2014 NHRA: No. 4 Qualifier Coughlin Leads Three Mopar Dodge Darts into Topeka Elimination Rounds
Posted by: newsla on May 25, 2014 - 07:25 AM
2014 NHRA: No. 4 Qualifier Coughlin Leads Three Mopar Dodge Darts into Topeka Elimination Rounds
Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart driver Jeg Coughlin Jr. will look to keep a pair of streaks alive when he starts from the No. 4 spot in eliminations tomorrow at the NHRA Kansas Nationals at Heartland Park Topeka. Coughlin will seek to defend his 2013 event win at Topeka, and will also attempt to double up following his victory earlier this week in the rain-delayed NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing event in Atlanta.
Inclement weather also played a role in Friday qualifying at Topeka, with the Pro categories limited to just one qualifying attempt. Coughlin made the most of that single session, recording his quickest qualifying effort with a 6.618-second elapsed time, at 208.65 mph. After more wet weather, the defending Pro Stock series champ added runs of 6.627/207.53 and 6.624/207.53 in his final two qualifying attempts on Saturday. Coughlin draws Rodger Brogdon to begin eliminations tomorrow.
"Coming off a hot win in Atlanta was amazing," Coughlin said. "The timing of that win was great. We struggled a little bit through qualifying there, and this week has been a bit of a flip from that. We've been real consistent through qualifying."
Allen Johnson, Coughlinâs Johnson & Johnson Racing stable mate, saved the best for last, driving his âMagneti Marelli Offered by Moparâ to its quickest qualifying run of the weekend on his final attempt with a 6.620 ET to move up to the sixth position. Johnson will face Larry Morgan in round one tomorrow. Fellow Dodge Dart pilot V. Gaines earned the seventh slot on the starting grid thanks to a 6.621 run and meets Greg Anderson in the opening round.
âWe got our best run of the weekend on the last pass today, so thatâs encouraging,â said Johnson, the 2012 Topeka event champ. âWith Jeg in the top half at No. 4, and V. as well, weâve got a great chance to keep the Topeka trophy in the Mopar camp.â
Mopar Express Lane Dodge Charger R/T racer Matt Hagan led the four-driver Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) NHRA Funny Car squad, taking the fourth spot in qualifying with a best ET of 4.064, setting up a first-round battle with Chad Head. Haganâs Mopar-fueled DSR teammates clocked in a bit further back in the pack, with Jack Beckman closest in the No. 9 spot thanks to a 4.081 pass. Beckman will square off with another Dodge Charger, steered by No. 8 starter Jeff Arend. Ron Capps, No. 10 with a 4.095, will line up against Del Worsham, and No. 12 starter Tommy Johnson Jr. (4.116) faces Alexis DeJoria.
âThis is only our eighth race of the year and there are still 10 more before the Countdown to the Championship, but we don't like being ninth and plan to start moving up,â Hagan said. âMost important to us right now is to win rounds on Sunday and leave here with that Wally (trophy).â
ESPN2 and ESPN2HD will provide television coverage of elimination rounds at the NHRA Kansas Nationals, with three hours of coverage set for Sunday, May 25, beginning at 10 p.m. (ET).
Mopar Brand
Mopar (a simple contraction of the words Motor and PARts) was trademarked in 1937 with the launch of an antifreeze product but truly made its mark in the 1960s during the muscle-car era.

Today, Mopar is Chrysler Group LLCâs service, parts and customer-care brand and distributes more than 500,000 parts and accessories in more than 130 markets, integrating service, parts and customer-care operations in order to enhance dealer and customer support worldwide. Mopar is the source for genuine parts and accessories for Chrysler Group brands as well as FIAT brands.
Mopar parts are unique in that they are engineered with the same teams that create factory-authorized vehicle specifications for Chrysler Group and FIAT vehicles â a direct connection that no other aftermarket parts company can provide. A complete list of Mopar accessories and performance parts is available at www.mopar.com.
Mopar-first Features

EVE Online Alliance Tournament is one of the year's biggest highlights. Teams from dozens of player-run alliances fight it out in qualifying rounds for a chance to compete in the finals and win massive prizes. A points-based system limits the number and type of ships a team can field, putting every team on equal footing. Restrictions on the types of modules a ship can use ensure no team can buy themselves an advantage over a poorer rival. This makes the tournament a game of strategy, planning and execution. It's a refreshing change from the fleet and gang warfare that's typically found in New Eden. Massively covered Alliance Tournament 7 back in September 2009 and in their latest devblog, CCP have released a few details on the upcoming 8th tournament.
This year the tournament is taking place in June and CCP is once again planning on "spicing up" the rule-set to keep things interesting. As with last year, videos of the qualifying rounds will likely be released on YouTube and the final match will be available for viewing on a live feed with expert commentary. For those interested in helping with the tournament, CCP is looking for EVE PvP experts to do commentary on the fights and chat about them afterward. Several experts will even be flown out to CCP HQ in Reykjavik, Iceland to help with the production of the live final match. Applications must be in by the 28th, giving just over two weeks for potential experts to sign up. For details on what's required and how to apply, see CCP's latest EVE devblog. More details on the tournament's new rules and sign-up procedures are forthcoming in the next few weeks. If the camera-work and visual quality are anything like last year, this will definitely be a great tournament to watch.

