Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

Even though I'm not especially fond of either character, I kinda like SasuHina. It just seems like they could be good for each other.
TsuJir, of course, and NagatoKonan. Also KakAnko purely on the basis of two awesome characters coming together. No pun intended.
Temari and Shikamaru still, if they will ever come back to the story.

Summer is in full swing and it's a hot one! Can you see yourself sipping on margaritas and lounging around napping? (Are you still with us or did we lose you at 'margaritas'?)
Summer is great but triple digit weather… not so much. You can wear all the skimpy outfits you want to stay cool, but things are a little different when you count on a wig as part of your routine. And unless you have no problem going without your wig, chances are you're already sweating just thinking about it.
Well, don't sweat it, we've got you covered! Just follow these 3 tips to stay cool while looking haute in your wigs all summer long.
Cool Dos for Haute Summer Wigs
1. Do: Go with a capless wig.
Last week we blogged about capless wigs; they're light and airy – air circulates freely and keep it from feeling like a sauna. What's more, capless synthetic wigs are perfect to deal with the summer's humidity. Synthetic hair wigs are less affected by the weather and require minimal styling – that means you can give your hot tools a rest!
Check out all capless wigs at Wigs.com here.
2. Do: Protect your wig.
The summer is nothing without sunshine! Bad news is the sun can be equally hard on your wig as it is on your skin and hair. The fact is prolonged sun exposure can do irreparable damage to your synthetic and human hair wigs. Protect your wig by spraying some leave-in conditioner on it before you go out. Also, a shine serum can restore sheen and moisture to the fiber to refresh it between washes.
Which takes us to our next point: Wash. Your. Wig. Sweating a little, sweating a lot – either way, it can get pretty ugly. Consider washing your wig more frequently to manage buildup (we suggest every 4-5 wears).
Check out the awesome care products by BeautiMark for your synthetic or human hair wigs here.
3. Do: When in doubt, Accessorize!
Hats and scarves can be your wig's best friend. They not only protect your wig from the sun but they add some style to your summer wardrobe! There's always a ton of trendy summer head wear to choose from. Give your wig the day off and wear them solo!
The Sure Grip and the No Sweat Liners are great accessories to use under your wig. They will help to keep your wig from slipping out of place while absorbing that extra bit of sweat. So don't be afraid to dive into a game of beach volleyball – you're covered!
Check out all headwear and liners here.
As you can see, cool and chic summer hair with your wigs is possible. So, WORK IT with our cool summer wig tips – it's never too hot to look good!

When we received a Microsoft Kinect recently, G4 wanted to really put the device through its technical paces and test the system's face and body recognition software. So we called porn star Kirsten Price.
The Wicked Pictures contract performer and star of G4's Sexpo South Africa put on a skimpy bikini and checked out Kinect's chat to see if Kinect had some kind of nudity-identification capability, whether Kinect censors video chat or picture sending, as well as checking out the system's ability to recognize a person in a disguise or wearing different kinds of clothing. This video is much more than a cheaply gratuitous attempt to show a naked porn star... we're doing it for Science.
For more Kinect comedy, check out X-Play host Adam Sessler, who learns that Kinect is always watching you... the hard way.

Eggs, candy and bunnies are traditionally all part of America's Easter holiday. Take a look at the interesting ways in which other countries celebrate Easter.
United Kingdom. Today, people in the British Isles celebrate Easter in much the same way as Americans. Historically though, the old custom called "lifting" occurred on the two days after Easter. On Easter Monday, men lifted their wives and women friends in chairs covered with white fabric and decorated with colorful ribbons. The following day, the ladies lifted the gentlemen in the same way. The custom was said to be a memorial of Christ being raised from the grave.
Haux, France. Each year a giant omelet is served up in the town's main square. The omelet uses more than 4,500 eggs and feeds up to 1,000 people.
Rome, Italy. On Good Friday the Pope commemorates the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) at the Colosseum: A huge cross with burning torches illuminates the sky as the 14 Stations of the Cross are described in several languages. Mass is celebrated on the evening of Holy Saturday, and on Easter Sunday, thousands of visitors congregate in St. Peter's Square to await the Pope's blessing from the church's balcony, known as "Urbi et Orbi" ("To the City and to the World").
Finland. Scandinavian children go begging in the streets with sooty faces and scarves around their heads, carrying broomsticks, coffeepots and bunches of willow twigs.
Corfu, Greece. On the morning of Holy Saturday, the traditional "Pot Throwing" takes place on this Greek island. People throw pots, pans and other earthenware out of their windows, smashing them on the street. Some say the custom derives from the Venetians, who on New Year's Day used to throw out all of their old items.
Poland. Pouring water on one another is a Polish Easter tradition called Smingus-Dyngus. On Easter Monday, boys try to drench other people with buckets of water, squirt guns or anything they can get their hands on. Legend says girls who get soaked will marry within the year.
Verges, Spain. On Holy Thursday in the town of Verges, Spain, the traditional "dansa de la mort" or "death dance" is performed. To reenact scenes from The Passion, everyone dresses in skeleton costumes and parades through the streets.
Hungary. A tradition called "Sprinkling," a popular Hungarian Easter tradition, is observed on Easter Monday, which is also known as "Ducking Monday." Boys playfully sprinkle perfume or perfumed water on girls. People used to believe that water had a cleaning, healing and fertility-inducing effect.

