Docs for cache_page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/cache/?from=olddocs#django.views.decorators.cache.cache_page
They point out a cache keyword argument one can use:
cache_page can also take an optional keyword argument, cache, which directs the decorator to use a specific cache alias when caching view results. By default, the default alias will be used, but you can specify any cache alias you want
I assume this means I can specify the cache_key to use. So, like the docs state I try this out:
@cache_page(60 * 15, cache="special_cache")
def my_view(request):
As soon as I do this I get a ValueError with the following exception & traceback:

Reading the docs and the traceback, I believe a misunderstanding is at work. The cache argument is, I think, a hint for which cache backend (or 'alias' in the new CACHES dictionary) to utilise; this seems borne out by the traceback, but I do think the documentation wording could be clarified.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Keryn, ah yes .. you're right. This makes a lot more sense now. I had a feeling it wasn't meant for what I thought it was for, but the documentation was confusing in that aspect.

Product Description
The British needed a new idea to break the trench deadlock, so they invented one; the tank. Cambrai is the first mass tank offensive, and offers attack/counterattack opportunities for both players. This is aided by the game's Area-Movement system remeniscent of Breakout Normandy.

Average Rating: 3 in 1 review
Although it was a decent game, GMT's recent Tigers in the Mist was disappointing because it was billed as an area/impulse game (in the mold of Storm over Arnhem, Thunder at Cassino, Turning Point: Stalingrad, and Breakout: Normandy), which really it isn't.
RTC is an honest-to-god successor to that series. The easiest way to describe it is to say it has the chassis of Turning Point: Stalingrad, with most of the complexity stripped away. Complexity-wise it's on the level with Storm over Arnhem, maybe even simpler; only 8 pages of rules, with the only real complexity relating to the use of artillery. Although it lacks the historical detail and grand sweep of TP:S and B:N, it scores in being more balanced, with both sides having the opportunity to attack and defend throughout the game.
This is an interesting battle and a good system, one I'm shocked hasn't been used more. It's a little pricey for the typically utterly mediocre Critical Hit production values (flimsy box, terrible map, low-quality counters), but if you like either end of the Storm over Arnhem range, it's definitely worth checking out.

With a Google AdWords account it is quite easy to go for paid advertising because this actually simplifies the ad creation process and makes it ideal to set up the budget for the same. With that said, creating an ad in AdWords is as simples as wasting your money. You might be spending most of your money and resources creating ads on AdWords and still fail to get enough clicks as the website fails to generate enough leads. This is a sign that you might be doing something wrong. In this piece, we are going to look at some of the PPC mistakes that are wasting your budget.
You continue to use poor-performing keywords
Most people get into the habit of adding new keywords to their landing pages as a test but fail to get rid of the poor performing keywords especially on larger accounts that are less visible. When this happens, it automatically creates a poor experience for potential customers who click on your ads and are redirected into a place where it is not really as they had expected. With this type of landing page mismatch, it results to lower conversion rates and high cost with every click.
Bidding broad
Every time you set up a marketing campaign try as much as possible not to be lazy. In every industry, there are giant keywords which automatically generate most traffic but also there are plenty of variations that are being searched. Try to put most of your attention on the "long tail keywords" because these types of keywords will help you to pay less in as far as PPC is concerned. The keywords you use need to be a close match to whatever it is that you are doing if you are looking to increase your ranking.
Fighting for the first spot
If you are paying a lot and the keyword you are targeting are broad, you may want to avoid being number one. If you can rank as third, the better because most people normally do their research before buying an item online. The risk of being number one is that you can attract visitors who might have not used the right keyword in their search.
Not being strategic with your daily budget
If say traffic to your landing page is getting cut off in the middle of the day because your AdWords budget is out, it is an indication that you could be having an issue with your volume and cost. The best way to tackle this problem is to use ad scheduling to drive traffic only when people are ready to convert.
A mismatch between your ad and your landing page
People dislike the thought of a mismatch if it exists between your ad and your landing page because once they get to your website, they'll fell that they have been cheated hence may not convert. Try to offer your potential customers perfect message match which will act as an incentive to converting.

What to Expect from Steam on Linux

'Ship of Theseus' Wins Best National Film Award
Four years ago, Anand Gandhi, the director of "Ship of Theseus," a philosophical drama, was struggling to raise funds for his feature film. On Wednesday, the film sailed ahead of many Bollywood smash hits to win the best national feature film award, among the highest accolades given to cinema in India.
The film, about organ donation, connects a blind photographer, an erudite monk and a young stockbroker in a plot based on a paradox first presented by the Greek historian Plutarch.
The Indian government described the film as one that "depicts issues of intuitive brilliance, metaphysical belief and intricate morality in a world full of contradictions." The Indian government picks the winners for the annual award, the first of which was in 1954.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last year, Mr. Gandhi said one of the challenges he faced was getting investors for a movie that dealt with complex philosophical questions of human identity and change. "The film's dealing with the subjects was not perceived to have commercial viability," he said.
Finally, at a local film festival in Mumbai last year, it caught the attention of Kiran Rao, an independent filmmaker and wife of actor Aamir Khan, who encouraged a big Indian studio to distribute the film on the national stage. The movie released in India in July 2013, a year after it was made and showcased at film festivals around the world, from Transylvania and Tokyo to London and Hong Kong. It was made on a 25 million rupee, or $413,000, budget.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which chronicles the life of legendary Indian sprinter Milkha Singh, won in a category, 'best popular film providing wholesome entertainment'.
Hansal Mehta won best director award for "Shahid," a film about a human rights activist, Shahid Azmi, who was assassinated in 2010 in Mumbai.
"Tuhya Dharma Koncha" (What's Your Religion?), a Marathi film about a tribal family, was judged best film on social issues.

