Mr. CHAIRMAN, members and guests of the American Liberty League and my friends listening in, as I have been told by the newspapers, from all parts of the United States: At the outset of my remarks let me make one thing perfectly clear. I am not a candidate for any nomination by any party at any time, and what is more, I do not intend to even lift my right hand to secure any nomination from any party at any time. Further than that, I have no axe to grind. There is nothing personal in this whole performance in so far as I am concerned. I have no feeling against any man, woman or child in the United States. I am in possession of supreme happiness and comfort. I represent no group, no man, and I speak for no man or no group, but I do speak for what I believe to be the best interests of the great rank and file of the American people in which class I belong. Now, I am here tonight, also, because I have a great love for the United States of America. I love it for what I know it has meant to mankind since the day of its institution. I love it because I feel it has grown to be the great stabilizing force in world civilization. I love it above everything else for the opportunity that it offers to every man and every woman that desires to take advantage of it. No man that I know of or that I probably ever read of has any more reason to love it than I have. It kept the gateway open for me. It is a matter of common knowledge throughout the country, and I do not state it boastfully, because it is well known, that, deprived by poverty in my early years of an education, that gatewaj' showed me how it was possible to go from a newsboy on the sidewalks of New York to the w Governorship of the greatest state in the Union. Now listen: I have five children and I have ten grandchildren, and you take it from me, I want that gate left open not alone for mine I am not selfish about it not for mine, but for every boy and girl in the country, and in that respect I am no different from every father and mother in the United States. Think it over for a minute. Figure it out for yourself. It is possible for your children's success to be your success. I remember distinctly my first inauguration as Governor of New York. I am not sure that the young folks understood it thoroughly, but there were three people at that inauguration that did understand it, and one was my mother, the other was my sister, and the third was my wife. They understood. They were with me in all of the early struggles. Now, I am here for another reason. I am here because I am a Democrat. I was born in the Democratic party and I expect to die in it. I was attracted to it in my youth because I was led to believe that no man owned it, and furthermore that no group of men owned it, but, on the other hand, that it belonged to all the plain people of the United States. I must make a confession. It is not easy for me to stand up here tonight and talk to the American people against the Democratic administration. That is not easy. It hurts me. But I can call upon innumerable witnesses to testify to the fact that during my whole public life I put patriotism above partisanship. And when I see danger I say "danger," that is, the "Stop, look and listen" to the fundamental principles upon which this government of ours was organized it is difficult for me to refrain from speaking up. • Now, what are these dangers that I see? The first is the arraignment of class against class. 4 It has been freely predicted that if we were ever to have civil strife again in this country, it would come from the appeal to passion and prejudice that comes from the demagogue that would incite one class of our people against the other. In my time I have met some good and bad industrialists; I have met some good and bad financiers, but I have also met some good and bad laborers. And this I know, that permanent prosperity is dependent upon both capital and labor alike. I also know that there can be no permanent prosperity in this country until industry is able to employ labor, and there certainly can be no permanent recovery upon any governmental theory of soak the rich or soak the poor. Even the children in our high schools and let it be said to the glory of our educational institutions that even the children in our high schools know that you can't soak capital without soaking labor at the same time. The next thing that I view as being dangerous to our national well-being is government by bureaucracy instead of what we have been taught to look for, government by law. Just let me quote something from the President's message to Congress: "In thirty-four months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a people's government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people." Now, I interpret that to mean: If you are going to have an autocrat, take me, but be very careful about the other fellow. There is a complete answer to that, and it rises in the minds of the great rank and file, and that answer is just this: We will never in this country tolerate any law that provides shackles for our people. We don't want any autocrats, 5 either in or out of office; we wouldn't even take a good one. The next danger that is apparent to me is the vast building up of new bureaus of government, draining the resources of our people into a common pool and redistributing them, not by any process of law, but by the whim of a bureaucratic autocracy. ^^ELL, now, what am I here for? I am here not to find fault. Anybody can do that. I am here to make suggestions. Now, what would I have my party do? I would have them re-establish and rede-clare the principles that they put forth in that 1932 platform. Even our Republican friends and I know many of them, they talk to me freely, we have our little confidences among ourselves they have all agreed that it is the most compact, the most direct, and the most intelligent political platform that was ever put forth by any political party in this country. The Republican platform was ten times as long; it was stuffy, it was unreadable, and in many points, not understandable, and no administration in the history of the country came into power with a more simple, a more clear, or a more inescapable mandate than did the party that was inaugurated on the 4th of March in 1933. And listen, no candidate in the history of the country ever pledged himself more unequivocally to his party platform than did the President that was inaugurated on that day. Well, here we are. Millions and millions of Democrats just like myself, all over the country, still believe in that platform, and what we want to know is why it wasn't carried out. And listen, there is only one man in the United States of America that can answer that question. It won't do to pass it down to an undersecretary. I won't even recognize him when I hear his name. I won't know where he came from. I will be sure that he never lived down in my district. ]NoW, let us wander for a little while and let's take a look at that platform, and let's see what happened to it. Here is the way it started out: "We believe that a party platform is a covenant with the people, to be faithfully kept by the party when entrusted with power, and that the people are entitled to know in plain words the terms of the contract to which they are asked to subscribe. The Democratic Party solemnly promises by appropriate action to put into effect the principles, policies and reforms herein advocated and to eradicate the political methods and practices herein condemned." My friends, these are what we call fighting words. At the time that the platform went through the air and over the wire, the people of the United States were in the lowest possible depths of despair, and the Democratic platform looked to them like the star of hope; it looked like the rising sun in the East to the mariner on the bridge of a ship after a terrible night. But what happened to it? FlRST plank: "We advocate the immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditure by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating extravagance, to accomplish a saving of not less than twenty-five per cent in the cost of the Federal Government." Well, now, what