I guess I'd see it this way (starting pitchers only) . . .
Top level (guys who clearly rank as major prospects, no particular order):
Level two (guys who are pushing toward or have an evident chance to attain the top level, no particular order):
Level three (guys who are looking pretty good, and who knows?, no particular order)
Level four (guys who are still in the picture to varying degrees, no particular order)

I like the way you broke that down Mace. I would probably bump Garrett up a level, but aside from that I don't know that I would change anything else.
Langfield has put up some impressive stats. Under 5 in H/9 and over 13 in K/9. His BB rate is still a little high, slightly over 4 per 9. At draft time BA noted that he had 3 strikeout pitches, a FB that can touch 97, a hard slider, and a curve that breaks down with power. A third round pick coming off a college season in which he pitched at least 79 innings, it looks to me as if the Reds have elected to keep him at Billings to keep his innings down and perhaps work on minor adjustments to improve his command.
Schourek might be the best scrap heap/reclamation project of all time
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Watching the Reds-Phils last night, one had to wonder whether the Reds would be more effective v. Phil with some good lefty starting pitching. Phillies' meat of the order is all left handed, Utley, Howard, even the tablesetters hit lefty (Rollins a switch hitter).
Cingrani's left handedness is potentially important. All other things being equal, it would be great to have him in the rotation as an effective lefty against teams like the Phils.
Just one more reason why it would be great if he worked out, and in the rotation.
I've come around to having a guy who effectively limits the other team to only 8 innings to score. They pretty much don't stand a chance in the 9th inning if the Reds have the lead.
Watching him blow away Utley, who has been a pain in the Reds rear the last 2 nights, with a 102 mph fastball was a thing of beauty.
And when people talk about the money.......plenty of other teams are paying their closers $6M to $10M or $12M. Chapman is a bargain right now as a closer. And he's one of the best.

John Manuel from BA provides his take:
Interesting that he likes Travieso more than Corcino or Cingrani, although BA is known to really value draft pedigree/recent draftees.Ben (Miamisburg, OH): Which Reds top arm (Stephenson, Corcino, Cingrani, Traviesio) has the highest upside?
John Manuel: I'm partial to Travieso but haven't heard anything not to like about Robert Stephenson, he's got to top that list. Corcino gets props for being closest to the majors, and his ceiling is more in the 3/4 range for me. There's not a 7 on the scouting report and for some scouts it's all 50s. I would still take him over Cingrani, though I greatly respect what Tony has done this year and since he got into pro ball. He's a power LHP, those are hard to fine. I'd go Stephenson, Travieso, Corcino then Cingrani, but I could see you shuffling the last 3 in any order and defending it.
Go BLUE!!!
I'm a results guy. Following Cueto and Bailey through the minors, all you'd hear is how Bailey was da man, had the better stuff and higher ceiling. In the end, Cueto made it to the majors quicker and is in the running for a Cy Young, while we still debate whether or not Bailey is a #4 or #5 starter.
I've seen way too many guys that have all the pitches, power, right stuff, struggle to put it together, and way too many pitchers that were written off surprise people.

No one has conclusively passed Cingrani, for me.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Todd Frazier is a good example of this. They had him ranked behind Yorman Rodriguez in their preseason rankings. Why? Because Yorman has 'unlimited upside' while Todd was pigeonholed as a utility player. The reality is, Yorman is a physically gifted athlete who is more likely to never make the major leagues than he is to become an impact player. Yet he ranks above Frazier, who pretty clearly had a major league future as a utility man and still had a chance to pan out to be even more. It drives me batty every year seeing half (or more) of those top 10 lists filled with guys who will never make the majors, while guys like Frazier get ignored.
Now, back to the pitchers, I think BA over-rates Travieso & Stephenson because they don't know their weaknesses yet, and they interpret that as him not having any weaknesses rather than a lack of information. On the flip side, they know Corcino and Cingrani's supposed weaknesses, so that makes them lesser prospects than the two recent draftees with unknown weaknesses. They also ignore the biggest weakness of all young pitchers .... staying healthy. Corcino and Cingrani being a couple of years ahead of the kids has value in and of itself, as it reduces the likelihood of them having a career-altering injury before making it to the majors.

The Texas State University Policy and Procedures Statement (UPPS) 07.10.01 for academic integrity establishes the following:
The university expects both faculty and students to respect and follow the Honor Code. For students, this means that all academic work will be done by the individual to whom it's assigned, without unauthorized aid of any kind.
It is the student's responsibility to be aware of the policy on academic misconduct. Students are strongly encouraged to communicate with their respective instructors if there is a question of whether or not a study practice, activity or any other student behavior falls under the umbrella of academic misconduct. Do not put yourself in an untenable position because of your failure to receive approval from your respective instructors regarding student academic activity.
According to the University Policy and Procedures Statement 07.10.01 the following is important information concerning definitions relating to academic dishonesty.
"Violation of the Honor Code" includes, but is not limited to, cheating on an examination or other academic work, plagiarism, collusion and the abuse of resource materials.
"Cheating" in general, but is not limited to, means engaging or attempting to engage in any of the following activities:
1) Copying from another student's test paper, laboratory report, other report, computer files, data listings, programs, or from any electronic device or equipment.
2) Using during a test, printed, audio or electronic materials not authorized by the person giving the test.
3) Collaborating, without authorization, with another person during an examination or in preparing academic work.
4) Knowingly, and without authorization, using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, soliciting, copying or possessing, in whole or in part, the contents of an un-administered test, or other academic products (i.e., study guides, etc.)
5) Substituting for another student or permitting another person to substitute for oneself in taking an examination or preparing academic work.
6) Bribing or coercing another person to obtain an administered test or obtain information about an un-administered test or other academic products.
7) Purchasing or otherwise acquiring and submitting as one's own work, any research paper or other assignment prepared by another individual or by a firm. This section does not apply to the word processing of the rough or final versions of an assignment by a professional service.
8) Submitting the same essay, thesis, report, or another project, without substantial revision or expansion of the work, in an attempt to obtain credit for work submitted in another course.
9) Falsifying data.
"Plagiarism" in general, but not limited to, means the appropriation of another's work and the inadequately or inappropriately acknowledged incorporation of that work in one's own written, oral, visual or the performance of an original act or routine that is offered for credit.
"Collusion" in general, but not limited to, means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing any work offered for credit.
"Abuse of resource materials" in general, but not limited to, means the mutilation, destruction, concealment, theft or alteration of materials provided to assist students in the mastery of course content.
*Please note that not all activities that constitute academic misconduct are listed in specific detail in the UPPS 07.10.10. It is expected that students will honor the spirit of academic integrity and will not place themselves in the position of being charged with academic misconduct.

So a year or so ago I picked up the BBQ Bible because I wanted to learn how to really BBQ instead of just grill. Now we hardly even use our kitchen anymore because we grill so much. Over Christmas weekend I actually saw BBQU on tv and was amazed that there was a website!
