IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 22 August 2017 Issued at 8:54 pm EST Tuesday on 22 August 2017 A surface trough combined with an upper trough is creating a mid-level cloud band over the Tasman Sea. Significant thunderstorm activity is embedded in this cloud band. A weak cold front stretches from the south coast of Western Auatralia through the Great Australian Bight towards southern Tasmania. Low cloud covers much of Tasmania in a fresh northwesterly flow ahead of the front. This flow is also causing cloud over western Victoria and eastern South Australia. Southwest WA is under low cloud due to the onshore southwesterly airstream following the front. A middle level cloud band sweeps from the northern parts of the Indian Ocean over central WA to northern South Australia, and is associated with a weak surface low and trough interacting with a jetstream in the upper levels of the atmosphere. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.

I would like to put a date of article on ky site. I there a semantic tag for this?
In HTML5, there's the time element. You would put something like

This article was written on <time datetime="2012-12-08">8 December 2012</time>.

This article was written on <time datetime="2012-12-08">8 December 2012</time>.

See more on Best of Time by Bruce Lawson.
Thanks. Ya that's all I find googling. Can you use that tag with a html4 doctype?
It won't do anything ... browsers will treat it just the same as <tagijustmadeup attribute="random">...</tagijustmadeup> ... there is no way to indicate a date/time in HTML4 that I'm aware of.
<tagijustmadeup attribute="random">...</tagijustmadeup>
Ok thanks . I tried.
There is no difference. Since all browsers with an "HTML5" parser will consider all text/html as "HTML5", there is really no difference whatsoever between an "HTML4" doctype and an "HTML5" one regarding tags like these.
The sole difference Eric would see is whatever the validator wants to whine about... and in this case I wouldn't bother listening to it.
That and he'd need to create it for IE with JS if he wanted to style it for everyone. It's usually an inline I believe.
Indeed. That's not new with browsers that have an HTML5 parser, though, browsers have always supported whatever elements they support even if the doctype doesn't "match".
Browsers have never made use of the doctype to determine how to parse the associated code - unfortunately.
They lose all the real benefit of having their standards defined using SGML (which was introduced in HTML 2) as a result of that which is why those working on HTML 5 decided to drop the SGML doctype completely and add a new HTML tag in its place (that just happens to look identical to the short version of the SGML doctype for HTML).
I just used "em" for the date. No reason other than I wanted it italisized. Seems appropriate.
Isn't that what they called parsers who did the "unified error rendering" (since that's about when they also started adding in the new tags as well)?,Once someone decided to call it a versionless "living standard", the idea of speaking about who supports what got even harder.
I'm not sure what you mean. Browsers certainly added support for some post-HTML4 features before implementing the HTML5 parser (canvas was one of the earlier ones). The HTML5 parser didn't change anything for the case we're discussing here -- whether an element is supported depending on the declared doctype.
How so?
With versions (of anything), you can state in broad strokes things like "x supports y". Like I can say, of a whole bunch of features, "Those are new in Javascript 1.8, I can't use them because IE on XP (which happen to also be versioned: IE6, 7 and 8, but certainly not 9) blah blah" and other developers know what I'm talking about, without me needing to name every individual feature.
I could also say "specific feature X is not supported in [IE6, Safari 4, completely broken due to a trunk regression in FF 184.108.40.206...]." Back when browsers had versions.
With HTML versions, I could make statements like "In HTML4, a fieldset must be accompanied by a legend, while in XHTML1.0, this requirement has been mysteriously and silently dropped." Every developer would know exactly what I meant, and how it would affect them or not. Whether it matters more for a developer, a browser (version), or just the validator, isn't really the issue, but more that we have names for things created in certain times. Versions.
While many have been promoting the idea of "living standard", which I assume is partially to encourage developers to speak on a low, per-specific -thingie/feature/bug/joe's validator/nightly build basis, it does remove our wants and needs as developers communicating with each other to be able to talk about generalities of time. Which is why on forums everywhere, developers are still saying "HTML4", "HTML5", "XHTML", "CSS3", etc. Like this thread's original question for example.
Maybe we developers are wrong to want to continue to do this, now that neither specs nor features are being released in big batches anymore, but currently this is ending up with me trying to explain stuff like this to my boss:
"Well, despite your user-hating insistence of using the new placeholder attribute in place of a label, we still need to give direction to those using IE-on-XP, Firefox before they started releasing new versions every second, Safari on Windows and on OneOfThoseBigCats-OSX, oh and those versions of Safari and Opera who support placeholders but not on textareas, Opera Mini users, and your mom's Blackberry..."
Because we're sometimes forced to explain technical things to non-technical people, where listing gritty details doesn't really help, even if it's more accurate.
What makes more sense to the boss is:"Placeholder is an HTML5 thing, and according to our stats we still have 32% users of HTML4 browsers, so we'd better at least sneak in a label for them."
Or"The bugs mentioned recently on this mailing list have been fixed and commited in Orca 3.7, which finally has support for Python 3, and requires that you have Gnome 3 installed."(or for that matter, things like "Print is not a function in Python 2.x, but is a print() function in 3.x..." this is why we have versions, so we can refer to stuff in a way that others understand).
With a versionless living standard, it's like asking "Does Firefox support x?" (answer: some firefoxes do, did you update on the 22 of March 2012?), or (and we all hear this one) "Does this software support the latest HTML?" (uh... what is the latest HTML? Everything's, like, in the flow, man)
I suspect some of us will simply resort to using actual dates when we need to discuss things like support, since version numbers are going away. I can imagine something like this:"Well, before commit:9a7h7d231498.1.12 in May, print was not a function, but in that commit we changed it to a function, oh and we added unicode support. Pull from master if you want print as a function in your programs."
Browsers still have versions, though.
If you want to use names that are lies, that's fine, nobody stops you from continuing to use "HTML5" and "HTML4" when communicating with your boss. However, for this case, I don't see what's wrong with, e.g.:
"Placeholder is a relatively new thing (only a few years), and according to our stats we still have 32% users of browsers that don't support it, so we'd better at least sneak in a label for them."
How is that question different from "Does Firefox support HTML5?" before HTML5 was renamed to HTML? Or why would you answer it differently?
I don't see why that is a bad thing.
but it isn't
(appropriate, that is)
if you want italics, use the I tag
if you want emphasis, then okay, go ahead and use EM
True. Ok I mean to day I wanted it italisized and emphasized.