is the fact? No offices were consolidated, no bureaus were eliminated but on the other hand the alphabet was exhausted in the creation of new departments. And this is sad news for the taxpayer the cost, the ordinary cost, what we refer to as housekeeping cost, over and above all emergencies that ordinary housekeeping cost of government is greater today than it has ever been in any time in the history of the republic. Another plank: "We favor maintenance of the national credit by a Federal budget annually balanced on the basis of accurate Executive estimates within revenue." How can you balance a budget if you insist upon spending more money than you take in? Even the increased revenue won't go to balance the budget because it is "hocked" before you receive it. What is worse than that, we have borrowed, we owe something; we have borrowed so that we have reached a new high peak of Federal indebtedness for all time. Well, that wouldn't annoy me so very much ordinarily. When I was Governor of New York they found a lot of fault with me because I borrowed a lot of money. That wouldn't worry me. H it solved our prohlem and we were out of trouble I would say "All right, let 'er go." But the sin of it is that we have the indebtedness and at the end of three years we are just where we started. Unemployment and the farm problem we stiU have with us. Now, here is something that I want to say to the rank and file. There are three classes of people in this country; there is the poor and rieh, and in between the two is what has often been referred to as the great backbone of America, that is, the plain fellow. That is the fellow that makes from one hundred dollars a month up to the man that draws down five or six thousand dollars a year. They are the great army. Forget the rich; they can't pay this debt. If you took everything they have away from them, they couldn't pay it; there ain't enough of them, and furthermore they ain't got enough. There is no use talking about the poor; they wiU never pay it because they have got nothing. This debt is going to be paid by that great big middle class that we refer to as the backbone and the rank and file, and the sin of it is that they ain't going to know they are paying it. It is going to come to them in the form of indirect and hidden taxation. It will come to them in the cost of living, in the cost of clothing, in the cost of every activity that they enter into, and because it is not a direct tax, they won't think they're paying it. But, take it from me, they are going to pay it. Another plank: "We advocate the extension of Federal credit to the states to provide unemployment relief where the diminishing resources of the states make it impossible for them to provide for their needs." That was pretty plain. That was a recognition in the national convention of the rights of the states. But how is it interpreted? The Federal Government took over most of the relief problems, some of them useful and most of them useless. They started out to prime the pump for industry in order to absorb the ranks of the unemployed, and at the end of three years their affirmative policy is absolutely nothing better than the negative policy of the Administration that preceded them. "We favor unemployment and old-age insurance under state laws." Now, let me make myself perfectly clear, so that no demagogue or no crackpot in the next week or so will be able to say anything about my attitude on this kind of legislation. I am in favor of it, and I take my hat off to no man in the United States on the question of legislation beneficial to the poor, the weak, the sick or the afflicted, or men, women and children. Because why? I started out a quarter of a century ago when I had very few followers in my state, and during that period I advocated, fought for, introduced as a legislator, and finally, as Governor for eight long years, signed more progressive legislation in the interest of men, women and children than any man in the State of New York. And the sin of this whole thing and the part of it that worries me and gives me concern is that this haphazard, hurry-up passage of legislation is never going to accomplish the purposes for which it was designed. And bear this in mind, follow the platform "under state laws!" Here is another one: "We promise the enactment of every coustitutional measure that will aid the farmers to receive for their basic farm commodities prices in excess of cost." Well, what is the use of talking about that? "Promise every constitutional measure I" The Supreme Court disposed of that within the last couple of weeks, and, according to the papers the other day, some brilliant individual has conceived the idea of how to get around the Constitution. We are going to have forty-eight A.A.A.'s, one for each state. The day that the United States Supreme Court decided that case I left my office to attend a meeting of a board of trustees of a hospital downtown that I am interested in, and as I stepped into the taxicah the driver was reading the extra, "Supreme Court Declares A.A.A. Unconstitutional." We rode along for a few minutes and we got about three blocks from my office and we got caught in a red light and had to stand still, and the taxi driver turned around and looked at me and said, "Governor, ain't there any lawyers in Congress any more?" Just then the light changed, and I was afraid to answer him for fear I might disconcert him, but I was all ready to say, "Yes, son, but they don't function." e HAVE got another plank "We advocate strengthening and impartial enforcement of the anti-trust laws." What happened? Why, the NRA just put 10 a gas bag on the anti-trust laws and put them fast asleep, and nobody said anything about it. I don't know whether they are good or whether they are bad, but I know they didn't work. Another one: "We promise the removal of Government from all fields of private enterprise except where necessary to develop public works and national resources in the common interest." nra, a vast octopus set up by Government, that wound its arms around all the business of the country, paralyzing big business, and choked little business to death. Did you read in the papers a short time ago where somebody said that business was going to get a breathing spell? What is the meaning of that? And where did that expression arise? I'll tell you where it comes from. It comes from the prize ring. When the aggressor is punching the head off the other fellow, he suddenly takes compassion on him and he gives him a breathing spell before he delivers the knockout wallop. Here is another one: "We condemn the open and covert resistance of administrative officials to every effort made by Congressional committees to curtail the extravagant expenditures of governmental and improvident subsidies granted to private interests." Now, just between ourselves, do you know any administrative officer that has tried to stop Congress from appropriating money? Do you think there has been any desire on the part of Congress to curtail appropriations? Why, not at all. The fact is that Congress approved them right and left didn't even tell what they were for. And the truth further is that every administrative officer sought to get all that he possibly could in order to expand the activities of his own office and throw the money of the people right and left. And, as to subsidies, why, never at any time in the history of this or any other country were there so many subsidies granted to private groups and on such a huge scale. The fact of the matter is that most of the cases now pending before the United States Supreme Court revolve around the point of whether or not it is proper for Congress to tax all the people to pay subsidies to a particular group. Here is another one: "We condemn the extravagance of the Farm Board, its disastrous action which made the government a speculator in farm products, and the unsound policy of restricting agricultural products to the demands of domestic markets." Listen, 111 let you in on something. This hasn't leaked out yet, so kind of keep it to yourself until you get the news. On the first of February we are going to own 4,005,000 bales of cotton. The