In this 4 part series, Bob Brumfield and Erwin van der Valk from patterns and practices shows you how to build a modular application using the recently released Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight - February 2009 (also known as Prism V2).
This webcast demonstrates how to communicate between the different modules.
What is Prism v2? Watch this video.
Bob Brumfield and Erwin van der Valk are both Software Development Engineers at Microsoft patterns & practices and have both worked on the Prism V2 project.
Oops, something didn't work.
While I'm thinking about it, here's some other topics for similar screencasts:
- Show modules and views being injected at runtime (i.e. click a toolbar button to load a new tab, etc.)
- Load common areas with toolbar buttons or menu items at runtime (to simulate the UIExtensionSites that are in CAB/SCSF)
- Dynamically loading modules
I'm sure I'll think of a few more as soon as I hit the "Add" comment button
Thanks Again!
Really great stuff !
Did you guys had a look at Framworks such as Nikhil Kothari (http://www.nikhilk.net/Entry.aspx?id=198) and Silverlight FX ?
With the RegionManager, how can you design a good pattern to create a Routing pattern for multipages ?
Keep on doing your videos, they are absolulty amazing
Hi there, im watching video by video in this series and WOW this is good stuff, prism really rocks!!!
However, im wondering if anyone have a good solution to the following problem / enhancement:
When the user clicks on the search button i want to change the cursor to waiting / time glass and when the search is actually finished, make sure that the cursor is changed back to the default "arrow". This problem i guess also could be extended to a bigger challenge, how to show to the user of progress of a operation, e.g a download progress with procentage indicator.
Considering best practices, to always indicate the end user of progress or in this case to prevent the user to click multiple times when a search is ongoing i guess it can not only be me wondering of these things, or what?
Dont we need a reference to the window to set the cursor in such a case?
Any solution or start of discussion appreciated!!!
How would you use Prism in a Silverlight application with multiple pages where there's the need to navigate between them?
Hi, great videos! Really help me to begin to understand the basic concepts of Prism.
Of course in Silverlight 3 we don't need to use that Title property of the SearchViewModel for binding the search command parameter with the TextBox text. We can now use element to element binding directly. Cool!
So , using the command parameter is not needing for this example? If I understand correctly, we can now bind the text of the TextBox to the property in the ViewModel and we just use the value of the property in the handler of the command. Is that right?
I also have a question for those more familiar with Prism than me:
How can I bind a command to the TextChanged event of a TextBox? (instead of the Click of a Button, which is illustrated in the video)
I really enjoyed the videos. This will replace some home-grown stuff I have written for Silverlight. I was interested in downloading the sample application from the video. Is this code available?
I'd like to see a webcast on localization. We're building an app that may be distributed accross various countries/languages, and I'm thinking a webcast on a localization module, and injecting that into all the pages would be awsome. As would security handling (role vs AD vs network credentials).
I concurr on the MEF with PRISM v2. There is MEFContrib that has a MEFBootstrapper but it does not work with the latest release of PRISM and MEF in VS2010. It seemed like they were on the right track, but got diverted. I want to pick and chose when I use PRISM and MEF. My two cents is that PRISM is to complex for an average developer, MEF is easier to use and has more utility around creating and traversing through catalogs. I just can't inject into a Region without PRISM.
very helpful tutorials to learn more about Prism. It'd be nice to see how to architect the database access, popular data to a xaml form, xaml form data validation, web services reusability etc... in the near future.
Nice presentation! It helps to clear out quite some concepts. I know I am not the first one, but not the last one niether, to ask that anywhere could I retrieve the source code associated with this presentation? Thanks a lot!

The Optimize Compatibility command in PowerPoint will help you to resolve playback issues.
Resolve issues so media will play without fail
To avoid playback issues when your PowerPoint presentation contains media, such as video or audio files, you can optimize the media files for compatibility. This makes it easy to share your presentation with others or take it with you to another location (perhaps to use a different computer to present it elsewhere) and your slideshow will play correctly
When you are ready to share your presentation, with the presentation open in PowerPoint, on the File tab, click Info.
If the media in your presentation was inserted in a format that could present compatibility issues when played on another computer, the Optimize Compatibility option will appear.
When the Optimize Compatibility appears, it provides a summarization for resolutions of potential playback issues. It also provides a list of the number of occurrences of media in the presentation. The following are common scenarios that can cause playback issues:
If you have linked videos, the Optimize for Compatibility summarization will report that you need to embed them. Click the View Links option to proceed. The dialog box that opens will allow you to embed the videos simply by clicking Break Link for each media item that you want to embed.
If you have videos that were inserted using an earlier version of PowerPoint, such as version 2007, you will need to upgrade your media file format in order to ensure that these files will play back. Upgrading will automatically update and embed these media items to the new format. Once you have upgraded, you should run the Optimize for Compatibility command.
To upgrade your media files from an earlier version to PowerPoint 2010 (and if the files were linked, they will be embedded), on the File tab, click Info, and then click Convert.
Having trouble playing or inserting media?
If you are having trouble playing or inserting media, it is likely that you do not have the proper codec installed. For example, someone could send you a PowerPoint presentation with media already inserted, and that media is based on a codec that you do not have installed. The best solution is for the author to run Optimize Compatibilitybefore sending you the file. Try one of the following to help resolve any lingering issues:
One solution is to download a third-party media decoder and encoder filter, such as ffdshow, QuickTime, or DivX, which will allow you to decode and encode a variety of formats.
If you decide to deliver the presentation that you created on a PC, on an Apple Macintosh, the file formats, .wmv and .wma are not native to a Macintosh computer. In this case you will need an Internet connection so that you can download a QuickTime component (for the Mac operating system) that supports Windows Media Video, such as Flip4Mac, to play these your media files.

ORANGE — All year long, Gov. Chris Christie has been greeted by adoring crowds on the campaign trail.
Not so today.
As the Republican governor campaigned on Main Street in Orange, a crowd of protesters trailed him, bearing signs that read "Christie Stay Out of Orange!" and jeering loudly when his supporters chanted "Four more years!"
Dozens of people from Working Families Alliance, affiliated with the public sector union Communications Workers of America, arrived via bus to heckle Christie over his cuts to public education, veto of a bill to tie minimum wage increases to inflation, opposition to abortion rights and his decision to call a costly special election for U.S. Senate.
"We're here to let people know what he's done to residents of the state of New Jersey. He's cut school funding by over one billion ... and then uses these kids as props to be here to say he's thinking about them," said Lionel Leach, president of CWA Local 1039. Leach vowed the group would be a constant presence at Christie campaign events until Election Day.
The protesters mixed with dozens more Christie supporters who held campaign signs. Tensions flared among the opposing groups, but Christie ignored his critics. Instead he posed for photos with people on the street and ducked into several businesses to dole out hugs and photos with Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo, a Democrat, by his side.
When Christie arrived on Main Street he climbed the steps of the now closed Orange Library. The crowd briefly prevented him from descending the steps until several Orange police officers cleared a path.
"We got a lot of things we still have to do, that's why I want another four years," Christie said later in a pizza shop with school children standing around him. "We got to work on that library, get it fixed and reopened. We got to work on the train station and make sure that project gets done. We need the opportunities for the folks here in Orange that people have all over the state of New Jersey."
The Republican governor promised to return to Orange, where his campaign said he received just 5.5 percent of the vote in 2009. Christie also accepted the endorsement of Mayor Dwayne Warren and was trailed by the Rev. Ronald B. Christian of Christian Love Baptist Church in Irvington, who is also the chaplain for the Orange police department.
The event was one of several Christie has held in urban areas in hopes of fulfilling his stated goal of defeating Democratic challenger Barbara Buono by historic margins.
Protesters continually booed Christie and shouted questions such as, "Why did you veto minimum wage?" A supporter yelled, "We love Governor Christie!" and was answered with "No we don't!" from someone else. Later Christie kneeled down to talk to a little boy. A woman told him, "You are really special and lucky. You took a picture with the governor of New Jersey," to which an exasperated man on the street replied, "Taking a picture — he should be listening to your problems and solving 'em."
About an hour later, the Twitter account for Christie's campaign announced: "Had a great time in downtown Orange today. Thank you all for your support."
The episode was a stark contrast to the governor's two other public events of the day. Again accompanied by DiVincenzo, Christie accepted kisses on the cheek and pleas to run for president from some of the thousands of seniors who packed the Richard J. Codey Arena in West Orange for the annual Essex County Senior Wellness Day. He also spoke at a ceremony naming the NJ Transit station in Union Township after the late U.S. Rep. Bob Franks.
The governor's campaign today announced a $1.5 million purchase for TV ads. Today Christie aired another spot criticizing Buono for her record on taxes and voting for a legislative pay raise in 2000. Wednesday the governor begins airing an ad touting his support for mandatory drug treatment of nonviolent offenders.
So far in the general election, Christie has spent more than $3 million on TV commercials while Buono has yet to raise enough cash to promote herself on television.
• Christie says he asked late Congressman Bob Franks to be running mate in 2009

