Area-Wide Demonstration of Chemical Alternatives to Methyl Bromide for Florida Ornamentals. Proceedings of International Research Conference on Methyl Bromide Alternatives. 28:1-3. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The studies reported here are part of the USDA-ARS Areawide Pest Management Program for Alternatives to Methyl Bromide South Atlantic Area and involve a cooperative effort between Florida in-ground ornamental producers, fumigant industry representatives, and researchers from the USDA, ARS and University of Florida. Fumigation with methyl bromide:chloropicrin (98:2 or 89:11) has been the standard method for production of high quality cut flowers, tubers, and bulbs. This material has allowed these industries to grow a large number of highly diverse crops and has addressed the need for control of multiple pests as well as for the control of propagules of previous crops as rogues in following seasons. Selection of species and varieties to produce is highly marketdriven, and methyl bromide has allowed for the flexibility needed to make rapid decisions on planting schedules. The studies reported here were designed to test the efficacy of the most readily available chemical alternatives, methyl iodide:chloropicrin (now registered as MIDAS®, Arysta LifeScience Corp.) and dimethyl disulfide:chloropicrin (EUP available as Paladin™, United Phosphorous, Inc. King of Prussia, PA), applied with standard equipment utilized by commercial applicators with currently available plastic films and application technology. Studies were designed as replicated, randomized complete blocks with split plots to accommodate multiple cultivars. Trials are on-going and conducted over multiple seasons. Two locations were selected for these trials. The first, in Hobe Sound, FL, included a methyl bromide standard application of 400lb/A (98:2), MIDAS® (50:50) at 300 lb/A, and Paladin™ (79:21) at 74 gal/A. The trial consisted of three replications per treatment with each main plot replicate representing a full lateral (26' x 110'). Plots were split to contain two rows each of delphinium cultivars 'Belladonna' and 'Bellamosum'. All materials were applied on August 8, 2007 by Hendrix and Dail using standard broadcast application equipment and 1mil clear plastic mulch. At the second site, located in Zolfo Springs, FL, the producer initiated a trial prior to the formal start of the Areawide project in which a standard application of methyl bromide (360 lb/A of 89.5:10.5 methyl bromide:chloropicrin) was compared to MIDAS® (50:50 at 300 lb/A) and Paladin™, (79:21 at 74 gal/A). All materials were applied using standard broadcast tarping procedures (1 mil) and had a previous deep shank application of Telone C-35 at 12-14". The Telone application was made by the grower with equipment provided by Hendrix and Dail. Application of the methyl bromide, MIDAS®, and Paladin™, was made by Hendrix and Dail. Each treatment was replicated four times and each replicate consisted of a full lateral with size ranging from 0.23 to 0.28 A per lateral. The trial was planted to the caladium cultivar White Queen. The Areawide trial initiated at the Zolfo Springs site included two formulations of MIDAS® (98:2 at 100 lb/A and 50:50 at 160 lb/A), Paladin™, (79:21 at 60 gal/A), and methyl bromide:chloropicrin (98:2 at 180 lb/A) all applied under high barrier, Blockade® plastic mulch (Pliant Corp., Chippewa Falls, WI) using raised beds. All test material applications were preceded by a deep shank application of Telone C-35 as previously described. Each treatment was replicated four times with a full lateral representing a main plot treatment. Each lateral was split into four sub-plots (one 600ft row each) and these were planted to four different caladium cultivars. Nematode and fungal populations at each field site were assessed prior to fumigation, two-to-five days following tarp removal, at mid-season of the crop, and at the initiation of harvest. Ten soil cores were taken in each plot using a 2.5-cm-diam soil probe. These were combined, and a 100-cm3 subsample was used to

Interstate Comparison of Output and Productivity in the Australian Agricultural Sector, 1991 to 1999, Discussion Paper No 161
Lee, Boon L. (2003) Interstate Comparison of Output and Productivity in the Australian Agricultural Sector, 1991 to 1999, Discussion Paper No 161. . [Working Paper]
|PDF (233kB)
The paper examines the output and productivity performance of the Australian Agriculture sector by state from 1991 to 1999. The aim of the paper is two-fold. First, the paper is a pioneer in a series which compares the performance of each Australian state by sector starting with the Agriculture sector. Second, it introduces the Geary-Khamis (GK) method for derivation of appropriate currency converters or purchasing power parities (PPPs) to enable proper quantification of real output and productivity at the multilateral level. It is essential to use appropriate PPPs as the differences in prices of farm commodities across states pose the problem of aggregation of real output. For the benchmark year 1996-97, gross value of agricultural production reveal that Victoria was 73% of NSW level, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data when price differentials are not taken into consideration. However, when appropriate PPPs were used, results showed that Victoria's level had gone up to 88% of NSW level. In terms of value added, Victoria's level with respect to NSW was 89% based on actual values and 106% based on Geary-Khamis PPPs.