cost is $270,000,000. And we have been such brilliant speculators that we are paying thirteen cents a pound for it, when you add storage and carrying charges, and it can be bought at any one of the ten cotton markets of the South today for eleven and a half cents. Some speculators! What about the restriction of our agricultural products to the demands of the domestic market? Why, the fact about that is that we shut out entirely the foreign market, and by plowing under corn and wheat and the destruction of foodstuffs, food from foreign countries has been pouring into our American markets food that should have been purchased by us from our own farmers. In other words, while some of the countries of the Old World were attempting to drive the wolf of hunger from the doormat, the United States of America flew in the face of God's bounty and destroyed its own foodstuffs. There can be no question about that. Now, I could go on indefinitely with some of the other planks. They are unimportant, and 12 the radio time will not permit it. But just let me sum up this way: Regulation of the Stock Exchange and the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, plus one or two minor planks of the platform that in no way touch the daily life of our people, have been carried out, but the balance of the platform was thrown in the wastebasket. About that there can be no question. TjET'S see how it was carried out. Make a test for yourselves. Just get the platform of the Democratic Party, and get the platform of the Socialist Party, and lay them down on your dining-room table, side by side, and get a heavy lead pencil and scratch out the word "Democratic" and scratch out the word "Socialist," and let the two platforms lay there. Then study the record of the present Administration up to date. After you have done that, make your mind up to pick up the platform that more nearly squares with the record, and you will put your hand on the Socialist platform. You couldn't touch the Democratic. And, incidentally, let me say that is not the first time in recorded history that a group of men have stolen the livery of the church to do the work of the devil. If you study this whole situation, you will find that that is at the bottom of all of our troubles. This country was organized on the principles of a representative democracy, and you can't mix socialism or communism with that. They are like oil and water. They refuse to mix. And, incidentally, let me say to you, that is the reason why the United States Supreme Court is working overtime throwing the alphabet out the window three letters at a time. Now, I am going to let you in on something else. How do you suppose all this happened? Here is the way it happened: The young brain trusters caught the Socialists in swimming and they ran away with their clothes. 13 It is all right with me. It is all right with me if they want to disguise themselves as Norman Thomas or Karl Marx, or Lenin, or any of the rest of that bunch, but what I won't stand for is allowing them to march under the banner of Jefferson, Jackson or Cleveland. What is worrying me is where does that leave us millions of Democrats? My mind is now fixed upon the convention in June in Philadelphia. The committee on resolutions is about to report, and the preamble to the platform is: "We, the representatives of the Democratic Party, in convention assembled, heartily indorse the Democratic Administration." What happens to the disciples of Jefferson and Jackson and Cleveland when that resolution is read out? Why, for us it is a washout. There is only one of two things we can do. We can either take on the mantle of hypocrisy or we can take a walk, and we will probably do the latter. NOW, leave the platform alone for a Utile while. What about this attack that has been made upon the fundamental institutions of this country? Who threatened them, and did we have any warning of this threat? Why, you don't have to study party platforms. You don't have to read books. You don't have to listen to professors of economics. You will find the whole thing incorporated in the greatest declaration of political principles that ever came from the hands of man, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Always have in your mind that the Constitution and the first ten amendments to it were drafted by refugees and by sons of refugees, by men with bitter memories of European oppression and hardship, by men who brought to this country and handed down to their descendants an abiding fear of arbitrary centralized government and autocracy. And, listen, all the bitterness and all the 14 hatred of the Old World was distilled in our Constitution into the purest democracy that the world has ever known. There are just three principles, and in the interest of brevity I will read them. I can read them quicker than I can talk them. "First, a Federal government strictly limited in its power, with all other powers except those expressly mentioned reserved to the states and to the people, so as to insure state's rights, guarantee home rule, and preserve freedom of individual initiative and local control." That is simple enough. The difference between the state constitutions and the Federal Constitution is that in the state you can do anything you want to do provided it is not prohibited by the Constitution. But in the Federal government, according to that document, you can do only that which that Constitution tells you that you can do. What is the trouble? Congress has overstepped its powers. It went beyond that constitutional limitation, and it has enacted laws that not only violate that, but violate the home rule and the state's rights principle. And who says that? Do I say it? Not at aU. That was said by the United States Supreme Court in the last ten or twelve days. SECONDLY, a government with three independent branches; Congress to make the laws, the Executive to execute them, the Supreme Court, and so forth. You know that. In the name of heaven, where is the independence of Congress ? Why, they just laid right down. They are flatter on the Congressional floor than the rug on the table here. They surrendered aU of their powers to the Executive, and that is the reason why you read in the newspapers references to Congress as the rubber-stamp Congress. We all know that the most important bills 15 were drafted by the brain trusters and sent over to Congress and passed by Congress without consideration, without debate, and without meaning any offense at all to my Democratic brethren in Congress, I think I can safely say without ninety per cent of them knowing what was in the bills, what was the meaning of the list that came over. And beside certain bills was "must." What does that mean? Speaking for the rank and file of American people, we don't want any Executive to tell Congress what it must do, and we don't want any Congress to tell the Executive what he must do, and we don't want Congress or the Executive jointly or severally to tell the United States Supreme Court what it must do. And, on the other hand, we don't want the United States Supreme Court to tell either of them what they must do. What we want, and what we insist upon, and what we are going to have, is the absolute preservation of this balance of power which is the keystone, the arch upon which the whole theory of democratic government has got to rest, and when you rattle it, you rattle the whole structure. f HE third one is methods of amending the Constitution. Of course, when our forefathers wrote the Constitution of the United States it couldn't be possible that they had it in their minds that that was going to be all right for all time to come, so they said, "Now, we will provide a manner and method of amending it." That is set forth in the document itself, and during our national life we amended it many times. We amended it once by mistake, and we corrected the mistake. What did we do? We took the amendment out. Fine! That is the way we want to do it, by recourse to the people. But we don't want an Administration that takes a shot at it in the dark, and that ducks away from it and dodges away from it and tries to put something over in contradiction of it upon any