Practical example: jtopen and webservice
5 comments:
Hi Damien,ReplyDelete
This blog is awesome. I am new to groovy and grails. I was looking around for a way to connect to the AS400 until I found your plugin.
i am trying to follow your example above but got stuck from this point:
We then instruct xfire to expose the service:
static expose = ['xfire']
(can you tell me where do key this code in?)
We define an ibmI object that will be injected:
def ibmI
(can you tell me where do key this code in?)
We then define the service method:
boolean isSchedulerActive(){
def cr = ibmI.execute("ALCOBJ OBJ((DTAARA *DTAARA *SHRRD)) WAIT(0)")
ibmI.execute("DLCOBJ OBJ((DTAARA *DTAARA *SHRRD))")
} else {
if(cr.messageList[0].ID == "CPF1002"){
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("Unexpected message "+cr.messageList[0].toString())
(can you tell me where do key this code in?)
I'm glad that you find this blog useful.ReplyDelete
All the code you're asking for should go in the service class body you're creating.
hi damien,ReplyDelete
can you show me an example on how to create a grails web application that retrieves data from the as400?
thank you.
hi Damien,ReplyDelete
This looks interesting. Now I'm writing in Java and have certain hassle with dataareas. Our ERP app (written in RPG) uses dataareas to keep last recordnumbers (PKey) for certain tables we also use in Java apps. So we not only need to check the dataaraea to be locked or not, we have to implement a lock-read-increment-write-unlock cycle instead. Do you have any idea how this could work? We found and used the dataarea class in jt400.jar (IBM toolbox for java) for read and write but found no locking functionality..
Regards, Stephan
Hi Damien and Stephan,ReplyDelete
Did you find a solution to your problem Stephan? I have the same issue that you describe.
Thanks, Sam

Front Page: Attack in Iraq, Lethal Injection, Ricin Arrest
- Attack in Iraq: No fewer than 30 people have been killed and many more injured in a suicide attack on a crowd of mourners in Iraq. The attacker detonated his explosives at a funeral near the city of Baquba, north of the capital, Baghdad. Officials said the funeral was for two brothers said to be leading figures in the Sunni Awakening Council, who may have died fighting al-Qaeda in Iraq militants. The Sunni Awakening Council works alongside the Americans and Iraqi government to fight al-Qaeda-linked insurgents. More than 50 people were killed in another Baquba attack just two days ago.
- Lethal Injection: The US Supreme Court voted 7-2 yesterday to reject prisoners' challenges to the lethal injection procedure in Kentucky. The justices upheld the method saying the state's use of a three-drug combination does not violate the Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Many states put their slate of executions on hold waiting for the court's ruling and are now rushing to assign execution dates. The decision may particularly help Nebraska after the state's Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that its only method, electrocution, was unconstitutional.
- Ricin Arrest: The man who was sickened by the deadly toxin ricin in his Las Vegas motel room was arrested upon his release from a hospital yesterday and charged with possession of the substance. The federal indictment says the man enjoyed experimenting with production of the substance derived from castor beans, calling it "an exotic idea," but had no specific intention to use it against anyone. An FBI agent said, "based on the results of our investigation, we don't believe that the public was ever in danger nor do we believe that this was any terrorist plot." The man is expected to be arraigned this afternoon.

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/11/2012 (1722 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Re: Santa Claus without his pipe (Nov. 24).
Look, I'm not here to debate whether or not Santa Claus really exists, but I think any and all children reading this should stop, immediately.
Santa Claus is described as a large elderly man with a fondness for the colour red and for donating toys to children (though he seems to favour the rich ones) that were made by his slaves, these identifiers don't change; they're the bare bones of what can be considered "Santa" but cultural icons can change with society.
I think a bigger problem than whether or not Santa stays the same is that some people exploit the idea of Christmas to sell products. I think parents are encouraging this by telling children to write a list to this magic man who'll bring them anything they want for free.
Watching the videos of people trampling one another to get the last Furby makes me sick. When did this happen? When did getting your spoiled child $400 worth of material goods become more valuable than your own dignity?

Crocus Tip
Narcissus 'Jetfire'
cyclamineus daffodil bulbs
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: well-drained soil (for container-grown bulbs use two parts John Innes No2 compost to one part sharp grit)
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: March and April
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb Size: 10/12
The dramatically swept back golden yellow petals surround a bright orange trumpet, giving this sturdy daffodil a windswept look. They appear in early spring and are ideal for naturalising in bold drifts where they will carpet the ground with their golden flowers. Also suitable for pots if space is limited, so their bright and cheerful colour can be enjoyed close at hand.
- Garden care: Plant 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, dead-head and allow the leaves to die back naturally.
- Harmful if eaten/skin irritant
Bulb blindness
Bulbs produce lovely foliage but no flowers. Either no buds at all appear or those that do are dry and virtually empty of petals. Daffodils (Narcissi) are usually the worst affects, especially multi-headed or double forms.Read full article

Spring bulbs, such as daffodils and hyacinths, can be planted whenever the soil conditions allow. As a rough guide, cover them with about twice as much soil as the bulb is deep: so that a 5cm (2in) deep bulb would need a 15cm (6in) deep hole so that itRead full article

Freescale plans basestation-on-chip
2 comments
PORTLAND, Ore. Freescale Semiconductor plans to best its embedded communications competitors not just by depending on raw computing speed for its processors but by reaching the higher integration levels needed to put a "basestation on a chip," according to Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager for networking and multimedia.
Speaking at the recent Freescale Technology Forum (FTF), held June 21-24 in Orlando, Fla., Su claimed Freescale had already captured the market share lead in embedded communications processors, at 25.6 percent, putting it just ahead of Intel Corp., which recently pledged a renewed effort to increase its embedded market share.
"Today Freescale is certainly No. 1 in the wireless spacein communications processors and embedded MPUs," said Su. "We are also No. 1 in e-reader processors and No. 2 in programmable DSPs, but we are confident that our market share will grow in the future because we are especially strong in LTE [Long Term Evolution for 4G]."
Su credited Freescale's strength in LTE retrofits and embedded communications processors to its transition from 90-nanometer to 45-nanometer process technology, skipping the 65-nm node. The shift had been "painful" at times but was "definitely worth the effort" in retrospect, Su said. She also predicted Freescale would claim a leadership position in moving beyond 45 nm to the "next node" in process technology but declined to say whether that would be 32 nm or some intermediate level.
She was clear, however, on Freescale's intent to move to higher levels of integration, saying it would look to leapfrog competitors by putting all the elements needed for future basestastions onto a single chip. The move would pioneer the ultrasmall form factors needed for the expected explosion in femtocell basestations after LTE's debut in 2011, Su said.
Also at FTF, Freescale announced its move to a 64-bit architecture for the QorIQ family with its e5500 Power core, which analysts claimed is faster than competitive cores from Cavium and NetLogic but still slightly behind Intel's Xeon in raw performance.

