The Onion – Cardinals Apologize For Winning World Series
The Onion has a very amusing story – Cardinals Apologize for Winning World Series.
I apologize for my lack of posting but I had to report to Jury Duty last Tuesday and had the bad luck of being assigned to a trial that was scheduled to last 7-8 days but now seems like it may last longer than that. So I am at the courthouse all day and trying to do a little work in the evenings so I don't fall terribly behind at work. At least the case is interesting and I am enjoying the company of my fellow jurors. TV lies, though – that "Order" part of Law and Order takes way longer than 30 mins.

la russa get a life you won the world series nd you are apologizing come on…….Be happy
Kaylee, The Onion is a satirical newspaper – the story is just a joke and Tony didn't really apologize
One of the things I like about driving my daughter to UW Madison, and now my son to Marquette is picking up the Onion. I had never seen the on-line Sports version.
So in that spirit, here is an "Onionized" David Eckstein quote: "I just don't know what happened. I wasn't trying to get all those hits. But their centerfielder falls down on one, and the ball hits the other guy's glove, and there is that infield thing. I think on of those guys really deserved the car, not me. It's OK I guess, but now I have to learn to drive a stick shift and everything. What a pain!"

This week's reviews: '3 Days to Kill,' 'Pompeii' and 'In Secret'
The Columbus Dispatch - February 21, 2014 09:42 AM
Juxtapositions are the key element that makes 3 Days To Kill work. The vehicle, directed by the mysteriously named McG, tells story of a hitman (Kevin Costner) who is terminally ill. He struggles with fatherhood issues while trying to execute his unfortunate victims in Paris.
The Luc Besson script plays off the silly contrasts between a guy who kills people for a living while at the same time being a family man coming to grips with his life and his pending mortality. While these disparate elements work well at times, they also fall flat at others, according to critic Roger Moore.
However, despite the somewhat insane premise and messy organization, 3 Days to Kill should keep the audience interested.
"Daft and sloppy as it is, 3 Days rarely fails to be entertaining," Moore said in his review. "From the bike-riding lessons on Montmartre to the dopey interrogation of the Italian 'Accountant,' interrupted for a marinara-sauce recipe, it is all part and parcel of the madness of Besson: From Paris With Love filtered through McG and slapping a new stamp of 'cool' on aging Oscar winner Costner."

After taking on crime drama, pulp novelization, blaxploitation, samurai swordplay, grindhouse, and even war films, Quentin Tarantino set his sights on another classic genre to give it his unique sense of spin: the Western.
Just before the American Civil War, former dentist Dr. King Shultz (Christoph Waltz) acquires the assistance of a slave named Django (Jamie Foxx). The deal is simple: if Django can identify three men on the run from the law, he will be set free upon their death or capture and a few dollars in his pocket. As it turns out, however, Django has a natural skill for bounty hunting. After the two become good friends, Dr. Shultz agrees to help Django find and free his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), but to do so, they'll have to spirit her away from a ruthless plantation owner named Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), a Southerner who does not like to lose.
Writer/director Quentin Tarantino has never shied away from controversial subject matter. In fact, he seems to seek it out, intent in making films however he sees fit and to provoke a reaction that "safe" filmmakers actively avoid. Django is a buddy flick and revenge film driven by love and fueled by farce, a dangerous mix that proves entertaining all the way around. As usual, it's a character piece, but that doesn't mean the plot doesn't have its twists and turns. After deadly serious films like Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds, there is an underlying silliness to Django that threatens to undermine the entire film but happily never derails it.

The first day of school has come and gone for the teachers of Runge this week and will soon be here for our precious students. Parents, please remember there are a lot of drivers on the roads these days that are not familiar with our school crossing zones. Drivers are also often distracted with food, coffee, electronics and business. In addition, today's larger vehicles do not stop quickly. We all need to be watching out for our kids this year. Please teach your children to watch for traffic. Ask them to make eye contact with the driver before walking out into a street. We cannot depend on the drivers to keep them safe. We need to watch out for each other.
Don't forget to join us at the Runge VFW on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 3 to 6 p.m., when the Floresville Christian Church will be providing food, fun and games while distributing school supplies for Runge students. Please join us and enjoy their gifts of love and show your appreciation.
The Runge Chamber of Commerce & Community Projects is an organization created for the benefit of making Runge a better place to live. Our Board of Directors, diplomats and members are dedicated to the community services, businesses and citizens. We work hard to improve Runge's quality of life through working together, listening to the variety of needs identified and utilizing the unique skills and talents of our members. Please join us if you want to make a difference in making Runge a great place to open a business, educate your children and provide more opportunities for our ranchers and citizens to succeed.
One group working to help is the 2014 Miss Runge and her court. Their group has organized a "Jackets for Jackets" project to provide lightly used jackets for our students for the upcoming winter. Go ahead and look through your closets and find those jackets that are too small this year and donate them to those who are just growing into them. For more information, please contact Miss Rami Flores at 830-239-4919 to get your jackets donated.
For more information on what the Chamber is doing, call 830-200-8927. Until next week, be a blessing.

