Cannot add Maven 2 project via POM URL if SCM user name contains "@" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CONTINUUM-1970 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1970 Project: Continuum Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.2 Reporter: Jeff Mills Priority: Minor A malformed URL error occurs when trying to add a Maven 2 project specifying an HTTP URL to the POM file if the user name contains an "@" character. In our environment, subversion account names are of the form "name@domain". After entering the URL, username, and password, a "malformed URL" error is displayed. The error message in the log was like "Malformed URL: http:*****@domain:password@url_to_the_pom". At first I wondered why only the first part of the user name was masked in the log and the password was not, until I realized that the system considered everything after the first "@" to be the URL. Work-around: I entered the URL-encoded value of the user name ("name%40domain") in the form and the project was successfully added. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Let's start off by taking a look at some facts.
IGN's mobile traffic is on the rise. Here's a chart of monthly unique visitors coming to IGN.com from mobile devices.
Monthly unique visitor traffic coming from mobile devices has doubled compared to where we were in January 2010.
What tends to be more interesting data is what percentage of our site's total traffic is coming from mobile devices.
Today, mobile traffic coming to all of ign.com is between 8-9% of our site's total and growing.
Let's take a closer look at which mobile operating systems are contributing to a majority of our traffic. The following is a graph of the percentage of all mobile traffic that certain mobile devices drive to all of IGN.com (this is a % of all mobile traffic, not a % of all traffic).
- The iPhone has been consistently a major traffic driver to all of ign.com.
- Traffic from Android and iPad is clearly growing.
- Android traffic was ~9% in January 2010 and it rose to ~24% in December 2010.
- iPad traffic was ~2.5% in March 2010, it rose to ~12% in December 2010.
- Blackberry traffic has been consistently flat.
- While WinMo and WebOS traffic is negligible, Symbian's traffic drop from ~31% of the total mobile traffic in January 2010 to ~10% in December 2010 is most interesting, but not surprising.
So, we should start building an app for Android, right?
Traffic drivers are a key way for us to gauge what our users are using and how we can better serve them – simple. We're keeping our ears to the ground and paying close attention to industry trends – yes, we know Android is growing like crazy. We want to build for Android, and we wish we could do it as soon as we like. Unfortunately, there are a myriad of issues surrounding development for Android.
- Fragmentation – The Android smartphone market is ridiculously fragmented. Take a look at this chart by Google:
from http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
This is a chart based on the number of Android devices that have accessed Android Market within a 14-day period ending on January 4, 2011.
This is just the Android operating systems. While most Android devices run on some kind of a standard resolution, this is not a given. Bottom-line: the hardware Android runs on complicates this chart even further.
- Developing for Android is a bitch not easy – Android apps are written in Java. We're a lean mobile team, and while some of us here dig Java, I doubt you will hear that we want to develop in Java. Eclipse is a monstrous beast and has poor design time support (compared with Visual Studio, for example). Not to mention that the Android dev environment is just super painful and the Android emulator is ridiculously buggy and unpredictable.
- Do we really another native app? – Seguing from the previous point, we are not confident that we want to invest in another code base. We have a v1 of our iOS app that is available today, we are investing in a v2 of our app with a brand new codebase, but that process has been less than easy (the Apple dev tools are equally bad, BTW).
- Android on GoogleTV? On Android Tablets? – Supposedly Android is coming to GoogleTV. It already powers Android tablets. Potentially more fragmentation.
Long story short, we want to build for Android. But when we do, we want the experience to be truly rich, and we want it to cater to all platforms and form factors that Android powers.
What we've done for the interim is we've wrapped up http://m.ign.com into a native app and made it available on the Android market (I wish I could link to the actual app itself, but apparently this is not feasible – WTF?) This caters to the users who use the Android market to search for IGN, but it's true that the experience is less than desirable and doesn't provide anything more than the mobile optimized version of our website. This was a tactic on our part to cater to our Android users, our longer term strategy involves a native app.
But what about the iPad? And Windows Phone 7?
We really don't want to be stuck with multiple code bases. We still run in to issues with our current iOS app – intermittent crashes and issues that we need to go back and investigate. And in spite of what people say, the iOS development environment is not an easy one to work with. I can't imagine having to do this for a Java app, a Silverlight app, an iOS-iPad app and whatever-else-is-going-to-be-the-next-big-thing. No way.
HTML5 is our savior
In an ideal world, we'd want to have one code base, written beautifully with an model-view-controller (MVC) architecture and the ability to switch out the view based on the device's UI so that the style and theme of the phone this app is being run on, applies automatically. This may sound easier than is to implement (especially in the case of a unique UI like that of Windows Phone 7's, but I'm less worried about that than having to write the same app all over in Objective C, Java, C# etc.)
So we've decided that we're going to make a concerted effort to create all of our new projects in HTML5, CSS3and Javascript. For one of our upcoming mobile projects we've decided to use Sencha Touch for our framework and we will be coupling it with PhoneGap. Yes, I know we're foregoing the ability to do certain things that are truly native to a phone. But we don't have any such immediate needs. So for our upcoming project, we will have a single code base that will cater natively to iOS and Android devices – these two OSs combined represent 86% of all the traffic that comes to IGN.com from mobile devices.
I'm bullish that more mobile devices will support HTML5 and this will help us bring our apps to other devices more easily than ever before.
PS: If you're wondering why Sencha and not jQueryMobile…

