it will not charge Chinese consumers more than those in the United States, beyond tariffs forced by the world's most populous nation, a decision many in China have heralded. Tesla is scheduled to release fourth-quarter and full-year results Feb. 19, though the Palo Alto company already showed off preliminary fourth-quarter numbers that beat expectations during a presentation at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month.
After topping Exxon Mobile to become the world's second-most valuable company Friday, Google fell 0.4 percent to $1,172.93, then announced after the bell that it had reached agreement with NASA and the federal government on a lease for Moffett Field that will result in Hangar One being re-skinned. Facebook dropped 1.2 percent to $63.55 while touting its television influence, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg came in atop a list of philanthropic donations for the $1 billion he gave the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Rival Twitter dropped 2.6 percent to $52.92 while doubts persisted about its potential popularity, and LinkedIn could not bounce back from post-earnings weakness at the end of last week, dropping 1.1 percent to $207.33. One social stock headed up Monday: Yelp reached all-time highs and closed with a 1.9 percent gain at $91.11 after reportedly signing a deal with Yahoo that will place Yelp's results prominently in Yahoo searches. Yahoo gained 1.4 percent to $37.76, and its Chinese investment, Alibaba, bid nearly $1.6 billion for a Chinese mapping company.

The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Up 8.79, or 0.58 percent, to 1,521.41
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 22.31, or 0.54 percent, to 4,148.17
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 7.71, or 0.05 percent, to 15,801.79

Another great piece of content from the guy at PA Hoops . This one explores the most memorable games over the years in chronological order. Really interesting stuff.
Most Memorable Games in PA basketball history
What do you think? Would you agree with any of these games? Would you add any?
It is an ok list. Some of them are good i cant think of any off the top of my head but i am sure there are better games. I remember that Lancaster Catholic game in 03 when they played Harriton who was the District 1 runner up. Lancaster went on to win states and be 34-0
great site. good info. great stat on wilt getting his only loss his senior year when he was at overbrook. hard to belive that another high school team could beat team wilt.
I thought Wilt lost his sophomore year at Overbrook but maybe i am wrong. I think that game in which Overbrook lost was when everytime Wilt touched the ball he had four guys covering him but still had 29 points or something along those lines.
greatest game ever-- not exactly posative on the year but i think it was 95 or 97, but severe underdog malvern prep upset the heavily favored coatesville red raiders. The stands of Dougherty Hall were packed as the upstart friars slayed mighty goliath. The story has a sad ending as goliath got his revenge and smashed the firars the following year. but malvern had their day in the sun.
i mean a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then
that blind squirrell has grown into a powerhouse. That one game was the catylyst of the Monster bball program.
found some old school great squds...prob best talent in pa in last 10 years was in 04
i remeber the legendary lenwood greenwood. great name great player. i heard to could take a quarter off the top of the backboard, just a rumor though. maybe someone else could shed some more light on that.
Legend Status
he only needed 3 more points to outscore the entire MP team thats impressive and it was such a blwoout you know he didnt play more than 20 minutes. I dont know about the quarter though this isnt White Men Cant Jump..

Young dogs sometimes develop a tendency to go back to the last place where they picked up a bumper. The triple line drill can be used to counteract that tendency and to refine your retriever's skill in taking a line. A large field with relatively light cover is the ideal setting.
These retrieves should be undertaken on a step-by-step basis. First, handling your dog from Point A, do two repetitions of a sight blind planted at location X1. Next, handling your retriever from the same spot, do two repetitions of a sight blind planted at location X2. Third, send the dog on two repetitions to a sight blind planted at location X3. After completing those six tasks, vary the order of six additional retrieves.
If your dog takes off for a retrieve other than one for which you lined him up, stop the dog with the whistle and cast him back to the proper line, or call the dog back and start over. Make sure the dog understands your lining instruction.
As your dog progresses and is consistently retrieving bumpers after being released from Point A, you can move back 10 yards to Point B. When the dog accomplishes retrieves from that position, move back 10 more yards to Point C and, finally, to Point D.
This should not be undertaken in a single outing. Also, keep in mind that since the dog will be running longer distances as you move from Point A to B, take a little longer between retrieves to let the dog catch his breath. Be careful not to overdo this drill in warm weather.

