PHILADELPHIA -- Under the sweltering South Philadelphia sun, the Eagles began their final minicamp of the spring before training camp gets underway next month.
Head coach Chip Kelly stepped to the podium at the Novacare Complex prior to practice and announced that even through the optional portion of the spring's OTAs, the Eagles had full attendance and participation, even before the three mandatory practices this week got underway.
"[it says] We've got a bunch of guys that love playing football," Kelly said of the perfect attendance.
Here's a look at the key moments and observations from Tuesday's practice:
During the special teams periods of practice Henery and fellow kicker Carey Spear took turns kicking field goals and stepping back a further distance after each kick. Spear continues to struggle with accuracy but it was Henery's leg that stole the show. On back-to-back kicks Henery drilled a pair of 50-yard field goals, bouncing the first off the cross bar and over and the second one clearing the uprights with at least five yards to spare.
It remains to be seen how legitimate a competition for the kicker job this is between Spear and Henery, but the veteran appears to have an early upper-hand.
It seems as though Eagles special teams coach Dave Fipp is already zeroing in on who will be handling kick and punt return duties. Tuesday it was Josh Huff returning kickoffs with the first team and Darren Sproles primarily handling punts. It wouldn't be shocking to see both Huff and Sproles lining up to return kickoffs, but it seems Sproles got the most work in as a punt returner on Tuesday.
Outside of going down on the last practice of an OTA last month, Maclin has shown no ill effects of the ACL tear he suffered early on in training camp last summer. The 26-year-old has been a full participant in all of the drills asked of him this spring according to Kelly and seems to be confident in his surgically repaired knee.
The backup quarterback battle continues to wage on between Barkley and Sanchez, with the former New York Jet getting the bulk of second-team snaps, still, but Barkley snagging a couple of snaps with that unit on Tuesday as well. While there is a significant drop off from Foles to either of the backups on the roster, neither have been particularly sharp.
Sanchez threw an interception to Earl Wolff that appeared so telegraphed that it may have been on purpose and Barkley continued to be erratic.
G.J. Kinne, who is actually taking a handful of third-team snaps each day--splitting them with Barkley, may actually have the strongest arm of any of the backup signal callers on the roster.
The play of the day came during an 11-on-11 period when Foles rolled out to his right to allude the oncoming pass rush, threw across his body to Jeremy Maclin who hauled in the reception and turned up field to convert a first-down. It was as pretty a pass as you'll see in the summer, albeit without the pads being on and sans any contact whatsoever.
This spring Foles has been sharp and appears to be brimming with confidence knowing that he is the starter and seems to command the respect of his teammates as a leader as well.

Tech's Tommy Tuberville on Big 12: 'I don't think this conference will last long'
Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville discussed some Big 12 Conference issues during his time as a guest on Rivals Radio, according to Tom Dienhart of Yahoo Sports.
Dienhart said Tuberville, who was once the head coach at both Ole Miss and Auburn, discussed with radio host Bill King how teams are treated more equally in the Southeastern Conference than in the Big 12.
"I don't think this conference will last long because there is too much disparity between all the teams," Dienhart reports Tuberville having said on the show. "In the SEC, for instance, Vanderbilt makes as much money in the television contract as Florida. Everybody is good with it. Everybody is on the same page. Everyone gets the same votes.
"That doesn't happen here in the Big 12. We have some teams that get a little bit more money and have a little it [sic] more stroke than some of the other teams. And when that happens, you're gonna have teams looking for better avenues to leave and reasons to leave. We have a 10-team league right now, but I just don't know how long that's gonna last, to be honest with you."
Tuberville will coach his first game as a head coach with a Big 12 team when the Red Raiders take on SMU on Sept. 5 in Lubbock.

Campus notebook: Liverpool JSoc celebrates anniversary
● Liverpool JSoc celebrates its 90th anniversary with a charity ball on March 3.
Money will be raised for three charities: the Lone Soldier Centre, which supports young immigrants and volunteers serving in the Israeli Defence Forces; Langdon College, the residential specialist further education college for Jewish students with learning difficulties; and the Daniel Bleiberg Trust, set up in memory of a student who tragically died in a road accident outside Liverpool's Hillel House in 2000.
To make a donation contact organisers at email@example.com.
● More than 130 people attended Leeds JSoc's first Friday night dinner organised by the new committee.
The following week a Rubik's Cube-themed launch party was held at the city's Vodka Revolution bar. Party-goers received free T-shirts and drinks and took part in challenges. An interactive "Twitter wall" displayed messages and pictures during the evening.
● UJS has encouraged its members to take part in a blood drive.
It wants JSocs to ask students to attend blood donation sessions, or run their own, regularly on campuses.
Volunteers at each JSoc are being sought to organise the drive, set up in memory of Carol Kay, who died in December following a long illness. Mrs Kay, the mother of two Jewish students, received blood during the course of her battle with cancer.
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more details of donation sessions.
● UCL JSoc welcomed speakers Sir Martin Sorrell and Lord Winston, attracting more than 200 people on each occasion.
Sir Martin, head of advertising giant WPP, spoke about his career and his outlook on the economy. Morality in science and Jewish views of scientific issues were on the agenda for Lord Winston.
Adam Taylor, UCL JSoc president, said: "The events were our most successful this year and it was a privilege to host such distinguished figures. We have several more high profile speakers arranged this year."

Did you hear about Did You Hear About the Morgans? Really, you don't want to. Here is a movie with everything going for it and nothing working. After the preview, I felt an urgent need to enroll in a witless-protection program.
This mirth-free comedy costars Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker as unhappily married Manhattanites who, after seeing a contract killing, are shipped off by the Feds to witness protection in Wyoming. They are remanded to the care of a folksy sheriff (Sam Elliot) and his rifle-totin' wife (Mary Steenburgen). Cue Sarah Palin crack.
It's an occasion for writer/director Marc Lawrence to indulge in feeble red-state/blue-state jokes that are way past their expiration date and the audience's funny threshold.