Even if I got my oil refilled last week the oil light keeps going on. Anyone have this problem? If so ,do you know how to fix this?
Even if I got my oil refilled last week the oil light keeps going on. Anyone have this problem? If so ,do you know how to fix this?
Vehicle history? When did it start? Is it the STOP oil light?
Original Club B5 member: 16 Golf R. Missing my 99 B5 & 08 R32
The Stop Oil light does come on towards the end of my '3000' miles between oil changes.
Another light comes on indicating low oil levels on the regular, this has been going on for another 6-9 months.
When you say vehicle light, so you mean the check engine light? Have you used synthetic oil only?
It's possible you're looking at sludge issues on the stop oil light. You can find a bunch of stuff on here about it. Basically caused by people not using synthetic oil as recommended in the cars. The oil cooks at the turbo, makes "turbo turds", and starts clogging passages and the oil pickup screen.
Original Club B5 member: 16 Golf R. Missing my 99 B5 & 08 R32
Please don't listen to the guys at jiffy lube. Use full synthetic.
GTFA from jiffy boob.
DIY oil changes or die. They take 15 minutes, 10 if you use a pump. I would think about seafoaming or autrx'ing your motor, maybe drop the oil pan to see whats going on in there with the pickup screen. You have to have to have to have to use the correct oil in these engines, and I always go a step further and let the car idle for a couple minutes to help prevent said 'turbo turds'. Id think about installing a oil PSI gauge, your oil pressure is like your blood pressure, To high and your motor can stroke out, to low and you motor can pass out.
I fail to see anywhere here that the OP actually checked his oil level. Though to be honest, he most likely has real problems.
And anyone saying specifically NOT to use full synthetic oil in a 1.8T needs to be locked up.
Don't listen to anyone at Jiffy Lube. Better yet, don't even go there. Seriously, it takes longer to drive to your nearest Jiffy than it is to just do it yourself. Right oil (And not just any synthetic oil, but one that is 502 approved), right filter (buy the big one, Mann), save money.
Also, get in the habit of checking your oil level at least once a week.
There is a big difference between the oil light (for low oil pressure) and the check engine light. Your original post makes everyone think your engine is toast from low oil pressure.
For the CEL, you need to have the car scanned for codes. There are many different problems it could be, but without a scan, it will be a series of expensive guesses.
As for DIY, my dealership here only charges me $60 for the full synthetic and large filter...plus she gets a bath. afaik 502 approved oil and large filter are ~$50 unless you find good deals, another $10 is well worth someone else doing it and washing my car afterwards.
HAHA, sounds like a troll thread.
Maybe other dealers do it themselves; the Lexus dealer hand-washes the girlfriend's car. And leaves water spots all over it, every time.
I didn't buy my VW out of a passion for VWs, I bought it because it was a great deal, but I just don't know how to take care of the car itself. Never had a passion for cars, but I do know that basic knowledge is crucial.
Anyways, this sounds kind of expensive. I live in an apartment and we aren't allowed to work on our cars at all in the parking lot. I also have 0 extra time to go out and get the supplies and do it my self.
But yeah, I'll re-glaze over the posts to get a better idea of what my next steps are. I'd like my car to last another 3-4 yrs ideally so I'm definitely willing to do whatever it takes.
Are there any other commercial oil changing places you guys can best recommend? Or should I look for a private shop that works strictly on VWs or German cars?
I'd be hesitant to recommend any of the commercial oil change places. They might do a good job from time to time, but you'd have to watch them like a hawk - right oil, right filter, right amount - I've personally had them fail to put ANY oil in the car. Twice. And I'd say the chances of them replacing all ten fasteners on the belly pan are remote. If you can't do it yourself, and don't want to worry yourself sick every time, you need to find a VW specialist shop.

"Looking Back Series 2012"
Juggling school projects, studio time for designing garments, and maintaining a photography business might seem a bit overbearing for the average student. But, Jordan Matthews, a junior fibers major at Maryland Institute College of Art, wouldn't change a thing about her university lifestyle.
Throughout her college journey, she has discovered the two loves of her life: photography and fashion. As an experimental fashion student, Matthews has worked on her designing skills taking classes like silk screening and avant-garde design.
"I started out not really knowing anything about garment design, so I've had no choice but to become better", Jordan Matthews said. The first garment I made was a strapless dress. The idea of it was great, but the actual thing was horrible. The fit, the fabric, the finishing . . . I'm glad I've gotten better."
In April 2012, Matthews presented her first collection "Chance" at MICA's annual benefit…

Growing activity in carpet recycling has prompted new modifications in counter-rotating, twin-rotor continuous mixers. Technical Process & Engineering Inc. (TPEI), Lehighton, Pa., which has built continuous mixers for 30 years, recently introduced a patented rotor design for hard-to-recycle, low-bulk-density materials like carpet fiber and film (U.S. Pat. 7350960, Apr. 2008). Two of its model 9FRE mixers have been sold to compound and pelletize recycled PP carpet fiber at 4000 to 8000 lb/hr. The beefed-up mixing rotors have a first section with Lowenherz, or V-shaped, threads scored in the outer periphery of the rotor to increase feed rate, followed by standard melting screw flights, which feed into a "wing-type" helical mixer in the second half of the rotor. A patented pneumatic seal (U.S. Pat. 6390666) with a stepped metallic sleeve improves the rotor's upstream seal by purging contaminants before they reach the seals. The mixer's body section slides in and out on tiebars, exposing the rotors, which can be changed in 20 min. TPEI's continuous mixers are supplied as a unitized system with the mixer feeding a continuous ribbon directly into the throat of a single-screw discharge extruder for pelletizing or direct extrusion. The transition between mixer and discharge extruder includes a proprietary "J-Block" feed section for even flow of material into the extruder without surging, eliminating the need for metering or melt pumps.

Northern Utah's forecast as the new week unfolds calls for a mix of sunshine and rain with daytime high temperatures in the 60s.
While Monday was expected to be rain-free, after Tuesday's daytime sunshine comes evening rain, preceded by winds in the 10-20 mph range.
Southern Utahns had none of that, however. Temperatures for Utah's Dixie come Tuesday were to rise to 80 degrees, up 5-8 degrees from Monday's forecast. A mix of sunny daytime skies and breezy, evening horizons partially covered by clouds were expected.
The Utah Division of Air Quality rated the entire state "green," or healthy for breathing through Wednesday.

|Why does "forrest site" sometimes skip linkmap.html and do nothing else?
|Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:02:49 GMT
Hello Forresters, I have not searched to see if this issue has already been discussed because I wanted to quickly ask instead of adding it to 1 of my long todo lists because this issue just happened Yet Again™. I have been ignoring this issue for years and finally want to at least know what causes it. The issue is exactly as the Subject says: sometimes "forrest site" skips linkmap.html and does nothing else when I expect it to rebuild the static site. The rest of the build seems to work, but the "build" does not actually build anything. Sometime the same thing happens when I run "forrest site" again, but I do not think it ever happens more than 2 consecutive times before "forrest site" works as expected and does more than skipping linkmap.html. Investigating this issue has been a low priority for years because I am so used to it so I just keep running "forrest site" until it works as expected, but it is still annoying. Any ideas? I hope this is not a repost. Thanks, Brolin -- Sometimes I forget how to do small talk: <http://xkcd.com/222/> "If you have to ask why, you're not a member of the intended audience." — Bob Zimbinski, <http://webpages.mr.net/bobz/ttyquake/>

Zimbabwe's telecoms regulator, POTRAZ has granted 3G licenses to the incumbent mobile operators - without any evident tender for the licenses. The mobile operators will also be allowed to offer Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
The amendment of licences will enable operators to offer new services which are covered by the current legislation, but restricted by their current licence documents, the regulator said in a statement.
At the beginning of the year, Econet Wireless said that it had completed the installation of 3G base stations on its network, but was unable to switch on the service as the regulator has failed to release the required radio spectrum. The company has originally made an application for a 3G license in June 2007.
Econet Wireless is the largest operator in the country by subscriber numbers. According to estimates from the Mobile World, the operator ended last September with 977,000 customers and a market share of 64%. The country has a population penetration level of just over 12%.