Summit to premiere 'Eclipse' at invitation-only screening
The Los Angeles Film Festival has tapped Focus' drama "The Kids Are All Right" as its opening night film for June 17 and the world premiere of Universal's animated comedy "Despicable Me" as its closing night selection on June 27.
The festival — which announced its official selections Tuesday — will also screen the invitation-only world premiere of Summit's "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" on June 24. The festival, produced by the Film Independent, will be centered at the downtown L.A. Live complex, following several years of being based in Westwood.
The lineup will include over than 200 films from more than 40 countries, culled from more than 4,700 submissions. Former Newsweek film critic David Ansen, who became artistic director of the festival last fall, is overseeing the event.
"We've received tremendous support from the community for our move to downtown and can't wait to present this rich, diverse program to audiences," said Los Angeles Film Festival Director Rebecca Yeldham. "We've created a series of highly entertaining, memorable experiences for our filmmakers and audiences."
Other notable pics in the lineup at Sony Pictures Classics' "Animal Kingdom," Fox Searchlight's "Cyrus," the world premiere of "Mahler on the Couch," the North American premiere of "Revolución," and Paramount Vantage's "Waiting for Superman," directed by Davis Guggenheim.
Since L.A. Live opened in 2009, the complex has managed to convince several studios to hold premieres downtown though traffic worries have kept most preems in Hollywood and Westwood. However, Film Independent held this year's Spirit Awards atop the Nokia Theater in March.
"We're hoping that in five years, we will be drawing 200,000," Yeldham said. "We think that with the hotel space that's available, we can make this into a destination festival."
Yedham also said that the film community's responded well to the appointment of Ansen and noted that the number of premieres at the fest has more than doubled to 29 this year.
"We've been able to get the best from Berlin and Sundance," Ansen said. "The idea has been to go after what's great."

SuperEarth Found Nearby
Planet found in nearest star system to Earth:
ESO's HARPS instrument finds Earth-mass exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri B
This artist's impression shows the planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri B, a member of the triple star system that is the closest to Earth. Alpha Centauri B is the most brilliant object in the sky and the other dazzling object is Alpha Centauri A. Our own sun is visible to the upper right. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada
European astronomers have discovered a planet with about the mass of the Earth orbiting a star in the Alpha Centauri system — the nearest to Earth. It is also the lightest exoplanet ever discovered around a star like the Sun. The planet was detected using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6-meter telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. The results will appear online in the journal Nature on 17 October 2012.
Alpha Centauri is one of the brightest stars in the southern skies and is the nearest stellar system to our solar system — only 4.3 light-years away. It is actually a triple star — a system consisting of two stars similar to the Sun orbiting close to each other, designated Alpha Centauri A and B, and a more distant and faint red component known as Proxima Centauri [1]. Since the nineteenth century astronomers have speculated about planets orbiting these bodies, the closest possible abodes for life beyond the Solar System, but searches of increasing precision had revealed nothing. Until now.
"Our observations extended over more than four years using the HARPS instrument and have revealed a tiny, but real, signal from a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B every 3.2 days," says Xavier Dumusque (Geneva Observatory, Switzerland, and Centro de Astrofisica da Universidade do Porto, Portugal), lead author of the paper. "It's an extraordinary discovery and it has pushed our technique to the limit!"
This wide-field view of the sky around the bright star Alpha Centauri was created from photographic images forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The star appears so big just because of the scattering of light by the telescope's optics as well as in the photographic emulsion. Credit: ESO/Digitized Sky Survey 2, Acknowledgement: Davide De Martin
The European team detected the planet by picking up the tiny wobbles in the motion of the star Alpha Centauri B created by the gravitational pull of the orbiting planet [2]. The effect is minute — it causes the star to move back and forth by no more than 51 centimeters per second (1.8 km/hour), about the speed of a baby crawling. This is the highest precision ever achieved using this method.
Alpha Centauri B is very similar to the Sun but slightly smaller and less bright. The newly discovered planet, with a mass of a little more than that of the Earth [3], is orbiting about six million kilometers away from the star, much closer than Mercury is to the Sun in the Solar System. The orbit of the other bright component of the double star, Alpha Centauri A, keeps it hundreds of times further away, but it would still be a very brilliant object in the planet's skies.
The first exoplanet around a Sun-like star was found by the same team back in 1995 and since then there have been more than 800 confirmed discoveries, but most are much bigger than the Earth, and many are as big as Jupiter [4]. The challenge astronomers now face is to detect and characterize a planet of mass comparable to the Earth that is orbiting in the habitable zone [5] around another star. The first step has now been taken [6].
"This is the first planet with a mass similar to Earth ever found around a star like the Sun. Its orbit is very close to its star and it must be much too hot for life as we know it," adds Stephane Udry (Geneva Observatory), a co-author of the paper and member of the team, "but it may well be just one planet in a system of several. Our other HARPS results, and new findings from Kepler, both show clearly that the majority of low-mass planets are found in such systems."
"This result represents a major step towards the detection of a twin Earth in the immediate vicinity of the Sun. We live in exciting times!" concludes Xavier Dumusque.

Saving the world, one snarky status update at a time.
AmericasWhiteBoy hasn't added any friends yet.

Follow the Lions with us, too!
Haha, I know a few of those.
I've been a Colts fan for life. It was rough before Manning, but I can't complain now.
21 February 2013 - 01:03 AM
Yeah, I grew up in Indiana, and since there was no team nearby and the Blackhawks mostly sucked during the "Roenick/Belfour Era" when I was young, so everyone was Red Wings fans.
I loved hockey, but I didn't really have a team because local TV didn't carry many games. I mostly just saw highlights on Sportscenter and played the hell out of NHL'95 & '96 on Sega Genesis. From that, I kind of had favorite players but not teams (Adam Oates, Pavel Bure, Alexander Mogilny, Cam Neely, Pat LaFontaine, etc.)
I moved to Columbus about six years ago during the NHL Lockout. I went to a few games, met some players and became the team I follow.
I'm also a Cubs fan, so it kind of fits into the whole "loser" thing I've gotten used to.
20 February 2013 - 07:46 PM
Yeah, it's just me, Bigfoot and the Lochness Monster.
20 February 2013 - 05:59 PM
I'm just happy that when Detroit plays Columbus at Nationwide it isn't 95% Red Wings fans. I think we've gotten it down to like 80%, haha
Oh well, at least I have a good humor about it.
20 February 2013 - 05:44 PM
Haha, thanks.
I'm a Blue Jackets fan, but I'm a hockey fan first.
Feel free to make fun of the Blue Jackets...I'm used to it, haha.