There's been alot of talk recently about aging beef yourself. I'll admit this is something I've yet to try. There was a great post a while back about dry aging at home that went into some more details and setups but I still didn't go for it. I know/understand/and have experience the difference between aged and unaged. My question is this how long is too long. I can hear my mothers voice in my head saying that if is a week old its no good. Does the aging "process" extend the life? Or is it alright to just let those steaks in the fridge for long periods, and how long is too long.
Hopefully someone smarter than I has some good answers and experiences, and maybe even a little science to explain it.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1747 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In a league where six of the eight teams qualify for the playoffs, advancing to the CFL post-season is usually -- at least arithmetically -- the easy part.
This year is a case in point. Three of the six teams who qualified for this year's CFL playoffs had regular-season records of .500 or less (Toronto 9-9, Saskatchewan 8-10, Edmonton 7-11).
What's more, two of those teams enter the playoffs on losing streaks -- three straight losses for Edmonton and four straight for Saskatchewan.
All of which is to say that in 2012, it almost took more doing to not make the playoffs in the CFL than it did to make them. So take a bow, Winnipeg and Hamilton -- that's quite a thing you accomplished this year.
For the Bombers, of course, 2012 represents the third time in the last four years that the local heroes have failed to be among the three-quarters of the league that make the playoffs every season.
But this year seems to carry with it an especially biting sting and that won't get any better on Sunday when Bombers fans are forced to watch an Edmonton team with a regular-season record that sounds more like a convenience store than a mark worthy of post-season play compete in the East semifinal.
In a season of what-ifs in Winnipeg, the biggest one of all will play out this weekend -- What if the Bombers had won just one more game in 2012 and were playing this weekend in Toronto for the right to advance to face the Alouettes in Montreal in next weekend's East Final.
The Bombers, remember, beat the Argos in Toronto just three weeks ago. And they also won in Montreal just five weeks ago. All of which is to say that as bad as the Bombers were in 2012, there did appear to be a path available to them -- albeit a very narrow one -- to return to the Grey Cup this season, if they just could have figured out a way to string more than one win together in a row.
Instead, the Bombers will watch on TV tomorrow as the almost as hapless Eskimos -- winners of just two of their last 10 games and with a revolving door at quarterback that spun this season at a pace just slightly less dizzying than the one in Winnipeg -- now attempt to become the first crossover team in history to advance to the Grey Cup.
Just two crossover teams have ever even won a semi-final game, although it does bear noting that the Eskimos were one of them, beating the Bombers in the 2008 East semi. The other was the B.C. Lions, who beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East semifinal in 2009.
Meanwhile, in the other playoff game this weekend, the red-hot Stampeders have the privilege of taking on the only team in the league mired in a worse slump than the Eskimos -- the Roughriders -- in the West semifinal.
A month ago, the Stampeders and Roughriders were tied for second place in the West Division with 8-6 records. But since then, Calgary has won four in a row and Saskatchewan has lost four in a row to set up what appears to be on that basis alone a bit of a mismatch this weekend.
Regardless who wins that game, however, the much more formidable task will be to travel next weekend to Vancouver for the West Final to face the defending Grey Cup champion Lions, who were favourites to repeat at the start of the 2012 season and still appear to be that at season's end, boasting the best record in the league at 13-5 and with the luxury of nothing but dome games in front of them.
They play 18 regular-season games over 19 weeks in the CFL to eliminate just two teams. The games are over. The real work begins now.

Starting QB: Ricky Ray (321-468, 4,059, 20 TDs; QB Eff 99.8, 3rd)
Edmonton Line: The fans in Edmonton were clamoring this week for youngster Matt Nichols to get the start this weekend at quarterback, but head coach Kavis Reed is going with experience over enthusiasm and giving the ball, at least to start the game, to Kerry Joseph. Injured RB Hugh Charles was also back practising this week and telling anyone who would listen that he will play Sunday. Fast fact: The Esks have lost three in a row and are 2-7 on the road this season.
Toronto Line: The Argos actually played better on the road this season (5-4) than they did at home, where they tied the Bombers for the league-worst home record at 4-5. QB Ricky Ray will have extra motivation, going up against the team that traded him last winter, although that edge was blunted last weekend when the Esks fired the man who made the trade: GM Eric Tillman.
Bottom Line: The Argos are lousy at home, the Eskimos are lousy on the road, neither team has distinguished themselves. But at least the Argos earned their playoff spot, instead of having it handed to them by default in a crossover. And two words: Chad Owens.

Starting QB: Drew Tate (46-63, 570, 4 TDs; QB Eff. 102.0)
Saskatchewan Line: The Riders limp into Calgary having lost their last four games. But the last loss, to BC last weekend, came in a game in which the Riders, with their playoff positioning already set, chose to rest starting QB Darian Durant. Durant had been dogged down the stretch by a lingering hip injury and the Riders brain trust is hoping a breather will do the man some good heading into the big game.
Calgary Line: The Stamps are the opposite of the Riders, having won four in a row heading into this weekend. Head coach/GM John Hufnagel has decided to start QB Drew Tate, who missed 14 games with a shoulder injury. Tate was expected to be lost for the season, but returned earlier than expected and saw action in each of Calgary's last two regular-season games.
Bottom Line: Calgary's Kevin Glenn was the starting QB in 9 of Calgary's 12 victories this season, but will hold the clipboard this weekend. Hufnagel said Tate's athleticism and ability to extend plays gave him the nod over Glenn on Sunday. Left unsaid was Glenn's horrendous playoff history.

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 23, 2013) – The Senate Committee on Pensions and Labor today approved a proposal authored by State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City) to protect Hoosiers' right to vote by secret ballot.
Senate Joint Resolution 2 would amend the Constitution of the State of Indiana to permanently protect the right to use secret ballots in elections, including union authorization elections. The committee passed the resolution 7 to 3, moving the measure to the full Senate for further consideration.
"The most pressing need for SJR 2 is the move by a radical fringe of the labor movement to undermine secret-ballot union elections in hopes of coercing workers to join unions," Banks said. "But workers aren't the only group who would gain constitutional protection from this proposal. My resolution protects the fundamental right of all Hoosiers to vote by secret ballot so that their vote isn't subject to coercion and intimidation."
If SJR 2 passes in the Senate, it will move to the House of Representatives for additional review.
To amend Indiana's constitution, a resolution must pass both the Senate and House of Representatives in two sessions separated by an election and then be approved by a statewide voter referendum.
Banks said four states currently have similar constitutional amendments: Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.

IT'S late afternoon on a tiny Pacific island and a mild breeze gives relief from the day's scorching heat and intense humidity. At the edge of the gently rolling surf, under the palms and frangipanis, a small group of foreigners is throwing Frisbees and playing volleyball, seemingly without a care in the world. They say a picture tells 1000 words, but this is an image requiring closer inspection. Look hard, and you see the heavily muscled security presence. Wait until the men take shelter under one of the palms, and you see the sadness in their eyes.
I approach, introduce myself as a journalist from Australia, and the immediate desire of the asylum seekers to talk to me is matched only by the anxiety of their chaperones, including two young women wearing Salvation Army T-shirts. To them, my presence is as welcome as a gate-crasher at an intimate dinner.

