Fish assemblage structure of Maryland's coastal lagoon complex was analyzed for spatial and seasonal patterns for the period 1991-2000. Data was made available by Maryland Department of Natural Resources from their MD Coastal Bays Finfish Survey. Dominant species from separate trawl and wiw surveys included blue crab Callinectes sapidus (erroneously included here as a "fish" due to its dominance and commercial importance), bay anchovy Anchoa mitchilli, spot Leiostomous xanthurus, silver perch Bairdiella ehrysoura, and Atlantic menhaden Brevwrtia tyrannus. Ninety-four fish species were identified in the two surveys, a diversity substantially higher than other survey records for Middle Atlantic Bight estuarine and lagoon systems (richness=26 to 78 species). Total species richness for the trawl survey was highest in Chincoteague and lowest in Assawoman and Sinepuxent. On the other hand, mean richness per tow (-area) and related Shannon Weiner Diversity Index were significantly higher in the northern two bays (Assawoman and Isle of Wight Bays) than in the two southern bays (Chincoteague or Sinepuxent Bays). For the seine survey, effort-adjusted diversity indices were significantly lower for Chincoteague Bay than for the other three bays. Higher relative abundances were observed in the northern bays than in the southern bays. The trawl survey exhibited the lowest catch-per-site in Sinepuxent Bay and the highest in Assawoman Bay. The seine survey had the lowest catch-per-site in Chincoteague Bay while the other three embayments were of similar magnitude. There was clear seasonality in assemblage structure with peak abundance and diversity in the summer compared to other seasons. Blue crabs in particular showed a c. 2-fold decline in relative abundance from early summer to fall, which is likely attributable to harvest removals (i.e., an exploitation rate of c. 50%). Seagrass coverage, although increasing over the course of the 10 year survey, did not have obvious effects on species diversity and abundance across or within the embayments, although it did have positive associations with two important species: bay anchovy and summer flounder Pavalich thys dentatus. Atlantic menhaden were most dominant in Assawoman Bay, which could be related to higher primary production typically observed in this Bay in comparison to the other three. (PDF contains 99 pages)

Review of Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener
Reader Review of the Day: Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener
I get darkness under my eyes, so I'm a fan of brighteners, which liven up the under-eye area in a flash. Instant refreshment. Reader Laratf highly recommends Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener, and here's why:
It's by far the best brightener/concealer I've used. It's not just sheer shimmer that makes you look like a freak in photos (anyone else face that problem?), it provides good coverage, stays in place, and brightens without making you look sick. I'm really pleased with it.
Now, it's your turn to review. Our Product Reviews page has over 50,000 items just waiting for your opinion. Better yet? Perhaps you'll be featured on this daily post.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (May 19, 2014) – Flygt has started crisscrossing the country with 24- and 12-foot long mobile display units (MDUs) equipped with informative exhibits of the manufacturer's solutions for water and wastewater systems. The larger mobile showroom features equipment marketed by Flygt and Godwin, a companion line of pumps also owned by Xylem, Inc. Itineraries will include appearances, staffed by Flygt experts, at trade shows, customer locations, distributor-sponsored venues and consultant seminars.
Emblazoned with distinctive Flygt graphics, the colorful 24-foot MDU has drop-down doors that convert into decks that can be subdivided into mini-venues for simultaneous product demonstrations, interactive videos, and user education/training stations. The mobile showrooms have CAT 6 cabling, HDMI high definition multimedia interfaces and onboard generators for standalone power at remote venues without adequate electrical service.
The informative exhibits include: a working display of the Experior system, among the newest offerings that includes the Flygt Adaptive N pump, premium efficient motor and SmartRun controls in a pre-engineered TOP basin. An interactive demonstration unit of the Flygt MultiSmart Intelligent Pump Station Manager should be another popular stop at the tour, along with the Flygt Slimline Propeller Pump and a 4630 Mixer Unit. A Flygt A-C series NS-Custom Pump display provides information about the expansive line of Flygt custom pumping solutions. One of the most popular features has been the opportunity to request a free condition audit of a lift station or other Flygt-equipped installation to introduce the TotalCare Program recently announced by the company.
Also prominently featured on the front stage is a Godwin Dri-Prime Backup System Pump (DBS). These units can be powered by many different fuel types including natural gas and propane. DBS Pumps are designed to be permanently mounted as complete back-up pumping systems to assume continued operation of water and wastewater facilities during power failures or to support bypass flows during repairs or routine maintenance of the station's existing pumps and controls. The DBS Pumps are more efficient than standby generators by only running when called to pump. This conserves fuel in conditions when refueling may be challenging. The 12-foot long trailer is dedicated to Flygt pump solutions for pressure sewer applications. This mobile showcase should interest engineers, developers, builders and contractors engaged in residential, multifamily or high-occupancy institutional facilities where pressure sewerage systems are a more efficient and cost-effective solution than excavating deep-trench connectors to collection systems.
The 12-ft. MDU features a working Compit Pump Station and cutaway display of a Flygt Progressive Cavity (PC) pump. Also included in the walk-through showcase are the FGC211 control and both pressure bell and 3-point probe level controls. Secondary components include the different size Flygt fiberglass basins with guide-rail assemblies for PC and centrifugal pumps along with a counter display of wet-end components on pumps. An exhibit of Flygt solutions for pressure sewerage systems also offers a side-by-side comparison with competitive offerings in the industry.
Flygt, a Xylem brand, designs and manufactures dry and submersible pumps, mixers and related intelligent controls systems.