Skillet-Roasted Lamb Loins with Herbs
Cathal Armstrong's family always celebrated the end of Lent with lamb, and preparing the meal became an all-day event that left the adults "snoring on the couch." Cathal's preparation for lamb nowadays isn't exhausting at all: He rubs the loins with herbs, garlic and shallots, then ties them up, sears them and finishes them in the oven. The result is succulent, delicately flavored meat.

WCW World Heavyweight Championship | Three Way Dance Match
Scott Steiner (c) defeated Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page
via pinfall at 16:01 when Rick Steiner interfered
At the turn of the year; Eric Bischoff made his return to WCW announcing that Bill Busch has resigned him as Vice-President of the company in order to turn WCW into a profitable organisation. In his first act of business Eric Bischoff decided to bring out his long time friend Kevin Nash announcing that he would receive a World Championship match that night on Nitro, stating that his job was to make money for WCW and in turn himself, and the man that made him the most money was Nash. This was not taken well by the other half of the World Tag Champions DDP, who told Bischoff that to make money they need to give the fans what they want; and that is DDP as World Champion. Eric Bischoff told DDP to mind his business or he wouldn't receive any money at all. Later that night just as Bischoff was about to aid Nash in winning the World Championship from Scott Steiner, DDP ran in and distracted Nash enough to allow Steiner to gain the win. Steiner showed his appreciation to DDP by shaking his hand but DDP showed his intent on going for Steiner's gold by nailing him with a Diamond Cutter. The next week Scott Steiner called out Diamond Dallas Page and told him that he won't get off lightly for double crossing him and calling him as bad as Nash and Bischoff; DDP came out and said he'd accept Steiner's offer if he put the one thing the fans wanted on the line. At the end of the night DDP and Steiner were facing of for the WCW Championship when Eric Bischoff came out and called the match off; allowing Kevin Nash to attack both from behind. On the following episode of Nitro, DDP called out Kevin Nash and told him that if he wants to win the WCW Championship he has to do it the right way and go through him, the argument was interrupted by Scott Steiner who told the tag team champions that he wasn't taking any chances and bought his brother Rick along to take the two out and challenged them for their titles. The two teams faced off in a hard fought main event when suddenly DDP laid out Kevin Nash with a steel chair causing the referee to call the match a no-contest, Bischoff suddenly appeared and announced that due to DDP's actions that he was awarding the WCW World Championship match at Souled Out to Kevin Nash. One week before the PPV, Eric Bischoff reannounced the main event for Souled Out when he was interrupted by DDP, who came out and told Bischoff that he was screwing WCW over for money once again. This was backed up by WCW Champion Scott Steiner who made his way to the ring and told DDP that he still has his problems with him but would much rather he got the shot at him at Souled Out because he fought for his chance. Kevin Nash then went to make his way to the ring when he was stopped by Rick Steiner who attacked him from behind, the three mean back Bischoff into the corner as he whimpered and decided to give DDP his shot and scurried from the ring. Bischoff then got on the stage and champed his mind saying it was on the condition that DDP defeat Kevin Nash tonight. As it looked like DDP was just about to beat Nash; Eric Bischoff appeared on the apron to distract DDP allowing Nash to regain control. Bischoff then proceeded to pass Nash a chair but DDP ducked the shot and Nash nailed Bischoff allowing DDP to hit the Diamond Cutter and win.
Bill Goldberg defeated Ric Flair
via pinfall at 13:20 when Goldberg hit Flair with the Jackhammer
Bill Goldberg was originally scheduled to team with Sid Vicious in a tag team match to determine number one contenders to the tag championships but due to an injury, Goldberg was left without a partner. When he approached Arn Anderson backstage for help, Arn said he knew just the man. As Goldberg stood in the ring opposite Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell; the famous music hit and he found out his tag team partner was Ric Flair. In a hard fought back and fourth tag team match, Goldberg and Flair seemed to be on the upper hand when miscommunication lead to Goldberg accidently hitting Flair with a spear, allowing Bagwell to line up Flair for the Blockbuster and score the pin. The following week, Flair went head to head with his recent opponent Buff Bagwell where he was successful in gaining the win. Following the match Bagwell and tag partner Lex Luger decided to teach Flair a lesson when Goldberg hit the ring and cleared house, but instead of showing gratitude, Flair pushed Goldberg away. Just days away from Souled Out, Bill Goldberg called down Ric Flair to the ring. Flair took exception of this claiming nobody calls out the nature boy, branding Goldberg an idiot and clumsy. Goldberg told Flair that if that's how he feels then why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is and face him at Souled Out
Sting defeated "The Franchise" Shane Douglas
via submission at 14:56 when Shane Douglas tapped to the Scorpion Deathlock
With Jarrett's new found business associate in The Franchise, the duo began to show their dominance by putting the boots into anyone who tried to cross their paths. This also included new number one contender Jarrett's United States championship; Rey Mysterio Jr. and The Filthy Animals. But throughout the weeks Jarrett and Douglas failed to notice the dark figure in the shadows watching their actions. Sting made his eagerly anticipated return saving the Filthy Animals from another beatdown and challenging Shane Douglas to face him at Souled Out!
WCW United States Championship Match
Jeff Jarrett (c) defeated Rey Mysterio Jr.
via pinfall at 12:33 when Shane Douglas interfered
When Shane Douglas found out that Jeff Jarrett was getting a shot at the highly regarded United States Championship, he wasted no time in cutting a deal with Jarrett in order to secure the gold was under his watch, helping Jarrett claim the gold. Jeff Jarrett was now in the possession of a championship that had made many legends of the business and a championship belt the WCW roster new and old were gunning for. Eric Bischoff decided to hold a battle royal to determine a number one contender to Jarrett's gold. Scoring a massive upset by eliminating Lex Luger, Rey Mysterio Jr. became the new number contender. Learning of this news Shane Douglas and Jeff Jarrett laughed then new challenger off, when Mysterio told them not to count him out and challenged them to a tag match tonight with Konnan. Scoring another upset Rey Mysterio Jr. pinned Jeff Jarrett with a small package, a shocked Jarrett and Douglas took out their frustrations on the filthy animals and beat them down, when Sting came to their aid.
The Road Warriors defeated Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell
via pinfall at 9:41 when The Road Warriors hit the Doomsday Device
After becoming number one contenders to the WCW Tag Team Championships, Lex Luger and Buff Bafwell went on to claim that they are the best tag team going in the world. This clearly didn't go down well with Road Warrior Animal who made his way to the ring and told them that they haven't even joined the tag team division until they have beaten a Road Warrior, and challenged Lex Luger to face him then and there but faced defeat when Bagwell interfered. The following week Road Warrior Animal called out the duo again and demanded a rematch, where Bagwell agreed. Just as Animal was about to beat Bagwell, Luger interfered causing Animal to win by DQ and the duo laid the boots into Animal. On the Nitro before Souled Out! Bischoff gave Luger and Bagwell the weekend off to repair and train as they couldn't receive their tag title shot until after Souled Out due to the World Championship situation. As the team packed their bags and headed for their limos, they were cut off by two mean on Harley Davidson bikes. They took their helmets off and showed themselves as The Road Warriors to the shock of Luger and Bagwell and laid them out in the parking lot, and told them they would meet them at Souled Out!
WCW Cruiserweight Championship Match
Chavo Guerrero Jr.(c) defeated Billy Kidman
via submission at 16:27 when Guerrero Jr. used the Gory Special on Kidman
Chavo Guerrero Jr. claimed himself to be the best cruiserweight champion of all time, a bold statement that former WCW Cruiserweight Champion Bill Kidman didn't agree too.