Property owners in Jefferson Parish today reported flood damage at 34 addresses, mostly along the Jefferson Highway corridor, after Sunday's intense rain.
Gauges from Old Jefferson to Harahan recorded rainfall around the six-inch mark during storms that began early Sunday and lasted almost until noon. On Monday, parish officials asked residents and businesses to call in with their damage reports.
"The flooding is in direct correlation to where the rain falls," said Deano Bonano, Jefferson Parish's emergency response chief.
He said the storm lingered over Old Jefferson, Elmwood, Harahan and River Ridge, and all but two of the 34 calls the parish received Monday came from those areas. One call came from Terrytown and one came from Westwego.
Bonano said the parish's drainage pumps worked well, but with their capacity of one inch in the first hour and a half inch every hour after that, they couldn't prevent water from pooling.
The damage was too light to trigger federal disaster assistance, Bonano said. But he said the parish gathers structure damage reports after every significant rain so it can study areas that are prone to flooding.

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- As the manager of the Exceptional Family Member Program at Army Community Service, Natalie Taylor plays an important role in the lives of the military families she serves.
"My job is to be an advocate for our military families who have special needs children or spouses who have special medical needs," she said. "I help them find resources and support groups, enroll them through the early intervention program, or help with any special need services through the school system."
That's why Taylor periodically offers free classes and informational sessions with the up-to-date developments regarding special needs legislation and policy. One such example is the AL Parent Presentation titled "IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) and Skills for Effective Parent Advocacy," scheduled Feb. 28 from 9 a.m. to noon at the ACS building on Redeye Road. This class is designed to increase parents' knowledge of the special education process, including special education laws, and improve parents' advocacy skills and the educational outcomes for their children.
"This workshop is for parents who feel like their child might fall into the special education process, whether they have ADHD or autism or a learning disability. It's also for families that already have children enrolled in special education classes," Taylor said.
"It will teach parents how to advocate for their children in the school system and how to get them the services they need from pre-K through college. To do that, parents have to know their children's rights and what to request in terms of additional support, whether it's a tutor in the class, an accommodation for reading and writing, or giving more time during a test."
It will also cover the recent legislation change with regard to Tricare coverage of retired military parents, and the upcoming launch of a one-year pilot program expanding applied behavioral approach care to all families, retired or active.
But Taylor doesn't just work with the parents of young children. She has recently expanded her purview to include elderly care, an issue that she said impacts many military families on the Arsenal.
"I started getting calls from other people, military families, who care for their parents. It made me think that maybe I should do something to help these people and let them know about assisted living or nursing," she said. "So while my primary focus was kids with special needs, this kind of highlighted the need for elder care."
To that end, she partnered with several local elder care organizations, including TARCOG's Area Agency on Aging, to offer classes on the topic. And on Jan. 29, she will enlist the help of the Alzheimer's Association for a presentation "Basics of Alzheimer's." The presentation will be given by Brandi Medina, the association's director of programs and education, and held from noon to 1 p.m. at ACS.
"We've had a lot of people call about the presentation already, because they're experiencing Alzheimer's in their family," Taylor said. "It will offer information on detection, cause and risk factors, stages of the disease, treatment and more."
Editor's note: Register by Feb. 19 for the AL Parent Presentation, scheduled Feb. 28, by calling 334-567-2252 or 866-532-7660. Leave your name and telephone number, and mention "Redstone Arsenal." To register for the Alzheimer's class, slated Jan. 29, call 800-272-3900.

As the economy recovers and banks are taken off life support, in the good way, financial institutions are becoming more aggressive with their promotional offers. The days of toasters and coffee mugs are long gone. The big banks are offering a Benjamin [3] for new accounts. Sometimes two, if you're happy jumping through their hoops.
What does the prototypical bank promotion look like? The bank wants to get new accounts and it wants those new accounts to stick. The typical bank promotion will require a minimum balance, a scheduled direct deposit each month, and that you keep the account open for at least a hundred days. A few banks will deviate from this prototype a little, perhaps adding in a bill payment or two or debit card activity, but they all follow this pattern.
Is it worth trying to sign up for a bunch of these?
What To Watch For
There are two things you need to watch for whenever you consider a bank promotion:
- Fees: Some banks will require a low minimum balance but fail to tell you that there's a fee unless you have a higher balance. Getting $100 is nice but not if you're stuck paying $4.95 in a fee each month.
- Onerus Requirements: The prototype may seem simple but watch for any strange requirements that might be used against you when it's time to collect the promotional money. I've seen some promotions require you to register for online banking and log in once a month. Others require paperless statements and may disqualify you if you failed to sign up before your first statement. Watch for these gotchas.
Is It Worth It?
The promotional money, or the retail value of the promotion item, will be reported on a 1099-INT [4] and you'll have to pay income taxes on it. If you're in the 25% tax bracket [5], a $100 bonus is really worth $75 after taxes.
There's also the hassle of setting up direct deposits and bill payment accounts. You probably don't have a bunch of direct deposits laying around to use and with the time requirement, like keeping the direct deposit active for 180 days, you won't be able to take advantage of many of these too often.
I personally believe a bonus is great when you're already looking at opening an account somewhere, such as after a move. It's hard to "make money" off bank promotions with any regularity.

Considered the most prominent gay politician in the United States, Barney Frank had served in Congress as a Democratic Representative in Massachusetts since 1981 until his recent retirement in late 2011. Known for his wit, staffers on Capitol Hill named him the "brainiest," "funniest," and "most eloquent" member of the House. Always vocal about his sexual orientation and his stance on civil rights issues, he once said he was unable to complete his review detailing President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky because it was "too much reading about heterosexual sex."
In the below video, Frank discusses his long time boyfriend and soon to be husband, Jim Ready. Ready is a welder and 30 years Frank's junior, and crafted the black wedding ring the ex-congressman is wearing. Frank also discusses the current presidential race and acknowledges in the video just how far gay rights have come since he began in politics. "When I started out, I was afraid to acknowledge being gay - and now Jim and I can get married. It's generational."