Here's video from the postgame press conference after the Flyers' big win over the Bruins.
Here's video from the postgame press conference after the Flyers' big win over the Bruins.
The Vancouver Canucks still have some work to do this summer, but at least none of their players will take part in salary arbitration hearings.
After coming to an agreement with Michael Chaput, the Canucks reached a one-year, $687,500 deal with forward Reid Boucher on Monday.
Boucher, 23, has 112 regular-season games under his belt. He spent most of his career (82 of 112 games) with the New Jersey Devils before bouncing to the Nashville Predators (3 games) and then the Canucks (27 games) last season. He averaged a little more than 12 minutes per night with the Canucks, much like with the Devils in 2016-17.
While the arbitration hearings are covered, the Canucks face two lingering RFA situations: Brendan Gaunce, and most importantly, Bo Horvat.
The Arizona Coyotes handed a one-year, two-way contract to goalie Marek Langhamer on Monday.
Langhamer would be paid $660K at the NHL level and $67,500 in the AHL, according to AZ Sports' Craig Morgan.
Langhamer turned 23 on Saturday. He got about the smallest cup of coffee you could ask for with the Coyotes last season: he appeared in one game for 16 minutes, allowing a goal on eight shots.
It was quite the year for the Czech-born goalie, who played seven games in the ECHL and 25 in the AHL along with that brief NHL appearance. He also played in the AHL and ECHL during the 2015-16 season, so he's been bouncing around.
As a seventh-rounder (184th overall in 2012), Langhamer likely doesn't take opportunities for granted.
The netminding situation is interestingly fluid in Arizona. Both Antti Raanta and Louis Domingue stand ahead of Langhamer – at minimum – but those two only have one year remaining on their current deals. If nothing else, there's likely a "prove it" vibe at multiple levels now that Mike Smith is in Calgary.
With Langhamer settled, the Coyotes only have one RFA left to sign, but it's a tricky one with forward Anthony Duclair. When it came to Duclair, GM John Chayka kept it pretty vague with the Arizona Republic's Sarah McLellan.
"We're still trying to determine the best value for the player and the team moving forward," Chayka said.
If you need to kill some time, play this game: which Nashville Predators contract is the biggest steal?
If Viktor Arvidsson is as much of a difference-maker as his limited NHL reps indicate, his $4.25 million cap hit over seven years is certainly in the running. Still, there are plenty of choices.
Ryan Ellis' $2.5 million cap hit doesn't run out until after 2018-19. Mattias Ekholm's less of a "well-kept secret" following Nashville's run to the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, yet his $3.75M steal runs through 2021-22. Roman Josi can be a bit polarizing but at $4M for three more seasons, it's not controversial to say that he's probably at least worth the money.
Arvidsson has the makings of a legit first-line winger, and that deal is highly likely to be regrettable … for his agent and accountant.
Filip Forsberg's $6M isn't as audacious as some of those defensive steals, but it's still pretty nice. That total also makes it easier for the Predators to try to control costs for their one remaining big consideration: Ryan Johansen, who still needs a deal as an RFA.
This tweet really sells the point, in case this post hasn't: GM David Poile hasn't been slowing down much since being named GM of the Year. And he might just be the best executive in the NHL right now.
Overall, it's an enviable situation, as Nashville's clean cap ranks with Pittsburgh and few others as the best-looking in the NHL. That's especially true when you consider the fact that the Lightning are allocating $8.8 million to the shaky duo of former Rangers in Ryan Callahan and Dan Girardi.
Still, the Predators aren't done for the summer, as Johansen stands as a tricky situation. They don't have the helpful deadline of arbitration looming, so the two sides are just going to have to figure something out … eventually.
Even so, Cap Friendly pegs them at $13.43 million in cap space, so they have room to work with their first-line center.
While teams like the Penguins and Blackhawks stocked up on high draft picks, the Predators' greatest moves have largely come through shrewd drafting, savvy trades, and forward-thinking contract extensions. One can debate which setup is the best, but Poile's work places Nashville in the upper crust, and their built to stay there for years to come.
Related: Matt Murray, Jake Guentzel could help Penguins compete for years.
In a lengthy and heartfelt letter, Kyle Okposo thanked the hockey community – especially but not only Buffalo Sabres fans and teammates – for their support after his hospitalization.
Okposo also shared some personal details about how a seemingly innocent hit affected his sleep and caused alarming weight loss, dropping him below 200 lbs. for the first time since he was 17. He said he checked into a hospital expecting to get help sleeping, only to go to ICU after a negative reaction to medication.
As scary as that experience was, it helped him put his career and life in perspective. Okposo also realized just how much fans, teammates, and people associated with the sport can help each other in times of need.
It's a really great letter and worth reading in full (especially considering his praise for new Sabres management), but here's one of the more inspiring excerpts:
When I turned my phone on, I had 500 messages waiting for me. Current players, former players, former coaches – everyone reached out. Even now, fans see me in Minnesota or Buffalo and say, 'I'm just really glad you're doing OK.' It's overwhelming, and it makes me proud to be a part of the hockey community. We're a tight-knit group and we stick together. Thinking about your support brings a tear to my eye.
The messages from my Sabres teammates meant a lot in particular. I've only played with those guys for one year, with Matt Moulson being the exception, and we didn't have the type of season that we wanted. The fact that all of them were so supportive through this shows that the bond between teammates really does transcend what happens on the ice.
Okposo noted that he appreciated playing in "Da Beauty League" last week, even though his team got "whacked."
Read more about him being involved in that here, and how happy Zach Parise and others were to see him play in this article. Okposo also reaffirms the belief that he'll be ready to go for Sabres training camp in that letter.

Rudolf Horacek spent most of his time sitting quietly and smiling – at his vis-à-vis or at an idea in his head. He guided his pencil in the same stoic manner.
Virtually every time a face emerged, a mask, almost always leaning towards the
onlooker. Horacek constructed his faces with several lines and filled them in -
the round eyes, the invariably oval face. He inscribed them with his name, some
numbers and the note "in Mannswörth". Depending on how patient he was feeling, the sheet would be more or less filled, the beginnings of the drawing either still recognizable or completely obliterated with hatchings: pictures that seem to analyse the onlooker – not vice versa.

I've started to implement the proposal of separating the node form to a Content and Meta part as well as putting the node edit buttons on the right top area of the screen in this patch. It is somewhat related but can be totally independently reviewed, applied and discussed to #472066: D7UX: "Save draft" and "Publish" buttons on node forms.
The attached patch creates a new #node-form-components-menu in #node-form. The original node form is capped in 80% width and 20% of the screen takes up this new right area. That area gets all the node buttons, which are as of now displayed below each other. Also, two new links are added: "Content" and "Meta". These are supposed to hide/show only related parts of the form. The meta elements are hidden by default, while the content elements are shown. This is easily done. However, once you switch to one or the other mode, we'd need to show/hide meta and non-meta elements.
To make adapting to this API easier, I've opted to only require a 'form-meta-element' class on meta element containers, so we can hide them. However, when showing elements, we need to know whether they were hidden because they are meta, or they were hidden anyway (eg. because they were conditional parts of a form). Solving that probably needs more thinking. I've tried just naively showing all elements and hiding the meta elements when the content item is clicked, but that showed up items like hidden (non-used) text format help, so what we need to do is not so simple.
Anyway, the patch clearly has this todo to implement those two buttons. Developers have full freedom to identify meta and non-meta elements. The mockup also shows buttons showed on the same line, but that quickly breaks down with more buttons required to be shown. I've opted for a fixed length button look for now. Let's discuss that too.
On the wireframe (image crosslinked from #472066: D7UX: "Save draft" and "Publish" buttons on node forms):

Also, on the todo is to make the links show active and inactive status depending on which type of elements we are seeing now.