A snapshot of Nauru
Michael Gordon explores the surreal life inside the Nauru detention centre.
The asylum seekers direct me to the one in their number with the best command of English, but before he can communicate, the head of security intervenes, saying they will need to seek instructions from higher authorities before our conversation can proceed.
I tell him what I have been told by officials in Canberra and the Nauru government - that while the men are outside the processing centre, they are free to talk to whoever they please - but the answer from the camp is negative. ''It's their private time,'' I am told by one of the women from the Salvos, and their privacy should be respected.
The temptation is to respond that, surely, their private time is the endless hours they spend in the cramped detention centre they call Topside; that this is their public time. Instead, I politely ask the head of security to seek clarification from the Immigration Department officials who make the camp rules.
While he makes contact on his mobile phone, the group is ushered back on to the mini-bus to make their way up the hill, past the rusted machinery of Nauru's glory days as one of the world's biggest suppliers of fertiliser, and back to the camp. It's then that one of them beckons me to the window and begins a monologue that only ends when it is cut off by the man from Wilson Security in a khaki shirt.
''Day by day, we are losing our minds and everybody is attempting suicide and hurting himself,'' he begins, with urgent intensity. ''If somebody will lose his life in this camp, who will be responsible? This is our message to the people of Australia: please save our lives and our futures. We have feelings, we have hopes, but at this time there is no future and no hope.''
There isn't time for him to tell me where he is from, or why he seems to have a damaged eye. But I do learn this is his first time outside the camp before the monologue is terminated - and with it, any chance of making more meaningful contact with those who face spending five years on Nauru, with no guarantee of eventual resettlement in Australia if they are found to be refugees.
For the next three days, despite being told of the commendable efforts of the Salvos to break the monotony of camp life by supervising excursions outside, there are no excursions. Not one, for so long as anyone from the Australian media is on the island. In the timetable posted on a notice board inside the camp, the next three days are blank.
In the absence of transparency, openness and access, I am left with a series of snapshots that paint a disturbing picture of the surreal life inside this detention centre in the jungle: the heartfelt monologue under the palms; a handwritten note thrown to me by an Iranian asylum seeker facing criminal charges at Nauru's tiny courthouse (''I am REFFUGEE NOT KRAMANAL,'' it said); the chants and banners of detainees when I traverse the jagged limestone pinnacles with photographer Angela Wylie to a spot overlooking the camp (''Don't Make Us Crazy!'' they cried); and the damning assessments of an Amnesty delegation who were granted access to the camp.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. By week's end, the sense of those on Nauru that they have been forgotten was compounded when the Gillard government's asylum policy entered uncharted territory that will consign thousands of other asylum seekers to life as an underclass in the community - without any certainty that the number of boats will slow.
In a media statement headed ''No advantage onshore for boat arrivals'', Immigration Minister Chris Bowen explained the principle that underpins the policy of offshore processing announced on August 13 - that no benefit is gained ''through circumventing regular migration arrangements'' - would now apply to the thousands who have arrived since that date, but cannot be sent offshore because there isn't room on Nauru or on Manus Island.
Day by day, we are losing our minds and everybody is attempting suicide.
Those who remained in Australia would not receive a protection visa if they were found to be refugees ''until such time that they would have been resettled in Australia after being processed in our region'' - a period Bowen confirmed could be five years.
Consistent with the ''no advantage'' principle, he added, they would have no work rights, basic accommodation assistance and minimal financial support.
The implication was that the approach reflected the recommendations of the expert panel who devised the ''no advantage'' principle. In fact, it was a radical departure from the panel's report, which said nothing about denying work rights and was predicated on a strict ''adherence by Australia to its international obligations''.
If you are going to take away work rights to equate asylum seekers in Australia's care with those in Malaysia or Indonesia, where do you stop? Denying them access to healthcare or any income support?
When the panel recommended the reopening of processing centres on Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island, it argued they should operate very differently to the way things were under the Howard government's Pacific Solution, when media, lawyers and human rights advocates were denied visas, mistakes were made in refugee determinations, and many asylum seekers were psychologically scarred by the experience.
Indeed, it was one of the panel's members, Paris Aristotle, who led a team that visited Nauru late in 2005, after the mental health professionals on the island said they would not be held responsible if the government failed to act on warnings that those who had languished there for more than four years were at ''extreme risk'' of committing suicide.
But, as things stand, there is very little difference between the way Nauru operated during the first phase of the Pacific Solution and how it is operating now, except there is more certainty that asylum seekers will be on the island much longer, and two non-government bodies, the Red Cross and Amnesty, have been allowed in.
As Amnesty described it after three days of access to the camp this week, a toxic mix of uncertainty, unlawful detention and inhumane conditions is creating an increasingly volatile situation on the island, with the Australian government ''spectacularly failing in its duty of care to asylum seekers''.
Amnesty's Dr Graham Thom and Alex Pagliaro were in the centre on Wednesday night as the news broke that those who could not be sent to Nauru or Manus would be released into the community, albeit on harsh conditions - and Bowen confirmed their stay on Nauru was likely to be five years.
The news dramatically accentuated their sense that they have been dealt with unfairly. Why were they, out of the thousands who have arrived since August 13, chosen to be sent to Nauru? ''A lot of them said, 'We're happy those people are going to be out in the community, but why have we been forgotten?''' Thom recalls. '''Why have we been cast aside, pushed into a corner? Why are we locked up like this?'''
The despair of the asylum seekers, Thom maintains, was all the greater because Immigration Department officials were not on hand to explain the implications of what was announced to the 387 detainees. Later that night, one of the 31 Iranians in the camp attempted suicide. Amnesty was back again on Thursday, when torrential rain inundated parts of the camp including many of the tents.
There was no official explanation for the clamp on media access, which was not intended by the expert panel and which seems to defy common sense. Surely, asylum seekers would be less likely to resort to hunger strikes and self-harm if they at least had some sense that their voice was being heard.
As Professor Harry Minas, a member of the government's advisory council on asylum seekers in detention, puts it: ''People should have the opportunity to express what they are experiencing and what they feel about what they're experiencing - that would be positive for their mental health.''
The clamp is also at odds with the expectations of the Nauru government, with Foreign Minister Dr Kieren Keke saying he was under the wrong impression that the camp was already open - with detainees able to come and go as they please during daylight hours.
This points to one of the problems with the offshore processing model: the reality is that Australia is pulling the strings (and paying a fortune for the privilege), yet the asylum seekers are subject to Nauruan law and will be processed under it, if and when the world's smallest republic acquires the human and physical resources to do the job.
The consequences of this confusion were evident when 14 asylum seekers arrived at the court house on
Monday to face charges stemming from a disturbance on September 30, and told they would be represented by Nauru's public defender, a man they had never met.
Three of the asylum seekers arrived in pyjamas, one so disoriented and weak that he had to be assisted in and out of the courtroom. Another arrived on crutches, claiming his injured knee and ribs were the result of heavy-handedness by security guards at the camp - a claim strenuously denied by an Immigration Department spokesman.
They stayed on the bus for two hours before one of the island's few barristers represented them for the court appearance, but the question remains: will they be adequately represented when they go to trial? Australia's Immigration Department feels no obligation to assist them because they face criminal charges; Nauru's police commissioner says they must organise their own defence if they are unhappy with the public defender; and the resident magistrate says it would be desirable if they were separately represented. Clearly, their best prospect is for Australian lawyers to defend them on a pro bono basis, but that is a big ask given the costs involved and limited accommodation on the island.
The Immigration Department's director on Nauru agreed to speak to Fairfax Media on condition that she be referred to only as Miss Annette, the name the asylum seekers know her by. She conceded that there have been problems, but says with conviction: ''Our task is to look after the transferees who have come there. That's our absolute main priority and is at the forefront of our minds every day. It's a slow process. We've only been operating for two months and I think to date a lot has been done. Things will change and improve as we go along and as we get more resources.''
Asked the biggest challenge, she replies: ''I think it is getting people motivated, to engage and to focus on the future. If they consider themselves to have claims, then let's focus on the future and get them there. If they don't, then they need to consider alternatives such as going home.''
This of course, will be less daunting once processing begins, but the promise that even those found to be refugees will be on the island for as long as they would have waited in transit countries will test even the most resilient refugee - especially when combined with the not-so-subtle pressure to go back to where they came from.
The pressure is implicit in the information sheet that explains to ''clients'' that it will be several months before the arrangements for processing are agreed, that it will then be necessary to recruit qualified staff and find accommodation for them and that interpreters will also be needed.
Before explaining that those who are eventually found to be refugees can expect to wait ''a long time'' before they are resettled, if they are resettled, the sheet advises: ''Remember that you can decide to leave Nauru voluntarily any time.''
So while the government calls it a regional processing centre, it is not seen as such by clients. As the man in the mini-bus put it to me before our conversation was curtailed: ''This is not the Nauru camp. This is the mental hospital.''

