Update: Three Year Agreement Reached Between Air Brake, Union
New York Air Brake and its 151 member union reached a contract agreement Saturday, according to both the company and the union.
Union members voted to accept the deal during a meeting at the Northside Improvement League in Watertown Saturday. The parking lot was packed with the vehicles of union members.
"Even though it's not really what you had hoped for, it emerged as the logical choice," said John Carr, a spokesman for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
Two weeks ago, workers authorized a strike after rejecting a company proposal that would have cut wages, affected retirement plans and allowed the company to use more non-union help. However, workers also agreed to stay on the job while negotiations continued.
"I'm especially proud of the workforce during this time that allowed us to get the agreement in place and continue good high quality normal operations," said Michael Hawthorne, Air Brake president.
Air Brake plans to add as many as 50 new jobs in Watertown, with the closing of a plant in Kingston, Ontario later this year.
Under the contract that just expired, the average Air Brake worker made $20.88 an hour.

Plain English campaign news articles
Losing your will to live - plain English instead of legal jargon
- Details

Plain English Campaign have been watching the BBC 2 programme 'Can't take it with you' and clearly so have many other people, judging by the increase in queries received at the campaign office on the subject of wills and probate.
Let us know about any difficulties you have with understanding the wording of wills.
A few years ago, the outcry on this subject resulted in the Government calling for regulation among the growing number of will writers. Those without a valid legal qualification fall outside of the compensation currently available from The Law Society, in the event of disputes resulting from unclear will writing.
The Law Society are launching a campaign to press for better regulations in will writing. Plain English Campaign supports this and the need for plain English in all legal documents, wherever possible.

Mists of management-speak

The fog of jargon and management-speak has left many of us wandering clueless. The now sadly familiar word, 'redundancy', used for losing a job, is cushioned with ever more obscure words such as, 'displaced', a term originally used to refer to refugees. One employee was told that their job was to be 'offshored', although it is doubtful that this referred to working from an exotic island office. And the latest cloak for bad news refers to redundancies as 'transitioning out of the business'. Naturally, no-one likes to be the bearer of bad news, but this lack of clarity can raise suspicion about the true message.
Plain English Campaign have previously criticised the 'ploddledygook' found in communications from the police. But a recent joint news release from Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire police forces, is a damning example of the serious danger of words that can hide the true meaning.
Award winners receive industry recognition
- Details
- Created on Monday, 07 February 2011 16:05
In 2009, Plain English Campaign launched a new awards category that would look at the clarity of the spoken word.
We feel that the campaign's fight for clear communications should relate to all channels for sending and receiving information. Books, newspapers and other printed documents will probably never disappear, but people now have to cope with even more information than ever. And sometimes information created for one communication channel does not work as well in another without being completely rewritten or redesigned.
This makes plain English a clear choice for whatever way you choose to communicate. And to prove it works, we are proud to announce that the winners of our 2009 Plain English Communicator award, Ashbourne Radio, have now been awarded (with High Peak Radio) further recognition for their clear presentation style.
Foreign Office plainly rumbled

At last year's Plain English Campaign awards, a Golden Bull was awarded to the Foreign Commonwealth Office for a jargon-filled job description. The FCO graciously acknowledged that plain English was a better way to communicate and even produced their plain English translation of the original text, which can be seen on our Golden Bull 2010 winners page.
Below is their reply:
"The Foreign and Commonwealth Office attaches importance to clear communication, particularly with the British public.
This document, although for internal use with a specialist audience, did not meet these standards. Like the many other organisations who have received "Golden Bull" awards in the past, we accept it in the spirit in which it was intended - an encouragement to us to do better.
We would be grateful if you would publish this response and the translation below.

In Omar I Trust
Do I seriously think we're going to see one of the top 3 names being bandied about for starting pitching? Is Zito, Willis, or Matsuzaka going to be a Met next year? Nah, I wouldn't bet on it.
What else? We won't have Soriano, nor likely my fave for 2nd, Julio Lugo, and quite possibly not any of the big names we're fantasizing about in blogland.
But I am so not concerned.
Because I fully believe in the brilliance of Omar Minaya.
With Omar we have someone who understands the whole picture of a player, beyond his stats and reports. He thinks creatively, figuring out the smartest way to get past whatever obstacles stand in his way. He's got the deep pockets but won't overpay. He's persuasive, fatherly, astute, strategic, and genial. He knows the right thing to say and when to say it.
If he gave me lottery numbers, I'd play them every day. If cigarettes had an "Omar Minaya" warning instead of a Surgeon General's, people would quit smoking. I hear in a future episode of the new hit, "Heroes" (an awesome show!), someone will develop the power of thinking like Omar Minaya and save the world. Omar Minaya now controls Congress.
Omar Minaya's like a master jigsaw puzzler: He's able to see the entire picture as if it's laid out before him. He knows what pieces we are missing, and better yet? He knows how to find them. When Omar's done with his jigsaw puzzle, all the pieces will fit snugly together. And the picture that will result? Why, a championship trophy, of course.
So let's hypothesize, opine, and guess away at our future team, because it's fun. But whatever the results are? I know I'll swoon. Love ya, Omar!

Hey Zoe…
Love the photoshop! I've got the utmost faith in Omar too… but I'm still hoping he pulls something off for one of those pitchers🙂

What's in his left hand? Baseball card? ID?
Hmm, I enlarged the image on photoshop, and though very pixilated, if I had to guess, I'd say it's an SNY ID card.
I know O-Min is going to come trough🙂
All those names are nice (although I would rather have the Lorretta/Valentin combo 'cause I'm not a fan of Soriano's attitude) but let's see what happens in the end.
I know things are going to be done and done right !
I am also bowing to the Photoshop skillz.

