About the Team Penning
Team Penning began as a demonstration of ranching skills, and quickly became a popular competitive event. Quick horses, determined riders, and a touch of luck are the main components of a winning team in this sport. Cattle are numbered in groups of three, and each team (consisting of three riders) draws a number. The team then has sixty seconds to cut their three designated cattle out of the herd, drive them down the arena, and confine them in a pen.
Team Penning is a fast-paced and exciting event which always draws a large, enthusiastic crowd. Times of the winning teams are often separated only by fractions of a second. It is one of the fastest growing equine sports, attracting professional riders and trainers, as well as weekend enthusiasts.

In an unusual alliance, conservative Sen. David Vitter is teaming with self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders to block a vote on Ben Bernanke's nomination for a second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Vitter, R-La., and Sanders, who is officially listed as an independent from Vermont, are joined by Sens. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C., in the move against Bernanke. All have said they won't lift their holds until Senate leaders agree to establish congressional audits of the powerful monetary agency.
In opposing the Bernanke nomination, Vitter faulted Bernanke's policies in trying to rescue troubled financial companies.
"Over the past year or so, the Fed has doled out several trillion dollars to any number of troubled institutions through a series of programs that were supposed to turn our economy around," Vitter said. "These programs have worsened our economic crisis by making 'too big to fail' a permanent government policy and created further debt that will now be the burden of our children and grandchildren."
At the very least, Vitter said, the Senate shouldn't vote on Bernanke, who was first appointed by President George W. Bush, until a process is established for audits of the agency.
"We cannot prevent future failures by the Fed until we determine exactly how it operates," Vitter said.
Supporters of Bernanke, including a majority of the Senate Banking Committee, have argued that he helped implement a rescue plan that saved the U.S. economy from even greater problems that could have sent the country into a full-scale depression. They also point to the report Tuesday in The Washington Post that the Federal Reserve generated a profit of $45 billion last year that will be returned to the federal treasury.
Bernanke and former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan have opposed congressional audits of the Fed, arguing it could politicize an institution designed to work independently of Congress and the executive branch.
But in the House, an audit long championed by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate and that body's most libertarian member, has won the support of Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., one of the House's more liberal members.
Some Wall Street analysts have expressed concern that if Bernanke is not confirmed by Feb. 1, when his term expires, it will create uncertainty in markets and cause a drop in stocks.

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

Each day, about 8,000 American children on average are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports- and recreation-related injuries.
"Sports injuries usually occur while children are participating in organized sports competitions, training sessions or other fitness activities," explained Pediatrician Laurie Penix, M.D. "There are two general types of sports injuries in children. The first type is an acute traumatic injury, which usually involves a blow from a single application of force, such as when getting tackled in football or diving for homeplate."
Acute Traumatic Injuries:
- Fracture: A crack, break or shattering of a bone.
- Contusion: A bruise caused by a direct blow, which may cause swelling and bleeding in muscles and other body tissues.
- Strain: A stretch or tear of a muscle or tendon.
Fact Box
Safety Tips
for All Sports
- Get a pre-season physical examination and be in proper physical condition.
- Follow the rules of the sport.
- Wear protective gear and know how to properly use athletic equipment.
- Always warm up before playing and cool-down afterwards.
- Avoid playing when very tired or in pain.
- Maintain proper hydration through intake of adequate water or other liquids.
- Sprain: A stretch or tear of a ligament that supports and strengthens joints.
- Abrasion: A scrape.
- Laceration: A cut in the skin that is usually deep enough to require stitches.
"The second type of sports injury is an overuse or chronic injury," Dr. Penix continued. "Chronic injuries are those that happen over a period of time, and are usually the result of repetitive training, such as running, throwing, or hitting a ball over and over again. If left untreated, a chronic injury will probably get worse over time. Overuse injuries are responsible for nearly half of all sports injuries to middle and high school students."
Overuse Injuries:
- Stress fractures: Tiny cracks in the bone's surface often caused by repetitive overloading, such as continuously jumping on a hard surface.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendon caused by repetitive stretching.
- Epiphysitis or Apophysitis: Growth plate injuries, like Osgood-Schlatter disease.
Sports injuries can occur on many parts of the body, such as the head, back and feet.
Head and Neck Injuries: Head injuries include concussions, contusions, fractures, and hematomas. These types of head and neck injuries occur most often in athletes who participate in contact sports like football, or sports with the potential for falling like horseback riding.
"A concussion is a violent jarring or shock to the head that causes bruising to the brain," Dr. Penix advised. "Concussions can cause lasting or permanent brain damage, especially if a second injury occurs before the brain has had a chance to heal. It is very important that if parents suspect their child has a concussion, the child should not return to play until he or she has been cleared by a medical professional.
"A hematoma is a bleeding or pooling of blood between the tissue layers covering the brain or inside the brain. All of these injuries can be caused by impact to the head from a fall, forceful shaking of the head, a blow to the head or whiplash. Whiplash is an injury to the neck caused by an abrupt jerking motion of the head.
"Neck injuries are among the most dangerous and include strains, fractures, contusions, and sprains. Another very common sports-related neck injury is a stinger or burner from stretched nerves in the neck. Most neck injuries are caused by an impact to the head or neck sustained during a fall or a blow. Too much strain on the neck can also cause an injury that has increasing pain or pain that occurs upon movement."
Back Injuries: Back injuries include sprains, fractures, contusions, stress fractures and strains; and are caused by twists or overexertion of back muscles during bending or lifting movements. These injuries can occur in contact sports like football and hockey, or in other types of sports like weight lifting, skating, gymnastics, baseball and basketball.
Hand and Foot Injuries: Hand, finger, and wrist injuries include fractures, dislocations and sprains; and occur in many sports, like volleyball, baseball, football or hockey. Hand injuries can result from a fall that forces the hand or fingers backward, or from a forceful impact or direct blow to the hands.
Foot injuries are also common since the feet support the body's weight and must absorb a great deal of force. These injuries can include ligament strains, stress fractures, heel bruises and swollen growth plates.
Taking Care of Sports Injuries
One of the first things to do when you suspect your child is injured is to stop playing whatever sport has caused the injury and check with a physician. "Parents are their child's best advocate and should be reminded that if a child appears confused or dazed after a head injury, the child should be immediately removed from play to reduce the risk of a further injury," Dr. Penix concluded. "In addition, if your child experiences pain from an injury that progressively increases with activity or causes swelling, limping, numbness, or loss of flexibility and range of motion, check with a physician as soon as possible."
"It is also helpful for parents to know the difference between soreness and chronic pain. Soreness is temporary, but chronic pain continues over a greater length of time. For example, it's not always necessary to see a doctor right away if your child's knee or shoulder is sore, but you should schedule an appointment if the pain continues to worsen or if it persists for a week or more. The child should also see a doctor if the pain progresses from happening only after playing the sport to occurring during the sport, or if the pain is noticeable when the child wakes up or is doing daily activities."
Pediatrician Laurie Penix, M.D., is affiliated with Salem Community Hospital's active medical staff. Her office is located at the Salem Pediatric Care Center, which is in the Salem Medical Arts Building, Suite C, 2020 East State Street, in Salem, 330-332-0084.