Raul Malo Introduces Fans to World of 'Sinners and Saints'
Raul Malo knows that not everyone will agree with some of the the sentiments on the songs he wrote for his just-released album 'Sinners and Saints' — but that's OK.
This album is the first that Raul, best known to country fans for his one-time group, the Mavericks — has ever made completely on his own — from writing the songs to recording, engineering and producing. And as the process unfolded, he says he became more and more committed to the idea of creating songs that were completely personal and truthful and that mixed the musical genres that have inspired him.
"I honestly had no idea what the outcome was going to be. It started out as a kind of experiment," Raul tells The Boot of making the majority of the album at his home studio in Nashville. "I had a little moment when I felt I had something to say that somebody might want to listen to. The songs slowly and surely took on different meanings."
Many of the songs tackle social issues including poverty and poor education that may sometimes even worsen due to battles between political parties.
"Instead of living for the right now, we should be looking toward tomorrow," says Raul, citing social problems such as the economic crisis in the U.S. "We are supposed to take care of the environment, to house ourselves in an efficient way but we deplete and destroy. It's just a matter of time before the consequences catch up with us. This is just my opinion … and everyone might not agree but I just couldn't keep quiet about these things anymore."
But whatever your beliefs, the music on this album is an absorbing mix of alt-country flavored with an array of sounds including Flamenco rhythms, Spanish horns and throbbing Latin percussion. If this album is akin to a book, as Raul says, it certainly has an ongoing storyline of the music that served as his creative foundation.
"I asked my mom, "What were some of the first sounds I ever heard as a baby?'" says Raul (who includes his baby photo on the CD cover). "She had to think about it for a little bit and said, 'the first sound you ever heard were traditional Spanish songs and some of the first music sounds you ever heard were some of the Flamenco sounds with the dancers and story telling and guitar players and castanets.'"
That sent Raul on a journey back to listen to some older Spanish recordings that are full of interplay between the guitarist and vocalist in what he calls "a beautiful ballet of just passion and emotion, all improvised and it comes together in one beautiful moment. The music is chilling."
Yet the Spanish music Raul heard also has very strong words that developed into strong stories creating. That combination of musical ballet and strong stories is just what he hoped to create with 'Sinners and Saints.'
"I've never been taken out of my comfort zone so much as I have on this record," he says. "It pushed me in more ways — technical, musical, personal – than I've ever been pushed before. But the result is a good piece of music that, hopefully, people will find interesting."
Raul Malo is currently on tour. His next concerts are September 28 and September 29 in Austin, Texas. For a complete list of dates and cities, check here.

Ryan Bell defeated Noel Desmond in the Republican primary election for the District 4 County Commission seat Tuesday, closely advancing to November's general election by a mere 36 votes.
It was Levy County's only local race on the ballot in the primary election, held on a day of poor weather and low turnout. Of the 21,415 registered voters in the county, 24.97 percent turned out to vote.
While Florida was marking a rise in unemployment to 12 percent in July, Levy County's jobless rate rose by three-tenths of a point to 13.4 percent in July from June's 13.1 percent.
It was much the same news in Marion County where unemployment in July was 14.1 percent and for Citrus County where it was 13.7 percent.
Chiefland Fire Rescue will continue to provide service to Otter Creek and Fowlers Bluff because both are without official fire departments, Chiefland city officials said Monday night. However, Chiefland officials are taking two different approaches to the service agreements with those cities.
The commission voted unanimously to both approve a contract for fire and emergency services with Otter Creek and to discuss with county officials how to provide service to Fowlers Bluff without dealing with its board.
Florida was awarded about $700 million for education from the federal government's Race to the Top program on Tuesday.
The School Board of Levy County is eligible to receive $1.1 million over four years from the program, despite not receiving all three required signatures during the application process. The funds are to be used for school improvement and education innovation.
You won't find Dog the Bounty Hunter in Florida but you will find Berlon Weeks and David Stone, Levy County's two bail bondsmen.
The two are in the business of assisting people get out of jail when they're checkbooks are depleted.
Becoming a licensed and insured bail bondsman is a five-step process, Weeks said.
TALLAHASSEE —A bill passed earlier this year meant to protect springs, in part by requiring septic tank inspections every five years, is too expensive in a tight economy and should be repealed, state Sen. Al Lawson said Tuesday.
Lawson, D-Tallahassee and a candidate for Congress, sent a letter to Senate President Jeff Atwater, R-North Palm Beach, asking that legislation to repeal the requirement be brought up if lawmakers return later this year to address economic issues.
Levy County Property Appraiser Oz Barker told the Chiefland Rotary Club there is one thing everyone should keep in mind about his work. "I don't do taxes, I do assessments," he said addressing the group on Aug. 11.
The Levy County Commission has a workable budget on the table, but they are not yet finished with it and the margin for error – handling emergencies — is only $500,000. Deputy Clerk Sheila Rees, who handles county finances, said the budget document drawn up by her, County Coordinator Freddie Moody and Clerk of Courts Danny Shipp uses $4.5 million in reserves to balance the county's accounts and has only $500,000 to cover emergency expenditures in the $53 million budget. "That's not a real safe place to be, having reserves of o
A Miami developer and business owner says he wants to build a 50-acre solar farm in Chiefland. Carl Nurse, managing director of Solargy Systems Inc., said Monday he's trying to pull funding together for the project, which, according to Nurse, could cost as much as $80 million.
Looking for ways to help both residents and the environment, the city of Williston is taking a ginormous leap into the 21st century by pursuing a solar energy system to power the city. Tuesday city leaders met with interested residents and elected officials to pitch their plan that will make Williston less dependent on fossil fuels. City Manager Marcus Collins and Adam Hall, the city's project manager and land development regulations administrator, gave a 30-minute overview of their vision for the city to about 30 people that included State Reps.