International Studies Department
Why Study International Studies at Fisher?
A Global Perspective Using an Interdisciplinary Approach
Fisher's international studies program will prepare you to understand and work in the global community. Initially, you will be introduced to various disciplinary approaches by taking ISPR 100, "Introduction to International Studies," and then a selection of four or five courses that explore world politics, cultures, religions, economics, and contemporary affairs.
Throughout your undergraduate studies, you'll choose your own field of specialization by concentrating on a specific theme or a specific region. Since all international studies majors have the opportunity to study abroad for either a semester or a year, you are encouraged to select a concentration that will be enriched by your foreign study experience.
The program also provides for individual interests through a senior thesis, an independent research project which develops research and public speaking skills required in graduate school as well as in the work place.
Program Requirements
The Undergraduate Catalog contains the most current international studies program information, including requirements and course descriptions.
Study Abroad
As an international studies major entering Fisher as a freshman, you will be required to spend at least one semester during the junior year studying abroad (in exceptional cases, you may request that this requirement be waived).
You'll have access to over fifty foreign universities and colleges in Europe, Latin America, Asia, or Africa to choose from. Fisher is one of the few area colleges to promote international study by enabling students to apply all financial aid received on campus towards the cost of the affiliated overseas programs.
If you are a transfer student majoring in International Studies, you will be strongly encouraged (though not required) to take advantage of the opportunities for foreign study.
Honors in International Studies Program
International studies seniors who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 may apply to become Honors majors. Eligible students, under the direction of their Honors advisor, undertake a semester-long research project resulting in a paper that will be orally presented and defended.
"The international studies program is small, yet the faculty has a tremendous amount of experience to offer. Because of this, students benefit. Small class size and highly-skilled professors translate into a personalized and thought-provoking environment."
Maherly Schaeffer, ISPR Graduate Student

A Child Is Born: The Cubs/Cards Debate
Whoo wee! The Democratic National Convention is in full stride! How about that Michelle Obama speech!?! Smart lady; but she didn't say anything I (a card carrying Dem) hadn't already heard, so I'm going to skip the commentary all together (just for today) and get right to what's going on:
I'm an uncle!
Again, yes, my sisters are having kids like crazy. But let me tell you, dear readers, this child's birth has much more at stake than usual. Depending on how you look at it, the impact of my young nephew's entry into the world is paramount. You see, Caleb Ryan (that's his name) is the son of my sister (a devout Cardinal fan) and my brother-in-law (a die hard Cub fan). Indeed, Caleb Ryan's fandom future is of the utmost concern.
If he is to be a Cubs fan, he will offend his mother (not to mention me and the rest of our big, bad, Cardinal family).
If he is to be a Cardinals fan, he will offend his father (who could easily take me in a fight, not to mention the rest of his Cubby crew family who could also probably take me in a fight — each of them, one by one, until the end of time).
Caleb's choice will not be easy. An entire genetic line awaits his decision. And so I cringe at what I feel is already the inevitable.
For his father is a Cubs fan and the father has the most influence in this decision, right?
My sister, though devoted in her Cardinal Nation following, still probably couldn't name anyone on the team except Albert Pujols (because he's Pujols) and Adam Wainwright (because according to her, he's "super cute").
On the other hand, my brother-in-law is a force of baseball trivia — a man who knows the game (and his team) inside and out — one who probably would never allow the birds-on-the-bat to be displayed across his young son's chest.
After much consideration, I have come to the conclusion that I am, at last, okay with that. Because if my sister and her husband have proven anything during their four year marriage, it is that their relationship is the ultimate paragon of compromise: they give and take, stretch and lean, move in tandem up-and-down and side-to-side, always staying in tune with one another through thick and thin (and any other cheesy cliche you can think of). To put it in perspective, folks, their license plate reads: CUBNLS.
For this, they have my highest respect. So too does their child: Caleb Ryan.
As you can see, this kid is so cute that even if he decides he'd rather root for the Northsiders regardless of how sick it might make me, he will always have my heart.
And that, dear readers, until the end of time will always be worth more than any game, any city, any rivalry — ever.
I know it's asking a lot of my new nephew, but I sure hope he doesn't hate me… at least not 'cuz I'm right.

Nice Post!!
The Baseball Collector
Very touching and from the heart. Maybe Baba can tilt his decision some, only time will tell. For once we don't have to hate you cause you are right, (JUST THIS ONE TIME)
i hope the little boy disappoints both his mother and father and becomes a yankee fan🙂
V – http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com
Let's hope he's a Cubs fan!! My cousin is a Sox fan and her boiyfriend is a Cubs fan… they're both HUGE fans and their future children are in trouble. Congrats though!
Thanks for the comments, all. I think it would be really funny if he became a fan of another team entirely. They live in the Houston area so there's always a chance he'd be an Astros fan, though that would bother me more than the Cub thing. The Astros? It just would not be right.
we could always put a little Sox uni on him and make him a southsider… I'll buy, hey, I'm even near Houston, it's a real possibility! 🙂

A national report shows shoppers may be stuffing their stockings a little more this holiday season.
The National Retail Federation projected holiday sales will increase 4.1 percent this year, its most optimistic forecast since the recession.
It takes a special breed of person to brave the crowds at the mall on the day before Christmas, especially when that person is already done with all his holiday shopping.
"Well, I came to view all the craziness," said Alex Sharon, who spent the morning at Valley View Mall.
Even though he wasn't there to shop, Alex Sharon spent a pretty penny on his holiday gifts this year.
"Well, we just got engaged, so I spent a little over a thousand just on her," said Sharon.
He might be setting the bar high, but he's definitely not alone in spending more on the holidays this year.
Valley View Mall General Manager Jeff Odom said the NRF's predictions has been pretty consistent with what he's seeing.
"I think we're going to be trending to what the National Retail Federation put out -- around a 3-4 percent sales growth compared to last year," said Odom. "The feedback that I'm getting across the board is that it's been a good holiday season."
Part of that may have to do with the timing of Christmas this year. Since it falls on a Tuesday, shoppers have had an extra weekend to buy gifts.
It's made a big difference at Valley View Mall.
"Saturday was a huge day for us, probably the biggest day of the year. Sunday followed up just right behind that," said Odom.
And while some may dread holiday shopping like a lump of coal in their stockings, shopper Brytani Shea said it's the best part of the holiday -- even if it's cost her $800 this year.
"I guess I'm a fan of giving," said Shea. "It's definitely my favorite part of Christmas."
The NRF reports holiday shopping can represent 20-40 percent of some retailers' annual sales.

There is no secret that semiconductor industry cannot boast with huge profitability these days, which is why both Infineon, a chip giant from Europe, as well as Qimonda, a dynamic random access memory controlled by Infineon, will need to find investors from Asia to survive in the long term, said Max Kley, Infineon's supervisory board chairman, in an interview.
In an interview with Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Mr. Kley revealed that Qimonda has been negotiating with an investor from a Chinese province who has sufficient capital and plans to establish a semiconductor fab in China. However, since Qimonda filed for insolvency in January, all the talks are now handled by insolvency administrator Michael Jaffé.
According to Mr. Kley, things are tough for Infineon as well: the company has to refinance over €1 billion of debts over the next couple of years, which will be hard to say at least due to global financial crisis. The company has attempted to merge with other players, such as Freescale or NXP, but it did not make a lot of sense due to rapid changes on the market.
There are proposals to create a European semiconductor giant, but Mr. Kley believes this hardly makes sense in the long term now that manufacturing is shifting to Asia.
"I don't think that this would be a good idea, [Infineon] of course is also looking [for merger partners] in Asia," EETimes web-site quotes the supervisory board chairman of Infineon as saying.
Nevertheless, this all does not mean that chip industry should completely withdraw from Europe and the governments should not do anything about this process.
"We need more public aid. Government research subsidies should not be restricted to renewable energies. We should not forget that the semiconductor industry is a key industry for many other industry branches, namely the automotive industry," Mr. Kley said.