Hazardous Heuristics
Cass R. Sunstein
Harvard Law School
October 2002
U Chicago Law & Economics, Olin Working Paper No. 165; and U Chicago Public Law Research Paper No. 33
New work on heuristics and biases has explored the role of emotions and affect; the idea of "dual processing"; the place of heuristics and biases outside of the laboratory; and the implications of heuristics and biases for policy and law. This review-essay focuses on certain aspects of "Heuristics and Biases: The Psychology of Intuitive Judgment", edited by Thomas Gilovich, Dale Griffin, and Daniel Kahneman. An understanding of heuristics and biases casts light on many issues in law, involving jury awards, risk regulation, and political economy in general. Some attention is given to the possibility of "moral heuristics" - rules of thumb, for purposes of morality, that generally work well but that also systematically misfire.

Nightlife in Malta
By Viator, November 2013
While Malta has not yet caught up with Ibiza, in recent years it has become a presence on the throbbing European clubbing scene. Resort nightlife can get boisterous, with late-night clubs in the tangle of streets around Paceville in St Julian's creating a small but frenetic party zone over summer. There are dozens of neon-infested pubs offering cheap alcohol and clubs that start getting busy just before midnight, when streets are gridlocked with hooting cars trying to avoid crowds spilling into the streets. International DJs fly in for guest appearances, playing anything and everything from techno to hip-hop, salsa music and rock. Bugibba is another enclave crammed with bars and clubs, although nowhere near as rowdy as Paceville, while the open-air party complex at Gianpula Fields near Rabat is summer host to one-off parties and club night.
Even Gozo now has a few nightclubs and Valletta is also showing signs of throwing off its sleepy after-dark image, with lots of laid-back wine bars, fine dining opportunities and a thriving cultural scene. Both the Manoel Theatre and the St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity have year-round repertoires of plays, classical concerts, opera, ballet performances and art-house films.
Summer is the season of art and musical festivals around the islands, with a series of Shakespeare plays performed in the gardens at San Anton Palace each July. Almost every week there's a religious festival of some sort, accompanied by parades, bunting and fireworks.
But music and dance runs deep through the Maltese psyche and to experience island hospitality at its most traditional, take in a foot-stomping performance of ancient island dances and jigs, complete with traditional costumes, singing and mandolin playing, over an open-air buffet dinner at Limestone Heritage Park and Gardens in Siggiewi.

In June last year, Yossi Benayoun revealed that he would love to finish his career in America. He described a move to the MLS as one of his "favourite options" before signing a loan deal with QPR.
In a week where he scored twice and also saw red, I'm sure the Israeli is keeping very close tabs on the Beckham-revolution in Miami. One last big pay-day would make sense for a player that may not be able to cut it should the Hoops clinch a return to the Premier Division next season.
Given the huge Jewish population in Miami, the 25,000 seater-venue would be smack bang in the tourist area and fans could flock to games before hopping on to a cruise.
It sounds like a match made in heaven as his signature would pull in the crowds, boost merchandise sales and we may even see chicken soup and lockshen and some smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels on the menu.
* Another man with the American bug is Simon Corney who says he will resign as owner of Oldham Athletic if the team is relegated.
A draw at Leyton Orient boosted their hopes of staying up, but Corney said there will be no excuses if they drop into League 2.
"I would consider it a personal failure and would have little option other than to fall on my sword," said Corney who spends much of his time in the States through work commitments.
"I would step down and seriously consider handing the club to the supporters who would have to ensure it ran within its means."
* While most young Jewish boys can only dream of playing international football, it appears Dean Furman is paying the price for success with the South African national team after kicking his heels on the bench at Doncaster Rovers.
The midfield maestro came on for the last few minutes of Tuesday's 2-0 defeat at Burnley, but he hasn't started for the past five games.
"It's frustrating for me, but that's just the way it goes," Furman said. "If the gaffer feels that the travelling's taking it out of me, and he wants to go with someone else, I have to accept that decision. I have to make sure I'm ready and available for selection whenever he needs me."
* Maccabi GB Scotland are looking for players to represent them in Open Football at the 2015 European Maccabi Games in Scotland.
A spokesman told me: "It's looking good this time, but we want to open it up to London-based/ English boys with Scottish Heritage."

While the activities in Orange Beach, Alabama, are boundless, nothing quite compares to sailing in the beautiful waters of the Gulf Coast. On the Wild Hearts catamaran, one of the most popular charters in the area, you can enjoy whale watching while sipping a glass of wine with someone special.
If you're looking for a way to spend a day at sea, then your search for the perfect afternoon is at an end: The Wild Hearts catamaran charter service, departing from Orange Beach, will provide you with options for your excursion, from romantic dinners for two to family-centered adventures in the waves. Whether you reserve the boat for just a few hours or the entire day, you're almost guaranteed to see dolphins playing in the wake. And you will have countless opportunities to take photos that will make all of your friends back home wish they were with you!
At 53 feet long, the large Wild Hearts catamaran accommodates large parties, so if you're bringing your extended family with you to stay at a Gulf Shores area vacation rental, everyone can hop aboard. The massive mast stretches 72 feet into the air, allowing the vessel to reach swift speeds that will let your hair fly.

