The Massachusetts Bar Association has a long history of
advocating for and supporting an impartial justice system that
protects the rights of all involved.
"The special counsel's report to the Supreme Judicial Court
demonstrates that overall the Massachusetts courts are treating OUI
cases in line with that of other states. While drunk driving cases
are a serious matter, judges must remain independent and be
provided the freedom to decide individual cases based on the weight
of the evidence before them and the unique circumstances of each
particular case," said Thomas Hoopes, chair of the MBA's Committee
on Fair and Impartial Courts.
In regard to the high bench trial acquittal rates of certain
judges, the report correctly cautions against drawing any adverse
conclusions about those individual justices. Rather, as identified
by the report, evidentiary barriers and other systemic factors may
contribute to those elevated rates.
The MBA will closely examine the report's recommendations and
work with court and legislative leaders to ensure that the
independence of the judicial system is preserved.

I have built a large from and I have just discoverd my <button></buttom> does not work as a link
I am using
<button onclick="window.location.href='myurl'">Next</button>
, but it is not working
try using the whole protocol:<button onclick="window.location.href='http://myurl'">Next</button>
hope that helps
"IE is buggy and will not submit a form with a button unless there is a type attribute set to "submit" (it should default to "submit" rather than have to be told)." is telling the Sitepoint Reference.So maybe:
<button type="submit" onclick="window.location.href='http://myurl'">Next</button>
or instead:
<input type="button" value="Next" onclick="window.location.href='http://myurl'" />
That has to do with what IE6-8 sends as POST data when the button element is used. It sends the name of the button, but not the contents of the value attribute. Other browsers send the name of the button and the value of the value attribute.
That browser bug wouldn't have an affect here, since it's the onclick attribute that is being used.
The best approach would be just to use an anchor element and use CSS to make it look like a button, and forgo the use of a button.
.button, form button, form input[type="button"], form input[type="submit"], #conten form input[type="reset"] {
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em .4em .2em .4em;
font-size: 1.2em;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
.button:hover, form button:hover, form input[type="button"], form input[type="submit"]:hover, form input[type="reset"]:hover {
text-decoration: none;
.button:active, form button:active, form input[type="button"]:active, form input[type="submit"]:active, form input[type="reset"]:active {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
Then add borders and background colors/gradients as appropriate.
click me
If you still really want to use a button element:
function newpage(url){
<button onclick="newpage('http://example.org');">click me</button>
Or just
<button onclick="window.location='http://example.org'">click me</button>
Try using this
<input type="submit" value="next" onclick="newpage('http://example.org');" />
I guess this will do
Have your tried using a
 as a button and apply the onclick event on it? Cause if it does not work it may happen that you JS is disable in your webbrowser!
Have your tried using a
 as a button and apply the onclick event on it?
Certainly we wouldn't want to test with an onclick div and then accidentally leave it there, as div's don't have the proper roles, focusability or default behaviour we need for buttons.
This is a form? What's wrong with this
<form action="myurl" method="get/post" (dunno which OP wants)>...<input type="submit" value="Next"></form>
Style input like button. Padding, background color, border-radius, done.

I have been spending my summer creating quilled drawings. For those of you unfamiliar quilling is the Victorian craft of creating picture and decorations with thin strips of coiled paper. This summer I have been bringing this teqnuqie into the 21st century by starting my work in the computer; then I print, cut out, quill and photograph, finally I bring it back into the computer for some finishing touches.
I love Rant with all of my heart and have read it so many times I have lost count. There was so much inspiration I could have tapped into when creating this piece. I considered the tooth fairy and santa clause, that line of thinking lead me to make a totally different work. However I couldn't pass up the chance to create a piece depicting the the moment of time travel.
I can't figure out how to up load the poster to this post, so here is a link to my blog.

The African Wildlife Foundation has been at the forefront of rhinoceros conservation for several decades. In the early 1970s rhino horn was in high demand in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and these magnificent creatures were being poached to the brink of extinction. AWF recognized this alarming development and joined with other conservation organizations to target the consumer market and launch conservation efforts.
The following story ran in the April 19, 2002, issue of The Topeka Capital Journal:
Gorillas top her list - Native of Holland heads organization that tries to preserve mountain gorillas in Africa
by Chris Moon
Mountain gorillas aren't native to Kansas. Not even close.
Ten elephants were gunned downed by a well-organized gang of ivory poachers using automatic weapons in Tsavo East National Park on March 28, 2002, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) reported.
On March 7, 2002, the USAID-Kenya Mission Director, Mr. Kiertisak Toh, participated in the official opening ceremony of the Koija Starbeds in Kenya's Laikipia District.
A Kenyan lioness which perplexed wildlife experts last month by adopting a newborn Beisa oryx at Samburu National Park astonished them again on Valentine's Day by taking on another. When the lioness adopted her first calf last month, animal behaviorists said she had probably mistaken it for a lion cub. But on Friday she showed full awareness of the calf's species, allowing its real mother to feed it before chasing her away.