Another solar blow out in WA ….. is there a better model out there?Posted: 15 May, 2012 Filed under: Consumer Action | Tags: consumer protection, solar panels, solar power, state government, state government budget, sungevity, western australia Leave a comment
Another state government and another budget black hole of almost half a billion dollars all blamed on the subsidies paid for rooftop solar power.
According to this West Oz article Western Australia now faces a $453 million bill over ten years. Feed-in rates nationally have been wound down yet the public still keep coming. It's a never ending story.
Intersting alternative model in the USA is Sungevity, they allow householders to lease solar panels, the company then deals with all the issues associated with feed in tariffs etc, According to this Forbes article they are launching in OZ.
What are your thoughts on the solar feed in tariff? Is it a case of buyer beware, or does the government have duty to help people who installed solar panel?
Consumer protection overhaul in UK streaks ahead of AusPosted: 26 September, 2011 Filed under: Consumer Action | Tags: consumer protection, consumers, legislation, trade practices act, UK Leave a comment
Over at the Labor conference in the UK, the shadow business secretary John Denham is set to announce a consumer protection overhaul.
As reported in The Guardian, Denham said:
"We are going to look at how a combination of fair competition, better rights for consumers and clearer responsibilities on directors of companies can bring [con jobs] to an end. This is bad enough at any time. But when prices are rising and wages are falling it is particularly important."
Obama gives consumer protection agency teethPosted: 19 July, 2011 Filed under: Consumer Action | Tags: consumer protection, obama, US, white house Leave a comment
It's pretty nice to receive an email from the White House, even if we did sign up for it. It's even nicer to read what the email's about – government standing up for consumers. They've just announced that the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau will transition from its start-up phase into a full blown 'real, live agency with the authority to write rules and to supervise the activities of America's largest banks.'
Its mandate? Plain and simple – 'looking out for regular people in the financial system.'

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio -Consistency ruled the day as the Belpre golfers captured Wednesday's Ohio Division 3 sectional title at Jaycees Golf Course.
Despite losing junior Brennen Ferrell to a wrist injury, the Golden Eagles accounted for four of the top 10 individual scores and finished with a 334 to advance to next Tuesday's district meet at Cumberland Trail Golf Course in Pataskala.
"Brennen was missed, but the other guys rose to the challenge," Belpre coach Scott Miller said of his No. 2 golfer in the lineup.
Sam Petty paced Belpre with a 9-over par 81, while Alex Perry added an 82. Following Hayden Plummer's 84 was Ferrell's replacement, Bryce Pittinger, who carded an 87.
Belpre's fifth man was Dakota Hoffman with a 91.
"Bryce wasn't going to play today, but he got his chance because of Brennen's injury and his score was one that we used," Miller said.
Waterford also qualified for the district meet after placing second at 349 thanks to Brandyn Offenberger, who earned medalist honors with a 75. Rounding out the scoring for the Wildcats were Montana Brooker (88), Brent Ginther (91) and Cameron Bosner (95).
Crooksville's Caleb Jago (79) and Adena's Peyton Cooper (81) also advanced as individuals not members of a qualifying team.
The district meet in Pataskala will include a total of 12 teams, with the top three placewinners reserving a spot in the state tournament (Oct. 12-13) in Columbus.
"Districts is what we have been shooting for all along - now we have to prove we are supposed to be there and make something happen," Miller said.

'TUF 14′ Episode 10 Recap: I'm Awesome, You're Not
(Gentlemen, please. You can *both* eat dicks. / GIF via IronForgesIron)
After a compact ten-episode run, Spike TV's final season of The Ultimate Fighter ended last night. So what did we learn? Repeating short phrases over and over again gives them more rhetorical power. "Fufessional" is just another word for dumbass. Karma visits upon every asshole.
But before we put this sumbitch to bed, we have two more semi-final fights to get through. John "The Snitchin' Magician" Dodson is training for his bantamweight face-off with teammate Johnny Bedford, while Bedford blatantly creeps on him the whole time. Coach Mayhem decides he won't corner either man, leaving that responsibility up to the assistant coaches.
Says Dodson: "I only got taken down once, by Prince [John Albert], and I'm never going to get taken down again." But taking Lil' John down is, in fact, Bedford's gameplan. And he doesn't think Dodson has the power to hurt him. Dodson giggles and poses in the face-off after weigh-ins. Once again, we marvel at how small this man is, and how he should really be competing at 125, if such a division existed in the UFC. And once again, his size disadvantage probably won't matter one damn bit.Read More DIGG THIS

OAKLEY -- Even though the Homeless Animals' Lifeline Organization animal shelter will no longer have a home in a few months, it will continue helping animals in need.
Council members voted 4-1 Tuesday to give HALO a 120-day notice to leave the former fire station on Second Street, where it had been housed since September 2011.
The action at the packed meeting was taken after supporters of former HALO President Tamara Reed contended that HALO was not being run properly since she was forced out in July and board member Wayne Sanderson took over day-to-day operations. HALO supporters disagreed, saying programs that benefit animals and people were not being dropped since Reed's departure.
Vice Mayor Carol Rios cast the sole no vote, saying she would have preferred extending the deadline until next March.
Before the vote was taken, Councilman Jim Frazier said, "We can't win in this situation. We are going to make one of you mad."
HALO will continue to operate and look for a new location to house its shelter operations, said Verlene Leonardo, who runs the cat program and is a former president of HALO from 2006 through 2010.
"We're going to have a big adoption event this weekend," she said Wednesday.
Reed, who was named president of HALO in 2010 after serving as a longtime volunteer, was dismissed in July by the board.
Sanderson later acknowledged that HALO directors had removed her in hopes of prompting Reed's sister, who served as a live-in caretaker at the shelter, to leave the premises. Some HALO directors had concerns about Renee Franceschini letting teenage volunteers spend time in her living quarters, creating an appearance of impropriety and exposing the nonprofit to possible litigation.
Norma Jean Kone, a Sanderson supporter, told council members she was hurt that a small group of "angry people are attacking our good name and cause ... the things they are doing are hurting the animals and volunteers."
Leonardo said that Franceschini moved out of the fire station on Tuesday.
"She's gone, and we moved the dogs back in today," said Leonardo, adding that HALO was not able to properly secure the fire station and operate the shelter while Franceschini was there.
"We will return to normal now that we can operate normally."
Meanwhile, Reed's supporters are working on setting up Animal Rescue Recon, a new nonprofit animal shelter, with the intention of Reed being named to run it.
"The new group is being formed by a group of volunteers that have the animals in mind first and not the politics," Reed said.
Treasure Carlson, who is working with Reed to set up Animal Rescue Recon, said the aim is for it to be housed in a facility but that the location would not have to be at the Second Street fire station or in Oakley for that matter.
"It was never our intention to try and take the (fire station) facility away from HALO," Carlson said. There were concerns that Sanderson had dropped several programs that were required under the lease terms such as dog training classes and a program that encourages children to read by having them read to dogs.
"We felt the city had a right to know what was going on," Carlson said.
In other matters at Tuesday's meeting, council members voted unanimously to approve a 45-day moratorium to prevent the opening of Internet cafes. The moratorium was enacted over concerns that people who go to Internet cafes do so primarily to buy computer time to enter online sweepstakes and that this activity has led to assaults, robberies and drugs sales.
The idea behind the moratorium is to give Oakley time to come up with rules that would regulate how Internet cafes would be allowed to operate. While there have been inquiries, no formal application to open such a business has been submitted to city officials.
Oakley became the latest East County city after Antioch and Pittsburg to approve similar temporary moratoriums that have stopped Internet cafes from opening while rules are developed. Brentwood is considering a similar moratorium.

