Gov. Bobby Jindal arrived in Japan Wednesday after wrapping up meetings in South Korea and Taiwan, according to a statement released by his office early Wednesday.
Jindal's press office announced that the governor will meet with five companies, including Shin-Etsu, while in Osaka and Tokyo. Media were not allowed to accompany the governor.
Shin-Etsu is a chemical company. Its U.S. company, Shintech, operates in Plaqumeine and Addis. The five companies are all major global manufacturers that collectively have more than $150 billion in annual sales and more than 260,000 employees, according to the governor's office.
The governor is on a week-long business mission that spans three countries. His first stop was Taiwan, where he met Taiwan President Ma Ying-Jeou and Formosa officials. From Taiwan, he traveled to Seoul, South Korea. He returns to Louisiana Saturday.

CONTROVERSIAL plans to expand the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks are to go before a public inquiry.
Minister for the natural environment Richard Benyon said Natural England's proposals to extend the boundaries of the two parks would be examined at a four-week inquiry in June, with a pre-inquiry meeting to be held in March.
Mr Benyon told MPs: "Over 3,000 objections, representations or expressions of support were received in response to the proposals, including objections from five local authorities.
"It is a statutory requirement that a public inquiry is held if at least one local authority with land in a proposed extension raises an objection to a relevant variation order."
Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron said: "It's right that there should be an inquiry because the people affected should have their voices fully heard.
"This is a big decision that will affect the whole nature of how those communities are governed in the future in terms of planning and the environment."
He added that he hoped the inquiry would be fully-funded, so as not to impact the good work of both authorities.
County Coun for the potentially affected Lyth Valley, Jim Bland, said he was pleased an inquiry was taking place, but that it was 'inevitable'.
"It was just a matter of time," he said. "I think it's right that everybody gets to air their views. I personally never saw the logic in including the Lyth Valley, and it's good that opinions such as that can be expressed at an inquiry."
Following the inquiry the inspector will make recommendations to Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, who will decide whether to modify, approve or reject the plans.
In the Yorkshire Dales National Park the recommended changes relate to an area of approximately 418 square kilometres in Cumbria and Lancashire, in and around

Bay eyes audit; tax hike may be near
By Dwayne Bremer
May 6, 2014, 20:02
Bay St. Louis city leaders on Tuesday discussed a myriad of issues at a budget workshop, including deficiencies in the city's upcoming audit; restructuring the city's debt; and dedicating a new millage to pay it off – which could result in a tax increase.
The workshop began with Mayor Les Fillingame asking the council to consider his strategic plan, which he said will solve many of the city's financial problems.
"It is time for the city to restructure its debt," Fillingame said. "Money is tight and it will continue to be tight. Doing this would give us a lot of relief in the short-term and allow us to add capital for projects going forward."
In 2005, the city obtained a $4.2 million general obligation bond for sewer and infrastructure projects.
The city still owes about $1.4 million on the bond and a $397,000 payment is due in October, Fillingame said.
Fillingame suggested the council approve a plan to restructure the bond and add $2.4 million for a total of $3.8 million.
By doing that, Fillingame said, the city would be able to skip the current payment due in October and use the additional $2.4 million for projects.
Fillingame listed a number of projects which the city has planned, including improvements to Old Spanish Trail; the Safe Routes to School project; improvements to the Central Avenue Bridge; paving and improvement projects in Wards Five and Six; and more.
The bond would be paid back on a term of ten years, and Fillingame suggested the city dedicate three mils each year to pay the debt service.
Ward Five Councilman Joey Boudin asked if dedicating the three mils would result in a tax increase.
Fillingame said it would ultimately be up to the council to decide whether to create a new millage or take it out of the current 17.75 general fund mils.
Ward One Councilman Doug Seal said he believes it is time for the council to consider a millage increase.
"We have the lowest tax rates in the state for the services we provide," Seal said. "We have the lowest rates, therefore we have no money. We are running on 2004 revenue."
Ward Three Councilman Jeffrey Reed agreed, saying he cannot run his personal business the same as he did 10 years ago.
"I can't lay a brick for the same price I did in 2004," Reed said. "Well, I could, but the quality would not be the same. I do not see any way around it. I have raised my rates in my business. I stopped hiring and raised my rates a little and business is wonderful. If it works for my business, it can work for the city."
Ward Four Councilman Bobby Compretta said the 17.75 mil figure is actually high because the city dedicates 2.5 mils a year to the library.
"Actually, we only have 15 mils," he said.
Ward Two Councilman Wendy McDonald asked if the city could just refinance the existing $1.4 million on the bond instead of adding the extra $2.4 million.
Fillingame said it could and it would save the city money, but the projects would most likely not be completed.
"If we do not restructure, I do not think we can do these projects any time soon," he said.
Boudin said he feels the city should look at cutting before raising taxes and maybe refinancing the original bond amount without the extra cash is the way to go.
"Do we really need all of these projects?" he asked.
He agreed that the city has a low millage, but it also collects $2 million a year in gaming revenue.
Fillingame said the city's gaming revenue has declined from $3 million per year in 2004 to about $2 million today.
"I think it's a trend across America in the casino industry," he said.
The council was expected to vote on Fillingame's request to restructure the bond later in Tuesday's meeting. The results of the vote were not available by press time Tuesday.
Ward Six Councilman Lonnie Falgout and Councilman-at-Large Mike Favre quizzed Fillingame on revenue shortfalls in the first five months of the fiscal year.
Falgout said gaming and sales taxes are not meeting projected numbers and he is concerned about the impacts to the city.
"I am showing a $197,000 shortfall in the past five months," Falgout said.
Fillingame said the city has cut expenses to make up the shortfall and everything will balance out at the end of the year.
"There is a difference between a shortfall and a deficit," he said. "We have been adapting and adjusting."
Falgout then quizzed auditor Jennifer Bell about certain items in a draft of the city's 2013-2014 audit.
Falgout said that initial findings in the audit indicated the city was having trouble paying some of its bills. He also highlighted other issues with audit.
Falgout said the draft audit states that the city is experiencing a cash-flow problem and that bills were being paid in order of priority, rather than order received.
Fillingame said that he challenged the assertion and pointed to the fact that the audit is not yet complete.
Bell said that she is awaiting certain reports and other information from the city's management before she can complete the audit.
She said she hopes to have it complete within 60 days.
Fillingame asked Bell if she would brief the council again when her audit is complete, but no date for another workshop was set.