Charmed Life - page 3
Radiant Star's conversion into a full-fledged yacht began in earnest once she reached Skyline Marina. Here her thick larch hull planks were recaulked from the waterline up and refastened with giant square-cut galvanized boat nails from the waterline down. Her decks were skinned over with a waterproof membrane and then covered with brand-new fir planks, fastened with literally thousands of screws and bungs. And her battered bulwarks boards were replaced with vast slabs of varnished mahogany and adorned with brand-new caprails crafted of purpleheart, a straight-grain wood from the American South.
Interior work took way more time and money. In fact, Buchan was constrained to wax a tad philosophical about the latter subject as we finished our tour of Radiant Star's accommodation spaces, an elegantly transformed, blue-collar-to-blue-stocking construct featuring dark mahogany, white wainscoting, Black Watch tartan, and a charming collection of old steamship furniture. Local artisan David Bass was responsible for the look of it all, I'd gathered, although Buchan and his wife Gwen were a source of near-constant help, thanks largely to where they lived and continue to live—a condo within sight of Radiant Star's slip.
"Years ago," Buchan began with a wry grin, "when I was building the 53-foot Huningford cutter Gwen and I circumnavigated in, I saved every invoice after I'd paid it and the pile grew until—I must admit, Bill—it became a dispiriting thing to look at."
"But with Radiant Star," he went on, the grin widening, "I did differently—I paid the invoices all right, but then I simply tossed them into the wastebasket. It proved to be a much happier situation, I'll warrant you. Much happier."
Concluding his story, the old boy's grin went full-width and he emitted a peal of surprisingly uproarious, zen-masterish laughter, a development that belied a sad detail that had shadowed our visit from the very first—Buchan was selling Radiant Star for $619,000. He'd picked Chuck Hovey Yachts (www.chuckhoveyyachts.com) as his broker.
Of course, we talked about it eventually. "I really shouldn't own a boat like this anymore," he explained, rather wistfully I thought, no doubt deferring to the implacability of old age and the health issues that tend to go along with it.
"But then," he added, seemingly gladdened by the prospect of yet another providential happening in Radiant Star's long, well-traveled, and arguably charmed life. "We've just got a possible buyer, you know. A Scotsman, believe it or not. The broker tells me he's quite familiar with herring drifters and is apparently quite passionate about them, too. He wants to take her back to Scotland. Imagine! Might she be going home at last!"

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday the U.S. government is recommitting itself to ending modern slavery.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the president's anti-human trafficking task force, Clinton noted that September marks the 150th anniversary of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln's announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The order, issued during the U.S. Civil War, freed thousands of black people held as slaves in the rebel southern states. Clinton said its anniversary is a good time for the country to recommit to what she described as "the promise of freedom."
"Around the world, as many as 27 million men, women and children toil in bondage," she said. "This crime undermines economies and the rule of law. It shatters families and communities. It is an affront to our most fundamental values."

A NURSE who made a series of medication blunders at two nursing homes in Burnley and Pendle has been struck off by a watchdog.
Elizabeth Gallagher's actions put a number of patients at risk of 'unw-arranted harm', a Nursing and Midwifery Council fitness to practice panel has ruled.
Gallagher was also found to be dishonest when she was dismissed from one home and secured employment at a second, without disclosing the earlier sacking.
Her first set of offences related to her employment at Andrew Smith House, in Nelson, during June 2011, where she confessed to not administering medication to two patients.
One further allegation, found proved, was that she failed to ensure a patient's notes were sent with her during a hospital admission - and failed to inform her family she had been hospitalised.
The omissions were discovered by bosses at the Nelson home, after a drugs audit and other checks, and Gallagher was dismissed, the NMC heard.
But she then applied to join Dove Court care home, in Burnley, run by BUPA, and did not reveal details of her employ-ment at Andrew Smith House.
Aja Hall, for the NMC, said Gallagher had failed to demonstrate any rem-orse, or insight into her failings, and had a tend-ency to blame colleagues for her actions.
Panel chairman Barbara Stuart said that the nurse's actions were liab- le to bring the profession into disrepute.
Striking her name off the nursing register, she said: "This was not a single incident, rather the panel determined that Ms Gallagher's conduct demonstrates a pattern of behaviour, which occurred in two separate nursing homes, and involved a number of residents under her care.
"In the light of Ms Gall-agher's lack of insight, and in the absence of any evidence of suffic-ient, or relevant remed-iation on her part, the panel determined that there is a real risk of repetition of her misconduct."
Gallagher was cleared of two medication off-ences as a result of the hearing.

A doting husband visits his wife in a care home everyday knowing she may not remember him.
Michael Perrett visits wife Sheila, 80, who has Alzheimer's disease, daily at Abbeyfield House in New Malden.
The pair celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on February 20 with a party at the California Road care home. Mr Perrett said: "Sheila does not remember very much but we have lots of photos – there must have been 100 plus.
"She is full of smiles when I come. She does not talk very much but she is a delight."
Sheila moved into the care home in September last year. The pair met as children.
Mr Perrett, a retired manager of a wallpaper company, said: "We met when we were seven or eight at the Saturday morning pictures in Kingston.
"Then I did not meet her until I was doing my national service in the RAF and I saw her at a drinks thing at the Grove Tavern in Kingston."
Mr Perrett proposed to Sheila, a clerk at the Kingston gas works, that night. Recalling the proposal he said: "It was more than love at first sight.
"We were sitting by Canbury Gardens on the bench – I don't think I was that romantic.
"I think I said 'I have got something to ask you, I don't know whether you will like it or not.'"
The couple tied the knot at All Saints Church two years later in 1954 when they were both 20.
Mr Perrett said: "The family cobbled together as much as we could. We had the wedding cake made by Sheila's mum and in those days you just ate sandwiches.
"I remember after I only had 11p until the following Thursday. But she looked beautiful."
He said the highlight of their marriage had been the many walking holidays they had gone on in Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.
But when asked about the secret to a long and happy marriage, Mr Perrett said: "We are just great friends. Her face brightens up when I visit and she says 'that's my man'. I love her with all my heart."
Emmanuel Torsoo, manager at the care home, said: "Michael and Sheila's commitment is a beacon to us all.
"Michael has visited his wife every day without fail, except for one instance of him being poorly – when we made it possible for Sheila to visit him at home.
"We have to banish the myth that a dementia diagnosis spells a totally bleak future."