Comment #5Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
Erm. This meta/non meta approach directly collides with vertical tabs, which is another way to classify some form items.
Why not having a meta / non-meta vertical tab, or something similar? It seems very weird to have two unrelated classification widgets.
Comment #7Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
Well, the vertical tabs have been designed as a way to put widgets into containers that reduce the space taken on the screen while not completely hiding the content from sight (thanks to the small summary line in the tab itself).
The proposed horizontal tabs have very little added value over the vertical tabs. Moreover, having both the horizontal tabs and the vertical tabs as ways of classifying widgets on the node form makes very little sense.
If we want to move away from vertical tabs (and I assume this is the idea), let's do it. But I think we should avoid two pitfalls: (1) implementing a custom UI for the node form that would be inconsistent to the rest of the administration area, (2) add another, inconsistent, layer of widget classification on top of the current vertical tabs.
Comment #8Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
The meta tab will be the home for a lot more. Personally, I think it is a Good Thing that we can move some stuff out of the way -- with our without the vertical tabs because I think it might go well beyond the information that is currently captured by vertical tabs.
For example, just look at an event node on groups.drupal.org and you'll see that there is a lot of stuff that might fit under meta for quick editing/access. The current events UI looks pretty horrible at the moment, and I think meta provides an opportunity to clean some of that up.
Ditto for project nodes -- I assume that some of that might also belong under meta which would clean up some of the UI:
Comment #9Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
Even though I don't quite know how the meta stuff will work out -- it might need more design work -- I think the potential is huge. Tracking it. :)
Comment #10Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
I'm not sure sticking everything under meta would be wise... but indeed groups.drupal.org event node is a great example to work with. If we can manage to design a good UI for this particular node form, everything is possible.
Comment #11Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commented
Following this issue for a more thorough review tomorrow, not sure how much of the design we can really think out - without looking at MDB wireframes - because doing this in Garland is going to be hard.
Comment #13Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commented
@Gabor I don't think you are completely following what I mean. I am saying that unless we actually design this page better in Garland it will not be able to visually fit this interaction pattren.
Regarding the meta page, people should just guess what is there? So can we get a design up of the meta page, instead of just talking about it? I don't see how we can just throw all this stuff on a meta page and make it more usable? We will definitely make just adding content easier, but how it will doing the meta stuff any easier - I don't really see. This might be more of a discussion for MDB as well.
We are totally missing rationale for such a huge change, other then look at all the possibilities. This issue is to big to discuss both, placements of buttons and a new meta section. Please split the discussion of placement of buttons back to http://drupal.org/node/472066.
Comment #14yoroy CreditAttribution: yoroy commented
I'm also missing rationale and agreed that Garland is not the right environment to present this in.
- Why a Meta tab?
- What is the proposed design of this meta page?
Comment #15catch CreditAttribution: catch commented
The meta page wireframe is in http://d7ux.org/docs/Wireframes_1_1.pdf - in the wireframe it's 'everything that's not title and body'.
One thing which having a meta tab might make easier is when you want to be able to quickly publish/unpublish/delete something without having to look at title/body first (even with vertical tabs those options are quite far down the page). That's only going to be the case if there's direct access to the meta tab from the content view page though - which isn't what's suggested from the wireframes.
Comment #16leisareichelt CreditAttribution: leisareichelt commented
hi all,
Mark is working on the visual design of this page as we speak and it should be available sometime tomorrow for you to take a look at.
a couple of things:
- 'meta' is a working title and should probably change (it's not very human friendly) - suggestions welcome
- rationale 1 for the meta tab - we want to keep the content entry form as simple as possible and try as often as possible not to show 'stuff' when 8 times out of 10 people don't need to see it (that is they're not going to make changes away from the default setting).
- rationale 2 for the meta tab - we want to lay out the 'meta' (aka other stuff associated with/that you can do to a node that is being published) in a way that is much more scannable and presents the most likely changes at first glance and hides the complexity that most people never need to get access to well away. To do this we need a different presentation style and more space than we have with vertical tabs.
- when you toggle 'Edit' on a meta strip will appear at the top of the published page so that you can access key tools like publish/unpublish/delete (as Catch noted above) quickly, and also gain access to the more complex 'Meta' controls.
- I'm going to propose that for some nodes (like events, groups and projects) there will potentially be some division of content between Meta and People (which should hopefully be mostly pretty obvious). I'll be writing some proposed rules up around these shortly.
- the wireframes were done a couple of weeks ago and since then we have started to get a more of a detailed sense of what exactly will go into Meta and how it will work (re: menus/navigation/taxonomony in particular), this is not reflected in the current wireframes (although I don't think it will vary dramatically from what you can see there now)
Did I miss anything that I can answer now?
I've attached a copy of the wireframe under discussion for ease of reference.
Comment #17Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
I agree that more information would be useful.
I think having a meta-tab is better than not having one (i.e. the current situation) -- just look at the event example that I shared above. I can't see how we solve the event example without putting it under some sort of tab.
Gabor's patch is obviously a work in progress -- I believe Gabor is trying to focus on getting the wireframe/structure/flow right -- the visuals and design obviously need work so it feels premature to comment on the design aspects. At this stage, we need to consider this to be an incremental step, and have faith that we'll get the design right as well.
Having faith is not always easy, so I think it would be helpful if we could try to work out the event example in more detail so we have better understanding of how things will fit in. I've pointed Mark and Leisa to this issue so hopefully they'll get to that shortly.
Comment #18Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commented
I don't believe one can split flow, from visual design. I was trying to look at the bigger picture, hence the request for what we where actually discussing. Since that is a discussion we have to have sometime, if this isn't the place - that is all right, please say when and where is the place.
I don't think its about faith, its about making an informed design decision. For these large kind of changes in the user experience, we need to carefully look at implications. If you think we lack faith in MDB we are totally misunderstanding each other, assuming that was addressed to me. Doing code before design is something we have been doing all along, and it rarely drives an informed design decision rather it leaves us with a solution we have to continue (even though we know it has large usability problems) because its already half-way to core.
I will remove the tags, just tell us when we can review.