Mississippi Fred McDowell
proclaimed on one of his last albums, "I do not play no rock & roll," it was less a boast by an aging musician swept aside by the big beat than a mere statement of fact. As a stylist and purveyor of the original Delta blues, he was superb, equal parts
Charley Patton
Son House
coming to the fore through his roughed-up vocals and slashing bottleneck style of guitar playing.
he was the real deal, and while others were diluting and updating their sound to keep pace with the changing times and audiences,
Mississippi Fred
stood out from the rest of the pack simply by not changing his style one iota. Though he scorned the amplified rock sound with a passion matched by few country bluesmen, he certainly had no qualms about passing any of his musical secrets along to his young, white acolytes, prompting several of them -- including a young
Bonnie Raitt
-- to develop slide guitar techniques of their own. Although generally lumped in with other blues "rediscoveries" from the '60s, the most amazing thing about him was that this rich repository of Delta blues had never recorded in the '20s or early '30s, didn't get "discovered" until 1959, and didn't become a full-time professional musician until the mid-'60s.
He was born in 1904 in Rossville, TN, and was playing the guitar by the age of 14 with a slide hollowed out of a steer bone. His parents died when
was a youngster and the wandering life of a traveling musician soon took hold. The 1920s saw him playing for tips on the street around Memphis, TN, the hoboing life eventually setting him down in Como, MS, where he lived the rest of his life. There
split his time between farming and keeping up with his music by playing weekends for various fish fries, picnics, and house parties in the immediate area. This pattern stayed largely unchanged for the next 30 years until he was discovered in 1959 by folklorist
Alan Lomax
was the first to record this semi-professional bluesman, the results of which were released as part of an American folk music series on the Atlantic label.
, for his part, was happy to have some sounds on records, but continued on with his farming and playing for tips outside of Stuckey's candy store in Como for spare change. It wasn't until
Chris Strachwitz
-- folk-blues enthusiast and owner of the fledgling Arhoolie label -- came searching for
to record him that the bluesman's fortunes began to change dramatically.
Two albums, Fred McDowell, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, were released on Arhoolie in the mid-'60s, and the shock waves were felt throughout the folk-blues community. Here was a bluesman with a repertoire of uncommon depth, putting it over with great emotional force, and to top it all off, he had seemingly slipped through the cracks of late-'20s/early-'30s field recordings. No scratchy, highly prized 78s on Paramount or Vocalion to use as a yardstick to measure his current worth, no romantic stories about him disappearing into the Delta for decades at a time to become a professional gambler or a preacher. No,
Mississippi Fred McDowell
had been in his adopted home state, farming and playing all along, and the world coming to his doorstep seemed to ruffle him no more than the little boy down the street delivering the local newspaper.
The success of the Arhoolie recordings suddenly found
very much in demand on the folk and festival circuit, where his quiet, good-natured performances left many a fan utterly spellbound. Working everything from the Newport Folk Festival to coffeehouse dates to becoming a member of the American Folk Blues Festival in Europe,
suddenly had more listings in his résumé in a couple of years than he had in the previous three decades combined. He was also well documented on film, with appearances in The Blues Maker (1968), his own documentary Fred McDowell (1969), and Roots of American Music: Country and Urban Music (1970) among them. By the end of the decade, he was signed to do a one-off album for Capitol Records (the aforementioned
I Do Not Play No Rock 'N' Roll
) and his tunes were being mainstreamed into the blues-rock firmament by artists like
Bonnie Raitt
(who recorded several of his tunes, including notable versions of "Write Me a Few Lines" and "Kokomo") and
the Rolling Stones
, who included a very authentic version of his classic "You Got to Move" on their
Sticky Fingers
album. Unfortunately, this career largess didn't last much longer, as
was diagnosed with cancer while performing dates into 1971. His playing days suddenly behind him, he lingered for a few months into July 1972, finally succumbing to the disease at age 68. And right to the end, the man remained true to his word; he
play any rock & roll, just the straight, natural blues.

Though originally rumored to stretch its lifespan another two years until 2017, the early death for the Defender is fundamentally tied to the changing environmentally friendly market where the large SUV is unable to fit into its tight emission standards. However, according to a spokesperson from Jaguar Land Rover, a replacement model for the line will be joining Land Rover's ranks but as to which it'll be, only time will tell.

Back to School, Back to Packing Lunchesccampion
And so it begins…Yesterday was my daughter's first day of first grade, and amongst all of the excitement of purchasing supplies (8 jumbo glue sticks? What could they possibly be doing with that much paste?), picking out an outifit (we went with rainbow embroidered jeans from Old Navy), and cleaning out the backpack (was that half-eaten fruit leather in there since June?) was the realization that I was back to packing lunch, every morning, for the next 300 or so days…
Lucky for me, my mom lives with us, and shoulders a lot of the lunch-packing duty—thanks grandma!
And I also gave in long ago to Belle's repeated request to buy school lunch on Fridays, because Friday is pizza day, so that shortens the work to four days a week.
But that still leaves lots of lunches to make!
I find I always put a lot of pressure on myself to create a midday meal that is perfect: easy to eat, delicious, appealing to a 6-year old, healthful, not-boring…How can a little lunch do so many things?
Here are 5 easy things I do to make it a bit easier on myself:
1. I know it's trendy but I really do like bento boxes for packing a lunch,. The set dimensions allow just the right proportions for an elementary-school appetite (depending on your kid, of course, mine only has 20 minutes for lunch and spends much of the time gabbing instead of eating) so I don't overpack and see food go to waste; everything stays orderly (no jelly on the carrot sticks and pita chips pulverized in the bottom of a Ziploc); and the cute box lends an element of a little gift being opened. Despite what you may have seen, using a bento doesn't mean you have to get all crafty. I personally don't have the time or ability to carve rice balls into Pokemon characters or turn radishes into origami creatures. I just get the stuff to fit in there and then close it up.
2. Even if Belle is getting sandwiches most of the time, I make sure to switch up the bread and fillings frequently: whole wheat potato roll, pita pocket, crusty baguette; smoked turkey and swiss; hummus and pickles; baked ham and Boursin. And there is no better sandwich-filler then last night's homemade chicken tenders.
3. I always include a cookie. Life needs a cookie.
4. Fruit is more likely to get eaten if it's peeled, cubed, or sliced (The fruit in the pic above are slices of peeled plums. Yes, I peeled plums…).
5. Sneak in a note. Even if it's a doodle on a napkin, or a "I heart you" on a Stickie…who doesn't want a reminder in the middle of the day that they're loved? Now eat your carrots.