Last night I tried to tuna steak w/ wasabi sauce and the huli huli pineapple recipe on this site which I'd seen on tv that day, and let me tell you. It came out great!! I don't have a rotisserie yet so we had to settle for grilled pineapple slices basted in the sauce, but that didn't cause us any trouble.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved at this website and forums!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/11/2012 (1728 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A revolving door of social workers and supervisors had the file on Phoenix Sinclair before she was a year old. Most of them testifying at the inquiry into the death of the little girl in care can't recall the case from 12 years ago -- especially one social worker, who testified Tuesday she was juggling full-time university classes while working full time for Winnipeg Child and Family Services and commuting daily into the city from Brokenhead First Nation.
"I was a very busy person," Delores Chief-Abigosis said.
The provincial inquiry is trying to find out if and how the child welfare system failed Phoenix, who died in 2005 at the hands of her mother, Samantha Kematch and her boyfriend, Karl McKay. Chief-Abigosis hasn't been able to recall details of the case and can't say why there's no record of her having done work on the file from mid-November 2000, when she started working for CFS, and February 2001.
The former social worker at Brokenhead First Nation testified Monday her caseload doubled when she took the job with Winnipeg CFS, 82 kilometres away. On top of that, she said Tuesday, she was attending university full time and her CFS supervisor knew it.
Among the 20 or so cases she was assigned when she started was the Phoenix Sinclair file. Two months earlier, her parents, Kematch and Steve Sinclair, were reunited with the baby apprehended at birth in April 2000. When the baby was returned to them on Sept. 5, 2000, it was with conditions set out in a six-month service agreement. If they didn't comply, it said, they'd risk losing Phoenix to care once more. There were six conditions, including meeting with their CFS worker regularly and having an in-home support worker coach them on parenting and life skills.
Chief-Abigosis didn't visit Phoenix and her family until February 2001 -- nearly three months after she was assigned to the case. There is no record of her doing any work on the file in all of December and January. Chief-Abigosis said she had a demanding caseload and the troubled young family was no different than any other on her list. She testified she may have tried several times to drop in on the family, who had no phone, and failed to make a note of it. She couldn't say why the in-home support worker's contract to teach the parents how to parent wasn't renewed when it expired in December.
She told the inquiry she tendered her CFS resignation in July 2001 partly because the strain of attending school while working full time was taking a toll on her. The other reason was the death of three-month-old Echo Sinclair. Phoenix's sister was born April 29, 2001, to Kematch and Sinclair. Chief-Abigosis didn't know Kematch was pregnant. Echo died July 15, 2001, of an acute respiratory infection. Chief-Abigosis said that was a traumatic event and she decided to quit working for the agency.
Her supervisor at the time, Angie Balan, testified Phoenix's parents were expected to comply with the terms of the six-month service agreement.
When Phoenix was in between social workers -- after a previous worker quit in October and before Chief-Abigosis started and took over the file in November -- Balan said she relied on reports from the in-home support teacher to monitor the couple. There were no reports of any problems, she said, referring to case notes she reviewed. Balan has no recollection of the case and said her supervisory notes from that time have not been located.
She said the case file indicates she met with Chief-Abigosis one month before the service agreement expired to see what was happening on the case. Other than Chief-Abigosis's notes saying she dropped by the home and no one was there, there was no contact with the family or any of their supports and relatives in the community.

Engines — By
the PMY staff
Diesels — Bugatti
|2001 Engine Preview
At the comparatively mundane end of the spectrum is a 62.4-liter V-12 rated at 1,500 hp at just 1600 rpm. (Comparable diesels are rated at 2400 to 2800 rpm.) This slow-turning nature, says Bugatti, results in longer life: "up to 8,000 hours before first overhaul and up to 20,000 hours between major overhaul." Features include dry-sump lubrication, right- or left-handed rotation, and a choice of left- or right-hand mounting of the turbochargers. Price: $225,000 each.
Too tame for you? How about one of Bugatti's radial engines? They're available as a 42-cylinder, 4,000-hp version with six blocks of seven cylinders displacing 147 liters, or a 56-cylinder (eight blocks of seven cylinders) model displacing 196 liters and rated at a healthy 5,320 hp. If either of these sparks your interest, don't forget your checkbook. The former lists for $765,000 and the latter for $900,000.

GNU Webmastering Guidelines
Information for new webmasters
If you're interested in volunteering as a GNU webmaster, please first complete the GNU webmaster quiz.
Table of contents
The rest of this document is long and detailed. Here is a table of contents of the top level items:Working as a webmaster - Using RT - Editing and creating web pages - Announcements - Linking policies - Mirrors - ThankGNU/ThankCRM - Handling common requests - Working with our repositories - More README pages.
By the way, please edit and improve this document!
Working as a www.gnu.org webmaster
All active webmasters have access to the webmasters RT queue, which corresponds to the email address <email@example.com>. This is the primary work queue for webmasters. Please check the queue regularly, take a ticket you can handle, handle it, and reply to the message letting the sender know what has happened, and resolve the ticket. See RT guidelines below for many details.
All active webmasters should be part of the www project on savannah, so changes can be committed. Please join that if you haven't already. Most webmaster tasks are performed by checking out the CVS repository on your local machine, modifying them, and committing the result. Instructions on how to use CVS (you want the "Webpages repository").
All active webmasters should be on the www-discuss mailing list. You should have gotten the subscription and archive information for it when you joined. If not, write chief-webmaster. Additional archives are in /com/archive/webmaster* on fencepost.
Webmasters who are planning to write a significant amount of new material for the site should provide a copyright assignment.
If you find a message to email@example.com that you don't know how to handle, it's probably best to ignore the message for a while. However, if you noticed that something has been pending for more than a few days, it is good to ask the www-discuss list: "Can someone teach me how to handle messages like this?"
As a general rule, things like this are always okay to do:
- Fix typos, misspellings, broken links, and the like (a report of broken links is available at /server/source/linc/linc-report.html The reports are separated by language code.)
- Requests from Richard Stallman <email@example.com>, John Sullivan <email@example.com>, or anyone else at the FSF Distribution Office.
- Requests from one of the maintainers of a software package to change something on web pages about that software package, if it does not seem to conflict with any other webmastering policies.
- Take on one of the tasks we need done for this web server. Cleaning up that task list would also be appreciated. Please inform the www-discuss list if you take a task.
Sometimes people send mails asking us to make links to different software packages. Before making such links, it's important to check the page that the link points to and make sure that it does not make any references to non-free software. When in doubt, it is best to post a summary of what you found on the page back to the webmasters list (but not to the requestor!), and ask someone else to take it from there.
We do not have links to web sites of the well-known GNU/Linux system distributions, or to the well-known BSD system distributions, because all those sites explicitly describe, and facilitate access to, various non-free programs.
Sometimes you might be tempted to rearrange the hierarchy, change the CSS formatting, layout, tagging, or other such wide-ranging things. Before doing anything like this, please consult the www-discuss list.
Webmaster organization
The following organizational rules are not rigid; they are designed to serve us and assign responsibility so that things don't fall through the cracks. Thus, the policies and escalation procedures need not be followed to the letter, but if you aren't sure what to do, it's best to follow these policies.
The GNU Webmaster Group is led by the Chief Webmaster <firstname.lastname@example.com>. You can always find out the identity of the Chief Webmaster by looking at the aliases file on the GNU mail server.