"Enjoy" is a new direction for Mozart's Sister. Her "video single" is a single shot of Caila Thompson-Hannant swaying in front of some knick-knacks, and while there's something undeniably lyrical about the setting, it's the Montreal producer/singer's first track from her upcoming album Being that demands the most attention.
It reminds me of the "shaken-up versions" of the songs The Knife debuted at their live shows this year: grimy house music with an agenda. (The hook starts off with "1 2 3, don't fuck with me." That's what you hear right before you get the dressing down your drunken ass deserves. Everyone chooses to ignore your shitty opinions about Edward Snowden, but damn, you just had to bring them up on Friday at a disco.)

Amazon Could Sell Up to 5 Million Tablets in Q4 2011, Says Forrester Research

Amazon's new tablet is expected to be a worthy competitor of Apple's iPad
(Source: bindapple.com)
In order to achieve this, Amazon must sell its new tablet "significantly" below its competitors' prices and have enough supply to meet consumer demand
Google's Android operating system may be
beating Apple's iOS
in the smartphone area, but Apple clearly takes the cake when it comes to tablets. For now, at least.
Apple has sold nearly 30 million iPads since the gadget's original launch in April 2010. Since then, many other competitors such as the
BlackBerry PlayBook
and the
Motorola Xoom
have attempted to match the iPads popularity, but were unsuccessful in doing so. Hewlett-Packard even decided to
kill off its TouchPad tablet and webOS operating system
due to problems like slow hardware releases, mediocre execution, and overproduction which made the tablet unable to compete.
But there will soon be a new competitor that may give Apple a run for its money in the tablet arena:
According to Forrester Research, an independent technology and market research company, Amazon could sell as many as 5 million tablets in the fourth quarter. But in order to do this, it must sell its new tablet "significantly" below its competitors' prices and have enough supply to meet consumer demand. If it can pull this off, Forrester Research estimates that Amazon could sell between 3 million and 5 million tablets in the last three months of 2011.
In addition to lower prices and increased supply, apps are another important area to consider in regards to tablet sales. Apple has around 100,000 custom-built
iPad apps
where Google's Honeycomb platform has less than 300.
"If Amazon's Android-based tablet sells in the millions, Android will suddenly appear much more attractive to developers who have taken a wait-and-see approach," said Sarah Rotman Epps, of Forrester Research.
Epps predicts that consumers will especially jump to buy an Amazon tablet if it is lighter and smaller like
a Kindle
, yet powerful with a browser, OS and apps. She said Amazon could have a "killer product" if it combined the Kindle with the power of an iPad.
"So far, Apple has faced many would-be competitors, but none have gained significant market share," said Epps. "Not only does Amazon have the potential to gain share quickly, but its willingness to sell hardware at a loss, as it did with the Kindle, makes Amazon a nasty competitor."
Amazon's tablet will feature a 9-inch screen and the Android operating system. It is due to launch before October 2011.
"When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." -- Sony BMG attorney Jennifer Pariser

AND so it starts. For sports nuts like me the next month is a slice of heaven.
But, as an England supporter, there will be an inevitable sizeable portion of hell thrown in for good measure.
Yes, the World Cup kicks off tonight with a spectacular opening ceremony followed by hosts and tournament favourites Brazil taking on Croatia.
Much as football commentators are making much of the romanticism of the World Cup being staged again by the competition's most successful nation, the reality is a little different.
There are mass protests and strikes in Brazil prompted by the amount of public money being spent on the tournament, the number of deaths during the construction phase of some stadiums, and the general unpopularity of the country's government.
Indeed, there are some in Brazil who do not want the hosts to win the World Cup because they fear it will lead to the re-election of the government later in the year.
None of that should be ignored by the thousands of journalists - from both news and sports disciplines - who will be covering the tournament.
But - and some may not find this palatable - the fact is that for the vast majority of the many millions worldwide watching the competition on television it is the football that matters most.
So that is what I will concentrate on.
As I say, I am an England supporter even though I have spent 35 of my (almost) 48 years on the planet living Wales. As such - and bearing in mind I was born a month after Bobby Moore and co lifted the cup - I am used to the drama, controversy and eventual misery that accompanies an England World Cup bid.
Contrary to popular opinion, my experience as an Englishman in Wales is that many people from these parts will be supporting Roy Hodgson's team at the World Cup.
For some reason, backing England at football is not the heinous crime that doing so at rugby would be.
My sons are my yardstick for such reasoning. Born and bred in Newport, they are both Welsh to the core. But while they would never dream of supporting England in a rugby match - in fact, they're always happy to see anyone beat the English in that sport - they are more than happy to back them in football tournaments.
No doubt that would change if Wales qualify for the finals of a major tournament.
But I digress. Back to the football.
I have a strange feeling that England will actually do rather well at this World Cup, largely because no-one expects them to.
Previous tournaments have seen England leave these shores burdened by a weight of expectation. This time many doubt they will get through a tough qualification group that includes Italy and Uruguay.
I think the lack of expectation will help England.
So here's my prediction (not that I'd put any money on it) - England will reach the semi-finals, where they will be beaten (probably on penalties) by the eventual winners. Argentina.
Farewell to a comedy hero
For many people of my age, Rik Mayall's death earlier this week came as a huge shock. As a teenager in the early 1980s, he was my comedy hero - not least because he grew up and went to school in my home county of Worcestershire.
I absolutely adored him as hapless investigative Kevin Turvey in A Kick Up The Eighties, as anarchist Cliff Richard fan Rick in The Young Ones, as Alan B'Stard in The New Statesman and, brilliantly, as Lord Flasheart in Blackadder.
Staying with the World Cup theme, there is an online campaign to get Rik's 'lost' song from the 2010 tournament, Noble England, to number one as a tribute to him.
Let's do it. He'd have loved it.

