In 2008, higher education in the countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) stands at a critically important threshold of challenge and change. The research commissioned by the Southern African Regional Universities Association (SARUA) and published in this volume presents a sobering picture of Southern African higher education. The data point to a profusion of areas of weakness, deterioration, neglect and even identify a vacuum within the higher education systems of the SADC countries. In comparison with higher education systems in the developed world, in the rest of the developing world and in other parts of Africa (e.g. North Africa) there are few areas of strength. Yet this assessment of higher education in Southern Africa cannot stop here. It provides a foundation for a fresh appraisal of how higher education can play its appropriate role in the development of the SADC region and surfaces the data required by SADC governments and higher education institutions to revitalise the planning and funding of this critical sector.

Cookbook Shelf {a furniture makeover}
Hi there! How was your weekend? 'Tis the season for our weekends to be dictated by football…and boy…there were a lot of ups and downs. We're Texas fans if that tells you anything. Wompwomp.
…But y'all know I'm squeezing projects in between football games! This weekend I finished up a cookbook shelf for my Momma.
The before of this guy was pretty sad. He had been used and abused. Beat up…and I'm pretty sure a cat got to him. However, this shelf has beautiful lines and details…and fits perfectly between the pantry and built in desk area in my parents' kitchen.
To start this makeover, I gave the entire shelf a good sanding and a coat of spray primer. It's always good to prime pieces that are older, made of dark wood, or sporting some battle wounds. It will help the paint go on much nicer. I used Rustoleum's Heirloom White {I love this white!}.
I am loving this shelf's new look! My favorite part of this cookbook shelf is the sides. The detailing reminds me of a stained glass window. Beautiful!
The crisp white makes my Mom's pretty things pop, and looks beautiful with the other colors in the kitchen. It is such a wonderful addition to have – being able to store her cookbooks in an easily accessible area and also have more room to display things that are special to my mom.
I'm so glad my Mom loves her new shelf! I can't get enough of doing projects for the people I love!
Have a great day!

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
If he is retching and foaming at the mouth, but unable to produce vomit, he may have a condition called Bloat or GDV. This is very, very serious, and requires immediate attention. Is his belly getting bigger?
If he is just nauseous and trying to vomit, that is not an emergency. He may have gotten some food he was not supposed to have, or not used to eating. Take away food and water for 4 hours, then gradually give water and food in small amounts as long as the vomiting does not continue. If the dog is still vomiting later tonight, bring him to the vet tomorrow.
If at anytime your dog is having trouble breathing, painful abdomen, or cannot vomit but keeps retching, or gets very lethargic, please get him to your vet ASAP.

The danger of privates, and composition vs. inheritance
The private variables debate is going around the PHP world again. Brandon Savage posted a pair of articles pointing out the perils of private variables, boiling down mostly to them making extension infesible or impossible. Anthony Ferrara replied with his own article, arguing that the real problem is using inheritance in the first place rather than composition. I figured I'd weigh in on my own blog rather than in a comment. :-)
As an academic matter, I agree with Anthony. Composition and interfaces are more flexible than inheritance. I've been preaching the interface gospel within Drupal almost as long as I've been preaching Dependency Injection.

A 2012 study from Massachusetts determines, "There is no evidence for a set of health effects from exposure to wind turbines that could be characterized as a 'Wind Turbine Syndrome.'" (Source: Massachusetts Departments of Environmental Protection, Public Health, http://1.usa.gov/zoZPdk)
Robert Dobie, a clinical professor of otolaryngology at both the University of Texas-San Antonio and the University of California, Davis, wrote a joint op-ed in the Oregonian with two other sound and health experts. He describes "Wind Turbine Syndrome" as "the discredited hypothesis of a single wind opponent, Nina Pierpont, whose self-published work has been widely criticized by sound experts." (Source: The Oregonian, http://bit.ly/e2mBAE)
Dr. Dobie, along with David M. Lipscomb, Ph.D and Robert J. McCunney, M.D. conclude in their op-ed, "While there are legitimate issues worth debating with regard to wind energy development, public health impacts are not among them." (Source: The Oregonian, http://bit.ly/e2mBAE)
A 2010 study from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council notes, "Dr. Pierpont's assertions are yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, and have been heavily criticized by acoustic specialists." (Source: Australia NHMRC, http://bit.ly/TUkVOS)
There are at least 17 reviews of the available evidence about wind farms and health. Simon Chapman, Professor of Public Health at University of Sydney, examined these reviews and concluded that "wind turbines can annoy a minority of people in their vicinity, but that there is no strong evidence that they make people ill." (Source: University of Sydney, http://bit.ly/A9N7bi)
A search for "wind turbine syndrome" in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health's 22 million citations for literature in the fields of biomedicine and health returns zero results. (Source: PubMed, NCIB, http://1.usa.gov/StdOO3)
No credible medical source has verified these affects, and sound experts have criticized such claims.
A review conducted by Dora Anne Mills, MD, MPH Maine CDC/DHHS for the state of Maine found "no evidence in peer-reviewed medical and public health literature of adverse health effects from the kinds of noise and vibrations heard by wind turbines other than occasional reports of annoyances, and these are mitigated or disappear with proper placement of the turbines from nearby residences." (Source: Maine Department of Health and Human Services, http://1.usa.gov/UCzfRg)
Wind turbine siting rules are specially designed to prevent annoyance from noise. For example, in Oregon, a new wind energy facility cannot increase outdoor hourly median sound levels by the greater of 36 dBA or 10 dBA over existing background levels. This is equivalent to the sound level of a quiet suburban nighttime. (Source: Oregon Public Health Division, http://1.usa.gov/S4P5Ci)

A single extra thread is noise.... The other thing this is doing, though, is having an impact on power usage, I think. Fedora is trying to identify things which wake the CPU in an effort to reduce power usage if possible. See for example: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.testers/50480 quoting: "One of the biggest power problems is apps that wake up the CPU unnecessarily. With the tickless kernel for x86 (and soon x86_64), every time this happens it's a chance for power savings lost. HOW YOU CAN HELP ---------------- We'd like to get as many reports of misbehaving apps as possible. 1) Install the 'powertop' package 2) Run it in a terminal window on a reasonably idle system with your normal combination of apps. (If you run it when you're actively compiling a kernel, watching a movie, or doing other CPU-intensive things, the results aren't as useful.) 3) Note the results..." and here are the results w/ xfs mounted: < Detailed C-state information is only available on Mobile CPUs (laptops) > P-states (frequencies) 2.21 Ghz 0.0% 2.00 Ghz 0.0% 1.80 Ghz 100.0% Wakeups-from-idle per second : 31.7 no ACPI power usage estimate available Top causes for wakeups: 37.0% ( 20.0) mount : xfs_mru_cache_create ... looks like having this running (note: i'm not using filestreams on this mounted filesystem) may be impacting the power usage of the CPU? Or maybe SGI doesn' care about that, if the goal is 100% utilization of these machines on altixes etc... but still - something to consider I think. Thanks, -Eric