Online reviewers find friends, fame as Elite members
At first glance, Yelp.com doesn't look much different from its competition. Like Citysearch, AOL City Guide, Urbanspoon and others, it's a business directory with a heavy focus on restaurants that are sorted, rated and reviewed, with room for Web users to post their comments.
But Yelp has a secret weapon: a loyal cadre of glamorous geeks known as the Yelp Elite who are taking the concept of user reviews to a new level.
'They're the role models,' says Laura Nestler, a Portland-based Yelp employee whose title is Community Manager. 'They're the social mavens. They just embody the idea of Yelp.'
The ideal Yelper contributes to the site with such frequency that it becomes an online food diary. The ideal Yelper also befriends other Yelpers in both the virtual and real worlds, making the site a cornerstone of his or her social life. And these ideal Yelpers are rewarded with the Elite label.
On Yelp.com, a reviewers' Elite status is noted alongside their user name, which is usually a first name and initial - Laura N., Andrea V., Buck J. But the real incentive for becoming Elite is the opportunity to meet other Elites, both online and in person.
Local businesses including New Deal Distillery, Moonstruck Chocolate, Hotlips Pizza and the Hotel deLuxe have sponsored Yelp Elite events, providing free food and drinks. There are frequent unofficial Yelp get-togethers as well, where Yelpers pay their own way.
An event in mid-October drew about 30 Yelpers to the Doug Fir Lounge for the first in a series of fireplace-themed happy hour gatherings.
Cocktail in hand, Nestler circulates among chatting Yelpers, greeting them by name, making jokes. She's been fostering the growth of the Portland Yelp site for about a year and a half.
Yelp launched in San Francisco in 2004. The site currently is active in 21 markets, including New York, Miami, Las Vegas and Seattle.
Nationally the site claims 14 million unique viewers a month, with a total of 4 million reviews. Yelp neither pays the reviewers nor reimburses them for meals. While staff members like Nestler contribute reviews, these are not flagged as official or editorial.
'It's all official,' Nestler says, 'which is interesting because you never know what you're going to get.'
The whole thing works, she believes, because 'everyone has an opinion' and because people always prefer the advice of friends and neighbors to that of strangers.
'It's nice to know that these aren't professional paid reviewers,' Nestler says. 'These aren't people who are going out on a corporate credit card. These are just real people who care about happy hours, who care about the best burrito for your money. … We have Yelpers that are high-end foodies; we have Yelpers that are cart enthusiasts.'
Rather than read every single review, advanced Yelpers bookmark their favorite writers. They also leave notes, reacting to one another's experiences.
'We do become friends, we do meet and hang out because it really does draw together like-minded individuals,' Nestler says. 'And Yelpers all across the country are doing this, too.'
Yelpers unite
'Are you Chris L.?' asks Danielle Kuehnel, approaching a man standing at the Doug Fir bar. She's been looking out for him because she admires his writing.
'He came on the scene a few months ago, and he's hilarious,' she says. 'I really want to meet this guy.'
Kuehnel is a typical Yelper, a 23-year-old who works for an online business. She's been Yelp Elite for about two months.
Originally from Portland, Kuehnel went to college out of state, and returned home to find she didn't know a lot of people in her hometown.
'I'm not about to do online dating,' she says, but a network for meeting friends sounded good.
She finds a spot by the fireplace, where she's joined by Kim Viernes, a 28-year-old who first began writing for Yelp in 2005, while she was working in Internet marketing in San Francisco.
'It was my job to be on the Internet every hour of every day and look for online discussion forums,' she explains. Once she found Yelp, she used it as an outlet. 'For me it was a little release of creativity,' she says. 'I've been a writer since, like, birth. It was just fun.'
Kuehnel and Viernes begin discussing how to handle a negative dining experience. Yelp includes a pathway for business owners to respond to individual reviewers, and Kuehnel says she has received one angry e-mail. Viernes prefers to refrain from Yelping if she has a bad meal.
At this point Joshua Chang, who is sitting nearby, jumps into the conversation.
'The point is to be honest, right?' he asks. 'Because you're trying to communicate. It's real critique from real people.'
He assumes that readers will take individual reviews with a grain of salt. 'People come from different perspectives. If you want to get an idea of what a restaurant's like, it's good to read a good cross-section of reviews.'
He adds, 'I put a lot more weight on my favorite writers than I do on just random people.'
Viernes agrees. 'As I create a social network and befriend people, I'm much more likely to read reviews from friends than I am from strangers.'
'It's really like a bunch of friends,' says Chang, a 31-year-old who moved to Portland from Hawaii a month ago. He says he's developed a habit of bringing home menus from every restaurant he goes to, and often snaps photos of his food.
'It's a group of people who find unique, cool places to go, and they share it with each other,' he says. 'I think that's the aspect of it that I really like.'
Brains, bars link Elite
For Chris Lister - the hilarious Chris L. - feedback from other Yelpers was the hook.
'I'm an addict, I really am,' he says.
Lister's job is search engine optimization, that is, finding ways to heighten his clients' Web visibility. In that capacity, he banged out a couple of reviews about six months ago, and loved the response from Yelpers, who mark one another's reviews as either 'useful,' 'cool' or 'funny.'
'People here are the most intelligent group of people I've met in a long time,' he says. 'And everybody has a great style.'
He sees Yelp as a community of writers, and when these colleagues approve of his work, he says, 'Those are some of the best compliments you could ever get.'
Tonight he's meeting his online friends for the first time.
'The Internet allows you to connect with people that you would not be able to normally meet,' he says between sips of beer. 'Look at these people here. … Everybody's engaged in conversation, nobody's against the wall. This is my first time, and I immediately felt that I knew everybody.
'Everybody obviously likes to drink,' he adds. 'But don't all good writers?'
Lister describes himself as a restaurant snob. He's a 36-year-old Portland native who earned Elite status just a few months after first logging on to the site.
Like all Elites, he isn't aware of the exact process by which he earned his badge.
'There's no special secret algorithm,' Nestler explains. 'It's more like you know it when you see it.'
There are certain requirements. To qualify as Elite, you must be 21 and over, use your real photo on the site, and use your real first name. You can't own or operate a business that would cause a conflict of interest. Yelpers can nominate one another if they wish, and you're notified by Yelp when you become Elite.
Social time is key
'To be a Yelper you do need to be able to go out,' Nestler says. 'A lot of people ask, does this cater to a younger crowd?'
The answer is yes, more or less. Yelp users tend to be from 26 to 35 years old. The majority have a college degree, and almost half of those have done postgraduate work. They're split equally between male and female.
They put in endless hours, generating a vast quantity of information, opinion and timely updates that even the most well-funded of newspapers or magazines could never afford.
As for quality, chefs and professional food critics can be skeptical. A recent New York Times article commented that when you write on Yelp, 'You're not in the most erudite company,' and noted dryly that when a Times critic files a review, it doesn't include an icon showing how many online friends he has.
For Yelpers, though, friendship and food writing are two sides of the same coin.
And with its clever fusion of MySpace, Citysearch and Wikipedia, Yelp is poised to cash in.

