The Oakland Raiders need quarterback Terrelle Pryor on the field as evidenced by the impact he has made on the offense in only three weeks. In the loss to the Denver Broncos, Pryor took a helmet to helmet hit from linebacker Wesley Woodyard that resulted in a concussion. Woodyard has faced no discipline by the NFL for the hit.
Since the game, Pryor has begun the NFL concussion protocol which consists of tests and various stages to clear before he can practice and play. He has not gotten the green light to practice yet, but was able to do light physical activity on the side at practice and attend meetings. After today's practice, he was headed to try and get cleared for practice Thursday.
"He has not been cleared to practice," Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said of Pryor. "As far as the steps are concerned with him, he's got to go through the protocol. He's got to be cleared to practice and then cleared to play in the game. We'll evaluate that as we go through the week and see where he's at tomorrow and see if he'll be available this weekend."
With Pryor recovering, Matt Flynn takes command of the first team offense. Flynn struggled in preseason and was eventually beaten out for the starting quarterback job by Pryor. He will be called upon if Pryor cannot overcome the concussion symptoms in time for Sunday's match-up with the Washington Redskins.
"I thought he had a good practice today," Allen said of Flynn. "I thought he threw the ball well, both short throws and deep throws. I have all the confidence in the world, as well as the players in the locker room, that if he's called upon to perform on Sunday that he'll do the job."
Two other Raiders players are dealing with concussions. Cornerback Tracy Porter was limited in practice as well as linebacker Sio Moore. Moore missed the Broncos game and Porter left that game. Both have been cleared to practice and have one final step to overcome in order to play.
Your man cave is your home field advantage for every game. When the game is on the line, you should be able to look around and be reminded of the great moments you've watched unfold in that very room! MJR Sports Integrity offers a wide range or team and player-specific memorabilia that can do just that and take your game day room to the next level. Find your inspiration at MJR Sports Integrity and will your team to victory!Tags: Dennis Allen, Denver Broncos, Football, Matt Flynn, NFL, Oakland, Oakland Raiders, Sio Moore, Tracy Porter, Wesley Woodyard

Not too long ago, GameSpot had an article showcasing an unlikely fighting game called My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic. I knew about this game long before GameSpot featured it, but I thought that getting exposure from a major website was a huge boon.Who would have thought that a fighting game about ponies would make it on the front page of one of the biggest video game sites in the world?In the article, there's a quote from Mane6 team member Jay Wright: "Hasbro has been very supportive of the creativity in the fan community, in all aspects. Plus, I think it helps that we're developing a game that would otherwise not exist at all."
I discovered that Hasbro sent a cease & desist letter to Mane6.What happened to the support?
Let me set things straight before I continue: Hasbro is completely within their rights to stop any and all content that infringe on their IP, whether it was intentional, non-intentional, for profit, or for non-profit.I'm not writing to complain about the C&D.I'm writing to question whether a C&D is an appropriate response when there could be an opportunity to generate more interest towards a brand.
Fan-made games getting a C&D is nothing new.Highly anticipated games get shut down all the time.Let's look at two popular fan games that got shut down, and I'll try to explain why it was a missed opportunity for the IP owners.
Streets of Rage Remake
Streets of Rage Remake is a remake of the famous Sega Genesis brawler series.The game was created by Bomber Games, a team based in Spain.SORR keeps the same basic story, where the goal is to take down Mr. X and his empire. But the remake includes remixed music, branching paths, new cutscenes, the return of Adam, and various game modes, such as volleyball (complete with the first stage music from Super Adventure Island!).The game also let you change certain mechanics; so if you prefer, say, SOR3's combo system instead of SOR2's, the option is present.You can see for yourself how much work and content went into creating SORR.Soon after Bomber Games completed the project, Sega sent their C&D letter.The only way to experience SORR now is if someone downloaded the game before it got taken down.If you know someone with the game, please check it out because the team did some amazing things with the series.
I wonder if there's anyone internally at Sega who played SORR in its entirety and thought "this is really good work!"When I learned of the C&D, I was baffled as to how a company can just shut something down without giving it a second thought.I'm no expert on law, but could Sega not have worked with Bomber Games to produce something official, instead of removing it from existence?I'm sure that Sega is aware that there are fans of their old IP; SORR is proof that, if Sega took the time, they might be able to turn interest into dollars. I would've paid for something like SORR, at least.
Chrono Resurrection
The termination of this game is well-known.I'm sure there are some people in a corner of the world who hate Square Enix to this day for handing out a C&D.I don't think I have to explain where Square Enix went wrong here.Oh wait...I just did.
Like I said, you have to wonder if anyone not from the legal department saw what fans were making and thought, "wow, this is some good work.I wonder if we could do something with this..."I feel that handing out a C&D isn't always appropriate, even though it's entirely a company's right to do so.Thankfully, there are some companies who let things slide; there are numerous Mario games that can be found if you look hard enough.One game in particular, Super Mario Bros. Crossover, is notable for having properties from multiple NES games, wide open for anyone to see.And then there's Mega Man, where you can practically stumble on a random 8-bit fan game.Actually, I'm glad I brought up Mega Man, because Capcom deserves mention for something they did that more companies should consider before handing out a C&D: endorsing a fan game.
Street Fighter x Mega Man: An Example Of An Alternative To The C&D
It's easy for a Mega Man fan like myself to get excited for a promising MM fan game, and SFxMM was no exception.But what surprised me was Capcom's active interest in the game.Normally, Capcom just turns a blind eye to the millions of MM fan games out there (I plan to make one myself!).I'd be surprised if they sent a C&D for any of them.But here we have a fan game that was endorsed by a company who could have easily shut down this game, but instead promoted it as part of their 25th Mega Man anniversary and released it as a free downloadable game.
Now, imagine what Sega or Square Enix could have done with the games that they shut down.They could have made a similar gesture and promoted SORR and Chrono Resurrection, giving their respective brands more awareness, and possibly generate active demand for a new game.That new demand would then turn into dollars.Capcom stressed that they wanted everyone to download SFxMM directly from their site instead of downloading it once and sharing the game with friends.Can you guess why?
Your Fans Love What You Do.Why Punish Their Expressions Of Love?
Going back to the MLP situation, it's kind of hard to believe now that Hasbro is supporting fan works when they decided to shut down Fighting is Magic.A common thread among C&Ds--and what bothers me most about them--is the timing in which they're sent.Hasbro knew about this game long before GameSpot featured it, so why did they wait until now to halt the project?I doubt they're planning on making a fighting game, but it's a safe bet that Fighting is Magic at least brought brand awareness to a community who would not have looked at MLP otherwise.Reports within the community suggest that Mane6 had a hit on their hands; even some of the show's voice actors played the game and were excited.Instead of running with the excitement (or "hype," as it's called in the fighting game community), Hasbro's legal team killed it.As I said before, I'm not a law expert, so maybe there's more to the issue than what I know, but from where I'm sitting, it doesn't make sense to stamp out potential gold mines, especially when there's no malicious intent.