theory that there is going to be a great public howl in favor of it, and it is possible 16 that the United States Supreme Court may be intimidated into a friendly opinion with respect to it. But I have held all during my public life that Almighty God is with this country and He didn't give us that kind of Supreme Court. N OW, this is pretty tough for me to have to go at my own party this way, but I submit that there is a limit to blind loyalty. As a young man in the Democratic Party, I witnessed the rise and faU of Bryan and Bryan-ism, and I know exactly what Bryan did to our party. I knew how long it took to build it after he got finished with it. But let me say this to the everlasting credit of Bryan and the men that followed him, they had the nerve and the courage and the honesty to put into the platform just what their leaders stood for, and they further put the American people into a position of making an intelligent choice when they went to the polls. Why, the fact of this whole thing is (I speak now not only of the Executive but of the Legislature at the same time) that they promised one set of things, they repudiated that promise, and they launched off on a program of action totaUy different. Well, in twenty-five years of experience, I have known both parties to fail to carry out some of the planks of their platform, but this is the first time that I have known a party, upon such a huge scale, to not only fail to carry out the planks, but to do the directly opposite thing to what they promised. IN OW, suggestions and I make these as a Democrat anxious for the success of my party, and I make them in good faith. Here are my suggestions: Number 1: I suggest to the members of my party on Capitol Hill here in Washington that they take their mind off the Tuesday that follows the first Monday in November. Just take 17 your mind off it to the end that you may do the right thing and not the expedient thing. Next, I suggest to them that they dig up the 1932 platform from the grave that they buried it in, read it over, and study it, breathe life into it, and follow it in legislative and executive action, to the end that they make good their promises to the American people when they put forth that platform, and the candidate that stood upon it, one hundred per cent. In short, make good. Third, I would suggest that they stop compromising with the fundamental principles laid down by Jackson, Jefferson and Cleveland. Fourth, stop attempting to alter the form and structure of our government without recourse to the people themselves as provided in their own constitution. This country belongs to the people, and it doesn't belong to any administration. Next, I suggest that they read their oath of office to support the Constitution of the United States. And I ask them to remember that they took the oath with their hands on the Holy Bible, thereby calling upon God Almighty Himself to witness their solemn promise. It is bad enough to disappoint us. Sixth, I suggest that from this moment on they resolve to make the Constitution again the civil bible of the United States and pay it the same civil respect and reverence that they would religiously pay the Holy Scripture, and I ask them to read from Holy Scripture the parable of the prodigal son and to follow his example. "Stop! Stop wasting your substance in a foreign land and come back to your father's house." Now, in conclusion, let me give this solemn warning. There can be only one Capital Washington or Moscow. There can be only one atmosphere of government, the clear, pure, fresh air of free America or the foul breath of Communistic Russia. There can be only one flag, the Stars and Stripes, or the red flag of the godless union of the Soviet. There can be only one national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner or the Internationale. There can be only one victor. If the Constitution wins, we win, but if the Constitution Stop! Stop there! The Constitution can't lose. The fact is, it has already won, but the news has not reached certain ears. 18 19 PAMPHLETS AVAILABLE £OPIES of the following pamphlets and other League literature may be obtained upon application to the League's national headquarters.

Amazon Fail of a Different Sort
Friday, July 24th, 2009
I love the idea of the Kindle as a device that can instantly connect me to any and every book out there. At least 60% of my reading takes place on a computer of some sort, either through pdf ebooks or fanfic. All my news comes from the screen, and the idea of having a device built for comfortable reading that fits in my purse and links me wirelessly to all that is an extremely appealing thought.
Tethered devices are not necessarily all good, though, as Kindle owners are discovering. Tethered devices don't only mean you can reach in and grab what you want from the cloud, it also means the cloud can reach down to your Kindle and grab it back.
Recently, Amazon remotely removed digital copies of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm because of a rights issue, refunding all the users their $0.99 back. The symbolism was not lost on anyone, particularly the news media and the affected Kindle customers. The uproar has been significant enough that Amazon released a statement promising they will stop deleting the already-downloaded books on user's Kindles when they delete rights-violating content from their archives.
This is not the first time Amazon has removed books from user's Kindles, but it got the most press for the obvious ironic reasons. Some people don't get why this is an issue, but consider how this affects ownership. When you buy a physical book and take it home, even if it's pulled off the shelves the minute you walk out the store, no one comes round demanding the return of the already purchased ones. Once you've bought it, you own that copy. Book burning is a serious yet mostly symbolic affair, largely because copies always survive. Someone finds a copy in their attic or hides one under their bed.
A world where books are tethered to devices is problematic because it allows someone to take back those books — all of them — quickly and efficiently, without warning. You may not even realize it's missing. The ebooks you buy don't really belong to you, not the same way real paper books do. This is how book burning will look in the future, when everything is published via data instead of as ink. Remember how much AmazonFail sucked? Think how much worse it would have been if someone had ticked the wrong box in their content admin tool and deleted all those books from thousands of people's personal libraries. Some day (and probably some day soon) someone will write a letter or make a phone call complaining about some book or other, and an underpaid and overworked manager will log on and click the delete button without really considering the ramifications, and next time there might not be a way to take it back.
This problem doesn't just affect books. It affects applications (Apple, a company I love dearly, has some serious issues in this regard when it comes to iPhone apps and it makes me furious), music, and gaming every day. This is the way companies will seek to control their copyright in the future, with tethered devices and back doors.
Please do not hand wave this issue off. Pay attention to it, because it affects everyone. Understand that an age of cloud-computing is descending where everything is computer-based and everything is connected and everything is stored somewhere else. Google docs are wonderful tools, but Google can easily remove the content you've built or the service entire. Livejournal can delete years of personal journaling, writing and art, and no matter what you say or how loudly you complain they don't have to give it back to you. That "right" is build into the user agreements no one reads but everyone accepts when they sign up for a service.
Be aware of how the world is changing, not just how it benefits but also how it restricts. We're not just talking about books and music, we're talking about the fundamentals of ownership.

When we were parents on the scholarship trail for our twin sons, we didn't have the resources that are available today.
