The Redlands Benchwarmers threw a party Dec. 12 in Terrier Hall at Redlands High School to toast and roast Al Sanchez for 50 years' dedication to the group on his 80th birthday.
Benchwarmers, established by Terrier football Coach Paul Womack in 1952, provides funding wherever needed in all of Redlands' public high school athletic programs.
Sanchez is known as "Mr. Stats," because he has attended and kept statistics for every RHS football game except for two since 1957, including games out of state. Benchwarmers president Steve Chapman describes Sanchez as a "walking history book of Redlands sports knowledge."
It was Womack who brought Sanchez into the Benchwarmers organization.
Womack's son Darryl spoke on behalf of the family at the fete, and presented his toast in a rhyme.
Here is the toast Darryl Womack gave:
Happy Birthday Al
Seems Al has been at it since the dawning of time,
So, to honor his evening, I've crafted a rhyme.
Eighty years old, now that's more years than most,
Instead of a "speech" I have made mine a toast.
Make sure you've got something to drink to this guy
He'll be sipping his prune juice – hey, why should I lie?
Yeah, he's old, but there's much more to celebrate here,
He has now been a Benchwarmer for 50 odd years,
That's as old as I am to spend with these guys –
How bad do you have to have been in past lives?
If you need information 'bout Terrier sports
There's just one man to ask, he's got stats of all sorts.
An RHS grad, he's a Dawg to the core,
Start cheering for Cats and he'll show you the door.
If you're also a Dawg, then Al's on your side too -
We're all Terriers deep down, check our blood, it runs blue.
Unassuming and focused about Al I would say,
He's been there for his Terriers day after day.
It's really amazing, Al's always the same,
From season to season, and game after game.
I remember him there since I was a small kid,
But never quite knew what that guy ever did.
All I knew was, he's a friend of my dad.
He was always around and that wasn't too bad.
Al's been a constant through thick and through thin,
He's there when we lose and he's there when we win.
As the North Star shines bright in the sky every night
And the Terriers put up a valiant fight,
In the East, the sun rises, and sets in the West
Ask any old Dawg, they'll agree Al's the best.
I tried hard to dig up some dirt for this day,
But no one could think of a bad thing to say.
"Al's a good guy" – "He's one of the best"
"He's loyal and true" – "Al's been put to the test"
Al's played his role for the Big Blue Machine
He's as important as any part of the team.
Al's been a huge help to Terrier football,
For Jim and for Mike and for Dave, Jim and Paul.
He's got all the records, he's kept all the stats,
He's got programs and score sheets and more beyond that.
Al's got mountains of articles and Terrier stuff.
At some point you'd think that enough was enough.
Every guy needs a hobby, the Terriers are his.
If it paid well at all, he could make it his biz.
A labor of love and a joy that is great,
Better figure his system before it's too late!
80 years old, now Al's no spring chicken,
But, he'll follow the Dawgs while his ticker keeps tickin'.
He'll be there for the Terriers as he's always done,
He loves what he does 'cause he's fan Number 1.
So, while we're gathered together to celebrate Al
Let's lift up a glass to toast everyone's pal.
He's given so much to the Terrier pack,
'Bout time we came together to give something back.
Al, you've been part of my family since I was a kid -
No one values you more than my father did.
So, let's raise a glass high, 'cause that's what they're for -
Happy Birthday to you, Al, may you have many more!
The Womack family, 2014

This Article explores the circumstances under which the federal legislative apparatus may be unable to respond to a politically objectionable statutory interpretation from the Supreme Court. The Article builds upon existing economic models of statutory interpretation, for the first time incorporating transaction costs into the analysis. The Article concludes by identifying recent real-world disputes in which transaction costs constrained Congress and the President from overriding the Court.

Despite the economic downturn, Microsoft intends to ramp up the number of servers running in its datacenters worldwide by 15 times over the next five years.
The growth, outlined in a presentation on Monday at its Professional Developers Conference, is designed to handle increased hosted computing demand from enterprise software running on its new Windows Azure platform , also announced Monday, as well as third-party services Microsoft hopes to attract.
[ For more news from Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference, check out InfoWorld's special report. ]
Microsoft expects to boost the number of datacenters it operates by three times, its power usage by 15 times, and the Internet traffic going out of its datacenters by nine-fold, said Benjamin Ravani, general manager of Microsoft's Global Foundation Services, during a technical session.
Ravani said Microsoft operates "tens of thousands of servers" but would not disclose the exact number.
Microsoft had announced similar growth projections earlier this year. But Ravani's reiteration of those comments come a week after Redmond announced plans to tighten its fiscal belt, including cutting $500 million in spending this fiscal year by slowing hiring and cutting travel and marketing expenses.
Despite its belated arrival to so-called cloud computing services, Microsoft appears to be sparing no dime on building out a back-end infrastructure that tops competitors such as Amazon.com , Google, and Salesforce.com.
Microsoft has announced five datacenters in the past 12 months, including in San Antonio, Texas, Chicago, and Des Moines, Iowa. Both its Chicago and Des Moines datacenters will be massive, $500 million facilities that will have many of its servers pre-configured and installed in shipping containers .
Investing in a big way now, Microsoft has argued, will save money later.
Demand for some services is already huge. Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger Monday has more than 450 million unique users in the system, passes more than 8.3 billion messages and performs more than 1 billion Web authentications a day, said Ravani.
Besides touting the scale of Microsoft's cloud infrastructure, Ravani also touted the resiliency of its network, which he said was the result of several hard-earned lessons.
For instance, in November 2006, half of a million users of a Microsoft online service experienced authentication delays for several hours. The problem was an overload of the authentication system caused by a poorly-written internal batch job. As a result, Microsoft created a policy that all batch jobs need to be tested first, and increased security, so that users can't access key data services without authorization.
In a March 2007 case, 75 percent of users for Microsoft's online services were unable to log in for five hours. Microsoft discovered that a bug with a partner's service had also resulted in too many authentication requests. Ravani described it as a "denial of service attack on Windows Live ID."
Microsoft improved its monitoring to detect such service failures more quickly, developed fine-grained throttling at many different levels of its architecture to prevent out-of-control traffic, and implemented a policy says "your transactions get dropped if they exceed quota, so you don't eat other partners' lunch."