Got a few question about those Savox SC-1267SG. How's the centering on them. Do you think they'll be good for the 78" MXS when it comes out? And at 15% off I'm thinking of getting them now. What do you think the count needed is. Not positive on savox yet. But the price sounds mighty good. I was looking at these. The "Ultra Torque" HS-7940TH
Oh and can you tell what they mean by unique steel gears?
I'm going to have to let Tom answer this when he has a few flights under his belt with the new 78. The red one that he flew at Deland (in the video) was Frankjp's 78, converted from a 30cc engine, and the bulkier gas version with the electric setup is 11 oz heavier than Tom's e-version. Frank also has JR HV servos in his. The SC-1267SG are in the new plane, five of them, but there are only two full flights on the plane so far, getting the mixing and and trim dialed in. We're also testing the Xoar PJN and the Mejzlik 'e' 22x10's. We'll probably be out a lot while Tom's on break from school until January 7th.
We used this 9100 setup on two other planes with no issues. The analog JR servos are rated to 320 oz./in of torque on 6v so I'm going to guess we were guaranteeing that on a minimum 6.6v.
I used a single unregulated 2S 1100mAh A123 on slow 133 oz./in analog Hitec's several years ago on an 8 pound 3D plane with a Saito 120 swinging a 16x6 glow prop and huge control surfaces, and the same setup when I converted it to electric with a 110 motor swinging an 18x8 woodie on 8S.
The EF 78 now has a 2S 2100mAh Lipo on HV servos and this is the first time we are using LiPo's in this configuration. More flights are needed for an independent verdict on unregulated 7.4v power to digital servos.
Considering how we like to test the limits, we may still experiment with a 3S Lipo (11.1v) or A123 (9.9v) on a regulator, like a BEC Pro, and try a little higher voltage setting once Tom gets the feel for the current 2S unregulated LiPo setup -- like 8.4v, which means the regulator would guarantee this voltage level regardless of battery sag or capacity. This would be up to him since he can tell if he is getting the most from the servos a lot sooner that I would.
He enjoys a certain level of performance, and I enjoy trying to give it to him. Frankjp is very experienced as well and we typically kick options back and forth. He has some great ideas too and this has become a joint effort, which has made it a lot of fun. I don't think that either of us had stock engines in our cars right through our 20's, so why should we settle now?
I also run a CC 10 amp and a BEC pro with HV servos... With the 10 amp I could adjust in 0.1V increments and run 8.3V to the 7245... Super fast and strong. I have we'll over 100 flights with absolutely no issues.
With the Pro I run the 7054SH at 8.0V because they are only on 0.5V increments and the next step up is over spec. They are also super strong and fast. 25 flights so far on that setup and working great. Hopefully with the next firmware update they will give us finer adjustment with the Pro.
well i'm trying to get my list around and i think i've got my power system figured out. if ya'll would let me know if i'm making some mistakes, or if this sounds about right.
48" edge 540
motorfly dm2820-685 motor
ztw b-series 85a esc
xoar 14x7e prop
castle creations 10a bec
savox 255 servo's all around.
haiyin 2650MaH 4s batteires
so how does this setup sound to ya'll? i would like to run a little bigger battery for some extended flight times, but not sure how the weight would affect everythiing.
Looks like a pretty kick butt system... I run the 2650s which is about perfect. I've 3Ded with 3300s but not ideal. Others like 2200s.
According to the spec the 85 is only 2g more the 65 amp and gives you more options in the future. Not needed, but if speced weight is right why not. BEC is 5 amp should be enough, but they are digital servos which burn more power, so the external is a lightweight piece of mind.
thanks guys. i was thinking about getting a bigger esc than i need right now so that later on i might be able to use it in a 60" when/if i step up.
i was wondering about the external bec. i have a hard time trusting the internal bec's on higher power servos and thought it might be cheap insurance. or piece of mind,,,, either way!!
i've been talking with aeroplayin and dead for a bit about this stuff. they have helped me alot. i've learned so much from them in a short time. thought i knew a little, found out what i knew was mostly wrong!! i'm getting it now tho.
not dead set on the esc. i would like the castle ice esc, but can get an eflite 80 amp alot cheaper. i will be doing mostly sport flying to start with as this will be my first 3d style plane. my plans are to slowly work my way into doing 3d stuff, but i don't want to rush it. right now it's sim time helping me get ready. my eflite apprentice and my parkzone albatros are fun, but i'm ready for something more!
the yak is my favorite plane, so i will be getting one of those as soon as EF releases them. would like a 60" version but will take what i can get.
There is nothing wrong with the internal BEC on many of the available ESC. The Airboss 85 seems to be bullet proof with 6 volts to power the servos. But if you are going to use HV servos then you need a CC 10 BEC or a separate 2 cell, 450 Mah lipo to power the servos.
I don't know the E-flite esc. Why not stick with the ZTW u listed? Pretty sure that AP has proven that to be rock solid and the price is right.

1990 Nissan Sentra Coupe XE 2dr Coupe
This car is phenomenal on gas mileage. My husband (to be, at the time) bought this car before I met him. We've now been married 15 years. A few years back, we thought it might be time to get him a new car, so we did, and I inherited this as I was driving a pickup at the time. Well, that was 4 years ago, and I'm still driving this little car. It looks terrible - the paint's starting to fade, the door has a big gash in it that's starting to rust, the interior ceiling cloth has disintegrated and is coming down in sheets, but I cannot bring myself to get a new car. This car drives great. It gets incredible gas mileage. I fill it up ONCE A MONTH. I have a 12 mile commute to work.
It runs beautifully, it's fun to drive and you cannot beat the gas mileage, it's incredible, it just goes forever. It has 237,000 miles on it right now and I keep looking at new cars every few months but then, I think, why get a new one? This one has no intention of dying and the gas mileage is !!!!
Back seat is small, paint fading and interior ceiling cloth has disintegrated. The car is 20 years old, though.

History and Program Overview
Michael Tubbs and Ty-Licia Hooker knew they had to do something to reach out to underserved youth in Stockton after an impetuous amount of violence hit the city in May 2010. After discussing the difficult, dangerous and often hopeless terrain for economically disadvantaged minority high school students in Stockton, coupled with the inaction of city leaders the Summer Success and Leadership Academy (SSLA) was created. The Summer Success and Leadership Academy was born out of the belief that, if given the right resources and opportunities, "at-risk" youth can actively be the change we all seek in our community.
SSLA consists of 50 participants that represent the City of Stockton. To apply, students must be entering 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grade (unfortunately, graduating seniors are not eligible to apply.) This is a free, residential program hosted on the University of the Pacific's campus, where participants will be provided mentors who are college-students, workshops about academic success, social justice, leadership and the college admissions process. Many of the workshops used different media forms to discuss issues all across urban America. The program also has a Distinguished Speaker series where many community members and leaders spoke with the participants.
The cornerstone of the Summer Success and Leadership Academy is the creation of the "Community Action Plan" by students upon their completion in the program. This plan allows them to put all the lessons they have learned in the academy into action, and empowers them to be the solution to many of the issues that plague their community. After much scholarly research and analyzing issues, the 2011 Participants, formed six community action plans. These actions plans include, a bullying prevention campaign, saving music programs, a literacy campaign, gang prevention, homeless youth and an after school tutoring service for elementary students.

My Favorite Costco Buysaggieskitchen
I'm a fan of Costco for so many reasons. The prices are great, the meat, dairy and produce are fresh and there are items there that you just can't get anywhere else for the same value. My trips to Costco aren't as frequent as they could be due to its location from my house…and that's probably a good thing considering I spend a fortune everytime I'm there…for all things I need of course! Over the years I've gotten attached to a few products that Costco sells and my trips to Costco pretty much revolve around when I run out of those items.
Here's a list of my regular and favorite buys at Costco:
Dog Food – I love the Kirkland brand, not just because of the price but because the first ingredient is usually chicken or beef, then a vegetable.
Pure Maple Syrup – you just can't beat the price and size if you like pure maple syrup
Quaker Old Fashioned Oats – yes it's a big box, but if you like oats like my family does you'll get through it.
Wine – such a great selection of wines, and again, great price.
Cheese – the Parmesan Reggiano is a great price at Costco, I savor it and grate it on my pastas and soups for extra special flavor. I also like to purchase fresh mozzarella, feta and goat cheese as well.
Spices – whole peppercorns, saigon cinnamon, chili powder…these are the spices I use the most and go through them enough to justify buying a larger size.
Organic Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
Nuts – I always stock up on Kirkland brand raw almonds, pecans and walnuts. Store them in the freezer to maintain freshness.
Snacks – I love the big barrels of Snyders Pretzels and Organic Vanilla Animal Crackers
Organic Meats
Frozen Foods – Morningstar Black Bean Burgers, Simmons Chicken Tenderloins and Frozen Shrimp all come in handy for quick meals.
Breads – Sandwich Thins and Flat Outs freeze very well and are great to have on hand.
Produce – I never leave Costco without a bag of red bell peppers, berries, cucumbers or mandarin oranges.
And let's not forget to mention the Books and Electronics (I purchased a treadmill and my Canon Rebel at Costco).
So now tell me…what are your favorite buys at Costco?
Do you know what you're buying? Avoid these 7 Food Imposters!

McALISTERVILLE - A class science project meant to demonstrate the importance of recycling will be going on the auction block Oct. 6.
A patchwork quilt made with blue jeans was created by three Juniata Mennonite School seniors in Margaret Varner's environmental science class.
Varner notes the small class of three young ladies made it possible to do a project that was a bit out of the ordinary.