You're So Bad At Scaring People, Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston, she-with-golden-hair and a body that doth not age appears on today's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in all her sinewy Californian glory.
Aniston did her best to turn the tables on the talk show host, who is famous for scaring the bejesus out of her guests.
"It was as if you were running from a spider…" DeGeneres recounted, before showing the audience just how terrible Aniston was at trying to surprise her.
"Towards you…That was really bad," Aniston said.
Ok. At least we all agree it was a poorly-executed trick.
"Have you not ever scared anyone before?" DeGeneres asked. "Don't you like to scare? Don't you hide when Justin [Theroux] comes home?"
"No, he does that to me," Aniston admitted. "He calls it trickery. But he's constantly hiding behind drapes. And I'm constantly scared. It's like it doesn't get old on me…"
And then there was that pesky Friends reunion rumor…

The Lady and Her Monsters
By Rosanne Montillo
William Morrow, 336 pages, $29
VOLUMES dealing with classic literature can be informative, but they're not usually accused of being overly entertaining. This volume is an exception.
The subtitle is A Tale of Dissections, Real-Life Dr. Frankensteins, and the Creation of Mary Shelley's Masterpiece, which is fair warning, since the actual writing of Shelley's tale is only referred to briefly, in passing.
The Lady and Her Monsters is the first book by American academic Rosanne Montillo. She begins by setting the scene. The early 19th century in England was rife with scientific exploration. One trend was experimenting with the theory of galvanic electricity.
Our introduction is complete with stories of gruesome experiments on frogs and other creatures. The holy grail for some scientists became the ability to reanimate a dead creature and bring it back to life. These experiments weren't always private -- at times they were public exhibitions of the phenomenon.
Researchers soon tired of frogs and the like, moving on to human corpses when possible. Combined with the growing need for anatomical dissections in medical schools, these activities made the business of grave-robbing a booming industry.
Moonlight raids of cemeteries continued unabated in England for many years, until two infamous murder cases, carried out by those who decided to skip the graveyard, and procure their own freshly murdered corpses instead, led to changes in the English laws.
For most novels, we don't have an explanation from the author regarding the events that led to the genesis of their work. However, for any student of Frankenstein, the horror story contest forms part of the work itself.
Mary Shelley was spending a rainy summer in Switzerland with her lover and eventual husband, Percy Shelley, among others, when Lord Byron issued the group an invitation (or a challenge) to write a horror story.
Dr. John Polidori eventually published his story, The Vampyre, which gave rise to the modern vampire tale. Mary's story -- Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus -- was begun when she was only 19; and published anonymously when she was 21 in 1818.
Often, it's easy to forget that historical figures were real people with familiar problems, including bad relationships, inconvenient pregnancies, blended families, broken hearts and untimely demises. When Montillo discusses Mary Shelley's life, and the circumstances behind the novel's creation, it may feel like dishing the dirt, but it also brings the people and the time to life.
It's fascinating to read the details about how these individuals lived, which is usually not the focus in a literature class. We learn about Shelley's tragic entry into the world, since her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, died after giving birth to her.
We get a glimpse of her early home life, which included her father, stepmother, older half-sister and stepsister. Her stepsister Claire may (or may not) have had an affair with Mary's husband, Percy, and may (or may not) have given birth to his child.
We find out what the scandalous Byron really thought about Polidori, and what eventually happened to Percy's first wife (whom he had dumped for Mary).
The various tidbits that Montillo has assembled may seem insignificant (yet entertaining), but collectively, they go a long way towards a greater understanding of how and why only this particular young woman, Mary Shelley, could envision a creature who originated in the charnel house, was born without a mother, and was ultimately rejected by his creator.

Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom finally becomes the latest star to join the cast list of "Seasons of Dust"
Another star has been added to the cast list of "Seasons of Dust" to accompany Kate Bosworth, and it delightfully turns out to be none other than the beauty's own boyfriend, Orlando Bloom. The latest actor to join the line-up, Bloom will portray a troubled guy named Ricky who bumps into Bosworth's character, Janey, to later engage together in a frantic cross-country odyssey with two hired hit-men followed behind them.
A Depression-era drama, "Seasons" will begin filming by mid-July in Oklahoma also New Mexico with Tim Blake Nelson taking double stints as screenwriter and director as well.
Bloom himself has just finished shooting "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" which is scheduled to see its theatrical release on date 7 next month while Bosworth is about to be seen in Bryan Singer's most anticipated work of this year, "Superman Returns", opposite newcomer Brandon Routh.