Ukraine's leader can still save EU deal: EU presidency
Lithuania, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, said on Wednesday that Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych could still save a historic free-trade deal with the European Union.
Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said the inability of Ukraine's parliament to agree on a bill to free jailed ex-premier Yulia Tymoshenko did not yet rule out the conclusion of an EU-Ukraine association agreement in Vilnius later this month.
"I believe President Yanukovych can still save the EU deal if he assumes leadership and responsibility," Linkevicius told AFP.
"Of course, the situation isn't good because of a lack of clarity. There seemed to be the political will to sign the deal, but it has not been backed up with concrete steps", Linkevicius said.
Without elaborating, he insisted Kiev must "make progress" before the EU Eastern Partnership summit in Lithuania's capital Vilnius slated for November 28-29.
The EU has repeatedly urged Kiev to ensure there is no "selective justice" in the Tymoshenko case.
The release of Tymoshenko from prison is a key condition set by EU leaders for Ukraine signing an Association Agreement -- a first step toward EU membership -- at the summit in late November, but an extraordinary session of parliament ended on Wednesday without deputies even taking a vote on the issue.
The bill would have allowed convicts to leave Ukraine for treatment abroad and thus permit Tymoshenko, who suffers from back pain, to go to a clinic in Germany.
The session was widely seen as a last chance for Ukraine to allow Tymoshenko to go free ahead of a Vilnius summit on November 28-29.
But Linkevicius insisted the chances were still on the table: "If you ask if today we can certainly say that the agreement will not be signed, I would not confirm that".
The prospect of Ukraine signing the agreement had infuriated Moscow, which wants Kiev to join its Customs Union with Belarus and Kazakhstan, and has raised the prospect of retaliation on the already battered Ukrainian economy.
The opposition's suspicions about the intentions of President Yanukovych were amplified when it emerged he had travelled to Moscow on Saturday for secret talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

[Image by moe_ on Flickr]Despite 99 new stores, continued strong used game sales and better performance than the rest of the retail video game industry, GameStop reported less-than-expected earnings for this year's second quarter, and delivered a fall forecast lower than analysts expected. Analysts were looking for $1.82 billion in sales this past quarter, but apparently the $1.8 billion GameStop earned in actual sales (31.4 percent of which came from used game sales) just wasn't good enough.
Additionally, GameStop executives tried to convince analysts that they'd actually be saving money by spending $10 on a membership card and subscription to Game Informer, but analysts weren't interested, claiming that "all they wanted was to play Red Dead Redemption." Further attempts to sell the card also failed, despite assurances of 10 percent off used game purchases in the future.