The Chief Webmaster is responsible for making sure that every message sent to webmasters <firstname.lastname@example.com> gets handled eventually. The Chief Webmaster isn't responsible for handling every message; just making sure that someone handles them in a timely manner. The Chief Webmaster is also responsible for training new webmasters, and doing her best to correct mishandled webmaster email, when necessary.
If it isn't clear to the webmasters how to handle a particular issue, the message should be sent to the www-discuss mailing list so that all the webmasters can learn how to handle those issues in the future.
Leaving webmasters
We realize that people's lives change, and we know that you may not want to be an FSF/GNU webmaster for the rest of your life. We ask that you let us know when you want to move on: please don't simply disappear.
When you sign up to be a webmaster, you commit to a certain number of hours a week of volunteer work. If you need to drop below that level for more than a few weeks, or want to stop being a webmaster entirely, please inform <firstname.lastname@example.com> as soon as your situation changes.
Using RT
Mail sent to webmasters is stored in a ticket management system called RT. This system keeps all correspondence about a given issue together, makes sure that no requests are lost, and so on. This section documents the conventions used by the GNU webmasters.
It is useful to be copied on all RT-related mail: new tickets, other webmasters' answers to tickets, and so on. That way we can all learn from each other. If you can actively help with handling RT tickets, please consider this. A number of people can set up your RT account for this, just mail www-discuss.
RT - quick guide
First and foremost: use your judgment, rather than blindly following procedures. If the action on a particular ticket seems questionable to you for any reason, email www-discuss or use the 'Comment' link on the ticket. That said, most tickets fall into one of a few categories, so we try to enumerate the common cases here.
- To see open tickets, visit rt.gnu.org and log in with your assigned RT username/password. (If you don't have one, email www-discuss.) There will be a link to the webmasters queue (among lots of other things) on your RT home page. Once you see the list, clicking on the subject link will open the ticket.
- If the message is spam, click the 'Mark as Spam' link in the top row.
- If the message is in a language you don't understand and it's not spam, or you're not sure if it's spam, click 'Basics', then change the Queue field to 'web-translators'.
- If the message is just a thank-you to us, or something else that doesn't require action on our part, click 'Resolve'.
- If the message is a simple typo or other buglet on a page we maintain, go ahead and fix it, using 'Reply' to tell the submitter what you did, and then 'Resolve' it.
- If the message is a ThankGNU or a ThankCRM see the Thank GNU procedure.
- If the message is about making a link on one of our pages, see linking procedures and information.
- If the message is about adding a graphic or a joke, be sure to get the explicit ok for it to be released under a free license—GPLv3-or-later and FDLv1.3-or-later is good. Then make a new page under /graphics resp. /fun and add it to the index page. rms' requirements for adding items to /fun is in /fun/README.
- If the message is about a mirror, see mirror procedures and information.
- If the message opened a new ticket, but is actually a follow-up to an existing ticket, use the 'Links' feature of RT to combine them. This happens when the original submitter cc'd the message to other recipients, and one of the other recipients sends a reply that includes us—each such reply will (unfortunately) start a new ticket.
- If the message needs to be dealt with by another group, such as sysadmin or licensing, move it to the corresponding queue or otherwise forward it. Specific directions for redirecting tickets.
RT - correspondence vs. comments
You can attach two kinds of information to a ticket: correspondence and comments.
Correspondence will be sent to the person who sent the initial report. Add correspondence when you want to get more information about the report, give the requestor more information about the work being done, let them know it's finished, and so on.
Comments are only seen by the ticket staff: the owner and people listed as AdminCCs. You can use comments to make internal notes about ticket work. For instance, if you do some work on converting an essay of RMS's to HTML, but didn't get a chance to finish yet, you could add a comment saying that you're partially done, so other webmasters know not to work on it (make sure to leave the ticket marked "open"). You should add something as a comment whenever the original requestor doesn't need to see it. Try to make as much correspondence as you can into comments, however.
Unfortunately, the methods for adding either type of correspondence are very similar, so it's easy to get them confused. Be careful.
To add correspondence, use one of the "reply" links on the ticket page, or send mail to <firstname.lastname@example.com> with
[gnu.org #1234]
in the subject line, where 1234 is the ticket number.
To add comments, use one of the "comment" links on the ticket page, or send mail to <firstname.lastname@example.com> with
[gnu.org #1234]
in the subject line, where 1234 is the ticket number.
There is no way to make other modifications except through the web interface. However, there are a couple of macro scripts hanging around for modifying email received in Emacs, or in mbox format. Please check with www-discuss for these.
RT - coordination with others
You will often need to ask other people for more information about how to handle a ticket. If we don't mind showing them a few internals about how we do things—in other words, if they're friends of the GNU project—the best way to do this is to mail them, and make that mail a comment to the ticket as well.
So, say for example that you wanted to ask rms whether a certain link on a page was permissible. You can do this by using one of the "comments" links on the ticket page, and listing the other party (in this case, <firstname.lastname@example.com>) as a CC:. You could also do this by sending a mail with headers like this:
To: <email@example.com>, <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: [gnu.org #1234] Question about link policy
1234 should be the appropriate ticket number.
The former method is more foolproof: RT will change the outgoing mail so that the only address the other party sees is RT's, and any reply will be guaranteed to go into the ticket (also as comments). The latter is fine if you're primarily doing work by e-mail, however.
Note that this won't work with other RT-handled addresses. So, if you add <email@example.com> to the CC field of a comment on a ticket that already exists in webmasters, nothing will come to the campaigns queue. In those situations, create a new ticket in the queue whose attention you want to get, and using the "Refers to" or similar relationship field to connect the two tickets.
RT - ticket status
Here are the possible ticket statuses in RT:
- new is for tickets which have not had work done on them yet. RT assigns new tickets this status automatically; there is no need to explicitly set it.
- open is for tickets which are being worked on. RT will automatically give a ticket this status when comments or correspondence are added; you usually won't need to change a ticket to be open manually.
- resolved is for tickets whose problems have been addressed. Do this when you complete the request outlined in the ticket, or determined it's inapplicable, or otherwise dealt with it. Until it is completely addressed, leave it open.
- deleted is for tickets which are spam (and only spam). This status is set automatically by the 'Mark as Spam' option in the web interface, which is the most convenient way to handle spam tickets.
- rejected and stalled should not be used.
Other considerations regarding tickets' status:
- Feel free to mark tickets as resolved liberally. If new correspondence comes in about them, they will automatically be re-opened. If it is just a random request for which there is nothing in particular to do, simply reply as needed and mark it resolved.
- However, if a ticket is important, it is best to keep it open, even when we need more information. That way, we will keep seeing it, and remember to push for the necessary information, rather than forgetting about it.
RT - ticket escalation
If you'd like to handle a request but aren't sure how to go about it, or think a request is important and may have been overlooked, leave the ticket open, and email the www-discuss list.
RT - misdirected tickets
Sometimes people send mail to webmasters which is best handled elsewhere. When this happens, you can do one of two things: redirect the ticket within RT, or forward it in regular email.
If there's an RT queue which is appropriate for the ticket, move it there. The ticket's queue can be changed under the 'Basics' menu item.
- Move tickets with opinions or inquiries about free software or GNU philosophy, help using specific programs, or other such non-web site-specific questions, to the info queue.
- Move bug reports and other items about the Free Software Directory to the directory queue.