Capitals right wing Alex Semin had a good series against the Boston Bruins. He scored three goals, two on the power play, and, though he took two penalties, for the most part he remained a disciplined player and limited his own turnovers.
Not so much in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Rangers. Semin committed two penalties and was on the ice for a goal against. And so, at a Sunday morning practice at Madison Square Garden in New York, he found himself skating on the fourth line. Washington coach Dale Hunter said he was just "mixing up the lines."
Not really. You don't drop a star offensive player down with the grinders on a lark. Hunter knows what he was doing. Whether he sticks with it for Game 2 on Monday night is another question. Hunter noted that Semin had those power-play goals against Boston and that he hit the post with a shot Saturday. And he hedged on the makeup of his third line. So maybe don't write this lineup in pen yet.
"You just can't retaliate," Hunter said when asked about Semin's slash of Rangers captain Ryan Callahan. "The ref, he called one. He could've easily called two. But that's the way it goes. It's up to their call and they get the final say on penalties."
Here were the lines at practice this morning:
That's a promotion to the third line for Joel Ward, the Game 7 hero against Boston, but keeps the character of that group intact. Troy Brouwer goes up top with Alex Ovechkin and Brooks Laich. The top two defense pairings remained the same – Karl Alzner, John Carlson and Roman Hamrlik, Mike Green – but Hunter put Jeff Schultz back with Dennis Wideman. That likely means John Erskine is out again – though Hunter wouldn't acknowledge that, either. Schultz played the first three games of the Boston series, Erskine took the next three. Schultz played Game 7 and Erskine was in the lineup against New York for Game 1 Saturday.

Kira Roessler (born June 12, 1962) is an American bass guitarist, singer, and Oscar and Emmy Award-winning dialogue editor. She is best known as the second bassist in the influential hardcore punk band Black Flag.
While sitting in with L.A. punk group DC3, members of Black Flag heard her playing, which led to her being asked to join Black Flag to replace founding member Chuck Dukowski. Roessler was majoring in applied engineering at UCLA, and Black Flag's subsequent tours were worked around her school schedule, which was a condition for her to join the band. Her bass playing was featured on five of Black Flag's studio albums. She remained in the band until completing touring behind their album In My Head in the autumn of 1985, then graduated from UCLA in 1986.
After Black Flag, she formed the two-bass duo Dos with Mike Watt (to whom she was married between 1987 and 1994). Dos occasionally record and perform to the present, with their most recent album being released in 2011. She wrote or co-wrote songs for what would be the Minutemen's final album, 3-Way Tie, and contributed lyrics to Watt's post-Minutemen band Firehose. She later contributed artwork to Watt's first solo album, Ball-Hog or Tugboat?.
Roessler now works as a dialogue editor on theatrical films in Los Angeles, sometimes credited under her full name, sometimes simply as kira. She has worked on productions including Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), and The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), and has also appeared onscreen in the documentaries We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen and American Hardcore. She won an Emmy for her work on the John Adams episode "Don't Tread on Me" and was nominated for her work on another episode of the series.[1] She appeared on the Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three tribute album in 2003 along with other musical artists, including other Black Flag veterans.
Most recently, Kira was involved in the sound editing team that won a 2016 Oscar for Mad Max: Fury Road.[2]

A workaround for duplicated posts
This could be a great plugin, if developers do some minor jobs.
I see this in another topic:
"During fetching, if the Plugin find the same Post than it breaks without to jump to the next one"
I checked the plugin, and when it loop through the items in the feed, if it found 1 duplicate, it jump out from the cycle, so if your first article is a duplicate, you lose, and items wont imported after that.
I also checked the count of max items should be fetch, and here are another error also. If you do not set anything for that field, or that limitation is zero, it break out from cycle too.
With 5 minutes work, i made my workaround, and now the plugin is working like a charm.
If you want to fix it do the following (i hope you will understand).
Open the campaign_fetch.php:
In the "private function processFeed" method, find the first foreach cycle:
Now i am working on the date of post, because that isn't correct too.
$simplepie = WPeMatico :: fetchFeed($feed, false, $this->campaign['campaign_max']); foreach ($simplepie->get_items() as $item) {
Right after the foreach line insert this line:
$duplicated = false;
Find these lines in this method:
trigger_error(__('Filtering duplicated posts.', WPeMatico :: TEXTDOMAIN), E_USER_NOTICE);
(These lines are appears two times).
And change it for this:
trigger_error(__('Filtering duplicated posts.', WPeMatico :: TEXTDOMAIN), E_USER_NOTICE); $duplicated = true; //By MEDIAFEST //break;
As you see, i inserted a new variable, called $duplicate at the begining of the cycle with a value false, and if the post is duplicated, i set it to true. Don't forget to comment out the "break;" line. Break command is jump out from cycle. This was why plugin stops at the firs duplicate article.
Ok, so now we know, this is a duplicate content, so add a new condition after the checkings of duplicates.
Find thees rows:
$count++; array_unshift($items, $item); // add at Post stack in correct order by date
What happens here? Incrase the count of valid items, and add this item to an array.
So, we should do it only if this item not a duplicated one.
So extend your code with this:
if (!$duplicated) { $count++; array_unshift($items, $item); // add at Post stack in correct order by date }
As you see, here are a new condition.
Ok, but we do not finish yet.
After this line, find this:
if ($count == $this->campaign['campaign_max']) {
and change it to this:
if ($this->campaign['campaign_max'] != 0 && $count == $this->campaign['campaign_max']) { //Do it only if campaing max != 0
We check, is the setting of $this->campaign['campaign_max'] is zero or not. So if we have not set this setting, or set it to zero, do this count check, otherwise do not care about it.
I hope i could help you guys.