RSBS Presents: Black Holes
One of the most peculiar realms of science is understanding what exactly goes on inside of a black hole (and no, folks, we ain't talkin' about the vile emitting from Milton Bradley's mouth). Widely understood as a "deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact mass" — an area from which nothing can escape the immense gravitational pull of its center — black holes are like the underground club scene of the cosmos: all kinds of weird s*** can happen… and does!
To me, the most interesting aspect of a black hole lies at its very center, past the event horizon, down the rabbit hole, settling on an infinitesimal point known as the singularity. If you were unfortunate enough to be sucked into a black hole and lucky enough to survive the trip down its core, by the time you reached the singularity you would surely be a shredded mess, the result of being filleted by the strongest forces theorized by the human mind.
But boy would it be an exciting death!
The oddest thing about the singularity is that once we start working in and around that point, we realize that the laws of physics become completely erroneous and unnecessary. That's right, dear readers, when you get to the singularity, Einstein's theory of general relativity makes no sense at all.
And while black holes and their singularities may be intangible to us from our terrestrial vantage point, if you look around you today you will see all sorts of things that could cause one to think we may be close to such a singularity — a place where what we see is so shocking, so odd, so perplexing that it just doesn't make sense…
The Good Guys Win: Joe Mauer
Twins fans were so afraid they would lose their hometown hero to the evil chops of the Yankees and the Yankees 2.0 that doomsday scenarios and flat-out decrees of apostasy had already been accepted as fact. But in the end, the Twins had to sign Joe — for the sake of their new stadium and for the sake of their fans. And they did, for a very reasonable price. Oh, and by the way, the Twins are not a small-market team, so this situation is getting even more black-holish by the minute!
Liberal US Americans Actually Accomplish Something
After eight long years of maddening sound bytes, phantom wars against phantom enemies for phantom purposes and an all-out assault on reason, the liberal majority in the House got together and passed a health care bill that might actually work. Oh yeah, sure, not everyone is happy about it and the most concerning aspect is how we're going to pay for it; but, in my opinion, the sheer fact that you won't be financially punished for being sick anymore indicates a huge step forward. And besides, since when do US Americans care about national debt? Here, in the great state of Illinois, for as long as I can remember, the political machine has been borrowing money from the FUTURE to pay for current projects. I hear that Illinois is rich in the future, so I'm gonna see if I can get in on that too. I need a Lamborghini.
Exciting News Out of Cincinnati Reds Camp
You have to go back quite a few years to find anything worth anticipating from the Reds in March, but this year is different. Under the wise hand of former Cardinal front office legend Walt Jocketty, Cincinnati signed Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman during the offseason, hoping he would live up to his international hype. And boy does he! Thought by many to be an ace-caliber pitcher going into this season, Reds fans have a whole lot to be excited about for a change… of course, that is… until Dusty Baker blows out his arm and ruins his career.
Hate me 'cuz I test the limits of physics, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
18 Comments
Volquez got his, so now Baker only has three young arms to punish; Homer Bailey, Cueto, and Chapman. Bailey may or may not pitch well enough to stay on the team. Chapman will not start the year with the club…Boy do I feel bad for Johnny Cueto.
Me too, Joe. Me too.
Did you have to use such an unflattering picture of Nancy Pelosi? She looks like she smelled something really bad. LOL.
Hey Jeff,
Just checking in after crawling out of my own offseason black hole. Ratcheting up the blog and looking forward to your posts. By the way, I'm pretty happy about Mauer staying in Minnesota for the next few years. But I'm afraid the Twins may find that contract crushing in the coming years, as the Yankees wait patiently.
Steve T.
im not the biggest polictical buff, in fact it just irks me all together. but from a blind eye like mine this health care bill doesnt seem all that bad, good in fact. come 2014 im sure we all will be helathier and happier
Jane — LOL. I know. That pic made me laugh… that's the only reason I used it, bad as it is.
Steve — Nice to see ya back! We'll be catchin up on the Sox Blog too. And, do you mean to say Posada isn't gonna play forever?
Matt — There's a lot of muck involved… from both sides… and it's not perfect, but it's the 21st century and we're behind when it comes to universal coverage IMO. So I feel we're moving in the right direction at least.
Ah yes, the fiscally liberal mind – compassionate and "liberal"…with other people's hard earned money. Oh well, at least Jeff is one step ahead of the rest of us…he speaks Chinese so he'll be able to suck-up quicker to our soon-to-be Chinese overlords.
Haha! Well, Jonestein, the Chinese are socially inferior to U.S. America in a lot of ways, but they do take care of their own sick people, so I gotta tip my hat. And since the government is going to spend my money and your money and other peoples' money ANYWAY, it might as well be for a good cause. I'd much rather it go to being able to keep my fingers and toes than to fund a two full-scale wars we cannot possibly win among other myriad government projects that are going nowhere… like, er… the Patriot Act, and "such as, the Iraq. Cuz they don't have maps."
So selling us out to the insurance companies is a "good cause"? ROFLMAO! Did you even read this effing bill? And this "gonna spend our money anyway" mentality? Weak. Do you honestly think it's an either/or situation?
Here's a novel idea: how 'bout we elect people that are genuinely interested in scaling back ALL federal spending, which includes our little foreign adventures and ill-conceived social programs? (If you are assuming I support the redistribution of other people's money to military contractors, the Constitution shredding "Patriot" Act, and that scam that is, like, The Iraq, then you are sadly mistaken.)
And with healthcare, how about electing people who are interested in addressing root causes, you know, the piles of legislation/regulation already on the books that got us to where we are today, instead of piling on more legislation to fix what they broke in the first place?
Or how 'bout this: Albert Pujols sucks!
(Nothing like a little ad hom-by-proxy to stroke the ol' spleen)
Jonestein, AP does not suck and you know it🙂 Now, as for the political candidate you described, well, I don't think such a thing actually exists. Right? At least, I don't recall ever having the option to vote for someone of that caliber. Like my mama always said: deal with what ya got and try to make it better. I'm dealing… wanna run for office to make it better? I'd vote for ya. The bottom line for most people doesn't involve all the backroom stuff, it involves getting health care when one needs it.
Wrong. The Libertarian Party is chock full of exactly that type of candidate. If people would free themselves from the shackles of "wasted vote" syndrome and voting for the "lesser of two evils" (as well as the misinformation spread about libertarian ideas), we'd get these candidates in office and see some actual "change" instead of the never ending spending-spree ping-pong tournament being played by the two faction looters of Theater D.C..
As for Pujols, he will only avoid suckitude if I am the lucky one that gets to nab him in our upcoming fantasy draft.
Gotcha. Well, I hope you get him too, so I can cheat you out of him with a slick trade😉. As for the Libertarian candidates, I can name one, Ron Paul (but wasn't he more of a Diet Republican?). In my district I've never seen one Libertarian candidate run for office. Let them be known! I don't mind Libertarianism… I welcome it… but there needs to be more action and less talk about action, in my humble opinion.
Unfortunately, your definition of "action" appears to be more patchwork legislation to cure the ills caused by the last 30-40 years of patchwork legislation that screwed the healthcare pooch in the first place. This latest monstrosity of legislative ineptitude will do nothing but drive up insurance premiums for everyone. Don't even get me started on the mandate that all citizens will be REQUIRED BY LAW to purchase insurance, whether they can afford it or not, AND the inevitable new layer of bureaucracy that will have to be created to ensure that we Proles purchase our Victory Insurance Policy.
Ron Paul is about as libertarian as they come. "Republican-Lite" is just another misinformation meme.
As for not finding candidates, you just aren't looking very hard:
…besides, the Republicrat written election codes in each state make it incredibly difficult for any non-Republicrat party to even get on the ballot…I'm betting Illinois election codes are as screwy as those in Texas.
Anyhoo, I suppose we should take this off-line, as I'm sure RSBS Nation is beginning to tire of this thread.
Oops, I retract the not looking hard enough comment, we were talking Theater D.C., not Theater Illinois…my bad, was trying to blast in a post while rushing off to a meeting.
Fair enough. At the end of the day, I just don't want to be punished for the randomness of getting sick … it's personal. And like I told you before, it sucks. Thanks for the links. I'm interested. I just don't know enough about the party to make an educated argument for or against right now.
I may be simple minded but without baseball I feel that I am in a huge black hole.