Women's safety a laughing matter
So in India women smokers and drinkers are kind of like a different specie altogether. Men nor women know what to make of them. They are treated like social outcast mostly and a very convenient branding of "loose woman" is given to them. But me being me don't really care about any of this and like my smoke a plenty and my beers chilled. The stereotyping that follows is my own to deal with as the choices I have made are my own. I smoke and drink for that's my choice, not peer pressure. If I quite that shall be my choice too.
A couple of days back I had a long bogus day at work with too much to do in too little time. That too on a Monday. You can imagine the depression I'm sure. Post work I teamed up with a female colleague of mine and dragged our lazy souls to the wine shop just across our office for a pint each before we headed home. It wasn't too late. Just about 6.30 pm so. Once we had made our purchase the wine shop guy told us we could sip away behind the shop. There was a nice big empty place where groups of man had already started the celebration. We picked out corner and joined in.
As expected the men present where quite wide eyed with their new company. Being women in India we both were quite used to the idea of men looking at us with wonder in their eyes. It's like when you stare at something which you are not really sure exists!
But there was this one man. He was not drinking. He was a little far away from the opening meant for drinking. He was 'trying' to buy smokes. When I say trying to buy smokes I mean he was being able to do it. He had been at it for a good amount of 10 minutes. He just couldn't focus on his enterprise because he decided looking at us girls was more important that smoking. Fair enough! But there are stares which just makes a vein pop in your head.
I started observing him. When he didn't stop looking our way after every 2 minute interval, I stared with angry eyes at him. I don't know why that freak thought it would be a good idea to give me an unsure half smile but that's when I lost it. I just bluntly asked him what his problem was and why he kept staring at us. He couldn't believe I had asked him something like that he gave me a blank look and then said slowly - what... no... I was looking at the guys behind you. So I replied - am I transparent? You are looking at them through me? Get the **** out of here.
Well he did. Good. But what wasn't was that everyone present there thought the entire incident was damn funny!
That's the fight. Women can dare to be independent in India. Women can dare to step out at night. Women can dare to smoke and drink and fight for their own choices. But the men of this nation think it's amusing for a woman to be anything but demure and gharelu!

Marcus Delon Wesson (born August 22, 1946) is an American man convicted of nine counts of first-degree murder and 14 sex crimes, including the rape and molestation of his underage daughters. His victims were his own children, fathered by incestuous relationships with his daughters and nieces, as well as the children by his wife.[1][3] He has been described as Fresno's worst mass murderer.[4]
Family life[edit]
|This section includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (November 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Marcus Wesson was born in Kansas to Benjamin and Carrie Wesson and raised as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Wesson claimed that his father was abusive and his mother was a religious fanatic. By the early 1960s, the family had moved to San Bernardino, California. After dropping out of high school, Wesson joined the Army and was stationed in Europe. Shortly after returning to the US and leaving the military, he became involved with Rosemary Solorio, a married woman living in San Jose. Soon Solorio broke up with her husband, and Wesson moved in with her and her children.
In 1971, Solorio gave birth to Wesson's son. At the same time, Wesson was cultivating a relationship with one of Solorio's daughters Elizabeth, telling her that God had chosen her to be his bride. In 1974, at the age of 8, Elizabeth "married" 27-year-old Wesson in a home wedding ceremony. He began sexually abusing her at age 12. At age 15, they married legally when she became pregnant and, four months later, she gave birth to her first child. Eventually the couple had 10 children together, though one died as an infant. One of Elizabeth's younger sisters left her own seven children with them, claiming to be unable to care for them. Wesson never held a steady job; he lived off of welfare, and had his adult children work and give him all of their earnings.[5][6] (In 1989, Wesson was convicted of welfare fraud and perjury.)[7][8][9] The family often lived in run-down shacks, boats, and vacant houses.
Wesson was abusive toward his wife and children. He prevented Elizabeth from participating in the children's upbringing. He homeschooled the children and taught them from his own handwritten Bible that focused on Jesus Christ being a vampire. He told the children that he was God and had them refer to him as "Master" or "Lord". He taught the children to be prepared for Armageddon and that the girls were destined to become Wesson's future wives. He separated the boys from the girls, fearing they would develop sexual feelings for each other. He had the boys stay in a shack in a heavily wooded area and the girls on a rundown boat for several months. Wesson sexually abused two daughters and three nieces, "marrying" in home ceremonies when they were around 7 to 9 years old. Each of the five girls became impregnated as a result of the incest. The mothers never disclosed the paternity of their children because Wesson threatened to harm them and the children if they did so. Court records indicate that Wesson fathered up to 18 children with 7 women, including the five girls.
Prior to March 12, 2004, Wesson had declared his intention to relocate his daughters and their children to Washington state, where Wesson's parents lived.[10] On March 12, 2004, several members of Wesson's extended family, along with two nieces who rebelled against Wesson, converged on his family compound demanding the release of their children by Wesson.[10] Fresno police were summoned to what was described as a child custody issue, and a standoff ensued.[4] Fresno police testified they did not hear gunshots being fired shortly after, though other witnesses present at the standoff testified they did hear gunshots fired at that time.[11] In the aftermath, nine bodies of Wesson's daughters and their children were discovered in a bedroom filled with antique coffins.[10][11] Each victim had been shot through the eye. Wesson's other children, who were not present inside the house, survived the incident.[11]
At his trial the People of Fresno County were represented by Chief Deputy District Attorney, Lisa Gamoian. Wesson was represented by public defenders Peter Jones and Ralph Torres, presented the defense that his 25-year-old daughter Sebhrenah, whose 18-month-old son Marshey (Wesson's own son and grandson) was killed as well, had herself committed the murders, and then subsequently committed suicide.[12] The murder weapon, a .22 caliber handgun, was found with her body, and Sebhrenah's DNA was found on the gun, which lent credence to Wesson's claim.[11] The jury declined to find that Wesson fired the fatal shots, but convicted him of murder anyway, presumably finding that he had persuaded his children to enter into a suicide pact.[12]
Conviction and sentence[edit]
Wesson was convicted of nine counts of first-degree murder on June 17, 2005, and also found guilty on 14 counts of forcible sexual assault and the sexual molestation of seven of his daughters and nieces. Wesson was sentenced to death on June 27, 2005.[13]