In addition, your excursion includes opportunities to experience stand-up paddle boarding - a rare treat even for those who live near the beach!
Passengers who have enjoyed their time aboard Wild Hearts are quick to make sure everyone knows about it, including Joseph D. Fargnoli, who took a trip with his son on the boat for a mere hour, but said they both had a great time.
"My son had a fantastic experience," said Fargnoli. "The crew was so accommodating and taught him many aspects of sailing. He walked off of the boat glowing over the experience and asked when we could go again. Wild Hearts is more than sailing - it is a wonderful adventure that must be experienced."

what is happening to the swings?
beintween is disappointed with the swings being taken down, just as all of you, who have enjoyed this space for the last 381 days are.
We have heard from you all before on how much you LOVED this space. we are commemorating this space and what meaning it had to everyone through your experiences. Fellow beintween'ers, Milwaukeeans, and Wisconsinites. We need YOUR HELP!
beintween is encouraging everyone to send us pictures, videos, comments and post them on this blog post here. or upload them to the ARTery Facebook (click for link) #beintween #bringbacktheswingsmke
A background on the swing park under the Holton Bridge. Beintween installed these swings , in Sept of last year.
They were put up by beintween with some supplies donated from the kind hearted people at Home Depot. The tires came from our 'creational trail project the artery aka beerline extension. The swings were the talk of the town, coming to the park was now a place to be, not just pass through.
The commotion and excitement of the park was so great that we were contacted my the City of Milwaukee. They wanted to inherit the swings, for insurance purposes and for general maintence of the swings. We obliged, since we had high hopes of the swings lasting longer than we could do ourselves (with a limited budget). As the months passed on, swings were beginning to break, one by one, and we came to resurrect them, attached better and newer chains...making them better. As time went by, more swings started to come down, and disappear. We had found out that the City of Milwaukee has been taking down the swings and bringing them to a City owned junk yard.
Since we do not have ownership of the swings, we need your stories to help voice the return of the swing park. We need to work together to get attention to this park and bring it back to its glory days!

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Teacher Tips and Strategies, Technology
Welcome to Mary Blow's Classroom
- Grades: 6–8
I teach 6th grade English at Lowville Academy Middle School in New York's Black River Valley, located in the rolling foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.
I teach 6th grade English at Lowville Academy Middle School in New York's Black River Valley, located in the rolling foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.
Lowville is an agriculture-dependent community in the heart of Lewis County, one of the lowest socio-economic counties in our state. Despite economic struggles, Lowville is rich in small town culture, which is attractive to many of the 10th Mountain Division soldiers stationed at nearby Fort Drum. We are pioneers in alternative energy. Not only are we home to the infamous Maple Ridge Wind Farm on Tug Hill, the largest wind farm east of the Mississippi, but we have a nearby biomass plant and a hydropower plant.
Becoming a teacher was a career change for me. Married and with children, I earned my Associate in Arts degree at Jefferson Community College; a Bachelor of Arts in English and Childhood Education and a Master of Science in Education Literacy Specialist (grades 7–12) at SUNY Potsdam; and my NYS certification to teach English (grades 7–12). This is my second year as the chairperson of the Madison-Oneida Model Schools ELA/SS North Committee. During the summer, I work for the St. Lawrence BOCES, leading professional development workshops and assisting teachers with integrating technology into the classroom.
This year, I have approximately 105 students, divided into five inclusive sections. My inclusive classrooms are designed so every child can succeed. Whenever possible, I give students voice and choice, encouraging them to take ownership in their learning. My 6th grade students engage in writer's workshops and literature circles, working at their instructional levels while collaborating with peers of all abilities. Mini-lessons target whole class and individual needs. My favorite projects are those where the students are in charge of their learning. When they designed a medieval wiki, they researched a topic, wrote an article, and published it online. The most exciting part of the project was when my 6th graders were invited to present the wiki at a regional technology conference in Alexandria Bay in the Thousand Islands!
Each year, I empower my students by having them design a unique project using technology. When our year is finished, I want my students to leave my classroom with a sense of adventure for learning. I want them to believe that barriers can be broken, and that if they are willing to work hard enough, they can be whoever they aspire to be. They will leave knowing that they are a part of our school family, and as such, my door is always open — now and 20 years from now.
People might say that my greatest strength is technology. I believe my greatest strength is my passion for learning and my desire to share with and learn from others. Collaborating with colleagues is especially critical in developing curriculum and integrating technology into my classroom. It is my drive to learn from and network with others that has brought me to this exciting endeavor, working as Scholastic's 2010–2011 Grade 6–8 Teacher Advisor.

Good morning, Missou. It is nice to have you join us. ~Mary
good morning madame
Hi, Theresa,
Middle school students love to socialize, as I am guessing you have figured out. I would tap into their desire to socialize with group work and classroom presentations. Offer choices whenever possible. Perhaps you can put them into groups and debate climate control. The level of participation goes up with a little competition. Technology is also a great hook. They could present in groups using online web 2.0 tools: glogster (digital posters: http://edu.glogster.com) or voicethread (presentation tool which allows them to collaborate on line: http://voicethread.com/) or Prezi (a zoom-in presentation tool: http://prezi.com). Most middle school students know how to use these tools. Hope this helps. ~Good Luck, Mary
Hi Mary! I was recently hired by 4-H on a part-time basis. I am teaching middle school students a fabulous curriculum on climate control. Can you tell me the best way to keep them engaged in learning? I have tried to mix it up (DVD, hands-on, posters, etc). Any ideas are welcome and appreciated! I hope you're having a great year!
Debbie, You are welcome. I'd like to see what you are doing with your SMART Board. Thank you for your kind words. I should say contratulations to you as well as our new NYSRA president. Good luck this year. ~Mary
Congratulations Mary! I can't thank you enough for all you have shown me about interactive whiteboards! Scholastic is very fortunate to have a teacher who multi-tasks 24-7! You Go GIRL!
Congratulations. Your bio is great. I love the pictures of the teacher advisors. Everyone looks so happy to be a part of this exciting team. I look forward to raeding about all of the exciting things you will be doing in your classroom.