Now I don't know how much I can tell you right now, but since the guys at Bacon Salt already told the Bacon Nation a few deals, I guess tell you a little more.
Denny's is planning something big with bacon. I still don't know all the details but what I do know is, there're flying Sean and I to the Denny's test kitchen and told us to come hungry.
That could only mean one thing, bacon!
When I was in High School Denny's was often my restaurant of choice. They were open late, and had a friendly wait staff (even to unruly high school kids). So when they told me they were flying me all expenses paid to the HQ I was pumped. It brought be back to my good childhood memories.
Make sure you follow me on twitter @MrBaconpants so you can stay up to date on the trip. We may get sometime to do a special Bacon LIVE podcast with one of the chiefs.
I would also like to disclose right now that, just because they are paying for me to fly down does not mean there are also paying for a glowing review. Sean and I have high expectation for bacon and we hope Denny's can met them. We also owe it to you, our readers, to always give you our honest opinions. We have a strict no selling out policy at Mr. Baconpants HQ.
We can't wait to enjoy bacon. This is going to be big!
Update: The Daily Bacon got wind to the new Baconalia menu form Denny's! Check it out!! I will be sure to share better photos and reviews ones I have them!
Second Update: I just found a better photo of them explaining the new Baconalia menu. Check it out here!

CORVALLIS, Ore. -
Men's Results in PDF Format
Women's Results in PDF Format
Juanita Rico led the way for the University of Wyoming golf program as she placed second in the combined men's and women's Giustina Memorial Classic in Corvallis, Ore. The tournament, hosted by Oregon State, concluded on Tuesday with the UW women finishing in third and the men tied for eighth.
Rico headed into the final round in second place and was able to hold on with her final round 76 (+4), giving her a three round total 223 (+7). This marks the best career tournament finish for Rico.
Rico was paired with Cowboy teammate Gabe Maier, who was the men's best finisher in the tournament. Maier tied for 14th with a three-round total of 217 (+1).
Two other Cowgirls finished in the top-15 of the tournament. Molly Black was 12th with a two day total of 231 (+15), while Sarah Fogerty was right on her heels with a 13th place total of 232 (+16).
As a team, the Cowgirls turned in a third place finish by shooting a final round 309 (+21). The Cowgirls finished with a three-round scorecard of 926 (+62). This marks their best finish this season.
The Cowboys closed out the tournament with a final round 299 (+11), to give them a three-round total of 899 (+35).
"Everyone stepped up when we needed it as a team," said Cowgirl head coach Josey Stender. "Not only was this tournament a nice boost for our morale, but gives us some confidence as we head into CU next week."
"Juanita did a great job and we are very proud of the way she led our school in this tournament," UW director of golf Joe Jensen said. "As a whole, the girls had a very good tournament and came away with a solid third place finish.
"This tournament was a neat experience having the men and women playing together. We have a tight knit group with both our teams spending a lot of time together, which I think was an advantage for us. I think the men really stepped up and helped the girls, knowing that they were in contention."
Oregon won the women's team title with a three-round scorecard of 896 (+32). Oregon State won the men's draw with a three-round total of 844 (-20).
Individually, Oregon's Kendra Little won the women's title with a 214 (-2). Washington State's Trent Sanders was the men's individual medalist with a total score of 207 (-9).
The Cowgirl golf team will return to action Oct. 5-6, as they head to the CU/Heather Farr Memorial in Erie, Colo. The Cowboys will get back on the course next Monday and Tuesday as they host the second annual University of Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate in Palm Desert, Calif.

From release
Patricia Moore-Pastides, cookbook author and the wife of University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides, is coming to Lancaster next month for a cooking demonstration and discussion of the Mediterranean diet.
The June 6 event will be at Springs Memorial Hospital and is jointly sponsored by the hospital and USC Lancaster. The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited and reservations are required. Call (803) 286-1685 by May 31 to make reservations.
The Kershaw Chamber of Commerce will kick off its annual two-day Spring-A-Thon in downtown Kershaw today, with oodles of family fun on tap.
There will be plenty to do with carnival and horse rides, inflatables, face painting, food and good music.
The affected streets in town will be blocked off at 5 p.m. today, and carnival rides will be set up on Cleveland Street.
KERSHAW – Spurred on by the closing of its competitor in Lancaster, Kershaw's town-owned bowling alley is raking in the revenue – exceeding its budget by 48 percent so far this fiscal year.
"It's a wonderful thing to see people enjoying themselves over there," said Kershaw Mayor Mark Dorman.
The town has operated the six-lane Kershaw Bowling Alley at Stevens Park since 2005, but this is the first time in many years that it has been in the black.
More than 600 people met Tuesday night in Indian Land to hear supporters and opponents of the Panhandle's two incorporation efforts explain their differences on the region's most contentious issue.
Taking the stage for the event at Transformation Church were members of the pro-Panhandle incorporation group Voters for a Town of Indian Land, the Incorporate Van Wyck Committee, and anti-incorporation group No Town of Indian Land.
The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is coming back to Lancaster County.
The goals of the program are to supplement the diets of low-income seniors with fresh, nutritious produce and to support South Carolina's small farmers.
The National Association of Letter Carriers will hold its annual Stamp Out Hunger! food drive May 13.
Nearly $3,000 raised across the community over the past month was delivered to Jim Burgess on Tuesday.
R.L. Parham and Burgess met in the front yard of his damaged home on S.C. 9, which was crushed by a huge oak tree during a storm April 6. Burgess' wife, Coleen, died in the wreckage that evening.
Parham handed Burgess a check for $2,871 and a $100 Visa gift card. Ryan's Tree Service and Bethany Presbyterian Church equally split the $1,000 to pay for the crane and tree removal.
Animal lovers raised $13,000 at The Ivy Place on Sunday in a fundraiser sponsored by the Sun City group Lancaster Animal Shelter Supporters.
More than 250 people attended the event, including county council members Larry Honeycutt, Terry Graham and Billy Mosteller.
Arlene McCarthy, LASS president, and cofounder Sue White shared the story of the group and how it grew in four years from two concerned women to a community of activism and inspiration.
The Lancaster County Animal Shelter has been shut down and quarantined, and it will accept no strays until further notice, County Administrator Steve Willis said Tuesday.
He said the shelter has been working for about two weeks to contain an outbreak of some undetermined respiratory virus, but has not been successful.
"We are closing the shelter, not taking any dogs or cats in and not letting any dogs or cats out," he said.
The city of Lancaster is losing its finance director in the middle of budget season, and Mayor John Howard is unhappy about that, calling the departure "devastating" and blaming it on petty squabbling by city council members.
James Absher Jr., who has been in the position since 2010, submitted his resignation May 3 in a letter to Howard, city council members and City Administrator Flip Hutfles. His last day is June 5.