This was Gillin's second year in a row competing in the high jump at state. As a sophomore, she got last place, but she came back with high hopes and higher leaps and placed first as a junior this year.
"I went and was nervous last year, and then the second year you are familiar with the surroundings and can focus on what you're trying to do," Gillin said.
Gillin goes for gold
High jump has been in Gillin's blood since the sixth grade. Prior to state, her best jump in competition was 5 feet, 4 inches and her best in practice was 5-6.
All it took to place first at the state competition was a 5-foot, 3-inch jump.
"I made two marks and it was dead-on and perfect," Gillin said.
Gillin placed second in regionals earlier this fall. She credited her success this season to listening to her coach, Tracey Dawson.
Marks are when a high-jumper marks where they start running from in order to measure and center themselves with the mat and make the correct curve needed for their run prior to jumping. She said this was her biggest improvement this season and that she was at the point where she didn't even have to measure her marks, she could just "spot and go."
Gillin plans on working with her dad and weight lifting in preparation for next season as a senior.
Thomas takes it in stride
"I didn't do so well, but I made it," Thomas said. "My plan was just to make it, so I made my goal."
For discus at the state level, throwers are allowed three fouls by stepping out of the ring or for throwing outside of the target zone before disqualification, and, unfortunately for Thomas, she was disqualified from the event.
"When I got there, everything seemed really cool; it was all new and big," Thomas said. "But once I started going, I kind of lost my concentration, so my throws didn't go exactly as planned."
Thomas said her technique is what improved the most this season. Instead of lifting weights like the other discus throwers, Thomas said she focused on footwork and velocity by "whipping" her right arm up and giving the discus more height to increase its time in the air.
This approach worked well for Thomas; she started the year throwing at about 95 feet, and her current personal best is 122 feet.
"I didn't think I would be that good until I got a good coach with coach Tony Taylor," Thomas said.
She plans on attending San Angelo State University and hasn't decided if she will continue to compete in discus.
Both girls said they wanted to thank their coaches, family and friends for supporting them throughout the season.
"Coach Taylor, you're a keeper," Thomas said with a laugh.

Special grand jury set to begin Tuesday
STEUBENVILLE – A special grand jury investigating additional charges in the August rape of a 16-year-old Weirton female is scheduled to begin hearing testimony Tuesday in the Jefferson County Courthouse.
The special grand jury was selected April 15 in a Jefferson County Common Pleas courtroom.
Trent Mays, 17, of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville were found delinquent by visiting Judge Tom Lipps of rape in connection with an incident involving an intoxicated underage girl on Aug. 11-12. Mays also was found delinquent of a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for having a picture of the 16-year-old victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone.
But Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced after Lipps' verdict that a special grand jury would be called to determine if anyone else involved in the case should be charged.
Assistant Attorney General William F. Schenck told the grand jury members that he predicts there may be 30 to 40 witnesses called to testify. Agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation are expected to be the first to testify.
DeWine, in a Thursday interview following the execution of search warrants at Steubenville City Schools facilities, said the special grand jury will meet three to four days a week until its work is completed.
"Grand jury proceedings are secret, so the public should not expect any reports from the grand jury until their work is done. Once the grand jury starts meeting Tuesday, it is going to be pretty quiet," DeWine said.
"The grand jury is to determine if other crimes were committed in connection with the rape of the 16-year-old Weirton girl last August. Phase one of this case was the juvenile court trial that saw two young men found guilty of rape. Phase two will be the investigation to determine if any other crimes were committed. We are looking at every aspect of this case. I hope people will believe when we're done we did everything we could to find the truth and that justice was done," said DeWine.
Retired Summit County Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove was appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court to preside over the grand jury after Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. recused himself.
BCI agents seized electronic evidence Thursday from Steubenville City Schools computers as part of the grand jury's investigation.
Documents associated with the search warrants have been ordered sealed.
The special grand jury has 14 members, nine of which will vote on whether any indictments will be returned. Of the nine, six are female and three are male. Four alternates, all males, were selected and will not participate in the voting of indictments unless any of the nine are unable to remain seated on the panel.
Seven of the nine members of the grand jury need to vote as to whether there exists probable cause to bring an indictment. A regular jury in a criminal case must determine guilt based on beyond a reasonable doubt, a higher level of confidence a crime was committed. Cosgrove said the grand jury does not determine the guilt or innocence of a person.

The "Heart" is extracted and rotated ninety degrees counterclockwise, to form the 3-by-4 tablet in the center of the Holy Table. The letters around the edge of the Holy Table are found by reading the letters down the columns of this table from the right side to the left. The letters are applied to the Holy Table, 21 to a side, beginning at the upper right corner and going counter clockwise.