Comment #23David_Rothstein CreditAttribution: David_Rothstein commented
We should strive for letting developers decide what is meta and what not, so a customized site can change core decisions. Propagating the class from form API as opposed to hardwiring in the vertical tabs JS is therefore preferred IMHO.
Exactly, seems like that's the key here. Both vertical tabs and "meta tabs" have their use case and there's no perfect answer for exactly what should go where. But if core provides both as well as an easy way to move stuff between them, then everyone wins...
Thinking out loud it seems like drupal_render() is the natural place to deal with this kind of grouping? In fact, didn't the vertical tabs patch go in with some kind of '#group' key? Not sure how applicable that is here, but it seems like if you could call
drupal_render($form, 'meta') and have it pick out everything with #group set to 'meta' (as well as things like submit buttons that might not have a specific group), then it would be easy to move individual items back and forth in hook_form_alter() just by changing the #group. Obviously I have not fully thought this through, though :)
Also I'm thinking here of a situation where 'meta' would have the ability to be a menu callback, not just a JavaScript thing - not sure if that's the goal here, but if Dries's example in #8 is any guide it almost has to be. In particular, for the meta tab to be useful, it seems like it would need to get its own URL.
Comment #24Frando CreditAttribution: Frando commented
Regarding drupal_render($form, 'meta'): This sounds amazing. In fact, this really sounds like a (very much simplified) version of Steven Witten's fquery (http://drupal.org/project/fquery). fquery allows to select certain parts of a drupal_renderable array tree with a CSS-like syntax, matching properties of the elements in the tree. This is a topic which I have given some thought recently, once again while reading #455844: Allow more granular theming of drupal_render'ed elements. While fquery as it stands is not exaclty suitable for inclusion in core, mostly because it's much more than needed in the first place and also because it would likely be far too slow due to the use of regular expressions, a simple method to render or select specific elements of a renderable array tree would be very useful.
drupal_renderable arrays are being used in more and more places, which is great. drupal_render() has already undergone some improvements which made parts of its new applications easier. But in many places it would help a lot if we could explicitly render some parts of a renderable array tree. So a very simplified version of fquery, that allows nothing more but matching simple #properties of elements and selecting/rendering those elements could solve this issue and also allow much much finer grained and easier theming. Not only in the context of forms, but also for everything else that uses drupal_render, which fortunately is more and more stuff. I will try to get some code together that tries to do that, but I'm quite low on free time currently. Anyways, that doesn't necessarily belong into this issue. I will start a seperate issue should I get around to write some code.
There are likely other issues, usability wise, that are not yet solved - IMO discoverability of the "meta" part of the form is too low in the current mockups. Clicking a text link called meta in the top right corner to promote a post to the front page or make the update create a new revision is not as straight forward as it could be. With the current vertical tabs, here is not too much screen space used but you get a quick yet easy to skip overview of the available options (esp. with the descriptions on the vertical tabs). It's also true, though, that vertical tabs really are not suitable for, say, more than 8 tabs. I'm not saying that I oppose splitting the node form into two pages, not at all. But I think that the findability of the meta options should be improved, e.g. by making the tab visually more prominent, by improving its name and by including some more information (visually and textual) on what is to find there.
Comment #27cwgordon7 CreditAttribution: cwgordon7 commented
This updated patch abstracts the meta tabs logic into a "horizontal tabs" forms api element. It also removes vertical tabs from the node edit form, which make less sense when everything is separated into horizontal tabs anyway. This is also partially in anticipation of the cool interface designed for the "Meta" page at http://www.d7ux.org/content/.
Comment #29cwgordon7 CreditAttribution: cwgordon7 commented

Will it be possible to choose between having the Save/Publish/Whatever buttons stuck on the right (and I assume there is some js magic to make them stay visible no matter how far down you scroll) or having one set at top of screen and one set at bottom?
What happens if the admin/node entry theme already has a full right bar?*
Some layouts already cramp the middle even with a single side bar and not all users have wide-screen monitors.
IANAUX (I Am Not A Usability Expert) so my comments are probably invalid :)
* Looking back over the screenshots, it looks like this is in an overlay window so that probably doesn't count.
Comment #34cwgordon7 CreditAttribution: cwgordon7 commented
Thank you Gábor and Balefire. I think I've addressed most, if not all, of your points in the attached patch:
- I added some cool javascript to make the buttons on the right sticky as you scroll down the form.
- I added a set of buttons at the bottom, as specified in the mockup at http://www.d7ux.org/content/
- I removed the vertical tabs attribute/class handling - you're right, it no longer belongs in the patch, although I agree it's a good change (separate patch?)
- I changed the documentation of _form_expand_horizontal_tabs().
- Code comments in horizontal-tabs.js now refer exclusively to horizontal tabs ;)
- Didn't mean to remove that wrapping code, whoops. It's back there now
- It's theoretically possible for a form to contain more than one horizontal tabs element (e.g. horizontal tabs within horizontal tabs). In that case, elements on the entire form could only be assigned automatically to one of them (it doesn't really make sense to think about it the other way). The #tabs attribute indicates the default horizontal tabs element for the form, the one that all other elements will be sorted into; without being referenced by the #tabs attribute of the form, any horizontal tabs element would have to have its children placed directly below it, as with fieldsets, rather than arbitrarily scattered throughout the form. So yes, partially to avoid going through the form and trying to find a #tabs element, but for deeper reasons as well. :)
- I added the buttons at the bottom. Easy enough. :)