Internet giant Google is reviewing the viability of entering the world of bricks and mortar through the lease of retail outlets in shopping centres.
Although still in its infancy, reports from the US are that the search engine is keen to take advantage of the growth in demand for consumer electronic with face to face service.
The move comes as retail services, which includes mobile phones and devices, continue to outperform in sales within shopping centres.
In the half year result for CFS Retail Fund, released today, retail services sales rose 4.1 per cent across its malls, including Chatswood in Sydney and Chadstone in Melbourne, against a negative 1.7 per cent in apparel sales.
According to a report in the US-based 9to5 blog network, the success of Apple, Samsung, Sony and Microsoft, in their retail outlets has been carefully watched and tracked by the Google head office executives.
Further fuelling this interest in expanding to direct sales was Google's acquisition last year of Motorola Mobility.
The US blog, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, says Google is also looking at expanding its Android business, which also manufactures home entertainment devices and could increase its development into the electronic devices and phones businesses.
According to the report in the WSJ, Google could also use retail stores to show off these products as well Google TV software that is embedded in some TV sets and set-top boxes, allowing people to browse web video content from their televisions.
Apple has 400 stores worldwide and is said to be on an aggressive expansion plan in bricks and mortar within Australia, as malls are redeveloped and offer flagship-style stores.
In response to the changes in consumer behaviour, Sony said it would focus on an extension of the kiosk- style store that operates in Westfield Chatswood in Sydney.
"This retail model offers shoppers the opportunity to get hands-on with Sony products in a flexible, high-traffic location," the company said.
A comment has been requested from Google.

Research Interests and Specialization
With an M.A. in Applied Linguistics and a Ph.D. in Literature and Cultural Studies (both concentrating on Russian area studies), I have focused in much of my work on the complex interrelationship between language, culture, and politics, particularly during times of radical social change. My first book, Speaking in Soviet Tongues: Language Culture and the Politics of Voice in Early Soviet Russia examines the emergence of a new language of state in the decades following the Bolshevik Revolution, and the role played in that process by institutions of literature, linguistics, journalism, and education. My second book, After Newspeak: Language Culture and Politics in Russia from Gorbachev to Putin (Cornell University Press, 2014) offers a cultural history of the Russian language since the collapse of the Soviet Union. I've also co-edited the volume, Digital Russia: The Language, Culture, and Politics of New Media Communication (Routledge, 2014).
Current projects having me venturing further into the area of Internet and New Media Studies and their impact on Russian politics and civil communication in general. See my Publications page for recent articles on this topic.
I've taught a number of courses in Russian language, literature, and culture during my tenure at UF. Fall 2017 I will be teaching "Russia Today" (RUT 3504) and "Intro. to Russian Language and Culture" (RUS 1130).

Honoring the "One Hamburger Summer" spirit, I realized a chance to fire up a new alternative for lunch today. First, I should mention that I started with the Jennie-O prefab turkey patties. And I'm here to tell you they're actually quite good! Found 'em on a super sale, and they're great when pressed for time. It was just a winning proposition.
I should also introduce a couple new characters in this scene. The first is Bubbies brand sauerkraut. This kraut has the distinction of being raw, not pasteurized, meaning it contains live active cultures, must be kept refrigerated, and is extra wholesome and flavorful. So crispy, beats any other canned variety out there. If you haven't tried it, you'll be glad if you do. Here is a pic:
The other character is Bubbies pickles. They are a bit more expensive than some other varieties. Curiously, they have the distinction of tasting like they were pickled in pastrami seasoning! Now these may not have quite the snap or crunch of some other offerings, but they sure are high on flavor and go so well the kraut. The pic:
Out to the pit and on with the cook. Soften up some red onion strips while I'm at it.
Final touch with the Deluxe American cheese, onions, and toasted buns. Were it not for the cheese, these finished burgers would be extra low calorie and wholesome. Well, (9 out of 10 ain't bad).
time to start plating these bad boys. I added the tomatoes, pickles, and yellow mustard, all on 100% whole wheat buns. I could have gone with the Dusseldorf mustard, but I was feeling more American than German today. Besides, the cheese was American!
Lastly, time to pile on the sauerkraut, cap the bun, and stretch open the mouth. This burger had a decidedly wholesome and satisfying quality about it. And that's my added burger offering for the hamburger summer. This may possibly be my last post for a while, as I confess to starting to wonder why I make the time to post when forum participation is at an astounding low.