Warning: This post is not safe for work, and it's certainly not safe for Disney. Miley Cyrus was by her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's side as he celebrated his birthday on Saturday, which is no doubt a sweet gesture — but as for munching on his penis-shaped birthday cake? Well, we're not so sure that's a 'girlfriend of the year' move.
It seems Smiley Miley simply couldn't help herself when they rolled out the delicious icing-coated cake, despite the fact that it was shaped like a giant version of the male genitalia. The set of photos (link below), courtesy of TMZ, shows the 'Hannah Montana' star getting up close and very personal with the phallic baked good with no regard for the camera flashes.
In a few of the pictures, the 19-year-old child star is even shown rocking what appears to be an equally oversized Long Island Iced Tea (jealous), which lends us to believe that she was intoxicated when the camera was rolling. If you're having deja vu, you're not crazy — a similar thing happened when Miles was filmed smoking salvia on her own birthday.
How little miss Cyrus got into Club Icon in Downtown L.A. without a chaperone, well, that one stays under the table. Unfortunately for Miley, these photos did not.

The Affordable Care Act presents some challenges in how we, as a state and a nation, redefine the link between the lifestyles we lead, the healthy or unhealthy environmental supports we have and the impact this has on our entire healthcare system.
Palatine, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2012
Laura Minzer, Executive Director of the Healthcare Council of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, has been added as a panelist in a community forum titled, "Nutrition, Prevention and the Affordable Care Act." Hosted by the American Nutrition Association® (ANA), the forum takes place at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8, at Wojcik Conference Center at Harper College, 1200 W. Algonquin Rd., Palatine.
The public is invited free of charge to this informative panel discussion.
With education a top priority, the panel is composed of members who can offer a broad range of insight and expertise. The four panelists are:
- Congressman Joe Walsh, IL 8th District;
- Joseph Mercola, D.O.;
- Barbara Bellar, MD, JD, MA; and
- Laura Minzer, executive director, Healthcare Council, Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
"The Affordable Care Act presents some challenges in how we, as a state and a nation, redefine the link between the lifestyles we lead, the healthy or unhealthy environmental supports we have and the impact this has on our entire healthcare system," Minzer said. "It also presents both opportunities and challenges for the area of nutrition and prevention in relation to health and wellness."
The president of the ANA - Michael Stroka, JD, MBA, MS, CCN, CNS, will moderate the forum.
"The goal of the forum is to have a respectful discussion about aspects of the Affordable Care Act which relate to nutrition, prevention and integrative medicine," Stroka said.

You're square, you have everything perfectly aligned in your life. You have no faults, you hike ten miles a day, you shove javelins through zombie hearts, you balk at losers who have less than 33 for their ACT score. Hot damn, it's been so long since I took the ACT anyway. Where did all the time go?
Look, you know you're quite the catch, and you've been looking long and hard for someone to match you. That's me. You're jaded, cynical, sweet, beautiful, hopeful, loving, optimistic, opposite of cynical, you're cynical, hey, it's summertime, let's have a good ol' time.
Oh, about me. No, I'm not going to tell you. Figure it out you beautiful genius.
Movies: Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine, and Donnie Darko are my top three, hands down. Then anything by Charlie Kaufman, then Judd Apatow. I love beautiful, cerebral movies. I love slow, melancholy movies about broken people. I could list a ton of movies here but that takes away from potential conversation, so throw a movie past me and we can talk about how much we loved it or hated it or never saw it. I love movies and it takes a lot for me to really hate one (exceptions: Water World, A.I., and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland).
Shows: The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Freaks and Geeks, Breaking Bad, Louie, Extras, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Futurama, Simpsons (classics only), Family Guy, South Park, It's Always Sunny
Music: Pet Sounds is my favorite album of all time, and it would be a sad day for me to not love it as much as I do today. SMiLE in close second. I've been obsessed with of Montreal for the past two years. I tend to get locked on a band for years and listen to them non-stop. I mostly love anything from the 60's, especially psychedelic, garage, Motown, and girl groups...Beach Boys (Brian Wilson), Beatles, Hendrix, Love, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Sex Pistols, Pixies, Nirvana, the Breeders, Radiohead, Sugarman 3, Will Sessions, Grandaddy, Walkmen, Tame Impala, Marshmallow Coast.
Food: There's little I won't eat. I love discovering new foods and introducing others to foods for the first time. Picky eaters annoy the hell out of me.
Drink: I love craft beers and beer culture in general. I love introducing people to their new favorite beer.
Also, where are all the nerdy gamer girls at? Come on, it's a fine hobby.

Lakewood senior running back Laterian Latimer doesn't pull any punches when talking about how important the offensive line is to the Spartans' success.
"They're the gods of our offense,'' Latimer said Monday at practice. "We can't do anything without them. If they're not making blocks, we can't throw the ball, we can't run the ball.''
For most of the season, Lakewood (10-1) has been able to grind its way through opposing offenses. Heading into Friday's Class 5A region semifinal against Robinson (10-1), the Spartans have scored 390 points, or 35.5 per game.
Quarterback Tracy Johnson, receivers Rodney Adams, Marquez Valdes and Andrew Davis, and running backs Jocqui Ellison, Zamarie Johnson, Malcolm Ervin, Lidell Golden and Latimer have all been able to run and throw during the season.
While all of the above get most of the glory, the offensive line has enabled it to happen. When left tackle Isaiah Wynn (6-foot-3, 285), left guard Anthony Haugabook (6-0, 285), center Trevon Kelly (6-0, 260), right guard Nyquel Alexander (6-5, 390), right tackle Logan McNeil (6-3, 305) and tight ends Adrian Palmore (6-3, 230) and Darquez Watson (6-3, 225) are on, Lakewood's offense can be a menace.
"I think we've been nasty up front all season,'' Wynn said. "As a unit, we've been working together all season just to make sure our steps are right.''
About the only time the offensive line didn't play well was in the Spartans' lone loss, 19-8 to Robinson during the regular season. Lakewood was shut out in the first half and didn't have an answer for Robinson's three-man front.
Johnson had little time to pass and the backs found few holes. And in the second half Johnson was sacked and sustained a concussion, which caused him to miss the next two games. The only positive from the first Robinson game was that Adams had success running from the Wildcat formation and outscored the Knights 8-0 in the second half.
"As an offensive line we adjusted to what they were doing but by that time it was too late,'' Wynn said. "Hopefully, this time we can bang some heads. If we can do that, then we'll be good.''
Latimer, who missed the Robinson game due to a concussion sustained the week before against Jesuit, said the line has paved the way all season. He scored twice in last week's playoff opener at Orlando Bishop Moore, and the offense racked up 424 total yards.
"It's my O-line,'' Latimer said. "I'm just hitting the holes. They're making the blocks.''
Having big guys up front has allowed coach Cory Moore to use the running game more this season and take some pressure off Johnson.
"The running game's success comes down to the guys up front,'' Moore said. "We've had some consistency there all season.''