The tumult over the death of Margaret Thatcher on Monday has continued online, where Geri Halliwell, an original member of the Spice Girls singing group, apologized to the many people who were angered when "Ginger Spice" called the former British Prime Minister "the original Spice Girl."
"I'm sorry if I offended u...x," @GeriHalliwell posted regarding her earlier Twitter message that stated: "Thinking of our 1st lady of girl power ... a green grocer's daughter who taught me any thing is possible."
Halliwell deleted the tweet.
This isn't the first time Halliwell praised Thatcher. During the 1997 general election, Halliwell declared:
I saw a lot of what Mrs Thatcher did. She was definitely the original Spice Girl rising from the green grocer's daughter to Prime Minister.
Ginger Spice also claimed that her own background was deeply rooted in support for the Conservative Party. In addition, Thatcher was the pioneer of "Girl Power" and the spiritual sixth member of the Spice Girls.
Meanwhile, as quoted by Twitchy, @thebegrudger snarled: "[W]hat a nob you are Halliwell, she was a bitch of the highest order, a stroke was too good for her."
Along those lines, @JoshWoogs unleashed even more venom when she said that Thatcher was "a lying bitch you mean. I hope she rots, the horrible little slag. I'm just gutted she didn't die more painfully."
"Yes, you too can hope for dementia followed by death," growled @The_Verth to Halliwell.
"Margaret Thatcher did not possess an ounce of 'girl power,'" @LisaCChilds declared. "Legendary and divisive she was, feminist she was not."
In addition, @brendandurgan told Halliwell to "shut your mouth thatcher was a whore of a woman."
@turrhall cited Thatcher's career as "proof that women can give as little of a sh*t about human dignity as men. Awe inspiring."
"Yes, it appears her education cuts helped you become an intellectually challenged illiterate cunt," @raineyforbes noted angrily. "GIRL POWER!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!"
As NewsBusters previously reported, the hateful online reaction to the passing of the 87-year-old baroness forced the British Daily Telegraph newspaper to shut down all comment sections on articles related to Thatcher's death.
Needless to say, Halliwell isn't the first celebrity to be "tarred and feathered" by self-proclaimed mavens of tolerance for straying from the left-wing party line.
Last October, African-American actress Stacey Dash found out the hard way what happens to celebrities who think for themselves.
Dash's troubles began when she posted the following message on her Twitter page, accompanied by a photo of herself with an American flag:
Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future. @mittromney @teamromney #mittromney #VOTE #voteromney
It didn't take long for supporters of Barack Obama to respond with racial epithets while attacking her choice for president, including a charge that Dash is "an indoor slave."
On the following day, the actress said during an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan that she chose Romney "not by the color of his skin, but the content of his character."
Returning to the past 24 hours, not all posters have been furious about the message from Ginger Spice. @choosingfreedom wrote:
I'll be interested to see what you take away from today. There's a huge lesson about leftism vs freedom here. Be well.
The truth is that Halliwell did nothing that required an apology. It's a sad time when a hateful mob can shut down a newspaper's message boards or badger someone who has committed the ultimate sin: disagreeing with liberals in public.

Arvizu's El Fresnal Grocery Store
El Fresnal Grocery in downtown Phoenix
photo by Esther Groves
The old Phoenix warehouse district is roughly between Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street, and between Madison Street south to Grant. There are numerous old warehouse buildings in this area, but one of the oldest and most interesting is Arvizu's El Fresnal Grocery Store.
This building was constructed in 1900 -- 12 years before Arizona became a state. It was the earliest Hispanic-owned store in Phoenix, and was run by Trinidad Arvizu from 1900 until to 1920. The store ceased operations in 1924 (when the number of grocery stores had increased by nearly tenfold.)
Today, Arvizu's El Fresnal Grocery Store sits empty; its worn red bricks still bears the worn paint advertising the long-closed grocer. At the rear of the building, there's even more hidden history embedded in the bricks -- specifically, remnants of a "Mexican Masonic Temple."
Arvizu's El Fresnal Grocery Store
Photos by E. Groves
Apparently, the store doubled as a fraternal meeting place. On the back of the building, high up in the bricks, you can see the Masonic "G" symbol, along with an upside-down, five-pointed silver star (commonly referred to as a "pentagram," but more than likely symbolizing the Eastern Star here). There's also a faded circle painted above the rear archway, which looks like it could have been a sun with rays at one time.
There's not much to see inside the store anymore. A peek through the windows reveals a couple of empty, open rooms with ratty blue carpet on the floors. There are a couple metal dining chairs in the front room, but no evidence that this place used to be one of the premier grocers in downtown Phoenix.
Masonic symbols still adorn the back of the El Fresnal Grocery Store building.
The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, which why the building hasn't been razed, but the future of the old Arvizu's El Fresnal Grocery Store is still uncertain. The building's privately owned, and there are no signs of restoration yet.
If you want to check out it, it's easy enough to find. Arvizu's El Fresnal Grocery Store is located at 310 E. Buchanan Street, around the corner from Coach & Willie's, and right across the street from the fisheries building.