Ten QUICK things, because I'm wicked busy today:
1. Apple cinnamon muffins just came out of the oven. Punkin' Pie approves; after I fed her a bit (I've got to TEST them, after all), her response was "Me likey!"
2. I think I may have beaten back all of Mom's medical bills. I'm going to wait another week or two to see if any more statements come in the mail; once they stop coming, the will gets executed and everything gets handed over to MeadMaker.
3. I'm headed to Mom's house this afternoon to meet wtih MeadMaker and Bobbie and go through some more stuff. I might bring home some of the things that Mom set aside for me tonight; until now, I've left those things in the environment. I might be ready to bring them home now.
4. I've decided that I love my job at CHS. I'm working my ASS off right now, but once I get settled and figure out my rhythm, this is going to be one sweet gig.
5. I've got four books going at once. I Know This Much is True is on my bedside table. I'm working my way through Me Talk Pretty One Day with my college kids. I've got The House of Sand and Fog happening for the Reader's Workshop in my senior English class and The Color of Water going in my freshman group. Pretty soon, I'm going to start reading The Book Thief with my freshmen and The Sunflower with my seniors, so that'll be six. Ooof!
6. My check engine light is still on. Dammit!
7. There's little I would like more right now than to have a full-function copier/printer/scanner in my basement. I'm not talking the little desktop model I've got (which is fine for an everyday person, but wholly insufficient for a teacher) or the lame-ass copier we've got at CHS. No; I want a copier as big as a Volkswagen that copies double-sided and collates AND staples and turns the files into PDFs while it's at it. Maybe Santa can get me one?
8. I'm dreading the summer-winter clothes switch, but it's going to have to happen soon; it's pretty damned cool in the morning and we've not seen temperatures above about 75° in a few weeks. Punkin' needs new pants (wretched child keeps growing!) and I think I have a bin of size 8-10 clothes in the attic, so that'll be good, but I hate the feel of freshly-exploded Chinese laundry that my house takes on during clothes-switch weekends…
9. I adore my husband.
10. Are you watching Sons of Anarchy? Did you SEE what happened last week?! My Tivo is locked and loaded, and I'm looking forward to sitting down tomorrow evening (after the girls go to bed, of course) to enjoy watching some Aryans get a perfectly-executed, deliciously vengeful, serious ass-kicking. Boy, howdy! do these writers have a knack for getting me to cringe in gleeful anticipation!

Higher Rates of Migraine Headaches in People With Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Celiac.com 04/10/2013 - People with celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease have higher rates of migraine headaches than their counterparts without those conditions, according to a new study.
The research team included Alexandra K. Dimitrova MD, Ryan C. Ungaro MD, Benjamin Lebwohl MD, Suzanne K. Lewis MD, Christina A. Tennyson MD, Mark W. Green MD, Mark W. Babyatsky MD, and Peter H. Green MD.
A team of researchers recently set out to assess the rates of migraine headaches in clinic and support group patients with celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to compare those with a sample group of healthy control subjects.
A number of European studies have shown higher rates of migraine headaches in patients with celiac disease and IBD compared with control subjects.
For the study, participants all answered a self-administered survey containing clinical, demographic, and dietary data, as well as questions about headache type and frequency.
They also used both the ID-Migraine screening tool and the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6).
The research team analyzed five hundred and two subjects who met exclusion criteria. Of these, 188 had celiac disease, 111 had IBD, 25 had gluten sensitivity (GS), and 178 healthy subjects served as controls.
Thirty percent of celiac patients, 56% of gluten-sensitive patients, 23% of IBD patients, and 14% of control subjects reported chronic headaches (P < .0001).
Using multivariate logistic regression, the team found that all subjects with celiac disease (odds ratio [OR] 3.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.78-8.10), GS (OR 9.53, 95% CI 3.24-28.09), and IBD (OR 2.66, 95%CI 1.08-6.54) had significantly higher rates of migraine headaches than did control subjects.
Migraine rates were influenced by female sex (P = .01), depression, and anxiety (P = .0059) were independent predictors of migraine headaches, whereas age >65 was protective (P = .0345).
When it came to grading their migraines, seventy-two percent of celiac disease subjects reported having migraine that were severe in impact, compared with 30% of IBD, 60% of GS, and 50% of C subjects (P = .0919).
The number of years on gluten-free diet had no influence on the severity of migraines.
Migraine headaches were more common in people with celiac disease and IBD patients than in control subjects.
The team points out that future studies should screen migraine patients for celiac disease and assess the effects of gluten-free diet on celiac disease patients with migraines.