Check out the latest trends in new products for and adoption of green sustainability in wide-format printing.
By Tim Greene
This article covers the trends in green wide-format printing, which are largely enabled by UV-curable inkjet printers. While I believe strongly in conservation, it would be a big stretch to call me a tree-hugger or sustainability freak. My take on sustainability is that there are a lot of very practical reasons for companies to undertake sustainability initiatives that are all based on the potential these initiatives have on growing the bottom line.
InfoTrends has done quite a bit of research on the topic of green printing and there seems to be some fairly basic findings that are important to describe. First among these is that there is no question, at least among the printing companies we have surveyed and interviewed, that there is growth in the demand for green wide-format printing among wide-format-print buyers. To be honest, I don't know if this is an altruistic let's save the planet kind of trend or if this is driven by the buyer's desire to save on shipping and disposal costs. I am certain that another aspect of this trend towards green printing is brand-driven, with some of the big brand retailers and manufacturers driving the concept of sustainable printing.
Another core finding is that many wide-format-print-service providers are changing from solvent inkjet production to UV-curable inkjet production. Once again though, I think there is a real mixed bag when it comes to primary motivation for making this kind of transition. While there are definitely some companies that are deliberately going green by reducing or eliminating solvent inkjet printing for environmental reasons, many of the companies we have interviewed and surveyed reported that going green is more of a by-product of their investment decision than the primary motivator.
One of the companies we recently worked with knew for certain that they were going to buy a UV-curable inkjet printer to replace some of their existing solvent inkjet printers, but their motivation was most certainly because UV-curable inkjet printers are faster and offer capabilities such as white-ink printing. The green aspect was a nice-to-have, not a must-have, and I think we're seeing this frequently. Companies tell us they are most interested in quality and speed when it comes to their new printer, followed closely by oper-ational cost and then environmental factors.

For immediate release
State Board encourages celebration of the arts
(Springfield, Ill.) The Illinois State Board of Education encourages all educational communities to celebrate the arts during March annually designated as Music in Our Schools Month® by the National Association for Music Education. School activities focusing on music are particularly encouraged this week, March 8 -14, Illinois Arts Education Week.
As part of Illinois Arts Education Week, ISBE and the Alliance for Arts Education recognized the winner of a jointly sponsored art contest. The design by April Day Dohrman, a senior at Delavan High School, Delavan, Illinois, was selected for posters celebrating the 22nd Annual Illinois Arts Education Week sent to all public and nonpublic schools. A smaller version of the poster can be downloaded at www.isbe.net/curriculum along with more information and a proclamation.
Raising awareness for the arts is very important to me, said Dohrman. I have been involved in music since the 5th grade and I have taken several art classes in school. If everyone had a special place in their hearts for some form of art, the world would truly be a wonderful place.
In 1997, Illinois became one of the first states to adopt learning standards. Those standards what students know and be able to do - include fine arts and English language arts. With adoption of the standards, Illinois and the State Board of Education endorsed arts in our schools as one of seven learning areas that include math, science, social science, physical development, health and foreign languages. Arts education includes dance, drama, music and visual arts for students from kindergarten through grade 12.
Fine arts add the creative component that is key to learning alongside problem-solving, said State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller. Educators have long-recognized that creativity is also part and parcel of learning science and mathematics.
Schools and families are encouraged to plan activities and events. Suggested activities and ideas can be found at: www.menc.org/guides/wlc/tg03/insideactivity.html
Copies of Dohrmans poster with resources and information on the back can also be obtained from the State Board of Education.

Piecing it all together
The select few of you readers who have stuck it out during my extended leave of absence know I have five passions in life. Three of them were on display last week at the Winter Meetings.
2 Comments
Kevin Correia (RHP) and Scott Olsen (LHP) have the potential to lead the Pirates to that promised land. If both pitchers can push up two-digit win totals in 2011, it makes the possibility of posting at least a 63-99 season a closer reality, and finally rid the Buccos of that losing season curse.
I remember Matt Diaz as a Rays player, and he was always one of those "team" guys you wanted at your side as you tried to beat the odds and venture upward in the standings.
From Clint Hurdle to the multiple signings already this Winter, Pittsburgh is looking a lot better on paper and has a great shot to finally surprise everyone.
Rays Renegade
It was kind of sad to see Kevin Correia go. His performance this year tanked after the loss of his family member. Hopefully he'll bounce back with the Pirates. He was great to watch. I hope you guys will like Correia!

Coast Guard Station Juneau dates back to the middle 1950's. The original Station was located in Auke Bay, and remained there until 1978, when it was moved to its current location. Then, as now, the station performed all missions assigned today with the additional mission of servicing manned lighthouses.
The first resource assigned was the 38-foot Pickett boat. The Pickett was replaced by a 40-foot Utility boat then later relieved by a 44-foot steel Motor Lifeboat. The Motor Lifeboat was destroyed during a dramatic rescue of a family of four during a winter storm (http://www.44mlb.com/written-statement-glen-hart.htm ). Replacing the destroyed 44-foot Motor Lifeboat was the 41-foot UTB. The UTB was replaced in 2000 by a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat, and in 2011 the MLB was replaced by the 45-foot Response Boat – Medium.
The Station Currently has two 45-foot RB-Ms and two 25-foot RB-Ss.
Station Juneau performs approximately 50 search and rescue cases annually, 50 escorts of High Capacity Passenger Vessels, and 300 law enforcement boarding's.