Happy Birthday Christian Kane! Raise a toast, he turns 36 today.
I'm always vaguely shocked about how old some of the Whedonverse actors are now (not that 36 is old - just comparatively). Then I remember it's nearing on ten years since most of them were on my screen.

Lauren Nuggent had dreamed of success in business, not a husband and family, but when her biological clock began making its presence felt, Lauren needed to know whether to listen or not. The decision... More > to do so rested on whether she had any MATERNAL INSTINCTS. The chance to find out materialized in a business meeting. Co-worker and single dad, Sam Hackett was being forced out of his comfy telecommuniting life temporarily to deal with a pesky client...an assignment that would force him to journey out of town. Since his usual childcare backup was off on a cruise, Sam wasn't thrilled with the idea, but management insisted he couldn't weasel out of the client's demand. He needed a caregiver for his toddler daughter now. Even Lauren was surprised when she heard herself volunteer for the job. Sam demanded proof she was competent...which meant she had to spend a number of days rubbing elbows with him. And soon wanted to do more with the handsome dad.

South Florida (generally defined by the three major counties Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach) is the seventh-largest metropolitan statistical area in the nation. The region is home to approximately one-third of Florida's combined population of more than 5.5 million citizens. South Florida has the third largest consular corps in the United States, with approximately 70 consulates and 25 foreign trade offices from the major countries in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as Europe and Asia. Approximately 60% of the population is in the prime working ages. The region's strong tourism industry and seasonal residents help fuel the market, providing solid demand and strong consumer spending. South Florida is also the base for a large number of corporate headquarters and major operations, including: American Express, AutoNation, Motorola, Carnival, Templeton, Ford, Office Depot, Ryder, Citrix & others.
The South Florida office market consists of more than 222 million square feet (msf) of space. Numerous corporate headquarters call South Florida home, including two Fortune 1000 companies and 10 companies with revenues in excess of $1 billion. Historically, South Florida's tenant mix differs from the rest of the nation. Compared to the national average, the tri-county area has a notably higher percentage of medical and legal tenants.
The South Florida retail market consists of more than 311 msf of space. Tourism plays a crucial role in keeping the retail market afloat. The tourism industry has an economic impact of $57 billion in Florida. As shopping patterns evolve, the retail market moves ahead due in part to technology and growing infrastructure for local and foreign consumer demand.
The South Florida industrial market consists of more than 416 msf of space. There are several factors that drive the region's industrial sector. The Miami International Airport serves approximately 35 million passengers per year, and the Port of Miami has an annual economic impact in Miami of about $18 billion. About 40% of all U.S. exports to Latin and South America pass through Florida.
With its proximity to Latin America, South Florida serves as the headquarters for more than 1,400 multinational Latin American operations (which add up to more than $221 billion in annual revenues) including corporations such as AIG, American Airlines, Cisco, Disney, Exxon, FedEx, HP, Kraft Foods, Microsoft, Oracle, SBC Communications, Sony, Visa, and Wal-Mart. With such a strong international presence and a healthy forecasted recovery, South Florida is a market that is positioned well for investors.
Avison Young opened its South Florida offices in 2012 with 30 members joining from Flagler Real Estate Services. In June 2013, Avison Young acquired WGCompass, a West Palm Beach-based retail and office brokerage and property manager with client relationships across the state of Florida, adding 25 members to the Avison Young South Florida team. In December 2014, Avison Young acquired Abood Wood Fay Real Estate Group, LLC formerly known as Colliers International South Florida. Led by Donna Abood and Michael T. Fay their team has vast experience in Landlord Representation, Tenant Representation, Capital Markets and Property Management with relationships across the country. Avison Young's South Florida operations now have 112 members and provide best-in-class services to local, national and international clients while also networking with the firm's other offices across the U.S. and Canada.