I find it interesting that "the number of years on gluten-free diet had no influence on the severity of migraines." The study should have looked at the frequency as well. For me, avoiding gluten results in fewer migraines (as well as less joint pain).

The study states,"The number of years on gluten-free diet had no influence on the severity of migraines." A migraine is the first clue I have been gluten, no gluten, no headaches. I have been gluten-free for 6 months.

I spent a lot of my childhood through to young adulthood with debilitating cramping sitting on a toilet and often not getting to sleep for many hours over many nights due to migraines.
I cut gluten out of my diet at 22 and rarely if ever suffer gut pains or migraines today. Except for the surprise attacks when eating out and a chef has incorrectly listed ingredients or is ignorant to them though I find most eateries really know what they're about these days. Thankfully!

Operating within an uncertain, unpredictable environment, the Army must be prepared to sustain operations during a period of persistent conflict — a blurring of familiar distinctions between war and peace.
To improve our ability to provide forces and capabilities to the Combatant Commanders for the foreseeable future, the Army is undergoing its most profound restructuring in more than 50 years.
With the support of the Congress, the President, and the Department of Defense, we are making tremendous progress.
Transforming to Accomplish the Mission: Modularity, Rebalancing, and Stabilization
Army Transformation is focused to improve the capability of the Soldier, who remains the centerpiece of our formations. It has four primary goals.
- First, we are restructuring from a division-based to a brigade-based force. These brigades are designed as modules, or self-sufficient and standardized Brigade Combat Teams, that can be more readily deployed and combined with other Army and joint forces to meet the precise needs of the Combatant Commanders. The result of this transformational initiative will be an operational Army that is larger and more powerful, flexible and rapidly deployable.
This program, which we call modularity, will increase the combat power of the Active Component by 30 percent as well as the size of the Army's overall pool of available forces by 60 percent. The total number of available brigades will increase from 48 to 77 with 10 active brigades (three-and-a-third divisions in our old terms) being added by the end of 2006. Our goal for this larger pool of available forces is to enable the Army to generate forces in a rotational manner that will support two years at home following each deployed year for active forces, four years at home following each deployed year for the Army Reserve and five years at home following each deployed year for National Guard forces. Implementing this program will provide more time to train, predictable deployment schedules, and the continuous supply of landpower required by the Combatant Commanders and civil authorities.
The force, above the brigade level, will be supported by similarly modular supporting brigades that provide aviation, fires, logistics, and other support. Our headquarters structure will also become far more versatile and efficient as we eliminate an entire echelon of command - moving from three to two levels. Similar innovations will occur in the logistics and intelligence organizations that support our forces and other Services.
Our restructuring is already well underway. The 3rd Infantry Division, the vanguard of the invasion of Iraq, will return to Iraq as a restructured, modular force.
- Second, we are rebalancing our active and reserve forces to produce more units with the skills in highest demand. This will realign the specialties of more than 100,000 Soldiers, producing a 50 percent increase in infantry capabilities, with similar increases in military police, civil affairs, intelligence, and other critical skills. We have already converted more than 34,000 spaces.
- Third, Soldiers are being stabilized within units for longer periods to increase combat readiness and cohesion, reduce turnover and eliminate many repetitive training requirements. With fewer Soldiers and families moving, more Soldiers will be available on any given day to train or to fight. This initiative, started in 2004, also transitions our Army from an individual replacement manning system to a unit focused system - to prepare Soldiers to go to war as vital members of cohesive units.
- Fourth, we are working to complement our operational transformation by ensuring that our business, force generation and training functions improve how we support a wartime Army and the other Services. We are divesting functions no longer relevant and reengineering business processes to increase responsiveness to the Combatant Commanders. Other improvements include developing a joint, interdependent end-to-end logistics structure, and fostering a culture of innovation to increase institutional agility. We seek to improve effectiveness and identify efficiencies that will free human and financial resources to better support operational requirements.
Balancing Risk: The Tension Between Current and Future Demands
The Army is grateful for the support of the Congress, the President, the Department of Defense, and the American people as we fight the Global War on Terror. Continued support — financial and moral - is vital. This year, like previous years since September 11, the Army's base budget supports force generation and sustainment operations and the supplemental budget request supports wartime efforts. The combination of these spending measures is needed to enable the Army to:
- Recruit and retain the All-Volunteer Force and their families by enabling the establishment of equitable rotation plans and improving quality-of-life programs;
- Generate and sustain a force that is properly manned, trained and led, in order to prevail in the Global War on Terror, while sustaining other global commitments;
- Enhance Soldiers' ability to fight by rapidly spiraling promising technologies that are ready now into the Current Force; and
- Reset the force by repairing and recapitalizing equipment that is aging rapidly - far faster than projected - due to sustained combat operations in severe environmental conditions.
The scale and the pace of Army transformation is essential to improve the ability of American Soldiers to defeat adversaries who will pose complex, irregular challenges that are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and dangerous than those we now face.
Focusing Resources on Wartime Requirements: Major Decisions in 2004
The Army benefited from three major decisions in 2004, all providing resources to address immediate wartime needs. The Army also restructured or adjusted 126 programs. First, the Army cancelled the Comanche Program and reinvested the savings into other urgent aviation requirements. This decision enabled us to begin purchasing new airframes, fix many equipment shortfalls, enhance survivability, and begin modernizing our fleet. Second, we modified the schedule for fielding Future Combat Systems to put better capabilities into the hands of our fighting Soldiers. Third, Congress provided the authority to increase Active Component end strength by 30,000 Soldiers to support the war and the Army's conversion to modular formations.
Our Army at War - Relevant and Ready ... Today and Tomorrow
Our Nation remains at war. Soldiers understand their mission. They are well equipped and trained for the fight. They are well led by excellent leaders. Our transformation is already enhancing our capabilities today, while ensuring our preparedness for tomorrow. These efforts, however, will require full support of the base budget and supplemental.