Useful Documents
Moodle is GPRC's online learning management system. It is an optional resource that instructors may choose in order to provide supplemental access to course materials. Some of the more useful features of Moodle include:
- Continuous Online Access: Moodle can be accessed from anywhere there is an internet connection, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
- Gradebook: Instructors can enter grades for assignments as they are completed and students will immediately have the ability to view them, along with their running total for the course.
- Communication: GPRC's Moodle implementation provides a number of different ways for students and instructors to communicate. Included are email, chat, forums, and group conferencing that includes audio, video, presentations and screen sharing abilities.
- Online Resources: Many instructors upload course resources that students will be able to access at any time.
- Activities: Moodle is not only a platform for providing information to students, it also includes a large number of interactive activities. Among these activities are self grading quizzes providing instantaneous feedback to students allowing them to see their marks just moments after submitting the exam. Wiki modules are available that will allow students to collaborate on projects. In fact, with the help of the Educational Technologies Centre, any nearly any activity that can be envisioned could be made into a resource accessible through Moodle.
GPRC's Moodle installation is managed by the Library's Educational Technologies Centre. That management includes training sessions throughout the year, both formal group training and tailored one-to-one training, as well as technical support.
Moodle began life as a small project in Australia written by teachers, for teachers. It has since grown to include contributions by developers and institutions world wide. It is well supported and has help and resources available throughout the web.

text: The consumer durable goods industrial production index was 84.8 in July 2012. This is the lowest level for the index since December 2011, but July is a seasonally low month for manufacturing output. Compared to July 2011, industrial production grew 8.7%. This is a strong rate of growth but is the lowest month-over-month growth rate since December 2011. Despite the slower rate of growth in July, the annual rate of change continued its rapid acceleration. The annual rate of growth is now 8.7%, which is the fastest rate of annual growth since March 2011. Also, this marks the ninth consecutive month of growth for consumer durable goods industrial production. Since consumer durable goods industrial production is the best leading indicator for machine tool sales, this is a very positive sign for future machine tool consumption.

This remarkable book, the outcome of a study initiated with the purpose of evaluating the contributions of psychoanalysis to a knowledge of personality, essays to present in summary form a survey of psychoanalytic theory and formulations. The material is presented almost entirely without comment or criticism. That such a survey, entailing as it does an enormous volume of reading and a high degree of critical judgment, is greatly needed is patent to any one with even a superficial knowledge of the rapid growth in this field. The plan adopted by the authors has been to print on the left hand page the more or less accepted views of orthodox psychoanalysts and on the right hand page "(a) contributions of exegetical value, (b) some notable accessions to the analytical structure of 'Freudians', and (c) on account of their attempt constructively to modify psychoanalytic doctrine, various ideas set forth by those, who,

I don't see any claims about Mozilla 1.6 running on SuSE 6.2:
However, it can be done (as with most things in Linux). Just satisfy the
top three requirements:

You can fid out what glibc version you have by running:
at a command prompt.
Unfortunately, it appears as if glibc 2.2.4 only appears in SuSE 7.3 or
later, so it looks like you might have to compile it from source:

What are Software Patents for?
To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies.
What do Software Patents do?
In its current form, they protect only companies with
big legal departments as they:
a.) Patent everything no matter how general
b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued
invalid, small companies can ill-afford the
typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention
years of harassment).
Don't let them take away your right to program
whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents
before its too late.

Apartment very nice and clean. Location super-comfortable!
Appartamento molto carino e pulito. Posizione super-comoda!
A perfectly flat centrally located and everything you need. The care provided un 10. As only downside to not have wireless connection, it would be great to find information or check email, otherwise perfect !!
Un apartamento perfectamente ubicado muy céntrico y con todo lo necesario. La atención recibida un 10. Como única pega el no tener conexión Wifi, que seria genial para poder buscar información o mirar el correo, por lo demás perfecta!!
Very nice and cosy apartment located on a good location. Only 20minutes away from Gare du Nord, 2 minutes from metro stop Menilmontante and at the opposite of the street a small supermarket. Very handy! The apartment is big enough for 6 people. All necessary things you expect of renting an apartment is present and available. Will definitely recommend this apartment to others.
We loved the place we stayed in, the apartment was very comfortable, and it was central to everything, We walked lots of places, and was very easy to get to Gare de Norde, in order to do Euro Disney etc. Also every morning my husband would get us awesome stuff from the deli and markets around for breakfast. We felt like we were part of the local community. It was my 3rd visit to paris, but the best stay yet. We liked being inthe bastille area as we had not been inthat quarter before and never realised how close to everything it was. Especially as we went to the childrens museums like the Natural History and Cite de Science. Tres jolie Apartment. Cannot recommend it enough. Anusha
We had 5 nights in Paris. The apartment was very tidy, good location, well equipped. Overall, we were very pleased. It all went well, as agreed. The transfer was on time. We felt very comfortable.
Wir waren 5 Nächte in Paris. Die Wohnung war sehr ordentlich, gute Lage, gut ausgestattet. Insgesamt waren wir sehr zufrieden. Es hat alles geklappt, wie vereinbart. Die Übergabe war pünktlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

The house is like you see in the picture very pretty . The owner was friendly and helpful .Unique defect cleaning and linen change in a week that were never performed .
Everything perfect, very recomandable !!!
Todo perfecto, muy recomandable!!!
Perfect! The place in Paris, nice, quiet, near to the metro, nice appartement, everything is there, clean, clear appointments, we enjoyed! Thank you so much.
Just this little thing: the light in the bathroom.
For us it was the first hotel that we have booked through Wimdu. The settlement through Wimdu, the contact with the owner and the key handover went smoothly.
The apartment itself was just as equipped as described on Wimdu. It is located in close proximity to the Metro and bus stations. Is located very close to a small supermarket and several restaurants. However, there were some little things that can turn our rating slightly negative.
For example, there were traces of walls and Furnishing (Missing outlet surrounds, peeling paint, etc.) that would be with small handles to fix quickly. The cleanliness could, especially in the bathroom, have been better.
Since the apartment is directly above a pub that is sleeping in the living room only limited by the noise available.
- Processing top
- Great location in terms of connections
- Equipment mediocre, but can be greatly improved by repairs
- Cleanliness medium
Für uns war es die erste Unterkunft, die wir über WIMDU gebucht haben. Die Abwicklung über WIMDU, der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter sowie die Schlüsselübergabe verlief problemlos.
Die Wohnung an sich war genauso ausgestattet wie sie auf WIMDU beschrieben wurde. Sie befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Metro und zu Bushaltestellen. Ganz in der Nähe befindet sich ein kleiner Supermarkt, sowie mehrere Restaurants. Allerdings gab es einige Kleinigkeiten, die unsere Bewertung etwas negativer ausfallen lassen.
Z.B. gab es Gebrauchsspuren an Wänden und Möbiliar (Fehlende Steckdosenumrandungen, abblätternde Farbe etc.) , die mit kleinen Handgriffen schnell zu beheben wären. Auch die Sauberkeit hätte, vor allem im Bad, besser sein können.
Da die Wohnung direkt über einer Kneipe ist, ist die Schlafmöglichkeit im Wohnzimmer durch den Lärm nur eingeschränkt nutzbar.
- Abwicklung top
- Lage in Bezug auf Anbindungen top
- Ausstattung mittelmäßig, kann aber durch Ausbesserungen stark verbessert werden