Maureen Dowd Whines: 'Obama's So Hard to Mock and Marginalize'
July 16, 2008, 10:55 AM GMT
The New York Times' Amber Von Tussle is upset because Barack Obama isn't giving her enough snark material:
At first blush, it would seem to be a positive for Obama that he is hard to mock. But on second thought, is it another sign that he's trying so hard to be perfect that it's stultifying? Or that eight years of W. and Cheney have robbed Democratic voters of their sense of humor?
Certainly, as the potential first black president, and as a contender with tender experience, Obama must feel under strain to be serious.
But he does not want the "take†on him to become that he's so tightly wrapped, overcalculated and circumspect that he can't even allow anyone to make jokes about him, and that his supporters are so evangelical and eager for a champion to rescue America that their response to any razzing is a sanctimonious: Don't mess with our messiah!

2014 NHRA: Schumacher, Langdon, Crampton Among Quickest Top Fuel Drivers In Final Day Of Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals Testing
Posted by: newsla on Aug 22, 2014 - 06:54 AM
2014 NHRA: Schumacher, Langdon, Crampton Among Quickest Top Fuel Drivers In Final Day Of Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals Testing
Several Top Fuel drivers, including nine-time Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals winner Tony Schumacher, defending winner Shawn Langdon and noted rookie Richie Crampton, raced to impressive performances Thursday during the final day of testing at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
NHRA teams utilized the two-day open test to prepare for the world's most prestigious drag race, which will be held next weekend (Aug. 27-Sept. 1) at the famed NHRA-owned multi-purpose motorsports facility that sits just west of downtown Indianapolis. The tradition-rich event is the final race in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series regular season and will be televised by ESPN2 with more than 10 hours of coverage on Labor Day weekend. The event also will feature the lucrative Traxxas Nitro Shootout for Top Fuel and Funny Car and many special activities with the sportâs legendary drivers in celebration of the milestone 60th anniversary,
Tickets for the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals are available by calling (800) 884-NHRA (6472) or logging on to www.NHRATIX.com.
Schumacher posted the second-quickest run of the day with a performance of 3.810 seconds at 323.81 mph in his U.S. Army dragster. He comes to the Big Go this season looking to win the race for a record 10th time, which would break a tie for most wins he currently shares with Pro Stock legend Bob Glidden.
âWe donât test as much as we used to, most teams donât,â Schumacher said. âThere are a lot of new parts and pieces we have to get on the car that we have to try before the race weekend and qualifying. We also have the (Traxxas) Shootout as well. It is a huge weekend, we have a chance to do something that very few cars have had the chance to do and that is to win Indy 10 times. You want to make some good laps and know that you are coming in here comfortable with your tune up.â
Another Indy win would also give the seven-time world champ momentum heading into the Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship, NHRAâs playoffs. âThe Sargeâ has two victories and two No. 1 qualifying positions this season and is in fourth place in the points standings.
âWe have been coming on so strong and have such a great racecar and you know we keep saying we need one more run, one more run, and here we want to give ourselves four or five more runs to get what we need,â Schumacher said. âWeâre definitely leaving the test session comfortable coming back in a few days.â
Defending U.S. Nationals and Traxxas Nitro Shootout Top Fuel winner Langdon clocked a performance of 3.838 at 313.07 in his Al-Anabi Racing dragster and appears to be in good form heading into the event. He has one victory this season in five final round appearances and is in third place in the series standings.
"Last year we had such a great weekend winning everything there was," said Langdon, also the defending Top Fuel world champion. "But you can ask anybody, those weekends donât come by too often. You have to appreciate those weekends and we strive for those weekends like that, but at this point we will do the best job we can. We want to get back into the winner's circle and that paycheck for the Traxxas Shootout is nice as well so we are going to do the best job we can. The main thing is just getting this car ready for the Countdown and getting that big check at the end of the year."
Rookie driver Crampton was fourth in his GEICO/Lucas Oil dragster with a performance of 3.814 at 322.73 as he prepares for his first Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals as a driver.
"Everyone wants to win the U.S. Nationals and for most of us living here in Indiana now this is a hometown race," said Crampton, a native Australian who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2012. "It is the Big Go, it is the U.S. Nationals. It is at Lucas Oil Raceway so it is a home track for the Lucas Oil family. We definitely want to win this one. There are point implications going into the Countdown and there is also that $100,000 that Traxxas is putting up. This is the No. 1 on the list of races you want to win, and me as a rookie, Iâd love to win."
Al-Anabi Racing director of racing operations Brandon Bernstein got behind the wheel of Khalid alBalooshiâs dragster and posted the quickest performance of the day, a 3.801 second run at 299.26 mph. Billy Torrence was third overall with a 3.811 at 323.04 in his Capco Contractors machine, while Leah Pritchett posted her best effort of the test, a 3.858 at 310.63 in her Gumout/Dote Racing dragster.
Wednesday leader Matt Hagan continued to pace the Funny Car pack as he powered his Mopar Dodge Charger to run of 4.038 seconds at 316.75 mph. Tommy Johnson Jr. sped to the second-best time with a 4.042 at 317.19 in his Make-A-Wish Dodge and Jack Beckman was third in his Valvoline Dodge with a 4.164 at 264.96.

Woodbine's small school district has applied to the state to stop sending its high school students to Millville High School and instead send them to Middle Township High School in Cape May Court House.
Woodbine Superintendent Lynda Anderson-Towns said the plan would move the students closer to their Cape May County hometown and would save the district money on the tuition they pay to the high school district, which is located in Cumberland County. The move has the support of both high school districts.
"Millville has done a good job with our students," she said. "But Middle Township really is just a better fit for our students. It's smaller, and closer."
Middle Township High School has about 900 students. Millville has about 1,900 in the Senior High School and Memorial High School. Millville has been grappling with overcrowding, while Middle Township has seen shrinking enrollment from its other sending districts of Stone Harbor, Avalon and Dennis Township.
If approved in time, the eighth-graders who graduated this year will attend Middle Township High School in September. Students already attending Millville High School would continue there until graduation.
A state Department of Education spokesman said they are waiting for final documentation from Millville, and could not give an estimate on when a decision would be made.
The move would save Woodbine hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual tuition paid to the receiving district. Anderson-Towns said tuition to Millville is now about $14,000 per student, compared with about $10,000 per student to Middle Township.
Anderson-Towns said typically about 18 students are in the eighth-grade class, and about one-third attend the Cape May County Vocational High School in Cape May Court House. If approved, this year about a dozen Woodbine students would go to Middle Township, saving the district about $48,000. That is the equivalent of almost 3 cents on the school tax rate in Woodbine, where 1 cent per $100 of property valuation raises only $17,000.
"It's not a lot of money, but it's a lot to us," Anderson-Towns said. Once all four grades are at Middle Township, the savings could approach $200,000 per year.
Transportation costs also would be lower since Middle Township High School is only about 12 miles from Woodbine, while Millville High School is almost 20 miles away.
Anderson-Towns said the proximity would make it easier for students to participate in sports and extra-curricular activities. She said students already participate in sports teams throughout Cape May County, and could just continue on with the same children in high school.
Since both Middle Township and Millville have supported the change, school officials are hoping the approval process will go smoothly. The two primary factors considered when schools end a sending/receiving relationship are the financial impact, and the impact on the racial diversity of the schools. Because the enrollment from Woodbine is so small, the impact on racial diversity would be negligible.
Millville Superintendent David Gentile said the school board discussed the loss of revenue but decided that money is not a strong enough reason to deny Woodbine's request.
"Our board discussed their request fully and support the move as it appears to be in the best interest of the Woodbine community," Gentile said in an e-mail.
Middle Township Superintendent Michael Kopakowski said it just makes sense to have students attend a high school in their own area.
"Sometimes, our buses would ride by the students from Woodbine," he said. "We're already in that area."
Anderson-Towns said she has been working hard to improve test scores in Woodbine so there would not be a concern about the quality of the education students in Woodbine receive. Towns worked as an assistant principal in Middle Township, and Kopakowski said he is impressed with the work she is doing in Woodbine.
Middle Township High School staff has met with the potential students and are preparing preliminary schedules for them so they can make a smooth transition into the high school.
The proposed move has been discussed for decades, especially as tuition costs continued to rise. Residents have wondered how Woodbine students came to attend Millville High School in the first place.
Woodbine Mayor William Pikolycky said research he did for the town's centennial indicates that in the early 1900s, when Woodbine was a new Jewish settlement, Millville was the only district that would accept the Jewish students. He said Woodbine did have its own high school for a while, but that school closed after World War II and students returned to Millville.