It was fun seeing students from all the grades stopping at individual posters and checking them out...(I think they got a big kick out of my 10 yards of wrinkle cream that I use annually!) Just another fun way to use math to learn a little bit more about your students. I found out a lot about time my students spent doing chores, gaming, homework, and more!

Speckles:3rd Quarter 2010
Speckles is a simply amazing dog. Here at the Animal League we tend to say that very same thing about so many of the dogs in our care, but Speckles is undoubtedly a gem. Speckles is also a veteran of the Animal League's Sponsor Program. She has been in the program since 2005 and in our care since 2003. We couldn't be more proud at her progress and couldn't be more thankful to have the opportunity to care for her special-needs. Not to mention, Speckles is a beautiful black and white Pointer Muttigree™ (mixed breed dog). Her condition, Ciliary Dyskinesis, will be closely monitored for the rest of her life. At present, her chronic coughing and wheezing remains under control.

Berlin (AFP) Nov 24, 2010
Germany's top court on Wednesday upheld a two-year-old law placing sharp restrictions on the use of genetically modified crops, saying it protected the public from the risks of the technology.
The Federal Constitutional Court said that 2008 legislation requiring buffer zones between GM and conventional crops were justified due to the risk of "contamination" between the plants and open questions about the technology.
"The legislative branch is pursuing legitimate public welfare objectives and must be given generous room to implement state regulation in order to realise these objectives against the backdrop of the broad social and scientific debate about the use of genetic engineering," the court said.
The law mandates a 150-metre-wide (490-feet-wide) "protective zone" between GM crops and standard farmland and a 300-metre-wide gap next to organic crops.
GM fields must also be registered so any co-mingling can be traced back to the source and the responsible farmers can be held liable.
The law had been challenged by the rural eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt even before it was passed.
Environmental watchdog Greenpeace welcomed the ruling saying that a "risky technology such as genetic engineering cannot be forced on anyone".
"The decision confirms that there are dangers and risks associated with the seeding of GM plants," Stephanie Toewe of the group said in a statement.
A state secretary at the agriculture ministry, Robert Kloos, said the court's ruling "protects the population and the environment and allows for responsible use of GMOs," genetically modified organisms.
But the German Farmers' Association said upholding the principle of liability for any co-mingling presented "incalculable and uninsurable risks" for the sector and as a result, advised against planting GM crops.
The European Union has struggled to establish a unified line on GM, with two crops currently authorised -- a maize strain for animal feed and a potato for paper-making -- but decisions on another 15 are deadlocked.
Countries and regions have subsequently banned cultivation unilaterally, or declared themselves GM-free, with products containing traces blocked at ports.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, says such policies risk breaching World Trade Organization guidelines.