Fox Hosts Finally Find A Health Care Ruling To Report On
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER & ERIC SCHROECK
On December 13, Fox News' evening shows devoted significant time to discussing and at times cheerleading a federal judge's ruling that a portion of the health care reform law is unconstitutional. By contrast, these hosts almost completely ignored two previous rulings upholding the law.
Fox Evening Hosts Devote Significant Time To Discussing Latest Health Care Ruling
Special Report Features Report, Panel Discussion On Ruling. On the December 13 edition of Special Report, host Bret Baier introduced a report on the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson by saying: "The first legal crack has appeared in the president's health care reform effort. A federal judge in Virginia today declared a major component of the law unconstitutional." Later, Baier hosted a panel discussion about the ruling, during which Fox News contributor Juan Williams noted that two previous decisions upheld the health care law. [Special Report, 12/13/10, accessed via Nexis]
O'Reilly: "Judge Hudson Agrees With Me" That The Individual Mandate "Is Unconstitutional." On the December 13 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly played a clip of himself from August 2009, saying: "I say [the individual mandate] is unconstitutional. The federal government doesn't have the power to force an American to buy anything." After playing the clip, O'Reilly said: "Now Judge Hudson agrees with me. Thank you, Judge." O'Reilly hosted Fox judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, who claimed: "Here's the issue: Where in the Constitution is the federal government authorized to compel you to buy health care? No matter how noble the goal is that everyone have health care, where is it? It's not there." O'Reilly and Napolitano also briefly mentioned the two previous rulings which supported the bill. [The O'Reilly Factor, 12/13/10, accessed via Nexis]
Hannity Devotes Segment To Discussing Ruling, Calls Judge's Findings "Phenomenal." On the December 13 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity devoted a segment to discussing the ruling, hosting Fox News contributor Doug Schoen and former GOP congressional candidate Star Parker. During the discussion, Hannity called the judge's writings in the ruling "phenomenal" and stated that the decision was a "big blow to the president and his fellow Democrats. And an exciting victory for all opponents of health care with potential far-reaching impact on its future implementation." [Fox News' Hannity, 12/13/10, accessed via Nexis]
Van Susteren: Ruling Is A "Smackdown" For Obama, Reid, And Pelosi. On the December 13 edition of On the Record, host Greta Van Susteren devoted three segments to the ruling, hosting Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli - whom Van Susteren called the "winner" in the decision -Florida attorney general Bill McCollum, and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. Van Susteren began the segment with Cuccinelli by stating: "President Obama's, Speaker Pelosi's and Majority Leader Reid's smackdown! A judge in Virginia ruling that the individual mandate in the national health care law is unconstitutional." During the discussion with Cuccinelli, Van Susteren noted that "two other federal judges so far have had a different view in terms of whether or not the federal government has the authority. So there's a conflict. Two other judges have disagreement with Judge Hudson." [Fox News' On the Record, 12/13/10, accessed via Nexis]
By Contrast, Fox's Primetime Shows Only Covered Decisions Supporting The Bill Once
Two Previous Federal Court Rulings Have Upheld Health Care Law. As Politico reported, in October, U.S. District Court Judge George Steeh ruled that the health care law's individual mandate "falls squarely within Congress's ability under the Constitution to regulate interstate commerce." In November, a federal judge in Virginia similarly upheld the law. [Politico, 10/7/10; CNN.com, 12/1/10]
Van Susteren Sole Primetime Host To Cover Either Of The Other Health Care Rulings. On the October 8 edition of On the Record, Van Susteren mentioned that in "Michigan, the judge said the national health care law is constitutional, that under the commerce clause is that the federal government has the authority to demand that people buy these insurance policies." Van Susteren said to her guest, Ken Cuccinelli, "So that's not particularly helpful to you." [On the Record, 10/8/10, accessed via Nexis]

Recently, I attended a roundtable discussion hosted by the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. on the topic of innovation – how it comes about, what factors can impede it, where the U.S. might be headed as a lead innovator in the 21st Century, and what cultural and ethical issues need to be considered in a complete understanding of innovation.
As a science and technology agency, the Department of Energy (DOE) cares a great deal about questions surrounding innovation. As an information management agency within DOE, the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) works to accelerate innovation through the sharing of knowledge. We also love to point out where DOE has done just that.
It is rare when someone comes along whose ideas change science. Nobel Laureate Kenneth Geddes Wilson (1936 –2013) forever changed how we think about physics. Wilson left a legacy of his prize-winning problem solving in theoretical physics, the use of computer simulations and the modeling of physical phenomena, the establishment of supercomputer centers for scientific research, and physics education and science education reform.
Wilson was gifted mathematically at an early age. His grandfather taught him how to do mathematical computations in his mind. When he was 8 years old, he would calculate cube roots in his head while waiting for the school bus. This brilliant and shy young boy went through grade school and high school at an accelerated pace to enroll in Harvard when he was only 16 years old. He obtained his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology, did postdoc studies at Harvard as a junior fellow that included a year at CERN, joined the faculty of Cornell University and later Ohio State University's Departments of Physics. At the age of 46, he became one of the youngest winners of a Noble Prize when he received the 1982 Noble Prize in Physics based on his pioneering work developing a theoretical framework on the nature of phase transitions, such as the moment when metal melts at a certain temperature or when liquid transforms to a gaseous state.
OSTI Is Re-Focusing and Re-Balancing Its Operations – And Refreshing Its Home Page – to Advance Public Access
Let's call it creative destruction, borrowing from a popular term in economics. The idea is that the very essence of capitalism is the destruction of old structures and the building of new ones that inevitably face the same pressures as the structures they replaced. It's the reason the buggy whip industry fell on hard times. The information management business of the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) is in constant flux too, where the next big thing can soon become the next big flop.
Aerogels are some of the most fascinating materials on the planet. They were discovered in the 1930s by Stanford University's Samuel Kistler who proved that he could successfully replace a gel's liquid with a gas by drying it, thereby creating a substance that was structurally a gel, but without liquid. Since their invention aerogels have primarily been made of silica but can be made of a growing variety of substances including transition metal oxides, organic polymers, biological polymers, semiconductor nanostructures, graphene, carbon, carbon nanotubes and metals as well as aerogel composite materials and the list is growing.