But fear not - there is plenty to explore...Shop all Mammut Shop sale Mammut
The Mammut Cartridge Refill Kit includes the gasket and cover plate (3 of each) that must be replaced each time an R.A.S. cartridge is refilled.
Airbag Functionality The effectiveness of the airbag is based on the "Principle of Inverse Segregation." In an avalanche, smaller moving particles gravitate toward the bottom of the slide while larger ones rise to the surface. The inflated airbag allows the wearer to become one of the larger particles. When the release handle is pulled, the airbag inflates within 3 seconds, and the shape of the bag also protects the wearer's head and neck from impact.
Mammut R.A.S. (Removable Airbag System) The user can install or remove the airbag system as required, moving it between compatible R.A.S. system packs. The cartridge is shipped empty and can be filled at most dive shops or paintball shops in the US and Canada that offer 207 bar/3000 psi dry air and have a standard paintball fitting.
Snowpulse Inflation System 2.0 The new System 2.0 is only compatible with newer Snowpulse R.A.S. units and is NOT compatible with older Snowpulse LifeBag packs.
R.A.S. cartridge and compatible backpack(s) must be purchased separately
Warning Wearing an airbag backpack is no guarantee of survival in an avalanche. Backcountry travelers are highly advised to educate themselves in snow stability assessment, route finding, and companion rescue and carry all of the conventional avalanche gear in addition to the airbag.

PHP files hacked… Random websites…
This morning, I noticed my site was down. I got a blank white screen for both the frontpage and the wp-admin.
I noticed that my config.php file had a bunch of random websites at the bottom of the file. I reverted to an older config.php from a backup and the front end of the site is now available, but the wp-admin page is still not available.
As I went through, I noticed that a number of the .php files ( had the same random websites on the bottom of the files. Is there a good way to find and fix each one, or should I consider reverting from a backup from before the problems occured?

One of the things that I've loved about football is its relative lack of political correctness. You run, you hit, you tackle, you have fun. Nothing sissified about this game, no sir.
(Well, except when it comes to protecting certain wusses (*coughDonnaMcNabbTerriOwenscough*), but we won't talk about that right now.)
But that phenomonon that one of my old friends called "creeping liberalism" is starting to
worm work worm its way into the game…particularly the college variety. Which is where we find ourselves as we kick off this week's PFW.
You already know how the NCAA tried to stick its nose into Florida State's business where it didn't belong, and how Florida State's subsequent threat to sue the Hell out of them caused the NCAA to cave in. (The No Cojones Asinine Asshelmets decided after that to pick on someone who might not have the resources to fight back – namely, the University of North Dakota. We'll see how that one goes, won't we? Can someone say "equal protection"? Sure you can…)
Anyway, Saturday comes the annual football war between the Oklahoma Sooners and the (*hack, spit*) Texas Shorthorns (*hack, spit*).
(Memo to TU'ers everywhere: This ain't personal. I just despise Mack Brown – he's a fucking outsider who's never won anything substantial in his career. Granted, he replaced the offensive snoozefestmeister Fred Akers, but then Akers never should've been there in the first place. Anyway, get rid of Mack Brown, go tell Tom-ass Hicks to go eff himself, and all will be forgiven.)
For the last few years, this game has been officially known as the Red River Shootout. (Those of us with ages approaching that of dirt remember it simply as OU-Texas or Texas-OU, depending on one's allegiances.)
But apparently the term "shootout" is a little too violent for the pansy-assed, limp-wristed wussy-types who seem to have gained control over the promotion of the game. It's now going to be called the (*hack, spit*) Red River Rivalry (*hack, spit*).
You heard right, Sportz Fanz. The Red River Rivalry.
This is the best they could come up with? A namby-pamby, non-threatening, non-violent, pussified boring name like Red River Rivalry?????
Memo to the fuckhead(s) who came up with this one: A rivalry, if you'd bother to look up the definition, encompasses – in the cases of colleges who participate in more than one sport – more than just one game in a given sport. OU and Texas are more than just rivals in football – they're in the same conference, so that means they're rivals in basketball, baseball, soccer, track, badminton, tiddlywinks…you name it, they're rivals therein.
This is one game. One freakin' solitary game. You dumbasses have taken the pageantry, the atmosphere, the abject hatred each school has for the other and gone and weakened it by giving it a pussified name like "Red River Rivalry".
Fuck each and every one of you up the ass, and the Yugo you rode in on.
Awright, that said – let's get to the game and crank up the PFW, shall we? The 100th installment of OU-Texas starts at noon Saturday in the Cotton Bowl, and TU is heavily favored. And, based on this year's performance, the Shorthorns have every right to be. They're the number-two ranked team in the country, and they're going up against a group that couldn't beat the motley crew that gave the SMU
T Shitland Ponies their only victory.
(UPDATE: The Shitland Ponies have just beaten UAB. UAB, how the Hell did you let that happen???)
TU has possibly the nation's best quarterback in Vince Young, while the Sooners are starting a freshman who didn't even begin the season as the starter.
All that said, OU generally reserves some of its best games for TU, so we'll see. But it won't surprise me if Little Mackie Brown finally breaks through against Bob Stoops in a big way tomorrow.
Also tomorrow, my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets draw the short straw as far as scheduled games go (honestly, if you're in high school, you want to be playing Friday night – not Saturday afternoon at 3:00 when you could be watching OU-Texas) when they take on the Dunbar Wildcats. Dunbar is a high-powered team that's nationally respected and feared.
In basketball.
Memo to Duke Christian: You've already lost one district game – that had best be the extent of it.
And the TUC…uh, TCU…Horned Frogs find out just how much of a chance they have at a Mountain West Conference championship tomorrow afternoon when they take on the Wyoming Cowboys up in Laramie. TCU's been decent thus far, but this game scares me to death. They lost their season opener to Florida, and have not lost since, with three of their four wins coming in rather convincing fashion. Give me TCU and 10 points – and even that might not be enough.
Number 11 LSU (there…that's more like it) travels to Vanderbilt for an evening game – and while Vandy will put up a fight, I think LSU has too much for them.
Sunday, The World's Greatest Quarterback Ever In The History Of Ever, Ever, Donna McPansyass and his half-assed sister Little Terri Owens come to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. As usual, the 'Boys won't be able to get to Donna because his line holds on every fucking play, and should they be lucky enough to lay so much as a finger on either Donna or Terri, the NFL will find a way to outlaw the technique used next season. That fat honkin' Campbell's-soup-hawkin' mommy of Donna's will bleat and squeal about it until they do.
(We're still waiting, of course, for the NFL to take action against the Beagles for driving Michael Irvin's noggin into the Veterans Stadium concrete and ending his career. But don't so much as breathe on Terri Owens – that's a flag and a fine. Isn't it, Paul Tagliabue, you goat-felching dickweed?)
Can you tell I'm not real crazy about my chances for a PFW this weekend?
Back Monday for the recap. In the meantime, let the virtual tailgating begin!