Seattle real estate spotlight, June 26, 2014
Updated mid-century modern in Magnolia
Updated 1:21 pm, Friday, June 27, 2014
Two weeks ago, we featured a mid-century home that maintained its character down to old wood kitchen cabinets, vintage bathroom tile, and a pink toilet and sink.
For those who found that a little too retro, here's a notable updated mid-century, 2350 26th Ave. W., in Magnolia.
The house was built in 1959 and is 3,250 square feet, with five bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, two fireplaces, a family room and bonus rooms, a deck and a patio on a 7,863-square-foot lot. It still features an original stone fireplace and entry, vaulted, beamed ceilings and wood walls. But a remodel opened walls, and overhauled the kitchen and bathrooms.
It's listed for $1.475 million.
Click through the gallery above for a virtual tour. If you like what you see, you can get a live look at the home during an open house scheduled for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Bring your earplugs.
Thin walls in my drab 70's style single room meant every step on the creaky floor and even conversation, of guests in room next to mine could be heard. Getting to sleep difficult as a result. Bed not uncomfortable but Pillows were hard. Furniture is Laminated chipboard, functional and no frills but just sad, the room's view of the bay It's only redeeming feature. I think the hosts were genuine and doing their best, they were friendly and obliging, as were all the staff (the non flushing toilet attended to straight away. As you would expect I suppose. When I asked for a plate for my room, was cheerfully given a plastic take away one). Maybe it was just that particular room ... Downstairs dining and lounge areas warm, colourful, inviting. Breakfast was good, with wide choice on offer. Not a keeper.

Extremely helpful staff spotless room excellent breakfast just what we wanted.
Nice place, shame about some of the other guests
Clean, comfortable, decent value for a late booking and welcoming - even did us breakfast early on a Sunday so we could eat something before our day's diving (which was appreciated).
Decent other faciities too with a bar, pool room and so on. Just unlikely for us I guess that it was a Saturday night 'over-enjoyed' by the drunken couple having an argument at 1am and the noisy (if happy) retunring Geordie's at 3am. Still, I'd stay again.

Cheap Hotel
Unfortunetly I didn't read the info properly and didn't realise the lift didn't go to the top floor.
The receptionist, seeing us, (we both have mobility problems) offered us a ground floor room without a view. Having looked at the pictures I was expecting a reasonable size room. The one we were offered was so small you couldn't open the door wide and the bathroom was tiny. There was also dust behind the curtains and on top of the doors. I got what I paid for. We didn't try the bar but used the pool table.

| As a scientist, I am gravely concerned about the ads promoting psychotropic drugs. At present time, there is not one shred of scientific evidence that supports the theory of the "chemically imbalanced brain". It is imperative that factual, scientifically validated information is disseminated to the American public. To allow the pharmaceutical companies to continue to perpetuate this fallacy is unconscionable. Thank you for attending to this most important matter. Dr. Jeanne M. Stolzer

On the facility's x-ray unit, the indication of the detector size and position options is projected onto the input surface of the compression paddle. However, when the paddle is moved up and down, the indicated detector size does not change with distance. Is this an acceptable indication under 900.12(b)(10)(ii)(A)?
Yes. The size and positions indicated at the input surface should be indicative of the size and positions of the detector in the plane of the detector. Compliance could be achieved by representations permanently marked on the paddles or by a projected image that approximates the size and position of the detector.

I Love Orchard CMS, And You Should Too
I have been playing with several CMS solutions in Azure Websites. For instance, I recently built a site for my son's high school football team using DNN. Lately I have been tinkering around with Orchard CMS. Simply put, I am in love.
Installing Orchard On Azure With WebMatrix 2
A while ago I wrote an Orchard Tutorial on installing Orchard CMS as an Azure Website. I showed how to create an Orchard Website using the Azure App Gallery and then import/export the publishing settings from Azure to WebMatrix and remotely connect to it. The process is really easy, but it takes 2 to 3 steps to complete. This process has been greatly simplified with new enhancements to both the Windows Azure Portal and WebMatrix 2!
WebMatrix 2 With Orchard Dashboard Links
Microsoft WebMatrix 2 was just released and now Orchard CMS Developers have the pleasure of Orchard CMS Dashboard Links and Buttons within WebMatrix 2. These features help one navigate to the Orchard Administration Dashboard, add Orchard Modules and Themes, and participate in the Orchard CMS Community!
Image Optimization And Compression In WebMatrix 2
Here is another WebMatrix Tutorial showcasing a really cool feature in the new WebMatrix 2- Image Optimization. Again, this is another feature of the OrangeBits Compiler Extension that has really stolen the show in WebMatrix 2. I already discussed the CoffeeScript, Less, Sass, and Scss Compilation; iPhone and iPad Emulators; JavaScript and CSS Minification; NuGet Gallery Integration; and Publishing Websites to Windows Azure to name just a few of the cool features in WebMatrix 2.
WebMatrix 2 Minify CSS And JavaScript
I have mentioned Microsoft WebMatrix 2 in a number of recent blog posts: WebMatrix Supports CoffeeScript, Less, Sass, and Scss, Creating Orchard Themes and Modules in WebMatrix 2, Download Orchard Modules and Themes via WebMatrix 2 Nuget Gallery, Mobile Web Development with WebMatrix 2 iPhone iPad and Windows Phone 7 Emulators, Installing Orchard CMS as an Azure Web Site. Now I want to mention the ability to minify CSS and JavaScript using Microsoft Webmatrix.
Creating Orchard Themes And Modules In WebMatrix 2
Microsoft recently released WebMatrix 2 RC which has numerous new features including code completion / intellisense. As an Orchard CMS Developer, I am excited about intellisense in WebMatrix to help with creating Orchard Themes and Modules. Although the release candidate does offer some code completion to make it easier to develop custom Orchard Themes and Modules in WebMatrix, the development experience is rather spotty at the moment.
Download Modules And Themes Via WebMatrix 2 NuGet Gallery
Microsoft had several important announcements this past week. The main announcements was the new and improved Windows Azure and its support for Web Sites. As an FYI, I created a quick tutorial on Installing Orchard CMS as an Azure Web Site. Another announcement was the release of WebMatrix 2 RC, which includes a lot of neat features including node.js support; HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, C#, and jQuery Code Completion; iPhone and Windows Phone Emulators, etc. I'll talk about those WebMatrix 2 features another time. Right now I wanted to mention the ability to download and install Orchard Modules and Themes via the WebMatrix 2 NuGet Gallery support!
Deploying An Orchard Site With WebMatrix To Shared Hosting
In a previous post, I discussed how to create and work with a CMS web site using WebMatrix. In this post, we will discuss how to deploy the website to a hosting account.
WebMatrix: Creating CMS Websites is Easy with the Orchard Template
WebMatrix is a free web development tool from Microsoft that includes everything you need for website development. Whether you are a hardcore developer or a novice developer, you can create a web application rather quickly and easily. Start from open source web applications, built-in web templates or just start writing code yourself. To begin, you can download and install it using Web Platform Installer. During the installation, a local web server IIS Express is also installed, which supports PHP applications.
Creating a new Orchard website using WebMatrix
Earlier we mentioned how one can use Microsoft's free web IDE, WebMatrix, to develop Orchard Websites. You will miss out on intellisense as well as some of your Visual Studio Productivity Tools, like JetBrains ReSharper, but other than that, creating and customizing Orchard Websites, Orchard Themes and Orchard Modules using WebMatrix is possible. In addition to developing Orchard Websites with WebMatrix, one can also download and install Orchard CMS right within WebMatrix using the Web Gallery!