Last fall, Lycoming County United Way held the annual campaign kickoff at Loyalsock Township High School.
The students and staff were a great audience and after the program, one student in particular was especially motivated to help her neighbors.
Hayley Haefner, a junior, approached school administrator Christina Herman about how she could get involved. Herman, also member of the LCUW board of directors, agreed to mentor a project with Haefner and a group of students.
"I asked a few friends if they wanted to help, and they all did," explained Hayley. "We got together to talk about what kind of project we wanted to do and we quickly decided on hosting a dance at the school as a fundraiser for United Way."
Hayley's planning committee was made up of students from eighth through 12th grades including Emanuel Finnerty, Danielle Gansel, Brittany Gettinger, Kirsten Girardi, Allen Hafner, Sabrina Soha, Ashley Steiger and Brittany Taylor.
"The students were really a pleasure to work with," said Herman. "They held regular planning meetings and divided up the tasks that needed to be done to organize the event. I think they all learned a lot about working together."
According to the committee, the to-do list included things such as recruiting chaperones and brainstorming on ideas for decorating, food and sponsors. They divided up the responsibilities and the event came together as planned in December.
"We had announcements on the school PA every day so everyone knew what we were planning. We held the dance in the school cafeteria right after school so that it was convenient for students to attend," Hayley said. "We charged $2 for admission or $1 along with a donated food item."
The students made snowflakes for decor and prepared food for snacks along with having local businesses like Giant and Weis donate gift cards for food. A middle school teacher filled the role of disc jockey to keep costs down, and Accent Lighting and FastSigns donated products and services.
"As part of the project, we also wanted to help people in our community who are facing hunger and homelessness," added Hayley. "So we collected food items at the dance and donated them to the American Rescue Workers in addition to the admission fee being donated to United Way. I learned a lot from the United Way assembly last fall about how there are a lot of people right here in our community that need help so I was happy to be able to do this."
"Hayley was so passionate about this fundraiser, and it was really heart-warming to see the other students so eager to help," Herman concluded. "I am very proud of them for all of the hard work they put into this."
While the students were not required to do the project, they did earn hours toward the school's Silver Cord program - a distinguished award available to high school students with the purpose of recognizing their out-of-school volunteer efforts. Students who complete the required 100 volunteer service hours will be recognized at their graduation by wearing a silver cord with their cap and gown.
"We believe it is important to encourage student involvement in the community and cultivate a sense of social responsibility," said Loyalsock Township superintendent Robert Grantier. "United Way often reminds us all to 'think we before me' and at our school, we couldn't agree more."
"The purpose of conducting our campaign kick-off program at Loyalsock last fall was in part to engage the students and create awareness of the importance of volunteering and helping others. There is a perception that many of today's young people are 'me-me first,' without much regard to the community around them," said Scott N. Lowery, LCUW executive director. "The students at Loyalsock certainly dispelled that notion. We are grateful for their interest in helping us help others and appreciate the interest and energy they put into the dance project."
"LCUW funds more than 40 human service programs in Lycoming County that are focused on nurturing our children, serving those with special needs, caring for people in crisis, supporting our seniors, and strengthening our families," added Lowery. "We couldn't do that without the support of countless volunteers and donors like our friends at the Loyalsock Township School District."

SPRINGFIELD — A backyard shooting session Tuesday night led to a full response from the Union County SWAT team and the arrest of two men on various charges, authorities said this evening.
Timothy Penna, 42, of Springfield, and Matthew McDarby, 44, of Bridgewater, were arrested after they fired about 15 rounds from a .45 semiautomatic handgun off Penna's deck at various objects in the backyard, including a metal birdfeeder, said Lt. Judd Levenson, a spokesman for the Springfield Police Department.
A woman and a 4-year-old child were inside Penna's home when the men were arrested, Levenson said, though they were not there when the men allegedly shot up the backyard.
Police responding to reports of gunshots at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday found McDarby on the deck of Penna's Tooker Place home. McDarby ran inside the house after police noticed shell casings, Levenson said.
When the police cruiser's public address system failed to bring the men out of the house, Springfield Chief John Cook called in the Union County SWAT Team, Levenson said.
A man who identified himself as Penna's father intervened, and successfully talked his son out of his house, police said. But McDarby remained inside despite numerous attempts to get him to come out, Levenson said.
Authorities said the SWAT team entered the home and found McDarby in the basement, where he was arrested.
"Consumption of alcoholic beverages had to do a lot with what transpired," Levenson said. He said local residents were never in jeopardy.
Additional investigation found that McDarby accidentally discharged a gun in the kitchen after the men had fired off the deck, Levenson said.
Police recovered three .45 semiautomatic handguns, all legally purchased and registered.
Penna was charged with one count of maintaining a public nuisance creating a dangerous condition, one count of disorderly conduct, and two township ordinance violations relating to firing of firearms within Springfield.
McDarby was charged with one count of obstruction of justice and one disorderly conduct. He also received the township violations.
The men will make their first appearance in municipal court on April 22.