We planted this tree last fall, and it has been babied throughout the year. I did a montage of it through the seasons and it really turned out well, I think. I just took another picture of it a couple days ago, in all its autumn glory. We seem to be having an early fall this year, and the tree was turning red earlier than it did last year. The sun was shining through it and "lit it up" just a bit for this shot.
No where near as good of a photo as the ones you will see on Autofocused, but then Chris has a shiny new 'toy" to play with…

Yes fin aid can pay for rent and bills, it is no different than financial aid paying for a dorm room and associated costs. One is on campus and one is off.
Your financial aid can pay for anything you want to pay with it.
It's very common for students to borrow more money than is needed for tuition, books and other school expenses. They can use the excess for whatever they want, most commonly for rent and other expenses.
It depends on the income of your parents. My mom doesn't have a large income so I basically got about 10,000 in financial aid. I got a 2,000 loan and the expected contribution from my parents is only 2,000. I live on campus too...
Consolidating your loans can also improve your chances of being approved for a mortgage or car loan. Lowering your monthly student loan payments means that less of your monthly income will go toward paying debt, reducing your "debt-to-income ratio." Your debt-to-income ratio (the lower, the better) is one of the factors a mortgage or car loan lender will look at in determining how much you can borrow.
There are no fees, no credit checks and no employment verifications to apply for a federal consolidation loan. In fact, the government prohibits federal consolidation lenders from charging fees.
The application process can be completed in a matter of minutes online or over the phone. All that is required is a short federal application, basically containing some personal information, contact information for 2 personal references and information on your current student loans, which your lender can fill in for you. Virtually everyone with federal student loans qualifies for a federal consolidation loan – as long as they have over $7,500 in federal loans and aren't in default on those loans.
So much depends on the amount of your annual tuition and you and your parents' financial status (ability to contribute).
Have you filled out the fafsa.gov website? You will need some information from your parents about their income and it will probably take you an hour to do the first time but it's free and you HAVE to do it get financial aid at most if not all schools. I get financial aid and I can use it for any school related expense. This has included my rent, car insurance, health insurance, food, takeout food, clothes, utilities (including cell phone), new laptop after my computer crashed, and it does NOT include vacations and vet bills!
Try looking into work-study programs at schools since you won't pay tax on the money under a certain dollar amount. I tutor at my school, have gotten three raises in over a year, and have met and helped lots of students.
Yes... check with the Financial Aid office at the college you are attending or plan to attend. They are the ones who decide how much money you will be allowed to borrow. This is assuming that you have applied for the FAFSA, the Stafford Loan, the Perkins Loan (IF your school has it), and the SELF loan which requires a co-signer.
After approval by the school for the loans, any excess that is above your actual school costs for attending school, the school gives to the student. With some loans there is a percentage of the loan that a student may spend for rental on an apartment or living quarters of some kind.
IF the school has NO CAMPUS housing, then all excess monies are given to the student to use at their discretion.
I am a FT student with three children ... when on earth would I work in time for a job?? LOL That's where subsidized and unsubsidized loans often go .. to help cover living expenses while in school. Actually on my school's website, my financial aid status page shows my estimated yearly expenses, which includes not only tuition and books, but housing and travel expenses. (And they figure rather reasonable amounts for those categories.) I am married, so luckily my husband covers the bills, but if it weren't for those loans to help subsidize our living expenses it might be pretty rough for the next three years!
Just keep in mind that you WILL have to pay back those loans, so be sure you spend that money on something that you won't regret later. Rent and utlities have to be paid, so I would not feel bad about it.
heres what i do: my scholarship, federal subsidized loans, grants, and state loans are about $1,500 per semester more than what my tuition is, so I request my refund from the school, they mail me a check, and I have money for rent/utils/etc. I also have a part time job with the school (aka workstudy) that I do for 10 hours per week at $7.85 per hour, which gives me enough money to buy food and gas. when I get low on funds, I go out and get a temporary second job, something easy that pays reasonably well just to make rent.
so the short of it is, yes I have a job while doing full time classes because my parents don't give me any support at all. however I do also use my govt. financial aid to get by.
oh and this is for in-state tuition (about 3500 per semester)

CBUK Three Jack Plaid Short
These shorts are sweet! They fit really well, which makes them a winner in my book because it is so hard to find shorts that are just the right length. They look really good with t-shirts or polos and i have worn them for other things besides golf. I just realized last week that the inside pockets are bright orange (you cant see this unless you turn them inside out). I was surprised, but it gave me a good chuckle.

All components are introduced into the water via the Cycler, installed after your pools pump and filter. The Mineral Reservoir is inserted first and lasts all summer, while the chlorine Bac Pacs fit inside the Mineral Reservoir and are dialed in to your pool's exact needs. Less waste. Less work. Leaves your pool for nothing but fun!

Annual costs are comparable, if not lower, than using 3" chlorine pucks in skimmers or floaters. There's no sticker shock as found with salt and UV systems. FROG users rave about how little time is required to maintain their pool. No daily dosing. No lugging heavy buckets, and no concerns of salt corroding their pool equipment and surrounding areas.

I have been using King Chlorinators for over 20 years. First a chlorinator that I bought with my pool (lasted 17 years) and then the frog. The ease and clarity of my water and now less chlorine for my grandkids makes King/Frog the way to go. And Town and Country Pools in Phillipsburg NJ have always kept me going with the right replacements even for the old chlorinator before I switched over to the frog.

I really like the Frog pool system, it takes the guess work out of adding the proper chemicals and it is VERY easy to use! I would definitely recommend one if you have a pool.
Robert L Petersen
I have been using Frog products for 5 seasons now . We have the 6100 model, for our 24′ above ground. Haven't been disappointed.the mineral cartridge & bac pacs are self contained . Bac pacs last for about 3 weeks. As long as you check the bac pacs to see if the tabs are dissolved, then add another one. I get a full pool season on the mineral cartridge, from mid May til closing mid Sep. I highly recommend this product. It's defineatly worth the money
Jim king
Ten years and still the simplistically easier most friendly to use system for the person who doesn't have time to babysit the chemicals .
I'd recommend to my enemies that's how good it works.