Corporate Sponsored Learning
Much of the formal adult education and training in the United States takes place in courses sponsored by the military, by corporations and unions, and by the Government. Some of these courses are taught by experts in the field, cover the material in depth, and are highly demanding. If you have taken such a course, your learning may be appropriate for college credit and should be assessed.
What is Sponsored Learning?
Throughout your life and career, you have probably participated in formal or on-the-job training sponsored by your employer or perhaps a civic or professional organization. Perhaps you are a licensed or certified professional (real estate broker, police officer, insurance appraiser, tradesperson), or have served in the military. If this is the case, you may be eligible for college credit based upon the learning required to achieve such standing.
Sponsored Learning simply means that training and/or educational experiences were developed, offered and monitored by an organization. As they are usually not accredited educational institutions , credit equivalencies need to be determined. The American Council on Education (ACE) evaluates such programs (at the request of the sponsor or provider) and makes college credit recommendations. Most of these credits are transferable. However, if you are planning to transfer to another institution, it is recommended that you review that institution's degree requirements and transfer of credit policies .
If you have credits from other accredited colleges and universities, these credits can be transferred to your CCRI transcript. You will be required to have "official" transcripts forwarded to the Office of Enrollment Services. Credits from other institutions are subject to the CCRI's transfer of credit policy.
How do I find out if my training has been evaluated?
The Community College of Rhode Island has evaluated several local programs and has developed standardized credit awards for such training. Review the list to see if your training has already been evaluated.
If you have successfully completed a training program sponsored by your employer, professional association or industry, it is suggested that you determine if a third party such as the American Council on Education has evaluated that training. You may want to start with:
- Your Human Resource Department or contact the Training Provider directly.
- The American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Workplace. You may want to look in the guide directly to see if the program has been evaluated. You may find copies of the Guide in your public library. Guides are available on campus. Contact Dean Peter Woodberry at (401) 825-2147 for locations.
- Review CCRI's most popular standardized Credit Awards for Sponsored Learning.
What if my training hasn't been evaluated?
If your training has not been evaluated by a third party such as the American Council on Education, or evaluated directly by the Community College of Rhode Island you have at least four options.
- Enroll in a higher level course. You may want to enroll in a college course that requires similar competencies offered in the training program, as a pre-requisite. You will have an opportunity to demonstrate to the faculty your expertise in the area, and possibly be awarded credit for the lower level course. You may need to get the instructor's permission to enroll if there is a prerequisite.
- Determine if a College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Test exists for the content of your training and take it.
- Determine if a CCRI department offers a challenge exam for a course with similar content and take it.
- Or you may petition the college to assess your learning through the Assessment process.
What evidence do I need to provide and where should I send it?
If your training has been evaluated by a nationally recognized third party and a credit recommendation exists, you may only need to provide a certificate of successful completion. This evidence should be forwarded to the Dr. Peter Woodberry, Dean of Business, Science & Technology, 400 East Avenue, Warwick, RI 02886-1807 along with a letter petitioning a credit award. You must have met all eligibility requirements.