Juniata Mennonite School students Norma Montesino, Rachel Allen and Lydia Sheaffer stand with the quilt they created for their environmental science class.
"I wanted them to do a project that was more than just slapping something on a poster board and say 'This is about recycling,'" she said.
The teacher contacted Abundant Blessings hrift shop in Mifflintown and asked for pairs of jeans that were not able to be sold on the racks due to stains and tears.
Instead of the materials going into a trash bin, the fabric will be used to keep someone warm at night.
Two hundred patches were cut by seniors Lydia Sheaffer, Rachel Allen and Norma Montesino.
As many as 16 patches could have been cut from an average pair of blue jeans.
The quilt is 70 by 90 inches in size and should fit a single size bed, Varner said.
The three students have taken their free time to cut and knot the patches.
"It's been so much fun," said Montesino, "Others around the school see us on the floor in the cafeteria laying out patches and working on it. They're like 'We want to do that!'"
None of the girls have had experience making patchwork quilts. Varner taught them the process step by step.
Allen said she has made fringed blankets with purchased material but has never worked with clothing recycled into patches.
"This is just neat because people don't really make something like this."
Varner said she hopes the girls will use this new skill in the future and learn not waste old materials.
Word has spread throughout the school that Varner is using creative methods to recycle.
"I have people coming to me all of the time saying, 'You should do this or that,'" Varner said, noting one idea that may be put to use involves old T-shirts. "Right now we're just focusing on this."
The quilt will be auctioned during the second day of the school sale which takes place Oct. 5 and 6 at McAlisterville Park and fire hall. Quilts of all varieties, including the recycled denim quilt, will be auctioned at 2 p.m. Saturday in the fire hall.
Material remains from the blue jeans donated by Abundant Blessings. As a thank-you to the store, the students are going to begin working on other denim items that can be sold at the ministry-based thrift shop.
"We're calling it 'Denim For Dog Beds, Dorm Rooms and Your Den,'" Varner said, which will consist of various sizes of denim pillows made to function in one of the spaces mentioned.
The girls are also working on their own individual denim patchwork quilts. Each girl has chosen her own background material and is still deciding whether to use the blankets as gifts or keep them for themselves.
"I just love it. I kind of want to keep it," Montesino said with a smile.
More information on the school sale is available at www.jmsonline.org.

A Dallas ISD teacher who had posed on Playboy's website is getting attention from some students and parents about her nude photos and videos online.
Cristy Nicole Deweese - who was "Coed of the Month" in February 2011 - is a first year teacher at Rosie M. Collins Sorrells School of Education and Social Services at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center. The magnet high school serves students in grades nine through 12.
Deweese is 21, teaches Spanish and goes by Cristy Nicole in her Playboy spread and on YouTube videos of a Playboy photo shoot.
The district is aware of the concern, said DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander. "This is a personnel matter and it will not be discussed."
Debbie Ratcliffe, a Texas Education Agency spokeswoman, called it "a murky situation."
"It wasn't an illegal activity, but it raises the question about whether that action violated the Educators' Code of Ethics."
Deweese has not yet returned calls for comment.
Several people, calling themselves Deweese's students, have posted comments on Youtube videos where the teacher gives an interview and poses in lingerie for a photo shoot. "That's my Spanish teacher!!!" read one comment.
On Twitter, students talked about Deweese posing for Playboy. Some defended her and said that people should leave her alone.
A parent, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of her child facing retaliation, is upset that Deweese had not been removed from the not been removed from the school. She said students used their cellphones while on campus to view the video and photos.
"Are her male 16 and 17 years old students looking at her without picturing her nude?" the parent said. "And for the female students, is this someone they can respect as an educator, someone that they can look up to?"

As soon as the news spread that a U.S. Navy SEAL team shot and killed Osama bin Laden, Americans have become obsessed with these elite warriors.
People have been wanting know about who these men are, how they train, and even where they hang out in their off hours.
Just one day after the world learned a Navy SEAL team killed bin Laden, the Walt Disney Company filed the necessary paperwork to trademark the name "SEAL Team 6."
The application states Disney intends to use the name for a range of products, like toys and games.
The sale of pins, buttons, books, patches, and just about everything bearing the name of the Navy SEALs has skyrocketed.
America is fascinated with everything SEAL.
The SEAL team sent to get bin Laden trains in Virginia Beach, Va. The city is crawling with Navy SEAL and bin Laden merchandise, including one shirt that reads, "We Got Him."
For those looking for more than t-shirts and bumper stickers, there's also something a bit more adventurous: the extreme SEAL experience in Chesapeake, Va.
The men training here aren't real SEALs -- they are just regular guys looking for adventure and a challenge.
Former U.S. Navy SEAL Senior Chief Don Shipley runs the operation. His phone has been ringing off the hook since bin Laden's death.
His website had so many visitors, it couldn't handle them all and shut down.
To run the operation, Shipley hired other former SEALs to help him - men who have been on combat missions all over the world and know what it takes to be part of one of American's most elite teams.
"The guys that come down here are that cut above, and that becomes the pleasure of running this," Shipley said. "They are also looking to get that eye of the tiger back they had in their college football days, and now they are stuck in an office cubicle somewhere and they've lost it."
While most people would rather spend their vacation on the beach basking in the sun, these weekend warriors head to the SEAL challenge for a taste what real training is like.
"This is fun, but it pushes you," said Mark Parris, a native New Yorker. Back home, Parris is an electrician.
"I'm 51, so it gets me to that line and then I have to push myself past it It makes life a little exciting," he said. "I'm going pretty good for an old man."
John Speaker is the technology director for a cable television company in Bullard, Texas. He came looking for a challenge and to get pushed to the limit.
"I don't want to wake up at 80 years old and say I wish I would have," he explained. "During it, it stinks. It's tough. But the reward afterward is what everyone's pushing for."
"Guys come here for different reasons, so one of the first things we teach them is about reaching deep inside themselves," Shipley said. "Nobody travels all this way down here to fail this course and I know that."
The men going through the mock SEAL training will likely never gear up for a real combat mission. But after going through the week-long extreme course -- they have a new respect and admiration for the real U.S. Navy SEALs.