DETROIT - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing tried to emphasize the positive and give some hope Wednesday night during his State of the City speech. But is there any?
Watch: Local 4 talks to Detroit mayor after State of City
Detroit's financial woes are extreme and on Wednesday night there were no answers to the city's long-term liability issues, which is what will be the deciding factor in whether the state is forced to put an emergency manager in the city.
"I wish that he had been much more definitive about the fact that there is way forward without emergency management," said Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh. "He joked about it and said that we haven't gotten one appointed yet. I didn't think that was funny."
Watch: Detroit mayor's 2013 State of the City
So far, what has been needed to be done has not been done. The mayor emphasized the short-term measures that have stemmed the cash bleed, but not the long-term fixes.
Still, many appreciated Bing's positive tone.
"The best way forward is one foot at a time, and clearly, as you see, that's what we're doing," said City Councilman James Tate.
Metro Detroit's regional leaders were in attendance and they have nothing but praise for Mayor Bing and the challenges he faces.
"This guy truly is a very ethical person. He's a trusted individual. I hope he decides to run for mayor again," said Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel.
However, perhaps the only opinion that really mattered Wednesday night was State Treasurer Andy Dillon.
"I thought it was a good message. I come to every state of the city, and I didn't want to change, and I thought the mayor delivered a great message tonight," Dillon said.

I have the following problem, i have a program that transmits data between two hosts in LAN. The program works perfectly so far but my problem is the following, how do i achieve the best speed possible? I mean i am trying various combinations such as the time between packets, the size of the packets and the buffer size, but it seems impossible to find the ideal point between these three variables. If i put too small pauses between the packets, i get an error, if i put a way too large buffer, i get an error. Any suggestions and ideas are welcome (or if your reference some sources that would be cool too).
Side note: So far the best i can do is 137MB in just under half a minute (on average). Is that a satisfying speed?
Thanks in advance!

I have a page that has some sections that are available only with javascript. Please leave for now comments that I should make it available also without javascript.
The page has add details link. When user clicks it, it shows ajax pop up.
Add details
Is it ok to use javascript:void(0) or is there any better way (considering popup content can be accesses only with js)?
The above example done also with defining new fucntion and using onClick. Would be this still be considered as a proper way? Why some people are saying that I should not use onClick?
And if this is not a proper (best practice) way. What if user need to pass also some arguments, like the following?
Add details
The best way is to include the address of the page that you want those without JavaScript to see when they click on the link.
Even usung href="#" would be better as at least then clicking on the link without JavaScript will do something.
Even if must only definitely work with JS on, it's better to use a link because then the user can tab to it with the keyboard. If it's not a link, then it's impossible to "click" it without a mouse.
thank you. And as for onClick="addDetails(1,3), is there any reason why I should avoid using onClick?
As it is JavaScript it is better placed in an external JavaScript file rather than cluttering your HTML with JavaScript.
That is the least of the jmany problems that code causes - so trivial in comparison to all the other issues since most people who would receive such an alert would have plenty of other reasons for abandoning that web site regardless of what browser they are using.
As Raffles said - the best solution of it is JavaScript only is to insert the entire link with JavaScript. Then you can safely use href="#" in the knowledge that it will never be run.
If you absolutely must break the web page by including it for everyone even when it isn't going to work for everyone then the choice I mentioned with regard to who you are trying to annoy the most would determine how you do it - but you still wouldn't use javascript:void(0) regardless.
If you do feel like using javascript:void(0) then first write out the following line ten trillion times before you do.
href="javascript:void(0)" means "Go away you are too insignificant a microbe for me to take the effort to make my web page work properly for you".
If it's not a link, then it's impossible to "click" it without a mouse.
Well, but if for whatever reason it needs to be some other element, there is always JS adding a negative tab index so it can add focus() itself for mouseless.
Personally I do the Let-JS-Create-The-Object because nothing's more frustrating as a user than having crap on a page that doens't work. Don't make promises to your users that you can't always keep. A link is a "promise" in usability.
sorry disturbing you mr., i have a problem with link..
this is parts of the script..<a href="agenda_kerja.php?id=<?=1?>;javascript:void(0)" onclick="document.getElementById('light').style.display='none';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block';document.getElementById('edit').style.display='block'">edit

Corn futures continued their recent decline Tuesday and again Wednesday morning. Although the global situation remains very tight, it has become very clear that elevated prices are limiting demand for U.S. product. Meanwhile, significantly improved forecasts for dry areas of Southern Brazil and Argentina are weighing upon the market, since the increased moisture could give their corn and soybean crops a big boost. March corn had fallen 6.75 cents to $6.895/bushel early Wednesday morning, while December dipped 3.5 cents to $5.595.
Soybean futures are declining in response to the latest weather news. The main weather models have diverged somewhat in forecasts for next week, but the main point of contention seems to be whether rainfall will occur early or late. The added precipitation may do little to help their corn crop, since it has probably pollinated already, but it could boost production prospects for South American soybeans substantially. March beans were trading 11.5 cents lower, at $14.0925 early Wednesday morning, while March soyoil slid 0.41 cents to 50.69 cents/pound, and March meal sank $2.8 to $407.5/ton.
Wheat futures also continued its recent decline in response to improved rainfall forecasts Wednesday morning. Those predictions center upon the U.S. Southern Plains rather than South America, but that does not change the fact that improved moisture for the domestic winter wheat crop could boost the spring-summer harvest rather dramatically. March CBOT wheat futures tumbled 7.0 cents to 7.25/bushel overnight, and March KCBT wheat dropped 5.0 cents to $7.73, while March MGE futures edged downward just 1.75 cents to $8.1425.
CME live cattle futures declined again in early Wednesday electronic activity. The market again acted rather poorly Tuesday, with early weakness apparently persuading producers to take low-ball packer bids around 123 cents/pound. That two-cent cash decline won't encourage many bulls in Chicago. Those traders can point to the modest wholesale gains posted Tuesday afternoon and to the fact that bears could not force an April close significantly below the pivotal 130-cent area. Still, the market seems vulnerable to further short-term losses. April cattle slipped 0.25 cents to 129.70 cents/pound early Wednesday morning, while August skidded 0.27 cents lower to 125.85. Meanwhile, March feeder cattle declined 0.45 cents to 142.80 cents/pound, and August fell 0.82 cents to 156.25.
After having fallen moderately Tuesday, hog futures were mostly lower early Wednesday morning. Discounts built into nearby futures probably limited the downward pressure, as did the surprisingly large rise in pork cutout posted late Tuesday afternoon. However, the early-morning report indicating Iowa-Southern Minnesota hog weights had jumped 1.7 pounds from the week-prior reading may set a negative tone for the start of the Chicago pit session. April hogs had slipped 0.12 cents to 85.87 cents/pound in pre-dawn trading, while June lost 0.27 cents to 93.97.
Cotton futures fell sharply Tuesday after failing to advance significantly on supportive news Monday. Pragmatic traders often view such market action as signaling a market is vulnerable to a larger decline. Wire service sources argued that rising deliverable stockpiles registered with the ICE exchange played a role in the decline. Whatever the underlying cause, the drop suggests a test of major technical support around the 80 cent/pound area is looming. March cotton dove 0.90 cents to 80.81 cents/pound in overnight trading, while December plunged 1.10 cents to 82.40.