I tested this patch using the d7ux svn repository. It does not yet feel like an improvement to me. Personally, I think the vertical tabs are a great enhancement. This basically hides them or discards them.
How will this help the event node that was shown? Where do you see signup tabs fitting in? The devel tabs?
Comment #36ronia CreditAttribution: ronia commented
Dear Drupal Friends,
If "Save" button is top right
is it a sticky ?
When there is a long, long
text I have typed
as in a blog article
do I scroll up all the way
back again to click a
save button?
The other problem
I remember with stickies
is that many users
just don't like it
when things do not scroll
when they scroll the browser.
Comment #37KarenS CreditAttribution: KarenS commented
I'm with Moshe. I thought the vertical tabs were a great enhancement but that's now lost completely. The nice thing about the vertical tabs and the page top tabs that are being removed is that they provide a hint of what additional information is in them with an easy and obvious way to find out more about them. Hiding everything under a global 'meta' heading gives no hints at all of what is there.
I was at the usability testing in Minnesota where we saw people dealing with the last big 'usability' improvement, collapsed field sets. They ended up opening them all up to see what was in them so they could decide what they needed to do next. Hiding that information was not helpful, it was a hindrance.
And everyone missed information in the top right corner when they were trying to figure out how to take some action, like adding a new field. The eye tracking software clearly showed that they never even looked in the upper right corner of the page.
This also adds at least one extra click to a lot of processing. Where you could have seen a 'signup' tab and then clicked on it, you will now see a 'meta' tab, hopefully know enough to click on that, then see a signup tab, and then click on that.
I see module developers resorting to things like adding 'signup' buttons to the face of this form to make it easier to find and get to their information, and there goes your DX.
Anyway, my two cents.
Comment #38xmacinfo CreditAttribution: xmacinfo commented
Putting the button on the top right area is evil from my point of view. And it is a big loss of space.
Why not consider keeping the buttons below. Or, else, copy the buttons below so that we would not need to scroll up to find the buttons, especially on mobile devices.
Furthermore, content/meta might be a good idea, but I would go further. Why not replace the top right button with a summary of all meta information? That way we would not need to click on meta to see the content.
I see that when editing content I'd see a summary of all meta on the right column. And when editing meta, we'd see a summary of the content on the left of the screen.
Let's use everything learned while developing the vertical tabs (with summary on each tab) and apply the tabs UX concepts here.
D7UX is a good start, but we must improve their design, not stick with it.
Comment #41ronia CreditAttribution: ronia commented
Dear Gabor,
You said "you need to scroll to them (to bottom or right top)"
I meant to "right top"
When I am typing an article
as I go the end of typing
that is the last line
I see "Save" button
just below - so it is easy
to click without scroll.
Thus "bottom" is the normal
usual and easy position.
Right top or the wordpress mu-way
is somewhat cumbersome as
one has to scroll up, up and up
to save.
To avoid confusion
the super admin can be given choice
of three positions :
Save at top Save at Right top Save at bottom
He can enable any one or
more than one for his users.
Similarly if the admin wants
he can enable this multiple
choice for his users too.
I cannot remember what cms
this was which has floating button
that can be dragged at
any position of the screen
and based on cookie it
remains 'locked' there unless again
changed by the user.

Comment #45SteveBayerIN CreditAttribution: SteveBayerIN commented
It seems to me that the only real advantage of having the save/preview/publish buttons appearing on the right (instead of only on the bottom) is that it makes it faster to edit the categories and tags of content (when content categories and tags appear on the right.)
Here's my take on what appears in the Content section and what appears in the Meta section:
CCK fields created by administrators/site builders ought to appear on the content screen. If field content can be entered/edited by most registered users it ought to appear in the content section. I would suggest the default behavior for CCK created fields is that they appear in the content section unless they are configured to appear in the Meta section.
Contains module related settings such as user access permissions, user relationship settings, feedapi settings, etc...
I would gather that settings/fields which are only editable by an administrator or user roles with admin/site builder/site maintainer level privileges (eg. roles that can change path auto settings or similar) are to appear in the Meta section.
Basically, fields that can be added and edited by content writers/moderators are to appear in the content section while the meta section contains admin level editable fields. I do see vertical tabs continuing to be a benefit in the content section especially on sites with a lot of end user editable fields.
Comment #46Balefire CreditAttribution: Balefire commented
Looking good. That it is now visible no matter how far down you scroll is good.
Now on to my "Help out the thickie" question. Is the word Meta fixed as the title for the tab? I only ask because I didn't know what it actually stood for in this context so had to go hunting for the meaning. Still not 100% convinced I now know, but at least I have a vague idea. Is there a less technical but still descriptive title? Like Actions, Options or something?
Comment #47Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
I wouldn't obsess about the word 'Meta' -- I'd expect that it is one of those things users would quickly learn. It sounds like a nice /container/ word to me.
Either way, Leisa said the word 'Meta' was a first attempt (placeholder), and that they'd do more user testing on it to see if it works.
Lastly, I believe Joomla! also uses Meta, but I might be mistaken. If they do, that doesn't mean that it is the best word to use -- it's just a data point.

Comment #51deekayen CreditAttribution: deekayen commented
Since my #6788: Submit without scroll got duped, I read up on this thread. I see two issues in this node: 1) moving the buttons to the right, and 2) creating a meta tab. I'm focusing right now on the buttons on the right and what I see is a lot of theming markup going into core. I don't like markup in core because contrib theming has to un-do what core does to change it.
I think it's great and fine if the design for the new MB template calls for buttons on the right side and that makes all the marketing people happy and joyful, but I think this is breaking the natural flow of forms. IMO, you start at the top, and end at the bottom. You don't then go to the top, fill down, and then right again.
If I might actually cite some research from my PhD for the first time ever, a guy named Don Dillman, who wrote Internet, Mail, and Mixed-Mode Surveys: The Tailored Design Method (in multiple editions), spent his entire life showing that multi-columnar surveys don't work as well as when you take all the questions and other items and simply list them down the page. He tries to prove with research that the form should be BORING, because it's the easiest for any idiot to follow. The research was in part because of people who put survey items and splatter them all over a page in an effort to get it on one page or save paper. I wasn't there the usability testing, but #37 makes sense to me in this context, where people apparently didn't look at the right.
Anyway, all that aside, it seems to me that if you keep the flow of the form as it is now, and whether you add in another submit button through #6788: Submit without scroll or not, contrib/themers/optional X can move the buttons to wherever they want if they are sufficiently tagged with CSS ids, without having to un-do core moving it to the right. At the very least, maybe this should then be moved to Garland's queue?

For the record, I dislike this direction and prefer the simpler #6788: Submit without scroll. I added a few comments in #35, and KarenS expanded in #37. I can't believe we are discarding vertical tabs on node form in favor of this experience.