The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS) promotes the vitality of the U.S. Constitution and the fundamental values it expresses: individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, access to justice, democracy and the rule of law. These abiding principles are reflected in the vision of the Constitution's framers and the wisdom of forward-looking leaders who have shaped our law throughout American history. As a result of their efforts, the Constitution has retained its authority and relevance for each new generation.
In recent years, an activist conservative legal movement has gained influence - eroding these enduring values and presenting the law as a series of sterile abstractions. This new orthodoxy, which threatens to dominate our courts and our laws, does a grave injustice to the American vision.
The American Constitution Society embraces the progress our nation has made toward full embodiment of the Constitution's core values. ACS believes that law can and should be a force for improving the lives of all people. We are revitalizing and transforming legal and policy debates in classrooms, courtrooms, legislatures and the media, and we are building a diverse and dynamic network of progressives committed to justice. Through these efforts, ACS will ensure that the institutions of American law reflect the highest values of our nation and serve the needs of its people.
Founded in conjunction with the Program on Law & Government, the American Constitutional Society ("the Society") is a student organization at the Washington College of Law ("WCL"). The Society seeks to promote the values of equity and respect for the rule of law embodied in the living document that is the Constitution. The Society will promote civic and intellectual growth through a better understanding of various textual interpretations as well as constitutional arguments, both past and present, and by discussion of the document's current daily life applications and implications. All of these goals together will foster a strong dedication to the idea of America as a diverse nation unified by our common bond. A bond found and embodied in the Constitution; that guiding set of principles and rights that no individual and no law is above but that each is free to call upon as their own.

Lightmare Watch
If you're bored of telling time in the usual ways, you might like this Nightmare Watch from Fractalspin. Not only are there no numbers on this watch, there are no hands either. The hour hand is represented by a large inner, red LED dot, and the minute hand by a smaller outer dot. Made of stainless steel, with a rubber wrist band, the Lightmare Watch sells for $165.
Love this watch. They used to have it in all blue LEDs which i like much more. In a perfect world, i would take this watch face (with the blue LEDs, of course) with the body of that Nooka Zub Zot (in white or gray) i posted. haha,... Love this watch. They used to have it in all blue LEDs which i like much more. In a perfect world, i would take this watch face (with the blue LEDs, of course) with the body of that Nooka Zub Zot (in white or gray) i posted. haha, I'm sure that was helpful to any of you interested in this particular watch though. Back to the subject at hand, it's available in two eye-catching color combinations; IP black case with black leather strap and multi colored lights or IP silver case with mottled leather strap and multi colored lights, Kyokusen is one of the most impressive and popular designs from the Tokyoflash design studio. Using cutting edge digital tube technology the display is noticeably brighter than typical LED watches and is viewable from a much wider angle. The name Kyokusen which means curved line in Japanese was inspired from the shape of the main display. Each lit segment of the curve indicates one hour and the circular array of lights represent the minutes, the outer circle showing time progression in groups of five minutes, the inner circle showing single minutes one to four. A single push of the upper button initiates a brief animation of lights before the time is displayed, pushing the lower button displays the time immediately. Very cool but i reeeeeally wish they would bring the blue LEDs back and do a more up-to-date design for the body. A boy can only hope. :-/ p&LAdded 9 Years Ago from Tokyoflash
This watch is definitely for style and show. I have this one, and I did not use this to tell time one bit (I used my phone instead). It's a looker for sure, and serves as a good light show!Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com
So clean. I cannot imagine a more perfect specimen in the world of zen alarm clocks. Beech wood instead of plastic, so it fits in with decor while performing it's daily task of reminding me I have a job to get to.Added 10 Years Ago from Thegreenhead

Our experience with RentVillas was perfect from start to finish.
This was the first time we have rented overseas and done the searching online.
When you personally contacted me after an inquiry, I decided to work with your
company because there was a real person involved. There was accountability,
not just a website. This made all the difference. I could ask questions, share
concerns, and know that we were not in the land of the unknown. Thank you so much.
We had so much fun and loved every minute of our two weeks in Italy.

How can I check if a html tag has an "id" attribute or not, using Javascript and also using jQuery? (I want both solutions, please).
Many thanks
jquery - $('#idname').val()js -document.getElementById('idname')
Both will return undefined if idname not found. Kindly check for "js" part. I am sure for jquery.
This can also be used to identify whether you have defined id for element or not.
In addition to priti's solution, if you are looping through html elements you may use:
element.attr('id') //jQuery
element.id //JavaScript
where 'element' is an HTML element.
Note that the question is:
and that the question is not how do I check if an element with a certain id exists in the DOM?
Do you have specific tags in question? (e.g. ,
,
)
document.getElementsByTagName('a') should get you an "array" of the  tags. Then you could check for the .id attribute.
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
var len = links.length;
var str = "";
for (var i=0; i<len; i++) {
if (links[i].id != 'undefined') str += links[i].id + "\
alert ("These links have IDs:\
" + str);
My question is exactly as how ScallioXTX has mentioned and Siteguru also got it.
I have tried Siteguru's solution but it's not working properly. (thanks, btw.)
I have modified it to this:
var cells = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
var len = cells.length;
var str = "";
for (var i=0; i<len; i++) {
if (cells[i].id != "undefined"){
alert("Id in here");
alert ("No id here!");
And this is the HTML:

a
b
c
d
Clearly there are no 'id' attributes in those 'td' cells, as you can see. But the javascript still hold the condition as 'true' even though there are no 'id' at all.
I don't understand, can you help, please?
Try != null instead of != "undefined"
I've just tried 'null' and it's still doesn't work.
I think something in the code is not right but I don't see any problem with it though.
Try using an empty string ("").
if(x==undefined) and if(x==null) are only true if x is undefined or null, not if it is false, 0,NaN or the empty string.
if(x!='undefined') is true if the value is not the string 'undefined'
an element id is never undefined or null- most html elements have an id property,though until it has been assigned, in the html or a script, its value is '', the empty string.
if(element.getAttribute(id)) or if(element.id) or if(element.id !=='')all return false if the id has not been set.
The first 2 return the id, the third returns true, if there is an id.
I did say untested.
if(''!==element.id) is the safest way to test it (any typo should result in a syntax error).
Hi guys
@Mrhoo, I used your advice and I managed to get it work in the end. It was as easy as "if(element.id)", so thank you.
And also many thanks to all the guys in here, for your help.