- Move bug reports about fsf.org pages (broken links, typos, layout) to the resources queue.
- Move tickets that are about the actual content of fsf.org pages to the campaigns queue.
- Move tickets that are about FSF memberships to the memberships queue.
- For tickets about system problems with www.gnu.org (e.g., system down, a .symlinks file not creating the symbolic link), try to verify the problem and if it is real, move it to the sysadmin queue.
- Move tickets about a new or existing translation of a gnu.org web page to web-translators. Exception: for happy-birthday-to-gnu subtitles and other FSF campaigns pages on gnu.org, handle them ourselves.
- For tickets about Savannah, email the original message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Move tickets about licensing to the licensing queue.
- Move tickets about accounts to the accounts queue.
- Move tickets about the */allgnupkgs.html pages to the maintainers queue.
- Requests to remove messages from mailing list archives (accessible via http://mail.gnu.org should be forwarded to <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
- Anything else not related to webmastering—including questions about FSF opinions, requests for support, and the like—can be moved to the info queue.
- For tickets about the GNU libc web pages, point the OP to http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html. That is the best way to get the glibc maintainers' attention.
- If the ticket is about the web pages for a specific GNU software package, it is best to send it in private email to the maintainers of that package (they are recorded in the Free Software Directory, or look at the file /gd/gnuorg/maintainers.bypkg on fencepost), and reply to the OP saying that you did so, resolving the ticket.
It's nice to notify a queue's watchers when a misdirected ticket is moved; RT doesn't provide automatic notification. You can do this by sending mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with the original subject line. Just a terse message "Moved ticket 1234 to your queue" suffices.
If there isn't an appropriate RT queue, forward the mail to the appropriate party, and make a comment indicating that you did so (perhaps resolving it, if appropriate). It is usually best not to do this via the RT cc mechanism. Instead, forward the message in normal email.
Editing and creating web pages
Site structure and navigation
The site is divided up into directories by topic—there's a directory for GNU project information and history, a directory for our licenses, and so on. Each of these directories has a page sharing the same name; for example, the /philosophy directory has a page, philosophy.html, which is the main page for this section of the site, and so should provide access to all the material within that directory.
The main directories (/gnu, /philosophy, etc.) are accessible via navigation bars, but some other important directories (e.g. /proprietary) are not (yet?). Every page in these directories should link back to the main page, to allow people to get more information about the topic at hand.
Links should include a full path, if possible. For example, within a specific article in the /proprietary directory, link to /proprietary/proprietary.html, rather than just proprietary.html. This eases maintenance of the site as things get moved around.
Some pages are dynamic and should include a link with the full hostname; a notable example is the Free Software Directory. So, we link to that with the URL <http://www.gnu.org/directory>.
Page templating
All new pages in the main part of gnu.org should use a boilerplate that includes additional files by means of Apache SSIs. Please don't start out with an existing page to create a new one; use the original source of the boilerplate instead.
Page styling
Generic styling for desktops and smartphones is provided by two CSS: /reset.css, and /layout.css, which contains gnu.org-specific formatting.
If some special styling is needed for a specific page, it should be added to the page itself in a <style> element, between the SSI directives that include header.html and banner.html. If the style applies to a single element, it should be normally be added as an attribute.
Note about grids: Very few pages currently use them. In the event you'd like to create one that does, good starting points may be found in YUI version 3, and Pure Grids. The components provided by these libraries are licensed under the modified (3-clause) BSD license.
Mobile devices with very limited resources use /mini.css. This stylesheet is just the YUI reset and base stylesheets, as these devices typically have minimal need for various fonts and no need for fancy layouts.
Printers use /print.css. Note that the header, navigation bars and footer (except copyright and license) are unprintable.
Historical pages (unmaintained translations for the most part) refer to /gnu.css which also loads the mobile CSS, as these pages are usually very basic, plain pages with little or no formatting.
Some software manuals use a dedicated CSS, /style.css.
Announcements: directory links, sitemap, home page
When significant new material is added, notices should be put up to make people aware of it:
- Add a News entry (next section).
- When adding a new page, always add a link to the directory's main page. For example, if you've created a new page in the /gnu directory, add a link to it from /gnu/gnu.html.
- If a new page is sufficiently important, add a link on the home page, /home.html.
Adding news: whatsnew
News items are posted by adding a new "News" entry to the www project on Savannah.
Once that is done there is no need to do anything more. The News item will eventually appear on http://planet.gnu.org. A cron job will trigger planetrss.pl to pull new items from the RSS feed and add them to /planetfeeds.html where they are then included in home.html via an SSI Include directive. Email www-discuss if something seems to be wrong.
Linking policies
One of the most complex aspects of webmastering is following the linking guidelines; however, it's also a very crucial aspect of the job.
We strive to ensure that all pages we promote—all pages which are given links on our site—are friendly to the free software movement. Some pages will obviously not meet such standards; if the site flames the Free Software Foundation, or has no apparent relation to free software and surrounding issues, the link shouldn't be made. Beyond that, however, there are criteria used in determining whether or not it is appropriate to provide a link to a page from ours. They are listed below, in order of descending general importance.
- What's the context of the link?
The link's purpose on our site will play a role in determining how strongly it should be judged against the other criteria. Pages hosting GNU projects will be held to the highest standards. Pages about other free software and given high promotion—for example, included in a GNUs Flash on the main page—are a close second. Links on the philosophy page may be given more leeway in talking about proprietary software; GNU/Linux user group pages should call the system GNU/Linux almost always but are hardly checked on other criteria. Always keep this in mind when deciding how to weigh each aspect of these policies.
- Does the page promote proprietary software?
The big point made by the free software movement is that proprietary software presents an ethical dilemma: you cannot agree to such non-free terms and treat those around you as you would like to be treated. When proprietary software is promoted, people get the impression that it is okay to use it, while we are trying to convince them otherwise. As such, we avoid offering such free advertising, either directly on our site or indirectly through links.
What's tricky about this criteria is the "promotion" point: there's a difference between mentioning proprietary software and making a sales pitch for it. Indeed, the GNU project web site mentions proprietary software throughout, but never gives people the impression that its use does not present ethical problems.
There are two things to keep in mind when determining whether a reference to proprietary software promotes it, or simply mentions it. First, how much information does it offer about the software? Second, how much information is the reader likely to actually gain from this page?
Different pages provide different amounts of information about proprietary software; the more it provides, the more of a problem it poses for us. For example, some pages may link to the primary site for a proprietary software program. Others may describe its functionality in detail. Even the product name given matters; there's a difference between "Windows" and "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition."
The subject of the reference will also play a role in determining how problematic a reference is. If the software is already very popular, it's unlikely that a basic mention of it will be news to the reader. Some examples of proprietary software which are common enough to be considered "well-known" are major operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, Sun OS, HP-UX) and primary common applications such as Office, Internet Explorer, Photoshop, Acrobat Reader, and Flash.
GNU software project pages feel the full force of this policy. Proprietary software should only be mentioned when the software provides support for it, or to compare it against the features of well-known proprietary software. For example, the following text—and not much else—would be acceptable:
w3 is a web browser for GNU Emacs, similar to Internet Explorer. It can run on all platforms GNU Emacs runs on, including GNU/Linux, proprietary Unix systems, and Windows.