We are running samba 3.0.10 at work on our server. It is serving a
filesystem which contains all of our subversion workspaces for our
We are using subversion 1.3.0.
The source code and makefile have the eol-style set to native.
When I first created the individual workspaces, I checked them out under
linux; therefore, all of the files were in unix format.
We generally do our work on windows computers; therefore, as files have
been modified and committed, they are put back into the workspaces in
dos format since the windows computers did the commit.
Now here's the issue. The "svn status" command on windows will show a
makefile as having been modified when it has not. This only occurs if I
update my workspace because another developer modified and committed the
makefile from their workspace.
At first I thought the problem was because the normal file was in dos
format while the file in the text-base directory was in unix format. I
tried setting both files to unix format and also dos format and still
get the same result from "svn status" saying the file has been modified.
If I modify a makefile and commit it, "svn status" does not show the
makefile as being modified after the commit. I checked and when I do
the commit in my workspace, the normal file is in dos format and the
text-base file is in unix format so I sure can't figure out what's going on.
Normal source code files do not have this behavior even though they also
end up in dos format while the text-base file is in unix format.
To take this a step further, I copied my entire workspace onto my local
disk on my windows computer and "svn status" does NOT report the
makefile as having been modified.
By the way, under linux, it does not report the makefile as modified.

The children were destined for the Nazi death camps, and Winton was instrumental in getting them safe passage to Britain.
After the war was over, Winton didn't brag about his exploits. In fact, he didn't tell a soul for half a century, not even his wife Grete. Then, in 1988, Grete found a scrapbook dating to 1939 in their attic.
It held all the children's photos, a list of their names, letters from some of their parents, and other documents. It was the first time she'd learned of her husband's story.
Later that year, the BBC program That's Life aired a reunion between Winton and the children – obviously now grown adults – he rescued. Winton was surprised when one of the children he rescued was revealed to be seated beside him, so imagine how he felt when the show's host asked if there were any other people he'd helped to save in the audience and two dozen others stood and applauded.

Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO ) is promising that its users will be protected from the prying eyes of government snoops. CEO Marissa Mayer announced on the company's official Tumblr page that it will offer the widely used Secure Sockets Layer encryption protocol for all of its offerings by the end of Q1 2014. All information flowing between its data centers will be protected by the encryption, and users will have the option to utilize it in all data flow between themselves and Yahoo!'s services.
In the Tumblr post, Mayer pledged that these efforts will be part of the company's operations going forward. She wrote, "As we have said before, we will continue to evaluate how we can protect our users' privacy and their data. We appreciate, and certainly do not take for granted, the trust our users place in us."
The move comes on the heels of revelations earlier this year that certain telecoms and tech companies have been complicit in providing branches of the government with access to their user data.
Mayer emphasized that Yahoo! has never provided access to its data centers for any government agency.

Gastrointestinal tract (GI) bleeding is one of the most frequently encountered, and feared, complications of warfarin therapy. However, we know surprisingly little about whether or when to resume warfarin therapy following GI hemorrhage. Through the lens of "first do no harm," it may seem risky—if not foolish—to resume a drug therapy that recently contributed to a life-threatening medical complication, let alone doing so within the first week following the bleeding event. Yet because warfarin is used to prevent devastating and potentially fatal thrombotic events, clinicians may feel that they have no choice but to resume treatment and hope for the best. Furthermore, some thrombotic events, such as pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation–related stroke, are far more likely to occur during brief periods of warfarin therapy cessation than would be expected, based on extrapolation from annualized event rates in nonanticoagulated patients, particularly in the setting of invasive procedures.1,2 This suggests that warfarin therapy should be resumed as soon as possible following most anticoagulant interruptions.

The Cues Voters Use to Elect Unknown Candidates

She's one of the nine judges on the state's highest criminal court, which literally decides matters of life and death. And she'll be on the Republican ballot in March. But most Texans won't see her name until they walk into the booth next year and decide her future.
Voters choose dozens of important state officials in every election without knowing a thing about them. So they rely on other cues — like political affiliations, pleasing names and who knows what else — to elect judges, legislators and other down-ballot officials.

for Daylight

Hardcover: 124 pages
Publisher: AuthorHouse (April 1, 2010)
Language: English
Product Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 0.4 inches
Human nature when confronted with blind awareness tend to panic and hope for the brighter side of darkness. We are gluttons for punishment if and when there's the perception of no solution for applicable initiative. But human nature also lets us know that if there's a will, there's a way...especially when there's legitimate analogies to draw parallel to certain topical issues with good copy. 'Good copy' in this case can be exemplified by the contents of the book, 'Scratching for Daylight'. Wilbert Gibson is the author and knows quite a bit about darkness. He portrays the frailties of typical life struggles and strength using real life experiences.

government advisory
(Washington, D.C., August 8, 2008) – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced the Fiscal Year 2009 federal per diem rates, which will take effect on October 1, 2008 and run through September 30, 2009.
Some examples of lodging increases for this year include:
Some areas experienced a slight decrease this year, such as San Diego, Calif. for this fall, which was down to $137 from 2008's $139 per night.
The standard Continental U.S. (CONUS) per diem rate for lodging, which applies to destinations that are not specifically listed on the 2009 per diem rate schedule, remains the same as last year at $70 per night.
GSA reviews the CONUS rate every three years. GSA continues to use market data provided by Smith Travel Research to establish per diem rates.