About Quotezone
Compare insurance with Quotezone.co.uk
Quotezone's UK insurance quote technology allows you to compare car insurance from UK motor insurance providers in real time, so you only have to fill in one form to compare over 100 providers. Our insurance comparison systems also compare home insurance (buildings and/or contents cover), van, bike, travel, pet and breakdown insurance.
How Quotezone Works
When you buy something in shop or supermarket, quite often one shop charges more than another for the very same item – it's the same with insurance. Brokers sell policies which are provided by insurance providers, but they charge their own prices. So, you might find that one broker charges more than another for the same policy.
At Quotezone, we compare quotes from various different providers, so you could find the deal you want at a great price. Car insurance comparison could be made easier using our free online service.
You may be looking for a cheaper price than your renewal quote, or you may be looking for your first insurance policy, either way we could help. Just fill in your details, then you will see a results screen with prices and other features of the policy displayed on screen to make it easy for you to compare insurance quotes.
*51% of consumers could save £200. We split the providers on our system into different categories. We then selected quotes from the high volume sales providers as well as quotes from other providers which returned a price. Based on UK insurance market share data made available by the ABI, by way of a weighted selection process, we selected the cheapest of either the high volume sales providers or other providers ("the cheapest selected quote"). We then compared the cheapest quote on our system against the cheapest selected quote. We then took the savings figure which 51% or over could have saved using that formula. The savings you could achieve are dependent on your individual circumstances and how you selected your current insurance supplier.

While we are probably tired of the afternoon thunder storms that have plagued Wasatch County the past few weeks, we are fortunate that those same storms didn't produce the outcome that Colorado has faced.
But what if they had? Do you know what to do?
Our Wasatch County Emergency Management team, and specifically Valorie Cummings, has put out an impressive "Personal Emergency Preparedness Booklet" that was recently featured in the Wave. This comprehensive book is receiving accolades from all across the nation for it's concise and easy to understand information.
It covers events that present serious threats to our survival, such as terrorism, power outages and hazardous materials releases, as well as natural disasters — flooding, tornadoes and seismic events that will, at some point, test our resiliency.
Luckily, with the information found in the book, The Wave "weathered the storm" during the power outage Wasatch County experienced yesterday - which happened to occur right on our deadline. We were able to break out the generators and lanterns and carry on so you could read your hometown newspaper today.
We don't think Wasatch County is finished yet this year with the wild weather we tend to get during the fall months.
If you haven't done already, pick up one of these guides from the County Offices and make an emergency plan.
Your life just might depend on it.

LA CRESCENT, Minn -- About 1,000 people gathered Saturday to honor a woman who's life was lost way too soon.
LizFest took place at Veteran's Park in La Crescent, to honor 25-year-old Elizabeth Melde of La Crosse, who lost her battle with lung cancer earlier this year. She was a non-smoker.
Her husband helped organized Saturday's event.
People enjoyed some live music, a beer garden and a dunk tank as well as volleyball and golf tournaments among other things.
Elizabeth's husband said he hopes this event does more than just keeping her memory alive.
"I'm hoping that it will raises funds to help with research, because the reason that lung cancer doesn't get the funds is because people consider it a smoker's disease and there just isn't that much sympathy. But my wife along with 28,000 people die from lung cancer [each year] and they're not smokers," said Matt Melde.
News 8's own Mike Thompson also took a couple dips in the celebrity dunk tank for the good cause.
Melde's husband hopes LizFest will become an annual event.
He also hopes to start a non-profit "Living for Liz," to fight lung cancer and promote healthy everyday living.

Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

All Expense Paid Trip to Tampa…
He's got to go…
My patience for Chien-Ming Wang to find himself effectively ended today. The Indians defeated the Yankees 22-4 in what should stand as the worst beating at the new Stadium for quite some time (or let's hope so).
I don't want to see Wang pitch in New York again if this is what we have to look forward to. I realize that he can't be sent down (out of options and would have to have at least five years of service to agree to go down which he does not have). He should be sent to the Yankees facility in Tampa for an extended spring training (if that's possible) to work on re-establishing himself as a major league pitcher because right now he's not one.
Wang's ERA now stands at 34.50…
In Pete Abraham's LoHud Blog this morning, he said that if Wang threw three complete game shutouts, his ERA would still be over 4. No telling how many complete game shutouts it would take now.
Over the past few years, the Yankees have thrown up a few of these clunkers but this is on the heels of the Tampa debacle last Monday. Of course, the common denominator is Wang.
The Indians scored 14 runs in the second inning. Wang's pitching line reads 11/3 innings, 8 hits and 8 runs. Anthony Claggett, called up from AAA Scranton earlier today (Juan Miranda was sent down), gave up 9 hits and 8 runs in 1 2/3 innings. Claggett now lays claim to the worst ERA on the staff at 43.20. Looking at the ERA's of all the NY pitchers that appeared in the game is frightening. Edwar Ramirez, who gave up 4 runs in 2 innings, stands at 8.44. Jose Veras, who gave up 1 run in 3 innings, is at 8.53, and Damaso Marte, 1 run in 1 inning, is at 21.00.
I know that the Yankees have been hit hard by injuries, but I'd have to believe that Joe Girardi's seat just got a little hotter.
Clearly, New York needs to get Wang away from the magnifying glass so that he can work on correcting himself and getting back to the pitcher we saw early last season before the foot injury in Houston.
I am ready for Phil Hughes to make his 2009 debut at the new Stadium. Phil is 2-0 in two games (11 2/3 innings) with a 2.31 ERA for AAA Scranton.
I am sure that Julia is enjoying her day…
There are a few pitchers on other teams that I like to follow. Some of my favorites are Jon Lester, Scott Kazmir, Clayton Kershaw, and Ubaldo Jimenez to name a few. Another one is Tim Lincecum. Unfortunately, Lincecum received a no-decision today despite 13 strikeouts and no runs in 8 innings (he gave up 5 hits). The Giants lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks on a 9th inning two-run double by Chris Young. Speaking of the D-Backs and Giants, Sunday's pitching match-up is Max Scherzer against Randy Johnson. It should be interesting to see how the Unit performs against his former team…
Phillies fans said goodbye to legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas today at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. It was a beautiful day (warm with lots of sun), so it is a fitting farewell for a man who will never be forgotten…