Links which appear in other areas, such as the testimonials or philosophy pages, as well as links to user groups may discuss such software in greater detail, but links and other methods of encouragement to "learn more" should still be avoided.
- How does the page compare free software to open source?
Almost all pages which have links on our site should, at the very least, treat free software and open source equally. Failure to do so—whether it be by omitting free software or by implying that open source is superior—is usually unacceptable. GNU software project pages should have little mention of open source. The GNOME page provides a good example of a way to do it tactfully:-
GNOME is part of the GNU project, and is free software (sometimes referred to as open source software).
Any exceptions to this rule should be apparent from the context. For instance, user groups pages may talk in greater detail about open source; we state on the user groups page, "As with our links page, the FSF is not responsible for the content of other web sites, or how up-to-date their information is."
- How does the page treat the GNU project?
Pages which we link to should treat the GNU project well. The primary thing to look out for in this regard is whether the page calls the system GNU/Linux or just "Linux." GNU software project and user group pages should almost never, if ever, fail to do this. Again, exceptions for other pages should be apparent from context.
That said, certain parts of a page should not be considered against these criteria. For example, suppose we were to make a link to a page on a free software news site. Any advertisements or reader comments attached to the article would not be considered when determining whether it met or linking guidelines, since they're understood to be the opinion of their individual authors. Similarly, on user group pages, the content of forums and Wiki pages should not hold weight in these regards.
Finally, some sites are understood to always have exception with most of these guidelines. These sites are usually about issues which are important, but somewhat peripheral, to the free software movement. Several times we have linked to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's site, even though they encourage the use of Flash and talked exclusively about open source software. It's generally understood that since these pages are not primarily about free software, the policies do not hold full force for them.
As a final explanation (coming from RMS): Even for making links from www.gnu.org, we do not *require* that people call the system GNU/Linux or use the term "free software" rather than "open source." We do, however, require that they not promote any non-free software.
If all this seems complicated, that's because, unfortunately, it is. Don't worry; a knack for it comes with time and experience. You may mis-evaluate a few pages as you're learning to get a feel for what's acceptable and what isn't; please don't hesitate to get a second opinion from a more experienced webmaster, or someone in charge like the chief webmaster or RMS. New exceptions will always come up; keep an open mind to that possibility and be ready to handle them properly.
Links to free GNU/Linux distributions
Suggestions for links to GNU/Linux distributions should be handled like this:
- The requestors should be the primary developers of the distro, not just users. If they are users, thank them and ask them to contact the developers in case they want to be listed.
- Briefly check that the distro is a feasible candidate: they should have a clear policy of only including free software, and it should be reasonably apparent how to get the sources and what packages are included. If these things are not present, talk to the requestor about it (politely).
- If there are no glaring problems, ask the requestors to request an endorsement from the (nongnu.org) gnu-linux-libre mailing list. They should include a description of their new distro, a link to their home page, and any other useful info. Our ticket should then be resolved.
- FYI: the gnu-linux-libre list will take over from there. In essence, they will review it in detail for meeting our criteria, and if all seems good, pass it on to the FSF licensing person for final approval.
In any event, webmasters should never simply add new distros that are said to be free to our list. FSF licensing and rms must explicitly approve any additions.
Links to GNU & Free Software User Groups
Requests for links to GNU or Free Software Users Groups can be referred to the LibrePlanet website. Our ticket can then be resolved.
GNU mirrors
When we get a request to add, change, or remove a mirror of ftp.gnu.org, first ensure the mirror meets our criteria, as described on advice for mirrors; that page explains what we ask mirror volunteers to provide. If in any doubt, comment on the same ticket to ask other webmasters' opinion, or check with the webmasters mailing list and/or firstname.lastname@example.com before taking any action.
After confirming the mirror meets our criteria for listing, do this:
- Edit the file /prep/FTP (in CVS); it's plain text, not HTML.
- Run
makein the prep/ subdirectory.
- cvs commit both files FTP and ftp.html. In the commit log message, include the name of the mirror and its location, and the RT number if there is one.
- Update the file /gd/gnuorg/web/FTP.contacts on Fencepost, keeping the pattern as explained at the beginning of the file.
- See next entry about the status of mirrors.
Checking the Status of Mirrors
Mirrors are useful as long as they are kept up-to-date. Outdated mirrors can even be harmful, since downloading old versions of software may involve security risks for users. Checking the status of mirrors is therefore an essential part of the process of adding/modifying mirrors.
A mirmon page tracker (maintained by savannah) shows how up-to-date each mirror is. When a mirror has gotten more than a few days out of date, it is necessary to contact its maintainers and let them know about the problem so that they can fix it. For examples on how to do this, search the RT system for tickets with subjects containing "[Mirror Status]".
If a mirror needs to be removed, please check to see if it is referenced on /server/mirror.html and remove that entry as well.
The address http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/PKG (also maintained by savannah) multiplexes between the mirrors, trying to choose one that is nearby and up to date.
nongnu mirrors
When we get a request to add, change, or remove a nongnu savannah mirror, email email@example.com with the information. The reason to use -private is to avoid the contact address from becoming public. If the email address of a mirror admin is not involved or there are no other privacy issues, it's better to use email@example.com.
www mirrors
We no longer recommend or list mirrors of www.gnu.org.
Mirror contact information
When we get a request relating to a mirror, please check the file /gd/gnuorg/web/FTP.contacts on Fencepost and add contact information if it's not there already, or update it, if necessary. We lack information for many older mirrors, or the data we have is not up to date.
Ibiblio URL changes
If we are told or determine that there is a change in the rsync URL or the advertised source mirror URLs for ibiblio, all mirror maintainers should be informed. This requires hand-assembling a list of addresses from the FTP.contacts file based on the current mirror list.
- For a corporation, confirm that they are not a current patron. Occasionally, a patron may accidentally donate via the standard FSF donation form.
- For an individual, add it to the appropriate /thankgnus/YYYYsupporters.html file in the correct place with a commit message such as "Add John Doe to YYYY >= 500$ ThankGNU list (RT #1234)" and comment the ticket with something simple like "Done".
- Mention in a RT comment whether you added an entry or not. The script sending out the messages has bugs. The occasional case of a person donating the same amount twice is handled by FSF staff.
- Finally, move the ticket into the 'campaigns' queue.
Things to watch out for:
- Do not quote the dollar amount in the commit message or anywhere else, just the name, ticket number and category.
- Do not 'Reply' to sysadmin on these messages; they are automatically generated.
- Do not post a ThankGNU for Google Matching Gifts.
Handling common requests
There are a number of requests which recur frequently. This section documents guidelines for handling these types of requests.
Those requests which are extremely straightforward—for example, fixing typographical errors, or problems in HTML formatting—are not documented here. Only requests which may require non-obvious action are listed.
Fixing dead links
Please check the broken link report regularly and handle them. If a link has gone bad because a page has moved, try to find its replacement. If you are successful, re-check the page to ensure that it meets our linking criteria, and if so, add it. If you do not find a replacement, remove the link—if it's central to the page, you may need to make a note explaining that the resource is no longer available. If the page no longer meets our linking criteria, you'll have to make a judgment call, and weigh the value of the link against its problems'; you may want to mail the person who wrote the page with the link or www-discuss to get a second opinion.