Former Stampeder Joffrey Reynolds takes stand at assault trial
By KEVIN MARTIN, QMI Agency
CALGARY - The incident which left Joffrey Reynolds facing criminal charges was nothing more than a lover's spat, the former all-star running back testified Friday.
Reynolds, taking the witness stand in his own defence, said he never assaulted his ex-girlfriend in the manner she claimed.
And the Calgary Stampeders all-time leading rusher said he was living with the woman at the time, so he couldn't be guilty of breaking into her home.

Ah, for the good old days of bullies
It was 1956 when I, as an 8-year-old third-grader, marched out onto the football field to face the 10-year-old fifth-grade bully. He and I were surrounded by most every student in school to witness this event. When the dust settled he had a black eye and I had a new friend. The bully admired me for standing up to him whilst for the next two weeks everyone else admired his black eye.
Back then, for us young men facing up to a bully was a right of passage, a sort of responsibility.
These days you can't even find a bully. In their quest to pacify men, women have stolen that reality from us.
It seems that the more rights women receive, the fewer rights men are left with. Women's rights have become about raising boys to become like them, women.
Consequently, these days, it's hard to find a young man willing to accept responsibility or a challenge anywhere, anymore.
As an example, in youth sports, irresponsible, obese moms deliver their irresponsible, obese, spoiled brats to us coaches, and we are to turn them into sports stars.
Of course, these moms will not bring their obese brats to practice.
However, they will drop them off right at game time knowing that we coaches have to, by rule, play them.
I miss the days of bullies, challenges, responsibility and fat kids having to sit on the bench.

Junk science renders poll invalid
Re: "Majority favors legalization," April 5.
I really must take exception to the science and the conclusions in this article. Regardless of how one feels about legalizing marijuana, this article is so biased and inaccurate that the message to the public is unfair and misleading.
The article states that "for the first time in four decades" a majority favors legalizing marijuana. The Pew Research study referred to states where over 50 percent now are in favor.
This "research" involved a survey of 1,501 adults nationwide. Unless I have done my math incorrectly, this works out to about .006 percent of the adult population (those over 18) in the U.nited States.
I am a science teacher and to be honest with you, I point to research like this and refer to it as "junk science. "
The sampling of the population is so minuscule as to lend no validity to the conclusions made. When I read information such as this, I am always suspect as to the intentions and the honesty involved.
If someone has a valid argument, facts and thorough research will support the case.
When someone has to take shortcuts or give only part of the story, there is usually a reason.

Another handout we can't afford
What a sham!
The state of California just passed mammoth tax increases across the board. The state Legislature and Gov. Brown told Californians that our educational system was broke, and needed the tax increases to fend off fiscal disaster.
Now comes Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown with a spending bill taking our hard-earned tax money and allocating it to athletes, calling it a "stipend "? Let's call it what it really is - another handout!
Where do these state legislators come from, Disneyland? And who votes for an unbelievably ignorant legislator like Cheryl Brown?
Next time we visit the polls, remember the caliber of the "Cheryl Browns" when casting your vote for your state representative. It's important; they will they continue to spend us into oblivion.

"The toughest and best workout of my entire life. Period." – George S.
"Thank you so much O Course. I've never been pushed this far in any workout. Every time I thought "this is seriously it, I have no more, I can't" they would push me and I somehow found more. I can't wait to do this again."
– Vanessa P.
"As a crossfit athlete, I'm all about functional training. When I heard about The O Course, I was eager to try it and thought I'll be able to tackle it with ease. Boy was I wrong, The O Course really pushes you to a whole other level, it not only challenges you physically but mentally. I found the running was the toughest part for me so it made me realize what my strengths and weaknesses are. The instructors were very motivating and the energy was amazing. My friends and I all had an exhilarating time, thank you Sgt. Tony! We will be back next summer!"
– Bernard L.
"I did the Tough Mudder in Ohio last week and I have to say The O Course is a lot tougher. Tough Mudder is a lot more running in between the obstacles but The O Course takes it to a whole new level. Definitely doing this every week before my next Tough Mudder"

Dolphin Meat Hunting in Taiji, Japan
As the movie The Cove explains, the city of Taiji, Japan, is a huge contributor in Japan's killing of over 20,000 dolphins per year for their meat. This year, however, international pressure has accomplished something amazing: Taiji has thus far suspended their dolphin hunt due to bad press.
Probably the greatest reason for the suspension is the fact that the city of Broome, Taiji's sister city in Australia, has cut ties with Taiji due to the hunt. Unfortunately, Broome is considering reestablishing ties with Taiji today. If relations are reestablished, it may unfortunately result in Taiji resuming its dolphin hunt. Please tell Broome not to reestablish ties!
Message from Save Japan Dolphins Coalition director Richard O'Barry below:
An Urgent Alert for Dolphins
By Richard O'Barry
Campaign Director
Save Japan Dolphins Coalition
Dear Friends of Dolphins:
I need your help to stop the Broome Shire Council from backing down from their courageous action in suspendi their sister-city relationship with the town of Taiji.
Broome's Shire Council voted to cut ties with the remote fishing village after seeing the feature documentary "The Cove," which exposed Taiji's role in the yearly slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the shores of Japan. I personally thanked Broome for this action.
Now, under intense pressure from the Japanese government, the Shire Council of Broome is considering reversing its position. Don't let them do it!
Our sources indicate that the suspension is a key reason why the dolphin kills have been halted. If the Shire Council reverses, the killing is likely to resume. We need your help today as the hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Australia!
We were able to stop the dolphin slaughter at least temporarily — but
we must keep the pressure on!
Tell Broome: Stand strong against dolphin slaughter!
"We no longer enslave animals for food purposes." -Commander Riker, Star Trek

I doubt that Broome's cutting of ties had anything to do with the temporary suspension.
And it isn't pressure from Japan that has lead to the reconsideration, it is due to pressure from the citizens of Broome. The original decision was because of outside influences, the citizens that elect the council let their displeasure be know which has lead to todays meeting.
Also due to the time difference the meeting had already happened by the time this message was posted and it appears that Broome has unanimously reject the earlier resolution.

I see Broome has reversed that decision.Looks like I wont be heading back to Broome after all,no great loss,plenty of other places to spend holidays.

"20,000" is the number of dolphins killed not in the town of Taiji but across Japan. The above assertion by Richard O?Barry is showing clearly that the people who are protesting the hunt are so carelessness that they can't even deal with an accurate datum.