Well, as I so often say early this baseball season, tomorrow is a new day! Have a great night!

Why oh Why does it make me smile when Wang plays? But I have to say, he does look like a more productive cheerleader. Hope tomorrow is better. Keep smiling – at least Wang can't play again for a few days!
Scott – I don't even know what to say! You know I love seeing the Yankees lose, but I feel sorry for you Yankees fans! I don't even know where to begin. If George was still running the day-to-day would Joe still even be with there? I'd like to say "don't worry – it can't get any worse tomorrow" but I don't know if that is true. It is early in the season but wow!! Is it cruel for me to ask that the Yankees don't solve their problems until after next weekend? You know, you could become a Red Sox fan! We are winning and our pitching is pretty good.
Like the song Scott – "2 out of 3 ain't bad!" Good night in Boston!
Have a great one!
What IS the story with Wang? Is he hurt, or is he just going Rick Ankiel on you?
You have Wang, and WE have Joel Hanrahan. I think we're BOTH convinced these two skivosas don't belong in MLB, after today (in your case) or the last 2 games (in MINE).
At least OUR starting pitching has gotten better…lol
I dread tomorrow, if the Nats get a lead. PLEASE, Manny, DO NOT send Joel Hanrahan in to save a game for the Nationals!!! God, we need to scour the free agent market for a closer…
Scott – I'm torn on this one. On the one hand having Wang pitch next Friday at Fenway could be quite delightful; but I so would not want him to break out of his slump there. But, I have looking forward to the Red Sox giving A.J. a thrashing on my birthday!😉
I'll be at a friend's birthday party all day and will miss the game, Scott. So hold down the fort for us and please don't let us lose to Pavano. There's only so much a person can take!
Sorry Jane – I was just stopping by to say that so far – Pavano looks pretty good! And home run #18 in the New Yankees Stadium? Strange things a happening Scott.
That home run call will be debated for weeks to come. TBS announcers – the channel I'm watching – don't agree with the call – they feel the fan's glove was over the railing and should have been called for interference. The Yankees' saga continues. My guess chalked up another "W"!!
I don't exactly feel the same way about Dice-K because fortunately, I can't say I'm in the same situation as you😉. I am quite concerned about Dice-K though, and he is getting an extended Spring Training. Maybe Wang can too, like you said. I really like LIncecum too, and I want him to get the win lol
I felt really bad for Wang. It must be difficult for any pitcher to go out there and get shelled like that, but especially in New York, with the swarm of media and crazed fans. And it doesn't really help that he pitches to contact and doesn't exactly have the best defense behind him right now (not that that's been his problem, he was getting hit pretty hard).And go Sharks! Seriously, if it ends up being a Vancouver-Anaheim Western Conference final, that will just be too much for me to take.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Scott – what's up with the Sharks? You can't let them lose to the Ducks!!!

BSC Alumnus Dr. Shannon Bowling Returns to His Alma Mater as Electrical Engineering Technology Professor
CreatedFriday, October 07 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—At Old Dominion University, Dr. Shannon Bowling was the graduate program director of the largest Engineering Management Program in the nation. This fall, the Bluefield State College Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) graduate has returned to his alma mater as a member of the faculty, and he's certain that his career move was the right one.
"I'm delighted to be at home," the Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Technology noted during a break between classes recently. "Spending one month at BSC has convinced me that coming back was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made."
Bowling brings a balanced appreciation for new education technologies and "old school" hard work to the table. At ODU, he received the "Teaching with Technology Award" and the "Faculty Innovator Grant for his work in developing online and distance learning courses using the latest technology.
His presentations at national conferences have detailed the equipment, software, and practices that institutions of higher education can implement to develop live online interactive courses to students anywhere in the world. "I was very fortunate to be at the right time and place to be one of the first people in the world doing this," he continued. "I've had students on oil rigs in Siberia taking my classes in real time from an Internet satellite connection. It's very rewarding to be able to provide education to people who would otherwise have had no opportunity to continue their education."
He envisions tremendous potential for BSC to provide these access-enhancing opportunities for residents in rural West Virginia and Virginia who would otherwise have to travel great distances to either the BSC campus in Bluefield or to the College's classrooms at the Higher Education Center in Beaver.
The future of higher education over the next 20 years is both exciting and scary, according to Bowling. "We have to accept the fact that the world has changed and will continue to change," he continued, "and it's not going to return to the way things used to be. We must embrace the potential for technology and see how it can benefit both the students and their faculty."
Upon returning to BSC, Bowling hopes to help a new generation of students just as he was helped during his undergraduate years at the campus on the terraced hills. "People like Frank Hart (Dean/School of Engineering Technology & Computer Science), Roy Pruett (Professor & Department Head/Electrical Engineering Technology) and John Cardwell (Vice President/Student Affairs & Enrollment Management) really inspired and assisted me when I was a student," Bowling recalled. "I hope that, in my career, a few students can site me as someone who had a positive influence on their lives, as well."
"One of my goals is to help them understand how competitive they really are, both in industry and in graduate school," he said. "The students at Bluefield State have a work ethic that is amazing."