The truth about the BorgiasApril 24,2013If you want to know a lot about what was going on in Italy between 1450 and 1500, youd be well advised to tackle a book that came out just this year. Its entitled The Borgias, by G. J. Meyer, and is about the family that flourished in that half-century. The author is an American educated in this country who now lives in England.
The subtitle of the book is The Hidden History, which gives a hint that it does not follow where many other histories of that time and that family have gone. The chief difference is that the author makes a pretty good case that the stories of corruption and vice that have dominated accounts of the family members are to a large extent untrue, having been based on documents written by people who hated the Borgias for political reasons.
The Borgia family originated in Aragon when it was a separate country, not yet part of the country called Spain. By the middle of the fifteenth century the ruler of that country also was in possession of Sicily and the southern part of the Italian peninsula governed from the city of Naples and called the Kingdom of Naples.
On the Iberian peninsula the family spelled their name Borja, and Alonso de Borja became an advisor to the ruler of Aragon and went to Italy with him where he became a cardinal and eventually was elected pope, as Callixtus III. In that position he got a family member, Rodrigo Borgia, to come to Rome to take charge of a series of Vatican administrative tasks, becoming a cardinal in the process.
It is Rodrigo on whom the author concentrates his attention for a good share of the book. The man was tall, healthy, and of a nature that made him a good conversationalist and persuasive negotiator. He got along so well in the Vatican that he was kept in the administrative jobs by several successive popes. Finally, he himself was elected pope, taking the name Alexander VI.
The author is convinced that Rodrigo was not the sexual debauchee that he has often been accused of being. Those stories originated from people who either didnt get what they wanted from him, or who had other reasons to blacken his reputation.
Since those days other circumstances have arisen that added to the problem. In Victorian times a definite anti-Catholic opinion arose, especially after the doctrine of papal infallibility was proposed. Although that doctrine is actually limited in scope, the anti-Catholic movement seized on it as indicative of something wrong with the religion.
The pope at the time the doctrine came into being was not the sort of person who could be accused of corruption or bad morals. So the researchers went back to study the records of previous popes. And there in the manuscripts were those accusations against Alexander VI. Biographers took it without checking it closely, the author of the present volume says, because of the prevailing sentiment against Catholic doctrine.
Reading the letters that Alexander wrote, biographers found him addressing Cesare Borgia as my son. That added to the feeling that Cesare and his sister Lucrezia were Alexanders illegitimate children. But the present author points out that the pope used that term in addressing any male recipient. His messages to King Ferdinand of Spain also called him my son.
As far as Meyer is concerned, Cesare and Lucrezia were children of one of Alexanders nieces and a husband who added the name Borgia to his own name after marriage. And he makes a pretty convincing case for that belief.
During that half-century Constantinople fell to the Turks, and the Turks began to expand into the Balkans and beyond. While concentrating on the Vatican and Italy the author includes some insight into what was happening on a wider scale. For instance, when a Venetian outpost in the eastern Mediterranean was overcome by the Turks, the Venetian commander surrendered on being promised that his head would not be severed from his torso. So instead they cut him in half at the waist.
Italy was far from a unified nation in those days. A series of city states and minor principalities made a complicated patchwork of the peninsula. And the ruling families were just as interconnected. In one aside, the author gives an example: Lucrezias third marriage had made Cesare the brother of the bride of Elizabetta of Urbinos brother Francesco Gonzagas wifes brother Alfonso dEste. Diagrams are required to make such things understandable. Niccolo Machiavelli got along well with Cesare Borgia, despite the fact that as an envoy from Florence he feared that the Borgias had designs on Florence. But they both had a sense of satire and a quick wit.
This book gives you a good idea why Ferdinand of Spain was more interested in Italy than in the remote islands discovered far to the west by Columbus. Also why, as pope, Alexander VI gave Ferdinand and Isabella much more power over the Inquisition than was usual in most countries. In all, if you can thread your way among French intrigue, Spanish intrigue, Venetian schemes and Milanese aggressions, this is a very stimulating and rewarding volume.

Apple has launched a new program to help iPhone 5 owners affected by a fault that may render their sleep/wake button ineffective or unresponsive. The problem affects what Apple calls "a small percentage" of iPhone 5s made from March 2013 on, Apple says, and you can find out if yours qualifies and apply for the replacement hardware by inputting your iPhone's serial number at the support site created by Apple specifically for this program. Apple asks that users check their device on the site if their sleep/wake button has stopped working completely, or works inconsistently. If you qualify, you'll then be able to get your device repaired, either in person at an Apple Store or authorized service provider, or by sending your iPhone in for treatment via mail.
Read the full story at TechCrunch, and see if your iPhone 5 qualifies here.

One way to master stress is to be aware of your breathing. When people feel panicked or unconsciously stressed, they tend to take short, shallow gasps of air. The resulting lack of oxygen restricts blood flow and causes muscles to tense. The way you breathe affects your whole body. Full, deep breathing is an effective way to reduce tension, feel relaxed, and reduce stress.
Breathwork [4] comprises a variety of stand-alone breathing techniques, as well as breathing techniques that are integral to other mind body practices, like qigong [5], tai chi, and yoga [6].
Many breathwork techniques are particularly useful because you can do them anywhere and anytime. Focusing attention on the breath also serves the meditative function of allowing the mind to more easily release distressing thoughts and emotions.
Dr. James Gordon's book Unstuck describes a technique used within a Mind-Body Skills group that is called Dynamic Meditation [7], which includes dynamic breathing. This breathwork is followed by movement/dancing and has been found by many to be pleasantly energizing.
By allowing more air to enter your body and focusing your attention so you calm the mind, you slow down your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and break the stress cycle.
Breathwork is generally safe for people of varying physical fitness and age. However, make sure you breathe slow enough to avoid hyperventilation.