The plan reportedly includes deployment of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 anti-ballistic missiles aimed at fending off North Korean missile attacks, and stationing of new "Stryker" brigades equipped with highly mobile armoured vehicles, anti-tank missiles and chemical and biological weapons defences.
The build-up comes on top of the deployment of B-1 and B-52 bombers in the Pacific island of Guam and six F-117A "Stealth" fighter-bombers in South Korea in recent months.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has meanwhile indicated his isolated Stalinist regime has stepped up conscription.
According to a North Korean radio account of Mr Kim's visit to a front-line army unit, he said a new ordinance on an "all-people military service system" had been adopted.
In separate meetings in Russia over recent days, the leaders of China, Japan and Russia have agreed on further efforts to bring North Korea and the US back to the table.
A delegation of six US congressmen was in Pyongyang on the weekend in an unofficial effort to restart dialogue. The group, led by the deputy chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, Curt Weldon, has met North Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun and Vice-Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan, as well as Choe Thae-bok, chairman of North Korea's legislature, the Supreme People's Assembly.

This article describes a sequence of steps which can be performed to quickly create a report that is well formatted, neat and presentable. While this tutorial is in significant detail, it should not take more than 10 minutes to perform these actions on a report (i.e. 10 minutes would be the time required to completely format a report.) At the end of it all, a few generally accepted formatting schemes are mentioned as guidelines
The following areas are addressed as part of this tutorial
-Text Formatting (Justifying Report Content)
-Adjusting Paragraph Spacing
-Utiling the Heading Style Buttons
-Adding Page Borders
-Header and Footer (With Report Title and Page No.)
-Adding a Table of Contents (Clickable)
-Adding a Cover Page
-Generally Accepted Formatting Schemes
Text Formatting (Justifying Report Content)
Select the entire content of the report. Remove the different spacing styles by clicking on the "No Spacing" icon amongst the heading styles as indicated below. Then select all the text and click on the "Justify" icon in the toolbar or use the shortcut "Ctrl + J"
Adjusting Paragraph Spacing
Select the entire content of the report. Adjust Paragraph Spacing by opening the "Paragraph" dialog box. Change the "Line Spacing" dropdown box as required. (Normally, a line spacing of 1.5 is used in most reports). Screenshots are indicated below
Utilizing the Heading Style Buttons
Many people do not realize the power of the "Heading Style Buttons" which are available in Microsoft Word. These buttons can be pre-formatted with a specific heading style which can then be applied to all headings by just selecting the heading and clicking on the button. Heading Styles 1, 2 and 3 can be utilized for section headings, topics and sub-topics respectively. This helps ensure consistency and uniformity in the formatting styles used in the report. Further this can also be utilized to generate a "clickable" table of contents.
-In order to set the format of a heading style, right click the "Heading Style Button" and click on
-Modify the style as required using the available options and click on "OK".
-Now, to apply this style to any heading, just select the heading (or leave the cursor on the
heading) and click on the "Heading Style Button".
Adding Page Borders
Select the entire report. Click on "Page Layout". Click on "Page Borders". Select a suitable style and click "OK". Screenshots are indicated below.
Header and Footer (With Report Title and Page No.)
-In order to add the Header, click on "Insert>Header". Choose a style as appropriate and add text
(e.g. Report Title, Section Title, Author's Name etc.)
-In order to add a Footer, click on "Insert>Footer". Choose a style as appropriate and add text
-In order to add Page Numbers, Click on "Insert>Page Numbers" and choose where to display the
Page Number. The page numbers can be formatted as required.
-In order to prevent the First Page from displaying the Header, Footer and Page Numbers click on the
option "Different First Page" while adding these. This ensures that the first page can be used for the
Cover Page without any of these being displayed.
Adding a Table of Contents
In order to add a table of contents, click on "References>Table of Contents" and choose a style as required. This adds a table of contents (Toc) with "clickable links". Use "Ctrl + Click" to to navigate to a section of the report from the ToC.
Whenever any changes are made to the report, as a precaution before saving the report, right click the ToC and select "Update Field". If only content is moved across pages, then update page numbers alone should suffice. Otherwise, update the entire table.
Adding a Cover Page
-One can either use a prexisting style for the Cover Page from within Word or design the cover
page on their own.
-In order to use an existing style, click on "Insert> Cover Page" and choose a suitable style.
Generally Accepted Formatting Schemes
-Times New Roman, Regular Text Font Size 12, Heading Text Font Size 16, Line Spacing 1.5
-Arial, Regular TextFont Size 11, Heading Text Font Size 15, Line Spacing 1.15
-Calibri, Regular Text Font Size 11, Heading Text Font Size 14, Line Spacing 1.1
Additional Tips
-Using Heading Text Styles will reduce the amount of effort which goes into formatting the
headings while simultaneously ensuring consistency and uniformity.
-Adding a Clickable Index will add structure to your report and help provide easier access to
information available in long reports
-Adding a Thick Page Border will make a report look more presentable, especially if it is being
utilized in a soft copy format.

Rosie Pope's reality series Pregnant in Heels features some very demanding Manhattan moms and their very specific gestational needs. And it earned its very own Saturday Night Live spoof, featuring Tina Fey as a client who doesn't want to cut her umbilical cord because she might return the baby.
"I loved it. Honestly, it's one of the greatest honors of my career," says Pope, a New York-based pregnancy concierge.
Pope has teamed up with Pampers to promote the brand's Limited Edition Prints diapers. She jokes that she won't potty-train her own two sons "because diapers are very convenient for me."
As for her show, Pope doesn't know if Bravo will order a second season. "We'll find out soon," she says. "The show is going well. The couples are all real clients and everything they ask me to do is their idea."
Yes, she's referring to the pregnant bride having a meltdown, or the couple using a focus group to name their son.