Speaking at the 67th United Nations (UN) general assembly earlier this week, senior opposition leader L.K. Advani showered praise on the rural development initiatives of the government, and held up one of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) flagship programmes, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), as the key driver of rural prosperity and social inclusion in India.
At a time when narrow partisan politics is disrupting routine legislative business in India, Advani's UN speech might be a gesture of statesmanship. BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar suggested as much, arguing that the party preferred to confine its differences with the government to the nation's shores, according to an 11 October report by The Indian Express.
But motives aside, it is worthwhile questioning whether Advani's comments have merit. After all, even statesmen owe some allegiance to truth.
The UPA government's rule has indeed coincided with a faster rise in rural incomes benefiting deprived castes and classes more than earlier. Favourable government policies have helped cushion the impact of inflation on the rural poor. However, Advani may have overstated the case for the employment guarantee programme by linking the rise in rural prosperity to MGNREGA.
The impressive rise in real farm wages (adjusted for inflation) over the past few years is perhaps the biggest indicator of wider rural inclusion since it directly benefits landless labourers, widely considered to be the bottom of the pyramid, as they have the lowest incomes and often belong to the most deprived castes. A recent analysis of trends in real farm wages over the past decade by Ashok Gulati and Anjan K. Jena of the Committee of Agricultural Costs and Prices shows that real wages grew at 6.8% per annum between 2007 and 2011, after stagnating in the previous five years.
Consumption expenditure numbers corroborate the rural inclusion story. Research by Sukhdeo Thorat and Amaresh Dubey of Jawaharlal Nehru University based on the latest National Sample Survey data shows that the rate of annual decline in rural poverty in the period 2005-10 at 4.4% was double the rate of decline in 1993-05, and was more evenly spread among caste and religious groups in the recent period. The decline in poverty among scheduled tribes, for instance, was higher than the national average in 2005-10. In the same period, consumption expenditure of rural labourers grew faster than the rural average.
The reasons for the rise in rural fortunes require further research but economists identify three key factors that have pushed up rural wages: faster economic growth that led to a boom in sectors such as construction and raised demand for rural labour, a sustained rise in global commodity prices in the previous decade and higher minimum support prices paid by the government, which trickled down to labourers. MGNREGA also contributed, in the handful of states where it works well, by setting the floor for rural wages. But given that annual spending on the programme accounts for less than 1% of India's annual gross domestic product (GDP), its impact on raising national wages can only be marginal.
It is plausible that the UPA's strategy to increase rural spend has helped drive a more inclusive growth in rural India over the past few years. But the problem with the strategy is its inherent unsustainability, given its focus on short-term measures rather than on much-needed reforms to raise rural productivity.
After the disaster of the BJP's 'India Shining' campaign, the UPA correctly identified mitigating rural discontent as a key priority. Yet, it failed to develop a strategy to raise agri-productivity, which would have ensured that the rural gains are self-sustaining. Most of the 'radical' solutions it advocated, ranging from the employment guarantee program to farm loan waivers were aimed at providing temporary relief rather than addressing the structural problems of Indian agriculture. Subsidies, which again have little impact on long-term productivity, continue to dominate state expenses in agriculture. Public investments in agriculture: in water-management projects or in research and extension networks account for only a fifth of public spending, with subsidies accounting for the rest.
With economic growth slowing, global commodity prices stagnating and a mounting fiscal deficit limiting the possibility of raising farm support prices extensively, the risks to rural incomes have spiked sharply. The neglect of structural problems may finally come to bite the UPA government, with the return of rural discontent.
Rather than bask in the glory of Advani's praise, the UPA would do well to prepare for the rural Indian dream turning into a nightmare.

In a world that favors neutral home decor, it can feel intimidating to push the color limits with orange, grey and yellow. But when I spied this living room, I was drawn in immediately. The refreshing color combination of various shades of greys, paired with little pops of oranges and sunny yellows makes the space feel like a little bit of spring has already arrived.
The variations of grey hues creates a strong foundation throughout the space. I love how the darker slate color turns the fireplace into a stunning focal point. Everything on the mantel just pops right off.
The light grey couches add the perfect soft touch {and are kid friendly!}. They create the perfect base for colorful pillows and throws. Integrating white accents keeps the scheme from getting too overwhelming and also leaves the space feeling so fresh and inviting.

Many times we are asked the question; What are the best seats for Wicked the Musical? Can you see the production better from the orchestra seats, the loge or the balcony seating?
For most of the venues that Wicked the Musical will be performing at this year the answer will be the same, about 5-15 rows from the stage in the center orchestra section. Many people prefer this location so they can see the details and expressions of the actors better.
The loge or mezzanine sections, which are the elevated sections that overhang the orchestra section give a great overall view as well, and usually have more head clearance so you can see over the person in front of you easier. Though the elevated sections set you back further from the stage, you don't find yourself moving your head from side to side as much to take in all the action on the stage.
The center sections of the orchestra and balconies have the best view of the stage, but seats in the side sections that are not all the way to the right or left can still give a good view of the entire stage. The poorest viewing is from the balcony seats, especially from the last rows, but they are also the most affordable Wicked tickets available.
Wicked the Musical is currently on sale for the Gershwin Theatre in New York, the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco and more than a dozen venues across the country. Wicked Tickets on sale soon include the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans on January 9th, and the Adrienne Arsht Center and Durham Performing Arts Center on January 15th 2010.

Pitt drags a 3-4 record and two-game losing streak into its off week, with more questions than answers.
For all the good that has surfaced around the Panthers this season, there is three times as much negativity. In fact, there are three elements that most need to be corrected — most likely, not until next season — and they are:
Offensive line. Quarterback. Wide receiver.
That's coach Todd Graham's priority list. In that order.
Pitt's main area of trouble is centered on the offensive line.
Feel free to disagree with me, and I'm sure there are any number of Pitt fans who would passionately do so. Pittsburgh football fans seem to have a tendency to blame the quarterback — the easiest target — before they think the problem through to its core.
But I'm here to tell you that if the blockers can't keep the defenders out of the quarterback's face, it doesn't matter if the wide receivers get open (which they don't do often enough).
Pitt's problems stem from the loss of senior guard Chris Jacobson for the season. That took talent, energy, passion and experience out of the lineup.
Then, when senior tackle/guard Lucas Nix hurt his knee almost a month ago and missed most of three games, the Panthers' season began to unravel.
No offense to most of the remaining members of the offensive line, who may become serious contributors as soon as next spring, but Pitt was forced to tangle with two aggressive defenses (Rutgers and Utah) without enough experienced blockers.
Other than senior tackle Jordan Gibbs, the other four members of the line that started against Utah — Cory King, Ryan Turnley, Ryan Schlieper and Matt Rotherham — have a total of 13 career starts. Sorry. That's not enough.
Inexperience on the offensive line is Pitt's No. 1 problem. That's not meant to offend anyone, but it just stems from a belief that an offense can't go without room to move. Pitt has no room.
Yes, the quarterbacks (plural) aren't blameless, although it's not Trey Anderson's fault that he won't be 19 for three more months and he just graduated from high school five months ago. But he isn't ready to handle the critical moments of a game, and that's mainly when he plays. A real head-scratcher, by the way.
Redshirt junior Tino Sunseri has had his moments — good and bad — but his greatest sin is an inability to get rid of the ball fast enough to avoid sacks. When he was dumped on successive plays at the end of the first half of the Utah game, it was only a matter of time until coach Todd Graham pulled him.
At wide receiver, Pitt has no game-breakers, which is what made Graham's offense special when he was at Tulsa. I also find it unsettling that no upperclassman wide receiver had a catch against Utah.
How does that happen? Simple: A quarterback knocked off his feet can't throw the ball.