-Sits awaiting Sempai-kun-
*Pops up at the training grounds*
Lets do this.
Okay, first things first. What are the five basic forms of the Ogame School?
The forms of the Ogame School are:
Ikazuchi Kata: (Form of the Thunder and Lightning God)
Kagatsuchi Kata: (Form of the Fire God)
Oboro Kata: (Form of the Moon God; Form of the Void)
Mizuchi Kata: (Form of the Water God)
Dokou Kata: (Form of the Earth God)
Okay, good. ^_^
Next step, explain the basic concept of each of those forms.
Ikazuchi Kata: The first form (Form of the Thunder and Lightning God) in which the user relies on fast and direct movements to attack the opponent.
Kagatsuchi Kata: The second form (Form of the Fire God) in which the swordsman utilizes their entire bodies to produce powerful attacks capable of breaking through steel.
Oboro Kata: The third form (Form of the Moon God; Form of the Void) where the swordsman uses specific body movements to simultaneously dodge an attack while also closing distance.
Mizuchi Kata: The fourth form (Form of the Water God) where the user performs fluid movements by changing their grip mid attack. This causes the attacks to suddenly and fluidly change their course allowing them to slip past the defense of an enemy.
Dokou Kata: The fifth form (Form of the Earth God) where the user focuses on stout and powerful defenses to deflect, disarm or destroy an opponent's weapon while opening their defenses to attack.
Okay, good. Now at the base of each of these styles is one important concept: utilization your body to its fullest without wasting a movement.
*walks over to you with a hand full of small senbon*
Now, I'm going to place these needles in certain points. Normally they won't hurt, but if you move a muscle affected by them you'll feel a sharp pain. The point of this is, we're going to get you to use only the muscles you need and strengthen them.
*places the needles in your body*
Alright, now I want you to practice basic slashes with your sword.
As Kanade is pricked,she draws Shisui from its scabboard,groaning from the pain,she takes the chudan stance and begins slashing,starting with a downward vertical slash,then a horizintal slash from left to right,ending with a diaginol slash from right back to left and keeps repeating it over a period of time having the senbons hurt as she moves but she is learning to endevor it
*throws an apple at your face*
As the apple is thrown at Kanade she was in the middle of a slash where instead she changed the direction of tge blades path having it twisted and slashing the apple as it arrives towards her,passing her sliced in half.The senbons still hurting but Kanade is adjusting to it and continues her practice learning to endure the pain,changing and trying each moment to learn to not to waste anymovements
As you attempt the slash the apple the pain from the senbon causes your slash to alter its path, missing most of the apple and instead shaving off a shallow piece from the side. The rest of the apple smacks you in the face causing you to fall backwards.
Keep going. :p
Kanade gets up and continues slashing and alternating in her stances making sure all her positions are covered and taking the pain her slashing are not altered and keeps going ignoring the pain and become much more relaxed now but still able of keeping her blade on target
Don't ignore the pain, if you ignore the pain that means you keep on doing the same movements that cause the pain, which defeats the purpose of the training. :p
T.T argh..Kanade listens and restarts over this time alternating between her footing and the movement of her hands,feeling the pain around her body,intensely pricking her as she moves but she stills tries hard and keeps concentration and allowing her blade to flow around with her movements feeling the senbons reacting to her movements
*tosses another apple at your face*
As the second apple is thrown,Kanade with her back turned moves her foot around feeling the pain,horizontally swinging her blade to her left as she turns around looking at the apple slices,feeling the pain from the senbons but continuing to move flunently around
Your move happens, minus all the pain. :p
Okay, good. ^_^
Now lets move on to the real training.
First, which two forms did you plan on mastering?
Void and Lighting im a speedy type of guy/girl
Good choices. ^_^
Since you want to master those, we'll save them for last. So lets start with Kagutsuchi kata.
The first technique:
(Kagatsuchi Kata: Hibashira) - Form of the Fire God: Pillar of Fire
Type: Attack
Rank: B/A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20/30
Damage: 40/60
Description: The form of the fire god is a stance of the Ogame school in which the swordsman focuses on raw power for their attacks. In this technique the swordsman holds the sword over their head in their right hand with the tip pointed down so the blade is vertical and splitting their face. Their left hand is held horizonatally over their head with the fist bisecting the right elbow. They then flick the sword up while at the same time flicking their left hand up so both the sword and their left hand are now pointing up, and then they will bring the sword down in a whipping motion putting the full force of the attack in the tip of the blade. They use their entire body by dropping to the ground and bringing the left arm down as well to create as much power as possible. This makes their attacks capable of breaking through standard weapons such as kunai, shuriken, and even other standard swords. This technique can be upgraded through the addition of fire chakra causing the blade to glow red and sear through its target.
-Can only be used by a person trained in the Ogame school of kenjutsu.
-Can only be used twice per battle.
-Can be seen here if the description isn't clear enough: http://www.mangareader.net/408-26588...chapter-3.html
Now go read Gamaran ch. 3 and explain to me the technique in your own words.
0.0 The link is dead!
Ya, don't mind the link :p
Just go to mangareader.net and look up Gamaran and read chapter three.

Fort Drum Mass-Casualty Exercise Could Disrupt Traffic
There could be some congestion around Fort Drum's airfield Thursday.
Army officials say there's a mass-casualty exercise at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield starting at 8:30 a.m.
That could mean detours, congestion, rubber-necking delays and sudden changes in traffic patterns, Fort Drum officials say.
The airfield is off State Route 26, which is a major route for many local commuters.
Personnel are asked to be on the airfield before 8:30 if they can. The disruption cold last until 3 p.m.
Officials say it's not unusual for people to face additional security checks, longer lines at the gate and disruptions to daily
activities during events like this.
Officials say the exercise will include local, state and federal
participants and revolve around an active-shooter scenario.

By Clyde Davis: Local columnist
S everal years ago, when radio shock jock Don Imus took a cheap racial shot at C. Vivian Stringer's Rutgers women's basketball team, Coach Stringer responded like the lady that she is: Nothing at first, then gracious forgiveness a few days later.
As Coach Stringer reminded her girls, they had a championship to win, and needed no distractions.
Imus at least has saving graces. He does, after all, and has for years, funded and led a camp to provide cancer patient children of all races with an excellent outdoor experience.
Howard Stern, on the other hand, has made only one tangible contribution to society; he's the punch line of a really good joke.
"What's black and brown and looks good on Howard Stern ?"
Answer: a Rottweiler.
It was, therefore, no surprise when Stern's rant about academy award nominee Gabby Sidibe (Precious) crossed both racial and taste boundaries.
It's also no surprise that his website has attempted to erase evidence of Stern's crudity, cruelty, and general bad taste, in his treatment of a young woman who is fully aware both of her talent and her size, following network news coverage (Network: defined as a thing Howard Stern has proven himself incapable of being on.)
Perhaps it is better to be African American, gifted, and plus size than it is to be talentless, stupid, and have to make a living mocking other people. Maybe we should ask Stern's sycophantic sidekick, African American woman Robin Quivers, how she felt about Stern's racial and gender slurs.
Oh, I forgot. She sold out to Howard the Coward years ago.
In case you haven't noticed, Stern takes his cheap shots at talented people from the safety of his Sirius Satellite station desk, which, presumably, involves a station which he owns.
In case you haven't followed his meteoric rise to mediocrity (or even, like me, been tangentially aware of it), Stern was never able to hold a job in network radio for very long.
Precious is not Gabby Sidibe, not by a long shot. The very giftedness lay in the fact that an outgoing, energetic, intelligent and funny young actress was able to portray an emotionally damaged teen so different from herself.
Like the lady she was apparently raised to be, Ms. Sidibe has (as of this writing) not responded to Stern's remarks. If it was an attempt to get a reaction from his target, it appears to have failed miserably — the one thing Stern is obviously good at.
One realizes that, even by getting columnists to react, a shock jock has done the very thing he or she likes to do — gotten a reaction. I also realize, from past experience, that, with CNJ Online, this column may reach a certain number of Howard Stern groupies whose computers beep every time the key word appears.
Then, I get emails. Nasty ones.
There may be a really good side to this, yet. As I said to my wife when the story was on TV, maybe Howard Stern has finally gone too far, pushed it over the edge, this time.
Then he will end up where he ought to be — which is anywhere where he is not polluting the airwaves with his rancor.