I cant believe how a relationship between sister cities could have anything to do with the harvesting of Dolphins. Ceasing a relationship isnt going to solve anything.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Got a new battery. Battery light comes on then goes off. Lights cut off then on on 1995 Ford Crown Victoria
95 Ford Crown Victoria. Battery light came on. Bought a new battery. After driving for awhile battery light cuts on and off. Radio, heater, and lights keep cuting on and off. When I step on the gas after sitting at a red light, the lights come back on then cut off. My car has not cut off yet. I also haven't had problems starting it yet sence the battery. Before the new battery when the car has been sitting for awhile I had to step on the gas so it wouldn't cut back off. Is this wiring, alternator, or something else?
| |
It sounds like you may have an internal alternator problem than in turn is causing the charge light to flicker. Check the connections at the battery and alternator to ensure they are clean and secure. If the light does come on with the engine running hand brake applied car in park, check the voltage across the battery it should be 14.7 volts approx if it is 12.6 volts or less the alternator is not charging ,strike the alternator if the voltage immediately raises toward 14.7 volts the alternator has an internal fault.
Thank you, it was the alternator. I got a used part and someone to fix it for $60. I also Have another question. Sometimes when I start the car I have to push on the gas so it wont cut off. What is that problem?
I have tried this. The alternator and battery have been replaced. The alernator is not charging the battery. Would you say this has to be wiring??
BAd alternator plug where it connects to the alternator the plastic one.

Julia Thatcher has prided herself on the time she has spent volunteering and the work she has done for the community.
As an outgoing senior, Thatcher, student body president for the Desert Vista High School student council, will cap off her final year with the 2012 President's Volunteer Service Award, which goes to American citizens who have a certain number of volunteer hours.
Thatcher has been involved in a number of volunteer projects both with her fellow students and at her church, the Phoenix First Assembly of God. She said there were two in particular that stuck out to her. The first was the Great Toy Giveaway for underprivileged children in the area.
"The excitement they had while waiting in line, they were giddy, was the best part," Thatcher said. "I like that I go to a church with people that are all about reaching out. There are so many people willing to help and I am glad I am a part of that."
Thatcher and her fellow classmates, with help from Mountain Pointe High School, brought in 20,000 box tops that were donated to Children's First Academy in Tempe. Through the Box Tops for Education program, the school turns them into money they can then use for school supplies.
"It's one of my favorites (charity) because you know it's making a difference and going to a good cause," Thatcher said.
After she graduates this year, Thatcher will go on to Arizona State University where she will look to major in broadcast journalism.
To date, the President's Council has partnered with more than 80 leadership organizations and more than 28,000 certifying organizations to bestow more than 1.5 million awards to the nation's deserving volunteers, according to the website, www.presidentialserviceawards.gov.
"It's an honor and it's exciting to get recognized for this," Thatcher said.

"I regret that Germaine won't be there and I'll miss her, but we disagree on our understanding of the situation."
Mr Florence said it was unlikely Nestle's sponsorship would affect levels of attendance.
Guests include former Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam.
Professor Greer was due to give a lecture on poetry and Mr Crace was set to talk about his novel, Being Dead.
The Nestle Smarties Book Prize, which is a sponsor for the first time, is supporting a children's event and is one of 98 sponsors involved in the 10-day festival held in the small Welsh border town of Hay-on-Wye.
The event's main sponsor is The Guardian newspaper.
A spokeswoman for Nestle said: "Nestle's commitment to children's fiction goes back over 17 years through the Nestle Smarties Book Prize.
"We are therefore pleased to be able to extend this commitment with the sponsorship of the Hay festival.
"We appreciate some of the authors feel strongly on the issue of infant formula, but we are sorry they are unable to discuss their concerns directly with us as we are always very willing to enter into debate on the subject.
"There have been a lot of changes to our marketing practices and the accusations against the company are years out of date.
"Nestle's marketing of infant formula in the developing world is fully in line with the WHO (World Health Organisation) code."
The festival runs from May 31 to June 9.

Pumpkin and chili prawns with Asian dressing
(6 servings)
700g of pumpkin
18 prawns
3 cups of small salad leaves
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of chili paste (Shan chili paste)
2 tablespoons of lime juice
1 tablespoon of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of jiggery, palm sugar or brown sugar
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Discard the seeds from the pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin into pieces 2cm thick and 5-6cm long without peeling the skin. Brush olive oil (1 tablespoon) on both sides of the pumpkin pieces and grill them by lying them on the rack above the gas flame. Turn to cook evenly. When they are soft and cooked through, remove them from the heat and allow to cool.
Prepare the dressing and set aside.
De-shell and de-vein the prawns, then use a knife to butterfly them. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a pan and fry the prawn for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, toss with 1 tablespoon of dressing to coat the prawn well, and set aside.
When the pumpkin and prawn have cooled down, place them in a large bowl along with the salad leaves. Sprinkle the remaining dressing over top and toss.
*Don't cut the pumpkin into pieces more than 2cm thick if you are grilling them. This thickness is easy to handle, and the pieces will cook through quickly.
*If you like feta cheese, you can add some pieces to the grilled pumpkin and rocket salad for added taste.
Next Week
Yummy pumpkin custards and more.

A vacant Deets Avenue home on Cambridge's South Side was destroyed by fire late Thursday night.
City firefighters were dispatched to the scene at approximately 11:20 p.m. after multiple 911 callers reported the blaze in the 800 block of Deets Avenue near South Eighth Street.
The house was reportedly engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters reportedly contained the flames while the fire burned out but the blaze was visible from various locations in the city for more than an hour.
Downed electric lines at the residence created a safety concern for firefighters and other emergency personnel.
The house was deemed a total loss.
Neither the cause nor a damage estimate were available as of press time.