Sens. Jon Tester, David Vitter Named NAMIC's Federal Legislators of the Year
GRAPEVINE, Texas (Sept. 19, 2012) The National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) announced at its annual convention in Grapevine, Texas, that Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and David Vitter, R-La., have been named Federal Legislators of the Year for 2012.
"Senators Tester and Vitter played a leading role in helping ensure that millions of Americans will have access to flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, without putting the taxpayers at additional risk," said Charles M. Chamness, NAMIC president and CEO. "In these contentious times, they have shown that bipartisanship is still possible on big issues."
Passage of flood insurance reform marks one of the very few bipartisan accomplishments in this sharply divided Congress and signifies a major victory for NAMIC and the industry. Vitter and Tester worked across party lines to build support for flood reform, all the while ensuring that a harmful lapse in NFIP authorization did not occur. Together, the two co-authored a letter calling for a long overdue vote on NFIP reform legislation, which was supported by 41 senators.
"For years, the NFIP was held hostage to partisan politics and personal agendas, creating uncertainty for the housing market and the broader economy," said Jimi Grande, NAMIC's senior vice president of Federal and Political Affairs. "Thanks to the leadership and hard work of Senators Tester and Vitter, American homeowners will have the certainty of knowing the NFIP will be there when they need it."
Each year, NAMIC selects a federal lawmaker who has been a leader on the issues of great importance to the insurance industry as Legislator of the Year. This year, Tester and Vitter have both earned the distinction in their work together to reform and reauthorize the NFIP. "Together, they showed that this issue is not about one party, or one part of the country," Chamness said.

Ohio State is powerful. To deny this is to deny the blue in the sky, the fluidity of water.
The choices we make as both students and a university — be they as seemingly small as vending options or as large and impactful as energy policy — make an undeniable, unquestioned splash. We make waves here at OSU. We set precedents.
Bearing that in mind, why not lead the charge in one of the most fundamental, societally salient fields? In something as simple yet essential as food? For while yes, the university indeed offers some healthy options at their various on-campus venues, there remains one notable void: campus C-Stores.
As one walks into the North Commons C-Store, he or she is met by a seeming dichotomy — the small space is brimming with brightly packaged, ever-familiar brands. Oreos and Reese's Puffs, Campbell's Soup and Ramen Noodles. But despite slight differences in taste and appearance, many of these foods are in essence the same: simply clever concoctions of corn and soy, veiled by words like "dextrose" and "dextrin."
To their credit, C-stores do offer healthy and diet-accommodating options: meal bars, select trail mixes and Greek yogurt, among others. But herein ultimately lies the issue, these options are just that — options. They are the minority: a school of fish in a sea of fat, sugar and highly processed, obesity- and disease-linked foods.
When I walked into the North Commons C-Store on an ordinary Saturday afternoon, I counted 63 options for candy, 48 for chips, and two for produce: strawberries and those small, pre-packaged party trays of grapes, cheese, cauliflower, etc. I don't claim to be an expert, but when number of Chex Mix variants alone surpasses that of fruits, something needs to be done.
From my vantage point as an on-campus resident and meal-plan adherent, this in no way, shape or form encourages healthy eating. Quite the opposite. With superfluous, end-of-the-semester blocks a reality for many, myself included, I want at least a greater choice. I don't want certain products (and by effect, certain environmentally-degrading, health-damaging industries) forced on me.
And I'm not alone. In a recent survey conducted by the Local Matters Student Ambassadors, which aim to raise support for local issues, nearly 36 percent of surveyed students were either "unsatisfied" or "very unsatisfied" with the variety of food in campus C-Stores (survey conducted on nearly 200 students). Many also expressed a desire for whole, unprocessed foods like "almonds," "eggs," "whole wheat bread" and "single serve frozen veggies" to join the ranks of current C-Store products.
The demand exists. It's simply untapped.
And while I understand that OSU has scores of private, revenue- and opportunity-generating contracts with conglomerates like Coca-Cola, I also understand the need for balance: the need for produce to outnumber candy — not the other way around.
So what, ultimately, is the importance of cutting the crap from — or at least increasing the options on — C-store shelves? What is the benefit of this greater parity?
In doing so, we further not only the health and well-being of our campus community, but also that of society: We decrease our affair with those highly subsidized soy- and corn- giants and all the while increase demand for whole, healthy foods — foods fraught not with chemicals, nor with environmental and public health consequences.
We make a small, albeit essential, step.