Why don't you go look for WMD in Iraq. That's a good waste of time, money and lives.
Parody is supposed to have some basis in reality. This doesn't not one bit of it. So not funny, just pathetic. Why is it that right wingers can't do humor very well?
Remember all that talk about "rebuilding" Iraq? Most of the money was skimmed off to build up the bank accounts of the criminal corrupt companies who went there.

Application FAQ
Post-baccalaureate Classes
Do I have to complete the post baccalaureate classes before applying to the Master's Program?
We require that you have completed, and submit transcripts for, at least one semester of post-bacc coursework at the time of your application, so that we can see your academic potential in SLP courses. All post-bacc courses need to be completed by the time you begin the graduate program.
Application Deadlines
When is your graduate school admission application deadline? If I should miss the deadline, can I apply as a non-matriculate student?
Applications are due by January 1st for admission to the program the following fall. Please see the Admission Procedures section of the website.
Students cannot apply as non-matriculate students to the graduate SLP program. If you miss the deadline, you can apply for the following year.
Can I send in my application while waiting to take the GRE exams?
GRE scores are required to complete and process your CSDCAS application.
I completed my application via CSDCAS by the deadline for the Speech program. It will take 4-6 weeks to verify my application. Since my CSDCAS application has not been sent but it is complete, would my application be considered late?
No - we require only that your application be considered "complete" according to CSDCAS by the deadline. Note that we also require that you have submitted your University of Akron Graduate School application and fee by the deadline. We recommend that you submit your CSDCAS application well in advance of our deadline, in order to insure timely delivery of your application materials to us. Please refer to the Admission Procedures.
CSDCAS Application and Supplemental Documents
Is it still a requirement to apply through the website and through CSDCAS for the 2014 school year?
Yes! Full information and instructions are posted on the Admission Procedures section of our website.
What needs to be sent to Akron's Grad Program and what needs to be sent to CSDCAS?
Full information, instructions, and links are posted on the Admission Procedures section of our website.
ALL application documents must be submitted through CSDCAS - we will not accept any documents that are sent directly to us - all transcripts, letters of recommendation, essay, etc. should ONLY be sent to CSDCAS. They will process and then send your application to us.
The only 2 things that you will submit to The University of Akron's Graduate School are (1) the official copy of your GRE scores and (2) our Graduate School application/fee.
Should I send supplemental paperwork directly to the department to ensure the department receives my information in a timely manner?
No! We will not accept any documents that are sent directly to us - all transcripts, letters of recommendation, essay, etc. should ONLY be sent to CSDCAS. The best way to ensure that our department receives your application materials in a timely manner is to submit your application to CSDCAS well before the January 1st deadline.
Do I still need to send in a copy of my resume?
For your resume, you do not need to send anything to us directly - the information that you enter in the CSDCAS application is sufficient.
Is there a topic or prompt for the essay portion of the application?
In the CSDCAS instructions, you will find the essay topic for our program. Be sure to look under The University of Akron - SLP for our specific topic/writing prompt.
I had a few questions regarding the recommendation form. Does this form supplement a recommendation letter? Or do they only fill out this form as the recommendation?
As part of the CSDCAS application, you may choose to provide either an on-line link for your recommenders to submit their letters of recommendation electronically OR they can submit a hard copy to CSDCAS. We suggest using the electronic system when possible, for faster processing. The recommendation includes a short questionnaire/form for the recommender to complete, and an option to upload (or attach, if using hard-copy) a letter if they choose to do so. Please note that your recommenders should only be completing the CSDCAS forms - NOT the general University of Akron forms!
Do the people who are writing my letters need to submit a hard copy or upload them to the online component for the University of Akron's online application?
See answer above. You have a choice whether to request an electronic recommendation or a hard copy for CSDCAS. No letters of recommendation should be sent directly to The University of Akron.
What kind of letters of recommendation does your university look for?
In the CSDCAS instructions, you will find the information about how many letters we require, and from whom recommendation letters are acceptable.
I sent my transcripts to CSDCAS - is this enough or do you also need a copy sent directly to the school?
The Graduate School at the University of Akron does not need a separate transcript - the one we receive as part of your CSDCAS application will be sufficient.
Do I need to complete the coursework section on the CSDCAS application, since I will already be sending my transcript to your school?
YES!!! You must fill out the coursework/transcript section of the CSDCAS application! They will not process your application, or forward it to us, without that section. Please refer to CSDCAS' instructions and FAQ section for detailed information about your transcripts. They must also receive an official transcript from EACH institution you have attended, in order to verify all of your coursework. Again, your application will not be processed or sent to us without this step being completed. You do not need to send a transcript directly to The University of Akron.
I received an email stating that I needed to send transcripts in order for my application to be processed. Are the transcripts via CSDCAS sufficient?
Yes - our Graduate School will accept the transcripts which are part of the CSDCAS application as "official transcripts," since they have been verified by CSDCAS. You do not need to send additional transcripts. Once the Graduate School receives a copy of your CSDCAS application, they will process your UA application.
GRE Scores
Do my GRE scores that I send to your school need to be the official scores, or can they be a copy made of my original scores I received in the mail?
Our Graduate School needs an official report of your GRE scores - they will not accept a photocopy.
Graduate Assistantship Application
I found an application for graduate assistantships on the University's website. Do I need to fill this out, and is there anything else I need to do to apply for a graduate assistantship?
For our program, students do not apply for GA positions - so please do NOT send in the general application form that is found on the Graduate School's website. All we ask you to do is to check the box on the application that indicates your interest in an assistantship. We will gather more information about your interest in assistantships during our interview process.
Reapplying to the Program
I am planning to reapply to The University of Akron this year - does your department still have my GRE test scores and other materials, or do I need to resend them?
The Graduate School will keep your GRE scores on file - you will not need to resend those. GRE scores are valid for five (5) years. However, you will need to complete a new CSDCAS application for this year. Please refer to the FAQ section of the CSDCAS website for detailed information.
Communication and Notification about Application Materials
How will I know if the University of Akron has received all of my application materials?
The Admissions Coordinator of the Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program will send you email notifications via CSDCAS, as each portion of your application is received by our program. If you need to check on something that was submitted to The University of Akron's Graduate School (GRE scores, UA application, fee, etc.), you may contact our Graduate School directly. Their email address is firstname.lastname@example.com and their phone number is (330) 972-7663.
NOTE: please be sure that your email address on your CSDCAS application is correct and complete - as this is the only means by which we will contact you during the application process!