LONDON (Reuters) - A mishandled reform of the health system has set doctors and health unions against the government over fears that plans to boost access for private companies will destabilise the cherished service.
The reforms include sacking thousands of health administrators and putting family doctors in charge of spending 60 billion pounds of the NHS budget in a turnaround so large that the service's chief executive says it can be seen "from outer space."
Ministers say concerns are unfounded, but medics are so worried they have urged peers in the Lords to throw out proposals for a complex reorganisation of England's National Health Service (NHS) in a vote on Wednesday.
"The (Health and Social Care) Bill as it currently stands poses an unacceptably high risk to the NHS," the doctor's union the British Medical Association told members of the Lords.
The controversy threatens to undermine Prime Minister David Cameron's attempts to recast his Conservative party as a friend to the NHS after years of voter mistrust.
Opponents say the government has no mandate for the changes it wants to bring to the health service, a vast organisation founded in 1948 that is Europe's biggest employer and has an annual budget of over 100 billion pounds.
They said the proposals were not included in Conservative manifesto pledges ahead of the 2010 election that brought the party to power in coalition with the smaller Liberal Democrats.
"People did not expect, did not vote for and do not want these changes. The government was not elected to do this. They do not have the electorate's mandate," Labour politician Baroness Thornton said at the opening of two days of debate on Tuesday.
If the Lords reject the bill the government would either have to abandon its plans altogether or restart the legislation from scratch next year, adding further hold-ups to the already delayed reforms.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley accuses opposition politicians and unions of spreading "misinterpretation, misinformation and misrepresentation" about his proposals to improve efficiency and quality of care.
The government has ring-fenced the health service from steep spending cuts in other state departments to reduce a record national budget deficit.
But the NHS remains under financial pressure on a flat budget as it tries to find 20 billion pounds of efficiency savings to pay for the rising healthcare needs of an ageing population and patients' demands for expensive new treatments.
The government has revised the plans once this summer, submitting more than a 1,000 amendments to the legislation in a humiliating climb-down after failing to convince the medical profession its proposals were workable.
But doubts remain and hundreds of leading clinicians have signed letters to newspapers calling for a rethink on the plans, while members of the coalition's Liberal Democrats are threatening to rebel over the legislation.
Wider public concern over the plans has seen marches in defence of the NHS and on Sunday more than 2,000 protesters blocked Westminster Bridge next to the parliament buildings.
Even private health companies -- seen by some as beneficiaries from the changes -- have joined the criticism, saying the government was naive to think it could push through reforms dependent on the support of the medical profession.
"The reaction to the bill and the way it has been managed politically ... has been such that the likely involvement of the private sector is at best static at the moment," said Matt James, of the Private Hospitals Alliance.

In-Reply-To: <002401c42a6e$100b1f30$a8790650@packard>
Parish Registers are the property of each church Colleen, it's not just a
case of copying them into a medium to make them available, or like census
records which are not copyrightable anyway and so can be freely used.
Baptisms, Burials and marriages were the work & services provided by each
vicar, whereas birth, death dates etc were natural acts and records are
publicly available.
I know, at the expense of my patience (!) how long it takes to obtain parish
permissions to use register data. It can go on for months, involving
diocesan offices, many letters between them, vicars, records offices etc.
It's been what I'd call a "learning experience"! Some church incumbents have
no issue with it, others do..and you have to respect that, which is why on
my own site I've had to restrict the search mechanisms on some parish
records data to disable anyone from being able to reconstruct chunks of the
original registers or the original sequence in any way. Where I've been
unable to obtain full permissions - and having taken guidance from the vicar
and records offices in each case - the only way to do it until the vicar
relents ( or a new one takes over and may have a different view!) is to
restrict a screen display to one surname at a time: thus not enabling
original sequences of entries to be shown but at least allow researchers to
look at a family name and all records pertaining to it.
I bet the wonderful Rod would love to do as you suggest but it is an
enormous task- the bulk of which would be to get all Essex clergy to agree
on a format and what they were happy with....

Do other listers think there will ever be a big enough market to make
copying these registers a worthwhile project for, say, Archive CD books? I'd
buy them! But how many others would?

Chinese Lit in the World
Instructor: Angie Chau
This course is a survey of contemporary Chinese literature that appears commonly under the category of world literature. We will begin with a discussion of China's relationship with the Nobel Prize in literature, including the work of Nobel laureates Gao Xingjian (2000) and Mo Yan (2012). The fiction of Su Tong and Yu Hua similarly address themes of human despair, political violence, and tragedy, but they approach historical representation using their own unique techniques of formal experimentation and narrative style. In the second half of the quarter we take a step back from the mainstream masculinist mode of (his)storytelling to read works about urbanism and female sexuality in novels by Wang Anyi and Chen Ran, and non-Chinese novels written by Chinese writers living outside of China, such as Dai Sijie and Ha Jin. Throughout the course we will also engage with film adaptations, newspaper articles, and critical essays, in an effort to define the label of "world literature," and to reflect on the issue of translation, such as who determines which texts "get" to be translated into English, and how these kinds of decisions are made. Central to our investigation will be the question of how useful keywords such as popular culture, modernism, world literature, cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism, and globalization are to the study of contemporary Chinese literature.

Destination and renaming of uploaded files
- Posted by thomasw at 23:45:09 // //
- Announcements, Filter
Hy insterested ones,
I added for you two new improvements to Zend_File_Transfer or if you work with Forms, to the file element.
The first one is that Zend_File_Transfer allows now the usage of file filters. Note that, of course, file filters work differently to normal string filters. They do not return the content, but the location of the file, aka the real location and filename. It should also be noted that file filters will be attached AFTER the file has been received. This is due to the fact that we are not allowed to change the file before it has been received, as we would then get a attacker exception from PHP itself. Input elements, for example, will do filtering before validation. File elements will always do validation and afterwards filtering. So you could now add your own filters if you are in need. Or you wait for me to do this.
The second improvement is the first file filter.
I am happy to announce that the "Rename" filter is ready in core.
What can it do ?
Well, it will allow you to have much more influence of the behaviour of uploaded files.
Let's see an example:
$filter = new Zend_Filter_File_Rename('C:picturesnewpics', true);
or when you use the adapter
$adapter->addFilter('Rename', array('C:picturesnewpics', true));
All uploads will now be moved to the directory C:picturesnewpics and will be overwritten if they exist.
The default is false, which means that the filter will not overwrite existing files. Beware: If the file exists, you will get a false as soon as you receive the file with an error, that the file already exists if you do not set the overwrite property.
Of course the rename adapter allows much more.
You can define the location for each single file separatly.
You can even define a new filename and extension for the uploaded file.
$adapter->addFilter('Rename', 'C:picturesnewname.txt');
For more details about supported notations look into the manual.
I hope you find this addition usefull and use it in your own projects.
PS: If you have a good idea for a additional feature to any of my components dont be shy and share your idea.