For instance, college websites weren't as complete as they are now. I don't think Facebook existed. We really had to dig. We needed personal conversations with coaches and administrative staff to really get a picture of that school. Today, you've got just about everything at your fingertips. Continue reading

They refcount the number of times the FILE bucket has been split/copied, they don't refcount the number of times the underlying apr_file_t object is used. APR does not seem to be consistent about of whether "ownership" of the object is passed on when you create a bucket wrapper for that object type; there are no API guarantees or constraints here. From a quick review, PIPE, MMAP, HEAP (kind of) do take ownership, FILE and SOCKET do not. Have you run the perl-framework test suite to see whether this breaks anything? This change does look like it'll break the APR test suite but only because of the way I happened to write one of the buckets tests. Regards, Joe

|Batik problems in Cocoon 2.2
|Tue, 19 Oct 2010 20:05:43 GMT
Hello, I'm trying to get Batik 1.7 running in Cocoon 2.2. I think I should start from the beginning. I'm moving from Cocoon 2.1 to 2.2 (2.2 uses maven for everything), I created the webapp and tried to use the fop-block in cocoon but the fop version it wants to use is 0.20.5 and batik-1.6. The problem is that with that combination embedded SVGs wont work in fop. I downloaded the fop-ng-block and now have a working cocoon 2.2 with fop-1.0 and batik-1.7. My problem is that now the SVGSerializer (converts SVG to jpeg) part of cocoon does not work. It gives me the following error: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.startElement(SAXDocumentFactory.java:563) ..... The problem is in this part of startElement() for some reason, parser is null: if (inProlog) { inProlog = false; try { isStandalone = parser.getFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/is-standalone"); } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException ex) { } try { xmlVersion = (String) parser.getProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/document-xml-version"); } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException ex) { } } I moved both trys to the createDocument(InputSource is) since it just saves those 2 values (why are those trys in startElement and not createDocument?). After moving both trys thingts moved along and it crashes on the transcoding part. The error I get is: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.batik.dom.GenericElement cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.svg.SVGSVGElement the code for transcode is: public void notify(Document doc) throws SAXException { try { TranscoderInput transInput = new TranscoderInput(doc); // Buffering is done by the pipeline (See shouldSetContentLength) TranscoderOutput transOutput = new TranscoderOutput(this.output); transcoder.transcode(transInput, transOutput); } catch (TranscoderException ex) { ... } catch (Exception ex) { ... } } after reading through a lot of posts I found one saying DOMUtilities.deepCloneDocument would convert dom to Batik's own DOM and do the transcode. I changed the TransocderInput constructor to this: TranscoderInput transInput = new TranscoderInput(DOMUtilities.deepCloneDocument(doc,SVGDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation())); but it still gives me the same error, so I'm officially stuck. I hope someone here can help me, asked at the cocoon list 3 times and got no response. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

As published on startups.co.uk, 12 February 2015
Lowdownapp Ltd is the company behind a digital personal assistant for your smartphone. The Lowdown app includes a HERE button that enables users to alert contacts to their arrival at a location; there is also a standalone check-in app, called HERE. Lowdownapp is made by a small development team in the UK.
Nokia is one of the biggest and best-known global consumer electronics brands. Nokia HERE is the third-biggest mapping service in the world, behind Google Maps and Apple Maps. Nokia employs more than 60,000 people; its operating income in 2014 was more than €1.6bn.
In January, Nokia served Lowdownapp with a threat of legal action if it did not remove its HERE app from global app stores and rebrand the HERE functionality in its flagship product.
Nokia claimed that Lowdownapp's branding was "likely to deceive", that it amounted to misrepresentation and passing off, and that it made a mockery both of the £8m Nokia had invested in establishing its own HERE brand and of the relevant trade marks it had registered.
Lowdownapp CEO David Senior branded Nokia's behaviour "ludicrous" and "heavy-handed", calling out the company as a textbook corporate bully.
On the surface, it is a classic case of David versus Goliath. But is this a fight that David can realistically win?

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a potential Republican presidential candidate, has inked a deal to write a book about limited government.
The tentative title for the two-term governor's book is Keeping the Republic: Limited Government, Unlimited Citizens. Daniels and The Sentinel imprint of the Penguin Group announced the book, which is scheduled to come out in late September.
"I"m offering these thoughts only because I am desperately alarmed about the condition and direction of the American republic," Daniels said in a statement. "... I devoutly believe there is a route to renewal, a way to reconstruct both our economy and an ethic of citizenship that will preserve both prosperity and liberty."
Daniels would be the latest GOP White House hopeful to pen a book in advance of next year's elections. Republicans Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich have all been out on book tours during the past few months.
Daniels was represented in his book negotiations by Washington lawyer Robert Barnett, who has crafted book deals for Republicans and Democrats.

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: Masculine vs. Feminine Energy
Most people understand that there are male and female energies in the world -- that they are different, complimentary, and each come with their fair share of strengths and weaknesses. And that energy is different from stereotypes. We're not talking bodies, men vs. women, tough vs. emotional, husband vs. wife, or lovers. We're talking about the inherent nature and expression of masculine and feminine creative energies.
Most people understand that there are male and female energies in the world, but most people don't understand that both male and female energies exist within every single person. When I have to check the male or female box, I check female. But I also know that I have plenty of male energy circulating within me, twirling around the female energy, and that this unique dance -- the rhythm, the pace, the frequency -- is what makes me me.
Masculine energy is a straight line. It is sharp corners and angles. It goes in one direction and it takes it's time getting there.
Feminine energy is fluid. It is swirls and curves and is energized and fast, moving in several directions at once.
Masculine energy is the Moon -- mobile and dynamic, with the ability to affect the individual's enterprise and psychological development. Masculinity rules the left side of the brain: logic, thought, risk and rush.
Feminine energy is the Sun -- radiance and warmth, with the ability to bring life into this world and nurture it with it's fundamental nutrients. Femininity rules the right side of the brain: being, understanding, feeling and nurturing.
Without feminine energy, masculine energy is not whole, and visa versa. Like our soul sister Cleo Wade said to us, "It all goes back to the old saying: 'Men and women are like your left and right feet — they're different, but you need them both to get from place to place.'" And yet, again, we're not talking about men and women (but aren't we?!?!), we're talking about that delicate balance that dances inside of you and allows you to feel complete, secure, and inspired.
Without adequate feminine energy, you don't feel connected, valued, nurtured, or appreciated. Your intuition seems irrelevant, and quite frankly, non-existent. Without adequate male energy you don't feel supported, focused, purposeful, or successful. Your work ethic seems lackluster, inconsequential, and quite frankly, non-existent.
And as is everything else in life, this balance inside of you is delicate. There are periods of your life where you will step more into your masculine energy; your strength, focus, and risk-taking. And then there are periods where your feminine, more patient, kind, and telepathic energy will shine bright like a diamond. Curious as to when it is time to allow various sides of you to shine? Book an appointment with an energy healer or astrologer who can help provide a little insight as to what lays ahead and what energy would be more beneficial to let flow a little more. Or, take some time to tune deeper into what you authentically need (yes, easier said than done). But take a look at the list below to see which characteristics call your name as characteristics you know well, and characteristics you need to call in. Look at your life and identify the pillars in which you could benefit from a stronger sense of Self, and the pillars that are begging for you to value and nurture others.