Portland Becomes First Salmon-Safe City
Mayor Hales issues Salmon-Safe challenge to other West Coast citiesRead More…
Phone: 503-823-4120
1221 SW 4th Avenue, Room 340, Portland, OR 97204
On Monday, Mayor Charlie Hales officially becomes the commissioner in charge of all Portland Bureaus.
For about 90 days, anyway.
"We're going to try this while we craft the next year's budget," Hales said. "I want the City Council members sitting together as a 'board of directors,' each equally vested in each bureau."
The proposed budgets for all bureaus now are available online. The City Council will spend the next few months debating the budgets and looking to close a budget shortfall of at least $25 million.
Portland has an unusual governance system, in which each member of the City Council directly overseas bureaus. But starting Monday, and extending for approximately three months, the council members, known as commissioners, will focus on the city budget as a whole, not on selected portions of the city budget.
Bureaus include: Planning and Sustainability; Development Services; Emergency Communications; Parks and Recreation; Police; Fire; and more.
Mayors Vera Katz and Tom Potter also adopted the all-bureaus-under-one-roof approach, at the start of their budget seasons.
"We are facing a general fund shortfall that could be much worse than $25 million," Hales said. "We're all in this together. We have to get our financial house in order."

Should Women remove their non-baseball hat during the National Anthem?
Update 4/22/12: Michelle Michell posted in my FB page:
The Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem
In 2007, the U.S. Congress addressed etiquette for the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem in 36 USC 301. When saying the pledge of allegiance, citizens of all ages should stand at attention, face the flag, and salute by placing the right hand over the heart. Men should remove their hats, and women any sports caps.

Thank you Russel, I have learned a few things doing this post with responses here and on Facebook. There is a link that someone posted there that I will post here.
I respect your opinion. I feel that I still respect the flag and our nation (I became a US Citizen when I was like 30) even if I have a hat on but if it offends anyone, I take it off.

Funding and space deficiencies are commonplace in the correctional industry. Jurisdictions across the United States deal with overcrowded conditions, which often leads to the absorption of programming space to accommodate inmate housing. The lack of programming space leads to a lack of inmate services and rehabilitation, which helps contribute to higher recidivism rates. It's a downward spiral that hasn't stopped for years in many communities.
However, some agencies — especially in small communities — are finding a solution to the problem by joining forces to build and operate regional jails. The facilities are popping up throughout the United States in areas where it is more cost-effective to cooperate than to stay the course alone.
One of the latest regional jails to open is the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Maine, a facility jointly operated by Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties. It's the only regional jail north of Virginia on the East Coast, according to planners and officials, who opened the facility in November.

The plan to create a regional jail for Lincoln and Sagadahoc sprouted from difficult situations that both counties faced at about the same time.
Project Team
Owner/Operator: Lincoln & Sagadahoc Multicounty Jail Authority
Owner Representative: The Gilco Corporation
Architect: SMRT Architects
Construction Manager: H.P. Cummings Construction Co.
"The library became a male housing unit," says Wayne Applebee, jail administrator at Two Bridges Regional Jail. "The county jail did not have the ability to hold inmate programs or have an area for staff to be trained because all the space was being used to house as many inmates as the facility could hold."
Additional inmates who could not be housed at the facility were housed for a fee in other counties that had bed space in their jails.
The housing scheme posed a problem for the judicial system because it was often difficult for defense attorneys to make long drives to see their clients.
"When inmates are away at another county jails they tend to not get through the court system as fast, so they spend more time in jail," Applebee says.
"We have a program in Maine where if an inmate is put to work, every two days an inmate works he gets a day off his sentence," Applebee says. "But, if you are the receiving sheriff of a boarding inmate, you have no incentive to give the inmate work because you want to collect the revenue."
To make matters worse, the Maine Department of Corrections forced Sagadahoc County to end a 10-year contract to house inmates at the Kennebec County jail because the facility was overcrowded. The only other options for Sagadahoc County were significantly more expensive.
Outside Consultation
"After we were hired to do the needs assessment for Lincoln County, we were hired a few months later to do the needs assessment for Sagadahoc County," says Curtiss Pulitzer, the firm's program manager for the regional jail project. "That is when we basically made the recommendation to both counties to get together for a combined facility."
However, there were several hurdles to bring the idea to fruition.
The firm convinced both jurisdictions by presenting information on the benefits of a regional jail and it also took officials on tours of existing regional jails.
"We took them to Virginia to see other regional facilities and they came back very convinced that the model worked," Pulitzer says.
The benefits are multi-faceted, he says.
Staffing savings are achieved because positions are not duplicated by each county. There is only one jail administrator, maintenance manager, food-service coordinator, and so on.
"We were able to show that staff savings would help pay back the debt on the jail by combining resources," Pulitzer says.
The combined resources of the counties also allowed for improved inmate programs. In addition to standard education, religious and drug dependency programs, the facility has a computer lab and officials are working on establishing a jail industries program that will provide life-skills opportunities for inmates while operating a small business at the jail.
Red Tape
Getting both counties to agree to the regional jail was just the first step of the process. In order to get funding for the project, a bond referendum that asked voters in each county to approve $12.3 million for the $24.6 million, 170-bed jail had to be passed.

In November 2003, 55 percent of Lincoln County and 60 percent of Sagadahoc County voters approved the measure.
While the sheriffs and county commissions in the two counties, and rotary and church organizations pushed to gain support for the bond referendum, attorneys hired by the counties and a state legislator were busy drafting legislation that would allow for a regional jail in Maine, which had never before seen such an endeavor.
The legislation passed with little fanfare and the Sagadahoc and Lincoln Multicounty Jail Authority, which includes officials from both counties, was formed to oversee management of the facility.
But, one more step had to be taken. Since the Authority and the facility were entirely new, Pulitzer's firm was tasked with creating the operational structure for the jail.
"We had to organize not only the design and construction effort, but we also had to create the staff positions that would run the facility," Pulitzer says. "We had to create a whole infrastructure to run the operation."
With construction completed on time and on budget with few hitches, the benefits of the regional jail should be apparent in coming months as the facility comes online.
"Even though it is not the biggest project we've ever done, it certainly has been one of the most rewarding," Pulitzer says. "This is the first time we have helped create a whole new entity and a whole new authority, and basically become the board of directors for an agency."
As an added bonus, Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties will eventually have the opportunity to completely reverse their former situations by housing inmates from other counties for a fee in jail space that was deliberately built to do so.
"Our budget allowed us a four-month period to work with our own county populations before we start accepting populations from other counties to make sure that our systems are running smoothly and our staff is handling our issues OK," Applebee says.