A MAJOR route through Dorset was closed for hours this afternoon after a serious accident.
A car towing a boat was involved in the crash on the A350 Lower Blandford Road and the road was shut in both directions between Foot's Hill and the A30 Christy's Lane and B3091 Salisbury Road.
The crash happened near to the Cann bridge turn-off.
A Dorset Police spokesman said that officers were called at 12.05pm and that the car and trailer had ended up on their sides.
No other vehicles were involved and it is not thought that there are any serious injuries, although one person was injured.
Nobody was trapped in the vehicle, said Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, but fire crews were called to help make the scene safe.
Clearing the scene took much of the afternoon due to the nature of the crash.

That bastion of journalism, the Huffington Post ran a story on cloud computing and the emerging markets. You pretty much know what these stories say before you read them: Cloud computing is ready-made for emerging countries, is the great equalizer, and all the rest. "This transformation [to the cloud] has great implications for places such as China, [South] Korea, Hong Kong, Brazil, Russia, and India. It will allow them to leapfrog outdated markets and take advantage of lower costs for building out infrastructure, as the cloud bulldozes all sorts of costly technology barriers."
It's not that simple.
[ From Amazon Web Services to Windows Azure, see how the elite 8 public clouds compare in the InfoWorld Test Center's review. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Certainly, the ability to provide enterprise infrastructure and application services over the open Internet, per drink, is game-changing for many parts of the world that can't afford to build a data center. However, many obstacles still remain, and some of these will take time and money to address.
The core problem is that the network infrastructure in most of these countries is lousy to nonexistent. A lack of access to broadband and data servers in developing countries limits the scope of cloud computing, as a United Nations report explains: "Many low-income countries rely on mobile broadband networks that are not ideal for cloud computing because of their low speed, and access to affordable broadband is especially poor in the least-developed countries."
Cellular networks are the best way to get connectivity in emerging countries these days, but the lower speeds and higher latency of those networks don't support the use of most cloud-based platforms. Cloud providers still assume bandwidth is cheap and plentiful, so they don't have good solutions for those countries when the bandwidth is not there.
What's needed is a focus on building cloud-based platforms specifically for these emerging markets. They call for cloud services that are defined and designed to run over low-speed networks, as well as deal with specialized security concerns -- all at a very low price, which means the payoff for the effort is iffy.
Although many cloud providers pay politically correct lip service to the use of the cloud in emerging countries, there isn't enough money to create new versions of their cloud services for this low-revenue market. The best approach would be for international organizations to fund these types of clouds and offer them to those in emerging markets at a greatly reduced cost. At some point in the future, perhaps they could be spun out as private companies. That model worked well in the United States for large swaths of the tech industry whose basic funding came from the Defense Department and was later commercially productized, but the scale needed for emerging-world cloud is much larger.
Don't let the warm and fuzzy vision of cloud computing magically solving all of poor nations' ills. Instead, let's focus on solving specific problems there.

|TechShop Partners with Autodesk to Offer Inventors Access to Cutting Edge Software and Training
MENLO PARK, Calif.
, September 8, 2010 --
TechShop, Inc. is partnering with Autodesk, Inc. to bolster the ability of TechShop members to bring their dreams to life --everything from laser-cut metal flowers and custom-welded bike frames to a gyroscopic, motorized bar stool. With existing locations in Menlo Park, Calif., and Durham, NC -- and locations in San Francisco and San Jose opening up soon -- TechShop is a member-based workshop where inventors, hackers, tinkerers, artists, entrepreneurs, and arts and crafts enthusiasts go to build the things they have always wanted to make.
Autodesk will provide TechShop locations with its leading portfolio of Digital Prototyping software, so that TechShop members can better design, visualize and simulate their ideas. The donated software includes copies of AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor Professional, Autodesk Inventor Fusion Technology Preview, Autodesk Inventor Publisher, Autodesk Alias Design, Autodesk Showcase, Autodesk SketchBook Pro, and Autodesk Mudbox. Autodesk will also provide high-end workstations to run the software within the TechShop collaborative work areas.
As part of the partnership, Autodesk will train TechShop's in-house experts, so that they, in turn, can train members to effectively use and benefit from the software. Further underscoring their commitment to the TechShop community, Autodesk employees will participate in the various TechShop locations as active and contributing members.
"TechShop's goal is to empower members with a wide variety of new capabilities so that they can make new, exciting things and build their dreams," said Mark Hatch, chief executive officer of TechShop. "Our partnership with Autodesk aligns perfectly with this vision."