Why did Jun Dong-Soo say Windows 8 no better than Vista?
A Samsung division president, Jun Dong-Soo, was widely quoted as saying Windows 8 was no better than Vista. But why? Could it simply be because PCs aren't selling well in the (ahem) post-PC world?
In IT Blogwatch, bloggers point fingers.
Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.
Jared Newman thinks Jun Dong-Soo isn't being fair:
[The] president of Samsung's memory chip division...had no kind words for Windows 8. ... Jun's statements echo findings by IDC and Gartner, who found that PC sales declined during the holiday shopping season.
...It does seem disingenuous...to pin the blame solely on Microsoft's operating system, as if the hardware is without fault. ... It's possible that next-generation processors from Intel and AMD...could make for a healthy second wave. MORE
And Chris Matyszczyk blames "panic" among PC makers:
The old order is dissipating...the occasional finger gets pointed and noses get disjointed.
..."Better" is always a relative word. [Perhaps] Jun was bemoaning the fact that the global PC market isn't exactly expanding. ... [It's] entirely possible that people just don't feel such a great need for PCs. ... It also seems entirely possible that Samsung, Acer, and others didn't release PCs that were terribly interesting. MORE
So Paul Thurrott offers his usual schtick:
Windows Vista, is widely viewed as being a disastrous speed bump in the otherwise stellar rise of Windows. ... But Vista is also widely misunderstood...the stigma remained even as Vista went on to sell several hundred million units.
...Microsoft fundamentally altered the foundational core of Windows in this release, just as it did with Vista...[so] consumer acceptance of Windows 8 is on par with that of Vista. MORE
But Arash Jafari rejects the comparison:
Vista was a disaster on many levels until SP1 came out while Windows 8 is the most stable and fluent Windows. ...look at the facts and ignore people's opinion...the core of Windows 8 is a greatly improved Windows 7 and allows you to do exactly what you did before. MORE
Meanwhile, Andrew Hall goes all Buddhist/conspiracist on us:
This is karma for Bill Gates' population-control vaccine nonsense. [He] is getting more involved with radical ecoterror in the name of the Bilderberg Group and Club of Rome and bizarre population control schemes than he is with the cutting edge of technology.
...My dream is that Gates...realizes killing Africans with a bunch of lousy vaccines is a terrible thing...then grabs the reins of his company. MORE

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/11/2013 (1358 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
City hall expects to end 2013 without a deficit – but only if there is just a single major snowfall before the end of December.
The city is projecting a $6.2 million operating deficit – down from $7.7 million in the previous quarter – but finance officials said further restraint will likely see the city end up the year in the black.
However, officials told the finance committee there is only $4 million left in the snow clearing budget for the year – enough funds to handle just one more major snowfall.

Gonzi admits people did the right thing on divorce
Muscat met police chief on case of minister
Nationalist Party leader Lawrence Gonzi yesterday admitted the people did the right thing when they voted for divorce in a referendum two years ago.
The admission from the Prime Minister, who voted against a divorce law in Parliament despite the referendum result, came during a debate for party leaders organised by The Times yesterday.
Dr Gonzi was asked the point blank question by moderator Herman Grech, head of media at The Times, during a yes-or-no, 20-question session that characterised the last part of the hour-long debate that was also transmitted live on One TV and Net TV.
But Dr Gonzi answered with a plain "no" when asked whether he would resign if the PN lost the forthcoming election, something Dr Muscat answered with "I will not hang on to power".
The Big Debate, held at the Intercontinental Hotel, started off as a three-way match that also included Alternattiva Demokratika chairman Michael Briguglio.
The leaders sparred almost robotically for the first part, upping the tempo in the second half when Dr Muscat said a whistleblower was ready to speak out on a case in which, the Labour leader alleges, a minister had put pressure on the police to release somebody from custody. Dr Muscat had first mentioned this incident, involving an unnamed minister, on February 14 without giving details – he had urged journalists to carry out their own investigations.
The whole Cabinet had subsequently denied the allegation but the Labour leader returned to the case yesterday.
When asked how the allegation squared up with his stated desire to run a positive campaign, Dr Muscat said he had passed on the details of the case to the Police Commissioner.
"I spoke to the Police Commissioner and passed on the information that I had. I also told him there was a whistleblower who was ready to testify but this person did not feel protected enough to speak out now without a Whistleblower's Act," Dr Muscat said.
Reacting to this statement, Dr Gonzi said he had no information on this case and would go to the Police Commissioner if he had any.
Dr Gonzi rejected a suggestion that the PN's criticism of Labour deputy leader Toni Abela was a mud-slinging campaign.
"This is not mud-slinging but a question of how Toni Abela behaved in the situations he was faced with. Whenever I received reports of illegalities I always referred the matter to the police and never interfered in investigations."
Both leaders willing to enter a coalition with Alternattiva
Apart from reiterating their respective parties' electoral proposals, Dr Gonzi and Dr Muscat committed themselves to reform fireworks laws and enter into a coalition with AD if the party were elected to Parliament.
But they were non-committal on whether illegal boathouses should be pulled down and disagreed completely on whether the shipyards reform was a good thing – Dr Muscat said it was bad while Dr Gonzi repeatedly insisted it was a good thing.
Dr Muscat disagreed with holding a referendum on spring hunting while Dr Gonzi defended a loan his party's commercial arm took from construction magnate Nazzareno Vassallo.
Both leaders committed themselves not to increase VAT in the next legislature although there was a hint of hesitation before Dr Gonzi gave his reply.
On immigration, Dr Muscat said he agreed with a push-back policy for immigrants if Libya was stable and could guarantee their human rights, something Dr Gonzi disagreed with.
In a brief tit-for-tat just before the first part of the debate was up, Dr Gonzi acknowledged that the Government's public transport consultants had got the route changes wrong when bus operator Arriva started running the service in 2011.
The public transport reform was described by Dr Muscat as the Government's "biggest fiasco" along with the €500 honoraria increase for ministers.
At the start of the debate the leaders made their pitch on why people should vote for them on March 9.
Dr Gonzi said the PN was the party that could guarantee more jobs, pointing out that a recent forecast by the European Commission had said Malta will be one of the best performers in the EU. "The PN can offer a strong future," Dr Gonzi insisted.
For Dr Muscat, voters should choose Labour if they wanted a new way of doing politics that maximised the potential of all people. "We will not look at the colour of your face," he said.
Dr Briguglio reiterated that voters knew where AD stood on a number of issues that were ignored by the other parties. Taking the podium in the first part of the debate, Dr Briguglio said AD had been effective outside Parliament by putting a number of issues such as divorce on the country's agenda and urged voters to give it a chance to be more influential by having a parliamentary seat.
"We have a historical responsibility to speak on those issues the other parties ignore such as the rights of the LGBT community. In Parliament AD will raise those issues others want to ignore and we will force them to discuss and vote on them," Dr Briguglio said, urging voters to "write history" by choosing AD.