Columbia, SC (CNSNews.com) - Republican presidential candidates criss-crossed South Carolina Saturday in a last minute attempt to win the support of the state's undecided voters.
Arizona Senator John McCain opened the day in Greenville at a meeting in a local Veterans of Foreign Wars post.
"When I am president, I swear to you that there will be no more 'food stamp' Army," said McCain, who has made appeals to South Carolina's large veteran population a cornerstone of his campaign.
Warm temperatures and sunny skies have raised expectations that voter turnout will be the highest ever for a Palmetto State presidential primary. Already, the South Carolina secretary of state reports that absentee ballots were cast at a rate 18 percent higher than normal.
McCain has told supporters throughout the state that he will win if voters turnout in record numbers.
"Whether you're a conservative, an independent, a Libertarian, a vegetarian, whomever - vote for me and I'll see those dreams are brought to reality," said McCain Friday night in an appearance at the College of Charleston.
Texas Gov. George W. Bush spent election day campaigning in the capital city of Columbia and upstate, where polls show that his support is highest.
"I like my chances," Bush told supporters in Columbia. "I like the enthusiasm I've seen for this campaign all across the state."
Bush's campaign is privately predicting a close victory.
"It won't be a big win, maybe two or three points. But, we'll take two or three point victories in every state if we have to," said one Bush campaign staff member to CNSNews.com.
Meanwhile, distant third-place candidate Alan Keyes has set up headquarters in Greenville in the northern part of the state.
"We've placed our trust in God, and we'll wait and see how things turn out," James Tucker, a Keyes volunteer from Anderson, S.C. told CNSNews.com.

Lindsay Lohan Was 10 Hours Late
Seen here riding the painkiller snake last night, Lindsay Lohan apparently was 10 hours late to the photo shoot featured on Bravo's Double Exposure last night. So, wait, the complete opposite of what Lindsay said was actually the truth? My whole world's turned upside down… E! News reports:
"She was 10 hours late," the insider insists. "The show has actually been nice to her and only has her being eight hours late."
In her most recent Twitter tirade, the embattled actress claims she was purposely given a wrong calltime for a photo shoot being filmed for the new reality show to make it look like she messed up.
However, our insider argues that she couldn't possibly have been set up because one of her handlers was captured on camera apologizing for Lohan's tardiness. "That would mean her people were in on it, too," the source said.
On top of that, E!'s source also pointed out fashion trade WWD reported back in September that Lindsay didn't show up until 8 p.m. for the 10 a.m. shoot. Of course none of that even matters because you could have videotaped evidence of Lindsay being told the exact time and place and she'd claim it was a stunt double. "That's clearly a 40-year-old chain-smoker pretending to be me. Nice try, you guys."

Texans Undefeated in Preseason
It was a night for the starters to play a little longer, but it was also a night for the backup quarterbacks to shine. The Houston Texans beat the Miami Dolphins 24-17 at Reliant Stadium to go 2-0 on the preseason.
Starting quarterback Matt Schaub threw a touchdown pass and an interception while playing most of the first quarter. Former University of Houston star Case Keenum relieved Schaub, throwing a touchdown pass of his own. TJ Yates also had a TD pass as the three quarterbacks combined for 326 yards passing.
Starters on both sides of the football should see more action next Sunday when the Texans host the New Orleans Saints. Kickoff is at 3:00pm.

I understand you met very shortly after arriving at McGill?
JB: First day, first class, first hour. I happened to come in the room by the wrong door at the front of the hall right next to the teacher. The class had already started, so I interrupted 300 students.
J: It wasn't exactly love at first sight! He looked like a ragamuffin, wearing rumpled old clothing. So I was staring at him, and he came and sat beside me because he thought I was someone else, and that's how we met.
I read that when you began living together, you used to switch languages every Monday morning. Does one language dominate now?
J: Well, we're living in Paris, so more of our life takes place now in French than in English. Our children are francophones who speak English. Jean and I interview and work in both languages. I write in French, he writes in English. Working in two languages all the time makes you relativistic about things. There are two sides to every story; we always know there's another way – an entirely different way – to look at a situation.
JB: You also have access to information first-hand. What we know about France doesn't come to us by translation from the Daily Mail or the Economist. What you read in the U.S. press on France essentially comes from Britain. The British and the Americans contaminate each other with their ideas because no one has access to that information directly. Languages are the real frontiers of the world today. People who are unilingual are living within a single country.
Your books require exhaustive research. How did you prepare for The Story of Spanish?
J: We picked the story of Spanish because we had already travelled a fair bit in Spanish-speaking countries and were attracted to the language. I had to learn Spanish to write the book, so I spent a lot of time in Mexico and then we moved to Phoenix, Arizona, for six months. We wanted to live in the U.S. to understand the dynamic of the audience we were writing for. That was just the greatest experience.
JB: What we do is the anthropology of a language. Linguistics is part of it, but languages don't spread because they are beautiful. They spread because of politics, of demographics, of their sociology. Considering the margins of that language is always fascinating, which is why we devote six or seven chapters to the United States. The U.S. is not officially a Spanish-speaking country, but there are more Spanish speakers [there] than in Spain.
Did anything surprise you as you learned about the language?
JB: One surprise for me was the dollar sign. During my first trip in Mexico I noticed that the symbol for peso is the dollar sign. I found it odd; why would they write peso with the dollar sign? But it's the other way around – the dollar uses the peso sign. In the colonial period there was so much silver coming out of Mexican and Peruvian mines, it became the petrodollar of the time. The Spanish dollar, or the "piece of eight," was the currency of reference when they created the U.S. dollar. And the New York Stock Exchange traded in eighths until 1997 because of the piece of eight.
How easy is it to turn all the research into a book?
J: The writing process is a lot harder, putting everything together from two perspectives.
We divide the material according to what we have more affinity with. We put it together in drafts, we edit, we tear it apart. The chapter on the influence of Arabic was very tough to get our heads around. It's practically another language you have to understand in order to understand Spanish.
JB: Julie's English is more idiomatic and a lot better than mine, so she's the one who does the final edits.
You've written histories of both French and Spanish. How do they compare?
J: One thing that fascinated me was how Spanish became defined with dictionaries much earlier than French. Another difference is the way they organized the languages internationally. French is considered the property of France; there is only one French academy. In Spanish you have this incredible sharing of the language between countries, because the size of the Spanish empire rendered Spain a small player in the Spanish world. That changes the way people think about the language, and who sets the standard for the language. The United States is part of that standard building now.
JB: French, like English, is much more of a world language than Spanish. The number of people who speak Spanish as a second language is a lot smaller than the number of people who have Spanish as a mother tongue. French is totally different. You have maybe 80 or 90 million people who learn French as a mother tongue, but three times more people who speak French as a second language.
Is there another "Story of" book in the works?
JB: We're writing another book on France right now, but we're also doing research for The Story of Arabic. There are a lot of Arab speakers in France and we're close to the Arab world. Getting to Mecca is a lot simpler from Paris.
J: My pet project is to do The Story of English, but our publisher is lukewarm about the idea.
JB: Having done so much research on Spanish, French and Arabic, we bring a perspective that not many people could. We think we'd really have something.