Following yet another successful Creamery Picnic in Stevensville, it seems only fitting to re-introduce the Creamery Building and its new owners, Carrie and Brett McEnroe-Mauri.
The first Creamery Picnic was held in 1911 following a devastating fire. A successful community-wide effort to rebuild the razed structure was completed in a single month on August 1, 1911. At the time the building housed the Bitterroot Cooperative Creamery which provided a marketplace for the milk and cream from local dairies and was central to the local economy. The Creamery Building will always be of tremendous significance to the Creamery Picnic celebration which is considered to be the oldest ongoing community festival in the state of Montana.
Last summer, Carrie McEnroe, a native Montanan, learned that the Creamery Building was facing another pot
entially devastating threat. Recognizing the desperate need for someone to step in to save the historic structure, Carrie and her husband decided to set aside their plans for her new business, turning their attention instead onto the Creamery Building.
While fire was not the culprit this time, the couple says the bottom line is that the implosion of our economy had set into motion an equally insidious set of events that could have left the building in ruins just as the fire of 1911 did.
When Carrie began working with the previous owner of the building last summer, she quickly realized that if someone didn't come forward to purchase the property or come up with a plan and some considerable investment, it would inevitably be lost for back taxes and likely bulldozed, lost to the town forever. Carrie's husband Brett Mauri, following his own inspection of the building, stated that if the property were allowed to languish for a few more years, the town would likely have little choice but to condemn the structure.
Another victim of the economic meltdown, which began in 2007, the Creamery Building could no longer cover its own costs. The fixed overhead costs of the property are significant, according to Brett. He said they will likely have to spend over a half million dollars over the next several years to undo the scars left behind from a variety of haphazard "improvements" that have been made to the building over the decades and to address a long list of renovations that will be required to save, restore and preserve the historic landmark in perpetuity.
Like most residents of Stevensville, Carrie and her husband have a strong emotional attachment to the building as one of the town's historic landmarks. So, not unlike the town's rally to rebuild following the fire of 1911, the couple decided to step in and attempt to save the building from its inevitable demise, purchasing it in April of this year.
"Honestly, we were very nervous about moving forward with the property," says Carrie, because the short-term economic outlook remains so uncertain. Brett and Carrie operate a timber frame business from their home in Stevensville and they say that production has been lower in the last two years than any time in the history of the company, which was founded in 1999.
Nevertheless, they decided to move forward because, as former owner Arlene Chapman puts it, "They are the perfect team for the job."
Carrie studied business management and sales and marketing at the University of Montana in Missoula and has a long and successful background in retail sales and display, having managed several businesses in Big Sky, where she lived for nearly 20 years. Brett studied historic preservation at the University of Vermont and has spent his entire adult life designing and building homes that reflect the architecture of a bygone era, when buildings were hewn from rough timber and raised by and for the community.
Brett and Carrie both point to their newfound opportunity to become acquainted with so many of the town's longtime residents as perhaps the most rewarding of their many experiences since purchasing the Creamery Building only four months ago. Carrie points out that the Creamery Antique Mall, which they re-opened a month after buying the building, feels more like a local gathering place than a retail shop. People stop in daily, just to see what's going on there and to catch up on community happenings.
But beyond that, the couple has been amazed by how many people have shown up just to lend a helping hand.
"We've spent many long evenings over at the creamery, cleaning, painting, tearing down and rebuilding, and while it feels like the first phase is taking forever to complete, when we look back on it, we really have come a long way in very little time," says Brett. He and Carrie are adamant about the fact that what has been accomplished couldn't possibly have been without all of the help they've received along the way.
"Much to our surprise, as soon as we decided to move forward, one after another, people we've never even met started showing up offering a helping hand," says Carrie. From trying to tame the neglected grounds to removing years of junk, to tearing down water damaged ceilings, locals have once again come to the rescue of the historic building.
Carrie and Brett both agree that they "have a very long way to go." But in the end they believe all of the hard work will be worthwhile and rewarding, not only to them, but more importantly to the community.
"We just want our son Keelan and our neighbors in Stevensville to enjoy the creamery as so many have before them," said Brett.
The husband and wife team are nearing completion of phase one of their undertaking by reopening the Creamery Antique Mall. The shop is stocked full of antiques, collectibles and other findings the two have collected over the years, both locally and from their travels. They've also attracted a handful of other vendors, nine in all, who have added fabulous collections ranging from old world Dutch furniture to a great collection of vintage motorcycles.
Carrie's goal is to bring in a total of 18 vendors before she turns her attention to introducing her up-cycling shop, which she hopes to take on sometime next year. The couple also hopes to attract other retailers and local businesses to round out the community's experience when visiting the Creamery Building. The word on the street is that the two just might turn the Creamery around, establishing it as a destination location.
As far as the building goes, Brett says he's in it for the long haul, referring to the building humorously as "the proverbial money pit."
"We haven't even begun work on the exterior of the building which is what I'm most anxious to take on," says Mauri, "and we've only just scratched the surface on the interior. Our goal was to get the place back up and running, fix the leaks, and start generating some income to help offset at least part of the property's operating cost. It's going to be a challenge, but we are passionate about the property, passionate about Stevensville, and up to the task."

Top 10 greatest inventions of ancient China
Red lanterns hung up all over China to greet New Year
Tianzhu tools are back on the table
The secrets of sailing
China's long history has seen many extremely important inventions emerge. Besides the four most famous inventions - papermaking, moveable-type printing, gunpowder and the compass, how many other creations do you know? We have selected the top 10 greatest inventions in ancient China to help you learn more about Chinese history and culture.
Porcelain is a very specific kind of ceramic produced in the extreme temperatures of a kiln. Porcelain, of course, originated in China; which is how China gets its name. Early in the 16th century BC during the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC-1046 BC), the ancient prototypes of porcelain had already appeared in China. In the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the skill of making porcelain was perfected, while in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the art of Chinese porcelain reached its peak and became popular and famous throughout the world. In 1708, the German Physicist Tschirnhausen invented European porcelain, thus ending the Chinese porcelain monopoly.

OXFORD, Mississippi -- Police at the University of Mississippi say they have turned over to the FBI information regarding vandalism apparently aimed at an African-American freshman.
"We are presenting everything we have about this case to them," University Police Chief Calvin Sellers said in The Oxford Eagle. "They will investigate to see if this is a hate crime or civil rights violations."
The university said Jamal Woods notified an instructor in August that a racial slur had been written on his dormitory room door. The Clarion-Ledger reports that residence hall officials confirmed the slur and streaks of lotion were found on Woods' door.
The student was moved to another dorm, where no problems were reported until Nov. 5, when his pickup truck was vandalized.
News of the investigation follows a protest against the re-election of President Barack Obama earlier this week, during which some people at the school shouted racial slurs. Two people were arrested on minor charges.
The Graduate Student Council at Ole Miss is putting together a panel discussion Nov. 27 at the Overby Center on campus that will examine the perception and the reality of the protest event.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The man police say was stealing high-end furniture will spend five to 22 years in prison after pleading guilty to gun charges and receiving and concealing stolen property.
Michael McClerin, despite his massive previous criminal record, asked Kent County Circuit Judge Mark Trusock for mercy on behalf of McClerin's four young daughters during a sentencing hearing Thursday, July 31. McClerin conviction history includes 10 felony offenses, nine misdemeanors, nine jail sentences and five prison sentences, according to court records.
But McClerin told the judge that when he committed his previous crimes, he was willing to do the time because he was on his own.
"I never had to be responsible for kids," said McClerin, adding that his youngest child is 10 months old.
The mother of the children mailed the court a photo of the youngsters.
McClerin said that he tried to be a responsible father after his children were born, but then made the mistake of succumbing to the lure of what seemed to be easy money.
Investigators say 41-year-old Michael McClerin broke into the Gorman's Home Furnishings store, 2320 28th St. SE, on March 3 and made off with a leather couch worth more than $6,500. He returned six days later to steal the cushions and a rug, according to court records.
Investigators believe McClerin is responsible for break-ins at other home furnishing stores, taking similarly expensive items that he stored in a facility that police said looked like a furniture store. Police say McClerin had at least $41,000 worth of items.
Related: Man who police say stole couch, then returned for matching cushions arrested on gun charges
McClerin was arrested on March 20 and police say they discovered a receipt a storage unit that held other stolen items from Gorman's and elsewhere. The couch and rug have yet to be recovered.
McClerin pleaded guilty last month to receiving and concealing stolen property over $20,000, an offense that has a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Because McClerin is a four-time repeat offender, his maximum sentence could have been doubled to 20 years.
The Kent County Prosecutor's Office agreed to reduce his status to a two-time repeat offender, which reduced the maximum to 15 years in prison, in exchange for the guilty plea. McClerin also pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The prosecution also agreed not to pursue any additional charges related to the alleged thefts.
Trusock sentenced McClerin to three to 15 years for receiving and concealing the stolen items and a two to 7-1/2-year sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. McClerin also has to pay $1,000 in restitution.