I ordered these for my 3yr old however found the back strap on both sizes kept falling down, so ended up keeping a pair of timberlands I ordered as well and returning the birkenstocks.Size Rated As:
- anonymous15/06/2015
I buy these Birkenstocks every year for my boys. They come up slightly larger, son measured 10uk had to go for 9 in the Birkenstock. They are perfect for Summer and well worth the money. Great for holidays abroad, my boys wear them evening and night - even getting them wet by pool does not ruin them! The Roma style is particularly good as it has buckle strap at heel, which helps if the sandals are a bit too big.Size Rated As:

High quality sandle, very soft on the inside with no stitching that can irritate skin. My son loves them!

Ohio State:
There are a few possibilities here for the Buckeyes. Marcel Frost and Rory Nicol are battling for the starting tight end job and whoever wins it should be in for a productive year. Nicol came in as a highly touted recruit but hasn't seen the field very much thanks in large part to a foot injury that knocked him out for the entire 2005 season. Frost has a nice combination of size and speed and was productive when asked to play last year because of injuries. Also watch for wide receivers Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline. Robiskie has a nice frame and has nice potential as a possession type receiver and will likely see time in larger sets. Hartline has playmaker speed and should start showing off his skill this year after making a full recovery from a leg injury.
There aren't many sleeper types here but there are several experienced players that have the possibility of having breakout seasons. Wide receiver Adrian Arrington is a player I think could play a big role in the offense as the season progresses. He offers the offense a nice sized, possession type receiver to help balance the deep threats of Mario Manningham and Steve Breaston. Furthermore, if reports of his increased speed are accurate, he may be able to stretch defenses at times himself. This also may the year Breaston finally stays healthy all year and becomes a consistent big play threat on offense. Tight end Tyler Ecker is coming off a solid spring and could really shine under offensive coordinator Mike DeBord (who loves to use the position). Also, the team is hoping one of the interior lineman can emerge. Guard Adam Kraus is a player I really think will take it to the next level this year after getting his feet wet in 2005. Coach Carr had nothing but praise for center Mark Bihl, who may be the key to the offensive lines success.
The Hawkeyes have to replace Ed Hinkel and Clinton Solomon at wide receiver, so keep an eye on this position. I expect Herb Grigsby to emerge as one of the key receivers in the offense. Grigsby caught 25 passes for 335 yards last year (three touchdowns) and may be the team's best deep threat. Also keep an eye on red shirt freshman Trey Stross, who was highly rated coming into Iowa. Speaking of stud recruits, tackle Dace Richardson will take over at left tackle and could thrive early.
Penn State:
With the exception of quarterback, much is already known about the skill positions for the Nittany Lions. They are exceptional. The Nits do, however, have to replace four offensive lineman. Fortunately they have some young talented players on the interior. Center A.Q. Shipley and guard Greg Harrison figure to be the rising stars of the unit. Shipley was moved from defense and all reports are that he has fit like a glove at center. He has already claimed the starting job and much is expected of him in 2006. Harrison is still fighting for a guard spot but I anticipate at some point this year he will take over there. He may not be a star right off the bat, but expect to see flashes of what is to come in the future.
The Boilermakers have few players I think could breakout this year. First and foremost, quarterback Curtis Painter is poised to have a really good year.
Curtis Painter
Look for a breakout player at wide receiver with almost all of the production from last season gone. Marcus Randle El and Paul Hubbard are two top candidates though they have very different styles. The 5-10 Randle-El is lighting in a bottle, while the 6-4 Hubbard is bigger and has a bit more polish. Also look for one of the interior lineman to really emerge. Sophomore Andy Kemp has had the staff excited since he stepped foot on campus last year and will start in 2006. Kraig Urbik did a solid job at right tackle last season and will move inside to handle the guard spot. At 6-6, 320 pounds, Urbik has the tools to be a mauler in the run game. Also watch for true freshman wide receiver Lance Kendricks.
Most of the offense returns intact except for the critical position of running back in the Gopher offense. Now that Gary Russell will for sure not be back this year, a breakout player is needed at that position. Expect Amir Pinnix to be a 1,000 yard rusher after impressing last season. In the two springs prior to this year's, two the Gopher back was named Outstanding Player of the Spring Game. Injuries have prevented him from fulfilling the promise he has shown throughout his career. Last year Pinnix rushed for 467 yards off 78 carries (6.0 average), but he must show durability this year to provide the Gophers with the kind of rushing attack that they've become accustomed to. In a system that usually likes to use two backs, expect JUCO transfer Brylee Callender to get his share of carries. Freshman Terrence Sherrer could compete for carries as well. Sherrer was impressive every time I watched Cincinnati Colerain last year and is tailor made to play in the zone blocking scheme.
Michigan State:
There are several players I think could have breakout years for the Spartans. Two offensive lineman, Roland Martin and Jesse Miller will be counted on to replace two departed starters on the right side. Martin was a big time offensive line prospect the Spartans landed a few years back, and he now gets his first chance to start at guard. He has all the tools to be special. The staff is also excited about Miller at right tackle. The 6-6, 300 pound Miller brings excellent mobility to a system that needs big men that can move. Expect one of the receivers to step up for the loss of Kyle Brown. JUCO transfer Devin Thomas is a player to watch for the future. He has a knack for making plays and has really polished his game at Coffeyville Junior College after playing in a run heavy system in high school.
Wide Receiver Kim Thompson has the natural ability to be a star but hadn't quite put it together in prior seasons. With the departure of starters Mark Philmore and Jonathan Fields, it is now or never for Thompson to step up. At 6'4, he possesses great size and is nimble for his height. The Wildcats also have another player that could fit the bill as a breakout performer. Although Tyrell Sutton is the star of the offense, many forget Terrell Jordan was the penciled in as the starting running back for 2005. After sustaining a hamstring injury, Jordan redshirted the 2005 season and is back for a 5th year run. If he can return to pre-injury form, Sutton will have a quality backup to help ease the burden in the backfield.
This is an offense in great need of some breakout players after finishing 10th in the conference last season. There are some young players that give the Illini hope. Wide receiver Derrick McPhearson got his first taste of action last season and is now set to take on a starting job. He will be expected to make big plays, something the young man is definitely capable of. Left tackle Akim Millington was set to be a starter at Oklahoma before transferring to Illinois. Most do not know this young man, but by season's end, they surely will. Also keep an eye on incoming freshman quarterback Isiah Williams. If Tim Brasic slips up during the year, the Illini won't hesitate to try out "the future" in his place.
The Hoosiers are searching for answers at running back, and there are a few options capable of breaking out. Former wide receiver Marcus Thigpen will get a crack at the job. He is very undersized, but is also very explosive. The job might end up in the hands of Demetrius McCray, who is also undersized but is equally electric. Notre Dame transfer Chauncey Incarnato may be the Hoosiers best lineman, but it is unclear where he will figure in at this point. If he finds a starting job, he could blossom into a standout player.