Option 2: Work with your local credit union. Have your lender give us a call if they need help establishing a value for a right hand drive. We'll be happy to answer their questions!
Why do your vehicles have such low mileage?
Jeep Cherokees: Each Jeep we sell is imported from Japan where they are used as personal-owner vehicles; they have never been used as work vehicles or mail delivery vehicles. Since it is so congested in Japan, most people take public transportation whenever possible. Not every Jeep in Japan has such low mileage; we just hand-pick the vehicles that meet our mileage and condition requirements.
Subaru Foresters: We scour the country for gently used Foresters that have below average miles and are in above average condition.
Why do you only import RHD Jeep Cherokees?
Each vehicle that gets imported back to the United States must be modified to meet all Federal DOT and EPA standards. Currently, the only right hand drive vehicle approved for import is the Jeep Cherokee.
Can you get newer Jeeps?
We currently sell 1994-1998 factory RHD Jeep Cherokees. We are only able to import this year range due to DOT and EPA requirements.
What kind of condition do your right-hand drive vehicles come in?
Pre-purchase Inspection:
Before we purchase any right hand drive vehicle in Japan and import them back to the U.S., we make sure that each vehicle meets the following standards: exterior condition must meet a standard of parking lot wear only, no accidents, no rust or corrosion, no major rips, stains, tears, or grime, and no major mechanical issues.
Mechanical Inspections and Service:
After the RHD vehicle arrives in the United States, it then goes through a series of inspections and services: non-mechanical inspection, road-tested by our ASE-certified master mechanic, mechanical inspection, final drive and inspection, modified to meet DOT/EPA standards, and detailed before it is delivered.
Are inspection reports available?
After the purchase of your vehicle, we can send you a copy of your Jeep's inspection report. If you have a specific question beforehand, feel free to ask and we will do our best to answer that for you.
Where are you located?
We are located in South Central Michigan in Michigan Center, off US Route 127 (Page Ave exit), near Jackson, roughly half way between Kalamazoo and Detroit.
Are the vehicles you have available located at your facility?
Not always. Because of the demand for RHD vehicles, we often offer a Jeep for reserve before it reaches us. Jeeps may be in transport to our facility. We test drive each vehicle we sell for at least 150 miles. Vehicles may be off site for a test drive.
Where do you find your RHD vehicles?
Each Jeep we sell is imported from Japan where every vehicle is RHD (just like the UK). Each Jeep we sell was also manufactured originally in the United States at the Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio. We are re-importing them back to the US. They have never been used as work vehicles or mail delivery vehicles, just as personal-owner vehicles.
We search the country for top quality, low mileage Subarus to use for our conversions. Before we purchase anything out of state, we hire a mechanic to inspect the vehicle.
What kind of price range do these vehicles sell for?
1994-1998 Jeep Cherokees are typically sold in the $10,900-$15,900 range.
2000-2005 Subaru Foresters are typically sold in the $17,000-$23,000 range.
Why are some vehicles not available until a later date?
We cannot meet the demand for RHD vehicles. We use a reserve system to sell vehicles that are in process.
Each Jeep goes through our import and federal regulation approval process. It can take up to three or four months from the time we acquire the Jeep in Japan until it is ready for sale in the United States. Click here to view our most current inventory.
Are there more right hand drive vehicles available other than those I see on your website?
Yes, to view other vehicles that will be available soon, sign up for our VIP preview list or contact us and we'll help you find a RHD vehicle.
What happens if I get a vehicle from you and it has an issue?
We go through a detailed inspection process to ensure the quality of what we sell. If, for any reason, you receive a vehicle from us that has an immediate issue, we ask that you contact us so we can work through the issue and get it resolved in a quick, fair manner.
If you have a problem in the future with the Jeep, we encourage you to contact us so we can provide best practices and repair tips to help you get back on the road quickly.
Where do I take my vehicle for warranty work?
We don't require you to bring the vehicle back to our facility for warranty repairs. We allow you to take it to your local mechanic where we will ask for an estimate to complete the repairs. Once we receive the estimate, we will compare with Mitchell's Labor Guide book and will pay up to $65.00 per hour for any covered repairs. Once approved, we send out a check to cover the repairs.

I decided this week that social media has jumped the shark.
It happened when I tweeted from the dentist's chair to announce I was in the dentist's chair. I thought, "This is something the world needs to know about." Strangely, the world was apathetic, and no conversations ensued.
The system failed. My tweet did not bring me closer to people who were also in dentist's chairs, or people who enjoy dentistry, or people who remember Bill Cosby's "loose lips" bit about trying to talk with a mouth full of novocaine.
Online marketing's demise can't be far behind, which kind of renders this week's Wrap-up pointless. Why should any of us read or write about copy or business when the New World Paradigm doesn't work for oral hygiene?

In order to receive my diploma from this fine educational institution, I was required to write a senior thesis. My thesis involved looking at persuasion in the context of evaluating presidential candidates. As a psychology major, I am very interested in human behavior. I also am interested in politics and that is why
chose to examine persuasion in a political context.
This research examined persuasion in the context of evaluating presidential candidates. Due to an overall decline in political activity in citizens (Iyengar, 1997), the process by which individuals choose a candidate is an interesting one. The hypothesis of this research was that, in the process of deciding which candidates to vote for, individuals would be more persuaded by stories that focused on the candidate's image, rather than the candidates' stand on issues. It was thought that because of a lack of political interest and knowledge among the participants, they would use heuristics, or engage in peripheral processing consistent with the Elaboration-Likelihood Model in evaluation of the stories instead of a more systematic, central route of evaluation. 16 undergraduates (11 females, 5 males) from a small Catholic college in New Hampshire participated in this study. The participants used a general political background questionnaire developed by Dalto and Ossoff (1994) in order to evaluate the participants' political knowledge, activity, interest, and media usage. Also used were two stories about two stories about a fictional presidential candidate, one that focused on image, and one that focused on an issue, gun control. The participants did not know these stories were about the same fictional candidate. Significant results were found. Consistent with the hypothesis, levels of political interest, knowledge, activity, and media use were low. The participants found the image article to be more persuasive also consistent with the hypothesis. Although the sample in this research was small, the results were consistent with previous research. This research would be useful for both the American voting public and politicians. Understanding the process of persuasion may help individuals make more informed decisions about their leaders.
Writing this thesis
was a good experience,
even though it was so stressful.
If I could tell future thesis writers anything it would be :

The 'Yeah!' hitmaker delivers his energetic moves when singing 'Scream' and seduces the crowd with a sexy performance when playing 'Climax'.
Usher was one of the stars who made merry "Saturday Night Live" over the Mother's Day weekend. The R&B singer performed two new songs, dance track "Scream" and sexy ballad "Climax", from his next studio installment "Looking 4 Myself" which is due in the U.S. on June 12.
This marked the third time Usher sang on "SNL". He said to the crowd, "We at it again, 'SNL,' and this time we going to make you scream." He pumped up the crowd with his uplifting beat and sleek moves in the first set before returning for a seductive performance of his slow jam.
In addition to having Usher as a musical guest, "SNL" also featured the likes of Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm and Michael Bolton among others. They assembled together in a sketch to celebrate the 100th edition of its digital short.