If you do remove a link from a page that we don't maintain—for instance, the page for a piece of software which is kept up-to-date by the maintainer—please notify them of the problem and what you did to fix it.
Adding links
We'll sometimes be asked to add links to the page; most often, this will come from RMS, asking us to add a page to the Other People's Views section of the philosophy page or as part of a GNUs Flash to the front page.
If the person requesting the link is a friend of the GNU project, check the page against our linking criteria, and if it passes, add the link as requested. If it does not meet our linking criteria, send mail back to the requestor, saying so and outlining in detail what the problem(s) with it are.
If the suggestion is coming from someone outside the GNU project, check the page against our linking criteria, and if it passes, forward the suggestion to the appropriate party. If the link would be part of the main GNU site, that would be someone who can speak for the GNU project, such as RMS. If the link would be part of a software page, direct it to the person responsible for the program's site—if no other contact is given, that would be the maintainers themselves. If you're told that adding the link is acceptable, do so. If the link fails to meet the linking criteria, thank the original requestor for their suggestion and explain that we don't feel the link is most appropriate for our site.
Adding new articles
Occasionally, RMS will mail an article, usually in plain text, to webmasters and ask that they put it on the site. The text needs to be converted to the HTML and put into our standard boilerplate; you can use /boilerplate.html to provide a template for the header and footer, or base your page from another article. There are some things which you should look out for when doing the conversion:
- When they exist, preserve double spaces after sentence breaks.
- Ensure that the article's title is put in both the <title> tag and in the <h2> text at the top of the page.
- Put the author of the article in the page's header as well.
- Provide a link back to the directory's main page. If it is a speech or an interview, briefly state the topic.
- New pages (and existing pages) should have a timestamp at the bottom. See the boilerplate file for the precise location and format.
Writing and reviewing items for /proprietary
If you plan to write or review an item for a page in /proprietary, please refer to these guidelines.
Announce the page on the site.
Web pages for official GNU software
GNU software maintainers usually gain CVS write access to their /software subdirectory by registering their project with Savannah. (In the past, they provided webmasters with pages for us to install on the site, but that is no longer the best procedure.)
In general, package maintainers are responsible for their own content, and thus webmasters should not make changes to package-specific web pages unless we're asked to. We do have the technical permission to check out any GNU (or non-GNU) web repository from savannah and commit changes, if a maintainer asks us to, or confirms a particular change.
Translations: Adding and deleting
Adding: Occasionally, someone will send us a translation of a single page. Move these tickets to the web-translators queue.
Deleting: Here and there you might find a translated page which is actually a copy of the original page (i.e., not a translation at all), or translations which seem like they should not exist in their current form for whatever reason. In such a case the best thing to do is to ask the relevant translation team for the reasons they put the page there (please, make sure to CC firstname.lastname@example.com on such cases). They might have reasons you are not aware of. In case you do not get within two weeks a satisfactory reason for the page to be left alone, you can handle it as you see fit.
Requests for permission to use an image
When someone emails requesting permission to use an image from the Art section of the site, the first thing to do is to check the web page that the image is on. Most of the images have a clear license on the page with them. If the permission being requested are reasonable but are incompatible with that license, forward the ticket to the licensing queue. Otherwise draw their attention to the license.
If the web page with the image on does not have a clear license and the request is a clear-cut "yes" or "no", respond to the requestor directly and explain the decision with reference to GNU policy. For more difficult cases forward to licensing.
When considering a request, err on the side of caution. If the use of an image isn't something we'd link to, for example, then it isn't something we should give permission for. Feel free to discuss any requests with www-discuss before responding to them.
Handling press releases
Occasionally, the webmasters are asked to handle press releases. These are in the /press directory. You should always make both a text and HTML version, and follow the format used for other press releases. (Some do have PDF and Postscript, but webmasters need not worry about that at the moment).
Currently, it is often johns who handles the text version of a press release. He will normally commit the ASCII version, and then tell webmasters to do the "rest" or "DTRT" (do the right thing) with it. Sometimes the file will be emailed to webmasters instead. You will also be given a date and time when the press release should be up.
At present, always check with johns before posting any press releases sent in by other parties, and note that johns will always GPG-sign his messages about press releases.
To handle one of these requests, here is what you should do:
- Make an HTML version of the ASCII file, following the
format used for other press releases. Be sure to change the
METAtags for
Descriptionto reflect the new press release. Also, make any URLs in the press release into actual links.
- Make an entry at the top of the list on /press/press.html for the press release.
- Add an entry to the whatsnew page.
- Make the whatsnew entry a GNUs Flash (add an asterisk to the entry) unless the request to post the release specifically says not to put a note there.
- A release date and time "window" will be included in the request to
post it. The
cvs commitshould only be done in that window. If you won't be able to do it then, use the
makepatchcommand (it's in the makepatch package of Debian) to send a patch back to johns, and put URGENT in the subject line.
- The final step is submitting it as a story to as many news sites as possible (linuxtoday.com, slashdot.org, and newsforge.com should definitely be done). This can be done later in the same day as when the release goes up, but should also be done the same day.
Working with webmaster-related repositories
Main www repository:To make an initial checkout, set the environment variable CVS_RSH=ssh, and run
cvs -d <username>@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/www co www
You should end up with a directory www with the CVS checkout of our web site.
CVS cheatsheet: use cvs add foo to add a file or directory. Use cvs update -P foo before you commit a file, and cvs commit foo to perform the commit. Changes (except to .symlinks files) should be instantly visible on www.gnu.org. For further details on cvs, such as reverting to a previous version, or see diff output of particular changes, see the CVS documentation.
Without being excessively verbose, log messages should describe as clearly as possible the nature of the commit including any related ticket numbers from RT to allow future historians to understand why your changes were made.
Whenever possible, changes to multiple files that share the same log message should be bundled in one commit. Do not bundle multiple unrelated changes in one commit.
audio-video repository: Use audio-video instead of www and you will get the repository corresponding to audio-video.gnu.org. Discuss any changes to audio-video with firstname.lastname@example.com.
The task of adding material to this repository is currently being handled by the GNU and FSF audio and video group in Savannah, so when we get a request to add a video or audio file, we should either submit a new task there or forward the request to their mailing list at <email@example.com>.
Other packages: Many software packages have their own projects on Savannah and hence their own web repository corresponding to their www/software/fooproject directory. If the maintainer needs your help with one of their web pages, you can get to it like this:
cvs -d <username>@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/fooproject co fooproject
Do not edit the web pages for software projects unless the maintainer says ok. At the very least, inform them if you make a change.
A description of scripts and software used on www.gnu.org is available. Please read it before writing any scripts, and also update it as needed.
Symbolic links
Since CVS is not able to handle symbolic links directly, a separate mechanism has been implemented to allow webmasters to maintain symbolic links, as follows. (Actual symbolic links are no longer created on www.gnu.org; mod_rewrite rules are used instead. But we'll keep this discussion talking about symlinks since it is easier to understand that way.)
Being a symlink means that relative links from the linked page may break when the symlink jumps to a different directory.