This is a great conditioner to use all over your hair, not just for growth. It does make the hair you have feel stronger/thicker...but it doesn't really make new hair grow. Smells great!

This is the equal to Ovation. I've tried Ovation and it didn't do anything for me :/ I had to return it.I've used this for a few years now. I wash my hair like normal and then use it on my roots and leave it on and rinse in the morning. I don't use it every day, maybe once or twice a week. You'll see results using this.

This stuff is amazing! My dog has lots of allergies and does the constant foot chewing/grooming thing. I've tried other remedies but seriously most required that the dog wear socks over their paws for awhile. Well that never worked for me as my dog would have the socks off before I ever got them on! So... this stuff works and it works without socks and I am thrilled! My dogs pads have never been so soft and she is chewing much less than she used to. It worked so well for her that I decided to try it as hand cream and it works very well for me too - It's a tad expensive but it takes so little that it's definitely worth it! Oh and yes, when my hair is a bit frizzy it will calm that down as well and if you have dry ends it will help nourish them. So it's been a great buy for me.

I bought this about 5 months ago for my own hair. I have some thinning around my temple, and I noticed a bit of my hair filling in. I used it all up, and never re-ordered. I just bought some more, and hopefully it will continue to help!

OK, this does work to grow hair, but I think it will work much better for better longer results if I had bought the large bottle. This one is just too small. When I opened it, there was a very nice smell to it, it just did not have a whole lot in it.(I know a 20z bottle isn't a lot, but I have other things that are in a 20z bottle and it is filled to the top, this was not filled to the top, not even to the middle) I decided to spread it out and use only twice a week since it wasn't much in there. Over the time that I did use it, my hair has been growing. I would have liked to use it much more to see longer growth, but I had to start somewhere. Next time I am buying the bigger bottle. I can't wait to get it so I can use it a lot more. This is a great buy if you want your hair to grow faster. Though it was not a lot in the bottle, this is still a really awesome product because it does work.

With the recent onslaught of nail decal stickers like Incoco and Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure Polish Strips, I was interested by the concept of the press on "polish". The nail covers are are supposed to be like gel nails, however I was hoping they would be more along the lines of a shellac polish than a Lee Press On nail set from 6th grade. Unfortunately, they are most definitely press on nails.
There are definitely pros and cons to this product. There are tons of different colors and designs, they're simple to apply, have several widths for all kinds of fingernails, the adhesive is strong and already comes applied to the back of the nail cover. However, and this is a big however, there is only one length. I'm used to semi-short nails, so having super long nails all of a sudden was hard to get used to, and ultimately why I removed them 24 hours later. Unlike the press on's of my childhood the adhesive is strong, won't come unstuck in the shower and comes off easily without leaving a gooey residue on my nails.
So the verdict? This is sooooo close to being a win. If the nails came in a shorter "sport" length or could easily be filed down I would have enjoyed them much more. I think they would be fun for Prom or a wedding and would be a good, cheap, noncommittal way to try out "fake nails" before you go to the salon and invest time and money into getting them professionally done. They're a nice product. I was pleasantly surprised by them, though I wouldn't purchase them again.
The look I have on my nails is called "Holla!"

Hello everyone,
This site has been so helpful in answering my questions. I thought that everyone coud help me with a few questions about AR-15's. I have grown up with pistols for most of my life and I have really been getting into IDPA competition. The same range that I shoot IDPA at has 3 gun competitions too. Some time in the next year I would like to get an AR. I have been searching the web, but it seems like all I find is the difference between the m-16 and ar-15.
1. Could someone please tell me the difference between the different uppers, (A2, A3, ect.)?
2. Are there any differences in the lowers that I should look for?
3. What is the difference between the flash supressors (bird, cage, izzy)?
4. Any pros and cons to the different manufacturers?
Which all my searching so far, I think that I like the ones with the rail on top with the removable carry handle.

Hundreds of Kids, Teen Celebs Support Anti-Bullying and Make iDanceMachine Premiere a Huge Success
The AMC-16 in Burbank looked more like a giant block party than a movie theater as hundreds of kids, teens, and tweens attend the Purple Carpet Premiere of iDanceMachine's 3-D music video "It's Nothing Personal".
Media and press packed the purple carpet to catch a glimpse of teen celebrities like Twilight: Breaking Dawn's Booboo Stewart and Kenton Duty, star of the Disney hit show "Shake it Up" who came to support iDanceMachine's world premiere on Saturday October 22nd.
As part of the celebration, Andamiro Games brought out a "Pump It Up" Dance Machine which doubled as a photo spot for celebrities and continuous dance exhibitions by amazing IDM dancers. Filmed for broadcast on the iDMTV (iDanceMachineTV)
Aimed not only to premiere IDM's music video, but also to raise awareness and encourage kids to stand up against bullying, the iDanceMachine world premiere was partnered with My Life My Power, a non-profit organization founded by undefeated mixed martial artist, Daniel Puder.
Many celebrities came to show their support for the cause including: Booboo Stewart (Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 & 2) with sisters Fivel and Sage Stewart, Kenton Duty (Shake it Up), Choreographer Christina "Pasty" Grady (Shake it Up), Renee Olstead (Secret Life of an American Teenager), Jared Kusnitz (PROM, Secret Life of an American Teenager), Allisyn Arm (Sonny with a Chance), Cayden Boyd (Fireflies in the Garden), Raven Goodwin (GLEE), Abigail Hargrove (Brad Pitt's new film World War Z), Warner Music International Pop Artist KEANA, Dancer Marissa Heart, SAVVY (Ca$h Money Recording Artists), Frequency-5, and many others.
Those lucky enough to get in the (sold out) student screening were ushered in the theater where they were greeted by a live DJ who kept the crowd pumped up prior to the show. Each student received a goody bag with REAL 3-D glasses, a pack of HI-CHEW candy by Morinaga America, and a Justin Bieber toothbrush courtesy of Brush Buddies.
Celebrities and VIP's were then ushered to the exclusive after party, held at The Media Dance Centre (steps from the theater). Guests enjoyed hor d'oeuvres and a chocolate fountain by Will's Bountiful Harvest, snacks by PopChips, and beverages by Hint Water, Noah's Sparkling Water, and Dark Dog Energy Drinks. Nothing Bundt Cakes prepared a dessert table filled with their signature bundtlets (mini bundt cakes); and Creative Edible Delights provided mini chinese giftboxes filled with organic Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies and Almond Biscotti.
After-party celebrity guests also received a VIP giftbag filled with goodies including:
DREAM DUFFEL Dancer's Bag by Dancers Dream LLC
LIV DOLL Sophie Styling Head by SpinMaster Toys
"THE HUNGER GAMES" Hardcover Book from Scholastic Books
Brush Buddies JUSTIN BIEBER Adult Toothbrush