CVS, the Concurrent Versioning System, manages simultaneous development of files. It stores files in a central repository, and allows users to check out working copies of the files and commit changes back to the repository.
CVS maintains a record of the changes to each file, allowing the user to revert to a previous version, merge versions, and track changes. Change-tracking can be surprisingly useful, and is frequently underutilized.
This article builds on Introduction to CVS and CVS Administration. Some topics discussed there are used but not defined in this article.
cvs annotate displays the last change for each line of a file in the repository. For each line, it shows the revision number for the last change of each line, the user, the date, and the contents of the line. It is a quick way of discovering who made what changes when.
Annotate displays file data from the repository, not from the working directory, so changes that have not yet been committed will not be displayed.
Options to
cvs annotate include:
-D date
-r tag

cvs diff.
Example 2
$ cvs diff -r 1.11 cvs_changes.html
Index: cvs_changes.html
RCS file: /home/cvs/oreilly/articles/cvs/cvs_changes.html,v
retrieving revision 1.11
diff -r1.11 cvs_changes.html
> The command cvs diff compares two
revisions of a file and displays the differences.
> cvs diff is usually called with at
least one -r <var>tag</var> parameter.
Unlike most CVS functions,
cvs history is not set up by default. To set it up, create a file called
history in the
CVSROOT directory of the repository. The CVS user (or whichever user runs CVS on your server) must be able to write to the file.
Example 3
(on the cvs repository server)
$ cd /home/cvs/CVSROOT
$ touch history
$ chmod g+w history
$ ls -la
drwxrwsr-x 4 root src 1024 May 16 01:04 .
drwxrwsr-x 35 root src 1024 Mar 20 18:01 ..
drwxrwsr-x 2 root src 1024 Sep 7 2001 Attic
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root src 0 May 16 01:04 history
-r--r--r-- 1 root src 403 Sep 26 2001 loginfo
Test the
history file by committing a file, then running
cvs history -c filename (the
-c flag displays CVS commits). CVS will display a line that shows the one commit since the history file was created.
Example 4
$ cvs history -c test.html
M 2002-05-15 15:04 +0000 jenn 1.2 test.html oreilly/articles/cvs == <remote> $
Once it is set up,
cvs history can be used to show the history of the files and modules in the repository. File and module choices include a particular file or files, a module, or the modules in the current working directory.
The history file records commits, merges, conflicts, tagging, updates (to the working directory), additions, deletions, and modifications of files in the repository. Each of these can be recalled and displayed with the
cvs history command.
cvs history will also display data for the user requesting the information, for all users, or for the current working copy. For widely distributed teams, there is an option to display times in a named time zone.
Example 5
$ cvs history -e -w -z EST test.html
M 2002-05-15 10:04 EST jenn 1.2 test.html oreilly/articles/cvs == <remote>
M 2002-05-15 10:41 EST jenn 1.3 test.html oreilly/articles/cvs == <remote>
In example 5,
-e specifies showing all types of commits and updates,
-w specifies showing only the changes that affect or come from the current working directory, and
-z EST sets the time zone for display to EST.
cvs log command displays information about the file or files in the argument list. If no files are listed, it displays log information about all files in the current working directory and its subdirectories.
The options to
cvs log reduce the amount of information it shows. By default,
log displays all its information.
Example 6
$ cvs log cvs_changes.html
RCS file: /home/cvs/oreilly/articles/cvs/cvs_changes.html,v
Working file: cvs_changes.html

Example 6 shows the early
log history for this article.
Revision 1.1 occurred when I created two files, forgot to check-in the empty templates, and tried to commit the annotate section of this article.
CVS has customization files that define scripts to be called when certain actions occur. The
loginfo, modules, and
taginfo files can be used to call logging scripts.
These files can be found and configured in the CVSROOT directory in the CVS repository. The files are run on the computer that hosts the repository, but some module scripts are run from the client machine. See that section for more detail.
Use CVS when editing these files -- they are in the module CVSROOT. Simply
cvs -d repository checkout CVSROOT to check out all these files.
loginfo file controls where log information for
cvs commit is sent. Potential uses include keeping a project leader informed of changes her team makes, and maintaining a central log of a project's progress.
taginfo does the same, but for the
tag and
rtag commands. It has the same syntax as
Each line of the file should contain a regular expression that matches a directory, followed by the address of a script, which expects log information as the standard input (stdin).
The special lines start with 'ALL' and 'DEFAULT'. ALL runs cumulatively with any other line that applies. Otherwise, only the first matching regular expression is run, or DEFAULT if none match.
loginfo file in example 7 would log every commit through a script called
logscript, run
cvsscript if any file under $CVSROOT/oreilly is committed, and would mail any other commits to cvsadmin.
Example 7
ALL /usr/local/bin/logscript
^oreilly /home/jenn/scripts/cvsscript
DEFAULT Mail -s "CVS commit" cvsadmin
The file
CVSROOT/modules records each module and its directories and files. The file also takes options, and some of the options are scripts to be run when CVS actions occur.
-e script
-i script
-o script
-u script
-t script
rtag is used on the module. This does NOT run when
tag is used. The
taginfo file is a better way to log tags.
Please read the manual and info files for CVS if you are changing this file. CVS uses this file every time a user interacts with a module.
Scripts called from a commit or an update are run from the local machine, and scripts called from the rest are run from the server.
Example 8 would run
/home/jenn/scripts/cvsscript when the oreilly module is checked out, from the directory oreilly. It also defines the module CVSROOT, with no special options.
Example 8
oreilly -o /home/jenn/scripts/cvsscript oreilly
Change-tracking is a useful part of CVS, but I've rarely seen it used in the field. I discovered it when I started using CVS on my own, and had one of those, "Why have I never used this before?" moments.
Try it. I hope you find it as useful as I do.