Fresh-faced UK techno producer Chris Page has only been releasing music for the past year, but already his sound is taking in a healthy range of styles. It's a crisp, digital sound he has striven for on the I Am Still EP, but with an electronica sophistication at times; most notably in the robotic synth work you find on "Negative". Elsewhere there's more straight-up bleak techno fare to be found, shot through with a careful kind of restraint. Bristol producer Damien Schneider jacks "I Am Still" up nicely with some nasty hats and a mean kick drum, adding a tougher edge to the original.

Do you sometimes wish you had functions that standard JavaScript does not provide? For instance, a trim or strip function that removes leading and trailing white spaces from a string object. In LiveCycle Designer, the traditional way is to create a script object and a function. Then to use it, you would have a function call similar to the following statement:
var newString = ScriptObject.trim(oldString);
These function calls can become lengthy in situations where the script object is located on a different page than your method call. For example:
var newString = form1.page1.subform1.ScriptObject.trim(oldString);
The prototype property is probably one of the most under-utilized scripting features when it comes to LiveCycle form development. However, it is so powerful as it allows you to easily extend and reuse JavaScript intrinsic classes and your own. For instance, the trim function can be rewritten as follows:
String.prototype.trim = function() { return this.replace(/^\s+/, '').replace(/\s+$/, ''); }
And to use it:
var oldString = " Hello ";
var newString = oldString.trim();
// newString -> "Hello";
You may also want to have another method called "strip" that performs the same task.
String.prototype.strip = String.prototype.trim;
As you can see, your function is simpler and easy to use. Using the prototype property for custom functions also prevents your code from breaking in case you change the name or location of the script object and provides a natural way to extend objects even if you did not author them.
Based on my past projects where the requirement was to create resuable Designer library components for multiple teams, I usually wrap my script objects in a subform, make it into a library component (xfo) or a form fragment and share it with other form developers.
Also to make the JavaScript interpreter in Acrobat/Reader aware of your prototype extensions, you must load all your prototype definitions when the form loads. You can achieve this by wrapping the prototype function and property definitions inside a function and call that function in the subform initialize event. For instance:
function initialize()
In my sample form, once the extensions have been initialized, it will print out the below messages in the debugger console.
Initializing Array extensions...
Array extensions initialized.
Initializing String extensions...
String extensions initialized.
One last note – as you develop these prototype functions, don't forget to include documentation comments to increase readability and ease of use. Feel free to share your experiences or ask any question you may have.

WM girls hoops coach resigns
Dan Thayer, uncomfortable in his latest gig, has resigned as girls basketball coach at West Mifflin — his alma mater — just months after being named to the post.
He was replaced by Scott Stephenson, the school's athletic director and a former men's basketball coach at CCAC-South.
Thayer, citing philosophical differences with the West Mifflin adminstration for his departure, was hired in May to succeed Rob Yeschenko after coaching the girls team at Brentwood for two seasons. Yeschenko resigned at West Mifflin following a two-year record of 20-23, which included a pair of WPIAL playoffs victories.
Stephenson said Thayer sent a letter of resignation to West Mifflin on Oct. 4.
"I had a certain level of expections. I wanted those expectations to be met," Thayer said. "The school and I didn't seem to have the same philosophy on that."
It is one of two recent coaching changes at West Mifflin.
Jeff Smith was elevated to baseball coach after serving as the school's junior varsity coach under Jeff Kuzma, whose contract was not renewed. Kuzma had coached the Titans since 2001, leading them to two WPIAL section championships and four WPIAL playoffs appearances.
Thayer began to have doubts about the West Mifflin job after watching the team play in a summer league in McKeesport.
He alluded mainly to instances of court conduct, calling them "embarrassing," though he did not name any players.
"I've done this for 18 years, and there were just so many flagrant fouls," Thayer said. "I was saying, 'We can't have that.' Every time you turned around, there were more obstacles."
Stephenson, who has no experience as a high school girls coach, spent two seasons as men's coach at CCAC-South, compiling a record of 15-24 from 2004-06 before being named AD at West Mifflin, where he previously served as as a boys middle school coach. He also has been a boys assistant coach at Steel Valley.
He said Thayer's abrupt departure surprised him.
"We all were sort of stunned by it,"
The PIAA's 2013 girls basketball season begins with the official start of practices Monday.
Stephenson said none of the latest applicants for the position left vacant by Thayer possessed head coaching experience, which prompted school officials to approach Stephenson about the job.
"With it being so late in the year, and with me having had some head coaching experience, they asked if I'd be interested," Stephenson said. "I figured I'd give it a try."
Stephenson inherits four returning starters from a 10-13 team in 2012-13 that was eliminated by Blackhawk in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs. Among them, point guard Ciara Patterson was named The Daily News Player of the Year by Trib Total Media.
West Mifflin has enjoyed just one winning record since posting four consecutive 20-win seasons, from 2004-08.
Thayer, a 1988 West Mifflin graduate, said he has no hard feelings.
"I don't blame them for any of this," he said. "If we weren't going to do it a certain way, we weren't going to do it at all. I'm OK with not coaching for now. You want to do things the way you've been successful doing it."