Zotero is one of the best bibliography managers out there, especially as more and more of our reading shifts to a digital format. This is the "standalone" product, not the FireFox plugin. It's the first update since the alpha release in February. Get it while it's hot!

Bibliography update
I've added substantially to this blog's bibliography. It will continue to grow; coming next are not just new entries, but annotations!
As the bibliography grows, it will of necessity become more technical. However, I have tried to keep the general reader in mind, and offer items that will reward the effort of reading them.
Linguistics is unfortunately jargon-laden; linguists love to play with their own language, and every theorist has his or her own specialized vocabulary. However, they do not observe any discipline about defining or using technical terms. This means that the same term will be used or defined differently. Worst of all, they often won't tell you that they're doing it! That suggests they are not self-aware of their own language use or are speaking to their own colleagues (or just to themselves!); the result is sloppy writing and so sloppy thinking! One aid to this problem is Crystal's A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics[1]. It does not solve all ambiguities, but it helps. Reading its various articles also is useful for gaining an overview of various theories and positions on specific linguistic concepts.

Jim Carrey's latest film, 'I Love You Phillip Morris,' may be premiering this week but it's already been generating controversy for months. Based on the true story of Steven Jay Russell, a con man who fell in love with his fellow inmate Phillip Morris while in prison and then spent years escaping from jail over and over in order to create a fantasy life together, 'I Love You Phillip Morris' has languished in film purgatory for over a year and a half despite acclaimed performances from Carrey and co-star Ewan McGregor. The main reason? Distributors are still worried over how audiences will react to the gay relationship at the center of the story.
As Hollywood controversies go, however, the one over 'I Love You Phillip Morris' has turned out to be relatively small, thanks, no doubt, to the groundbreaking work done by 'Brokeback Mountain' five years ago. But the chatter surrounding 'I Love You Phillip Morris' still got us thinking: Which films were so controversial that they continue to spark debate and argument even today?
With that in mind, then, and in honor of the release of 'I Love You Phillip Morris,' here's a look at our picks for the Most Controversial Movies of All Time:
• 'A Serbian Film' -- Since 'A Serbian Film' debuted at the South by Southwest festival this March, the movie has managed to create a firestorm of controversy in every country it has been screened in. While director Aleksandar Radivojević and others claim the story's graphic depiction of rape, incest and murder is a metaphor for the brutality of the Serbian government, many critics have argued that it's actually a metaphor for morally indefensible torture porn. British authorities refused to allow the film to run in London, while Serbian authorities are currently investigating the movie on charges related to child endangerment.
• 'Fahrenheit 9/11' -- The highest-grossing documentary in American history, 'Fahrenheit 9/11' landed like a bombshell right in the middle of the 2004 presidential race. While few on either side of the political debate took issue with director Michael Moore's attack on the dereliction of duty preformed by the mainstream media over the past decade, his other main theme -- that President Bush's decision to invade Iraq was unjustified -- had pundits and average citizens on both sides of the debate up in arms. The result of the controversy? 'Fahrenheit 9/11' won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Motion Picture but wasn't even nominated for the Oscar -- just like 'Twilight.'

• 'The Passion of the Christ' -- Rule number one: movies about Jesus create controversy. And 2004's 'The Passion of the Christ,' like 'The Last Temptation of 'Christ' before it, was no exception, as Mel Gibson's historical epic (which was filmed in Aramaic and Latin to increase realism) was attacked for everything from historical accuracy to anti-Semitism to just being too darn violent. The many controversies, however, only helped the movie build buzz as it destroyed box office records on its way to a shocking $611 million worldwide haul.

• 'Kids' -- One of the most shocking films of the '90s, 1995's 'Kids' is based on a still controversial premise: The main character, an HIV-positive teenager, embarks on a quest to intentionally infect as many young girls as he can through unprotected sex. The storyline, however, took a back seat to the graphic depictions of teenagers in flagrante delicto; outraged activists protested the sexual content, arguing that it both exploited kids and promoted sexual activity. Miramax heads Harvey and Bob Weinstein were forced to create an entirely new company to release the film when Disney refused to distribute the movie.

• 'Natural Born Killers' -- Director Oliver Stone is no stranger to controversy; his 1991 political epic 'JFK' still generates argument even 20 years later. But compared to 1994's 'Natural Born Killers,' the controversy surrounded 'JFK' is a drop in the bucket. Audiences and critics alike were shocked by the film's violent imagery -- the movie was banned entirely in Ireland -- and upon its domestic release, 'Natural Born Killers' was almost immediately blamed for a number of copycat murders. Which is especially ironic considering the film is a satire about the media's obsession with and glorification of serial killers.

• 'The Last Temptation of Christ' -- Before Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis' novel even hit theaters in 1988, controversy already surrounded it, mainly due to an extended dream sequence in which Jesus imagines what his life with Mary Magdalene might be like if he were to accept Satan's offering of a human existence instead of death on the cross. Protests were staged across America, while in France, Christian militants burnt a theater to the ground during a showing, seriously injuring a number of theater patrons. Even today, 'The Last Temptation of Christ' is still banned in some countries.

• 'Salo' -- Subtitled 'The 120 days of Sodom,' 'Salo' re-imagines the infamous book by the Marquis de Sade as a political commentary on the state of fascist Italy during World War II and its similarities to the commercialization of sex by the modern media. At least, that's what defenders of the film have argued; opponents claim that its sadistic portrayal of the rape and murder of a group of underage victims is a moral outrage without artistic merit. Pier Paolo Pasolini never had a chance to answer criticisms, however; he himself was brutally murdered before the movie's 1975 premiere.