The Future Of Java
Posted by John R. Rymer on January 23, 2011
- 1826 Recommendations
- 164 comments
Java's future will be constrained by the bounds of Oracle's business model.
Drama has been running high since Oracle began to shape up the Java technology it acquired along with Sun Microsystems. Oracle ended the impasse over a new core Java release, set out a road map for the next two years, and began reorganizing Java's ineffectual governance. Oracle's Java road map and commitment to invest reassured enterprise customers and prevented a split with IBM but alienated many in the open source community. But Oracle's plans so far fail to address Java platforms' inherent complexity, which remains Java's Achilles' heel in head-to-head competition with Microsoft's.NET platform. Moreover, a controlled, top-down innovation model will limit Java's role as the basis for the "cloud" generation of platforms, rich Internet applications, and new development techniques ranging from languages such as Ruby to approaches such as business process management (BPM) and business rules. Conclusion: Java's future in the enterprise is alive and well but limited.
Oracle's strategy for Java will change the Java ecosystem that has existed for 11 years.
- Oracle will direct Java innovation. Oracle has made it clear that from this point forward, it will direct all innovation in core Java (Java SE). Oracle will happily accept the contributions of others through OpenJDK as long as those contributions align with Oracle's priorities.
- OpenJDK is not fully open. OpenJDK is covered by a General Public License (GPL), and though it's certainly true that there are alternative JVM implementations and derivatives out there, OpenJDK is not open in spirit: It's practically impossible to distribute an alternative implementation without Oracle's sanction — specifically without a grant of the Java TCK. Losing The Apache Software Foundation as a supporter also hurts Oracle's credibility as a partner with the Java alpha geeks who drive so much independent and discontinuous Java innovation. Those developers will take their energy elsewhere, probably to Apache projects.
- The JCP is dying. The Java Community Process remains in place, but we believe that Oracle will formulate an alternative that ends the fiction of JCP as an open process and streamlines the process of Java platform evolution. The result will be total domination of Java's evolution by Oracle and IBM.
- Competition will shift to frameworks. With Oracle directing innovation at Java's core, others in the Java ecosystem will focus on higher-level frameworks. This shift began years ago, but we now expect it to intensify. We expect most of the work on frameworks to focus on the enterprise, as that is clearly Oracle and its core partners' focus with Java.
- Fewer young developers will learn Java first. One of Java's greatest strengths has been the number of young developers who learn it as a first language. As Java becomes less and less of a client-side language, we expect to see educational institutions switch to other languages for primary education, ones with stronger client-side representation such as JavaScript and HTML 5. Over time, developers will begin to view Java as a server-side language for enterprises — like COBOL.
These ecosystem changes will have minimal immediate impact on customers. Java SE 7 and 8 will move forward, driven by the strong consensus among Oracle's partners about the content of those releases. Customers will see predictable and stable enhancements of enterprise Java middleware. But Oracle and its close Java partners are in a classic "innovator's dilemma." It may take a decade, but the bottom-up innovation the open source community drives will find expression elsewhere, and smaller companies that Java's high-end capabilities do not serve well will gravitate toward a new "good enough" open platform — likely based on a combination of LAMP and HTML 5 open standards.

Yet another doom and gloom prediction...
Comment from Fernando Cassia (not verified) on Mon, 01/24/2011 - 12:36
Java has become a success story for 10 years way before it became open source three years+ ago.
It didn´t became successful just for being "open" (which it is now) but because it delivers on the promise of cross-platform compatibility.
It´s funny that you say that Java as a client tech will lose momentum when hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people use desktop Java software on a daily basis, like Vuze and jDownloader.
Every one of your "points" is nothing more than repetition of what many "pundits" have been saying for the last year, and every of their doom and gloom predictions has turned being wrong: Oracle didn´t kill OpenOffice.org, Oracle didn´t kill MySQL, Oracle is investing in all these along with Glassfish, Virtualbox and almost every other open source project from Sun, with the obvious exception of Opensolaris.
Oh, one last thing: Who uses Apache´s Java? no one. H*ck, after Java SE 6.0, even IBM´s JDK became irrelevant.
Java is thriving and is not "complex" Java EE is complex, it needs to be tu run mission-critical systems. Java SE can be as easy as you want. People can run common scripting languages on top of Java like Jython (Python on Java), JRuby (Ruby on Java), NetRexx and others.
Java is much more than a programming language: it´s a runtime environment and you can use Java without actually writing Java.
We agree on many things
Comment from John R. Rymer on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 12:26
Thanks, Fernando, for your comments. I hope you had a chance to read the full report rather than just the blog. I don't think it is fair to say we are preaching either doom and gloom or the death of Java, as you suggested in your Tweet. We agree on many things, but we disagree on two points. First, on the question of Java on the client. We see a trend away from Java. Second, on the complexity of the average Java platform stack. We hear about this issue from clients all the time. I'd love to know what you and your shop are doing to keep complexity down.
To clear some misconceptions
Comment from Drago Kamenov (not verified) on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 23:38
1. Although Java was conceived as a "client-side language", that has never been its core strength. Few people use applets; Java FX never took off; the fact is Java has always been used mostly on the server-side for enterprise apps. Think Servlets, JSPs, EJBs on WebSphere, WebLogic, JBoss, Tomcat but also on Spring, usually paired up with Oracle or similar RDBMS.
2. It is not the language, it's the platform that matters. Java EE app servers provide transactions, object distribution, security, scalability, maintainability...
3. Sun were never really serious about the JCP. Java (including EE) is mostly developed by Sun. That said, the open-source community contributed substantially by providing software and frameworks such as Tomcat, JBoss, Spring, Struts, Eclipse, etc. which made development much easier, which in turn resulted in much wider adoption. But innovation in the core language and platform standards have always been driven by Sun/Oracle, just as the .NET has been driven by Microsoft
4. As far as competition from LAMP. LAMP=Linux, Apache, mysql, PHP|perl|Python. How can an OS like Linux, a web server like Apache and a RDBMS like mysql compete with a programming language/enterprise app platform such as Java? PHP, perl - nice and very powerfull but not even close to providing enterprise features.
5.The only serious contender is .NET and Python could be one in the near future. .NET is easier to learn and use but is less robust and confines you to Windows. Yes, Fortune 500 companies use both .NET and Java, but typically for different purposes - .NET mostly for departmental solutions, Java mostly for mission-critical applications; although there are exceptions.
If you have reached this far - thanks for your patience,