A perceived swing in favour of employees will be a key issue in the review of unfair dismissal laws under the Fair Work Act, according to employer lawyers.
But the confidence of the workforce is crucial for economic stability and the government cannot afford to limit workers' unfair dismissal rights any further, lawyers acting for employees said.
Employment lawyers from both sides of the political divide generally welcomed the government's approach to the review of unfair dismissal laws in a background paper published yesterday, but age-old tensions remain.
The paper showed unfair dismissal claims soared in the last financial year. Almost 13,000 applications were lodged compared with around 11,000 in 2009-10, although more than three-quarters were settled.
DibbsBarker employment law expert Paul Almond, who acts mostly for large businesses, said a critical issue missing from the paper was the need to look at the lack of financial penalties for employees who filed frivolous dismissal claims.
Employers are forced to pay their legal costs if they lose the cases but employees are not. "Employees can still push claims which are either very much borderline or completely unmeritorious, but still put the employer in a position where they still, in an economic sense, need to pay some money just to get rid of it," he said.
The background paper didn't raise the issue of income thresholds for claims, he said, an important question. "The legislation fails to take into account those types of employees where a substantial proportion of their income is actually bonus-based or incentive-based," he said.
The Fair Work Act stops staff earning more than a set figure ($118,100 indexed annually), from suing for unfair dismissal. But a case involving a Jenny Craig employee showed people could receive more than that through bonuses and still claim unfair dismissal, he said. This should be reviewed.
People+Culture Strategies managing principal Joydeep Hor said the review should consider greater codification of laws to make tribunal decisions clearer and more consistent. "There is a feeling a lot is dependent on the individual member of the tribunal that you draw," he said.
The background paper suggests 10 issues on unfair dismissal laws should be reconsidered.
They range from questions about the philosophy of the act, such as whether the laws strike the right balance between business and the workforce, to procedure, such as whether the emphasis on telephone over face-to-face conciliation is desirable.
The head of workplace relations at law firm Middletons, Alice DeBoos, said the telephone conciliation process had benefited business by making it easier for employers to refuse to pay unmeritorious claims because they avoided the emotional pressure that face-to-face meetings often created.
One of the key issues raised by the paper was the introduction of the "genuine redundancy" defence, she said. It required employers to consider all avenues of redeployment first, including those in related companies, which was problematic for large organisations whose entities "don't necessarily talk to each other".
The Queensland head of employment at plaintiff firm Maurice Blackburn, Terri Butler, said while there was always a balance to be struck between employer needs and employee job security, the current laws had this balance "pretty much right".