Nicki Minaj's "The Boys": Listen Now!
Posted Thursday September 13, 2012 2:46 PM GMT
She's an endless source of creative goodness, and Nicki Minaj has just released a brand new song titled "The Boys."
The "Super Bass" songstress brought her gal pal Cassie along on the project to lend some of her sweet vocals to the recipe.
"The Boys" is included on Nicki's re-release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded called The Re-Up, a must for all true fans.
Earlier this week, Miss Minaj took to her Twitter page to tease fans with the one-word tweet, "Thursday," indicating that she had something special planned for today.

BAR HARBOR — Beverly Haskell takes everyday objects – plates and slates, an old wood ironing board, boxes and cutting boards – and turns them into charming works of art. The Hulls Cove resident is the Artist of the Month for February at the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor; her whimsical works are on display in the Gladys Franklin O'Neil Periodical Room through the end of the month.
Behold a steam train traversing the autumn-colored hills on wooden footstool. Check out the jaunty rooster strutting his stuff on a cutting board. Delicate flowers grace a red glass plate, and a decorative whale-topped weather vane beckons. It's folk art at its most fun.
"There are always so many things to do," says Beverly. She works mainly with acrylics on just about anything that will stay still long enough for her to paint it. "Tin is hard, wood is easy. Fabric, slate – you can paint anything."
Art has not been a lifelong pursuit for her, but it's a big part of Beverly's life now. She took it up about a decade ago after her husband passed away. "I was looking for something to do." She visited an Old Home Days festival in New Hampshire and was drawn to the type of art she does now. "It was primitive and I thought, 'Oh my, that's nice.'"
She took lessons and started practicing. "Sometimes you do something and it doesn't work," she says. But regardless of the results, she was enjoying herself, so she kept painting. She's a painter only, not a designer and happily purchases designs from other artists on which to wield her brush.
Of the pieces accompanying this article, the cutting board with the rooster on it was designed by Rosemary West, a Certified Decoration Artist(CDA)from Lubbock, Texas; the whale weather vane, the rustic whale sign, the cradle, and the painted stool shown here were designed by Cynthia Erekson of Quilted Acorn Shoppe in Newbury, Mass.; and the curlew on the slate was designed by Anne Hunter of The Creative Touch of Marlboro, Mass.
It's only been in the last few years that Beverly started selling pieces. Now she paints two to three days a week in a basement studio, and once a month with the Tole 'N' ME chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters in Bangor. "If you have an appointment, you can't go and paint for a few hours because you'll forget what you were going to do."
When she pulls herself away from the brushes, she likes spending time with her family, including two grandchildren. And she's dedicated to scouring yard sales for the next object of her artistic affection. She sells her pieces in various places, but her show at the Jesup is her first official solo exhibit.
"I just want people to look and enjoy it," she says.