In the first
article of this series, we learned how to make basic use of the Subversion client libraries.
We covered why one would want to use the Subversion client libraries
directly instead of simply calling the
svn binary
directly, the basic use of the Apache
Portable Runtime, which Subversion uses as its portability
library, and a few low-level Subversion constructs, including
svn_error_t and
svn_client_ctx_t. Finally,
we went over the first few functions necessary for making a minimal
Subversion client.
Let's continue with the example begun in the first article, expanding our basic client. The examples in this article will be written for version 0.20.0 of the Subversion API. If you are using an earlier version, you should upgrade. If you are using a later version, you should be aware that there may be some differences in the API, but the concepts should still apply.
Now that you've provided your company's web developers with a
minimalistic Subversion client application, which allows them to
deploy sites directly from your repository onto the web server,
they've become a bit more used to the idea of version control. Some
of them are even using the regular
svn command line
client. The rest, though, are a bit stuck. They still need a way to
interact with the repository to make changes to the sites that are
stored there, but they uncertain about using command line tools.
Fortunately, your newfound knowledge of the Subversion client APIs
will save the day. All you have to do is extend your client to
support a few more features. You've already got
status, and
update. There are just a few more you'll need to provide
to give them enough functionality to make changes to the sites they're
working on and commit them back into the repository.
First, a note about function targets. Many subversion commands
(and the underlying
libsvn_client functions which
implement them) can target either a working copy or a repository. For
example, you can use
svn copy to copy a file in your
local working copy and then commit that change back to the repository
later, or you can use it to copy a file or directory in the repository
directly. You would do this if you were tagging a particular release
of your software, for example. Generally, the effect you get from a
command that targets the repository directly can be achieved within
the working copy, as long as you follow it up with a commit.
The reason the functions can work on both the repository and the
working copy is efficiency. If you tag a new release of your software
by performing the copy in your checked out working copy, you have to
check out the directory that holds your tags as well as the one that
holds the version you are tagging, which could take up a lot of disk
space. Then when you do the actual copy, the client will need to
write many files out to disk as part of maintaining the working copy
(the contents of all the
.svn directories in the new
directory, as well as the actual files you copy). When you finally
commit, all the changes need to be communicated to the server. Doing
the copy directly in the server saves all this trouble, so it's the
usual way of working with large copies like tags and branches.
For the examples in this article, we use the
libsvn_client functions on the working copy, but using
them on the repository is essentially the same. It only requires the
addition of a new parameter which Subversion uses to hold the results
of the commit and a callback function inside the client context that
Subversion uses to get the log message for the commit. We'll cover
both when we talk about
To get your web developers started, all you need to do is give them
the ability to edit a file, verify that the change is what they want,
and commit it back to the repository. The editing part is
easy. Subversion doesn't actually require you to do anything before
making a change, so users can make changes in their favorite editor.
Once they've made a change, use
svn_client_diff to show
them exactly what they are going to be committing to the
svn_client_diff takes a number of arguments, but it's really
not that complicated. Here's the function prototype.
svn_error_t *svn_client_diff (
const apr_array_header_t *diff_options,
const char *path1,
const svn_opt_revision_t *revision1,
const char *path2,
const svn_opt_revision_t *revision2,
svn_boolean_t recurse,
svn_boolean_t no_diff_deleted,
apr_file_t *outfile,
apr_file_t *errfile,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool);
diff_options argument is an
apr_array_header_t * of
const char * command
line arguments to be passed to an external diff command such as GNU
diff. We can just pass an empty array, since we'll be
using Subversion's internal diff library to produce our diffs. It
doesn't understand any options yet.
path1 is the path
(or URL in the repository) for the source file and
revision1 determines which revision of that file to read.
path2 and
revision2 determine the
destination file.
recurse determines if the diff should
recurse into the target (if the target is a directory) and
no_diff_deleted indicates that there should not be any
diff for deleted files.
outfile and
apr_file_t *s that will hold the output of the diff
and any errors that occur. The client context is used for
authentication when diffing against a repository.
Here's an example of how to use
svn_client_diff to
find the difference between the version you have in your working copy
and the version you started with:
diff_wc_to_working(const char *filename,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool)
apr_array_header_t *diff_opts = apr_array_make(pool, 0, sizeof (char *));
svn_opt_revision_t rev1 = { 0 }, rev2 = { 0 };
apr_file_t *outfile, *errfile;
svn_error_t *err;
/* the revision we started with. */
rev1.kind = svn_opt_revision_head;
/* to the revision we've got here. */
rev2.kind = svn_opt_revision_working;
/* for your client, you'd probably want to open temp files for this, but for
* our purposes we'll just use stdout and stderr. */
apr_file_open_stdout (&outfile, pool);
apr_file_open_stderr (&errfile, pool);
err = svn_client_diff (diff_opts,
filename, &rev1,
filename, &rev2,
if (err)
handle_error (err);
Once the developer can see what changes have been made to the
working copy, a reversion back to unmodified files may be required.
Subversion provides
svn_client_revert to do just that.
svn_client_revert is pretty simple: you give it the path
to the file or directory in your working copy that you want to revert
and a flag to determine if the revert should recurse into
subdirectories. Then it will revert the current changes. As with
svn_client_status, you can include a notification
callback in the client context structure to be called for each file
that is reverted. Here's an example:
revert_notification_callback (void *baton,
const char *path,
svn_wc_notify_action_t action,
svn_node_kind_t kind,
const char *mime_type,
svn_wc_notify_state_t content_state,
svn_wc_notify_state_t prop_state,
svn_revnum_t revision)
printf ("reverting %s\n", path);
revert_wc_file (const char *path,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool)
ctx->notify_func = revert_notification_callback;
svn_error_t *err = svn_client_revert (path, FALSE, ctx, pool);
if (err)
handle_error (err);
Now that we've moved into the realm of editing files in the working
copy, we'll have to account for how that will interact with
svn_client_update. If you have uncommitted changes in
the tree and you update, conflicts can occur. When this happens,
Subversion will leave three extra versions of the file in your working
copy: the base version from which you started, your modified version,
and the new version from the repository. The file you had edited will
also have conflict markers inserted into it showing where the conflict
occurred. Once you have resolved the conflict manually--by removing
the conflict markers and leaving the file in its final state--call
svn_client_resolve to tell Subversion that the conflict
has been resolved. This will remove the other three versions of the
file and Subversion will then allow you to commit your changes.
svn_client_resolve is quite simple, so let's look at an
resolve_notification_callback (void *baton,
const char *path,
svn_wc_notify_action_t action,
svn_node_kind_t kind,
const char *mime_type,
svn_wc_notify_state_t content_state,
svn_wc_notify_state_t prop_state,
svn_revnum_t revision)
printf ("resolving %s\n", path);
resolve_conflict (const char *path,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool)
ctx->notify_func = resolve_notification_callback;
svn_error_t *err = svn_client_resolve (path, FALSE, ctx, pool);
if (err)
handle_error (err);
Now that you can edit files in your working copy, view diffs, and
revert unwanted changes, you'll need to commit the changes to the
repository for safekeeping. To do this, call
svn_client_commit. As you'd expect,
svn_client_commit uses some callback functions and batons
from the client context. In addition to the standard notification
callback, it uses a log message callback which fetches a log message
for the commit from the client application. In the
command line client, this function starts your
and returns what you write there.
The next example assumes you have the log entry before you call
svn_client_commit. Pass in your log entry as
log_msg_baton and have the callback just return it. To
make things fancier, use the
tmp_file or
commit_items parameters.
tmp_file holds the
name of a file that contains the log message. This file will be
deleted when the commit completes but will remain if the commit fails.
The user will not lose the log message.
parameter holds information about each item that is being committed.
It's useful for composing a default form for your log message.
svn_error_t *
commit_log_callback (const char **log_msg,
const char **tmp_file,
apr_array_header_t *commit_items,
void *baton,
apr_pool_t *pool)
*tmp_file = NULL;
*log_msg = baton;
return SVN_NO_ERROR;
With that callback you can now commit a change to the repository.
svn_client_commit introduces a few new concepts.
Besides returning a
svn_error_t to indicate an error, it
also takes a
svn_client_commit_info_t ** which it will
fill in with the results of the commit. Since this function can take
multiple different targets, we pass in an
* that holds an array of
const char * paths to
items to commit. The rest of the arguments are typical of
libsvn_client: a boolean that controls recursing into
directories, a client context, and a pool for memory allocation.
Here's an example of how this all works.
commit_item (const char *item,
const char *log_entry,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool)
apr_array_header_t *targets = apr_array_make (pool, 1, sizeof (char *));
svn_client_commit_info_t *commit_info;
svn_error_t *err;
/* yeah, i think this looks kind of nasty too... */
(*((const char **) apr_array_push (targets))) = item;
ctx->log_msg_func = commit_log_callback;
/* this cast is just because log_entry is const and the baton isn't. */
ctx->log_msg_baton = (void *) log_entry;
err = svn_client_commit (&commit_info,
if (err)
handle_error (err);
printf ("revision %" SVN_REVNUM_T_FMT " committed at %s by %s\n",
This gives your client the ability to make changes to an existing
file and commit them to the repository. Eventually they'll want to
add new items, so you'll need to use
This is another stereotypical
libsvn_client function. It
takes a path to an item (file or directory) in the working copy, a
flag to indicate if it should recurse, a client context, and a pool.
When it succeeds, the item is scheduled for addition during the next
commit. Showing an example for this function is pointless, so just
look at the one for
svn_client_revert and replace
revert with
add. It's really that
svn_client_add does have a quirk, though. Subversion
tries to guess at the MIME type of the file as you add it. While it
does a pretty good job of figuring out when something is a text file
and when it isn't, it doesn't yet try to determine anything else.
This means that if you add a PNG image, the
property will be set to
application/octet-stream, which
is all well and good for Subversion, but probably isn't what you need.
With this MIME type,
mod_dav_svn won't know enough to
serve the file, so you won't be able to easily view it in a web
browser. To make that work, you need to use
svn_client_propset to set the
to something more appropriate (
image/png in this case).
Here's some example code that shows how to do that:
set_mime_type_to_png (const char *target,
apr_pool_t *pool)
static const svn_string_t propval = { "image/png", 10 };
svn_error_t *err = svn_client_propset ("svn:mime-type",
if (err)
handle_error (err);
Eventually your user is going to want to remove a file from the
repository, so you'll need to use
Again, this function can work either on a local working copy or a
(possibly remote) repository. Its signature resembles that of
svn_client_commit. If you're using it on a repository
directly, pass it a
svn_client_commit_info_t **, to get
back information about the commit it performs and the url of the item
in the repository. The log message callback and baton in the client
context will be used to get the log message for the commit, and the
context's authentication baton will be used to authenticate.
If you're deleting an item from a working copy, pass the path to
the item on disk. You can also pass an
*, in which case Subversion will use its existing directory
lock, or
NULL to open a new lock.
force is
a flag to indicate that Subversion should delete the item even if it
is locally modified or unversioned, which normally results in an
error. Let's take a look at how you would use
svn_client_delete to schedule a file for deletion.
delete_item (const char *target,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool)
svn_error_t *err = svn_client_delete (NULL, /* this isn't a commit */
NULL, /* let svn open a new lock */
FALSE, /* don't force it */
if (err)
handle_error (err);
The remaining, relevant
libsvn_client functions are
svn_client_copy and
svn_client_move. Since
the ability to rename a file while keeping its revision history intact
is one of Subversion's selling points over CVS, a good client needs
this feature. Both functions have the same signature. They take as
arguments a
svn_client_commit_info_t ** (used to get
information about the commit that is performed if you use them on the
repository directly, just like in
svn_client_commit); a
src_path and
src_revision, which identify
the path (or url) for the source file and its revision; a
dst_path, which indicates the destination path or url; an
svn_wc_adm_access_t * (which can be NULL, like in
svn_client_delete); and, finally, a client context and a
pool. Let's see one last example, which copies a file within a
working copy. This could just as easily move a file using
svn_client_move, since they are the same from the point
of view of the calling code.
copy_file (const char *source,
const char *dest,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *pool)
svn_opt_revision_t source_rev = { 0 };
svn_error_t *err;
err = svn_client_copy (NULL,
if (err)
handle_error (err);
You're probably starting to notice that all the
libsvn_client functions feel pretty similar. That's
intentional. They reuse the same patterns. Once you've mastered one
function that commits a change to the repository, you'll be able to
use the rest with little trouble.
Even though we've gone over most of the functions in the
libsvn_client API, your client isn't perfectly complete.
There are still a number of interesting functions left, and your users
will eventually clamor for them. The source code to the existing
clients (especially the command line client distributed with the
Subversion source tree) is your the best guide, along with the
svn_client.h header file. Once you figure out what else
you'd like your client to do, dig in and get to hacking.