• 'Last Tango in Paris' -- When 'Last Tango in Paris' debuted in 1972, its frank depictions of a carnal affair between two strangers ignited a national controversy, landing the movie on the cover of TIME and Newsweek -- and landing star Marlon Brando a Best Actor nomination at the Academy Awards. Crowds in France stood in line for hours for a chance to see it, but in director Bernardo Bertolucci's home country of Italy, people weren't quite so happy; the government ordered all copies of the film destroyed and sentenced Bertolucci to four months in prison.
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD | Rotten Tomatoes Rating
• 'Deep Throat' -- The film that turned the X rating into "X rated," 'Deep Throat' remains one of the best known porno movies of all time -- and not just because the name became synonymous with the Watergate scandal a year after its 1972 release. The film's producers and lead actor Harry Reems were prosecuted on federal obscenity charges in America, while the movie was banned for nearly 30 years in Britain. Co-star Linda Lovelace, meanwhile, has since alleged that her abusive husband forced her to film the graphic sex sequences, making the film little more than a chronicle of rape and also insuring that the controversy surrounding 'Deep Throat' will continue for years to come.
• 'A Clockwork Orange' -- Stanley Kubrick's 1971 masterpiece was controversial enough in America -- it received a X rating for graphic sexual violence and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops forbade their congregations from seeing the film -- but the furor here was nothing compared to that in Britain, where the film was set. After the government implicated the film in several copycat crimes, Kubrick received threats to himself and his family and petitioned Warner Bros. to withdraw the movie from British distribution. The film was banned in Britain until after Kubrick's death in 1999, a ban that was taken very seriously; one art house that attempted to show the movie in 1993 was permanently shut down.

I viewed tonight's 4-1 defeat in Pittsburgh as part of the NHL Center Ice cable package. Because of this, I was "treated" to the Penguins' home telecast, and while this could have resulted in a blog about my dislike of teams whose announcers are complete "homers," instead it is about some astute analysis of Ilya Kovalchuk's effort (or lack thereof).
The Pens' crew broke down Kovalchuk on a few occasions, most notably his decision to go off the ice for a change while Jordan Staal cruised down Kovy's side of the ice for the Pens' third goal. It was this type of play, along with numerous puzzling decisions to pass on shots, make poor passes in the defensive zone, and skate half-heartedly through the neutral zone that prompted me to question Kovy's mental state in this blog.
Perhaps he was tired from logging crazy minutes in the team's first five games, but Kovalchuk looked much more like a player with a career minus-103 rating than a $100 million franchise player tonight (note the rating would be minus-104 had he not jumped off on the Staal play). The Devils cannot afford for Kovy to EVER look like that player. He needs to show more heart than any player on the ice as often as possible because the Devils pay him to do so.
Even on nights when he is physically incapable of dominating a game, he needs to adjust his play to support his teammates. Tonight he looked like he knew he wasn't going to be offensively effective so he did not care. That is inexcusable. The Devils need to take this into consideration when Zach Parise's contract negotiations begin in earnest. Do they want to spend the next 10 years being led by a player who takes nights off? If not, they need to keep Parise, who lays it all out there on every shift, in New Jersey at any cost.
Kovalchuk is a tremendous talent, but it appears both he and his team would be best served if he is not the on-ice leader.

When it was suggested to a seminar this month that challenges in effective preventive cardiology remain like mountains to be climbed, listeners had only to look out the windows to appreciate the simile.
For, outside the place where they were meeting (itself more than a thousand feet above sea level) stand peaks which confronted the earliest explorers of what now is Vermont.
In this setting, at lodges on a mountain road above Stowe, medical investigators, practitioners, and others interested in preventing heart disease, compared notes.
They heard it emphasized that, while a number of personal and environmental factors combining to produce cardiovascular dysfunction now seem to be identified, and still others are suspected, much data important for cause-and-effect determination and prevention of heart disease remain to be compiled.
This information will have to be carefully developed and clearly spelled out, the dean of the host medical school advised. Robert J.