CONCORD -- The East Bay Athletic League may have a new boys basketball champion this year.
Monte Vista High earned a 49-46 road win over perennial champ and host De La Salle on Tuesday to break a tie for first in the league standings and sweep the teams' regular season series.
But the Mustangs are well aware that they still have several more road blocks to clear before claiming any titles, even though one of their biggest challenges is over.
"We have a long way to go, we're not even talking about that yet," Monte Vista coach Nick Jones said. "I just told the guys, in our league there's the gauntlet, and we have the top four teams all in a row. We have one stage down."
Grant Jackson put the Mustangs (22-1, 10-1 EBAL) ahead for good and Trevor John made some clutch free throws to seal the win over the Spartans, who have won at least a share of every EBAL title since joining the league for the 2008-2009 season.
Monte Vista never trailed in the fourth quarter, but the game was tied when De La Salle's Jordan Ratinho hit a 3-pointer with 2:05 left.
A Jackson free throw put the Mustangs up with 1:36 to play. Then, on De La Salle's next possession, the senior guard stepped in front of a pass and converted a transition layup for a 47-44 lead.
De La Salle's Justin Hill was fouled twice in the final minute, but only converted on two of four free throw attempts. He had a chance to tie the game at the line with the Spartans down two and 13.2 seconds left, but split the attempts.
John made a pair of free throws with 4.8 seconds left, and the Mustangs avoided overtime when Spencer Rust smothered Ratinho's 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
De La Salle (17-6, 9-2) shot 12 of 21 from the free throw line overall.
"It's a great accomplishment for our kids," Jones said. "If you want to be good in this area, you have to beat De La Salle. That's the bottom line."
Jackson led the Mustangs with 13 points. Rishi Satoor (11 points) and John (10 points) also reached double figures for the winners.
Patrick Marr's 13 points and eight rebounds paced De La Salle.
Monte Vista, which last won an EBAL title in 2008, has three more games to close out the regular season, including a date with rival San Ramon Valley in their EBAL finale on Feb. 21. The Wolves handed Monte Vista its only loss of the season in overtime.
"I told the guys, 'Enjoy it tonight, but we'll be ready for Amador tomorrow at 3:30 when practice starts,'" Jones said.

Q&A: Will the FCC Read My Net Neutrality Comment?
The FCC is currently taking comments on what's become known as net neutrality, amassing more than 60,000 at last count. The proposal would ban broadband providers from blocking or slowing down websites, but allow them to make deals with content companies for preferential treatment, such as faster speed. Critics fear that increasing regulation on the industry could create a two-tiered system, where companies that can pay more get faster sites, essentially limiting those with lower budgets or new startups.
Here is a Q&A on how the FCC's commenting system works.
I left a comment. Is anyone going to read it?
FCC spokeswoman Kim Hart assures commenters that even though they are one of thousands, every submission is being read.
"All comments are reviewed and read by a team of people who specialize in the area of policy to make sure all viewpoints are accounted for," she said.
How do I make sure my comments are read?
Official comments are only received by email and the FCC's website. So those angry tweets and fiery Facebook messages people are sending to the FCC's social media accounts don't count. It's one thing Sunlight Foundation Communications Director Gabriela Schneider stresses when she advises people and groups on advocating for causes.
"Don't just post your opinion on social media, but also file comments with rulemaking agencies, call your members of Congress and write letters to your local media outlets," she says.
What is the FCC going to do with my comment?
It's more complicated than sorting the comments in a stack of "for" and "against." The Wireline Competition bureau of the FCC has been designated to read all 60,000-plus comments that have been sent via email and the FCC's website. A team of about a dozen in the bureau is designated to review comments.

- How HBO's John Oliver Helped Move The Needle on Net Neutrality
Typically, the team will read through the comments and may decide to flag some for FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler or others to read directly. What gets a comment flagged varies. It may be a particular interesting legal argument or a comment by a large company that is directly effected that gets flagged. Ms. Hart said they want to make sure the chairman and commissioners see all sides of an argument.
Why is this getting so much attention this week?
Net neutrality was already a hotly debated issue. But Sunday night, TV host John Oliver passionately encouraged anyone who has ever commented on the Internet to band together and defend net neutrality. Flashing a banner on the screen that showed the FCC's comment site, he courage all to "turn on 'capslock' and fly" and defend net neutrality – the idea that Internet service providers should allow equal access to all sites.
Ms. Hart, the FCC spokeswoman, said that about a third of the 65,000-plus comments on the proposal were received this week. People have been commenting on the issue since February, pushing back against the proposal in a sort of "net roots" movement.
Has the FCC ever received this many comments for anything else?
Not since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's 2004 Super Bowl performance coined the term "wardrobe malfunction" has the FCC received so much mail. That halftime performance generated 540,000 complaints – and that was before comments could be sent via email. Now it's much easier to leave a comment on the FCC's website.
Most items the FCC is taking comment for right now are in the low-hundreds. The only other proceeding open for comment with over 1,000 comments is the Comcast-Time Warner merger.