And while you're on this journey (because a beautifully endless journey it is) learning more about yourself, and playing with this new ebb and flow of masculine vs. feminine creative energies, use this knowledge to help better understand your tribe -- the people you have chosen to surround yourself with. Identify your loved ones whose energy needs a balancing act, and see where you then may be able to help shift their point of view (ahem, that's my inner feminine speaking). Use the female energy to teach, the male energy to motivate, and the HEART to understand that, regardless of which box you check, finding a personal balance that feeds, nourishes, and inspires you is always an energetic exchange.

Appeal hearing in midwives' legal battle
Last February, Lady Smith, sitting in the Outer House of the Court of Session, ruled that the midwifery sisters did not have the protection of the Act's conscience clause, and so must accept the hospital management's instruction to supervise staff midwives in performing abortion procedures. They are not required, the judge ruled, to provide direct "hands on" assistance, but could be expected to allocate staff midwives to carry out abortions, and give those midwives support and advice throughout the procedure. The abortion procedure in question usually involves the administration of several drugs and typically takes a day to complete.
The appellants' legal costs are being underwritten by SPUC. People wishing to make donations towards the midwives' legal costs should telephone SPUC on +44 (0)20 7091 7091 or donate online.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- With the ever-increasing prominence of its reputation as "DBU," it's no surprise LSU continues to garner interest from defensive back prospects.
The Tigers' appeal knows no geographic boundaries, as they proved this past week in extending a scholarship offer to Priest Willis (Tempe, Ariz./Marcos De Niza).
Despite being based in Arizona, Willis said he is looking at programs all across the country, and LSU definitely falls into a watch list that includes teams in the SEC, Big Ten, Big XII and Pac-12.
"I'm interested in any school. I just want to find the best situation for me," Willis said.
As unusual as it might be for LSU to land a prospect from the West Coast, Willis said he's unconcerned by distance when it comes to making his college choice. Although he's lived in Arizona most of his life, Willis' mother is from Wisconsin.
"Location is not a problem for me," he said. "I've got family everywhere. I've got family in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Alabama, Florida, California … location is nothing."
That's good news for LSU, who called Willis to offer a scholarship last week. Willis said the coaching staff had heard rave review about his abilities.
"I could tell they were a great coaching staff, and I was just really glad I got the opportunity to talk to them and get a scholarship offer," he said.
It's safe to say Willis has become familiar with LSU, despite his location. Living in Tempe, Willis said he couldn't help but take notice of former LSU standout and current Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who earned a Pro Bowl selection in his rookie year.
Willis said he's looking at LSU on its own merits, however, and not just its successful alums.
"I don't even think about that," he said. "I just think about the program itself, what have they done in the past years, and academically what have they done with their student-athletes."
Willis said he has talked to LSU recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson, who highlighted the junior's physical attributes. Willis checks in at about 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, fitting him right into the mold of big, physical defensive backs to come through LSU recently.
"They just said they liked big, physical guys like me," he said. "I'm very versatile, and they can't just put me at corner, they can put me at safety. They can move me around, and so I have a higher stock value for them."
To keep that stock value up, Willis said the next 10 months will be all about self-improvement.
"Get in the gym and go 100 percent," he said on his plans for the future. "I need to get with people and work on my technique -- stay in the gym and work harder. If you go hard in the gym, that stuff will translate to the field."
With the offer in hand, Willis said he hopes he can find the time to make a trip to Baton Rouge in the spring or summer. If he can manage the long trip from Arizona to Louisiana, he said he will be sure to come, but he doesn't have any definite plans.
"We'll just have to figure something out," he said. "Right now, it's still early in the process and you don't know what could happen."

Lenovo eyes global push as earnings surge 12-fold
PC giant posts surprise first-quarter profit of US$67m
Lenovo Group, the world's third-largest personal computer supplier, will sharpen its focus on the international consumer market next year, emboldened by a fiscal first-quarter net profit that grew a better than expected 12-fold thanks to robust sales to small businesses.
Marking the company's first double-digit sales growth since it bought IBM's personal computer business two years ago, net revenue for the company rose 1,184 per cent in the three months to June to US$67 million from US$5 million a year earlier. Turnover reached US$3.92 billion, up 13 per cent.
The company was expected to post net income of US$20.4 million, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
William Amelio, president and chief executive at Lenovo, attributed the company's strong quarterly performance to robust sales growth worldwide, as the company bolstered marketing to small businesses.
Lenovo seized an 8.3 per cent market share in the quarter, shipping 4.87 million PC units, up 22.3 per cent from a year earlier, to regain its standing as the world's No3 from Taiwanese rival Acer, according to preliminary estimates from market researcher International Data Corp.
Mr Amelio also credited 'the steps we have taken for enhanced operational efficiency and expense control', which included plans to cut or redeploy about 5 per cent of Lenovo's global workforce, announced in April. The company took a US$45 million restructuring charge in the quarter, but estimated the amount would be smaller in the three months to September.
'We will not only improve the competitiveness of our existing business, but also actively expand the consumer business worldwide,' said Lenovo chairman Yang Yuanqing, noting that the segment accounts for only 20 per cent of the company's business, compared with more than 40 per cent for its rivals.
He said new Lenovo-brand consumer notebooks will start shipping in key international markets in January next year and a fresh batch of consumer desktops will follow in March or April. 'Our consumer business outside China is either very limited or non-existent,' Mr Yang said.
Venugopal Garre, a research analyst at Credit Suisse, said that strategy would help increase Lenovo's market share over the next few years. He added that Lenovo's margins would come under pressure, 'given the rising costs of commodity components - such as batteries, displays and memory'.
Lenovo also faces increased competition from the world's two leading personal computer suppliers, Hewlett-Packard and Dell, which are expanding aggressively into lower-tier cities across the mainland and building up their consumer business worldwide.
Driven by mainland demand, notebook computers continued to be the largest contributor to total revenue in the quarter, with US$2.1 billion in sales. Revenue from desktop computers was US$1.7 billion.
Revenue from the company's mainland mobile phone business was down 35 per cent to US$113 million on sales of 2.1 million units.
Separately, Lenovo yesterday also named Tian Suning, chairman and founder of private equity fund China Broadband Capital Partners, as an independent non-executive director. He started the fund after stepping down as chief executive of China Netcom, the mainland's No 2 fixed-line phone operator.
Lenovo shares fell 6.25 per cent to HK$5.10 yesterday. The results were announced during the lunchtime market break.