The buyer's high wore off pretty quickly when I realized I was going to have to get on an airplane in a matter of weeks. I always overlook this horrifying little tidbit when I go on vacation. I can't stand flying. Growing up it never bothered me, but a couple years ago on a flight to Boston I experienced the worst turbulence of my life, and it wrecked me for good. The flight had been smooth–almost too smooth, and I was just about to bite into my turkey sandwich and enjoy the inflight presentation of Beverly Hills Chihuahua...
That's when the pilot chimed in over the intercom.
Since then, I've never been comfortable flying. Once bitten, twice shy, three times a lady, etc. Now it's simply a struggle just to not have a nervous breakdown in the airport, so I try to keep myself occupied with little games. My favorite is Airport Bingo. It's a simple diversion. Before I get to the terminal, I construct a Bingo Card in my head of things one might see at an airport, and spend the time before my flight seeing how many points I can rack up. It's like people watching, only more judgmental.
See? Easy. It keeps my mind off having wild fantasies about flaming Beoing 757's crashing into the ocean.
Fortunately, my flight was smooth and uneventful, save for the overly talkative woman I was seated next to who insisted on gabbing to me about her planned "vision quest" in Oahu, whatever the hell that is. I fell asleep midway through her speech about the healing powers of crystals.
My first couple days on the island were spent in typical fashion: wandering around aimlessly, napping on the beach, and trying to avert my gaze from old dudes in speedos. I briefly considered filming a better ending to Lost on my camera phone (starring myself as every character) but I figured that would be too much work. Instead I opted for baking in the sun on a daily basis, waiting for the sweet, sweet melanoma to set in.
My vacation hit a slight rough patch around day four. To any future potential employers out there, let's just pretend this next bit is completely fabricated. To everyone else reading, let's take a moment and talk about drugs.
The friend I was staying with was, shall we say, a connoisseur of the ganja. One night he was getting stoned, and offered me some. It had been a few years, and I figured it couldn't hurt (which, come to think of it, is how the Tanner kids always got in trouble). Completely unaware of my own low tolerance, I took four giant rips off his bong, sat back, and waited. Nothing happened at first. And then a lot happened.
I began to feel panicky and paranoid. Then the walls started to move. Then the tunnel vision set in, and when I became convinced my friend had drugged me in order to harvest my organs, I figured it was time to lay down. I went into my friend's room, curled up in the fetal position on his bed, and laid there wide-eyed and terror-stricken in the dark. At one point I became convinced I wasn't even on a bed, but rather a giant, bloodthirsty forest animal.
This is the reality of what happened to me:
But this is how it felt:
I managed to fall asleep briefly, only to wake up shortly thereafter covered in sweat, and proceeded to search my body for mortal wounds because I was convinced my sweat was blood. I was fine the next morning, if not a little shaken up. "No more weed for a while," I promised myself. "Stick to black tar heroin from now on."
The next day, I decided some light reading at the beach was in order. I traveled to the bookstore in search of something I could finish in a day or two. Perhaps a paranormal teen romance, or something from Oprah's Book Club. I meandered up and down the aisles, waiting for something to catch my eye, and then, suddenly, there it was. The perfect book.
Could there be a more flawless literary selection than Goosebumps: Ghost Beach? Anything more divinely meta than reading Goosebumps: Ghost Beach on the fucking beach? That afternoon was spent in utter bliss as I casually flipped through my new book on a tacky tourist beach–even though by page 19 I'd figured out the twist ending was that everyone was a ghost.
By the time the sun was setting, I was all hopped up on shitty ghost stories and at least 14 shades darker than I'd been morning. I was Pantone 18-1242 (that's "Brown Patina" for the less graphically inclined). And what better place to show off a bitchin' new tan than the nearly pitch black dank of a dive bar?
Perhaps I hadn't learned my lesson against overindulging from my weed fiasco, because that night quickly got out of hand. I suppose I was excited to find the only bar on the island that served PBR, because I didn't monitor my alcohol intake very wisely. By 2 AM I was riding high on a malty, hoppy cloud of cheap beer, and I was ready to head home and pass out.
"Oh no," said my friend. "We're going dancing."
Well, shit. Little did I know that once the bars in Honolulu close, everyone floods to the one shady dance club to sweat out the Mai Tais and piña coladas. I was too drunk to argue, so I obliged. Fifteen minutes and one five dollar cover later, I was dancing up a storm amidst a group of other clammy drunks. Stumbling around on the dance floor, I sought out a dance partner for the evening, and settled upon a sleepy-eyed girl with frazzled hair and what I assumed was her mother. Sure enough, this assumption was confirmed when the girl slurred to me:
And with that, she lumbered off the dance floor, leaving me alone with her mom.
For a few minutes I danced awkwardly with the old broad, but it quickly became apparent that this lady was fucked. up. Hair mussed, eyes rolling back into her head, boob in danger of flopping out of her J.Crew cardigan––this gal was in rough shape. So I did what any standup gentleman would do. I left. I was barely keeping my own balance; I was in no condition to take care of an old lady jacked up on appletinis. After that, things started to get fuzzy, and I remember little between that point and waking up the next morning with the hangover of a lifetime. It was probably karma for leaving a poor old crone to die on the dance floor.
The final few days of my vacation were peaceful and relaxing, filled with swimming and hiking and shaking sand out of my nether regions. The only black spot on the whole affair was the faint, constant sound of Katy Perry being played everywhere I went. On the mainland, especially in Portland, I live a blissful existence free of Perry's warble, but she haunted my vacation relentlessly. It might've had something to do with the fact that I started every morning with coffee from the Starbucks next to the Honolulu Walmart.
The final charming surprise of my trip didn't occur until my return trip to Portland. I was sitting in the terminal waiting for the boarding announcement when a little girl approached me, unprovoked and unannounced.
"WATCH MY DANCE!" She announced, and proceeded to work it with such fierce determination I was afraid she might have an aneurism right in front of me.
At that point her mom shook a bag of Teddy Grahams at her and she immediately lost interest in dancing and scampered off.
Returning home with my batteries recharged and a complexion somewhere between Halle Berry and Denzel Washington, I took a moment to ponder my vacation. I don't remember how the Hawaii episode of Full House ended, but I'm sure somebody learned a valuable lesson and Danny Tanner had a heart-to-heart with one of his daughters (but probably not the middle one because she was off somewhere doing meth). I suppose the lessons I learned were to do drugs in moderation, and that drunk moms don't make good dancing partners. Not really family sitcom material, but hey, that's real life. Real life is full of drunk moms.

I found a small (approximately 5 mm) round, white pill in daughter's room. I can't seem to find what it is. Could it be some kind of pain medication? PLEASE HELP
Sounds like you found a Lorazepam 0.5mg tablet made by Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals. This a generic version of Ativan. It is a controlled substance used to treat anxiety.
Thank you very much for answering so fast. I really appreciate it. Now I've got a problem to deal with, a 14 year old with Ativan! Thanks again - Barb

The Academic Assistance Center (AAC)
The AAC, located in 208 Scarborough Library, has seen a steady increase in student visits leading up to and during the recent registration session. As was expected, there were a number of students showing an interest in the new 120 credit hour curriculum. The Graduate Assistants will be working with the Assistant Dean of Teaching and Learning, Dr. Warburton, to develop worksheets and tutorials for students to use with the on-line "What If Analysis" on RAIL once the 2011 catalog is available in July. In the meantime, please see our helpful guides that walk you through advising at this time of transition: http://www.shepherd.edu/advisement/
The semester has been a busy one from an advising point of view as many discussions centered around the best ways to help students navigate and understand the myriad of changes happening at Shepherd including the 120 credit hour graduation requirement, the new Core Curriculum, the new 15 week calendar, and the related changes in majors and minors. Students should meet with their primary academic advisor as well to discuss these changes.
Remember, Katie, Mike, Karen, Amelia and Courtney are always ready to help students develop plans and formulate questions in preparation for their meeting with their primary academic advisor.
The AAC will be open for business over the summer sessions (during library hours) to aid students with questions and will be preparing for an exciting fall semester.

When CKEDITOR runs security filters during the AJAX callback ckeditor_filter_xss(), it provides the currently selected text format as a string and not an object:
// ckeditor.page.inc, line 241:
$text = $filters[$name]['process callback']($text, $format_filters[$name], $_POST['input_format']);
// $_POST['input_format'] is a string, obviously, but should be an object.
This causes the "process callback" function to be incapable of determining the text format context, and prevents the filter from loading any per-format settings defined in the {filter} table. For example, HTMLPurifier's process callback:
function _htmlpurifier_process_text($text, $filter, $format, $langcode, $cache = TRUE) {
// ...
$config = _htmlpurifier_get_config($format->format);
Since $format isn't an object here, _htmlpurifier_get_config() returns the default configuration settings. If you've allowed any extra HTML elements, CSS classes, etc. for your text format, they will be filtered out and the resulting content when re-saved will lose this information. This isn't a problem with HTMLPurifier, since the spec for "process callback" defined $format as an object. CKEDITOR needs to pass the parameter in an equivalent manner. See hook_filter_FILTER_process.
This issue also exists in the current 7.x-1.x-dev branch, as of August 13, 2012.
Here's a fix for 7.x-1.9, and I've attached a patch for 7.x-1.x.