Carmel United Keeps Rolling With 1-0 Victory Against Dallas Texans
CARSON, Calif. (July 12, 2009) – Continuing their run at a U-17/18's D.A. national championship, Carmel United SC defeated the Dallas Texans 1-0 off a goal from Nikita Kotlov in the 13th minute. The win makes Carmel the only undefeated team in group 1, while Dallas falls to 0-1-1.
Both teams came out aggressively trying to pass the ball around, but both defenses were also up to the challenge and the early minutes saw many attacks get snuffed out inside the goal box. A couple of long range efforts were taken in an attempt to test the goalkeepers, but neither found the frame.
Utilizing one of their unique weapons, Carmel United got on the board first with a headed finish by Nikita Kotlov in the 13th minute. From a long throw in from the right sideline, forward Matthew Sanner got up to the ball first and flicked a header across the box. On the receiving end was Kotlov, nodding home the ball into the right side netting.
Despite the momentum, Carmel seemed to stop pressing the attack, and Dallas took advantage. In the 20th minute, a turnover at midfield gave the Texans a 5v4 counter attack. Surging forward, Ray Deleon chose to have a go from 28 yards dead center, but his shot went wide to the left.
In the 63rd, Kotlov was instrumental in almost doubling their lead, by taking the ball down the right sideline and turning the corner on the Texans' Lenox Evans. His cross was sent out, but the clearance fell to the feet of Jeremy Vollmer. Attempting the volley, Vollmer's shot went high and wide.
With the clock dwindling down and Dallas pressing for the equalizer, Carmel took to playing keep away, passing the ball around the midfield and defense trying to kill the clock. Largely succeeding, Dallas only got one more chance on a long ball into the box with very few seconds left that Carmel goalkeeper Jon Dawson did well to come out and catch, ensuring the shutout for his team.

Last night two employees of a company contracted to provide equipment for The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour were arrested in Pittsburgh, PA. However, neither of the men involved are employees of the tour or Ms. Spears. The two individuals have since been dismissed by their employer.

Shabnam Ramaswamy, who started life afresh from the streets to become the force behind Jagriti Public School and Stree Shakti womens co-operative in Katna village of Murshidabad, returned to her alma mater, La Martiniere for Girls, on Friday morning for the first time in 45 years.
The 60-year-old fairy godmother to hundreds of women and children took a walk down her La Martiniere memory lane
Whenever Id go over the AJC Bose flyover Id point at my school and show my driver or some staff member travelling with me in the car: See, thats my school! After I went out of school in 1969 and all these years of struggle, I had never set foot in my school.
As I was addressing students of the school, I was thinking I would have loved my father to be alive today. In those days, picking me from a village, bringing me to the city and admitting me to this school, what a chance it was for me.
I went through all the stereotypes of marriage and conventions but it was the school that really made me what I am in terms of my lateral thinking, turning of views, never to give up against all odds. These are things in the books you read but the teachers put it across in a manner that really changed the way I think.
One book that I loved reading during my school days was Tom Sawyer. He was such a big influence on me. Him painting the wall, the mundane routine of doing that job when everyone else was having fun. At 22 (Shabnam was married off at 16) when Id see other girls around me having fun and I would think, like Tom Im going to make everybody come and paint my wall too while I sit on the stool with all my treasures. And today it seems like its really happened!
Look at the background I came from. My mother was illiterate, so was my grandmother. My father was in the army. So it was really the school that taught me how to handle life and the education gave me the ability to juxtapose both worlds, not to hate that or look down on it but do something about it. In fact, today Ill be visiting one such teachers house who has baked a cake and waiting for me. Im just looking forward to meeting her after all these years.
College I did because I desperately needed the graduate degree but its the school that made me. Looking at the school after all these years, no matter how much the buildings have changed and new ones have come up, these pillars will remain. The pillars are like pillars of strength for me. Today, with pride I can say that I come from here.
My favourite corner was always the field because I loved sports. I used to throw javelin, discus and do high jumps, long jumps. I used to participate in inter-school sporting events. I wasnt a hugely academic person.
When I was starting Jagriti (Shabnams CBSE-affiliated English-medium co-educational public school for the poor) my reference point was this school. The discipline, the curriculum and the philosophy is modelled on all that I learnt from my own school La Martiniere.

Powell: US to promote idea of democratic Middle East during 2004
Secretary of State Colin Powell said the Bush administration would continue to concentrate on building democratic societies in Iraq during 2004, but is "resolved as well to turn the president's goal of a free and democratic Middle East into a reality."
Without elaborating, Powell wrote in an opinion page article for Thursday's editions of The New York Times that the United States will "stand by the Iranian people, and others living under oppressive regimes, as they strive for freedom."
"This struggle will not be confined to the Middle East," Powell wrote. He said "freedom cannot flourish and prosperity cannot advance without security" and that "al-Qaeda remains a great danger."
"The war on terrorism remains our first priority," Powell mentioned, "but success in that war depends on constructive ties among the world's major powers. These we pursue without respite." (Albawaba.com)

A MAN has died while delivering machinery to a house in Rawtenstall.
Air and land ambulances were called to Fernlea, off Bury Road, at 8.05am yesterday after the man collapsed and suffered injuries.
The man, who was in his forties and from Bury, died at the scene.
Detective Inspector Jim Elston, who attended the incident, said the death was being treated as 'unexplained' but was 'not thought to be suspicious'. Officers cordoned off the scene yesterday morning while crime scene investigators and members of the road collision team inspected the driveway and an orange JCB vehicle.
A Lancashire police spokesperson said: "At shortly after 8.20am the ambulance service reported a man who had suffered injuries at an address at Fernlea, Bury Road, Rawtenstall.
"Officers attended and following extensive inquiries it would appear that the man, who was delivering machinery to the address, has collapsed and sadly died.
"At this stage the death is being treated as unexplained but is not thought to be suspicious."
The spokesperson added that the man could not yet be named because police are yet to inform his next of kin. The North West Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 8.05am and despatched a Helimed and ambulance to the scene.
"When we arrived it became clear that the patient did not need to be taken to hospital."
A spokeswoman for the North West Air Ambulance confirmed its paramedics had attended the scene and described the man as having 'very serious suspected injuries'.
A file has been prepared for the East Lancashire coroner, Richard Taylor.
The Health and Safety Executive, which deals with some workplace fatalities, said it had not been informed.
Residents at Fernlea declined to comment.