Lets note that this patch and vertical tabs are not necessarily mutually exclusive, we can keep the vertical tabs on the "meta" tab if we really want to.
Comment #54moshe weitzman CreditAttribution: moshe weitzman commented
Thats a good point, charlie.
Still, the point of meta is to reduce clutter on the node authoring form and i feel that core has already achieved that. We had not achieved that when these UX mockups were made. Moving stuff off to a meta tab is no longer needed nor desireable, IMO.
Comment #55xmacinfo CreditAttribution: xmacinfo commented
I am so tempted to turn the status of this issue to "won't fix" or "by design".
Vertical tabs are a lot more finished and usable as what is proposed by the D7UX experts. They are reducing clutters, remove the need to scroll down and up and remove the need to click on the (meta) tab to see the settings.
The design made by D7UX looks nice, but, like someone else mentioned, that type of design should be done at the theming level. Also, the D7UX teams loves to hide information behind tabs (again the meta information hider).
I prefer a more opened design, where a summary of each setting is clearly visible in the node creation form.
So, can we close this issue with "won't fix" or "by design"?
Comment #56David_Rothstein CreditAttribution: David_Rothstein commented
OK, let's slow down...
1. Can we all agree that regardless of whether or not these horizontal tabs are a good idea for the node form, that they are a useful new Form API element that should be provided by Drupal, for developers who want to use them? I really like the way this patch makes them similar in implementation to vertical tabs; although it's not 100% of the way there yet, it seems close to allowing you to switch a form back and forth between vertical tabs (as they are now) and horizontal tabs with just a line or two of code in hook_form_alter(), and maybe switch individual form elements from appearing in one or the other place too... That seems pretty neat.
2. Perhaps the decision of whether or not to use them by default on the node form could then be made later. I think the concerns raised above are very valid, and for many of the node settings vertical tabs work great - but sometimes you do want to hide information away and that is what the horizontal tabs were designed for. This may be crazy, but thinking about the core node types and what they're intended for, it almost feels like an Article works better with the horizontal/meta tab, whereas a Page works better with vertical tabs? (This might not actually be a good idea, but the point is that the API could give you freedom to make that kind of switch easily.)
3. Can we also all agree that this issue is getting really confusing to follow, given that it is discussing two totally different things at once? I think the stuff about the button placement should really be moved somewhere else - possibly #6788: Submit without scroll (I am not sure why that should be considered a duplicate).
Comment #57KarenS CreditAttribution: KarenS commented
I have been playing around with the new Admin module in D6, which has a right section with buttons and taxonomy and everything else below (no meta page), and I can see some advantages of being able to split the form into two side-by-side sections and move some things. like taxonomy, to show up beside the body instead of below it, if I can control what goes there. And one place where it would be nice to have buttons at the top is when deleting a node (it's a PITA to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page just to get to the delete button). And I can also see situations where it would be nice to tuck some less used information away on a second page, like the meta tab does here. But on some sites I don't have room for this side-by-side form, I'd prefer a longer, narrower form. On others I would move lots of things to the right side.
The problem is that I might want to handle this differently for different contents types and different audiences on various sites. We're having trouble coming up with one solution that makes everyone happy because our content types can be so very different now that we have flexible content types with flexible fields (this example doesn't yet have all the many fields that real-world forms might have, so it over-simplifies the problem). There probably is no one-size-fits-all solution. We're almost to the point now where we're talking about a node form with regions (left front, right front, bottom front, meta page) and a slew of elements that might go into these regions, and what we probably really want is something where you can see a form with all its regions and all the available elements and be able to drag and drop the elements into different places. You don't want a meta page for this content type? Drag all that information to the bottom of the form as vertical tabs. You want buttons on the right or on the bottom or both? Drag them there.
I think something like this could be done with formbuilder, if someone gets it ported to D7 (and quicksketch has already said he's not sure he has time to do it). That's a big project, so I'm not sure it is feasible, just saying I think that's the only way you'll get something that everyone will like. At the very least we're going to need to give administrators and developers options about what goes on the meta page, what goes on the right, what goes to the bottom of the form as vertical tabs, and where the buttons are displayed.
Comment #58yched CreditAttribution: yched commented
Field API fields will definitely need a way to tie with this. Field A will be relevant for the main section, while field B will be eligible for the 'meta' section.
This is true for admin-defined fields, but also for module-defined fields ('taxo as field' - not in yet).
The CCK D6 notion of 'fieldgroups' seems to have much more flavors in D7: (HTML) fieldsets, vertical tabs, 'meta' section here...
So I'm not sure this topic can be decoupled from the reflexion on Field UI (whether based on form_builder or not).
Just in case I didn't spam enough issues already, I'll re-link to my UI-oriented summary of D7 Field API

HAIFA (Jul. 30)
An American professor and an Israeli rabbi participated today in the seventh "American-Israeli Dialogue" sponsored by the American Jewish Congress but their views were so far apart that there was neither debate nor dialogue.
Prof. Walter Kaufmann of Princeton University said he was religious as long as he was persecuted for being Jewish but that when he came to the United States where no one persecuted him, he lost his religious faith. He said, in criticizing Israelis who firmly believe there is widespread anti-Semitism in the United States, that if there was, the American Jewish Congress would not be worried about future Jewish identity of American Jews. He added that his hostility to nationalism did not entail hostility toward Israel but that he wished Israel was less nationalistic.
Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz asserted that Jews had always been different from others–"a small island in an ocean of paganism" and that the Western world had turned back to paganism. What the Jewish people needed, he declared, was that minimum of Jewish education which gave the young access to traditional sources of Judaism. At another session. Prof. Avigdor Levontin of the Hebrew University said Ameri- can Jews needed a new set of standards to justify their life in the United States. He rejected as unacceptable the view that living in exile was Divine retribution for the "misdeeds" of the Jewish people and that the Jews had a "mission" to redeem mankind. Dr. Harold Weisberg of Brandeis University said he viewed with mistrust the concept of "Jewish identity." He called it a "new myth" and said nationalism was not enough and spiritual values could not be tossed aside.
Rabbi Arthur Green, leader of the Chavurath Shalom community in Cambridge, Mass denounced in the earlier session, the Jewish religious "establishment" in the U.S. and said rabbis were not spiritual leaders. He said American Jewish youth sought new content for their lives which the present Jewish religious leadership was unable to provide. He also said that Israel must demonstrate to hoped-for immigrants that life in Israel can open the way for all Jews to personal fulfilment and spiritual enrichment.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of the few occasions we have seen the government and opposition in agreement on a reform.
The electorate realises the system is broken and that disability is one genetic coin toss, burst blood vessel or car accident away. The scheme is now an election BBQ stopper and neither party can afford to lag.
Yet last week provided sharp lessons to those working to make the NDIS a reality. Gonski saw more money go to primary schools, at the expense of universities. The message? Good ideas, without sustainable funding, can involve perverse trade-offs.
With increased pressure on budget revenue forecasts, 'how will it be funded?' is the question on everyone's lips.
The cost of the NDIS is estimated to be at least $15 billion. The Institute of Public Affairs has called for all government spending to meet an NDIS test. For example – could subsidies to the car industry be better spent on equipment for a child with a disability?
Business Council of Australia chief executive
Trade-offs with the ''NDIS test'' have begun to resemble Russian roulette across mental health, housing, income support, emergency relief, family support, indigenous programs, youth, the regions, industry assistance and healthcare.
NDIS campaigners have been shy of engaging on funding for fear of the ogre of taxes or savage trade-offs, but if next month's budget fails to seriously lock in funding, we need to buckle down and address how we really embed this scheme in our social security fabric.
The murky art of public accounting
Calling the NDIS Disabilitycare invites direct comparison with Medicare, which is partly funded from a levy on the pay slip of every Australian taxpayer.
Levies are a path travelled more often than either political party might have us think including the gun buy-back and the Timor tax under former prime minister
In 2013, as we look across the carnage from Colorado to Sandy Hook, does anyone believe the buy-back was a bad investment?
A truly hypothecated levy, with proceeds invested in a sovereign fund for a legislated purpose could enable Australians to look at our pay slips and know that we are assuring against the costs of key equipment or therapies if they or a family member acquired a disability.
Jaded insiders will tell you that nailing down spending in the commonwealth's public accounts is a dark and murky art. Announcements get repackaged and funding slides across financial years or between programs. Add in state contributions and it gets blurrier still. A levy going into a secured fund could bring the investment into clear view and guarantee the entitlement vision recommended by the Productivity Commission. In line with accountability, another good idea is the Coalition's suggestion of a cross party committee to oversee the delivery of NDIS in the next Parliament.
Australians with disabilities deserve a funded scheme which joins the best minds across the parliament to get it right. The slow expiry of Medibank, the first health insurance plan introduced in the dying days of the Whitlam government, provides a warning about the fragility of social insurance that fails to secure funding and bipartisan support.