NEW BEDFORD — New Bedford police arrested a city man on charges of breaking and entering and larceny on Sunday morning, police said.
Police said they found Jacob Martin, 24, inside a tractor trailer packed with Coca-Cola products at around 10 a.m. Sunday.
The rear door had been pried open and a man they identified as Martin was in the process of taking merchandise, according to police.
At his booking, police said Martin asked to use his cell phone, which he used to call his girlfriend who has an active restraining order against him. His charges will include violation of a restraining order, police said.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday morning in New Bedford District Court.

By Ms. Kim C Gillespie (USASAC)May 14, 2013
Maj. Gen. Del Turner, commander of the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command, recently visited Georgia and Morocco as part of the command's strategic engagements with U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command countries. Turner was accompanied by USASAC Command Sgt. Maj. Rodger Mansker and Col. Marvin Whitaker, director for the command's EUCOM/AFRICOM Regional Operations Directorate.
Known as the "Army's Face to the World," USASAC's military, civilians and contractors maintain contacts with officials of more than 140 countries the command supports through security assistance and Foreign Military Sales.
"These engagements allow us to see firsthand how we are building the country's capacity and capabilities," Whitaker said.
Georgia is a coalition partner that has more than 1,600 troops serving in the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. With 41 FMS cases that range from equipment to training, the engagements conducted by USASAC included U.S., Georgia Ministry of Defense and Georgian Armed Forces officials.
"The DCM (deputy chief of mission, U.S. Embassy, Bridget Brink) emphasized that these are challenging times and continued engagements are key and encouraged," Whitaker explained.
During meetings with the Office of Defense Cooperation and the Senior Defense Office Defense Attaché, Turner, Mansker and Whitaker were told of the importance of coalition partner capacity, and how the deployment of Georgian soldiers reduces the need for U.S. Soldiers to deploy.
Building partner capacity was also a topic of conversation for the Georgian Ministry of Defense.
"The deputy defense minister (Tamar Karonsanidze) expressed how grateful they were with U.S. (security) assistance and transformation of their military and noted that a big part of this (success) was their transparency and knowledge to the public, which leads to trust," Whitaker said. "Maj. Gen. Turner responded that like Georgia, many countries choose FMS because of the big three: integrity within the contract, transparency of the process, and the Total Package Approach."
The Total Package Approach is a "package" through FMS that includes not just materiel, but training, facilities, spare parts, publications, maintenance and logistics support and other services that ensure a capability.
The Army manages cases for training that are conducted by Marine Corps Mobile Training Teams, so a visit to Georgia's Krtsanisi National Training Area was also included as part of the engagement.
"The visit to KTA was really the highlight of the visit because we observed the MTT conducting training with the Georgian battalions that will be deploying to Afghanistan," Whitaker said. Future plans for the academy were also discussed with the USASAC team.
The engagements conducted in Morocco were similar to the Georgian engagements with meetings with the U.S. Country Team, the Office of Security Cooperation, Moroccan Ministry of Defense's general inspector of the Moroccan Royal Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Abdelaziz Bennani and the director 4th Bureau of the Moroccan Army.
"Lt. Gen. Bennani specifically pointed out that we have an 'indestructible military relationship,'" Whitaker said. "Much of the discussion with Morocco involved critical FMS cases, EDA (Excess Defense Articles), training and spare parts."
USASAC's motto is "Strength in Cooperation," and according to Whitaker, that is exactly what these recent engagements were about.