Alleged Sandusky victim details abuse
NOTE: This article contains graphic content that may be triggering for some readers.
By CNN Wire Staff
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- The man whose accusations of sexual abuse helped trigger a criminal investigation, upending the storied Penn State football program, said Tuesday that he stayed at Jerry Sandusky's house more than 100 times as a boy, where the former assistant football coach repeatedly sexually abused him.
Now 18, the man identified as "Victim No.1," said he grew up without a father, living with his mom and siblings, and met Sandusky at Second Mile, a foundation the former coach created for needy children.
"At first he would kiss me on the forehead goodnight," Victim No.1 testified on Tuesday. "Then it was kissing me on the cheek, then rubbing my back and cracking my back."
"I spaced," the alleged victim said. "I didn't know what to do."
Later, the former coach allegedly told him that "it's your turn," he added. "He made me put my mouth on his privates."
The man's emotion-filled descriptions were often accompanied by tears, kicking off the second day of testimony in the high-profile child rape case.
The grand jury report cited evidence that Sandusky, who has pleaded not guilty, "indecently fondled Victim 1 on a number of occasions, performed oral sex on Victim 1 on a number of occasions and had Victim 1 perform oral sex on him on at least one occasion."
The teenager, who transferred schools amid the fallout from the investigation, graduated from his new high school this past weekend, according to his attorney Michael Boni.
He is one of 10 boys who, prosecutors say, were sexually abused by the Nittany Lions' longtime defensive coordinator over a span of 15 years. Sandusky's trial on 52 charges is expected to continue for about three weeks.
The alleged victim's elementary school wrestling coach also testified Tuesday, saying that he'd seen interactions between Sandusky and the boy and "thought it was a great thing because (the boy) needed a father figure."
But Joe Miller recalled one day when returned to the weight room and found Sandusky and the alleged victim "laying together side to side" with his arm on the boy.
"At the point Jerry propped up and said 'Hey there, we're working on wrestling moves,' " he testified. "They were both startled that I came in."
On Monday, the first person to take the stand after opening statements was a now 28-year-old man identified as Victim No. 4. He said that Sandusky routinely had the then-teenage boy perform oral sex on him while the two showered together on the school's campus and elsewhere
"It would have to be 40 times, at least," he said, adding that the abuse started when he was 14-years-old.
The man on the stand Monday, as well as Victim No.1, met Sandusky through Second Mile, the nonprofit group the ex-coach founded.
He described growing up without parental oversight before Sandusky took to him -- playings sports with him, paying for uniforms, a snowboard and other items, taking him to Penn State games and doing other special things. Victim No. 4 said Sandusky also drove him to buy marijuana once when he was 15 or 16 and had bought him cartons of cigarettes.
Despite what he described as systemic sexual abuse, the witness said he was "scared" and reluctant to talk about it and "lose the good things I had." But he said he decided to tell his story after hearing that "this happened over and over and over again."
While Sandusky said he wanted him to succeed and was nice to him in public, Victim No. 4 said their relationship was different in private.
"He treated me like a son in front of other people. Outside of that, he's treating me like his girlfriend," he said, noting Sandusky's habit of putting his hand on the then-teen's thighs when they drove in a car together.
Besides the alleged oral sex, Victim No. 4 detailed other instances of alleged abuse, including Sandusky trying to penetrate him in the shower, caressing him and "kissing ... my thighs."
This allegedly took place in athletic buildings on Penn State's campus, as well as the Toftrees Golf Resort and hotels, including on trips to Florida and Texas to watch the Nittany Lions play at the Outback and Alamo bowls, respectively, Victim No. 4 testified.
Jurors were shown excerpts of letters Victim No. 4 said Sandusky wrote to him. In one, it states, "I know that I have made my share of mistakes. ... My wish is that you care and have love in your heart. Love never ends."
Defense attorneys had filed a motion earlier Monday seeking to keep out testimony involving prosecutors' allegations Sandusky exhibited "grooming behavior," including the letters to Victim No. 4.
The lawyers said they intend to offer expert testimony from a psychologist who "will explain that the words, tones, requests and statements made in the letters are consistent with a person who suffers from a Histrionic Personality Disorder," the documents said.
According to the National Institutes of Health, those with histrionic personality disorder "act in a very emotional and dramatic way that draws attention to themselves."
"The goal of a person suffering from this disorder in writing those letters would not necessarily be to groom or sexually consummate a relationship in a criminal manner, but rather to satisfy the needs of a psyche belabored by the needs of such a disorder," the defense lawyers write in their motion.
LaVar Arrington, a former Penn State star linebacker whom Victim No. 4 mentioned, wrote in The Washington Post on Tuesday that he "knew this young man fairly well but didn't grasp the full extent of what he was going through."
"He always seemed mad or kind of distant," Arrington wrote. "I remember distinctly asking him: 'Why are you always walking around all mad, like a tough guy?' "
Arrington had defended Sandusky when the allegations first surfaced, but offered his apology in Tuesday's article.
"I hate everything that has happened, and now I must admit I feel even worse, knowing what allegedly was happening so close to me, and that I was unaware," he wrote. "All I can do is hope that Victim #4 finds this entry and can see that I'm offering my sincerest apologies. I am so sorry this happened."

Every time a family band reaches a certain level of fame and arrives in Utah, it's compared to The Osmonds.The comparison usually is incorrect, and often an insult to the Beehive's most famous musical ambassador family.But when an actual Osmond gives her seal of approval, we probably should pay attention.Marie Osmond invited Florida-born siblings Brandon & Savannah to perform on her talk show "Marie" in January, calling them a "teen sensation" on the air."There just hasn't been that many brother-sister acts, so it's really great when another act joins the club," she said of the pair, introducing them as "the newest brother-sister act on the rise."The Hudson siblings Brandon, 15, and Savannah, 13 will perform for the first time in Utah as part of a Radio Disney-sponsored tour. R5, another act with four members of the same family, headlines the show.In a telephone interview, Savannah Hudson said it was "such an honor" to be dubbed "the next Osmonds" by so many."We've been compared to Donny and Marie since we were little," added Brandon Hudson, so it was "surreal" to meet Osmond and receive advice from her after the taping of the show."They did so much, they really stood out," he said. "We [too] want to be different from everyone else."Brandon wrote his first song, "Sometimes," when he was 8. It was a love song, though he now admits that at that point, "I didn't even know what love was." All he knew is that every song on the radio mentioned the word "love."The lyrics to "Sometimes" were written in a journal with many other romantic songs, and at first, it got him into trouble. "My mom saw all these notebooks I wrote about love, and she got worried," Brandon said. She immediately took him to a therapist, but the counselor assured the mother her son was fine. Since then, the two write all of their own songs.Last summer, the guitar-propelled duo performed across the country on the long-running "Camplified" tour. Based on the success of their single "All the Runaways," they're ready to warm up the crowd for R5 all spring.Another family act • R5 performed in Utah last summer and is returning to support its new EP, "Loud." The band includes siblings Riker, Rydel, Rocky and Ross Lynch and friend Ellington Ratliff. The Lynch family grew up in Littleton, Colo., before moving to California to pursue music and acting careers.The family has done well. Riker, the oldest at 21, is one of The Warblers on the Fox TV show "Glee," and 17-year-old Ross has a lead role on the Disney Channel's hit show "Austin & Ally." The show, created by the people behind Disney Channel sitcoms "Sonny with a Chance" (starring Demi Lovato) and "Jonas" (starring the Jonas Brothers), has been renewed for a third season.The guitar-propelled pop-rock quintet writes and records songs and on occasion has been compared to a certain famous family from Utah."People say Osmonds, the Jackson 5, and I always take it as a compliment," Riker Lynch said in a recent telephone interview.The group has recorded one song for its first full-length album with Disney's Hollywood Records, but in the meantime it is promoting "Loud," released on Feb. 19. "We wanted to have a little bit of a teaser," Riker said of the EP. "We wanted [the songs] to be fun and upbeat. We wanted it to be loud."If the Lynch siblings ever need advice on how to succeed in show business, they can always ask their famous Utah cousins the talented brother-sister duo of Julianne and Derek Hough, who dance, sing and are veterans of "Dancing With the Stars." In fact, every few months, the Houghs and Lynches get together in Los Angeles to trade stories and talk shop.
"Loud Tour"R5 with Brandon & SavannahWhen • Tuesday, March 19, at 7 p.m.Where • In The Venue, 579 W. 200 South, Salt Lake CityTickets • $16 in advance, $18 day of, at SmithsTix