|« Ethiopia -Ethiopian Airlines Plans $10 billion in annual revenue in 2025
|On this Date in 1930 Haile Selassie was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia »
Chinese Company to open a $67 million leather factory in Ethiopia
China's Xinxiang Kuroda Mingliang Leather Co is set to open a $67 million leather factory in Ethiopia on November 24, Bloomberg news reports quoting a statement from Chinese embassy in Ethiopia.
The company financed 55% of the project while the remainder coming from the China-Africa Development Fund. the report said.
Ethiopia is increasingly looking towards China for development partnerships as the country has become one of the major investors in Ethiopia. China's ZTE Corp. lent $1.5 billion in 2008 for Ethiopian Telecommunication Corp. to upgrade its infrastructure, while other companies have helped build hydroelectric plants, the ring-road around Addis Ababa and the part-completed African Union Conference Center.
"Ethiopia is the best example to refute some of the criticism of China being in Africa only for resources," Chinese ambassador to Ethiopia was quoted as saying. "It has got nothing, but we are coming to their needs."
User ratings
"It has got nothing, but we are coming to their needs."
WOW!! And some blame Al Amoudi for nothing.
Oh this is not good. Another balame will come from Human Rights Watch as EPRDF keeps strengthening its relation with China. Believe me HRW will be so annoyed and will figure out something to blackmail Ethiopia.
It is GOOD. ONLY beggers who oppose the deal. We need more chines and far easterns campany and NOT OXFAM,USAID or those beggers charity.
I am for The Chinese, let them come to Ethiopia (I am not talking about Africa as a whole)and do buisness.
That said, they (i.e. Chinese ambassador to Ethiopia) got to stop lying: "It has got nothing, but we are coming to their needs."
keep up mama ethiopia you have a bright future just infront of you,what all your enemy have barked,what your bud thinkers are dreamed,let them forget but you simply forward. vivas ethiopia and ethiopian, viva china and chainis.
wow long live ethiopia
While the diaspora community is whining about Woyane, the Chinese and the Indians are taking over Ethiopia.
Hello my fellow diaspora: Go fight Woyane or invest in Ethiopia….talk is cheap!
let the talkers talk and the makers make.
the best say of the day.
That is the end of Ethiopain endogenous leather industry.
The Chinese will kill it and will monopolize the industry;will hire Chinese laborers and export made in Ethiopia to the US/EU but will take the profit back.
How does this help Ethiopia?
Leather industry is one of the areas the endogenous industry is doing well,why not help them than kill them?
Chinese are dying to copy America and we are dying to copy China. But the man landed in the moon isn't Chinese! Although it is not perfect American system achieved in less than 200 years what is impossible for Chinese in 5000 years! !!
Tamagn Beyene will soon lead another demonstration outside the Chineese Embassy to burn the Chineese flag while Alemayehu G/Mariam is dusting his computer for next Sunday's article condemning China's presence in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia shall prosper!!
you are right Wollo another balame will come from Human Rights Watch as EPRDF keeps strengthening its relation with China. George SOROS will be so annoyed and will order his 'NGO' HRW to figure out something to blackmail Ethiopia.
We, the lazy a$$ habeshas need to learn hard work from the Chinese. Most habeshas spend 8hrs to complete a 2hrs task. The Chinese can teach us… Let them come. The West don't want Africa to develop and become self sufficient. The Chinese have contributed so much in helping develop Africa in past 10 years than what the West have done in the past 100 years.
let hundreds of factories flourish.
Arsi, very smart assessment. Here in the U.S. I know habeshas that chew chat all day and work security guard at night for 3 days and complain. In U.S.A where Mexicans have 3 to 4 full time job. Not the old generation they work hard, it is the new generation that are lazy. All they want to do is chew chat and watch T.V. so I say let them come and invest. If we can't do it let someone else do it. land yezo kuche malete mend new tikmu. Until we change our ways of being lazy let whoever who is willing to work invest. Diaspora yezorebet hizb new including me. Since we are not prospering we do not want anyone to prosper and be better than us, hence the reason we complain. Alebela ena ayeblew mentality we have is killing us. Food for thought. We in general don't like to see people succeed and if they do we say hodam…very funny. Al and his followers (dummy disciples) the reason they complain and call investors hodam is funny to me. How are they hodam when they work hard to better their life.

Alain Vigneault continues to tinker with his lineup in an effort to create some offensive cohesion as he'll go with this group of 12 forwards tonight against the Islanders…
Boyle-D. Moore-Dorsett
…i like a lot of what AV is trying to do here. Makes sense to get a playmaker like Zuccarello on Nash's opposite wing in an attempt to jump start the big guy.
…i'm also a fan of seeing the young Miller alongside a veteran like Richards. Hoping that they both rub off on each other.
AV discussed the changes after this morning's practice (via Blueshirts United)…
"J.T. has been playing real well at both ends of the rink (in Hartford) and they've been using him at center, so we thought it might be a good time to give him a look. I'm hoping that (Richards) and J.T. might have a little bit of chemistry there. I'm hoping that the veteran will rub off on the younger player..and it'll be the start of something real positive."
He added this on Nash…
"I think (Nash) is real close. Obviously he wants to produce more than he has, but he's getting some good looks. There's no doubt in my mind that his will is there. It's a matter of just staying with it."
Henrik Lundqvist will make his eighth straight start.
…not sure I agree with this decision. Islanders have been struggling and Talbot has proved to be a very capable backup. Can't overwork Hank in December, because it will ultimately wear him down in March and April. Especially during an Olympic year.
Remember to follow me on Twitter & Facebook or e-mail me at email@example.com.