Council eyes port due diligence
WEIRTON – City Council is considering a resolution calling for the West Virginia Public Port Authority to undertake an immediate "due diligence, detailed investigation" of the local port authority and its subsidiaries.
The resolution, to be introduced at tonight's City Council meeting, also asks that, if an investigation is done and cause is found, the state "take any and all corrective actions necessary" and suggests WVPPA has a "moral and ethical obligation" to the people of Weirton to address questions surrounding the port's organizational structure, "including facts about their subsidiaries, financial information, cash management and transparency, background history of the principals involved, … allegations of non-payment or delinquent payment to vendors, allegations of non-payment of employees, clarification of employee classifications, reports of alleged threats of Eminent Domain as a means to acquire property, statements of unfounded authority to other parties and authorities, and other items of concern."
It states that to this point the city's "questions and concerns have not been satisfactorily answered … to a level that meets the city's responsibility to its taxpayers and citizens."
Notice of the proposed resolution was referenced on the list of agenda items for tonight's meeting, prompting The Weirton Daily Times to request a copy of that resolution in advance of the meeting.
Sponsoring the measure are Ward 6 Councilman David Dalrymple, Ward 3 Councilman Fred Marsh and City Manager Valerie Means.
The resolution to be introduced today comes nearly three months after the city joined with the Brooke and Hancock County commissioners in asking Senate President Jeff Kessler to initiate a post-legislative audit of the port's operation to address a number of areas of concern, including WAPA's organizational structure which they described as "complicated, unclear" with limited governmental oversight and lack of transparency as to the advisory role being played by Karl Keffer, who was previously associated with a port project in the Eastern Panhandle and was named in a pair of lawsuits alleging his company had failed to pay two vendors for hundreds of thousands of dollars in work they'd done for him on that project. Default judgments in those breach-of-contract suits against Keffer totaling more than $500,000 are on the books in Berkley County and Fairfax County, Va., where the suits were filed.
That February audit request stalled, however, after questions arose as to whether it would actually fall under Auditor Glen Gainer's purview rather than the post-legislative audit division.
Similarly, WVPPA Director Doug York has said local leaders asked him a year ago to do an audit, but in an April interview said it was "not within my statutory authority." He'd said he couldn't intervene "as long as they are completing the mission they were empowered to do legislatively, though he did say the Legislature could order an investigation or the West Virginia State Police fraud unit could investigate, as could federal authorities.
York also pointed out that while local port districts in theory lay claim to power of eminent domain – that's claiming private property for public use – the WVPPA board would have to sign off on it. State officials, including York, have made it clear they would be loathe to use eminent domain in West Virginia.
At its most recent meeting, several Weirton Area Port Authority board members had said it was incumbent on those involved in the port's operation to address the concerns that led to the audit being requested, including reports that workers and contractors were not being paid.
But after that same meeting, at least one worker who'd been under contract could be heard demanding payment of overdue wages.
Several vendors locally also have complained of non-payment, including Frank Hoagland, an ex-Navy Seal and founder of S.T.A.R.T. (Special Tactics & Rescue Training) in Mingo Junction, who insists he is owed more than $200,000 for security work his team had done at the port. Port officials dispute Hoagland's claim, with Acting WAPA Chairman B.J. DeFelice saying anyone who didn't get paid "didn't complete the work that was required or didn't complete the contract documents."
A memorandum of understanding was signed more than 13 months ago by Hoagland and DeFelice in which port officials outlined plans to seek grant funds for various security programs and initiatives, while S.T.A.R.T.'s Hoagland pledged to "cooperate and support" the application to implement security, domain awareness, communications, administrative, logistics and program management requirements. No grant money was awarded, however.
When payment wasn't made, Hoagland said he made various port officials aware of his concerns, including members of the board of WAPA's for-profit sister agency, Weirton Area Port Authority Inc., and the business side of the operation, Tri State Port Management, as well as WVPPA's York.
"An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is necessary to even start discussions," a board member wrote in a Sept. 19 e-mail to DeFelice, which is included in Hoagland's records. "I take it he does not have a contract or he would have taken legal action. From my understanding, these working groups were on a voluntary basis and therefore, we should completely disregard his requests.
"If he is interested in dealing with the port, please have him submit an official proposal that the board can review. Then if we decide to enter into a contract, we can then pay him for services rendered after contract date. If you want to set up a teleconference with him so we can listen to his plea and then reject, I am free."
At one point, Hoagland alleges a Tri State Port Management executive "expected me to take the monies owed to my team and use it as a part of an investment toward the port." Tri State Port Management is the port's private investment arm.
Hoagland's documentation also includes a July 26 text message, purportedly from another TSPM investor, saying he was "honoring our verbal agreement as I gave my word. As soon as I get enough free cash flow, S.T.A.R.T. will get every penny that I said."
Keffer, meanwhile, has been described by DeFelice as a key adviser to the port initiative.
Prior to his involvement with the Weirton port project Keffer had been "closely associated" with efforts to develop an inland port in the Eastern Panhandle, though it wasn't until the spring of 2010 when the breach of contract suits were filed against him and his company, Tantara West Virginia, for non-payment that his involvement became public knowledge. Hoagland has said he met with Keffer frequently in March and April 2012 to discuss port security and that Keffer gave him specific instructions as to invoicing WAPA/WAPA, Inc/TSPM.