Even Bananas Could Have Memory
Since the late 1990s Norwegian company Thinfilm has been working to create a form of low-power, printable, rewritable memory that uses a non-toxic polymer rather than silicon. It offers a cheap way to give almost anything a memory.
Thinfilm's C.E.O. Davor Sutija has been talking to Forbes' Alex Knapp.
What Thinfilm is working towards is a world where virtually every item that we use is tagged with memory and sensors, harvesting information locally that can then be gathered at leisure.
"For example," Sutija says. "Think of your car. Right now you rely on a maintenance schedule for replacements, repairs, service, etc. But imagine that the individual components of your car can be tagged – your brakes can tell you when they need to be replaced by using its own sensors and reporting the information."
That's the future that Thinfilm is working towards though a new partnership with PARC, a Xerox company. Last October, the two companies announced that they had created a printable chip using PARC's transistors and Thinfilm's memory to create a low-cost, low-power memory that's capable of being subject to programming logic.
A visit to Thinfilm's website reveals the rapid development of the company based in Oslo, Norway, with development facilities in Linköping, Sweden. In June, for instance, it announced the opening of its Tokyo office with appointment of Prof. Jiro Kasahara, former executive technical director at Sony, as its representative. It already has a San Francisco office.
In November it released a $49 development kit to provide designers with the tools to create rewritable stickers containing 20 bits of data corresponding to a lookup table storing more than a million entries. The suggested applications are initially games, but clearly could be used as part of the "Internet of things" where every object can be given a unique identifier.

By Jason Noble and Jennifer Jacobs
Kent Sorenson, the Iowa state senator embattled over accusations that he inappropriately received pay from at least one presidential campaign in the lead up to the 2012 Iowa caucuses, has resigned from office, according to a Senate leader.
The Milo Republican stepped down just hours after an independent investigator delivered a damning report to the Senate Ethics Committee, which has been investigating his conduct for several months.
The report found "probable cause" that Sorenson broke ethics rules by accepting payments from a political action committee associated with U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, and that his denials of taking such payment may represent a felony under Iowa law.
See the 566-page report: Volume 1 | Volume 2
The resignation was announced by Senate Republican Leader Bill Dix in a statement released shortly after 5 p.m.
"Today, I called for Senator Sorenson's resignation, and he agreed to do so effective immediately," Dix said in the statement.
In an interview after the statement was released, Sorenson told the Des Moines Register he decided to quit fighting the charges for the sake of his family. It has already cost him thousands of dollars, he said. In an earlier interview, he said he never made any false statements and maintained he violated no ethics rule.
In a 566-page report filed with the Iowa Senate on Wednesday, Mark E. Weinhardt, a specially appointed independent counsel to the Iowa Senate Ethics Committee, reports that Sorenson received money from Bachmann-controlled political action committees by filtering the funds through two separate consulting firms.
Sorenson served as the Iowa campaign chairman of Bachman's presidential campaign until a dramatic defection to the U.S. Rep. Ron Paul's campaign just days before the Jan. 3, 2012, caucuses.
Senate ethics rules prohibit legislators from receiving payment – either directly or indirectly – from political action committees.
The report also finds that Sorenson received a $25,000 check from a senior official in former Paul's presidential campaign. He also received $73,000 in wire transfers that Weinhardt called "deeply suspicious."
Sorenson told the Register he spoke to the special investigator for 2 1/2 hours, then could tell from Weinhardt's line of questioning that he'd already drawn his own conclusions. At that point, Sorenson said he declined to answer further questions.
Taking money from two corporations is much different from taking money directly from a presidential campaign, he argued. "I don't believe I lied," he said. "If you're a subcontractor, who do you work for? I was never an employee of Bachmann for President."
His lawyer, Theodore Sporer, said the investigator is taking quite a bit of latitude in his interpretation of the Senate rules.
"(Sorenson) didn't say anything that wasn't true and if that broad reading is accurate, it will present a host of problems for the Senate – there would be senators from both sides of the aisle that would have violated this rule," Sporer said. "I'm going to guess the report skirts around that direct versus indirect issue."
Sporer added that their comments are about the allegations connected to the Bachmann campaign not the Paul campaign money, which is a separate matter.
Sorenson told the Register that one of his fellow senators knew that presidential candidate Rick Perry was renting building space from him because Perry wanted the senator's endorsement. Another senator who owns a restaurant catered food for campaign workers, he said.
"So cooking a hamburger for a campaign isn't working but giving advice is?" Sorenson said.
The report says that in Sorenson's cases, money from the presidential campaigns was received by a company called Grassroots Strategies, Inc., which was wholly owned by Sorenson. In the case of the payments from the Bachmann-associated PACs, Sorenson took money from Grassroots Strategies as income for himself, Wienhardt found.
For his work on Bachmann's presidential campaign, Sorenson received payment from the Bachmann For President campaign committee and MichelePAC, a leadership PAC set up by Bachmann to raise money for other candidates, Weinhardt found.
"We believe it was a plain violation of Senate Ethics Rule 6 for Senator Sorenson to accept compensation from MichelePAC to work on Representative Bachmann's behalf," Weinhardt writes in the report.
Sorenson's payments from Bachmann for President, meanwhile, present "a question of interpretation" of the Senate rule – and indicate a need for the Senate to rewrite the rule to clarify its intent.
The report also notes two instances in which Sorenson denied being compensated by the Bachmann campaign in written statements to the Senate Ethics Committee. There is probable cause to believe, Weinhardt found, that those statements are false and that Sorenson knew them to be false when he made them.
Such false statements would constitute felonious misconduct in office, which is a class D felony.
The investigation originated with a complaint from Peter Waldron, a political consultant from Florida who worked on Bachmann's campaign in Iowa throughout 2011.
In a statement to the Register on Wednesday, Waldron said he was "vindicated" by the report but regretful that Iowa's first-in-the-nation status had been "soiled" by its findings.
"The people of Iowa must now change the ethics rules by which they control the behavior of their senators in both parties," he said in the statement. "No payments of any kind, directly or indirectly, can flow to senators if Iowa wishes to preserve it unique role in the presidential nominating system in America."
Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Wally Horn, D-Cedar Rapids, said he hoped to call a meeting of the committee for early next week to discuss the matter. In an interview before Sorenson's resignation was announced, he declined to even guess, however, at how the committee might respond to the report.
With Sorenson's resignation, the issue may now be moot.
The Ethics Committee is made up of three Democrats and three Republicans. It could do anything from dropping the matter entirely to rendering judgment on Sorenson's guilt or innocence.
Horn also noted that the committee is anticipating another report from Weinhardt, looking at a second set of allegations against Sorenson relating to whether he took money from the Paul campaign.
As of Wednesday afternoon, most senators had not even seen Weinhardt's report, which was delivered to the Secretary of the Senate's office in the Capitol. Lawmakers adjourned in May, and are back in the Statehouse infrequently during the interim period.
Sen. Jeff Danielson, D-Cedar Falls, called on his fellow senators to withhold judgment on Sorenson, noting that potential sanctions could end up before the whole Senate at some point. But he did say the situation points to the need for tougher ethics rules and laws in Iowa.
"We need to protect the integrity of Iowa's politics," he said.
That means writing a clearer prohibition on lawmakers receiving compensation from political campaigns and writing such a ban into state law rather than legislative ethics rules, he said. As chairman of the State Government Committee, Danielson has led campaign finance and ethics reform issues before.
Sen. Jerry Behn, R-Boone and a member of the Ethics Committee, said Wednesday afternoon he'd spent the day out in his soybean fields and was unaware the report had been released.
"My position from the first initial report is that a guy is innocent until proven guilty," Behn said. "I really want to see the report and find out what's going on. … I don't think it's appropriate for me to say anything yet."
Sorenson, 41, is a first-term senator representing a district just south of Des Moines. He previously served one term in the House.
In the other major issue Weinhardt reviewed, he found no evidence that Sorenson personally took a list containing the contact information for home-school families from the computer of another Bachmann campaign worker. He find evidence, however, suggesting Sorenson was involved in a conspiracy to obtain the list for use by the campaign.
The list was stored on a computer owned by campaign worker Barb Heki in connection with her work for the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators. Heki sued Sorenson and the Bachmann campaign for obtaining the list and sending emails to the names it contained. The issue also has been the subject of an Urbandale police investigation.
Weinhardt's report notes that a third campaign worker, Chris Dorr, took responsibility for taking list, although there is evidence of a conspiracy involving Sorenson.
"The objects of the conspiracy were to remove the list from Ms. Heki's computer without her knowledge and to make use of the list to [Bachmann for President's] and Senator Sorenson's own advantage while knowing that the list had been stolen," Weinhardt writes.