"Twana Blevins," is a real low-life for stealing this story and taking credit. Especially since she/he changes the story to not specifically inform the people as to what device it actually was. Causing paranoia and fear into everybody who has a laptop (of any sort). The model used was a
dell 600m laptop
What an idiot.
Original story here.
"I was opening up my almost brand new Dell 600m laptop, to replace a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard. As soon as I got the keyboard off, I noticed a small cable running from the keyboard connection underneath a piece of metal protecting the motherboard.
I figured "No Big Deal", and continued with the dissasembly. But when I got the metal panels off, I saw a small white heatshink-wrapped package. Being ever-curious, I sliced the heatshrink open. I found a little circuit board inside.
Being an EE by trade, this piqued my curiosity considerably. On one side of the board, one Atmel AT45D041A four megabit Flash memory chip.
On the other side, one Microchip Technology PIC16F876 Programmable Interrupt Controller, along with a little Fairchild Semiconductor CD4066BCM quad bilateral switch.
Looking further, I saw that the other end of the cable was connected to the integrated ethernet board.
What could this mean? I called Dell tech support about it, and they said, and I quote, "The intregrated service tag identifier is there for assisting customers in the event of lost or misplaced personal information." He then hung up.
A little more research, and I found that that board spliced in between the keyboard and the ethernet chip is little more than a Keyghost hardware keylogger.
The reasons Dell would put this in thier laptops can only be left up to your imagination. It would be very impractical to hand-anylze the logs, and very CPU-intensive to do so on a computer for every person that purchased a dell laptop. Why are these keyloggers here? I recently almost found out.
I called the police, as having a keylogger unknown to me in my laptop is a serious offense. They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security. At this point, I am in disbelief. Why would the DHS have a keylogger in my laptop? It was surreal.
So I called them, and they told me to submit a Freedom of Information Act request. This is what I got back: "

Can your communication networks support an automation upgrade?
Before you deploy a new HMI, install new software to support mobile devices, or add a loop tuning utility—make sure your networks can handle the increased traffic without bogging down.
Companies considering process plant upgrades know they have to work within the physical constraints of existing equipment. Pipes, pumps, and valves have limits to the volume of fluids they can handle. Electrical switchgear and wiring has a maximum current carrying capacity. If it's necessary to move beyond those limits, then upgrades or replacement of items that create the bottlenecks will be necessary.
The same applies in automation systems. A PLC or other controller has a maximum number of I/O connections, which is easy to see, but other limits aren't so obvious. A pressure drop in piping may signal excess volume in a process, but what are the signs of an overloaded control network? The early signs are more subtle.
When a new plant is designed, engineers typically build a level of excess capacity into all the systems to cover themselves and make sure the owner isn't disappointed by some unanticipated choke point. This applies throughout a facility, typically including the digital networks that facilitate communication among field devices, controllers, HMIs, and other process-related computing systems.
Those networks, like the process piping and electrical wiring, were designed to handle anticipated volume plus some extra. The problem is that designers 20, 10, or even 5 years ago didn't anticipate all the things users have added to their plant networks. Back in 2009, who would have thought they might be using an iPad to remotely access a process unit?
Little by little, that initial extra network capacity gets used up, although you might not realize it. If your network can handle the existing traffic, you may not know it's close to its limits until one more new thing begins to bog the system down. It may be a major upgrade like a new HMI, but even small additions of things like software utilities can make a difference. The problem with most companies is they don't know how close to they edge they are in terms of network capacity.
How plants get in trouble
While there are charts that tell you exactly how much liquid you can expect to put through a pipe or the ampacity of a given size of wire, network loading isn't as clear-cut. Measuring the performance of your network isn't easy, and there are few guidelines to suggest how much traffic is practical.
We often talk about automation system controllers being "overloaded," but this usually has more to do with moving data among controllers than with inadequate brute computing power. It is rare to outstrip a processor's capability to make loop calculations, but common for controllers to slow down when they are asked to continuously communicate large amounts of data.
Consequently, some customers without existing network problems simply launch into an automation system upgrade assuming they won't have problems. More sensible individuals may realize there needs to be some sort of network traffic analysis prior to the project, but this is often something of an afterthought.
As an automation solutions provider, we often see customers discover there are few tools available to measure existing and projected new network traffic. Control system vendors include diagnostic software for existing systems but they don't have capabilities to predict what network loading will look like for a system after modifications are carried out. It seems inordinately difficult to get a simple answer to the question, "Can our networks handle this new load?"
Problematic projects
As legacy systems reach their end of life, it often becomes a viable alternative to replace the HMI and front-end components, but leave the controllers in place. As vendors jockey for additional installed base, Vendor A convinces the user that its HMI can work seamlessly on an automation system from Vendor B. Maybe it can, or at least it did on Vendor A's test bench. There may even be a number of successful projects where that combination has been used, and the salesperson will cite these as reasons why there is no need to worry.
The salesperson may be absolutely correct as some cross-platform combinations work very well, but the most meaningful question is whether the combination will work in this specific situation, and there are lots of possible variables in play that are site-specific.
If the salesperson responsible for the project truly understands what is involved and is giving the customer proper guidance, there is a strong possibility for success. However, as independent automation solution providers, we have seen more situations where the choice is made and approved without adequate research. When the purchase orders are issued and problems begin to emerge, our services are called upon to solve the compatibility issues.
Fortunately, there are no infamous case histories where such a cross-platform DCS upgrade caused an entire system to crash when it was first turned on, but there are many where a project in its late stage suddenly had to be delayed for a few weeks to solve some network loading issue. As with any project problem, addressing these types of issues early is much less expensive and time-consuming than late fixes.
Tools and guidelines
While there are many tools for evaluating network health in office and commercial IT systems, there are far fewer for looking at process automation system networks, but there are some choices. In some cases, normal IT tools can be used, but judgment is required to interpret the evaluation results.
A study often shows the number of packets moving around and how easily they move, with a specific examination as to the number of collisions. Most automation systems have some sort of internal diagnostic utility that monitors how quickly inquiries get answered, which is related to network loading. When the HMI needs information to refresh the operator screen, does it come through on the first try, or does it get delayed? Does the HMI have to retry often?