Conceived as a YouTube experiment in which people from all around the world submitted footage of their day, the result is a documentary offering snapshots of the planet from a world of different perspectives.
Goats play a surprisingly large part in the world today. That's just one of the surprises in this portmanteau film, culled from 80,000 submissions from filmmakers all over the world, all shot on a single day in 2010. Covering everyday life from birth to death and from extreme poverty to Western decadence, this is mundane, tragic, moving and often very funny. It's also — in scenes of cattle slaughter and a fatal festival crush — sometimes shocking. In other words, much of human life is here, and if bits are significantly less attractive than other bits, that's to be expected. More disappointing is the relevant underrepresentation of women and certain geographical areas (much of Africa, for instance), but all credit to Macdonald and editor Joe Walker for crafting a coherent and wide-ranging portrait of humanity now.
Moving and insightful. Not a classic by any means, but a fascinating glimpse of the way we live today.

|A combination of second growth and retrospective oldgrowth sampling is being employed to collect baseline information on growth rates and mechanisms and patterns of regeneration throughout the range of CWHvh forest types. There are few second-growth, poor cedar hemlock stands available to sample and thus stem analysis of old-growth stands is required to establish baseline growth rates. We are focussing on the growth of regeneration under full light (recent clearcuts), partial light (old-growth canopy gaps, a few partial cuts) and full shade (old-growth) conditions. Within sample plots, the height, diameter, and rooting substrate of all trees, saplings, and seedlings is measured. Stem analysis is performed on trees and saplings.
For the high productivity forest, we will have a complete chronosequence, from plantation to old-growth, which establishes a baseline of regeneration and productivity for full light and partial light conditions. For the low productivity forests to the bog woodlands, we will have partial components of a chronosequence, lacking information on productivity and performance under plantation conditions. Growth for these missing components will be projected using the premise that the pattern of regeneration and productivity across the chronosequence in the high productivity forest will also be similar for the low productivity forests.
|Stem analysis sampling of old-growth forests at the Diana Lake, Smith Island and Oona River sites has been completed. Sampling of a 1975 partial cut in the nearby Lachmach drainage has also been completed. These data are being combined with samples from second growth study sites to better characterize the growth potential of these forests. Future sampling will be concentrated in second growth stands throughout the TSA.

Here's Another Reason Why The Government's Budget Deficit Figures Are Phony Baloney
There is so much in the government's official deficit figures that is phony it is hard to say what is real.
But we should add at least $89 billion to the official deficit figure. To see why, we need a bit of background.
The US government deficit is supposed to be running at around $1.2 trillion. But the government gets there by using accounting methods that would put private business executives in jail for fraud. The real deficit by different estimates should be multiples higher. This is already widely known.
It is also increasingly understood that the Fed is covering the deficit by creating new money out of thin air and using it to buy the government's bonds. What is not generally understood is that the Fed then posts "income" from the newly purchased bonds, uses some of it to cover its own expenses, which are not subject to Congressional oversight, and then remits the rest to the Treasury. The Treasury in turn can use this phony income to reduce the deficit.
Consider what has happened here. The government sells a bond to itself by selling it to the Fed. The Fed then "charges" the government interest. The interest is actually paid by borrowing more from the Fed, but nevertheless is booked as real Treasury income and used to "reduce" the deficit.
A Bloomberg article mentions in passing that the Fed sent $88.9 billion of this phony income to the Treasury in 2012. That is another $89 billion that should really be added to the deficit.
To put this $89 billion in perspective, it is much larger than the $62 billion per year in expected tax revenue from the new taxes on the rich ( those making over $400,000 a year) that were enacted in January with the "fiscal cliff" legislation.