We just tried solids out last week (avocados). I was going to wait until he was 6 months, but he was showing all the classic signs that he was ready. Well, so far he's hates it. We've tried mashing it, putting BM in it, BLW.
The kicker is that he will not take a bottle either and I'm going back to work at the end of December. He'll take a sippy cup only if there is water!
I'm so worried that he will "starve" the 8 hours I'm away.

Additional Facts About 4 Paw Rated Bags
Facts About Dog Waste, Consequences of Using Regular Plastic Bags, and Why You Should Use PoopBags
- It is estimated that dog owners do not collect over 4 million tons of dog waste annually
- 20-30% of all pollutants in waterways attributed to dog waste: Pollutants originating from rainwater run-off via sewer systems, and dogs pooping near watersheds or beaches. Overall, it is believed dog waste is third or fourth on the list of contributors to bacteria in contaminated waters
- Plastics are the fourth highest generated waste in the U.S., originate from petroleum which is non-renewable, do not biodegrade, and take thousands of years to break down. Paper, yard trimmings, and food scraps are the top three generated. However, all of them come from renewable resources
- Plastics are the least recycled with a 6.9% recovery rate. In 2006, the U.S. produced 29.5 million tons of plastic and only recycled 2.04 million tons
- Various plastic bag manufacturers use the term "biodegradability" loosely and lightly, but not PoopBags. The ASTM specifications that PoopBags adhere to requires that the material is fully tested to ensure that it will degrade in a timely manner, and that no large plastic fragments should remain
- Bag manufacturers – who claim their bags are biodegradable or compostable but do not meet the ASTM specifications - are misleading consumers and are acting negligently towards the environment
- California's law, SB 1749, maintains that bags should meet the ASTM D6400 specification for compostable product claims. Several other states are also instituting policies like California. Our 4 paw rated bags proudly meet the ASTM D6400standard
SustainabilityBiodegradable and compostable. Meets ASTM D6400 specifications.

Lance Corporal Joshua Taylor
Lance Corporal Joshua Taylor, 21, passed away after an explosion at Nevada's Hawthorne Army Depot during training exercises on Monday, March 18, 2013, that also took the lives of six other Marines.
Born on April 27, 1991, Joshua was the son of Jennifer (Stephens) and Robert Collins.
Surviving are three sisters and one brother, Gabrielle Taylor, Rebekah Taylor, Franklin Taylor and Ashley Hocker. Step-siblings include, Alyssa and Benjamyn Collins. Joshua is survived by grandparents, Larry and Tammy Stephens and Barbara Eilers; and great-grandparents, Wayne and Ella Stephens and Mary Ross and Jack and Wanda Wagner; and many aunts, uncles and cousins also survive. Joshua was also survived by his fiancee and high school sweetheart, Abigail Malone; they were to be married on May 11, 2013 in Marietta.
Josh graduated from Marietta High School in 2010, and upon graduation, immediately entered the Marine Corps. After basic training, Joshua was stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and served tours of duty in both Afghanistan and Kuwait. From a very young age, Joshua chose to serve his country and the Marine Corps was always his first choice, and to be always faithful (Semper Fi). Josh's enthusiasm and love for the Marine Corps was evident when he was featured by a New York news station for Marine week in New York City. He was born to be a Marine and you see his passion as he educates the public in his specialized area of mortar weaponry.
The family wishes that Joshua be remembered for several things in his 21 years of life; a short, but full, life well lived. He loved to spend time at home with his family; he spent countless nights playing board games and card games with his sisters. Josh loved spending time with Abbey and planning their wedding together. He also loved working out, swimming, was a gun enthusiast and loved to target practice. Joshua valued people; he had a smile and gentle mannerism that left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Whenever he was out and about in the community, if Joshua spotted a veteran he would go out of his way to approach them, shake their hand and thank them for their service. A few of the traits that stand out among family and friends is Josh's unabashed and unwavering love for his mother, his family and his fiancee. He was a 'true young gentleman' with a very compassionate, giving and loving heart.
Family and friends alike acknowledge with sadness the sudden loss of Josh, but also the joy that his presence in their lives brought them. He will be remembered for his gentle spirit, huge, beautiful smile, his 'gorgeous burst of red hair,' and his unfailing faith.
Visitation will be 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Friday at Hadley Funeral Home Reno Chapel, 1021 Pike Street. Funeral services will take place at Marietta High School auditorium, with full military honors 10 a.m. Saturday. Officiating at Joshua's service will be Keith Malone and Brian Stewart. Graveside services and burial will be in Mound Cemetery.
Donations can be made to the Wounded Warriors Project or the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).