Computer Science at school sucks
Comment from Bruno Borges (not verified) on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 12:15
Educational institutions should NOT use any programming language in particular.
They should teach computer science regardless of programming language. They should teach logic, self-learning skills. They should motivate students to learn different languages, to mix them.
Reason #1 I quit computer science: they tried to teach me PASCAL (nothing against, but it did not motivate me at all).
I disagree. My country boasts
Comment from Christian Sciberras (not verified) on Fri, 01/28/2011 - 02:25
I disagree. My country boasts a great university, but in truth, it sucks. University graduates are useless to the industry, they need re-training.
Teaching the basics of programming is the university's duty. What's the point of having graduates that are told they'll have a 10k/mo after they finish their course when in fact the industry can't do shit with them?

Do you think this presents an opportunity for Microsoft to convert disgruntled Java folk to .Net?
Of course
Comment from John R. Rymer on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 12:30
The Java vs. .NET competition is alive and well. Most large organizations have both environments. Our latest survey indicates that many more are choosing .NET than in past years -- for a variety of reasons including complexity, product cost, ISV requirements, time to market.
And why do companies choose .NET ?
Comment from Dmitri Tchikine (not verified) on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 00:19
Think of a company of few thousand employees and 50 ITC staff.
What is their OS? Windows.
What is their business software? MS Office, of cause (just look how ugly any OO document looks in comparison)
And then, you need Web portals - Share Point of cause: it is design to work with Office. And with SQL Server. Which works with ASP.NET, and with MS BI and reporting tools. Which export data as Excel spreadsheets. Which are part of the Office...
In brief, MS stack gives a company the complete package.
How, where do we fit any Java into this? To put on some back-end server, and spend few millions a years to maintain integration with front-end systems?
Maybe for client side, but irrelevant for server
Comment from Anthony Bull (not verified) on Mon, 07/11/2011 - 21:24
What you say may be true for the client side, (as long as you are in desktop development) - but it is completely irrelevant for server side. Database, web service, naming directory interfaces are all simple to talk to from either Java or .NET. This is why the majority of banks run on Java backends.
Portals are moot, because they should be operating on industry standard interfaces anyway - SOAP, WS-Security etc
Once you get to the server side, Java/Apache/Linux is not going to be replaced with .NET, especially if you want to run on decent hardware.
The MS Stack is file-based.
Comment from Ernie Basil (not verified) on Sat, 08/06/2011 - 17:25
The MS Stack is file-based. Sharepoint? Show me a good Sharepoint installation. Word? It still has trouble doing simple labels with custom dimensions. Whenever I have a formatting headache in Word, I load Portable OO from Flash Stick to fix it and print and save time.
A Different View of Java vs. .NET
Comment from Robert Sloyer (not verified) on Fri, 01/28/2011 - 15:17
I've been in the industry since God made dirt and it seems that the Java vs. .NET "controversy" really represents two industry groups that compete with each other.
It used to be IBM vs. the "BUNCH" companise, then IBM vs. Microsoft, now it is IBM + Oracle + .etc vs. Microsoft.
It is all about money, market share, ans sales not computer science.

...the funniest part is the prediction of seeing JavaScript/HTML5 in CS-101
Where did you see that?
Comment from Jeffrey Hammond on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 16:11
I think you are making a leap that is unwarranted. We did not say specifically say CS curricula would change.
For most kids now, exposure to programming languages starts WAY before college and increasingly outside of classic CS curricula. In many cases it starts in extracurricular activities like USFIRST.org (which uses Java, C, or LabView) or with dedicated enrichment prgrams. Even on our high school's FIRST team, they are also running Websites, forums, and CMS systems (none of those using Java). By the time CS-101 rolls around many kids today already know about git, Drupal, and yes, even Objective-C, HTML and Javascript.

I was talking about DESKTOP java, not Mobile, Java. Jave SE and Java ME are different things. IBM in turn grossly mismanaged its IBM J9, dropping support for Palm devices, and tell me which versions of J9 can an end-user download right now.
IBM´s Java VM on the desktop is insignificant, most people that needs java downloads and uses the official one from Java.com
IBM´s JRE lost the mindshare battle long ago.