When it first became available, THOMAS included full-text of bills from the 103rd Congress and was updated with new bills as they became available. Here's how it looked in its early days:
Thomas' user interface changed over time and was expanded to include the Congressional Record as well as bills since the 101st Congress, bill tracking since the 93rd Congress, and committee reports since the 104th Congress.

SpringTree Special Opportunities Fund will sink up to $29.4 million into Sino Gas, involving an initial $1.2 million, then between $600,000 to $1.2 million approximately monthly to buy shares in Sino Gas over the next two years. The minimum investment will be $15 million.
The shares to be issued to SpringTree will be priced at a rate linked to the prevailing market price at the time, Sino Gas said Wednesday in a statement. Sino Gas shares surged about 10 per cent on the news.
Sino Gas, which has a market value of about $67 million, is SpringTree's fifth ASX-listed energy investment over the past two years and follows investments in Linc Energy, Solimar Energy and Buccaneer Energy.
The funds from SpringTree will be used to finance an appraisal drilling program at Sino Gas's two licences in north China in 2011 and 2012. Success in the program should result in "substantial increases" in gas sales as the company moves towards developing a gas resource base of over 9 trillion cubic feet, Sino Gas said.
Eugene Tablis, a managing director of SpringTree Global Investors, the manager of the fund, said he hoped the financing would enable Sino Gas to implement its plans and unlock the value of its assets.

The Ensemble has billed Birthrights, opening on May 29 at The Playhouse, as "the world premiere" in its season brochure but it may be pipped at the post if the Melbourne Theatre Company's version, directed by Tom Gutteridge, opens next April in its 50th anniversary season.
At any rate, snaring the new Williamson has brought great cheer to the lean, close-knit Ensemble Theatre in Kirribilli, which has a full-time staff of seven and gets no government subsidy.
The playwright says he remains on positive terms with the STC's artistic director, Robyn Nevin, who has directed and/or produced his past six major premieres.
Lorraine Bayly, who aims to retire from the stage next year, will star in Birthrights, with Kate Raison, Michelle Doake and Glenn Hazeldine. It is a domestic drama about the ethical dilemmas and family conflict which erupt when a woman has a surrogate baby for her elder sister, only to find she's unable to have her own later in life, with her attempts at IVF futile.
"I find that Sandra [Bates] can find the humanity and truth in my plays," says Williamson. "Sometimes the critics say I only write one-liners, but it's often the case that what I put on the page is less comical than how it comes across (in a production).
"After I choose the subject matter of my plays I have to be true to it and so the tone of the writing has to fit the material. The subject of Birthrights has to be treated respectfully but I don't go out of my way to resist the urge to make people laugh."
The plays to be staged next year also include John Mortimer's The Dock Brief, starring Warren Mitchell, Glen Berger's Underneath the Lintel , with Daniel Mitchell, The Cavalcaders, by Billy Roche and staged by Maeliosa Stafford, Morris Panych's Aunty and Me, Arthur Miller's Broken Glass, and Why Kids? written and directed by Henri Szeps.
Also on the bill is the eagerly awaited Harp on the Willow by John Misto, and starring Marina Prior. The play was to have premiered next month but was postponed so that Prior could star in Cameron Mackintosh's production of The Witches of Eastwick, which opened a fortnight ago in Melbourne.
"I'm a great believer in trying to get the best plays that are available to us from around the world," says Bates. "The good thing about not getting any government funding is that we can please ourselves and our audiences.
"We've been having a remarkable run for the past couple of years with many seasons having to be extended or transferred as was the case with After the Ball. But I'd have to say that it's becoming increasingly difficult for us without government subsidy. We are always willing to give ideas a go and there a several improvement we want to make to the venue here. We also have to look for a principal sponsor, so there's no shortage of challenges .. ."
In the past, the company has attempted to enlarge its scope, including the year it embraced The Independent Theatre in North Sydney, which ended up splitting its audience. Bates says touring its work to the Riverside Theatres in Parramatta may be an answer but not until the sums are done. As ever, she's open to ideas and continually looking to get the Ensemble Theatre noticed. Small it may be; its ambitions are anything but.