Thank you so much for adding this! Just what I needed for my new project :)
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 - 14:11:42
When dealing with file uploads, I've found it to be desirable to store the file in an unadulterated state, so to retain the possible semantic qualities that the file name holds. Obviously, storing several files with the same name in the same directory is impossible. I solve this my storing duplicate file names in incremented sub-directories.
eg. image.jpg would be stored as /path/to/uploads/image.jpg, however, a file of the same name, uploaded at a later time, would be stored in /path/to/uploads/0/image.jpg and so on.
Additionally, I also disperse my uploaded files in sub-directories according to the first and (optionally) second characters of the file name. Such as: /path/to/uploads/i/m/image.jpg.
These are just my methods, and I've had several discussions with colleagues as to optimal storage strategies. I suppose it leaves a lot open to question, but perhaps that is something for you to think about.
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 - 17:53:54
Generally, creating subdirectories is no good idea. Keep in mind that Zend_File_Translate is not only working on HTTP and of course not only on the local machine.
When we have 100 files of the same name, and have to create 100 different subdirectories it would really be a big performance problem.
When would be possible is to define alternate targets… when the same file exists in target 1 it will be stored in target 2 (directory).
Anyhow… Zend_File_Transfer should (and will for now) not add subdirectories at a location.
Friday, September 12, 2008 - 20:27:50
I don't see why the protocol used to transfer the file to the server has any baring on creating sub directories. Surely if you have permission to rename files on the server, you also have permission to create a directory in the same location.
Granted, when there are many files uploaded with the same name, you incur a deficit on performance. Although, this can be reduced by indexing the uploaded files and determining the destination directory of any newly uploaded files from the index.
Having several targets sounds like a finite solution, where as if you have the ability to create directories, you would never run into the issue of overwriting files that you didn't intend to overwrite.
I should mention that I don't believe this is an optimised solution, it's just a method for handling file uploads without the need for renaming. This, I feel, is something clients (in my experience anyway) appreciate, and is quickly deployable.
In a large scale solution, then I would want to rename the file to some unique index, and store in a directory, until that directory reaches it's optimal capacity (dependent on the system); at which point, the storage target would change to a new directory. These files would then be cataloged in a database. I'd also (possibly) be tempted to rename the files as they are returned to the end user, according to their original filename, to retain any useful quality the filename contains (although I've never tried to do this).
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 09:23:26
The problem with using filters is that very often a file name is formed in the action script after processing other POST variables (e.g. a new row to the db is added and the file name should contain the id of that row). In this situation the whole potential of the file transfer filters becomes completely useless…
Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 10:02:58
I dont get the point.
Because you want to change the filename afterwards manually, we should not add filters at all ?
I am working on filters which change imagesize, add watermarks, compress files and so on… and all this should be throwed away ?
Sorry, but I think this is like break a fly on the wheel. Completly nonsense. And many people find this feature more than usefull, they are in need of it.
Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 11:10:12
Oh, no, that's not what I meant!
I am really very grateful for your work, find this filters very useful, and almost all of them announced in the issue tracker could be applied in some of my projects, so I'm looking forward to see them in action.
But the problem is that their applicability is limited with the cases where their behaviour is independent from the other fields of the form, if I correctly understand the way they work. Probably there is a way to improve their functionality adding some kind of parameters which could be assigned during the processing of the form?
And I want to apologize once more if I offended you… That's absolutely not what I wanted to do.
Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 12:14:41
You have not offended me. There are always people which have a different opinion… this would not have stopped me to develop this new filters. :-)
Actually, what you need is already supported.
You can add filters and validators any time… this is not limited to the form creation. When you add your form, for example and then validate it. When the validation is done, your form is already submitted and in processing state. Now you could add new filters after validation.
Keep in mind, or read in the manual, that file filters are applied "after the file was received" due to the fact that files can not be manipulated, but read, while they stay in the temporary cache of php.
Of course you can also use the file filters manually everywhere in your code. See the unittests for how ot do this. But alone, they are not as comfortable as in combination with the file transfer component.
Anyhow, this is already supported.
Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 21:58:57
I'm looking for a way to convert the name of the uploaded file to lowercase.
Straight in PHP that would be done by changing the $_FILES[0]['name'] value before performing move_uploaded_file to avoid another call to rename().
Do you think something like this will be possible?
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 17:35:27
At first, thanks for this very necessary update of this Plugin & filter.
But: If I'm not wrong, the $adapter requires a destination for the file via setDestination(), then if we want to move (rename, in fact) the uploaded file, it requires to use the 'Rename' filter, right? If this is true, then the file is always first moved to the first destination (setDestination()) then moved to the second via the filter… What if two uploads occur at the same time, with the same file names? Since setDestination() only accepts a directory, the files will override each other in the first step… If I'm not wrong…
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 20:15:43
Wrong assumption in both cases.
You are not required to call setDestination(). If you set no destination then the system uses it's temp path as defined by PHP.
Zend_File_Transfer knows it and moves the file by the filter anyway.
The reason is more a technical one. Before you have not accepted the upload you can not edit the file. And moving the file is also a sort of editing.
Related to same time I see no problem. PHP does not save the file with it's real name but with a internal hash. So as soon as you don't set the same directory for both uploads and both uses the same filename in the same millisecond there is no problem.
When this really occurs, then the second upload will fail because the file can not be moved to it's final destination. Plain setDestination does not overwrite existing files. This feature is only available by using filters.
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 22:49:25
Thanks for the clarification! If my 1st assumption was not right, the second had no more sense.
Friday, September 26, 2008 - 00:01:13
I try to use this feature with Zend_Form_File_Element
Something like this:
$this->addElement('file', 'uploadedfile', array(
'label' => 'upload file',
'filters' => array('Rename', array($uploadDir,true));
I got an error that say: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception: Plugin by name Rename was not found in the registry. I'm using ZendFramework 1.6.1
Can you tell me what i did wrong? what am i missing?
Thank you
Friday, September 26, 2008 - 01:05:08
First please ask in the mailing list and not in my private blog… this is only related to features and not to bug solving.
Second you are not using Zend_Form_File_Element. I am sure by looking at your code that you are using Zend_Form instead. So better ask a Zend_Form specialist, shouldn't you ? ;-)
Monday, September 29, 2008 - 13:59:02
is it possible to get Zend_File_Transfer doing the following steps?
- uploading a _variable_ number of files (works)
- applying validators to every file (works)
- rename each file to a unique id (works for me somehow just for one file (the first one))
- get a list of all files that have been renamed (doesn't seem to work since currently not implemented exception)
thanks in advance!
Monday, September 29, 2008 - 15:49:08
- yes
- yes
- no (issue already available)
- yes (getFileInfo method in trunk)