Bandung (IPA pron.: /bVndUN/) is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, and the fourth largest city of the country. Located 768 m (2,520 ft) above sea level, Bandung has relatively year-around cooler temperature than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin and surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topology provides the city with a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason of Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.
Architectural Jewels
In the late 18th and early 19th century, as locals called it the bandoeng tempo doeloe (old Bandung) era, there were many buildings built with an art-deco style. The city that had served as a weekend resort for European richmen has made these type of buildings possible. Unfortunately the city administration has a tendency to create a modern look of the city with suspension bridge, banks, malls and commercial areas, instead of preserving old historical buildings. The non-profit organization has been formed recently to save these jewels forever.
Make sure you see these buildings before they're gone.
- Villa Isola, Jl. Dr. Setiabudhi 229.
Architect: C.P.W. Schoemaker. Built in 1932 for an Italian millionaire D.W. Berretty as a villa. It lies in the northern part of Bandung, overlooking the city to south and the Tangkuban Perahu mountain to the north. Villa Isola and its 2 gardens have a magnificent design by its architect, combining the unique landscape and the Indo-European architectural style. This monumental art was later used for a hotel, named Hotel de Luxe. Now it serves as UPI's (University of Education Indonesia) headmastership building.
- Gedung Merdeka, Jl. Asia-Afrika 65 .
Architect: Van Gallen Last and C.P.W Schoemaker. Built in 1895 for a club house for rich people, named the Concordia Society. In 1955, this building was famous as the first Asian-African conference venue. Now it is a museum for that conference.
- Savoy Homann Hotel, Jl. Asia-Afrika 112, (+62)-22-4232244. it was built in 1880, renovated in 1938 by a Dutch architect A.F. Aabers with an art-deco style as it is seen today. It still serves a hotel until now. The King and Queen of Siam, The Prince and Queen of Belgium, The Governor General of Indo-China, The Duchess of Westminster and even Charles Chaplin had stayed there three times. You can also still stay in this hotel and enjoying the old colonial time.
- Grand Hotel Preanger, Jl. Asia-Afrika 81.
It has two sides: the old facade and the modern wing side. The old facade has an interesting story, as C.P.W. Schoemaker designed the art-deco style that is blended with local culture. It was a controversial issue at that time, but that gives a unique style.
- Gedung Sate, Jl. Diponegoro.
Architect: J. Gerber, built in 1921. It was used as the head of the Dutch Indies Government Companies. The roof has a decoration of a popular food as now it is famous for the name, though it was not meant to be like that. In fact, it is a 6 ornaments, symbolizing , the cost of the building. Now, the complex is the office of governor and the local provincial house of representatives. Interesingly, this building mixes different architectural styles: Spanish style for the windows, Italian for the overal building, and between Balinese & Thai's for the roof. The facade faces directly to the Mt. Tangkubanperahu. The building is open for public, and at the end of the journey inside, you can sip a nice hot drink while watching the city view from the top floor.
- Cipaganti Mosque, Jl. Cipaganti.
Architect: C.P.W. Schoemaker, built in 1933. It was the only mosque that was built in the European residential area in the northern part of Bandung. The central facade still has the original design, but the mosque has been expanded to both of its side.
- ITB West and East Hall (Aula Barat & Timur ITB), Jl. Ganesha 10.
ITB is Institute Technology Bandung, the oldest institute of technology in Indonesia. It was built in 1918 by the architect Maclaine Pont. The most prominent Dutch East Indian architecture is the West and East Hall of this insitute, where a West Sumatran style of architecture was used.
Art & Science
Bandung has been the melting point between the local Sundanese culture with the high-end technology developed at the Institute Technology Bandung. There are some interesting places to visit:
- Saung Angklung Udjo . is a traditional South-East Asian musical instrument, made by bamboo. Udjo Nalagena, a famous angklung artist, created an Angklung House in the outskirt of Bandung, where angklung is made, learned and played. You can enjoy an angklung orchestra played by 12 year old or less children or even be a part of this orchestra, holding one of the angklung instrument. The place is in the middle of padi terrace and bamboo field, a perfect location to feel the relaxness of a small village. It is one of the famous travel destination among westerners and is highly recommended.