Scottdale accepts bid for gazebo parklet
Scottdale council voted to accept Silvis Group of Greensburg's bid for the new gazebo parklet project expected to begin soon.
Terms of the bid will now be discussed by representatives of the Jacobs Creek Watershed Association and project consulting engineers Pennoni.
The low bid out of 11 submitted was $157,250. The project will be funded with a 319 Federal Grant, managed through the Jacobs Creek Watershed Association.
"This is scheduled to start next month," JCWA President Mike Barrick. "It should be done by the weekend of Memorial Day."
Council also discussed the salt shed, which is needed to store salt for the borough street department.
Borough Manager Angelo Pallone said a wooden shed was recommended as a less costly alternative to a metal structure.
"A cheaper way could be a wooden shed that is three-sided with the open side open and not exposed to the weather," Pallone said, adding that a heavy curtain could then be placed over the open side to protect the salt. "It would be sufficient and we could get 20-some to 30 years out of it."
Cost to build the shed would be covered by a grant acquired previously by the borough.
Pallone also said the borough will again look for an intern to help in Scottdale's offices and wanted to clarify that Councilman Jack Davis did not disapprove of an intern, but felt the applicants interviewed needed to know QuickBooks 95.
"I would really like to get somebody to answer phones and stuff and then give them more added responsibilities as they go," Pallone said, adding that when they originally interviewed for the interns, QuickBooks 95 would have been a great asset but the needs of the position no longer require that.
"The goals two years ago are different than what we have now," Pallone said.
Council also passed a resolution to have President Andy Pinskey sign the new contract with Building Inspection Underwriters and another resolution to have the company designate agents who will be handling the cases.
"This way we will have names on paper of the agents who will be doing the work," Pinskey said.
Council also:
• Reappointed Carol Hunker to the library board; Steven Matsey to the zoning hearing board; and Troy Soberdash to the Westmoreland-Fayette Municipal Sewage Authority.
• Approve a handicapped parking sign at 331 South Broadway, which will be done at the requester's expense.
• Ratified all current professional appointments in the borough.
• Posted the tax collector salary at $13,000 for the years 2014 through 2017.
King announced that tickets for an upcoming spaghetti dinner fundraiser are now available and can be purchased at the Scottdale Bank and Trust and the borough building.
"Tickets will be $10 for adults and $6 for children," King said, adding that all proceeds from the dinner will go toward a new police car the borough hopes to purchase soon. "This dinner is not costing the borough a dime."
The dinner will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Scottdale Firemen's Club.

So, getting on the scale was hard for me this morning, simply because I knew. A person cannot have the sort of eating weekend that I had and not have it reflect in some way. Especially not 1,016 calories of Chunky Monkey.
Every single fiber of my being did not want to weigh in. But I went ahead because unless I decide to drop out of the My Long Hot Active Summer Challenge, it's something I need to do. Besides, facing the music is somtimes the only way to get the (Chunky) monkey off your back.
Now that this is said and done, I have a couple of thoughts which I've decided to share even though some of you may want to skip straight to the comments or to the next blog you'll be reading today.
1. My body l-o-v-e-s that damn weight. If you haven't figured it out yet, the whole reason this blog is named Doing A 180 is because of my sincere desire to get as far away from that weight as possible. But it just keeps repeating on me like a good bean soup.
2. While some people do not care what they weigh, I do. I am 5'6" tall. I don't care what anyone says (including my doctor who thinks I need to only lose around 10-15 lbs.), I need to weigh around 30 pounds less than what I do right now. In fact, 150 is not even my dream weight, or even my pre-thyroid issues weight, it's just what I know will be healthier for me.
3. The reason I mention my doctor: some of you may remember that she suggested I go on a 1,000 calorie a day eating plan for two weeks. Her reasoning is this: thyroid patients have horrible metabolisms even after getting rebalanced with meds. Active thyroid patients seem to have an even harder time. Her opinion is that my body has gotten used to 1500 or so calories a day and is now running like a well-oiled engine on this amount. The only way to "fix" that is to completely shock my system.
4. However, because I am extremely active and somewhat fit (I don't care what the body fat thingy on my scale says!), I honestly cannot wrap my mind around eating less than I do right now. Last week I burned over 3500 calories in exercise alone. Currently I take Muay Thai Boxing 2-3 times a week (1 hour classes) and I'm running 25 miles a week.
5. I have been thinking HARD about food this week. Longer followers of this blog will remember that I really don't remove any sort of foods from my eating plan as I feel anything in moderation is ok. My issue is the moderation, but it's not even a regular problem. Prior to Sunday night it had been so long since I had a food tantrum that I couldn't even remember the last time. Sure, I'll make my jokes with Charlie about the Cheez-Its (I do really, really like them), but honestly I work pretty hard at not thinking of anything as being forbidden. Because when I do, is when trouble starts.
6. So I've been pondering the thought that maybe I should stop tracking all together and just eat. As a thyroid patient and someone who feels completely betrayed by their body, that is a very, very scary thought. But I haven't run away from it completely.
7. My other thought all week long has been that I AM NOT WHAT I EAT - DAMMIT! All week long I've been clinging to the idea that I might not actually be a bad person because I lost it with some ice cream. I mean, yes, my body may show the effects of poor choices versus healthier options, but ME, the woman I am right now today, the woman I so much want to be, is not about the food I've put in my mouth. And that's just a fact that, at 50 years old, is time for me to come to grips with.