Good work on file uploading. However, I have a really simple question:
How do you get the file name once it has been uploaded?
Friday, October 17, 2008 - 16:20:13
Have you tried getFileName() ?
I thought that the name clearly defines what it returns…
Friday, November 14, 2008 - 22:05:19
Is there a way to apply the rename filter to change the filename but preserve the file extension without knowing what it will be? For example, i allow the upload of all types of images so the extension could be .jpg,.gif,.png, etc but I want to normalize the filenames to be image1.xxx, image2.xxx, imageN.xxx
Thanks for your hard work.
Friday, November 14, 2008 - 22:12:31
For now you will have to do this manually.
I am already working on this feature but it will not be available before the next release.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 - 19:09:58
Thanks for this - its what I needed. Want to move files to another directory.
However when implementing it in 1.7.0 I had to add indexes my array when creating the filter, e.g.
$adapter->addFilter('Rename', array('source'=>'*', 'target'=>'/new/path/', 'overwrite'=>true));
Else the code as per your example would return the plain filename in the filter() function of Rename ($file = $this->_getFileName($value))
which would mess up the rest of the functions logic.
The source would then be what you want for your target value (the new directory location).
Did i initialise it incorrectly or soemthing? Got it working with the code above though.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 - 22:44:39
Reading this blog you would have noticed that it was written 9th September. 1.7 was released 17.November, 2 months after this blog entry. Which means that this blog entry describes the behaviour of 1.6 and not 1.7
In the manual section there is a migration notes chapter for Zend_File_Transfer where you would have found that behaviour.
Simply said… please read the manual :-)

After the creation of the form, I run a statement like this "if($form->isValid($_POST))" and, inside the if-block, first insert other data into db, retrieving auto-incrementing key, then try to add a filter so $form->getElement('profilepic')->addFilter('Rename','picUser'.$id)
Could you kindly explain me what I'm doing wrong?
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 16:15:29
Not really because I've answered to Alexander before. :-)
There have been 2 or 3 mails in past on the mailinglist from people doing exactly the strategy I've described.
Also it depends on the used release.
Be aware that you don't receive the files and add the filter afterwards. You can check this by using isReceived().
Because some methods receive in background. getValues() is an example.
Also to mention: This article describes Zend_File_Transfer… I don't know if the described solution works also on Zend_Form.
Beside that I would say that you should ask in the mailinglists or on IRC #zftalk because I can't and also won't solve bugs within my blog as you may understand. :-)
Marco Peverelli
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 18:25:40
Sure, I understand. But I didn't mean that behavior to be a bug in your code, I mean the problem is my lack of knowledge! ;)
BTW, which mailing list are you talking about? So that I can search and learn…
Thanks again,

This is a great filter, but I am having difficulty extending it to meet my needs.
I understand that it can rename and overwrite files, but that functionality isn't considerate in the real world of users where many people using a CMS might have an image for example named "test.jpg" and these uploaded images all upload to a single directory "images".
For example, if a user adds his image "test.jpg", the next time an image of "test.jpg" is uploaded, the original is overwritten. This will not do as users will not expect their image to get overwritten.
What means is there of extending this to dynamically increment the filename by 1 in the case of a file already existing on the server? e.g. test-1.jpg if test.jpg exists?
Monday, February 2, 2009 - 21:22:35
When you use a CMS with a huge amount of users and also use only one directory you will soon have other problems than only overwritten files. You should never use a single directory for a CMS for uploaded files. I don't expect that your filesystem can handle 100.000 files in one directory really fast.
Beside of this, it makes no sense to mock about things which are already promoted but not integrated for now. Existing feature requests are no bugs, even if many people have a different opinion on this :-)
At last, when you speak of extending this is something which you can do yourself. Any filter can be extended for own purposes and be attached to the file component. When you are in need of a file-x syntax simply extend the core class and write your own extension of it.
Btw: Even with the actual available methods and classes is a solution for this case possible without extending something.
Monday, February 2, 2009 - 23:55:10
Hi there,
Thanks for the fast response.
> You should never use a single directory for a CMS for uploaded files.
I agree, but I have to work within the constraints of a system I am given.
>it makes no sense to mock about things which are already promoted but not integrated for now.
I wasn't mocking anything. What features are there that are promoted but are yet to be implemented?
> When you are in need of a file-x syntax simply extend the core class and write your own extension of it.
I hadn't thought of doing it this way, but I will look into it now.
Thanks again for your replies. I hope you don't take my comments as criticism and they aren't intended as bug reports. Other than meeting the need of this specific job, I've been very happy with the filter!
Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 00:42:17
I knew how you meant it and this question and related were already asked and answered by me in past.
Please keep in mind that I am no employee of Zend and I do this in my sparetime, so I need some days.
Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 01:11:52
Btw: You can add missing features also at ZF's issuelist: framework.zend.com/issues :-)

Title:Natural Habitats of South African Bulbs: Implications for Cultivation
Author:Helen Brent
pp: 182-185
There are a number of South African bulbs held in the Living Collection at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. However, the collection does not represent fully the diversity in this group. My study aimed to help me develop an understanding of how South African bulbs should be grown in cultivation by viewing them in their natural habitat. I also wanted to gather information on their propagation and investigate species likely to be suitable for outdoor cultivation in the U.K. I would also benefit by gaining field study skills. Funding was made available through the I.P.P.S. Mary Helliar Travel Scholarship and other funding sources.
Invaluable information was gained by seeing the exact growing conditions of particular species in the wild. Through my experience of viewing different species in the wild I was able to help determine the potting mix to use at Kew. The climate of the Amatola mountains near Stutterheim is very much in tune to our own climate in southern England,

SHERIDAN — Sheridan College basketball teams completed a successful Lions Club Tournament Saturday, moving into conference play on the right foot.
The Lady Generals, fresh off a 68-64 win over Eastern Wyoming College Friday, rolled Malmstrom AFB, 92-34, Saturday night and improved to 9-4.
Erika Erickson (Shepherd, Mont.) led the way with 16 points, Phoebe Hinds (Brisbane, Australia) scored 11 and Madison Forney (Rawlins) added 10.
Sheridan College men continued their roll of impressive early-season victories with a 96-85 win over Laramie County Community College. Earning their second victory this season over LCCC, a squad head coach Steve Smiley called one of the strongest in the Region IX, the Generals moved to 11-2. Sheridan beat Dakota College (10-2) Friday.
The Generals were led for the second straight night by sophomore Fred Dure, who hit 14 of 14 free throws and finished with 23 points. Iakeem Alston scored 19 points, Josh Adeyeye had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Jamir Andrews had 11 points and three assists.
Sheridan College plays Western Wyoming Wednesday in Rock Springs, then closes the calendar year against Gillette College in Friday in Gillette. The teams break for the holidays, resuming January 2.