By Tom Withers, AP Sports Writer
BEREA, Ohio Browns general manager Phil Savage methodically worked down his personal checklist, using most of an hour to perform a thorough dissection of his team's unexpected - some would say shocking - 3-3 start.
Savage discussed Romeo Crennel's calming influence, quarterback Derek Anderson's surprising emergence, wide receiver Braylon Edwards' new-found maturity and rookie QB Brady Quinn's patient wait.
Cleveland's defense will get better, Savage predicted.
For once, Savage, who in less than three years has gutted Cleveland's roster, wasn't dwelling on freak injuries, staph infections or the assorted gloom and doom that has hung above the Browns for years.
He talked football. Now there's a turnaround.
"We're not where we want to be," Savage conceded Thursday. "But we're better than where we were."
No doubt.
The Browns, who went 4-12 last season and have lost at least 10 games in each of the past four seasons, are on an upswing. And with a favorable schedule over the next 10 weeks, they have a legitimate shot of making the AFC playoffs, a concept that may have drawn uncontrollable laughter in certain company not long ago.
"I think a lot of people thought we'd be 0-6 or 1-5 or 2-4 at this point," Savage said. "Our players feel like they can walk on the field and win. That's a long way from where we used to be."
It's impossible to assess the Browns' recent progress without looking back a little.
Crennel's job appeared to be in serious jeopardy when his club opened the season with a 34-7 loss at home to Pittsburgh. It wasn't a game Cleveland was necessarily expected to win, but the Browns weren't even competitive.
They gave up five sacks on their first 15 plays, committed four penalties on the season's first punt - the snap was dropped - while looking disorganized and uninspired. Crennel's days appeared numbered.
But almost from the moment Savage boldly traded starting quarterback Charlie Frye two days after the Pittsburgh pummeling, the Browns have experienced a climb in the standings and in their confidence.
"I think we're showing some life," Savage said.
Much of the credit should go to Crennel, said Savage, the 42-year-old GM who came over from the Baltimore Ravens in 2005 not fully realizing the massive scope of the rebuilding project he faced.
In his fourth season, Crennel, who came over with five Super Bowl rings, has calmed Cleveland's stormy seas.
"He's the same man now that he was two years ago," Savage said. "He'll be the same man two years from now. I think if we'll just believe in what we're doing and maintain some continuity, then our players will have a chance to grow, develop and we'll have a chance to put some wins together.
"I think just the consistency of Romeo's demeanor, his attitude. Some people may term that as boring, but I think in a very volatile business it's actually a strength."
Even Savage couldn't have anticipated Anderson blossoming into one of the AFC's top-rated QBs. But behind a revamped offensive line giving him time, the 24-year-old has thrown 15 TD passes and nearly 1,500 yards for a Cleveland offense threatening to break every club record in the books.
Perhaps bigger, Anderson has allowed the Browns to keep Quinn safely on the sideline to watch and learn.
"I see it as a blessing," Savage said. "Some teams don't have one quarterback and we have two."
It could be a problem down the road, not unlike the one San Diego faced with Philip Rivers and Drew Brees. Quinn could see some playing time in the next 10 weeks, but Savage doesn't see it as vital for the former Notre Dame star's development.
"I don't know if it is or isn't. (As a rookie) Carson Palmer, I don't think played a snap. Daunte Culpepper didn't play a snap. Those are examples where it worked out for those players. I think Brady is anxious to play and would like to get out there. Maybe there will be some opportunities that present themselves in the second half of the year for him to get out there.
"But with as well as we have played offensively and as well as Derek has played, I'm not sure we really want to mess with that apple cart right now. It seems to be working and there's no real reason to change anything right now."

Heavy rain has caused flash flooding which is affecting several homes in Ceredigion.
Emergency services were called out after 20 homes and a pub in Cardigan were deluged – some by as much as three feet of water.
Other parts of the country were warned they could also be hit and drivers were urged to take extra care in hazardous conditions.
Environment Agency Wales also issued flood warnings for Mid and South Wales, saying Powys, Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Monmouthshire, Newport and Cardiff were all likely to be affected.
Properties at St Dogmaels Road, Castle Street, Caemorgan Road in Cardigan were badly hit at around 3pm when stream levels rose after heavy rain.
There were also reports that a pub was under two feet of water and emergency services were at the scene.
"The main concern is for flooding on roads from drains that are blocked by leaves," the agency said.
"Drivers are also being urged to take extra care as conditions are likely to be particularly hazardous.
"People are advised to keep an eye on the forecast, and listen to local news bulletins for details of any disruption in their area, including flood alerts in some areas, which could escalate to flood warnings."
Cardigan resident Sam Jones said she was trying to salvage furniture from her home which was swamped by water.
"We are totally devastated and all we can do at the moment is to try and salvage what we can," she said.
"I haven't seen how everyone else is doing because we are just trying to sort at what we can in our home."

CELEBRATION FOR THE WEST BERKELEY RAIL STOP AND TRANSIT PLAZACome celebrate art and community on Saturday, September 27
Berkeley, California (Monday, September 22, 2008) - The public is invited to the Celebration for the Public Art at the West Berkeley Train Stop, located under the overpass at University Ave and Fourth Street. The program will be on Saturday, September 27, 2008 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm on site. Artist John Wehrle painted large Indian Dancers and a Mural in collaboration with poet Betsy Davids and her poems of Welcoming and Departure.
There will be an opening by the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Indian Dancers followed by Mayor Tom Bates, the artist John Wehrle and poet Betsy David. Three figures from the mural will be honored at the event including Wavy Gravy who will be on hand to join the festivities. The Public Art installation commemorates the historic Native American settlements and shell mound of the area, creating an inviting "outdoor room" envisioned by the community and frequent users of bus and rail transit here. Ms David's poems are written above the columns and are seen by all coming and going on the train. The murals are complimented by interpretive panels illustrative of Ohlone settlement patterns around the bay and contemporary park resources provided by the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD).
This occasion also marks the grand opening of the Train Stop's eight electronic bike lockers, installed with the support Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTIA) Measure B funds.
The West Berkeley Rail Stop and Transit Plaza is located at the foot of University Avenue. Here a landscaped civic space with art was created in an area that for years was unpleasant and unattractive open space beneath the University Avenue overpass. New physical improvements have included widened sidewalks, street paving, new plantings and site furniture, information kiosks, maps, automatic ticket dispensers, and a steel and glass canopy for shelter from the elements.
The Public Art and Poetry was funded by the City of Berkeley 1.5% for Public Art Program that is managed through the Berkeley Redevelopment Agency in cooperation with the Berkeley Civic Arts Commission, The Federal Highway Administration, Capitol Corridor JPA and Caltrans supported the Agency investment in the Train Stop's hardscape improvements, completed in January 2006.