: I think what he'd prefer is something like the TypeSafeJdbcWrapper.
class Blah{ private String toStringMethod = "toString"; public String toString(); }Now, I point my editor at 'public String toString()' and change it to 'public String returnLocalizedMessage()'. Does the compiler have much chance of getting this right?
class Blah{ private Closure toStringMethod = new Closure(){ Object perform(){ return toString(); } }; public String toString(); }...for instance, doesn't suffer from this problem. I know where you're coming from. I was taught that view at college, when one of the goals was to make the language responsible for detecting problems. My first instructor bragged about how close they were in the research department to making a computer language that didn't allow you to write bugs. That was 20 years ago. Now I just test anything that can break and I don't need all that language enforcement. If you test anything that can break, accidental changes to strings will be detected by them. Life is easier that way. I think I'm still not quite coming across... it's not that I don't test these things, I use Strings all the time for some things. I don't like how I can't talk about java's first class elements without using a String though, because then I can't be lazy about changing a name - you can no longer write a generalize algorithm to do a generic boring task. And I think that smells. To be honest, I regret starting this page the way I did, because I'm not against using Strings. I'm against using them as a substitute for good language decisions. It's a OnceAndOnlyOnce thing. Maybe it's just me and the domains I've worked in. I don't worry about using plain old SQL queries when I can get away with it. I don't miss the ability to rename methods when some of the behavior is in SQL strings. There's usually one place that talks to the database and one instance of each term that might be a method name. I think OnceAndOnlyOnce minimizes the benefit of method rename refactoring, and even minimizes the need for compile time type checking.
{ AnObject anObject = ...; AList aResult = DataBase.query(anObject, "toString()"); }This is bad. Really bad. "toString()" doesn't have any semantic meaning to the compiler. I want to write this instead:
{ AnObject anObject = ...; AList aResult = ((Proxy) ((AnObject) DataBase.query(anObject)).toString()).$getList(); }A little bit longer, true, but now the compiler/runtime knows what I'm doing. We can refactor using language aware tools without fear that they don't understand the quoting of methods. And it isn't all bad... consider parameters:
{ AnObject aParameter = ...; AnObject anotherParameter = ...; AnObject anObject = ...; AList aResult = DataBase.query(anObject, "toString()", new Object[]{aParameter, anotherParameter}); }Consider the possibilities: runtime class cast exceptions cannot be ruled out by the compiler!
{ AnObject aParameter = ...; AnObject anotherParameter = ...; AnObject anObject = ...; AList aResult = ((Proxy) ((AnObject) DataBase.query(anObject)).toString(aParameter, anotherParameter)).$getList(); }Still a bit longer, but we get compile time checking for most parameters now. We start gaining ground once we have more complex queries though... because all calls to a Proxy will return an appropriately typed Proxy... we only have to convert back to a list when we want the results. And we can cache the Proxies and reuse them... the setup is a one time thing for the most part. Note: I have nothing against language which allow you to directly talk about their parts. I wish java did understand during compile/runtime that "toString()" will be referencing that particular method. But it doesn't. -- WilliamUnderwood p.s., please be exceedingly rude in pointing out flaws in my train of thought... altough I do have a working version of this, it was written after a good nights sleep. I haven't had one of those in a few days now (forget the 40 hour work week... I need to get away from the 40 hour work day first!). p.p.s, for those looking at the wiki source, please leave the things like A"""List... I know they're not strictly necessary, but it's one less thing to go wrong when somebody changes it to MySpecialList? (see the problem?)
public MyType getMyType( String theNameOfTheThingToGet );Let's say for there are (currently) four possible String's values to pass in: "Foo", "Bar", "Fubar", and "Snafu" This give us four "effective method names":
public MyType getMyType-Foo(); public MyType getMyType-Bar(); public MyType getMyType-Fubar(); public MyType getMyType-Snafu();That could be implemented as four separate "real" methods:
public MyType getFoo(); public MyType getBar(); public MyType getFubar(); public MyType getSnafu();If fact, the latter would even allow different return types for each method. At this time, the code-struture in Java and something dynamically-typed like Smalltalk or Python would look pretty much the same. What if we now need to add a new "name-of-something" - say, "Ugh"? In a statically-typed language, we need to expand the interface and add a new method:
public MyType getUgh();Then we need to go and implement it in all implementor classes. But how do we handle the case where one of those classes doesn't give a hoot about "Ugh"? Not pretty (ex. use a base class that implements every method in the interface in some "default" way, and derive every concrete class from that). In a dynamically-typed environment we just implement an additional method on the concrete class(es) that care, and don't worry about it in any place where doesn't (and, of course, unit-test all our modified classes to make sure they respond correctly to the new method). Similarly, in our original interface (remember, the one with a String parameter?), we could do exactly the same thing in Java as our dynamic friends; have the classes (or even the instances! ust like adding a method to an instance in Python) that care respond to the new "effective method name": getMyType-Ugh() Granted, there are perhaps better types to use for the "theNameOfTheThingToGet" (for example, a TypeSafeEnum? instead of a String), but I think the basic analogy is fair - or not? -- GeoffSobering This problem was solved many years ago in the Lisp world by using symbols and multiple namespaces. It was also solved in SmallTalk, Python, and a host of other dynamically-typed languages, too (more recently, for sure). My point is that using "magic strings" as a method-signature extender can be thought of as a mechanism (poor as it may be) to gain some of the benefit of dynamic-binding in a statically-bound language. Obviously, if your problem-domain is completely (or mostly) composed of entities that don't map cleanly to static-types, you probably should choose a dynamically-typed language from the start. However, if your domain has only a small number of dynamic elements mixed into a largely static set of entities (or if you're trapped in a static language for non-design reasons), then the above technique may be helpful. -- GeoffSobering The best dynamic languages pretty much treat everything as a string. Hybrid-typing systems like PHP are too problematic IMO. The drawback is that comparison operators need to be clear about whether they are comparing as string or numbers, but this is good IMO. You don't have to back up to look to find their type to know. IOW, I don't like polymorphic comparisons, at least not in scripting languages. No they don't. The best dynamic languages have types, SmallTalk, Lisp, Python, Ruby, all have types, they don't treat everything as a string. Dynamic Typing simply means the types are checked at runtime, rather than compile time. Scripting languages are the kings of polymorphism, they do it better, and make use of it more often than most static languages, so your point was what? I think you misread the above paragraph. It said the "best" languages, not necessarily all dynamic languages. It was a value judgement, not an assessment of all dynamic languages. As a value judgement, it's not very helpful unless you give us some reason why you think they're the best. Offhand, I don't think I've ever used a single scripting language that used a string for everything. Maybe TCL. But Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Lisp, Smalltalk, Self, and all their variants all have types. -- JonathanTang Python fakes it well, but all member-lookups in Python are really just string-based hashtable access. foo.bar() is really foo.__type__.__dict__["bar"](foo) in Python. You can even override getattr and setattr so that ["bar"] is doing something else. The original scripting language: shell.
const char *kSalary = "salary"; // etc.Later:
int salary = record.getMonetaryField(kSalary);Also, database abstractions like HiberNate have alternate ways to specify queries. QueryByExample for instance. Also by composing query criteria objects. Seems a lot less error prone than concatenating a gnarly SQL query string. -- IanOsgood I haven't had many problems with frameworks that don't completely hide the SQL. I find it gives me the best of both worlds: automating the repetitous parts of SQL, but still allowing one to use a somewhat natural form of RelationalAlgebra instead of the verbose, hard-to-read "new-dot-new" pattern described in ExpressionApiComplaints. Plus, the frameworks/utils don't have to completely cover everything SQL syntax does (if even possible) because they are not trying to be a total wrapper, but merely helpers. This probably reduces their size by a small fraction of a pure wrapper. Plus, I often test direct SQL anyhow. If I had to use new-dot-new, I'd have to rewrite it. And, tools like HyberNate? have their own learning curves and gotcha's. (EditHint: perhaps the above should be moved to an SQL-wrapper-specific topic.)