Moving Statues. H.C. Verbraak, S.J., Taman Maluku, Bandung, Java, Indonesia
Made by Rana Pipiens
In Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in the shadow of the Laurenskerk, stands an iconic statue of Desiderius Erasmus, great European humanist. Aptly for a scholar he is holding an opened book. The more than life-size sculpture was designed by the Dutch sculptor and architect Hendrick de Keyser (1565-1621) and placed in 1622, just after his death, and it has since then been moved around at least three times. Ever since the seventeenth century legend has it that if/when (a double meaning of the Dutch word 'als') the statue hears the church bells ring on the hour, Erasmus will move to turn a page of his bronze book. This present photo of a handsome statue in Bandung is from an entirely different era. It is of Father Henricus Christianus Verbraak, S.J. (1835-1918). Verbraak was an army chaplain to the KNIL (The Dutch East Indies Army), notably during the cruelly gruesome wars the Dutch inflicted upon the independent, sovereign state, the Sultanate of Aceh on north Sumatra between 1873 and 1903. By means of this war, they sought free trade in pepper, access to oil, freedom from piracy in the Straits of Malacca, and colonial power over Sumatra. Many tens of thousands of the Aceh population were slaughtered or died of famine. But sometimes a violent, conquering army has people associated with it who try to be humane. Such a one was Father Verbraak. In fact, his humanity and Christian goodness is recognised even today by Indonesia. Of the statues of Dutch colonial luminaries in Bandung, this is the only one which survives, and it has a beautiful place in the lush gardens of the Taman Maluku, along which appropriately runs the Jalan Aceh. In 1893 - in the middle of these intemperate wars - A. Prell writes of Verbraak (translated from the Dutch): 'I don't think that any soldier - whether Christian, Jew, Mohammedan or pagan - departed Aceh without regarding Father Verbraak with deep admiration.' Just how broad his views on religions were is demonstrated by this - I think, moving - anecdote. Asked by someone: 'Father, will your prayer also help someone of another faith', he is said to have replied: My son, for God we are all equal and he will not reject you. You were a valiant soldier and are now dying for your country' (curiously mixing spirituality and the politics of nationalistic war). Whatever the case, Verbraak was - in some circles - notorious for rejecting proselitising. His services to the KNIL rendered him a number of decorations (see those on the left of his chest). This statue was made by the Dutch sculptress Gerharda Johanna Wilhelmina (=Gra) Rueb (1885-1972), who though not Catholic was greatly impressed by Father Verbraak's reputation. She made the model free of charge and it was cast by the Fonderie nationale of Belgium at Brussels. Shipped to Indonesia, again free of charge, by the Dutch steamer HMS 'Nederland', it was placed soon after the consecration of Bandung's St Peter's Cathedral - not far away on Jalan Merdeka today - in 1922. Here in Bandung this statue is also said to move. When the Angelus is tolled from the Cathedral, Father Verbraak bows slightly and prays. Looking at his face closely I thought the eys rather remarkable. I now gather from a source that towards the end of his life Verbraak suffered from a debilitating eye disease. The garden itself of the Taman Maluku is a delight, but the brook that flows through it is probably polluted; along it, though, there's a profusion of the purest of white Hippobroma longiflora - like Verbraak not native to these lands but comfortable here! The key for the Taman gate may be requested from the highly obliging Bandung Park Services nearby.
Strong Oleander, Bandung, Java, Indonesia
Made by Rana Pipiens
Nerium oleander! What a friend always... It naturalises quickly and soon becomes native to even the most inhospitable areas as long as there's enough moisture and warmth and light, of course. I've seen it all over the world from Europe to the Americas, from Iran to Japan, from Sri Lanka to Southeast Asia; in pots on balconies in colder climes, in sere river beddings, on the edge of deserts, and in oases, in lush tropical gardens... This morning driving the long and crowded and polluted and smoggy Asphalt Route from Bandung to the Jakarta airport, my thoughts went back to this particular Oleander shrub. It's in a very congested area in Bandung in the middle of busses and motorcycles belching forth thick clouds of exhaust, backed-up cars emitting invisible pollution; the noise is deafening. Poor walkers nearly die of lung collapse (I know...). Yet, on the southeast corner of Jalan Pajajaran and Pasir Kaliki this pretty Oleander merrily blossoms and is pink with delight at the sun which is able to force its rays through the Dark Clouds of Pollution. I shot the photo, and was helped across the busy crossing by a couple of curious urchins - what could 'Mistttrrrr' be doing!? - who then serenaded me with their guitars. Of course they were tipped!
Frog's Flower, Hippobroma longiflora, Taman Maluku, Bandung, Java, Indonesia
Made by Rana Pipiens
Considering the previous picture posted in this photostream of Father Verbraak and his history of Christian philanthropy as a chaplain in the KNIL during the Aceh Wars, another name for this flower might be appropriate: Star of Bethlehem. I found it along a dirty little stream in the gardens of the Taman Maluku hosting Verbraak's statue (a stream much too polluted for Frogs of my family...). Carolus Linnaeus in 1753 classified our Hippobroma as a lobelia. The Scottish botanist George Don - a member of a truly 'botanist' family - apparently coined the name 'Hippobroma longiflora' (1834). Among its many names in English are 'Horse Poison' or 'Horse Madness' (I would think the Greek '-broma'/'-bromos' is used a bit elliptically here.) and also Frog's Flower. Whatever the case, modern botanists are quite careful by writing only that 'it is 'said to kill horses or grazing cattle'. Our Hippodroma is a marvellously pretty and intricate flower. But like Verbraak, it is not native to Java. It comes originally from the West Indies, probably from Jamaica. In the course of the centuries it has become 'naturalised' in many tropical areas all over the world.