My mother was raised in Puerto Rico. It seems Puertoriccan dishes are often overlooked but they are very tasty.
This is a great local American BISON Burger that honors the Tradition of the Ponca People and the ability they displayed to take the meager ingredients available to them and create a food that has
I am a vegetarian who is all about flavor!!! Many of my friends and family have eaten this and don't miss the meat at all.
What's not to love about this juicy burger stuffed with ham and cheese then topped with Canadian bacon and a succulent cheesy shrimp sauce?
I learned how to make these burgers from a friend in Texas. As you know Texas is the bar-b-que capital of the world. Over the years I have fine tuned this recipe The secret ingredient is love.
This burger is all beef yet gives you twist by adding flavors of the Islands.

Reviews of this property
The apartment is charming, quiet and well situated. It has everything that you need. I would suggest a couple of improvements : 1. The fridge needs to be changed or fixed as it was leaking water. 2. The extra pillows have to be changed as they were too dirty.
Great location, directly behind the Centre Pompidou, bakery right around the corner. Despite the central location, wonderfully quiet and comfortable. Only criticism cleaning lady could be a bit neater, had first various animal hair reasonably eyes.
Tolle Lage, direkt hinter dem Centre Pompidou, Bäckerei direkt um die Ecke. Trotz der zentralen Lage herrlich ruhig und komfortabel. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Putzfrau könnte etwas ordentlicher sein, mußte erstmal diverse Tierhaare wegsaugen.
good place. small apartment but perfect for 2. clean and everywhere nearby.
goede plek.
klein appartement maar voor 2 perfect.
schoon en overal dichtbij gelegen.
Perfect apartment in lovely neighborhood and easily accessible by Metro. Especially the separate bedroom is nice and spacious apartment if you're a couple.
Prima appartement in heerlijke buurt en makkelijk bereikbaar met metro. Vooral de aparte slaapruimte is fijn en appartement ruim als je met z'n tweeën bent.
Nice flat with everyting you need. We stayed four persons, and it worked out fine!
Good location...you can walk to almost everything.
And all you need just a few steps out of the door.
Great spot. Family of 4 for 5 nights. not a big apartment but if you are out and about great spot and clean apartment.
This apartment has everything needed to live in Paris for a good period of time. The kitchen is extremely well furnished and even included a dishwasher and a washing machine. The location of the apartment cannot be beat; it is right in the midst of everything within a short walk to several Metro stops. The only drawback is that the building does not have a lift and has narrow steep winding staircases; however, once the luggage was installed that could be overlooked. In addition there is everything you need to live: Patisserie across the street, butcher next door, cafes three doors down, grocery a block away, laudramat with dryers three blocks away! Not only this, the apartment is adorable!!

HOUSTON - Officials with the University of Houston have released the names of the three officers it recently fired.
David Davison, Pedro Jasso and Mathew Wilson were terminated after they failed a "test of integrity" and for a violation of department policy following an investigation of some missing appliances that had fallen out of a delivery truck on campus, officials said.
Students said the news of the firings was upsetting, especially after the recent rash of armed robberies and other crimes on campus.
The officers involved haven't been charged with a crime, but UofH Chief of Police Ceaser Moore said things like this shouldn't happen.
"I am deeply disappointed by the circumstances that have come to light as a result of our investigation into this incident," said Moore.
Carl Carlucci, the Executive Vice Chancellor said reasons for the firing are clear.
"We will not tolerate a lapse of integrity or any action by our police officers that fails to reassure the university community and the public that we are here to protect and serve," said Carlucci.
Officials with UofH said the officers have the option of appealing the terminations.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has an amazing ability to bring clarity to complicated world events by pulling apart the pieces and, often, finding apt analogies that enhance his messages. He did it in a column titled "Help Wanted."
In it, Friedman talks about one of his favorite topics — the merger of globalization and the information technology revolution — and its impact on countries from around the world. He's struck by the similarity of remarks by activist journalists in both Egypt and Russia who were commenting on the pushback that those countries' leaders encountered when they tried to simply reappoint themselves leaders of their respective countries.
"The days of leading countries or companies via a one-way conversation are over," Friedman quotes Dov Seidman, the CEO of LRN, a workplace culture consultant, and the author of the book "How." "The old system of 'command and control' — using carrots and sticks — to exert power over people is fast being replaced by 'connect and collaborate' — to generate power through people."
Leaders and managers cannot just impose their will, adds Seidman. "Now you have to have a two-way conversation that connects deeply with your citizens or customers or employees."
"As power shifts to individuals, leadership itself must shift with it," argues Seidman, "from coercive or motivational leadership that uses sticks and carrots to extract performance and allegiance out of people to inspirational leadership that inspires commitment and innovation and hope in people."
The role of today's leaders, writes Friedman, is to get the best of what is coming up from below and meld it with a vision from above.
That's heady stuff! And yet Friedman's deft touch makes it easy to take in and understand. It left me inspired about the mission of of the new Sales & Marketing Management magazine and its online companion. Our aim is to help you steer through the newfangled world of managing teams and extracting improved performance through collaboration.
We'll both get more out of it if we create a two-way conversation. Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you think of this first issue, as well as what topics you want more information on, online and in upcoming issues.

A Muslim group named as Cordoba Initiative (CI) proposed the project to the Municipality of New York. The center is planned to be built in an area where there is an old textile factory standing two blocks away from the destroyed Towers in Manhattan. CI's Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, told that the mosque will be established in an area which is called as Ground Zero, and will open its doors to everyone while removing away any unfavorable belief against Muslims after September 11 attacks.

Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport - Upstate South Carolina's Gateway to the World : A HISTORY
by Dave Partridge
"This is the story about the dream of a regional airport that became the catalyst that spurred regional cooperation and helped save Upstate South Carolina's economy. More than the history of an airport, it is also a fascinating glimpse at the success story that has changed our nation and made our world smaller: the development of aviation."