Spending power of thousands of federally employed central Pennsylvania residents took a serious plunge beginning this week. But the immediate local economic impact is more of a ripple than a crash.
It quickly reached Bangkok Wok, located just outside the gate of the sprawling Navy Depot in Mechanicburg, where about 3,500 employees began taking the first of 11 furlough days this week.
Owner Chuck Martz noticed the drop in business on the first furlough day Monday. "There's definitely a direct relationship. There's a trickle effect through the economy," he said.
A few doors down the strip mall, Anna Epifanotto of Amici Pizza and Restaurant said, "We're gonna feel it."
Yet many other businesses said they haven't noticed any decline, and aren't sure if they will.
"We haven't noticed anything. I don't know how much business we get from there," said Todd Sollenberger, a manager at Carpet & Tile Mart, located just down the Carlisle Pike from the Navy operation.
The furloughs are part of the federal sequestration and the effort to find $500 billion in U.S. Department of Defense budget cuts. Federal employees across the country must take 11 unpaid furlough days between now and September.
That equates to a 20 percent income cut between now and September, and a 4 percent cut for the year.
According to the Associated Press, a federal employee earning $40,000 per year will lose $600 per month between now and September; someone earning $100,000 will lose $1,600 per month.
In addition to Carlisle and Mechanicsburg, thousands more central Pennsylvania federal employees at military installations at New Cumberland, Chambersburg and Fort Indiantown Gap are enduring the furloughs.
A man who emailed The Patriot-News/PennLive described the situation of his daughter, a single mother who works at Carlisle Barracks and earns less than $30,000. He said she must choose between car payments, housing payments and food for herself and her child.
He fears damage to her credit rating and the subsequent future drain of higher interest rates. "This is about the worst thing that our current administration has mandated to date. It would be different if it would balance the budget. The money saved will never benefit the people who had it taken away," he wrote.
On PennLive, kipper commented, "My husband is a federal worker who has to deal with 11 furlough days. I'm using more coupons for groceries and such. We've stopped eating out as much, and we're definitely spending less."
MtDewisGood wrote, "My spouse and I both work for the Fed. Talk about a major hit to our finances. Going to be very rough the rest of the summer."
But how rough it will be for local businesses who depend federal workers' spending is hard to ascertain, at least for now.
An employee of a tire and automotive business that draws heavily on Navy Depot employees said he's seen no drop in business, nor has he heard from customers who are putting off repairs or purchases.
It was the same at a similar business in Carlisle near the Carlisle Barracks and U.S. Army War College, where nearly 700 employees are dealing with the furlough days.
A manager of a food and beer takeout business across the street from the Army facility gate said, "I've heard people talking about it but it doesn't seem to be affecting our business."
Assorted business owners interviewed Thursday noted that July is traditionally slow, making it hard to notice any drop that might be related to furloughs.
"It doesn't feel any different right now that it does in any July," said Pat Craig of Pat Craig Studios, a downtown Carlisle business that deals in art, jewelry and picture framing.
Nick Mauldin, owner of Redd's Smokehouse BBQ in Carlisle said, "People have to eat."
He expressed confidence in the face of furloughs, noting his eatery strives to provide a meal such as a rack of ribs for little more than it would cost to prepare at home.
He added, "You have to anticipate there will be economic downturns from time to time."
Still, a few merchants, at mention of the furloughs, spoke not of impact on their bottom line, but of their view that government employees have long been insulated from financial pressure felt by most everyone else.
"I feel bad for them. It's an adjustment. But welcome to the real world," said Pam Fleck, owner of American Artisan Gallery in Carlisle.