Last week you probably heard about Democratic Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar controversial remarks during a debate on the House floor over a concealed-weapons ban on college campuses. He argued that women do not need guns. He said that women fearing rape may accidentally shoot that gun at others. : He said, "It's why we have call boxes; it's why we have safe zones; it's why we have the whistles – because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody."
The right went: ballistic on him in much the same way the left went ballistic on Todd Akin and his "legitimate: rape" remarks, and Robert Mourdock's remarks about : babies: conceived: in rape. During the Akin and Mourdock's remarks, I remained silent. Mainly because I was too angry to write about it (I've learned to never write when I'm really angry). Part of why I was angry was because the left and the media totally distorted both men's remarks (Mourdock's remarks were especially distorted), and they ignored their apologies. When a liberal says something offensive and apologizes, all is forgiven and forgotten (that is, if the msm even reports on it enough for it to be a real part of the news cycle), but if a conservative says something offensive, then they are dismissed and banned for life for their remarks. Apologies are ignored for the most part. But mostly I was angry because I have a family member, and a friend who have been raped. To use rape for political purposes is beyond the pale. It is wrong on so many levels. Reporters use it to frame questions in such a way to "catch" a candidate saying something that will make them look bad. In Salazar's case, he uses it to promote gun control.
Worst of all, Feminists use rape to promote a political agenda. : Probably the worst example of this is Leslie Marshall, a liberal pundit, who wrote an entire column in U.S. News bashing Todd Akin, claiming that she was raped when she was 19. She writes, "And I should know. I was the victim of rape at 19."
Yet here, on the Sean Hannity Show where she now wants to argue gun control and defend Salazar's remarks, she claims she wasn't a victim of rape, as she did her article, but that at 19 she fought off her would be rapist, and didn't need a gun to do it. She says, "If like me at 19, if you were the victim of an: attempted rape, and I didn't have a gun, and I did fight him off. : You can use self defense tactics if a gun is not at your disposable."
So, when bashing Republican Akin, Marshall says she was raped, but when defending Salazar, she says it was only "attempted: rape," and she fought him off.
This is: despicable. Was she lying about one or both? If she was, then in doing so: she: diminishes: the pain of all women who have suffered rape, by making up her stories to promote whatever political agenda she wishes to at any given moment.
Shame on Leslie Marshal, and shame on anyone who uses rape for political purposes.