Special files, named .symlinks, can be committed to the CVS tree that are interpreted as specifications to build symbolic links. On commit, the current directory is searched recursively for .symlinks files. Only directories containing a .symlinks file are handled.
Each symbolic link specification from the .symlinks file is honored, i.e., the symbolic link is created if it does not exist yet. If a symbolic link is found in the directory and is not listed in the .symlinks file, it is removed.
As a special case, if a page with the directory's name exists, and index.html does not exist, a link will be made from index.html to the main page.
The .symlinks files obey the "ln -s" format, as described below:
Lines starting with a sharp sign ("#") are ignored.
Lines that do not contain two strings separated by white space are silently ignored.
Symbolic links that point outside the web site document root are ignored.
Here is an example of a .symlinks file:
# Make a link named l.html to a target t.html. # Strictly equivalent to ln -s t.html l.html: t.html l.html
On each line the first file name must be a relative path name to an existing file. The file designated by this path must not be outside the document root. The second file name may not contain any slash; it is the name of the symbolic link to be created in the present directory.
As a special case, if a file name ends in ".html", single
line defines links to all possible translations that follow our naming
conventions. As a side effect, this makes it impossible to use
symlinks to redirect to and from HTML files whose names look like
translations, that is,
page.LL.html or
page.LL-CC.html, where LL and CC are two-letter
codes. When you need such redirections, use the htaccess mechanism.
These days, the .symlinks handling happens on www.gnu.org via a cron job that runs twice an hour. Webmasters do not have access to it.
.htaccess and redirections
To browsers, the symbolic links in the previous section are indistinguishable from the actual file. You may want an actual redirection in some cases. You can do this either in the top-level control file .htaccess, or by using something like this as the file to be redirected:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.gnu.org/target">
System administrators
The system administrators for GNU change from time to time. Please email the sysadmin list (firstname.lastname@example.com) rather than an individual, unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Fox now blaming Obama for job losses that occurred before he was elected
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Fox & Friends twice falsely reported that Ohio has lost 400,000 jobs "under the Obama administration," and advanced the claim that as a result, Obama "has a lot of 'splaining to do." In fact, the 400,000 figure includes job losses that occurred for two years before Obama took office in the midst of a deep recession.
Fox claims Ohio has lost 400,000 jobs "under the Obama administration"
From the June 16 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
CARLSON: President Obama back to Ohio this week, where nearly 400,000 people have lost their jobs during this administration. John Kasich, he's running for governor of that state, well he says the president has a lot of 'splaining to do.
DOOCY: In your state, where you want to be governor, Ohio under the Obama administration has lost 400,000 jobs. I know he's heading out there in the next week or so. He's got -- he's in a hole there.
KASICH: Well, there isn't any question about it. He's -- It was the first state where he was under 50 percent approval. People, you know, didn't buy into this early. And look, the tragedy now is that people are wondering about his leadership, you know, is he kind of in over his head?
In fact, that figure includes jobs lost before Obama was elected or took office
Republican Governors Association: "Ohio has lost over 400,000 jobs since" January 2007. The "Ted Failed Ohio" campaign from the Republican Governors Association states that "Ohio has lost over 400,000 jobs since Ted Strickland became governor." Strickland took office in January 2007. Kasich himself has campaigned on the fact that Ohio has lost nearly 400,000 jobs since January 2007, though he did not correct Doocy's claim that all of these job losses occurred since January 2009, "under the Obama administration."
Ohio lost 393,568 jobs from January 2007 to December 2009, the bulk of which came after the recession began in December 2007. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in Ohio fell 393,568 from a peak of 5,661,252 in January 2007 (two years before Obama was inaugurated) to 5,267,594 in December 2009. From seasonally adjusted BLS Ohio employment data:
NBER: Economic activity began to decline in December 2007. The National Bureau of Economic Research announced on December 1, 2008, that based on "economy-wide measures of economic activity," including domestic production and employment, the recession began in December 2007
Ohio has been gaining jobs in 2010. BLS data indicate that Ohio has added jobs during each month of 2010, through April.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – In the first day of competition at the Courtyard Boca Raton Invitational tournament, the Saint Leo volleyball team swept the competition, defeating the Daemen College Wildcats by a score of 3-1, just before taking a three-set win over the Seton Hill Griffins.
The day began with an 11 a.m. match against Daemen College, whom the Lions defeated in four sets (25-14, 25-17, 21-25, 25-11). It was senior Meghan Donovan who led the team in kills for the match, tallying 11 and earning a .350 kill percentage. In addition, sophomore Jillian Stolzenburg and juniors Tawni Warren and Lauren Campbell each collected ten kills apiece, while senior setter Jaclyn Mailoto tallied 40 assists in the contest. On the defensive side of the ball, both Warren and junior-transfer Yaidimar Santiago led the team with nine digs each.
After collecting a win over the Wildcats, Saint Leo prepared themselves for a match against Seton Hill. The Lions were able to build off of the momentum from the first win, and the second victory of the day came in just three sets (25-20, 25-21, 25-11). After a notable performance in the first match, it was Stolzenburg who led the team in kills, collecting 11. Campbell and Warren followed closely behind, notching nine and eight kills, respectively. Once again, Santiago put on a defensive performance by collecting 13 kills, while Mailoto notched 36 assists in the win.
Saint Leo hopes to continue the momentum tomorrow when they take on both UPR-Mayaguez and Fort Valley State in the last day of the Courtyard Boca Raton Invitational tournament. The Lions' first match of the day is set for 9 a.m.

I have four form fields that should be autocompleted based on the input of the user, in the following way: when the first field is filled in, the second field should be filled with the first one's value * 2. When the 3rd field is filled, the fourth one should be filled with this third value * the first one.
I have no problems with the first two fields, but the third and fourth one keep returning 0 as a result.
$(function() {
var $val1 = 0;
var $val2 = 0;
$('input[name="first"]').keyup(function() {
$('input[name="third"]').keyup(function() {
$val2 = parseInt($(this).val());
Your code works for me, apart from seeing NaN when you first click in an empty field.
You may have to provide a sample test page that allows us to experience the same issue that you're facing.
Sure, here you go: Area Linea Domus - Login
Credentials are: test test
Go to the bottom of the page, there is only one row, click on Edit. Now if I insert, let's say, 2 into Coppie, Persone becomes 4, but if I write 20.00 into Contributo a coppia, Contributo serata remains 0 (it should be 20.00 * 2).
The script seems to be in file called calcoloautomatico.js
Could the reason be due to the keyup code for that second field being commented out?
Sorry, I forgot to update the code in the online version. The content of calcoloautomatico.js is the one I've posted in my first post in this topic. Even if nothing is commented out, I get the same problem.
When trying to edit, there is now the message:"Non è possibile modificare un incontro di cui non si è il relatore."
It should work now
That seems to work now.
Well, you are lucky, because it doesn't work for me lol
Okay, I'll now move from trying in Chrome to trying in IE.
yes, it works for me in IE too. Perhaps your web browser is still caching the old version?
It was a cache problem Thanks!