|FYI — June 2003
|By Brad Dunn
In March unidentified vandals took a chainsaw to seven manatee-zone signs in the Indian River Lagoon near Melbourne. All that remained of the large, wood postings, which had just been constructed, were pairs of pilings that dangerously poked out into the waterway. The vandals let the decapitated signs float away, posing yet another nautical danger; at presstime only one had been found. U.S. Coast Guard patrols placed buoys around the amputated pilings that they had discovered and combed the area for others.
Dave Roach, executive director of the Florida Inland Navigation District in Jupiter, says the billboards will costs about $2,500 to replace. "Typically, vandalism on our signs takes the shape of some spray paint," he explains, according to Florida Today. "This individual is creating a public safety hazard to his fellow boaters."
Apparently the vandals took issue with a recent court ruling that upheld the state's policy of manatee slow-zones, after a group of boaters challenged it last year. The zones were established by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission in May 2001. About 500 were installed at the beginning of the year in the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River to indicate the swaths of protected water, each of which ranges from about 500 to 1,000 feet wide.
Even the state boaters' rights group Standing Watch decried the act, issuing a statement that read, "We will not condone vigilante or commando tactics that endanger the lives of innocent members of our boating community."
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office viewed the incident as neither a prank nor a political statement, but as a possibly fatal crime. Police are offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest and threaten to impose felony charges on the culprits.
"If it kills somebody," says Deputy Jim Troup, "then we're looking at manslaughter."
Aquamajestic has merged the best design elements from road and water and created a truly different boat. It has a convertible top you can lower with a handheld remote, as Pike is doing here. So roll down the top and windows, crank up the stereo, and cruise the Intracoastal like it was Route 66.
Look for Pike's test of the Aquamajestic 27 in an upcoming issue of PMY.

News Release
Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030
Oct. 1, 2008
Science/Ecosystem Focus Is Aim of New TPWD Deputy Director Position
AUSTIN, Texas — A new position called deputy executive director for natural resources at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will bring more scientific and policy expertise to help lead several agency divisions facing large-scale conservation challenges, such as water resources for people and wildlife, changing demographics of private landownership, invasive species, climate change, declining and fragmented fish and wildlife habitats, and evolving outdoor recreation trends.
Executive Director Carter Smith announced the decision to create the new leadership position, which will oversee the department's Wildlife, Coastal and Inland Fisheries Divisions. Smith said a national executive search will begin to fill the new post as soon as possible, but which he said realistically could take months.
"At no time in our agency's history have we faced challenges as momentous as those we're now encountering on the natural resources and conservation funding fronts," Smith said. "Our leadership team collectively realized we need a new role to bring scientific, natural resource management and policy experiences that will help us address the future needs of fish and wildlife, as well as those of our stakeholders who use and value those resources. Those needs increasingly require operating on a landscape scale involving entire watersheds or ecological regions."
Deputy Executive Director for Operations Scott Boruff's duties will change to oversee the Law Enforcement, State Parks, and Infrastructure Divisions, as well as the agency's land conservation branch and international liaison affairs with Mexico. Boruff will maintain a major leadership role in department conservation endeavors and will continue to lead updates of TPWD's strategic Land and Water Conservation and Recreation Plan, Smith said.
Deputy Executive Director for Administration Gene McCarty will continue to oversee the Communications, Administrative Resources, Human Resources and Information Technology Divisions.
A search to fill the currently vacant coastal fisheries division director position will be temporarily suspended. An executive search for that job and the also soon-to-be-vacant wildlife division director position will both begin once the new deputy executive director is hired. Clay Brewer was recently named acting wildlife division director, since outgoing Director Mike Berger is preparing to retire Oct. 31 and is overseeing the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies conference Oct. 11-15 in Corpus Christi.
"With two division director positions vacant on the natural resource side of our agency, we have an opportunity to augment our team to help meet the ambitious goals laid out in our Land and Water strategic plan," Smith said. "For this new role, we intend to make sure we find someone who also understands our state's strong private lands traditions and major recreational issues involving fishing, hunting and other outdoor pursuits."

Young and OldRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
The young are they that have this but some would sell it to the old.
The old would gladly buy it if indeed it could be sold.
Many old they want and chase it; chase it with a passion.
Some claim they can sell it in pill, potion or fashion.
Some claim it's just a state of mind so just believe you see.
Others try to hold on to it for young they want to be.
So what am I referring to, tell me if you know?
What the young have and old do not though some put on a show.
AnswerIt's YOUTH my friend; it's youth they have. It is quite plain to see.
It can't be bought or sold its given to the young just for free.
Some kids would gladly trade it to be older in a day.
Some elderly would gladly buy it to get rid of the old and gray.
Some hang on and live life like it will never go away.
But sure as I'm writing this we get older every day.
You're as young as you feel I have heard it said.
But is that still the case when youth is gone and a long time you've been dead?
What Next?
See another brain teaser just like this one...
Or, just get a random brain teaser
If you become a registered user you can vote on this riddle, keep track of