Hey, everyone! The week is just blowing on by, isn't it? Guess how much of my Christmas shopping I've got done? (Hint–the answer rhymes with "hero".) I've got a shopping date planned with a friend this weekend and we're going to knock it all out in a few hours, with plenty of time left over for a cocktail.
I'm sure at this point you thought the Christmas decorating posts were over. First there was my home tour, followed by a post about my tree, another home tour, and finally the post about the cocoa bar. Stop the insanity! Well, we can't, because I'm participating in yet another blogging group exercise, this time hosted by the lovely Tiffany of The House Down the Lane. (Say what you will about me, but you can't say I'm not a team player.)
This time a group of bloggers wanted to share a room that they haven't already shared on a holiday tour, which should be really interesting, because bloggers will be decorating pantries, musty basements, closets–you know, the leftover rooms. Which red-headed step-child of a space did I pick to get some holiday love? My back porch.
This picture is from my April porch update, which means it looks way nicer here than it did before I decided to spruce it up for this post. (Just imagine all the plants being dead and the porch not being swept for several months and you'll get the general idea.) Once again, I kept things simple (and cheap) because we aren't going to be here for Christmas, and I'm only willing to spend so much when a space is being used for blogging stunt-purposes.
I added rosemary and pansies to the urns, just like I do every year when it gets cold. It adds a little bit of color and is significantly better looking than the dead plants. For the table, I grabbed a simple glass vase, stuck a candle in it, and then added some small ornaments. The finishing touch is a wreath. I had all of these items on hand, so this didn't cost me anything. Woohoo!
Another bargain decor idea is to create a simple greenery swag with the branch cuttings you can get for free from Home Depot. (I'm guessing Lowe's does the same, but Home Depot is closer to my house.) I clipped the branches and wired them together with some floral wire. The last step is to add the ribbon of your choice.
Hang these bad-boys from outdoor lights, in between windows, on the backs of your outdoor chairs, etc. (They're free, after all.)
The next item I set my thrifty-eyes on was my obelisk and planter. The obelisk is from Wal-Mart and is a bargain at $5.87. (I scooped up 3 last spring, and I bet they'll be back in stock soon.) Place a wreath on top of your planter (real or artificial–I won't tell). Set a poinsettia inside, and place the obelisk over the poinsettia. Then carefully pull a few blooms through the openings. These would be crazy-impressive as a pair flanking your front door. (I only had one container, so you'll have to use your imagination.)
Smaller poinsettias are much more affordable than the big ones. I clustered them together in a pretty basket for more impact.
The wreaths are my favorite part of this budget makeover. I've had them forever and decided to update them with some new ribbon that I found at Target in the dollar section. I was like a mad woman digging through the bins to get all of the remaining rolls. Remember, we don't go to Target to make friends. #truth
To get the same look, hang your wreath with a Command hook and tape the faux ribbon hanger to the door. Making a loop bow is as easy as it sounds. Make loops with the ribbon and wrap some floral wire around the loops to secure them before fanning them out. (Do y'all want a tutorial? I've been making these bows forever so I think it's simple, but maybe you don't feel the same way. Let me know.)
Ahh, so festive! I love when simple (and cheap) ideas turn out this pretty.
Now it's time to see what everyone else came up with for their formerly neglected, not-included-on-any-tour spaces!

Speculation Edit
- According to his high rank, we must assume that he wasn't aboard the ship when it was stranded in the Delta Quadrant. He may have been assigned aboard during the test phase of the ship like Cmdr. Rick Berman and Cmdr. Jeri Taylor who were also listed on the dedication plaque. Another explanation could be that the crew manifest was deliberately falsified in order to disturb aliens who tries to scan the database or board the ship, which could explain the use of the people on the dedication plaque with ranks that obviously are doubtful.
- It seems rather odd for him to have such a relatively low rank after almost 80 years of service, but it is possible that he was a "Commander, Starfleet" and held an admiral grade.

The Volumes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Volumes (sometimes written as The Volume's) were an American R&B vocal group formed in 1960 in Detroit, Michigan. The group's 1962 single for Chex Records, "I Love You", was a hit in the U.S., peaking at #22 that year on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The tune was an amalgam of doo wop and Latin beats, and was co-written by bass Ernest Newsom and the group's manager, Willie Ewing.[2] The group recorded further singles for Chex and American Arts but never returned to the charts, remaining archetypical one-hit wonders.

Rite Aid's philanthropic arm is donating $50,000 to Hurricane Irene relief efforts, Rite Aid said Wednesday.
Target announced its commitment to assist with Hurricane Irene relief efforts through a donation totaling $250,000 in cash and products.
The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust is helping to support the relief efforts for communities along the East Coast impacted by Hurricane Irene by donating $75,000 to the American Red Cross and distributing supplies to local residents.
Retail same-store sales held steady with a 4.9% gain in August as retailers reported mostly solid back-to-school results at the same time sales at department stores were hurt by the impact of Hurricane Irene and weaker spending plans by shoppers, Kantar Retail reported on Thursday.
Rx Response late Monday announced it has activated its Pharmacy Reporting Status Tool to aid storm managers and people in communities affected by Hurricane Irene.
By the time sales figures for August are tallied, last week's Hurricane Irene may have flooded more than the East Coast seaboard; she may have flooded pharmacy registers, too.
Hurricane Irene is expected to pummel the East Coast over the weekend, and CVS/pharmacy has announced that it is taking every step to prepare its stores and, if needed, help with recovery efforts.
With Hurricane Irene barreling up the East Coast and expected to make landfall in the Northeast this weekend, Rite Aid is stocking extra emergency supplies in its stores in affected regions, the retail pharmacy chain said.
As officials across the East Coast closely monitor the approach of Hurricane Irene, Walgreens on Thursday afternoon released several tips for assuring prescription needs are met for those potentially impacted by the storm.

Boyd nets goal and asssit in 3-0 victory
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Senior Robbie Boyd netted an early goal and assisted another as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's soccer team posted a solid 3-0 victory over IUPUI Sunday afternoon at Michael A. Carroll Stadium.
The Panthers (4-0-1) scored early against the Jaguars (0-5-2) and let the defense take care of the rest, recording their second shutout of the 2013 season with freshman goalkeeper Liam Anderson needing three saves to earn the clean sheet.
"I thought we got off to a really good start in the game," UWM head coach Kris Kelderman said. "We felt good about our possession and energy level and then Robbie scored a really nice goal. I felt like we were in control of the game, even though there was a spell there in the first half where we got a little casual. But, we regrouped at halftime and had a pretty solid second half. We got some nice goals to show for it and I was pleased with the result and our effort today."
The victory keeps UWM unbeaten on the season at 4-0-1, the first time since starting the 1996 campaign 5-0 that it has not lost through five games.
"Last year we had a very good home record and our record on the road was not that impressive," Kelderman said. "One of our goals this season was to improve on that. So far it's been two games on the road and we have had two good results, including a shutout. It's a sign that we are improving. We have to keep going, but it's a good start."
Boyd scored for the second game in a row, finding the back of the net in the 11th minute with the eventual game-winner to set the tone for the day. The goal was assisted by senior Austin Toth and came in the 11th minute.
Boyd assisted UWM's next goal, sending a nice cross to the foot of junior Laurie Bell, who finished from six yards for his third goal of the season in the 63rd minute.
Senior Riley Weiner then closed out the scoring with an 81st-minute strike, splitting the defense and burying a shot from the top of the 18-yard box.
"We've been emphasizing that second goal with all of the chances and opportunities we have had the past few games," Kelderman said. "We were able to pull that off and take some pressure off us. Once we got the second goal, things got a little easier and Riley had a great third goal."
For the contest, Milwaukee held an 18-11 advantage in shots, including 6-3 in shots on goal. It also had four of the seven corner kicks and 14 of the 24 total fouls in the contest.
After a weekend on the road, it's back to Engelmann Stadium Thursday as the Panthers host Western Illinois. Game time is set for 7 p.m. under the lights.