WBB Closes Out Regular Season at Toledo Wednesday
Ball State vs.
Wednesday, 7 p.m. (EST)
John F. Savage Arena (Capacity 7,300)
Internet: www.ballstatesports.com
Radio: WERK (104.9 FM) - Jay Garrison
WCRD (91.3) FM - Chris Renkal, Zach Huffman and Brad Huber
What's On Tap: Ball State is coming off of a 60-46 win against Western Michigan March 3 in Worthen Arena. With the victory over the Broncos, the Cardinals have clinched the automatic bye to the 2013 Mid-American Conference Tournament in Cleveland for the first time since 2009. The Cardinals have swept four conference series this season with two wins over Northern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan and Western Michigan. Ball State has only lost to one team this season in the MAC West Division and that was a 68-64 loss to league leader Toledo, Feb. 10. The Cardinals close out their regular season against the Rockets Wednesday at 7 p.m. in John Savage Arena. Ball State enters the contest with an overall record of 15-13 and a 12-3 league mark. Toledo recently took down Eastern Michigan 48-38 March 3 to secure the outright MAC regular-season crown. The Rockets are 26-2 overall and 14-1 in MAC action.
About Toledo: The Rockets cut down the nets in Savage Arena. Toledo secured a 48-38 victory over Eastern Michigan on Sunday to clinch the overall Mid-American Conference regular-season title, as well as secure the top seed in the upcoming MAC Tournament. UT is on a 14-game win streak. The only two schools in the MAC West Division to come close to beating Toledo was Northern Illinois (44-42) Jan. 26 and Ball State (68-64) Feb. 10. The Rockets are led by Naama Shafir (12.6 ppg), Andola Dortch (11.4 ppg) Yoland Richardson (9.2 ppg) and Inma Zanoguera (9.2 ppg). Richardson leads defensively with 6.9 rebounds per contest.
The Coaches: Ball State head coach Brady Sallee is in his first season at Ball State. Sallee's career coaching record is 151-122 and he is 15-13 overall and 12-3 in the MAC with the Cardinals. He was named the 11th head women's basketball coach in Ball State history May 10. During his tenure at Eastern Illinois, Sallee posted a 136-109 career record. He led the Panthers to the institution's first-ever Ohio Valley Conference title during the 2009-10 campaign. In 2011-12, Eastern Illinois was 22-9 overall, posted a 13-3 OVC mark and competed in the Women's National Invitation Tournament. Tricia Cullop was named the Toledo head women's basketball coach April, 28, 2008. After four season, Cullop and her squad have participated in postseason play three times including a 2011 WNIT championship banner, two MAC regular-season titles and four MAC West Division crowns. Cullop is in her fifth season at the helm of the Rockets and owns a career overall record of 121-42 and a 63-15 conference mark.

Reiser, Martin
Martin Reiser received his doctorate in physics in 1960 from the Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz in Germany with experimental studies on the design of the sector-focusing cyclotron for the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center. From 1961 to 1964 he was Assistant Professor in the Physics Department of Michigan State University and co-designer of the MSU cyclotron. In 1965, he joined the University of Maryland as Associate Professor, with a joint appointment in the Electrical Engineering Department and the Department of Physics, and he has been a Full Professor there since 1970. He founded the Charged Particle Beam Research Group and was co-founder of the University of Maryland's Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics (IREAP), established in 1979 (with a different name then).
Martin Reiser's experimental and theoretical research is in the area of charged particle beam physics and accelerator design. His research work and interests range from cyclotrons and collective accelerators (in the sixties and seventies) to advanced accelerator applications (in the years since 1975) in high-energy physics, the energy field (e.g., heavy ion inertial fusion), material science, and in other areas. A major focus of the research with his graduate students and collaborators in Europe and the USA is the physics of space charge dominated beams and sources of beam quality deterioration due to mismatch, lack of thermal equilibrium, nonlinear forces, instabilites, dispersion, and other effects. The experiments are performed with low-energy electron beams, and the results, which are scalable to ion accelerators and transport systems, are used to check theory and particle simulation codes. The current major new project is the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), conceived by Martin Reiser about 10 years ago. It permits the study of beams ranging from space charge dominated to temperature dominated conditions and was commissioned in May 2005.
Professor Reiser is author or co-author of more than 300 research papers, co-editor of two books, and the author of the book Theory and Design of Charged Particle Beams published in 1994 (Wiley and Sons), with second printing in 1996 (see errata) and third printing scheduled for 2005. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and of the IEEE, recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Senior U.S. Scientist Award, 1992, and of the 2003 U.S. Particle Accelerator School Prize for Achievements in Accelerator Physics and Technology. He has served on numerous national and international committees and was Chair of the Executive Committee of the APS Division of Physics of Beams (DPB), from May 1997 to April 1998. From May 1998 to May 2000 he has been President of the Washington DC Chapter of the Alexander von Humboldt Association of America.