Tribune Chronicle
WARREN - The Mahoning Valley Red Cross has been busy.
Typically, the Red Cross deals with about two fires per week, said Executive Director Karen Conklin, but over the past two weeks they have responded to more than 10. In the last month, they were called to assist victims of more than 15 fires.
These numbers may seem high overall but are common from December to March in what they consider "fire season," Conklin said.
Much of the increase in fires is due to alternative heating sources such as fireplaces and space heaters, she said.
Fact Box
Recent home fires
Jan. 20 - Mother and son die in Jackson house fire.
Jan. 21 - Fire destroys home on Larry Lane in Bazetta.
Jan. 25 - Woman dies in Howland house fire.
Jan. 26 - Condo fire displaces four families in Bazetta.
Jan. 28 - Woman dies in Boardman apartment fire.
Saturday - House fire in Southington causes $25,000 in damage.
Monday - Fire destroys Champion home and damages adjacent daycare.
There is a team of 24 on-call volunteers on the Disaster Action Team who arrive on site when a fire is called in.
One of them, Furman Arvan, said he has been a disaster response volunteer with the Red Cross for the last four to five years. He responded to several recent fires, including the Jan. 21 fire in Bazetta that destroyed the mobile home of a family of four.
After receiving a call from police about the Bazetta fire, the Red Cross dispatched two volunteers to the Larry Lane location. Arvan said when he arrived as a "second responder," he found the police chief, who then directed him to the family that was displaced.
Arvan said he was one of the first people to bring good news to the family - he was able to offer them three nights in a hotel, as is the organization's standard assistance allotment. He was also able to offer them money for food and clothes if necessary.
"We're not an insurance company, but we're there to help them get their head on straight," he said.
Arvan also responded to a fire at the Mill Creek Village Apartments on Jan. 28 in Boardman that claimed the life of Shawna Carney, 45. The blaze also damaged 18 of the 36 units at the complex.
"When you've had a fire, you feel like you've been violated because you're not a fault," he said.
While the Red Cross keeps cases confidential, Debbie Chitester, disaster specialist for the neighboring Akron and Red Cross, said they are still assisting the family.
Chitester said the process of recovering from a fire disaster can vary from a few days to the Red Cross' maximum 30 days. Most of the time it takes about two weeks for families to find a new place to live. Part of Chitester's job is guiding families in their recovery plan.
"I had a man say, 'I've never done this before.' I told him most people haven't," Chitester said.
She uses a national database of cases to continue follow-ups with the displaced families. The Red Cross also offers mental help for those going through traumatic experiences such as fires.
The Red Cross response to the Boardman apartment complex fire was slightly different. Because the organization must comply with national donation procedures, individuals wishing to make monetary donations to the victims of the fire are being referred to the Mahoning Valley United Way, while the Red Cross is keeping a list of individuals who have called in with donations of furniture to determine who will need what.
When the Red Cross becomes aware of a fire that looks like it will take a considerable amount of time to extinguish they will bring a canteen out to the site. Arvan said at the Boardman fire three volunteers provided food and coffee to the firefighters and victims at the site. The Canfield Panera donated the food.
The Red Cross is government-mandated to respond to disasters, though their founding principles do not allow government donations for funds. They rely solely on donations.
Not long after the Larry Lane fire, four more Bazetta families were aided by the Red Cross when a fire broke out Jan. 26 at a condominium on Lakeview Drive. Crews from Howland, Vienna, the Youngstown Air Reserve Base, Mecca, Johnston, Bazetta and Champion assisted.
No one was injured.

Pedicures can be quite tough on a nail tech's body.

The lucrative business that is the video games industry is too huge to deny. There is so much profit to be had that overlooking the medium would be a serious oversight in any mission statement. The ventures are risky and the payout can be plentiful. Finding a balance between the two could prove to be a cash-cow for years to come.
The way the industry is fumbling around connectivity and DLC and DRM and exclusivity will eventually come around to the facets of modern commerce. Think about it; if Wal-Mart is offering a price match to Best Buy who is matching the Target Price that Gamestop matched Amazon on, where the hell are you going to take your cash to? If Steam offers unlimited access to paid titles and Gamefly offers limited access to titles on another paid account, which suits your needs?
The industry has already given us a wink and a nod on where it sees the future of video games; You get a fraction of what you paid for a game in trade. A little better of a fraction if you pay a nominal annual fee to whichever video games proprietor you choose to deal with. As sound of a business plan that it actually is, it probably won't pan out past the handshakes and dead hookers the other industries warned them about.
Frivolous spending and ego all but insure a video games collapse. At least from a shareholder perspective. The industry can't sustain itself on multi-million dollar franchises. NFL 2k5 was more popular than Madden '05 not only because of the price point but because of playability and innovation. EA signed a deal with the NFL that not only limits creativity, it kills the competitive nature in which creativity thrives. Those types of tactics will result in short-term payoff and next to nothing in longevity.
Soon, every gamer will be choosing where they will shop depending on which %5 discount or DLC costume they can get. "Shop here and you will get the new map pack with 'x' amount of dollars spent!"
If we're lucky, gaming journalism will hold these people accountable for the vast responsibility they have to their industry. If not, well, then look forward to more articles on "What If" or "How Andrew Hurt My Feelings Because He Rightfully Thinks I'm A Bad Editor" articles.
I'll be at Applebee's scanning my tattoos for a free appetizer if anyone needs me.

In matters of the heart, it turns out that Justin Long is neither a Mac nor a PC – he's PDG.
"I hate to brag, but I'm pretty damn good," Long tells PEOPLE, "in terms of loyalty and just being there."
Not that he's perfect. "I have a time-management problem that's not very appealing for girls," he says. "I'm not very good with that – I'd say that's definitely a flaw that I'm trying to work on."
And his biggest flaw? "I'm too good a lover," he laughed.
Long, 30, the Mac Guy from the Mac vs. PC commercials who appears in the upcoming horror/comedy flick Drag Me to Hell, has recently been seen again with off-and-on girlfriend Drew Barrymore. Keeping such famous company has made him a paparazzi magnet, and Long admits that handling his increased personal and professional profile is still a learning experience.
"It's created a surreality to my life that I wasn't prepared for," he says. "I'm still trying to figure it out and deal with it and know where to put it in my life."
Having friends who've lived life in the public eye has made it easier to adjust, and not be overly guarded about letting others into his life. "I was fortunate to be close to people who had dealt with it on a much bigger level," he explains. "I have very close friends and I'm close with my family, so I know what it is to trust someone and to allow people in. That's remained more intact. If anything I've gone the other way with it. I've seen this happen to people, I've seen people become corrupted by it, and I know the pitfalls and I'm wary of them."
He also has his Connecticut-based family to keep him grounded when they catch him complaining about the price of fame. "They're like 'Shut up. You're doing really well and you're doing what you love to do, and we're playing Monopoly right now in our living room, so let's leave the Hollywood talk for some other time,'" he says. "It's just something that I'm trying to navigate and it's not the end of the world."
Another reality check came when, even though Long's actress mother worked regularly in commercials, he briefly worried about how signing on to do Apple's now-famous ads might affect his acting career.
"I made the mistake of vocalizing it to a friend," he remembered. "I was like 'Do you think people would lose respect or I'd be a commercial guy or I'd be selling out in any way?' And I'll never forget, my friend who I love goes 'No offense, dude, but what are you selling out? Herbie Fully Loaded? You're not Johnny Depp, all right? So take it easy.' And you need those moments that bring you down to earth."

Storyline Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through director Paul Greengrass's distinctive lens - simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy award®-winner Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.