The band will perform from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. and is being brought to Beeville by the Hall-Rialto Preservation Association. The event is a fundraiser for the Rialto Theater, and everyone is invited to support the community project of refurbishing the Rialto Theater in downtown Beeville. Those in attendance will also be able to view items on display in the silent auction.
Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be served, and a cash bar will be available. Tickets are $75 each and may be purchased at Hogue's Jewelry, 202 N. Washington St.; Libby Spires Tax Office, 208 N. Washington St.; Wicker Basket, 300 N. Washington St.; and a Place for Paws, 3809 N. St. Mary's St. A patron giving a $500 sponsorship to the Rialto Theater will receive four tickets to the event.
In addition to music from the Patsy Cline era, the band offers a wide variety of music including classic country, classic rock and pop – great to dance to or just listen and enjoy the music you know and love.
In 2006, The Almost Patsy Cline Band was awarded the Cowboy Capital Award by the Bandera County Chamber of Commerce for promoting Bandera as Cowboy Capital of the World.
Bassist/songwriter/vocalist Lanette Pennell, and actress/keyboard player/vocalist Vicki Gillespie formed The Almost Patsy Cline Band in 2002. Audiences loved the harmonies by Pennell and Gillespie and the frequently-requested Patsy Cline songs spawned the band name. Guitarists/vocalists Larry Lucas and Larry Nolen Jr. bring versatility and drive to the unique sound of the band, backed up by drummer/vocalist Rick Reynolds.
"We're very proud to be from such a great Texas town," says Pennell. "And we're excited about coming to share our music in Beeville once again."
"It's magic," says Gillespie, "and the people feel it. We like to play songs that everyone knows – fun and meaningful songs that revive fond memories."

There's been quite some uncertainty and doubt regarding the international release date of the Plenue Z2, the successor to the D3, and Cowon's second experiment with Google's Android operating system. We've ranted about it as early as January.
This time it sure took Cowon a lot longer than usually to release a device outside of Korea, but it seems they're almost there. According to Engadget, an "early May" release date should be possible. Apparently, the 16GB version of the Z2 will only come in white and will go for around $280, the 32GB version will only come in black and go for a slightly painful $320.
Those prices are quite a bit higher than, say, same-sized iPod Touch variants, and a lot more expensive than Samsung's various Galaxy Players. But if you want BBE sound enhancements, many more tactile buttons than average Android devices offer, and a shnazzy S-AMOLED screen (hopefully a non-Pentile one), then you really don't have a lot of alternatives. At least the Z2 should be snappy enough to be usable as an all-around Android device, contrary to its severely slow and laggy ancestor, the D3.

my fav players were always
I'm now following Andrew Wiggins' career maybe its just preference and I aint dicklicking Melo so take the homo **** to the Bosh thread
this is a blast from the past, but i always thought Pat Riley made a huge mistake
not playing Anthony Bonner in the 1994 finals, until it was too late.
Bonner was one of the best energy players off the bench, and really made his presence felt,
but Riley decided to go with a small rotation instead.
btw, starting a thread just to bash Ewing is definitely Knicks blasphemy.
Loco Ochos already said it all, Patrick set the bar to which every Knick since
should live up to, if not all centers.
if not for a missed finger roll, the Knicks could very well have won the 94 finals.
just lame man, totally lame. d*cklicking Melo, and hating on Pat. tsk!
i'd also like to confess that the loss of Sprewell and Camby took the air out of
my entire being, and I've hated Jimmy Dolan ever since. especially with the whole JLin fiasco.
final confession, i'm in love with Walt "Clyde" Frazier (semi-homo). The man
embodies cool, both in his phenomenal career and his post-player broadcasting career.
I feel blessed to be able to hear him broadcast every game he works with his
style, intelligence, sense of humor, and love of Knicks basketball.
my fav players were always
I'm now following Andrew Wiggins' career maybe its just preference and I aint dicklicking Melo so take the homo **** to the Bosh thread
I like the New Jersey Nets because they were my home town team and I've always lived here.
I was torn the last season or two when Nash played the Knicks because I knew every loss for the Suns meant it being harder for Nash making the Playoffs when I felt the Knicks would.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I took a liking, a small liking, to chris duhon.
Image hotlinked from a malware website // removed
I don't understand that at all, CA7. I'm entertained by any good player on our team, let alone legend. Weird.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
This is kinda hard.....bare with me.....at first I actually thought Isiah was a good GM! By "at first" I mean til after Larry Brown was fired
I thought Duhon would be an All Star (there are post to prove it)
I thought Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph would work
I thought Channing Frye was the next Tim Duncan
I support Amare fully yet have plenty of times wished (or at least wondered about it) we had used the Amnesty on him and kept Billups
I hate Allan Hahn....I don't care who knows that...he sucks!
Spree not being able to drive left and poor shot selection made me happy we traded him for Van Horn
I secretly wish we Pat Riley running our team!!!!
Please don't judge me.
After Remembering Watching, Beyond The Glory-Isiah Thomas, I was Convinced Isiah Thomas was gonna bring a Championship to NYC.
I should Kill myself
I was from New York and moved to Florida in 04 never liking sports honestly, and I moved back to NY in 08 and thats when Favre came to the Jets so I said ok and became a Jets fan then I tried to watch some Knick games and maybe become a fan but it never caught on.
Then STAT came and I became a fan until Melo came, thats when I went crazy.
I know its easy to judged and call me a bandwagon fan but Ive been with both since and I will never leave them no matter who's on the team. Melo could leave tomorrow and I'd still bleed Orange and Blue.
me too, i have a feeling that he actually hates the knicksI hate Allan Hahn....I don't care who knows that...he sucks!
Much as Melo had to face some of the toughest teams in recent history in the WC playoffs, Ewing had the Heat, Pacers and, most unfortunately, the Bulls and Jordan to get past.
In both cases, it's a tad unfair to consider either underachievers or even failures, but Pat undeniably is the more accomplished. We can all only hope that Melo outdoes him, I suppose.
No one's calling you a 'mo, by the way, but unfair criticism in the case of Melo is your pet hate. Dropping it on Ewing comes across as rather........hmmmmm........sanctimonious.
We all still love you, CA7.
@SuckMyKnick (what a name!) I too, thought Zeke would be good for the Knicks when he first became part of the clan, as he made some good picks in the draft, but i think he became power crazy and starting making decisions beyond his grasp of the managerial general, like giving up too many 1st round draft picks, paying stupid money for mediocre-to-sh*t players, bad trades, and dont' forget, stupid f*ckface Dolan MADE Isiah coach/GM when he fired Larry Brown. too much to handle. i don't want to defend Isiah, i think he started off OK, even Curry looked OK when he first joined the squad. sh*t happens.
props to New New York for excellent confessions. f*ck Alan Kahn!