An NL team won the title for the third straight season, a run that hadn't occurred in 30 years. Some find the streak surprising, considering the AL's recent dominance in interleague play. Yet as every fan knows, the club that pitches best in the postseason usually prevails.
Until the end, the Tigers thought one big hit could shift the momentum. It was an all-too-familiar October lament -- Texas felt the same way when the Giants throttled it in 2010, and the Tigers knew the feeling when St. Louis wiped them out in 2006.
"For one, we didn't allow doubt to ever creep in," Pence said. "You know, the thing that made this team so special is just playing as a team, caring for each other. We had our backs against the wall and we knew it wasn't going to be easy. It's not supposed to be."
Howling winds made it feel much colder than the 44 degrees at gametime. Two wrappers blew across home plate after leadoff man Angel Pagan struck out, and fly balls played tricks in the breeze.
The Giants started with their pregame ritual. They clustered around Pence in the dugout, quickly turning into a bobbing, whooping, pulsing pack, showering themselves with sunflower seeds. A big league good-luck charm, Little League style.
"That was one of our mottos, and we went out there to enjoy every minute of it and it was hard earned. Just an incredible, incredible group of guys that fought for each other," Pence said.
Once again, San Francisco took an early lead. Pence hit a one-hop drive over the center-field fence for a double and Brandon Belt tripled on the next pitch for a 1-0 lead in the second.
The next inning, Cabrera gave the Tigers a reason to think this might be their night.
With two outs and a runner on first, Cabrera lofted an opposite-field fly to right -- off the bat, it looked like a routine out shy of the warning track. But with winds gusting over 25 mph, the ball kept carrying, Pence kept drifting toward the wall and the crowd kept getting louder.
Just like that, it was gone.
Cabrera's homer gave Detroit its first lead of the Series, ended its 20-inning scoreless streak and reaffirmed a pregame observation by Tigers Hall of Famer Al Kaline.
"The wind usually blows to right at this time of year," Kaline said.
In the fourth, Max Scherzer and catcher Gerald Laird teamed on a strike 'em out-throw 'em out double play.
Trailing for the first time since Game 4 of the NLCS, Posey and the Giants put a dent in Detroit's optimism. Scutaro led off the sixth with a single and clapped all the way around the bases when Posey sent a shot that sailed just inside the left-field foul pole for a 3-2 lead.
Detroit wasn't about to go quietly, however. Young, the ALCS MVP against the Yankees, made it 3-all with another opposite-field homer to right, this one a no-doubt drive.
Fielder finished 1 for 14 (.071) against the Giants without an RBI. Minus key hits, the Tigers remained without a title since 1984.All 24 teams to take a 3-0 lead in the World Series have won it all.
In fact, none of those matchups even reached a Game 6. This was the first sweep for an NL team since Cincinnati in 1990.
Working on nine days' rest and trying to extend the Tigers' season, Scherzer kept them close into the seventh. Often recognized for his eyes -- one is light blue, the other is brown -- he's also known as a solid postseason pitcher.
Ditto-plus for Matt Cain, who was working on a nearly perfect year.
The Giants' ace threw a perfect game in June, was the winning pitcher in the All-Star Game in July, beat Cincinnati to clinch the division series and topped St. Louis in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series.
After they left, the relievers decided it.
Octavio Dotel shouted, "Yeah! Let's go!" toward his dugout after striking out Posey to end the eighth. In the bottom half, winning pitcher Jeremy Affeldt got around a leadoff walk when he struck out Cabrera, a flinching Fielder and Young.
Coke returned the favor in the top of the ninth, fanning the side. With Jose Valverde having lost his closer role during a shaky month, Coke stayed in for the 10th and faltered.
The Giants became the first champion that hit the fewest home runs in the majors since St. Louis in 1982. Sandoval's three drives in Game 1 started San Francisco's romp, and its dominant pitching took over from there.
The parade to a sweep masked the problems San Francisco overcame to get this far.

Show gives artists an opportunity to break out
Kate Voegele knows a thing or two about the "One Tree Hill" bump.
Prior to appearing on the show in February, the artist was selling around 200 to 500 units a week of her MySpace Records release "Don't Look Away." After the first week she appeared on "One Tree Hill," Voegele sold 10,167 units — a whopping increase of 2,000% or more.
"It was massive," says Voegele's manager, Debbie Wilson. "Radio stations have been calling. Her shows are packed with 'One Tree Hill' fans. They're going online, checking her music out, they're liking it and buying it."
Now in its fifth season, "One Tree Hill" continues to embrace music to help tell its stories — with a particular focus on up-and-coming artists like Voegele. That music-driven mantra comes from "One Tree Hill" creator-exec producer Mark Schwahn and fellow EP Joe Davola — an MTV vet.
Both are big music fans — so much so that each episode is named after song or album titles, and each also ends with a musical coda.
"I've said from day one we can do more with the right melody and lyrics than we can do with pages and pages of dialogue," Schwahn notes. "When we find the right music to fill in the blanks with the right melody or sweeping chorus, I think the show is at its best."
Davola says he believes "TV is the new radio" — and Schwahn adds that, in this case, the show is "beholden to no one. We don't have a playlist we have to follow."
That passion dates back to the start of the show, when Davola played an album by Gavin DeGraw for Schwahn. DeGraw's "I Don't Wanna Be" was eventually picked as the "One Tree Hill" theme song.
"One Tree Hill" also has helped goose interest in performers such as the Wreckers and Tyler Hilton.
In exchange for a discount in publishing or mastering fees, "One Tree Hill" promotes the songs and artists featured on the show.
"The record companies have to know how valuable that ad card is," Schwahn says.
Schwahn and Davola take particular delight in breaking new artists, but the show has also featured plenty of tracks from vets like Sheryl Crow. In one coup, Schwahn was able to secure the rights to a Led Zeppelin song after writing an impassioned letter to the band.
So far, there's one track that's proved elusive for Schwan: U2's "One Tree Hill."
"I'd love to use it in our final coda," he says. "We've put feelers out."
Of course, U2 doesn't need the push. But for an artist like Voegele, the exposure is career-changing.
Schwahn says he doesn't generally add music or cast performers on the show to help their sales, but in the case of Voegele, he made an exception. The artist was brought on to appear in a multiepisode arc, playing a singer-songwriter who winds up being managed by one of the show's characters.
The boost was immediate — but no surprise to Wilson, who had managed DeGraw back when "One Tree Hill" first launched, and already had experienced the power of the show.
"When I heard that they were looking for a young artist who can sing beautifully and also play the guitar, I sent her to the audition," Wilson says. "I've always been a firm believer of putting artists on shows."
Now that Voegele has received that exposure, she's getting plenty of acting offers — but Wilson says the artist is focusing on her music and plans to spend most of this year on tour.
"I hope Kate sells a bunch of records," Schwahn says. "I think the fans are embracing it because it does fit. We're rooting for her."

What You Need to Know About HIV and AIDS Drugs
Treatment with HIV-AIDS drugs is known as antiretroviral therapy (ART). People on antiretroviral therapy use a combination of HIV medicines called ARVs, which includes three HIV drugs from at least two distinct drug classes. The drugs work by inhibiting the replication of the HIV in the body, thereby enabling the immune system to redesign itself and prevent further damage.
HIV is treated using a combination of ARVs. This is because the virus quickly adapts and becomes resistant to a single ARV. Different individuals require different HIV drugs. Some antiretroviral drugs have been fused into one pill making it possible for people diagnosed with HIV to take only a single pill or two pills a day.
The AIDS drugs are not the conventional medicines that are taken during the ailing period. Once you start using them, you can't stop for the rest of your life.