Most systems can count situations where information is held up. This is good to know, but it might not help much when trying to figure out how much more bandwidth is available. Most systems can also give you an idea of controller loading, and as mentioned earlier this typically relates more to movement of information than numbers of calculations. This is useful when you are trying to determine how tasks are spread out around your system. You may find certain controllers carrying a disproportionate portion of the load, and communication can be improved by reassigning some tasks to less loaded parts of the automation system.
These tools are certainly useful as far as they go, but they aren't very predictive of success as you consider adding new things to your networks. Of course, if you find that your networks have bandwidth to burn, you don't need to worry, but this isn't often the case.
Bandwidth costs money, and probably cost more back when most plants were built. There have been few technology developments over the years that have caused bandwidth requirements to go down and many with the opposite affect, so more companies are closer to the edge than they realize.

February is the month of love so we confess: we love public transit - city buses in particular! And here's why:
1. See the people
Riding public buses quickly exposes you to a city's cultural and socio-economical spectrum: from grandmothers and teenagers to construction workers in steel toe shoes and businessmen in suits. There's no better move than hopping a local bus to feel the energy of a city.
2. See the city
It is hard to explore every corner of a growing city, but take enough buses and you will naturally cover a lot of ground. Keep your eyes open when you are on them. You may discover a beautiful neighborhood or an interesting restaurant that you otherwise wouldn't. Of course, people don't take city buses just for the sake of sightseeing but why not while you are there!
3. Build your confidence
Do you remember how you felt the first time you took a city bus? You probably felt a bit lost, worried to miss your transfer, unsure about the schedule while waiting... Do you also remember that after a few days, you knew exactly what you were doing? When you noticed somebody who seemed lost, you may even have offered him/her your help.
4. Save your sanity
Many large cities are racked with traffic which definitely creates a lot of stress on anyone trying to drive in there. Let's put it simply: sit down, read a book and enjoy the bus ride!
5. Use your time efficiently
Driving time is "wasted time". Let's face it, you can't do anything else useful while driving. But when you take a bus, you can read, study, work or simply get some rest.
6. Reduce your carbon footprint
Interested in reducing your carbon footprint while you travel? Consider public transport as one of your efforts. One person switching to public transit can reduce daily carbon emissions by 20 pounds, or more than 4,800 pounds in a year according to the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA).1
7. Save your money
The value of riding a city bus from point A to point B is hard to beat. Individuals who ride public transportation instead of driving can save, on average, $875 this month, and $10,502 annually, according to APTA January 2013 Transit Savings Report.2
Transit buses are part of the solution to our nation's economic, energy and environmental challenges. They are also a great way to learn about your city. Show your care, show your love and ride the bus!

SOC-MLS-UNION-IMPACT,-1ST-WRITETHRUAgency: CPDATA, 10:56 PM Wenger, Felipe score as Montreal Impact down Philadelphia Union 2-0By Bill Beacon
Update:Updates with quotes, details
MONTREAL — Rookie Andrew Wenger didn't waste his chance to show what he could do when he gets a chance to score.
The 21-year-old leapt in the air to head in a goal on a set play off a corner kick just before half time to help the Montreal Impact to a 2-0 MLS victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night.
The top pick in the SuperDraft got the start because designated player Marco Di Vaio was in Italy, where a prosecutor has called for the former Bologna star to be suspended one year for failing to report alleged match fixing in a scandal that has shaken Italian soccer.
Wenger looked ready to take up the challenge.
"I don't think the replacing Di Vaio thing is much of a story," said Wenger after his fourth goal in 14 MLS games. "I've played out there by myself before.
"It's another game where, as a rookie, I'm trying to prove I can play in this league and keep progressing."
Midfielder Felipe Martins added an insurance goal in the 78th minute of a match in which the Impact did not play nearly their best but still came away with three points.
The Impact (9-13-3), who are 8-3-2 at home, moved past the Columbus crew into sixth place in the Eastern Conference and opened a seven-point lead on eighth-place Philadelphia (7-11-2). However, both of those rivals hold five games in hand on Montreal.
The Impact may get more bad news this week as central defender Nelson Rivas was sent off along with Union forward Jack McInerney in the 69th minute after a shoving match, leaving both clubs with 10 men to finish the match.
Replays showed Rivas head butting the Philadelphia player, so he may get more than the automatic one-game suspension for a red card, although there was embellishment on both sides of the melee.
"One's a head butt and one's a very innocent push," said Union coach John Hackworth. "I can't for the life of me figure out how we're not up a man for the last 22 minutes.
"It's unfathomable to me. I looked at the video. Jack doesn't even really push him."
With Rivas out at least for the next game Aug. 12 at New England, Matteo Ferrari will likely move back to the central defence after playing a rare match at left back. He felt bad for Rivas, a fellow former Serie-A player.
"We are all human," said Ferrari. "Sometimes you can lose your mind and do something wrong.
"That happened with Nelson but he's the first guy who is really sad for what happened. I didn't see it. I heard it was a head butt, so we will see what MLS will decide. I hope we don't lose him for a long time."
The win avenged a 2-1 loss in Philadelphia on July 14 on a Carlos Valdes goal in stoppage time. It was Montreal's second victory in a row after a 3-1 decision over New York a week earlier.
Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and the team got its first clean sheet since a 2-0 win at Kansas City on May 5, and only its third of the season.
"The good thing is we didn't allow a goal, that's the first step," said Ferrari. "But I think we didn't do well as a team.
"We played much better against New York. We're happy we won but if you see how we won, we didn't do well. We have to do better. If we play like that I don't know how many games we can win."
The Union missed two glittering chances in the first half as Lionard Pajoy hit a post and McInerney was stopped from point blank off a corner kick. Montreal got a goal just before the intermission.
Justin Mapp played a corner kick back to Patrice Bernier, who chipped the ball into the middle for Wenger to make a leaping header that pushed the ball over Zac MacMath and under the crossbar.
Felipe struck in the 79th minute, thrusting forward to head in Hassoun Camara's cross.
"Those two missed chances came back to haunt us," said Hackworth. "Then we opened the second half and have a great combination play through the middle and miss another one.
"If you don't (score) you can't win."
Notes: Di Vaio, who faces a one-year ban for failing to report match-fixing while with Serie-A club Bologna, is to return to Montreal on Sunday. A decision in his case is expected next week. ... The Union's new acquisition, Malian defender Bakary Soumare, was expected to make his debut but wasn't even in the 18-man lineup.