HOUSTON - A troubled northeast Houston school district has been ordered to shut down.
The Texas Education Agency notified the North Forest Independent School District Thursday that it will close and be annexed into the Houston Independent School district effective July 1.
"The decision to close a school district is a tough decision for all involved, but we can no longer be tolerant of chronic underperformance," Commissioner of Education Michael L. Williams said. "My recommendation is based on the district's poor performance over the past year, which is reflective of a familiar pattern of failing to meet student needs over decades."
NFISD attorney Chris Tritrico Thursday night said the district would challenge the decision.
"It's a shame that the commissioner chose to share his decision with HISD and the media before sending it to North Forest ISD. North Forest has tried for two months to get a meeting with the commissioner to resolve the issues," said Tritrico. "The Texas A&M partnership was first proposed by the commissioner and torpedoed by individuals outside of North Forest control. North Forest will fight this wrongful closure in both state and federal courts."
In May 2012, North Forest ISD appealed a decision to revoke its accreditation. That was denied, but the school district's closure was abated a year to allow it to improve, but the conditions set were not met, state officials said.
"I fully recognize that there have been people in North Forest ISD working hard to turn things around for a very long time, but we can no longer afford to wait," Williams said.
North Forest ISD has about 6,000 students. All of the students come from low-income families.
"While we did not seek this action, HISD stands ready to welcome North Forest into our family," Superintendent Terry Grier said. "We will immediately begin making plans to make this a smooth transition for North Forest students and their parents."
U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said the community should fight to keep North Forest ISD open.
"The State of Texas should focus more on enhancing its state funding for education in order to improve the resources for state school districts and match with our federal funding in order to better prepare our children and our teachers - rather than being in the business of shutting down school districts," Jackson-Lee said. "Funding for education comes from state and local property tax revenue, and NFISD is considered a property-poor district. As a result, it receives far less than some of its surrounding districts which consist of neighborhoods with higher property values."
Jackson-Lee said she will host a town hall meeting on Saturday to discuss the issue.
North Forest ISD has 10 days to request the state to re-review its compliance with the conditions that were set.

"We don't serve barbecue," says Keenan Bosworth. But the co-chef, co-owner (he of the awesome dreadlocks) of the new Pig & Pickle in Scottsdale, Arizona, sure does some amazing work with his smoker. Smoked salmon (cured with an aromatic paste of fennel and citrus fruits). Home cured and smoked tasso ham. Smoked pot roast (served sandwich style with creamed horseradish). Even smoked butter (they cold smoke the cream over applewood in a Southern Pride). Wash them down with a craft cocktail (or one of the micro brews from the carefully curated beer list) and be sure to sample the home-pickled beets.
Where do YOU go for 'que in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area? What are some of your recent amazing smoke discoveries elsewhere? Keep the suggestions coming!

What is the Daily Buzzword for September 10?
libel \LYE-bul\ noun
What does it mean?
1 : something spoken, written, or drawn that injures a
person's good name
2 : the act or crime of publishing a libel
How do you use it?
The actress alleged that the scandalous libel published in the
tabloid ruined her career.
Are you a word wiz?
At the root of "libel" is the Latin word "liber." What do you
think "liber" means?
A. lamp
B. chair
C. book
D. fork
No harm done if you picked C. The ancient Romans originally
used "liber" for the inner bark of a tree. Because they used
the bark to write on, "liber" came to mean a written
document. After papyrus replaced bark, "liber" was used to
refer to papyrus scrolls, or "books." The French adopted a
form of "liber" to mean "little book," and English speakers
borrowed the French word as "libel." Later, "libel" was used
for handbills and leaflets. Because such leaflets were a
popular means of spreading unflattering statements about
famous people, the meaning of "libel" extended to such
stories and to the act of writing them.
And I who had learned that libel is written and slander is spoken. What's going on?

I've just received a bulletin from DeceasedOnline, it contains the news that five cemeteries in the royal Borough of Greenwich are being added over the next few weeks. Eltham Cemetery and Crematorium is now completely uploaded and available for searching. Greenwich Cemetery coverage is now 50%+ complete. The rest of Greenwich cemetery will follow shortly.
The other three cemeteries within the borough; Woolwich, Charlton and Plumstead are due to come online over the next few weeks.
PS The photo illustrating this post is from Kensal Green not one of the Greenwich cemeteries, but it amuses me as it was positioned as if it was there for the inhabitants not visitors to the cemetery!!

We'll start with the coach, because as you all know by now, his presser was the shortest. Though it did appear he was angry at the Islanders coaches, probably for the way they deployed their muscle late in the game. You know what? Too bad.
John Tortorella:
One of those games you want to burn the tape?
Can you explain what happened?
"No. No. Listen guys, you're not getting much out of me tonight. That's between me and the team. I know you have to do your work, but I have to do my work. That's staying in-house."
Could you address the power play?
"Nope. I'm not addressing anything."
Was there a carryover from Buffalo?
"I'm not going to address anything. … It's one of those, eh, Brooksie (to Larry Brooks). Remember that one (infamous on YouTube). Let's break it up. End it here. Sorry guys. OK."

Metal worker forges his own path
St. Albert's Kyle Walton the designer of this year's Mayor's Art Awards
Wednesday, Mar 12, 2014 06:00 am
At first it might seem weird that a forger is designing the trophies for this year�s Mayor�s Celebration of the Arts Awards. Don�t forgers make fake money?
Kyle Walton is not that kind of forger. The St. Albert blacksmith works in steel to create some of the most beautiful pieces of decorative and functional art that you can make with a hammer and anvil, a furnace and brute � but delicate � force.
You could call him a forger but he prefers a less formal term.
�I�ve always been an iron monger, if you will. I�ve always liked it.�
The 35-year-old artist and owner of Hammer and Forge (his west Edmonton-based ironworks) has no formal artistic training but rather graduated from NAIT�s architectural program before building up his design credentials with an architectural firm. Forging always had a place in the background.
He first started �dabbling� in this rather unique metal work in his high school shop class. �It�s been a love affair ever since,� he said.
Hammering steel sounds like hard work � and it is. There are other arduous aspects to his profession that might not be so obvious, however. There�s no blacksmith school anywhere, for one thing.
�It�s been tough. There�s no governing certified body in Canada that regulates this. You�re left digging and researching on your own, and try to piece it together.�
Luckily, there�s a master blacksmith in Cochrane who has been instrumental in mentoring him through the craft and other aspects of the work.
Business is good, he said, enough to keep him and his team busy and even be optimistic about the future. In between filling his job orders, he delves into some of his own artistic projects. There have been some privately commissioned artworks that have fuelled his creative engine but he hasn�t done anything like this before.
�Nothing in the public realm and nothing quite like the job that we�ve done with the City of St. Albert. From our standpoint, it�s a unique opportunity. We�re considering it a gateway job into the fine art world.�
The main award is a �two piece idea,� he explained.
�The base is a fabricated steel plate rock. It�s sort of angular but it�s sort of soft. It lends itself to stabilizing the main part of the piece � the personification of wheat, this wheat sheaf that looks like a person celebrating something.�
He estimated that the final award weighs 3.2 to 3.6 kilograms and is made of mild steel.
�They look heavier than they are. The rock is hollow. It�s the perfect height to thrust over your head!� he laughed.