Giant pharma deal reunites banks' $100bn club
A group of senior investment bankers who worked on Verizon's $130 billion deal with Vodafone last year are back in the boardroom for another potential $100 billion deal – Pfizer's approach for AstraZeneca.
Pfizer, the US pharmaceuticals giant this morning confirmed it had contacted AstraZeneca on April 26 seeking to renew discussions about a possible merger. The Wall Street Journal reported that a deal could be worth over $100 billion.
A mix of bulge-bracket and independent investment banks are working for the two companies: Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Guggenheim Securities and JP Morgan are advising Pfizer on its offer, with Robey Warshaw, Evercore Partners, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley working for the target.
The deal also reunites a group of bankers who sat across from each other the last time two companies came together for a deal of this size; Vodafone last September sold its 45% stake in Verizon Wireless to its partner in the joint-venture, Verizon Communications, in a deal valued at $130 billion.
People close to the Verizon/Vodafone deal told Financial News at the time that BAML bankers Adrian Mee, head of international M&A, and Fares Noujaim, executive vice chairman, had been particularly instrumental in the deal as advisers to Verizon, as had Alan Schwartz, chief executive of Guggenheim Securities.
Mee, Noujaim and Schwartz are representing their respective firms again on the Pfizer mandate, while Simon Warshaw at Robey Warshaw and Karen Cook at Goldman Sachs, who worked for Vodafone last year, are in the fold for AstraZeneca.
The bankers could be set for a protracted tussle. AstraZeneca – as it did when approached by Pfizer in January – has declined to engage, according to a statement released by the company this morning. "The board remains confident in the ongoing execution of AstraZeneca's strategy as an independent company and that its successful delivery will create significant value for shareholders," the statement read.
AstraZeneca said it received an initial contact from Ian Read, chief executive of Pfizer, in November last year, at which point he proposed that the two companies discuss a combination. Leif Johansson, chairman of AstraZeneca, agreed to an exploratory meeting and met with Pfizer on January 5 in New York but AstraZeneca wrote to Pfizer on January 12 rejecting the proposal.
According to this morning's statement, AstraZeneca had not had any contact with Pfizer since January. That was until April 26, when Pfizer requested that both companies issue a joint statement announcing they had entered into discussions regarding a deal. The board of AstraZeneca considered this request inappropriate, it said.
For Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Noujaim and Mee are joined by Michael Findlay and Geoff Iles on the mandate. The Guggenheim Securities bankers are Schwartz, Ken Springer and Jim Ferency, while Steve Frank, Laurence Hollingworth, Mark Breuer and Christopher Dickinson are on the deal for JP Morgan.
AstraZeneca is also being advised by long-time financial adviser to the company Francois Maisonrouge at Evercore Partners, Karen Cook is leading the effort for Goldman Sachs with Phil Raper also on the mandate, while the lead adviser at Morgan Stanley is Colm Donlon with Andrew Foster also named.

Where Did My Nails Go?
Yanks Win in 15 innings!
What a game! Altough there was no scoring for 15 innings, this was one of the most exciting games I have ever watched. It was that kind of edge-of-your-seat nail-biting palm-sweating I don't-want-to-move-because-I-might-jinx-them games. It is a no doubt Yankees Classic. The Yankees won 2-0 over the Red Sox.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett was a frickin' beast yesterday. It was a very important start for A.J., because he had to follow up from that bad one in Chicago, and he wanted to prove that he can pitch in big games against the Red Sox. His previous 2 starts against the Red Sox were also against Beckett, and A.J. was counted on to pitch well, but he didn't. Last night, he definetely redeemed himself.
Burnett pitched 7 & 2/3 shutout innings, and only gave up 1 hit to the first batter of the game. He walked 6 along the way, and also struck out 6. Every time A.J. got into a jam, he would get even tougher and get everyone out. He really pitched a phenominal game. He was incredible. That was the best pitching performance I have seen all year. And to do it against the Red Sox, that is amazing.
The Assassin killed Red Sox hitters last night.
The bullpen did a sensational job yesterday. Evey guy that was put in had a different intensity about him. They all knew that 1 mistake, 1 bad pitch would be the difference in the game. Hughes got the final out of the 8th, and that was all for him. Mo pitched the 9th. Alfredo Aceves pithed 3 beautiful innings for the Yanks last night. The Yankees depended on him to give them innings, and he did in a dominating way.
When I saw Brian Bruney on the mound in the 13th inning, I became even more nervous. I knew Bruney has a tendancy to give up home runs, and everyone knew 1 run would be the difference. But Bruney was superb. He was throwing gas last night. He pitched the 13th and 14th, and proved that he can pitch in tight spots, because nothing was tighter than that! Phil Coke pitched the 15th, and picked up the win.
The Yankee pitchers were absolutely fabulous. They all dominated. All of them must have gotten a huge confidence boost out of that game, especially Bruney.
Defensive Analysis: The defense was also superb last night. Like everyone else, they knew that 1 mistake, 1 bobble, 1 wild throw could cost the game. They stepped up their game, just like the pitchers. In the 1st and the 4th when Burnett was in a jam, they turned 2 beautiful 4-6-3 double plays to get A.J. out of trouble. They made every play.
Offensive Analysis: There really was not much offense, but there was enough. The Yankees had a few chances to score off Beckett, but they failed in all of them. They had chances to score before the 15th inning, but again failed in all of them. But then the 15th inning rolled along. Derek Jeter lead off with a single. Then Damon tried to bunt him over, but the bunt was caught on a fly. Then Tex made out, and it was all up to Arod. Arod had chances to do something before, but like everyone else in the game, he could not get it done. He was also in a long homer drought. If you believe in "due," you knew it was the time for Arod. I was going crazy with nervousness at this time. I was sweating, crossing my fingers, just trying to will a homer off his bat.
Arod did it. He hit a bomb into the left field seats, for a walkoff 2-run homer. Everyone was thrilled, except the Red Sox. A.J. Burnett had a pie ready, and pied Arod on the side of the head while he was being interviewed by Kim Jones.
It's a beautiful thing.
The Yankees now have a 4.5 game lead over the Red Sox. The heroes for the game are A.J. Burnett, for an excellent performance, the Yankee bullpen, for dominating and giving the Yanks the chance to win, and for Arod for winning it for us. It could not have been a more perfect end to the game, or a perfect end to my day! I hit the sack at 12:58, and although I was exhausted, I was too excited to notice it. I laid awake for awhile, but peacfully drifted to sleep with the thoughts of a dramatic Yankee win in my mind.

This game was so epic it was epicer than epic and therefore it is the Epic-est.

It was hard to sleep after that one, Virginia. I was too jazzed! It was a truly amazing game and I don't know how either team kept it together. I'm just so glad we won! Fingers crossed for another victory today.
LOL at your comment about your fingernails being gone! Mine have been gone since the 1975 Red Sox season. It's called baseball stress, Virginia! Thank God for acrylic nails.
What a fantastic win!!! I know you were excited. I felt the
same way with Andre's walk off homerun.
I was online watching the Rays and Seattle game and kept flashing back to the Gamecast on the struggle going on in the Bronx.
It almost looked like an early 1920's boxing match with each team going down to the canvas a few times, but no one delivering a shuddering right hook until A-Rod put one where they could not catch it.
That kind of game could set the tone for the next two, and could make for a possible Yankee sweep, which would be a incredible turn of events.