The Centre for Online Learning
Director, Teaching Support Services: Sandra Hughes, BA, MA email@example.com, ext. 4104
The Centre for Online Learning is responsible for developing and supporting the university's online learning course offerings. These learning opportunities are built on the strengths and interests of the university's faculty and are designed to meet the needs of local, national and international communities.
During the academic year, students can select from more than 70 online learning courses and register in any of the six instructional sessions: fall term (September to December), winter term (January to April), fall/winter session (September to April), spring term (May to August), intersession (May to mid-June) and summer session (July to mid-August). All online learning course offerings are offered entirely online and are complemented by a package of learning and support materials. Part-time students may also register for regular daytime or late afternoon courses at the campus to which they were admitted.
The range of part-time and online learning courses offered enable students to complete all the requirements for the Diploma in Business Administration and the Certificate in Arts (I and II) on a part-time basis. A BA without designation can be completed entirely through online learning. It is not essential, however, that a student work toward a degree. Courses may be taken for general interest, for self-enrichment, or with a view to improving job qualifications or career prospects.
NOTE: General degrees without a major became available to students beginning in September 2005. Effective September 2007, general majors are not offered to new students entering the university. No further designation (major, option or minor) is awarded with these degrees. (The general BA program at Brantford will retain the name Contemporary Studies). Minimum progression and graduation requirements for general programs without designations became effective September 2005.
At the Laurier Waterloo campus, a broad range of business courses makes it possible for part-time students to earn a university diploma (Diploma in Accounting, Business Administration) and/or to satisfy the academic requirements of numerous professional designation programs. Degree-credit courses taken in partial fulfillment of designation requirements may be applied to diploma programs.
Students wishing to pursue an honours degree in an arts or science subject may find it necessary to register full-time for one academic year or more. The third year of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree must be taken on a full-time basis.
The Centre for Online Learning updates information regarding course offerings twice each year. A listing of fall/winter course offerings (detailing fall term, fall/winter session and winter term) is available in June, and the Spring/Summer Calendar (detailing spring term, intersession and summer session) is available in February. This office also programs non-credit offerings through Continuing Education. Details can be found on the website at www.wlu.ca/conted.
Another service provided is Laurier's Stock Market Competition. Competitions are available to secondary, college, university and MBA students. For further information, visit the website at invest.wlu.ca.
For details relating to Educational Development, refer to the Academic and University Resources section or visit the website at www.wlu.ca/edev
General inquiries from prospective part-time students should be directed to:
Inquiries concerning admission to the university should be directed to The Office of the Registrar: Admissions, ext. 3351. For program counselling, refer to the Academic Advising sections of the Undergraduate Academic Calendar.