"You can get more energy from the same feed, whether you're feeding it to a lactating cow or developing a replacement heifer," says Ron Randel, Faculty Fellow of Reproductive Physiology at Texas AgriLife. "The net result is better performance and better reproduction."
Randel is talking about the proven opportunity that comes with supplementing replacements and mature cows with an ionophore. He and fellow researchers at Texas A&M University were among the first in 1977 to document the potential of feeding the ionophore compound, monensin, to heifers and cows. For the record, Rumensin® (monensin) is the only ionophore labeled for use in both growing heifers and mature beef cows.
If you're unfamiliar with ionophores, they are antimicrobial compounds that inhibit the growth of rumen organisms that disrupt rumen fermentation and function; they help capture more feed energy and decrease protein erosion.
Depending on the research, ionophores in stocker diets increase average daily gain by 0.15 to 0.3 lbs./day and increase feed efficiency by 2-7%. That's feeding at a rate of approximately 125-200 mg/day at a cost of pennies per day. Besides the gain, ionophores also reduce the incidence of coccidiosis, acidosis and bloat.
Increased feed efficiency means cattle attain the same performance on less feed or more performance with the same level of feed consumption.
"In all of the research we conducted, we didn't find a single downside to the use of ionophores in either replacement heifers or lactating cows," Randel says.
Enhancing heifer lifetime productivity
"Feeding an ionophore makes animals more energetically efficient," says Dale Blasi, Kansas State University Extension beef cattle specialist. Thinking about what that can mean to developing replacement heifers, he explains, "It can reduce the age and weight at puberty. If you're getting another 0.1 to 0.2 lbs./day of gain across a 150-day development period, you're putting another 15-30 lbs. on heifers and that can be the difference in getting them bred."
It's more than energy efficiency and added weight at younger ages, though. Randel explains the ionophore positively affects ovary and pituitary function required for successful reproduction.
In that original study cited earlier, 92% of the heifers receiving monensin reached puberty during the trial vs. 58% of those not receiving it. In another study that included 590 heifers, heifers receiving 200 mg/day of monensin reached first estrus 13 days sooner than those not receiving the ionophore.
Though age of puberty revolves around multiple factors, including heifer age, breed and the plane of nutrition, Randel says the old rule of thumb still holds up: aim to get heifers weighing at least two-thirds of their mature body weight by the time they're 14 months of age.
"You want heifers to be sexually mature by the time they're 14 months old if they're going to breed and calve on schedule as a two-year-old," Randel says. "Use of an ionophore can decrease age of puberty in beef heifers by several weeks. Having an estrous cycle prior to breeding is important in getting them bred early in the season in order to calve early in the season. Heifers that breed and calve early tend to remain early breeders and calvers in subsequent breeding seasons and will produce more calves in their lifetime."
So, decreasing the age and weight at puberty increases the potential lifetime productivity of heifers. Randel favors pounds of calf weaned per breeding exposure as the way to measure lifetime productivity. It gets at the number of calves produced as well as the weaning performance of the calves.
Randel points out using bulls with larger age-adjusted scrotal circumference (measured by the time bulls are 14 months of age) also sire daughter more likely to reach puberty sooner.
Manage cow body condition more cheaply
Cows receiving an ionophore glean similar benefit. In previous research, Dave Lalman, Oklahoma State University (OSU) Extension beef specialist, says Rumensin in cow rations reduced feed intake by about 10% without affecting performance. Generally speaking, its use increases feed efficiency 5-10%. Consequently, an adequate body condition score (BCS) can be achieved and maintained with less feed.
BCS, of course, has proven to be an extraordinarily accurate gauge of nutritional reproductive fitness.
Randel explains lactating cows partition energy consumed to maintaining life first, lactation second, their own growth and body condition next, and finally to reproduction. That's why breeding back first-calf heifers can become such a reproductive bottleneck.
Cows in poorer than the optimum condition – BCS of 5-6 – experience longer postpartum intervals than their fleshier peers, meaning they conceive later, if at all, and calve later in the season.
In compiled research, cows receiving 200 mg/day of Rumensin conceived six days earlier, experienced a postpartum interval five days less, and posted an 11% higher calving percentage than cows not receiving the ionophore.
In a 2011 OSU study, cows receiving common prairie hay and 2.0 lbs./day of supplement (30% crude protein) with 200 mg/day of Rumensin gained 30 lbs., or about half of one BCS over 58 days. The cost of feeding the ionophore was 2¢/head/day.
Blasi likens feeding ionophores to beef cows and heifers with the suspension system on a pickup. "It gives you more cushion," Blasi says. "Every little bump might be a weather insult or shock in forage quality. With ionophores, you get more energy from the feed available. Even in times of plenty, feeding an ionophore gives you more insurance."
Rumensin in cow and heifer rations
For producers considering Rumensin in heifer and mature cow rations for the first time, there are some points worth keeping in mind.
First, Rumensin is toxic to horses. That means not only keeping them away from mineral or feed mixed with the ionophore, but making sure horses don't have a chance to come across residual amounts when swapping pens and pastures.
Secondly, Blasi explains folks trying to mix appropriate levels of the ionophore into feed on their own are kidding themselves. Rumensin is mixed at 80-90 grams/ton. You'd be hard-pressed to find a cow-calf producer with the necessarily sophisticated technology to mix it so precisely.
So, Blasi and Randel stress that the ionophore should be added to feeds and mineral by reputable commercial firms.
Next, if you haven't fed an ionophore previously, Blasi says you need to understand that it will reduce mineral, forage and feed consumption.
Reduced mineral intake saves money, of course, but Blasi says it bothers producers who mistakenly equate mineral quality with the level of mineral consumption. He believes an added benefit of Rumensin in mineral is that it prevents over-consumption of mineral mixes, which he believes is a common problem.
Finally, the quality of feed available needs to be considered.
"If forage quality is too poor, you will reduce forage intake to the point that the effect of using the ionophore can be negative," Randel says. "If forage quality is less than 6% crude protein and digestibility is around 45-50%, using an ionophore is probably counter-indicated."
At the very least, the amount of ionophore fed should be adjusted with ration quality, Blasi says. The higher the forage quality, for example, the more Rumensin that can be fed and benefits returned (Table 1).
"There's something to be said for keeping Rumensin in front of cows through the mineral year round," Blasi says. If that's done, he's comfortable with a rate of 100 mg/day. "At 2¢/head/day, you're talking $7/cow/year."
In round numbers, Randel says, "If you use ionophores within reason (according to recommended dosage), you should see a net decrease of about 10% in the cost of feed to develop heifers to puberty and pregnancy... Where there is the opportunity for daily supplementation, I advocate the use of ionophores. It should improve your bottom line unless companies are charging too much for the ionophore."
As for mature cows, in that 2011 OSU study, those receiving common prairie hay and 2.0 lbs./day of supplement (30% crude protein) with 200 mg/day of Rumensin gained 30 lbs., or about a half BCS over 58 days as mentioned previously.
"There are a lot of places where producers can spend their money," Blasi says. "I believe providing ionophores to growing cattle and mature breeding cows is one of those things that offers producers a definite return."