Great Mosque of Bandung
Made by Ferry Zuljanna
Masjid Agung Bandung, Great Mosque of Bandung in Indonesian language, had been shape renovated at least seven times. As a common for every center of traditional city in Indonesia, it is originally built in 1812 at a bamboo house with sago palm leaves roof (atap rumbia). After big burning in 1825, this mosqoe was rebuilt using wood and stone wall as the main construction. Similar to the other traditional mosques, this building roof originally conical shaped ('bale nyungcung'). In 1955, President Soekarno create a giant false dome using metal material which only last 17 years. In 1970, the roof back again to simple cone. The shape shown in photograph is a result of big renovation in 2002-2004. The two minaret (tower) 90 metres high is used also for tourists sightseeing. (Articles translated from bandungheritage.org)

The distinctive forms of silat with other Asian martial arts, such as Kung fu, Taekwon-do or Karate, lie on the cultural aspect. Silat is not only for combative purposes. When accompanied with traditional instruments, such as kendang, silat transforms into a folk dance. In Minangkabau area (the West Sumatra province of Indonesia), silat was the oldest men's tradition known as silek and it is one of the components to perform the Minangkabau folk dance of randai. A silat form in West Java province of Indonesia, known as pencak, is usually accompanied with music, notably by the traditional Sundanese suling instrument.

Letter from SGA president to BPC students: A call to action
My Fellow Barons,
I firmly believe students are the heart and soul of Brewton-Parker, which is why I encourage you to become a member of one of the many student organizations on campus. I'm delighted that our college has a wide range of organizations, but without student participation, they become baseless. Your voice and active participation is crucial to the growth of this institution.
Becoming a member of a student organization is a prime opportunity to build lasting friendships as well as valuable skills. The Student Government Association (SGA) is devoted to seeing you involved; however, it's up to you to take advantage of the opportunity.
As a freshman, I learned that Brewton- Parker is what you make of it. The more involved I became, the more happy memories I experienced. Despite some difficulties we may face, our college is a wonderful place. Ensuring that the students' voices are heard is our foremost objective, and student organizations serve as a vehicle for achieving that goal.
We all must work together to move our college forward. I plan to play my role by serving you as SGA President and I hope you will help by joining a student organization. I issue this call with a deep interest in you having an amazing time at Brewton-Parker. This is an "all hands on deck" moment for our college, and I know I can count on your support.
Joshua McPhatter, SGA president

The New Jersey Devils refused to be bullied on Broad Street. They were patient, aggressive and disciplined. As a result, they're moving on in the playoffs.
David Clarkson scored the go-ahead goal on a mistake by goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, Martin Brodeur made 27 saves and the Devils eliminated the Philadelphia Flyers with a 3-1 victory in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series Tuesday night.
Bryce Salvador and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored for New Jersey, which heads to the conference finals for the first time since winning its third Stanley Cup title in 2003.
"A lot of guys took a beating and turned the other cheek," said Brodeur, the four-time Vezina Trophy winner who turned 40 before Game 4. "We didn't want to get into a special-team match. No retaliation penalties in the whole series, and that was key."
The Devils will face the winner of the New York Rangers-Washington Capitals series. The Rangers hold a 3-2 series lead.
"Our team game is what is making us successful and not any individuals," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. "The guys are believing in what we're doing, and we have a lot of work left to do. It gets tougher from here."
After losing the series opener 4-3 in overtime, the sixth-seeded Devils dominated the Flyers. They continually frustrated Philadelphia with a stifling defense and held one of the NHL's top offenses to just 11 goals.
The Flyers excelled on the power play in Round 1 against Pittsburgh. They had no such luck against the Devils, and were 0 for 1 on their only man-advantage in the final game.
"We knew what we had to do. We had to stay out of the box," Clarkson said. "That team is dangerous on the power play. We had some guys get hit hard and we turned our back and went the other way."
It has been 37 years since the Flyers hoisted the Stanley Cup, a drought team chairman Ed Snider desperately hoped to end. But they have to wait until next spring to try again.
Max Talbot scored the only goal for Philadelphia, which played without Claude Giroux. The All-Star center was suspended one game for a hit on Dainius Zubrus in New Jersey's 4-2 win Sunday.
Giroux appeared on the ice -- after the game. Wearing a gray suit, he walked in the handshake line and then waved to the crowd.
"Claude is an important part of our makeup, so to take him out, you take out a big piece," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said.
For the fourth straight game, the Flyers scored first. But that was a bad omen because they lost every time. Talbot poked one past Brodeur during a scramble in front of the net 7:18 into the game.
The Devils answered just 2:09 later when Salvador flipped a shot from the left wing that deflected off the stick of Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds and over Bryzgalov's shoulder.
A few minutes later, Bryzgalov's mental lapse gave the Devils a lead. Bryzgalov took a dump pass from Kimmo Timonen, skated to the left of the crease and inexplicably tried to clear it out with Clarkson bearing in on him. The puck hit Clarkson's stick and bounced right back at Bryzgalov and through his legs.
"I honestly had no idea it went in until I heard the crowd yelling," Clarkson said. "Just to be on the forecheck when that went in is an unbelievable feeling."
The goal deflated the Flyers and seemed to suck the life out of the sellout crowd at Wells Fargo Center.
"That goal stung. It hurt," Laviolette said. "It was a tough goal."
A sloppy play by Brodeur nearly allowed the Flyers to tie it in the second period. Brodeur mishandled the puck behind the net, but Danny Briere's wraparound attempt hit the post.