Snapchat Adds Text and Live Video Chat!
Do you use Snapchat? For something that started off as mostly a service to send naughty photos, it's become quite popular as just a way to send a modified text message. In an age of emojis, a picture speaks a thousand words.
I woke up to a cool message from Team Snapchat about some new features:

Saturday Vids: Women's Media Center at Sundance
I love the Women's Media Center. If you've never heard of them, you should probably check them out immediately because they're doing some really wonderful work making women more visible and powerful in the media. To learn more about what they do, click here or read my interview with Carol Jenkins, the WMC's founding President, here. The video I want to feature today, though, is from when the WMC went to the Sundance Film Festival to raise awareness about gender disparity in filmmaking. Good stuff.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Details of Disappearance
Tuders was last seen by her family at approximately 7:00 a.m. on April 29, 2003, when her father woke her up in their home in the 1300 block of Lillian Street in Nashville, Tennessee. She was watching television when he went to work. She was supposed to board the school bus at 8:00 a.m. at 14th & Boscobel Streets. Tuders did not get on the bus and never arrived at Bailey Middle School, where she attended. She may have been seen getting into a red car, but that sighting has not been confirmed. Tuders's parents contacted the school that evening when she failed to return home. When they found out she had been absent from school that day, they reported her missing shortly before 6:00 p.m.

NYC Health Dept. Commissioner On Upping Legal Smoking Age [AUDIO]
Dr. Thomas Farley, the Commissioner of the NYC Health Department, joined WOR's Hilarie Barsky to discuss the city's latest public health initiative in trying to raise the legal age to buy cigarettes from 18 to 21. This new proposal, just announced by Farley and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn would give New York the strictest limits of any major city.
"By making it so that you can't sell to someone under the age of 21, we're going to make it harder for kids under the age of 18 to get cigarettes too," Farley told Hilarie Tuesday morning. Farley argued that the majority of adults in NYC who smoke today started smoking before the age of 21. Do you think this is a good idea? You can listen to the interview below.

Jaime's story of hip replacement
For Jamie Herman—a wife and mom, "Nana" and, Realtor® in Benicia—every day is a good day just because she can do simple things that others take for granted: taking walks, bike riding and getting down on the floor to play with her young grandson, Nicholas. Not long ago, these simple activities were virtually impossible for her because of relentless pain.
"One morning I woke up and stepped out of bed and felt this pain in my hip—and thought maybe I had exercised too much," she remembers. But instead of going away, the pain lingered and worsened over the next two years. "I could barely move. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't walk. I was in pain all the time. It consumed my life," she says.
When her primary care doctor referred her to orthopedic surgeon David Schiff, M.D., at Sutter Solano Medical Center in Vallejo, it was a turning point.
"When I was in all that pain, my outlook on life was pretty dismal," she notes. But Dr. Schiff "knows exactly what he's doing…and that gave me a sense of security." After trying non-surgical therapies, which did not relieve her pain, she took the next step: total hip replacement surgery.
"Dr. Schiff said it would make my life normal and pain-free again and it did," says Jamie. "People ask me now, 'How's the pain?' and I have to explain to them: there is no pain. The pain I was feeling 24 hours a day was completely gone the minute I woke up from surgery. At my six-week check-up, I told Dr. Schiff I wanted to thank him for giving me my life back."
Jamie says that having her hip replaced "has restored my outlook on life and given me the energy to enjoy the people I love and care deeply about."
"I'm Jamie Herman, and that's my story."

Resources sector investment firm Cape Lambert Resources has lifted its stake in junior uranium explorer Cauldron Energy and iron ore explorer Fe.
Cape Lambert assumed oversight of key aspects of Cauldron when Cauldron's chief executive Terry Topping, a founding director, resigned on Friday to pursue other opportunities.
Cape Lambert said at the time it would bring significant financial benefits to Cauldron by streamlining activities to reduce costs.
Perth business identity Tony Sage, who is chairman of both Cape Lambert and Cauldron, has assumed the day-to-day management of Cauldron alongside the uranium explorer's sole executive director Brett Smith.
Cape Lambert on Thursday said it had so far made a 52 per cent return on its initial investment in assets acquired from collapsed copper miner CopperCo that it later divested.
Cape Lambert last week entered into an in-principle agreement to sell its 25 per cent interest in the Lady Loretta copper project in Queensland to a subsidiary of Xstrata for $30 million in cash.
Xstrata holds the remaining 75 per cent interest in the project.
"In total, cash generated from the sale of the various assets acquired from CopperCo has so far amounted to approximately $205 million," Mr Sage said in a statement.
"We still retain a number of assets, worth more than $80 million, which once liquidated will have generated a total profit to Cape Lambert of approximately $150 million in less than two years."
Cape Lambert's business model focuses on acquiring distressed or undervalued assets or companies, applying funds and technical resources to make them more advanced, then divesting them through a trade sale or spun off as a separate listed entity.
Shares in Cape Lambert were up 2¢, or 3.12 per cent, at 66¢ at 2.48pm AEDT.
Shares in Cauldron were down 0.5¢ at 33.5¢ while Fe shares were up 1.5¢ at 16.5¢.