A volatile week for bitcoinRebecca Stropoli at Yahoo Finance 2 yrs ago
After an extended period of relative calm, bitcoin has experienced some considerable swings to the downside over the past couple of weeks, and even saw its own mini "flash crash" Monday. For a brief moment on the BTC-e exchange, the value of bitcoin plummeted to $309, although it quickly recovered from the drop some speculated may have been linked to margin trading, which the exchange introduced in November. Meanwhile, the Coindesk Bitcoin Price Index tumbled $60 to a low of $435.60; it has since recovered to trade at around $480 on Tuesday afternoon. This was the first time since May that bitcoin saw its trading price go below $500. Lesser-known cryptocurrencies litecoin and darkcoin were also hit during Monday's rout. There was no one particular peg to Monday's downward movement for bitcoin, although the price has seen declines since July, when New York became the first state to propose firm regulations for cryptocurrencies. Last week the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau also issued a warning on bitcoin, noting, "Virtual currencies may have potential benefits, but consumers need to be cautious and they need to be asking the right questions." This kind of volatility is hardly ...
What else could Ballmer buy with $2 billion?Rebecca Stropoli at Breakout 2 yrs ago
Not long after the TMZ audio leak that made Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling an instant pariah, it became clear he was unlikely to hold onto the NBA team for long.
The question then was not so much "who wants to buy the L.A. Clippers?" as "who doesn't?" Folks including Magic Johnson, Larry Ellison, Oprah Winfrey, David Geffen, Matt Damon and even Frankie Muniz expressed interest in releasing the team from the clutches of an owner perceived by many as a repugnant racist.
Amid 'Blackfish' controversy, SeaWorld beats on earnings
Seaworld (SEAS) on Thursday reported fourth quarter 2013 earnings that beat analyst expectations, noting a loss of 13 cents a share and revenue of $272 million versus analyst estimates of a 15-cent loss and revenue of $271.42 million. Looking ahead, the company sees fiscal year 2014 revenue of $1.49 billion to $1.52 billion, versus a consensus of $1.53 billion.
The Orlando-based SeaWorld, which has 11 parks total and three SeaWorld locations, has been the subject of much controversy since the 2013 release of the documentary "Blackfish," which claims to tell the true – and deeply unsettling – story behind the company's practices regarding captive orcas, often referred to as killer whales. The film, which reached a wide audience when CNN broadcast it last October, is highly critical of SeaWorld and its treatment of both its animals and employees. In particular, it focuses on the ill-famed orca Tilikum, who was tied to the deaths of three people, most recently in 2010 when trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed in front of a horrified crowd of SeaWorld attendees.
Bitcoin: Oh, what a wild, wild ride it's been
News of the Mt. Gox bankruptcy filing on Friday capped off a tumultuous week — and month — for bitcoin. Once the leading exchange for trading of the virtual currency, Mt. Gox is officially closed for business — and it's reportedly taken a huge chunk of bitcoins down with it.
So what happened? The Tokyo-based Mt. Gox has been generating negative headlines since early February, when it stopped allowing withdrawals, citing technical problems that, at least at first, seemed they might be temporary. But this explanation didn't sit well with bitcoin investors or Mt. Gox customers. The currency's price, always extremely volatile, plunged and some customers even began to protest outside the company's Japan offices, wielding signs that asked, "Where's our money?"
It seems they are now unlikely to see that money again, as Mt. Gox says hacking of its flawed computer system could be the almost half-a-billion-dollar-draining culprit.

Weight Watchers stock continues to shed points
If Weight Watchers (WTW) customers were shedding pounds as fast as the stock is shedding points, this would be considered a great success.
Shares are getting hit again Tuesday following Friday's massive 28% Valentine's Day decline in the wake of disappointing earnings. In late-day trading, the stock was down more than 4% to $21.13. Year to date, Weight Watchers shareholders have seen 35% of their investment decline, whereas in the past year the stock has lost more than half its value.
Barclays downgraded the stock following its sluggish quarter, taking it from equal weight to (ironically) underweight, cutting its price target from $31 to $15.
CEO Jim Chambers, who has led the company since last summer, conceded in the earnings call that the company has an innovation issue.
Meanwhile, even as Weight Watchers shareholders are feeling indigestion, there must be some happy shorts out there. The short interest in the stock is at a very substantial 64% of the float, according to Yahoo Finance data.
3D printing shares are seeing redRebecca Stropoli at Yahoo Finance 2 yrs ago
As the broad market rallies Wednesday, with the S&P 500 hitting a record intraday high amid positive data and strong earnings, some 3D printing stocks are seeing red.
The serious bleeding started after hours on Tuesday for 3D printer maker ExOne (XONE), which sank more than 13% in extended trading hours Tuesday after the company revised its 2013 revenue guidance to the downside, citing delayed sales approvals overseas. ExOne said its 2013 revenue would come in at $40 million to $42 million, which was down from its previous estimate of $48 million (and below analyst estimates of $48.32 million).
ExOne saw a downgrade to Hold from Buy, with a price target cut to $55 from $75, Wednesday at Canaccord Genuity.

Lattes for Everyone! The Pay-It-Forward EconomyRebecca Stropoli at Daily Ticker 3 yrs ago
'Tis the holiday season -- a time for joy, giving and, of course, crass commercialism and Scrooge-like cynicism. But for now, let's focus on the giving.
Over the past year, long before Christmas carols were clogging the radio airwaves, stories about drive-through generosity have been reported across North America. From a doughnut shop in Amesbury, Mass., to a bagel seller in Tulsa, Okla., to a Tim Hortons in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and, just last week, a Starbucks in Reno, Nev., customers are employing the "pay it forward" method to provide their comrades-in-automobiles with a gratis meal or beverage.

iRobot Shares Rise as Google Makes Fresh Robotics DealRebecca Stropoli at Yahoo Finance 3 yrs ago
Robots may someday rule the universe, rendering humans a subjugated underclass beholden to their automated masters. But, for now at least, they're just ruling some headlines. News broke over the weekend that Google (GOOG) has acquired Boston Dynamics, an engineering firm with military ties that's widely known for its manufacture of extremely speedy, disconcertingly animal-like robots including the BigDog, WildCat and Cheetah. The sum of the acquisition has not been disclosed; this is the eighth robotics company search-giant Google has acquired in the past year, and the first one with a military connection.
Is Barbie's Allure on the Wane?Rebecca Stropoli at The Exchange 3 yrs ago
Are there cracks in the facade of Barbie's Dreamhouse? Mattel's (MAT) second-quarter earnings report did not, on the surface, tell a pretty tale regarding the iconic fashion doll's global sales, which were down 12% for a fourth straight quarter of declines.
Mattel CEO Bryan Stockton noted that Barbie still reigns as the largest doll brand in the world, and its annual revenue is at around $1.3 billion. But the eternally youthful, improbably proportioned, always well-dressed Barbie, who celebrated her 50th birthday four years ago, may be showing some signs of fatigue. On the plus side for Mattel, doll sales as a whole are "one of the fastest-growing parts of the toy industry," up 11% in the U.S. and 4% in Europe through May, Stockton noted. Yet Barbie, sold in some 150 countries, appears to be going in the wrong direction. What's behind it all?

Food Stamp Issue Derails Farm Bill as Recipients at Record HighRebecca Stropoli at The Exchange 3 yrs ago
Last week's dramatic defeat of the farm bill in the House put a fresh emphasis on the issue of food stamps in the U.S., just as the number of recipients for the program sits at a record high.
The 195-234 vote against the $500 billion farm policy bill, a version of which the Senate passed earlier this month, came amid congressional disagreements regarding cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Keen focus was placed on an amendment put forth by Republican Rep. Steve Southerland, which required beneficiaries to sign up for employment-training programs in order to continue receiving food stamps. Many Democrats, who may have been willing to OK the $20 billion in food-stamp cuts the House version included, balked at the amendment, and only 24 ultimately voted for passage of the bill. Another dysfunctional-family blame game between the GOP and Democrats ensued as the defeat provided a serious blow to House Speaker John Boehner.
As the article points out, the relaxed rules are "one reason why SNAP appears to have evolved from a program that rose and fell with the unemployment rate to a more permanent feature of the landscape."