I think John has some valid points. It's a shame you need to buy his research paper though :(
It's amazing how many people on this message board are getting emotional, almost as if Java is their child. Relax guys, so what if Java is losing popularity? Have you seen how advanced C# has become lately? It really does crap all over Java. C# has 120 keywords as counting and offers much more flexibility than stale old Java. Heck, the Java SDK still doesn't even support multicore programming, or a LINQ type language feature.
I think Java is on it's way out. In a few years it will be like one of those legacy programming languages like COBOL. As Java programmers transition from their 30's and 40's and that stubborn attitude sets in, they'll be exactly like those 60 year old COBOL programmers you see today who still like to tell me "COBOL is so much better than anything out there today because 'it just works'".
Comment from John R. Rymer on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 12:36
We expected the insults to fly after publishing our report. Java is indeed a techno-religion. We tried in the report to be dispassionate. My big concern is that people will react to the blog rather than the full report. Such is life on the Internet alas. Jeffrey and I are happy to listen to all views, no matter how extreme, and try to learn from them.
Comment from Peter Ashford (not verified) on Thu, 02/24/2011 - 06:11
I find your comment about Java being a religion insulting. I am a software engineer with three decades development experience. I like and use a lot of languages. My opinion is that java hating is much more of a religion that liking Java. Java is anything but cool. Liking Java is just about liking getting work done.
120 keywords and counting...
Comment from Kevin Wright (not verified) on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 11:56
Why should this be a good thing? It's no unlike the flawed "logic" that equates lines of code with productivity.
To Quote Antoine de Saint-Exuper:
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Or perhaps the definition of "Elegance" in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegance
If you must compare Java to something, try Scala or Clojure, both of which pride themselves on doing more and being more flexible with *fewer* keywords baked into the language. Now *that's* progress...
Comment from Peter Ashford (not verified) on Thu, 02/24/2011 - 06:06
I hardly think that having more keywords makes C# better than Java. C# has done some interesting things recently, but I prefer the Java ecosystem over .NET. I work at a non-profit and Java resonates better with the Open Source, collaborative world. I like choice and I like openness. Neither is a feature of .NET. In fact, the company I work for is dumping it's Microsoft tech and moving towards an all Java stack. Quite the opposite of the blogger's opinion.

@Fernando Cassia, you were spot on, since 2003 ( when i was introduced to Java ), i ve been hearing these sort of comments like Java is dead, php surpass java, .NET gaining , Scala the new java so and so.. Its quite natural to lose share when a new one arrives, but its applicable to all these languages, now with a hell lot of new languages, no one is going to gain a consistent share.. its applicable to Java, .net, scala or what ever..Luckily java has already gained a big share.. will lose some for sure, but we can never say, it will be displaced, it holds true for all emerging languages!
Comment from John R. Rymer on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 12:39
All languages run their cycles -- some have very long cycles. One of my questions is whether or not the cycles are getting shorter. Ruby on Rails grew so much faster than most earlier languages, and I wonder if its down cycle will also come more quickly than other languages.
Comment from Peter Ashford (not verified) on Thu, 02/24/2011 - 06:14
Ruby garnered a lot of hype very quickly but the Tiobe language index and projects on Source forge show it barely rates. The trouble is, it's a one trick pony. If rails is what you need, then ruby on rails is just the ticket. But programming is about more than just quickly building a web page.

You´re confusing programming languages with RUNTIME ENVIRONMENTS.
For the 9th time: Java is BOTH a programming language and a SOFTWARE PLATFORM. You don´t need to code in Java to run Java. You can code in Jython and run Java. You can code in NetRexx and run Java.
C# might be wonderful but is only a PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. It´s software platform is Microsoft´s .Net, which outside of Windows, doesn´t really exist, unless you take into account Novell´s "Mono" which is not controlled by Novell, but always playing catch-up with Microsoft´s specification.
If my program is Java (Java bytecode) I can run it effortlessly on Mac-Windows-Linux. Good luck trying the same with all the differences between Mono and .Net
Except I have took 3 of my
Comment from mtcoder thompson (not verified) on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 10:03
Except I have took 3 of my winforms, and 2 .net web applications, and with just modest UI changes, ran them on Iphone, Android, and WP7. The core logic and back end code all stay the same, just had to rewrite my presentation model, and since I use n-tier structure for years, it was really simple and easy to do. So yeah say what you want but Mono is picking up speed, and power, with .net having tons of capabilities and driving nearly all of MS development, the push by MS to have Mono take off, and the fact this week alone Mono did what it claims to do does put a hurt on Java. And as you said / stated Java is a client service. It's nothing more than a browser plug-in that happens to just load on the OS instead of a browser. The only upside with Java is it went open source a few years ago and got support from numerous developers to bring it to all the platforms. The reason people are worried about Java is easily seen in the Oracle vs Google fight, where Oracle says Google violated terms. I don't know the full details but lets put it this way either Google is just a whipping boy for Oracle or Oracle is not going to let any "re-write" of java exists that they don't fully control. Both are why people are worried about Oracles ownership of it. The last nail in java's coffin is the fact its client based, meaning it's not supportive of life on the web. It's missing key pieces it needs to really handle web development, and with so many other technologies providing more for less effort, there is less and less desire to program in java. It was one thing when you wanted a piece of software to run on mac, linux, windows, to have it written in java. However nowadays and even more so in the future, everything runs in the browser and any real code is ran on servers, and is usually custom written for a particular server structure for max performance. For example our new call switch, has 2 linux servers, and 3 MS servers. Each have a specialized task they manage and each are built to provide max efficiency. The end user's machine doesn't matter one bit cause all interaction is through the web page based pages. Doesn't matter if its Mac, Linux, MS if it can run a browser the user is good to go. Add on that any variation to the code base from Oracles standards lands you in court or under scruity from Oracle. All just means a dead product. If java was truely free rein do what you want style open source, I could see it surviving. Oracle however won't let that happen.

It's not useful for the fact that it's so inconsistent (especially the left overs), that it's dead before even having seen the light.
Developers want functionality, not half-a-million kinds of elements which do the exact same damn thing (except for the fact that they have a different name).
For example, font, span, p, and div could have been made into one element (granted, I'd make it two for the sake of block vs inline).
Then, there's the mandatory attributes which no one has actually used since the days when netscape was the major player. Oh, and how about the change of tables on strong/b and em/i?
Finally, there's the best two features; video and canvas tags, where the earlier will be just as bad as embedding movie players / flash and the later feature simply opens the browsers to a yet new era of bugs, incompatibilities and what not - all the while developers are struggling to bridge different incompatible browsers/platform together.
I remember the first time I did a web page, several years ago. I was happy about the design till I realized it worked on a specific screen resolution as well as browser - think something changed? Of course - even less compatibility, with the advent of mobile platforms.
As a (half-seasoned) web developer, my primary thought to this all? Bullshit.

Students are better off with interpretive language, Ruby, Python even PHP. Anything which isn't heavyweight.
Java, C, C++, C#, Delphi are all heavyweight languages.
I've seen impressive high-performance applications in both Java and C#, so it ain't their "fault", it's a feature.

Leftist hypocrisy in chemical purity.
At the Gray Lady, Some People…
May 27, 2014 by 1 Comment
Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
Leftist hypocrisy in chemical purity.
"…Sulzberger today declared that there was no church-state—that is, business-editorial—conflict at the Times."
Odd to see the fourth estate described as a composite of the first two. But the business side is the church, and the editorial side is the state? I can believe that.