Hello I am developing a full scree website. I have got my basic designs on the paper however I am having trouble with coding it.
Here is a simple example of my site:Google Glass Start
Since it will be simple like this I think designing it responsive will not be difficult.Please put me on to a right track.
Where are you getting stuck? As you say, the site you liked to is pretty simple. Have you studied its code?
Yes I am having trouble understanding the CSS code:http://www.google.com/glass/start/assets/css/google-glass.css
Lol. I would to. In fact I'd take one look at that and throw it all way. Never to return
That's the wrong way to study it, obviously. Instead, use the dev tools in your browser. For example, in Chrome, right click > Inspect Element to view the HTML and CSS of the page.
All the same, this sort of layout is not hard, so I would suggest you just start from basics and build your page up. Firstly, establish the layout that you need to create.
When you say "a full screen website", it's not clear what you are really picturing. All websites are full screen, so to speak. Perhaps you mean something like this?
The site has a fullscreen effect, actually a full window with a youtube movie, when you press the "How it feels" button, a javascript effect. That CSS is hard to understand because its compacted, thats all. So if browse the whole document pressing enter after each element, youll get a nice code so everyone understands. Im not sure if Dreamweaver does that automatically ?
s compacted, that
ll get a nice code so everyone understands. I
Yes that is what exactly what I meant!
I have studied the code and looks like its using percentages instead of pixels.
That's fine, though: just switch from % to px on the inner divs if that suits better. Keep width: 100% on the outer divs, though, or it won't work.
I can't figure out how the color of header-outer and footer-outer is it is.I can't find any hex color values for the both of them.
Here is the full code:

<meta charset="utf-8">

A WIRRAL athlete will represent her native Wales in the Commonwealth Games later this month.
Lucy Evans is taking time off from her day job as an events and marketing manager to run the 4 x 100m relay at the games in Glasgow, which start on July 23.
Involved in athletics from a very young age, Lucy started competing as a junior athlete at her local club in Ellesmere Port before moving on to renowned athletics club, Sale Harriers in Manchester.
Originally from North Wales, she won her first Welsh Vest at the age of 16 and has now represented Wales in events in countries such as Switzerland, Hungary, Belgium and Sweden in competitions including the European Grand Prix meetings and Commonwealth Youth Games.
Thrilled to be running in such a prestigious event, Lucy said: "The Commonwealth Games has been my target, it is the highest level at which I can represent Wales in sport.
"In April I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to compete in some track and field competitions in the USA, where I got my season off to a fantastic start.
"When I returned home I continued to compete - winning the 200m at both the recent Loughborough International and the Flanders Cup Lokeren Grand Prix meeting in Belgium.
"The most important competition, however, was the Welsh Athletics Championships & Commonwealth Games Trials, where I set a new personal best of 23.94 seconds over 200m, which resulted in my selection as a squad member for the Welsh 4 x 100m relay.
"I was initially shocked to get confirmation about this, but also very excited.
"I am now looking forward to training with the rest of the Welsh team in Portugal before travelling to the Games themselves."
Lucy works for SquareOne Training in Birkenhead. Managing director Lisa Johnson, is fully supportive of her employee's efforts.
She said: "Lucy is a much valued member of our team but we are delighted that she will be carrying on her 'athletics' work in another team, and leaving us even if only for a short while.
"This is a once in lifetime opportunity and we are very proud of her achievements – not only will she be representing Wales but we think she will also be carrying the flag for Wirral."

TWO senior officials from trade union Prospect were giving out cream eggs to staff arriving for work at QinetiQ, Malvern's largest employer.
President Alan Grey and deputy general secretary Garry Graham were at the company's St Andrew's Road gate on Tuesday morning as part of the union's campaign for renewed recognition.
Unions have not been recognised at the technology form since February 2012.
Mr Graham said: "We were giving out the cream eggs because we're close to Easter, and because the theme of our protest is a chicken-and-egg situation.
"We know there are staff members who would join there was union recognition, but we need people to join to strengthen the case for union recognition.
"This is not a radical workforce here in Malvern, but there is a dignified demand for an independent voice for the staff."
A QinetiQ spokesman said: "We are continuing to have discussions with Prospect about how we can work together moving forward. Employees are free to join a trade union or not and we would not stand in anyone's way if they wanted to join a trade union.
"For the last 24 months the Employee Engagement Group, our elected staff consultative body, has proven to be a success, representing all of our employees on key issues affecting QinetiQ's present and future."