Torn Earlobes
I just bought a pair of big gold hoops and I was so excited to wear them. I thought FINALLY I can wear a pair of earrings that won't tear through my earlobes. Nope, I was wrong. It's so hard when you have torn earlobes to find earrings that aren't so heavy. I heard I could get surgery on them to fix the tear or I could simply get my ears pierced again. Nah, I'll just tape my earrings on! JK. Here is a great way to help keep your earlobes from being weighed down. http://www.lobewonder.com/

Eleele, Kauai County, Hawaii
Lying quietly south of the tropical paradise of the county of Kauai is Eleele, a largely unknown Hawaiian island inhabited by over 2,000 local residents. Its silent demeanor is not an accurate reflection of the many beauties that it is hiding if only visitors will give this rather obscure little paradise a chance to shine. Typically Hawaiian, Eleele boasts of sandy white beaches, clear and wide waters and a charming splendor that can only be found in this tropical island center of the Pacific Ocean.
Eleele is a little-known Hawaiian community south of the county of Kauai that is considered by many people as a perfect jump off point to some of Hawaii's major tourist attractions. This is quite understandable as the island is very near to several golf courses such as the Poipu Bay as well as to Kiahuna, two famous golf courses considered as two of Hawaii's most beautiful. Eighteen miles away from Eleele, Lihue Airport and Nawiliwili Harbor can be found, providing excellent means of transportation not only to and from Eleele but to other popular Hawaiian islands.
Literally overshadowed by its more prominent sister-isles, Eleele is nevertheless a typical Hawaiian tropical paradise teeming with sandy beaches, clear blue waters and naturally-grown plantations. Foreign visitors will definitely find this little-known Hawaiian community a perfect candidate for one of the must-see sights in the central Pacific area. In time, it may even get to rival many of Hawaii's highly-popular islands.
Eleele is a census-designated place (CDP), which means that it has been identified by the United States Census Bureau as an area taht needs statistical reporting because its boundaries have no legal status. In addition, Eleele is composed of densely settled people who can only be identified by name. These characteristics are quite common considering that Eleele is an island, much like the rest of Hawaii so geographical boundaries tend to be difficult to establish.
Based on the 2000 census, the island of Eleele has a total population of 2,040, with its total area totalling 2.6 square kilometers, of which 2.1 square kilometers are land and 0.5 square kilometers is water.
Eleele's History
Eleele is one of the communities that make up the south shore of the Kauai county. Its history is closely linked to the evolution of Kauai, which is the oldest of Hawaii's major islands. Aside from Eleele, other islands of the county include Niihau, Lehua and Kaula, the last two being largely uninhabited.
Kauai and its neighboring islands was formed about five million years ago largely as a result of the collapse of the county's ancient volcano, Mount Wai'ale'ale due to the extreme rainfall in and around it, making it one of the wettest places on earth. The islands then are actually the tip of Mount Wai'ale'ale which rose from the ocean floor.
Centuries later, the first settlers of the islands came bringing with them basic food items, including the taro, an instrument used in making poi, a kind of ball used in juggling. The record of these early settlers disproves the common belief that it was Captain James Cook who first came to the Kauai islands.
In the 1700's, the first group of westerners came to the Kauai group of islands, with Captain Cook as probably the most popular. He landed on the west coast of the island in two large ships where he was welcomed by his surprised but friendly hosts with whom he and his companions traded their goods in exchange for food aside from learning about the islands' local culture.
There are present arguments that Captain Cook was not the first westerner to discover the Kauai county. The Spanish navigator Gaetan was believed to have reached the islands by accident in 1542 when his ship was blown off course while travelling to Mexico. He noted the existence of the islands in his charts, but decided to leave it when he failed to find treasures such as gold and silver.
Eleele's Attractions
Though relatively unknown, Eleele is not without its fair share of breath-taking views and attractive sceneries. From Eleele, simply take a hike to the Hanapepe Overlook or to a nearby wooden sidewalk and one can have an awesome view of the Hanapepe Valley, a site of red cliffs, green valley, lush vegetation and bright blue skies that remain untouched by modern inventions. A picturesque view of a classic Hawaiian valley with multitudes of greens including taro, an edible vegetable plant found mainly in Hawaii and sometimes called the elephant ear plant.
Eleele's Port Allen Harbor is another island attraction largely due to the fact that it is host to the famous Holoholo charter boats which regularly take tourists to short trips around the county islands including one to Nihau, more commonly known as the Forbidden Island. From Port Allen, Holoholo trips to Nihau will take only two minutes of leisurely drive.
The spectacular Waimea Canyon, referred to by the American writer Mark Twain as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is yet another must-see place in Eleele. Formed as a result of a deep incision in the Waimea River, Waimea is a ten-mile long and 3,000-feet deep canyon having a unique geologic history created from the combination of the process of soil erosion and the collapse of the ancient Mount Wai'ale'ale volcano.
Other eye-catching sites of this tiny island include sandy beaches, art galleries ,restaurants commercial centers and several sugar plantations notably those found in the Kaumakani area.
Eleele's Economy
With an abundance of sand as well as beaches, it is but natural that most of the residents of Eleele engage in water-related businesses. This includes fishing, a rather seasonal livelihood since the island of Eleele falls under Kauai, one of the wettest places in the world because of the extreme rainfall which visits the place almost on a daily basis. Nevertheless, Eleeleans appear to have found other sources of income, notably tourism. Visitors are likely to engage in several water-centered activities like sailing, surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving among others. These have become sources of steady as well as highly-profitable business ventures for many of the local folks with the Eleelean waters as their primary partner.
Recently however, a more stable form of livelihood has been introduced by the county of Kauai designed to benefit the entire community of islands including Eleele. Dubbed Kauai Made, the program aims to develop and market products made exclusively by the people of Kauai using the island's raw materials. These will be available at the major airports as well as in kiosks that will be established all around the island with the ultimate aim of providing the people with alternative sources of income when Hawaiian waters are not in their friendly mood. For more detailed information on the project, the county government has even created a website that will provide data on the types of Kauai products available, the manufacturers, as well as the retailers who will be carrying them.

[Murthy] our other team has seen the error on SLES9 too. The Qlogic driver is same as RHEL ones, so we have to see similar behaviour.
I think Ryan's post is correct, but I wonder why the SLES9 is not returning errors. Was the SLES statement referring to the scsi errors you see in the log like this:
Feb 1 11:47:45 apwtest52 kernel: SCSI error : <3 0 0 1> return code
= 0x20000
or the dm-multipath and block layer messages
Feb 1 11:48:40 apwtest52 kernel: device-mapper: dm-multipath:
Failing path 8:32.
Feb 1 11:48:40 apwtest52 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0,
logical block 116940 u
or both?
Do you have the same dm-multipath settings (queue if no path, etc)? [Murthy] yes
Is this is the qlogic qla2xxx driver? [Murthy] yes
Are there qlogic guys on the list that would know if there are any differences between the SLES and RHEL drivers or are we going to have to dig in there? Are there differences between the SLES and RHEL dm multipath drivers? Does this occur with the upstream kernel?