I had been doing child-led weaning, but I am not sure she's ready. Maybe I read her signs wrong, or maybe she was just going through a phase where she didn't want to BF as much. Over the last few days, Olive has been getting cranky more easily and feeling more anxious when i walk away. She wants me constantly. I am taking this as a sign that she's not really ready, and that she wants to BF some more. I read in What to Expect the Second Year (she's 12.5 mos. now) that when they aren't really ready they get anxious and very needy of mommy.
This is fine with me. I will nurse/BF as long as she likes. Problem is, I got my first period since we got pregant a week ago, and I'm not producing as much milk. I think she wants more than I have to give. Oatmeal has worked before, so I think I'll try that. And hydrating more too. I haven't been drinking enough water either. and i coul always eat more well-rounded meals . . .
My ped congratulated me on finishing a full year of BFing -- he was always very supportive. He also seems to understand what fortitude it takes to do it. He says, however, that breast milk loses thickness and potency after a year and that it's pretty thin and not necessarily as good nutritionally. Not sure if he's exactly right about that & dont really care because I do know this: Olive's not ready, and I'm actually glad because the day after my period was over, I realized that she won't be my baby forever and just sobbed after i got her to sleep. So this little time we have left to BF will be very special because I get a second chance sort of. We never stopped altogether but had eliminated all but first thing in the a.m. and last thing at night.

A very good friend of mine has Ehlers Danlos. She really really wants to nurse her little girl but is having some problems. I am looking for advise from someone who has either BTDT or has some knowledge about this.
This is from her.
"major issues (latching issues and biting causing bruising and bleeding, not helped by my EDS) so i've been supplementing with formula and breastfeeding, but i'm thinking about trying to EP.
the lactation consultants that i saw have tried different things, but nothing seems to help. i really think my EDS makes it just that much harder because of the additional swelling, bruising, and pain."
Right now she is doing both (pumping and BF with formula to fill in the gap) any advise for successful breastfeeding? I'll also post this in the breastfeeding 0-3mo forum.

WINONA, Minn. -- For its second week, Minnesota is at a statewide standstill.
As Minnesota's statewide government shutdown drags on into its second week, elected officials are at an impasse on the state's budget.
Both sides have compromised a little on their original budget proposals, but not enough to reach a deal. And that's what is keeping the state at a standstill.
"I think we need to put those games aside, put that rhetoric aside. Both sides have compromised and both sides need to continue to compromise," says Sen. Jeremy Miller.
But State Representative Gene Pelowski says what Minnesotans should be concerned about is not the shutdown, but the budget that will follow it. "The shutdown is one issue. But it masks, really, the permanent issue. People are laid off in the shutdown. They're still getting paid until July 15 and they'll get unemployment. Once this budget, though, goes into effect, there will be fewer jobs and fewer programs and that is a fact," says Pelowski.
In the meantime, the state shutdown may have some dangerous consequences. While you can't buy a Minnesota lottery ticket during the shutdown, you can get a gun permit.
The Winona County Sheriff's Department still has to make a decision on whether to issue someone a permit within 30 days, even though the shutdown makes them unable to run a full background check. They can still check out criminal history, but they can't perform a human service check to see if the applicant has ever been committed to a mental institution.
Winona County Sheriff David Brand says, "I am concerned because you know if somebody's been in a mental institution or ill, maybe he's been violent in the past, you know, I'm concerned about that. It's a liability on the sheriff's department and on me."
If the state doesn't get back on its feet soon, we could end up seeing even more of the shutdown's unwanted side effects.
Both Senator Miller and Representative Pelowski says they are optimistic that a resolution will come soon.
Minnesota state legislators can choose whether or not they take a paycheck while government operations are stalled.

The example below shows an XML schema used by an application which records information regarding quotations people have made (Thanks go to Christian Wenz for the scenario which is from his book entitled, "PHP Phrasebook", SAMS Publishing.). An XML document following this schema will contain a quotes element containing a number of quote elements, each of which consists of a phrase and an author element and a year attribute.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
<xs:element name="quotes">
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="quote"/>
<xs:element name="quote">
<xs:element ref="phrase"/>
<xs:element ref="author"/>
<xs:attribute name="year" use="required" type="xs:integer"/>
<xs:element name="phrase" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="author" type="xs:string"/>
The code extract below shows how SDO can be used to load the XML schema and a quotes document and then add a new quote entry to that document.
1 $xmldas = SDO_DAS_XML::create('./quotes.xsd');
2 $xdoc = $xmldas->loadFromFile('./quotes.xml');
3 $quotes = $xdoc->getRootDataObject();
4 $quote = $quotes->createDataObject('quote');
5 $quote->phrase = $_POST['quote'];
6 $quote->author = $_POST['author'];
7 $quote->year = $_POST['year'];
8 $xmldas->saveDocumentToFile($xdoc, './quotes.xml');
The eight lines of code above do the following:
1. create and configure a new XML Data Access Service (DAS) with an XML schema.
2. use the XML DAS to load and validate an instance document.
3. retrieve the quotes currently contained in the document.
4-7. create a new quote and populate it with information posted from a form.
8. save the quotes (including the new quote) back to the xml file.
The same task takes 14 lines of code in DOM and in my opinion, DOM code is far less intuitive. I found it more difficult to understand the data structure from the code, because of the generic XML vocabulary of the DOM APIs. However, it is worth noting that the XML Data Access Service requires the existence of an XML schema, whereas DOM does not.
Because SDO knows about the XML schema, it lets you access the elements and attributes directly by name. The same is true of SimpleXML, however SDO can also be used to create new documents from scratch, or in this case, new fragments of XML. SimpleXML is limited in this regard because it only has knowledge of an instance document, rather than the schema. Again, it is worth noting that SimpleXML does not require the existence of an XML schema.
The SDO API does not reveal which names correspond to XML elements and which to XML attributes, but still outputs XML which follows the provided XML schema. Personally, I think this is quite neat, because often the choice to use an element or attribute in schema design is arbitrary and down to personal taste. This article nicely sums up the feelings I had when I created my first ever XML schema.