DBA Resource Page
Medieval Army Lists
Late Roman (West) - DBA 77a
|1 x 4Kn or 3Cv
|Roman knights are either the Gallic Equites Catafractarii or the Clibanarii. The Clibanarii were more common in later years and were modeled after eastern cavalry. The Equites sagittarii Clibanarii and the Equites Persae Clibanarii emulated the bow-armed Persian heavy cavalry. Other Clibanarii, such as the Cuneus Equitum Clibanariorum Palmirenorum were modeled after the fully armored lancers fielded by the Parthians and Palmyrans.
|2 x 3Cv
|Include both the regular Equites (e.g. Equites Armegeri) and the Sagitarii or mounted archers. Roman horsemen were typically well-equipped with mail and shield and wore the conical spangenhelm helmet.
|1 x 2LH
|Specialist troops recruited from among Rome's allies to scout for and screen the army.
|4 x 4Bd
|The still formidable Roman legionary, now typically Gallo-Roman or Germanic in origin rather than Latin, and equipped with ring mail or leather armor (or no armor), a leather helmet, an oval or round shield, thrusting spear and the spatha sword.
|3 x 4Ax
|Allied or Foederati units, typically Germanic or Gallic in origin (e.g. Auxilia Celtae, Auxilia Brisigari), employed in a variety of specialized roles. In the frontier militias, the Auxilia could be descendants of Hadrian's veterans who were settled in border garrisons generations before.
|1 x Art or 2Ps
|The Notitia Dignitatum records one unit of catapult operators (Ballistarii) stationed at Bontobrica near Mainz on the Rhine frontier.
Late Rome-West enjoy a quite barbarous list of opponents: Alan (#55d), Scots-Irish (#61), Moorish (#65), Caledonian/Pict (#67), Middle Imperial Rome (#69) Early Goth or Vandal (#70), Early Frank, Burgundian, Alamannic or Rugian (#74), Early Saxon, Frisian, Suevi, Bavarian or Thuringian (#75a), Late Roman-East (#77b), and Later Visigoth (#80).
The Knight option coupled with Roman Blades make the Late Roman-West army a dangerous opponent for most Warband heavy opponents, but the Late Romans must also contend with barbarian armies (e.g. Alans, Vandals, etc.) that are both more mobile and that can also match the Romans Knight for Knight and occasionally Blade for Blade. A careful combined arms approach and appropriate use of terrain so that the Roman Auxilia can contribute are essential. Skillful generalship is necessary to avoid the decline and fall of your Late Roman ambitions.
For a mobile field army, a march camp--perhaps with hasty defenses--is certainly appropriate. For the frontier Ripenses and Limitanei, a pallisaded garrison is a likely choice. A cart or wagon element representing a baggage train is also well suited.
The following tips by Luke Ueda-Sarson were forwarded by Larry Nellinger, Jr.:
Assuming you are playing 4th or 5th century Romans, you want the following (some of these bits are conjectural, but they are the best guesses vailable):
Legionaries and their supports (including artillery, marines and promoti light horse, but excluding foot guards): Leather armour (legionaries only), red helmet crest, red tunic, brown breeches, maroon scabbards and belts, black shoes if shoes provided, otherwise sandals. Field regiments will have purple shoulder markings and cuffs.
Auxilia (including cavalry, both heavy and light-other than promoti light horse), foot guards, foot auxilia and their supports: White (or cream colored) tunics (heavy cavalry have mail), yellow helmet crest (and plumes for some cavalry - with green horse cloths), maroon scabbards and belts, brown breeches and black shoes. Field regiments will have purple shoulder markings and cuffs.
Shield patterns varied enormously. By this time, the old-style winged thunderbolts had disappered. You need to look at the Notitia dignitatum (parts of which are reproduced in WRG/Phil Barkers 'Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome' or something lie that. If you play Romans you NEED this book. It covers Goths too).
The following notes by Simon MacDowall, author of
I use 25mm mostly and the Foundry figures (and most new ones now) are all in mail. If I were you I would paint the cuirasses iron or bronze, although my feeling is that such cuirasses were more likely only worn by officers, but of course we cannot be certain. There is pretty good evidence for iron muscled cuirasses and the yellow-brown ones that Phil Barker has mentioned could quite likely be bronze. There are 15mm figures in armour, the best are by Donnington which are actually based on my book. My favourite is the one based on Plate A with spangenhelm and scale armour. Donnington is pretty hit and miss, some of their figures are terrible, others excellent; their Late Romans are amongst their best. We cannot absolutely rule out rawhide cuirasses I just think it is a bit unlikely. I believe most or all Legionaries would have worn mail or scale and many auxiliaries would have as well, at least up untill the end of the 4th Century. 5th Century troops would probably have been less well equipped but there is hard evidence for armoured infantry in the East in the 5th C. - Simon
The following notes by Moramath were clipped from the rec.games.miniatures.historical newsgroup. He is commenting on recent historical reinterpretations of ancient sculptures which has led to the rejection of Barker's conclusions that Late Romans wore leather armor moulded like a breastplate:
I'm not current with the latest research, but don't despair if you have some of those figures, the old Phil Barker view is not impossible, but it is less likely and very unfashionable. If I ever get round to a DBA "End of Roman Britain" Army I'll be including a base or two of those lads to represent Six Victrix , for old time's sake and no better reason than in one of the museums in York one of the first things you used to see was a large sandstone statue of a chap exactly so equipped. This is conventionally identified as the god Mars, and the cuirass extends over the shoulders in a manner which is recognised as artistic convention as it's utterly impractical. There are, however, remarkably similar figures on fragments of a lost triumphal column incorporated in a Turkish bath in Constantinople whose kit looks more functional. As to what the cuirass was made of, that's another matter, but I seem to remember the Greeks in the mythological battle (Amazonmachy) on one of the Dura-Europos shields have what appears to be a yellow-brown cuirass and maybe petruges (but not at the shoulder), while the rest of their kit is pretty much mid third century AD.
(Editors Note: Comments on Red versus Unbleached Tunics):
Maybe bleached for Centurions (Centenarii?) and Officers with embroidery/aplique panels as per Barker, but also sometimes with another band along the bottom hem and a vertical strip similar to those on the chest running up the side seams from the hem to about two-thirds the way to the waist in "purple." "Purple" in this case can mean madder-based red-brown through to crimson for rankers, same or possibly proper murex based purple for officers. The circular patches on the thigh and cloak corners can, less frequently, be square or octagonal. There is some indication of even bigger patches on the cloak.
The current view seems to derive from Nick Fuentes paper "The Roman Military Tunic" published in M. Dawson "Roman Military Equipment: The Accoutrements of War (Proceedings of the Third Roman Military Equipment Research Seminar)" British Archaeological Reports International Series 336, Oxford, 1987. I haven't access to this volume but the conclusions are summarised on page 84 of Brassey's History of Uniforms - the Roman Army: The Wars of the Empire, (Graham Sumner, ISBN18575632120). Basically, it is that during the early Empire legionaries wore white, while centurions and officers wore white on parade, with centurions wearing red in the field. However, for the Late Empire red is not completely unattested, see Plate 7b in "Roman Military Equipment" by M C Bishop and J C Coulston (Batsford 1993, ISBN 0713466375) for a catacomb painting of a 4th Century soldier in a red tunic. According to the Brassey's volume mentioned above this chap was a soldier in an Auxilia Palatina. Slingshot 198 also has an article which includes descriptions of some painted Late Roman shields from Egypt which bear images of what appear to be wearing pinkish tunics, the same source confirming green for saddlecloths.
The still-classic reference for 4th-5th century Roman history is Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Also see Best of Gibbon's Decline and Fall).
Vegetius' manual, Epitoma Rei Militaris, describes the Roman military system at a point sometime between 383 - 450 AD. (Latin Text)