A clearer picture of the devastation wrought by Typhoon Haiyan is coming into view, thanks in part to reports from Baptist World Alliance member organizations located in the Philippines.
BWA leaders said Thursday they have received updates from those groups that give some detail to what has been known since the storm struck that country on Nov. 8: suffering and destruction on a massive scale.
Ildefonso Alfafara, general secretary of the Baptist Conference of the Philippines, told the U.S.-based BWA that 2,000 families in the province of Cebu, including many Baptists, have lost their homes.
"Approximately 80 percent of homes in the province were badly damaged or destroyed," the alliance added in the news release. "Several Baptist churches were also destroyed."
Similar reports came in from leaders of the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches, the Luzon Convention of Southern Baptist Churches and the Convention of Visayas and Mindanao of Southern Baptist Churches. Leaders of those groups added that communications remain drastically impaired, and that many survivors in more remote areas are hard to reach with aid.
Media reports say the death toll from the storm has dropped from early estimates of around 10,000 to nearly 4,000. CNN reported the number of people in need is so great that there isn't enough water, medicine and food to meet the needs of an estimated 900,000 people.
Other reports say that 90 percent of the population of Capiz province has been affected by the typhoon, with at least 15 of its cities "wiped off the map," the BWA announcement said.
"The destruction of the super typhoon has exceeded all predictions and expectations," Carroll Baltimore, president of the Progressive National Baptist Convention in the United States, told BWA. Baltimore was in the Philippines when the storm struck.
Baptist groups are joining a range of nonprofit and governmental organizations trying to meet those needs.
Virginia Baptists are sending $5,000 directly to a Filipino group it trained in Crisis Care Chaplaincy a few years ago, said Dean Miller, disaster relief coordinator with the Virginia Baptist Mission Board.
They also are sending $20,000 to BWAid today, he added in the e-mail to Baptist disaster aid officials in other organizations.
The Baptist Standard reported on Thursday that Texas Baptist Men, the Convention of the Philippine Baptist Churches and BWA were collaborating to help pastors in the Philippines administer aid.
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship reported $12,500 is to be given to various aid groups in the region, and that they are deploying a Malaysian-based missionary to the Philippines to help with damage assessment for further aid efforts.

Managing Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) - Article 4 Direction
There are many tools available to manage Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). This page relates to the planning control of HMOs and specifically to the use of an 'Article 4 Direction'.
On 14 September 2012 an Article 4 Direction came into force in relation to the removal of permitted development rights for changes of use from C3 Dwellinghouse to C4 HMOs in the neighbourhoods of Beacon Park and Pennycross, City Centre, East End, Efford, Hartley and Mannamead, Higher Compton, Lipson and Laira, Mount Gould, Mutley and Greenbank, Peverell, Stoke and Stonehouse in the city of Plymouth.
The Article 4 Direction and a map showing the specific area concerned (outlined in red) is available below.
The effect of the Direction is that, since 14 September 2012, planning permission is required from the Council for the change of use of a property, in the areas listed above, from a Dwelling house to a C4 HMO.
'C4' HMOs are small shared dwelling houses occupied by between three and six unrelated individuals, as their only or main residence, who share basic amenities such as a kitchen or bathroom. Further information about the C4 use class is contained in Circular 08/2010 which is available from the Communities website.
Prior to the Direction, planning permission was not required from the Council for this type of change of use due to 'Permitted Development Rights'. The 'Article 4 Direction' removes the permitted development rights of properties in the areas specified and brings this change of use under the control of the Council.
The changes do not apply retrospectively to properties used as HMOs before the Direction came into force on 14 September 2012, although all properties within the Article 4 Direction area will have their permitted development rights removed for the type of development specified.
It remains possible for a C4 use to be changed back to a C3 use without requiring planning permission from the Council, and this has been the case since 6 April 2010. Change of use to HMOs with more than six unrelated individuals already requires planning permission from the Council.
Development Guidelines SPD First Review
We have now adopted the Development Guidelines SPD First Review which includes further guidelines in relation to planning applications for changes of use to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) which are received as a result of an Article 4 Direction. Further details can be found on the Development Guidelines SPD First Review page.
Background to the Article 4 Direction
On 23 August 2011 Cabinet members were asked to consider applying for an 'Article 4 Direction'. They resolved to approve the recommendations of the report.
On 13 September 2011 Plymouth City Council made an Article 4 Direction in relation to the removal of permitted development rights for changes of use from C3 Dwelling house to C4 HMOs in the neighbourhoods of Beacon Park and Pennycross, City Centre, East End, Efford, Hartley and Mannamead, Higher Compton, Lipson and Laira, Mount Gould, Mutley and Greenbank, Peverell, Stoke and Stonehouse in the City of Plymouth.
In line with legislation, the Council carried out a six week consultation on the proposed Article 4 Direction. This gave the opportunity for anybody to give thoughts on the proposals. The consultation ran from 13 September 2011 to 5pm on 25 October 2011.
On 9 January 2012 the Growth and Prosperity Overview and Scrutiny Panel considered the consultation responses received. They resolved to endorse the use of a non-immediate Article 4 Direction and to propose to the Cabinet Member for Planning, Strategic Housing and Economic Development that, taking into account the consultation responses received, he should confirm the Direction.
Having considered all of the responses received during consultation, the Council confirmed the Article 4 Direction on 14 February 2012.

Leete's big night not enough | Girls basketball
Annie Leete and her Oak Harbor High School teammates put up a good fight, but the Everett girls basketball team had too many weapons and defeated the host Wildcats 72-37 Monday, Jan. 23.
Leete, a sophomore guard, drilled six of seven three-point attempts and finished with 22 points, but the Seagulls (8-4, 11-5) countered with 10 three-balls to roll to the win.
In all, five Everett players made shots from beyond the arc and they combined to miss only six three-ball attempts, and five of those were by one player.
With the score tied at 13 with two minutes left in the first quarter, Everett went on an 11-1 run and finished the frame up 24-17.
When Leete hit her fourth three-pointer of the half to make it 30-20, Everett coach John Low switched to a box-and-one defense to slow the Oak Harbor sharp-shooter. The move worked and the Seagulls led 41-24 at the half.
Leete opened the second half with two more threes to trim it to 41-30. Again, the Seagulls went to a box-and-one, and, again, Leete was held in check.
Everett finished the quarter with 10 straight points and a 53-30 lead.
Leete received little offensive support. Ciera Wiser was next with seven points (she also had seven rebounds). Dominique Jackson finished with three points, Jalani Bobo two, Marissa Lewis two and Rayan Russell one.
The Wildcats were hurt by turnovers. They committed 28 that led to 38 Everett points.
Natalie Fiallos, instead of Leete, opened at point guard for Oak Harbor, and coach Trisha Clayville said the 4-10 sophomore "did all the right things." The move also opened up offensive opportunities for Leete, Clayville said.
Clayville said she liked the offensive aggressiveness of Wiser and that Bobo "played well."
"We passed the ball better," Clayville said, "but we still had too many unforced errors."
Oak Harbor (1-10, 2-13) entertains Meadowdale (6-6, 7-9)Wednesday, Jan. 25, at 7:15 p.m. and then travels to Mountlake Terrace (2-9, 4-11) and Shorewood (5-5, 6-8)Friday and Saturday.

Climate Change Hinders Fight Against Poverty: UN Deputy Secretary-General Calls for New and Urgent Responses
29 September 2008: Speaking at a Ministerial Meeting of
Least Developing Countries (LDCs), taking place in New York, US, UN Deputy
Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro underlined that climate change and the food

The Programme outlines steps to be taken by both industrialized nations
and LDCs to fight poverty, including commitments by the LDCs on good governance
and by the world's wealthiest countries to spend 0.15-0.2% of gross national