Haha, gotta love those nail biters🙂 Gaudin looks like an orange-bearded Abraham Lincoln. I wouldn't say he's cute. He did throw a two-hit complete game for us earlier in the season, but otherwise, he's been pretty bad. Who knows, he might turn things around with you guys, but he was not good with us. He had 10 losses!! By the way, congrats on the series win against the Red Sox. I'm wearing my Red Sox shirt today, but it obviously didn't work. You guys have played very, very well in this series.
Last night's game was bar none, one of the best Yankees/Red Sox games I've ever seen. It's right up there with the "Jeter catch" game, Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS and all 5 games of the Boston Massacre in 2006. This game had everything; great pitching, great defense…..too bad we didn't have great offense until the very end but hey…..we like making things dramatic.
This afternoon's game was just as great……thank God it ended in regulation!
Ok…that was a long game. It was really good. But man, you guys finally finished and my game was going into the 9th! Saw the game today as well. Just keep rolling out the wins! Wow…congrats…You can stop any day now. We'd like to try and catch up a bit…or at least overtake the Sox!🙂
I've gotta say, after this game I was probably more exhausted than the players. Now that's saying something! Amazing, amazing game!

Sure thing man

i said these guys would be next. :D
They are getting announced in the order they appear in the anime.
Edo Kakazu, Edo Kage's, Edo Nagato+Itachi should be on their way soon.
It's starting to look epic, now that some of the big names are been confirmed.
im really happy about this man because their seperate characters
i'm more happy looking at the top pic.
Seeing a zetsu stood in the background.
Gin/Kin Hack & Slash mode?? Hell yeah...
Well i was hoping for a boss battle not a boss battle and h&s at the same time but this is good to

I dont mind either way.
But taking on both at the same time would be pretty epic.
Hoping the Sage's Tools play a part in their jutsu/ougi's. They could be pretty Badass
This game is shaping up to be pretty badass! Cannot wait!
I wonder if we can do ougi in h&s but idk look closer and you cant see that thing the line idk how to say it
Originally Posted by PositiveEmotions

i know what you mean. Unless in Hack & Slash you dont have one.
Dont know if you've ever played Naruto:Ultimate Ninja Impact (on PSP)?
On that you could still do Ougi's, but it just took up A LOT of chakra, and did Area damage, not just on 1 enemy.
Maybe they brought the same concept over to UNS3 H&C mode?
Could be very good if they've done something like that
Yea that would be cool man but either way im happy that gin/kin are fully playable and separate
Gin and Kin are awesome.
Anyone feel like this game will only have 75 characters?
Why would it need more than 75??
NS:Generations only had just over 70. & that included the whole "before time-skip" generation.
They wont be in it this time round, so thats like 15-20 more spots that they need to fill, to get the same number of Characters.
The only new characters we've seen so far are hanzo, mifune, Gin, Kin, Dariu & possible 7 swordsmen?
(i'm not including sasori, asuma, etc... Because its likely that a lot of them will just replace the old versions, so will not take up an extra space)
So so far we have only seen an 5 extra (possible 12) characters. So they still have a lot more spaces to fill.
My guess is Edo Kage (another 4 spots), Edo Nagato & itachi (another 2), Kakazu, Dan, new Tobi & the Edo Jinchuriki (another 7)
Even with all those names, you are still left with another 10 spots left to fill??
(i know they were filler, but i am hoping they add the scorch-style & explosion-style users. Would be cool.)
Can anyone understand this language
Jump reports the Gold and Silver brothers from the First Shinobi War will be playable in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.

The Navy has offered to transfer land that known as the Northern Trap and Skeet Range into state hands.
The catch is, the Kalaeloa land is home to an endangered plant-- the akoko shrub.
Board members of the Hawaii Community Development Authority took a tour of site to get a firsthand look at what's at stake.
"If HCDA were to receive conveyance of this particular lot there would be a deed restriction that we undertake a specific conservation plan including regular water source, fencing and labeling," said HCDA executive director Tony Ching.
Protecting this small, fragile and --not very showy-- shrub would be expensive.
The state would have to keep the area clear of all the ground cover.
HCDA already owns another parcel where a cultural park is taking shape.
A non-profit group aligned with the Hawaiian Civic Clubs has been working to protect and identify important archeological sites.
There are 11 so far, including a rare intact trail built in the Tahitian style-- significant because of the style of vertical stone structures.
The area is noted for a system of underground caves and sinkholes that Hawaiians used for farming.
"You look around here. There is no water, no top soil. The only thing is you couldn't see it. It traveled as a traditional river did. Only thing is, it's underground," said Shad Kane, whose non-profit Kalaeloa Heritage and Legacy Foundation has permits to operate the cultural park.
And while protecting the significant coral structures is high on HCDA list, so is development.
The agency is moving ahead with getting critical roads, power and water in place.
One thing about Kalaeloa is that the military used to supply all of the utilities. HCDA is working with Hawaiian Electric to build a new transmission plant.
"The significance is a new substation would be the first link of bringing Hawaiian Electric power into this district," said Ching.
There is much to balance--as the landscape of Kalaeloa is transformed.

Dordt College News
Senior art show on display
April 15, 2014
Dordt College seniors Teddy Getenet, Nathan Morehead, and Andrew Steendam are presenting their senior art exhibit, with work on display in the Dordt College Campus Art Gallery through Wednesday, April 23. A reception will be held on Monday, April 21, from 7 to 8:15 p.m., a with gallery talk at 7:30.
"My artwork is a collection of designs I have created primarily for clients," says Getenet. "For me, art is intended communication through one of the five senses. Design is a way of getting a message across in an effective way."
Getenet is from Ethiopia, and he is majoring in art with an emphasis in graphic design.
"Whether the work is abstract, hyper-realistic, or somewhere in between, there is always a story being told through the work," says Morehead. "The story can be found within the subject image, the emotion of color, or by the brush strokes used."
Morehead is from Sioux City, Iowa, and is majoring in art with an emphasis in graphic design.
"Dordt is one of the few positive—and by far, the biggest—influences in my art. I had the chance to explore art in its many forms: sculpture, painting, drawing, video, and design," says Steendam.
Steendam is from Dugald, Manitoba, Canada, and is majoring in art, with an emphasis in graphic design.

Comments: I love this shoe! Super comfortable with great ankle support! I personally like the bright salmon and purple color combo and get lots of compliments, but also some people say they're ugly. I guess it just comes down to personal preference on the color, but you can't beat this shoe for comfort and running performance.

Comments: My wife loved them! I got them for her for mother's day and she said to continue buying her Mizunos. Great price as well! I try really hard not to buy running shoes anywhere else but from this website. They always have good offers, and expedient shipping.

Comments: This wave rider fits true to size unlike previous versions. Toe box much roomier than the 14. perfect fit - love this shoe.