"Rush Limbaugh isn't going to be a part-owner of an NFL team thanks to the smears that were hurled at him by media voices and political opponents who didn't bother to see if the "evidence" against him was even true. Turns out, it wasn't.Even if what he was accused of saying was true, and it wasn't, he shouldn't have been disinvited as an investor because of beliefs or the exercise of free speech.If that is the new criteria for ownership of a sports team, then the NFL has a responsibility as the new version of the thought and speech police to investigate every investor who has even a partial bit of ownership in a team to determine if they have ever made a statement that is offensive to someone based on race, religion, ethnicity or gender."http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,568575,00.html

The highly educated daughter of a senator running for president, stepdaughter of an heiress, aspiring film director.
Sinclair herself was born in New York in 1948 and raised in Paris, an heiress to Rosenberg's art fortune.
Although married to the prominent French heiress and journalist Anne Sinclair, Strauss-Kahn was a libertine of the old school.
To get to watch (his heiress co-star) Jessica Chastain was a big inspiration.
And there is the trouble with Strauss-Kahn's money, or more accurately his heiress wife Anne Sinclair's fortune.
He left a child, Christian Stewart, who was now heiress of the earldom.
Do you think I have been trying the chauffeur trick in order to catch an heiress, sir?
It was indeed a fortunate lot to be heiress to such broad acres and so old a name.
By-the-by, I hear the Earl's daughter that lives here is an heiress.
Try a sniff—you'll know what it feels like to be old man Millinborn's heiress.

For years I wavered on caliber choice as far as what I wanted to look for in a precision bolt gun, but I basically had narrowed it to .308, 30.06, and .300 winmag. I honestly don't know too much about the .260/6.5mm cartridge.
I personally decided that I'd set my sights on one in .300 winmag, the primary reason being that I felt that the .308 platform was transitioning away from bolt to SA battle rifles. I guess I was right. And I'm not surprised to hear that they are performing as well as they are and that they're replacing the bolt guns on the battlefield, at least in .308.
I'm tempted to build one myself, but its a tossup. I could build a really nice SA .308, but I would probably be in the $5000-6000 range with optics by the end of it i think. At that rate, I'm into new or very nearly new Accuracy International bolt money and I think that's where I'd rather spend it, though probably a bit foolish.
The 6.5mm cartridges are all based on a .308win case necked down to a 6.5mm bullet. There are just different dimensions for the case. The main four cartridges that are being used are .260Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua and 6.5x284. If you want a bolt rifle and don't plan on going beyond 1200yds, I would recommend going with a 6.5mm bullet class. .260Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor are are the most commercially available. These loads have less recoil than .308, but they have a higher ballistic coefficient due to a much longer bullet design. The trajectory of a 6.5 out to 1000yds is around an 8 mRad drop (66" drop), while a 175gr .308 will be around 11 mRad (99" drop). The trajectory is actually flatter than the 190gr .300 Win Mag out to 1000yds. 6.5s also don't burn out the barrel very fast. .300WM are known to burn out barrels at around 1500-2000 rds, depending on barrel construction.
I read a report a while back where it was pointed out that if you wanted a magnum long range caliber, you were better off with the .338 Lapua. The barrels last nearly twice as long as the .300WM, and you have a better trajectory. Ammo is a more expensive, but if you handload/reload, it's about the same cost.
If you are looking at a .308 on a high end gun, you're almost better off looking at a semi-auto.
That, or consider a modular bolt action like a DTA SRS. You can get it in .260 or 6.5, maybe get another .308 or other caliber if you want, and then get a conversion kit for .300WM and .338LM. I am likely going to be picking up a DTA SRS down the line so I can have a .260 and a .338LM.

Per Dave Page's request of this morning, my CommitFest management application now has a real hostname (see subject line). I have also sent Dave an email with details of the install process and location of files, per his request (let me know if there's somewhere else those details should be posted). Brendan Jurd has graciously migrated all of the data from the CommitFest wiki page to the app by writing a script to parse the wiki markup and inserting the resulting data directly into the database. There are a few loose ends. The application stamps comments with the community login of the person who left them, but the import stamped them with names instead. This is actually of some significance, since the app will allow you to edit your own comments but not those of other people. We could probably fix this if someone can give us access to (or a dump of) the realname to username mappings from the community login DB. Also, we're currently missing the reviewer names due to limitations of the import script; Brendan is fixing this. Filling the DB with live data revealed a few warts. In particular, the original ordering of patches was alpha by topic and then alpha by name, which I thought would be OK, but upon seeing how it really looked, I hated it. So the topic manager now lets you set a sort order for commitfest topics, and the order is now numeric by topic sortorder, then alpha by topic, then by ascending patch ID (so the oldest patch comes up first within each topic section). Also, I originally had the topics displayed as a table column, but that didn't really work for me once I saw it either, so it's been reorganized to do it the same way the wiki does. We're still hacking on a few other details of the formatting and interface, but you might want to cruise over and have a look. Please however continue to make ALL CHANGES on the wiki, and not in the app. Brendan is going to manually move changes over to the new system incrementally until we get the kinks worked out. I think we're close, but we're not quite there yet. As a reminder, if you'd like to review or submit patches against the source, you can find it here: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=pgcommitfest.git;a=summary git://git.postgresql.org/git/pgcommitfest.git ...Robert