Jack and Beverly Wilgus, collectors of vintage photographs, no longer recall how they came by the 19th-century daguerreotype of a disfigured yet still-handsome man. It was at least 30 years ago. The photograph offered no clues as to where or precisely when it had been taken, who the man was or why he was holding a tapered rod. But the Wilguses speculated that the rod might be a harpoon, and the man's closed eye and scarred brow the result of an encounter with a whale.
From This Story
Related Content
So over the years, as the picture rested in a display case in the couple's Baltimore home, they thought of the man in the daguerreotype as the battered whaler.
In December 2007, Beverly posted a scan of the image on Flickr, the photo-sharing Web site, and titled it "One-Eyed Man with Harpoon." Soon, a whaling enthusiast e-mailed her a dissent: that is no harpoon, which suggested that the man was no whaler. Months later, another correspondent told her that the man might be Phineas Gage and, if so, this would be the first known image of him.
Beverly, who had never heard of Gage, went online and found an astonishing tale.
In 1848, Gage, 25, was the foreman of a crew cutting a railroad bed in Cavendish, Vermont. On September 13, as he was using a tamping iron to pack explosive powder into a hole, the powder detonated. The tamping iron—43 inches long, 1.25 inches in diameter and weighing 13.25 pounds—shot skyward, penetrated Gage's left cheek, ripped into his brain and exited through his skull, landing several dozen feet away. Though blinded in his left eye, he might not even have lost consciousness, and he remained savvy enough to tell a doctor that day, "Here is business enough for you."
Gage's initial survival would have ensured him a measure of celebrity, but his name was etched into history by observations made by John Martyn Harlow, the doctor who treated him for a few months afterward. Gage's friends found him"no longer Gage," Harlow wrote. The balance between his "intellectual faculties and animal propensities" seemed gone. He could not stick to plans, uttered "the grossest profanity" and showed "little deference for his fellows." The railroad-construction company that employed him, which had thought him a model foreman, refused to take him back. So Gage went to work at a stable in New Hampshire, drove coaches in Chile and eventually joined relatives in San Francisco, where he died in May 1860, at age 36, after a series of seizures.
In time, Gage became the most famous patient in the annals of neuroscience, because his case was the first to suggest a link between brain trauma and personality change. In his book An Odd Kind of Fame: Stories of Phineas Gage, the University of Melbourne's Malcolm Macmillan writes that two-thirds of introductory psychology textbooks mention Gage. Even today, his skull, the tamping iron and a mask of his face made while he was alive are the most sought-out items at the Warren Anatomical Museum on the Harvard Medical School campus.
Michael Spurlock, a database administrator in Missoula, Montana, happened upon the Wilgus daguerreotype on Flickr in December 2008. As soon as he saw the object the one-eyed man held, Spurlock knew it was not a harpoon. Too short. No wooden shaft. It looked more like a tamping iron, he thought. Instantly, a name popped into his head: Phineas Gage. Spurlock knew the Gage story well enough to know that any photograph of him would be the first to come to light. He knew enough, too, to be intrigued by Gage's appearance, if it was Gage. Over the years, accounts of his changed character had gone far beyond Harlow's observations, Macmillan says, turning him into an ill-tempered, shiftless drunk. But the man in the Flickr photogragh seemed well-dressed and confident.

Springfield, IL Today, the Illinois State Board
of Education (ISBE) processed payments to eight school
districts for consolidation incentive grants totaling
$1.98 million. The grants were made possible when Gov.
Rod Blagojevich signed Senate Bill 3362 into law, which
included funding for the eight Illinois school districts.
The Governor called on us to cut the fat from our
agency operations and redirect that money to schools,
said State Superintendent Randy Dunn. We took a
hard look at things and were able to do just that.
In November of 2004, Dunn announced plans to cut $2.6
million from the agency operational budget this fiscal
year. From those agency savings, the General Assembly
and Gov. Blagojevich have reallocated $1.98 million to
fund the school consolidation incentives.
Districts that will receive incentive payments as a result
of SB3362 are: Prairie Central District 8, $598,125; Downers
Grove District 58, $114,059; New Hope District 6, $9,869;
Fairfield Public School District 112, $128,454; United
District 304, $73,234; Sangamon Valley District 9, $173,640;
Staunton District 6, $605,664; and El Paso-Gridley District
11, $272,982. The districts should receive their funds
by February 25.
Since 1984, 103 districts have received consolidation
funding from the state. Consolidation affords school districts
greater flexibility in the services they offer students,
increased administrative efficiency, and a means to address
underlying financial problems. School districts that consolidate
are eligible for the following grants from the State Board
of Education:

Paul wanted the Roman churches to experience with him the inexpressible blessing of "refreshing" – taking a breath; receiving rest; being invigorated or revived.
Jesus offered this kind of rest to lighten the burden of one's soul: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin." (Matthew 6:28) Living Christ's plan means focusing on His faithfulness, not one's own, and being anxious over nothing else.
The Lord heals His people. Psalm 72:6 says, "He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth." Many things in life cut like a mower, causing one's heart to become sore and in need of the healing that comes only from the Lord. No matter how dark or mysterious things may be, believers must trust Him and affirm His infinite, unmerited, and unchanging love.
Jesus is waiting to save people in the depths of sin from their burdens of selfishness, guilt, and the inability to find peace. His Holy Spirit is here to help and comfort the souls of those who trust Christ to deliver them.
To the weak of faith facing circumstances beyond their understanding, Christ gives the reassurance, "This too, shall pass". He watches and waits with gentle, tender sympathy in total faithfulness as the weak in faith run here and there looking for something or someone to help, rather than trusting Him for rest. They need only to turn to Him, confess their anxiety, receive forgiveness, and be at peace.
Those going through spiritual famine from lack of prayer time or meditation on His Word lose their peace, joy, gentleness, patience, and self-control. But the absence of joy does not mean the Lord is absent. Christ is there waiting for them to call upon Him and be abundantly filled with joy and praise.
Even the strong in faith experience broken hearts and crushed spirits; but with patience and persistence, they can draw "breath" from the Lord and complete His tasks. The Lord uses these crises of faith as events that evidence His love.
As they wait for the Lord's return, believers have Christ's promise of Sabbath rest. Their waiting involves the completion of life, through Christ's plan, while He delivers them from Satan, sin, and death, completing His ministry and making them holy. Their destination is rest in the Lord's presence.

A second former teacher at a Faribault prep school has been charged with abusing a student, as part of an investigation into reports of sexual abuse at Shattuck-St. Mary's.
Joseph Carl Machlitt, 63, appeared in court Wednesday on counts of criminal sexual conduct.
The complaint says Machlitt sexually assaulted a former student in 1980 after the boy suffered a head injury and was brought to Machlitt's dormitory apartment for observation.
Police say the victim, now 46, came forward after seeing reports about charges against Lynn Seibel, another former teacher charged with having sexual contact with six students.
Online court records show Machlitt represented himself. He was in custody Wednesday and could not receive messages.
Police believe the school staff did not know about the incident involving Machlitt.