Oden State Fish Hatchery
Overview: The original Oden State Fish Hatchery was established in 1921 and continued to operate until 2002. The new Oden State Fish Hatchery complex was completed in 2002 and is one of the most advanced fish culture facilities of its kind. This facility is the brown and rainbow trout broodstock station and is a major rearing facility for those two species. The facility has production buildings for rearing and broodstock, outdoor rearing facilities and a state of the art effluent treatment system. The old hatchery has been transformed into a Great Lakes watershed interpretation area, featuring the Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center that includes a replica of a fish transportation railcar.
Location: 8258 South Ayr Road, Alanson, MI 49706.
Photo: Oden State Fish Hatchery - Main Hatchery Building.
Driving Directions: The new interpretive complex is right on US-31 (north side of road) just east of Conway. The railcar, old hatchery building and parking lot are visible from US 31.
The new hatchery complex is just off of US-31 a few miles northwest of Oden. To get to the hatchery complex from the Town of Oden: Take Luce Street in town to Powers Road. Turn left on Powers. Take Powers Road for about 1 mile to South Ayr Road and turn left (only way possible). Hatchery is about ½ mile on the right side. Visitor parking is in front of the main hatchery building. To get to the hatchery complex from Petoskey: Take US-31 north to North Conway Road (about 5 miles) and turn left (only way possible). Take North Conway Road to Powers Road (about 1 mile) and turn right. Take Powers Road for about 1.5 miles to South Ayr Road and turn right (only way possible). Hatchery is about ½ mile down on the right side. Visitor parking is in front of the main hatchery building.
If you would like to get driving directions to the Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center, type "Oden Hatchery Visitor Center" into the map application of your choosing.
Telephone: 231-347-4689
Hatchery Manager: Aaron Switzer
Hatchery Biologist: Dan Sampson
Year Opened: 1921; Major renovations in 2002.
Photo: Oden State Fish Hatchery Postcard from the 1920s.
Renovation History: The last major renovation at the old facility occurred in 1951. The old hatchery, located on US31, was closed in June 2002 and all operations moved to the new hatchery complex, ¼ mile northeast of the old facility.
Photo: Oden State Fish Hatchery as seen in the early 1940s.
The new facility was part of the capitol outlay project to upgrade Michigan's hatchery system. It includes new production buildings for rearing and broodstock, new raceways, an isolation building to allow us to monitor the disease status of species and strains from the Great Lakes drainage prior to moving them to the hatchery proper and a state-of-the-art effluent control system. The new facility cost $11,000,000 and construction was completed in 2002.
Photo: Main Hatchery Building at the Oden State Fish Hatchery.
Photo: Interior of one of the outdoor raceways at the Oden State Fish Hatchery.
Another major upgrade was the development of a Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center at the old hatchery site. The center consists of an interpretive area that boasts a replica of the Wolverine fish transport railcar at the main visitor center, extensive exhibits on watersheds and fisheries history, a watershed trail system, and a rehabilitated stream. The railcar is a historic recreation of the interior of the original railcar, a watershed interpretive area and an interactive computer with hands-on learning opportunities concerning our watersheds and other aspects of fish culture. A trout stream was constructed in the old raceway complex and shows the public how a degraded stream can be repaired. A stream section viewing chamber is located adjacent to the stream. This viewing chamber is a favorite of first time and returning visitors alike. It allow the public to see what happens underwater in a stream. The project was primarily funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Trust (www.glft.org) with additional funding from the Department of Natural Resources.
Photo: Oden Interpretive Area - Replica of the Wolverine railcar once used to transport fish in the early days of fisheries management.
Photo: A young visitor enjoys viewing the trout in the MFVC viewing chamber window.
Production Water: Oden State Fish Hatchery obtains rearing water from 5 wells and has the ability to reuse up to 25% of the water in the outdoor raceway complex. Average water use is approximately 3.0 million gallons per day with seasonal usage ranging between 2.0 and 4.5 million gallons per day. The water temperature of well water is a constant 47 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hatchery Staffing: The hatchery is staffed by a Hatchery Biologist, three Fisheries Technicians, a Fisheries Assistant (currently vacant), a Maintenance Mechanic and a Trades Helper (currently vacant). The Hatchery Manager, Maintenance Supervisor and Secretary all split their time among three facilities. The Visitor Center is staffed by a Park Interpreter and several seasonal staff members.
Broodstock: Oden State Fish Hatchery is the broodstock facility for brown and rainbow trout reared in State-run hatcheries. They maintains broodstock for Wild Rose, Sturgeon River and Gilchrist Creek strains of brown trout and the Eagle Lake strain of rainbow trout. Broodstock are captive fish that are maintained for the easy acquisition of eggs and sperm.
Management Role: This facility produces brown and rainbow trout for both inland and Great Lake waters.
Areas of Interest to the Public: The key areas of interest will be the new interpretive facilities and trails, the replica fish car, the show pond (one of the old hatcheries spring ponds), the broodstock building which have very large brown and rainbow trout, the production raceways and the new hatchery complex. Egg take operations take place from late September into early January. Please call ahead for the egg-take dates if you are interested in watching.
Fish Hatchery and Visitor Center Hours: Oden State Fish Hatchery and Visitor Center Grounds are open to the public 365 days. The Visitor Center hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Tuesday through Saturday) and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (Sundays) in the fall; closed from October 31 through April 30; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Tuesday through Saturday) and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (Sundays) from May 1 through Memorial Day.

Note to followers, readers, and friends on 12/14/13:
So I have recently come to a decision, and I hope that you will support me in this.
My stories have become increasingly popular on Wattpad, and I have come to the decision to begin the road of publishing. I have yet to query my novels or gain an agent, but it's my hope that I will be able to do so by the end of 2014. This Winter Break (of 2013) I will begin to edit my novels and ready them for this process.
Therefore, I will be taking down all of my personal creative writing which includes: To Save a Kingdom, By Order of the King, The Keeper's Children, The Mark of Flame, True Beauty: Rapunzel's Story, Lady Knight (poetry), and Between the Lines (poetry). The only piece I will leave available (and update regularly) is My Guide to Writing.
I still have every intention of helping those of you who want to become better writers. So I've decided to still continue in the Wattpad community, just not as a creative writer, but a guide to those of you who want to get better at the craft. I will still receive messages and respond to them and help as much as I can; however, I will discontinue posting my novels on Wattpad until further notice. Again, feel free to contact me; I will be as available as I always have been.
I want to thank you as my followers for all the wonderful encouragement and support you have given me over the past 3 years I have been apart of Wattpad. Your words and kindness have helped me in ways you wouldn't even begin to understand, not to mention all the constructive criticism that will help me as I begin the editing and revision process.
I will continue to update you on my endeavors, so that if my novels ever become available, you will be able to buy it. I promise, I am not leave Wattpad for another writing site, so if you should see my property displayed somewhere else, please contact me immediately; I would greatly appreciate it. My sole intent is to go through a publishing house so that you may buy my books.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Go with my love,
Amanda Pate

Recently I picked up some Usinger's andouille sausageand last night I grilled it for dinner. It's already fully cooked when it leaves the factory but I still put a nice light char on them to make sure they were nice and hot all the way through.
Those of you who have access to authentic andouille (Kenny 13, I hope you're reading this), what kind of texture and flavor is it supposed to have? I like the Usinger's product but it seemed to be a lot like a kielbasa or smoked sausage that had some heat added, and to be honest I was hoping for something a little more unique.