Nokia N900 PreviewNokia N900
Our is now published - click here to read it.
First, we would like to tell you more about Maemo. This is a Linux-based operating system that powersall Nokia internettablets. The N900 runs the latest version that brings forth many improvementsover the previous generations. Despite the presence of a built-in accelerometer, the interface switches its orientation to portrait only when you use the telephone functions and remains in landscape mode in all other cases. Nokia promises Ovi Store is coming to Maemo soon, so we should be able to see a growing number of applications hit the marketplace and provide richer OS functionality.
Compared to its previous version, the home screen now consists of 4 separate pages, much like on Android-powered devices. They all feature their own wallpapers, although you can turn off three of them if you don't like the idea. They all host widgets and shortcuts to phone contacts, applications or web pages and you arrange them to your liking. This actually means you can have quick access to all major functions of the device and never open the main menu. The options relating to all applications and submenus are called up by pressing the upper middle part of the screen.
One of the functions of the N900 that Nokia just keeps talking about is multitasking. A single press of the button in the upper left corner shows all applications running in the background (and if none are active, the main menu is called up instead). They get visualized as a grid of images that change in real time. We have to admit that switching between them is as easy as ABC and we are extremely impressed by the multitasking function of Maemo 5.
Now, this is what the Nokia N900 is all about. The device is equipped with own Maemo browser based the Mozilla technology and sports full Adobe Flash 9.4 support.
Web pages get visualized just like they do on normal computer screens and are automatically downsized to fit the display. When this happens, you will typically need to zoom in to be able to read the text more easily. This can be done by double-tapping the screen or making a circular motion clockwise, with a counter-clockwise gesture assigned to the zoom out function. This reminds of the HTC Touch, because you make the same motions to do the same things when browsing pictures only. The Flash support is smashing – all Flash elements get properly visualized without a hitch, even the video players on websites like Viddler.com and Vimeo.com, games on Facebook (say Mafia Wars), our own 360-degree views and we must say the latter are heavy indeed. We are most impressed, so fingers crossed the retail N900 will perform just as well and why not even better. Well done, Nokia! We wish all smartphones had such a browser…
We have already mentioned the Nokia N900 sports a built-in GSM module that will allow you to use the device as a normal cell phone. This is good news indeed. On one hand, carriers will just love to sell you one on a contract and at a subsidized price. On the other, the device will let you take full advantage of the services that your telecom offers. Moreover, you get VoIP functionality and the interface itself sports built-in support for Skype, GoogleTalk, Ovi, Jabber and SIP. You just need to enter your username and password and the N900 will connect to the services automatically, adding your online buddies to the phone contacts. Once you´ve done that, you will be able to see the online status of your friends in the phonebook.
If you decide to give someone a ring and once the virtual keyboard has popped up on screen, you will be able to choose whether to use a VoIP service or make the call over the cellular network. Similarly to the Nokia N97, you accept and reject calls by using one of the two screen sliders.
E-mail client:
Setting up your accounts in the email client of the N900 is relatively easy, because the whole process is automated, at least in case you´ve signed up with a major service provider. To make up for it, once you´re registered with Nokia Messaging and entered the details about your email accounts (up to 10), the N900 will automatically set everything up for you. When you finish composing a message, you can choose the account to send it from. This comes in really handy, because you don't have to switch between mailboxes. Finally, the application settings allow you to set automated retrieval times for each email account.

And I disagree with whoever made that comment about Maemo 5 being what Symbian should have been. At least Symbian can be used in portrait orientation and it has MMS capability built into it, and at least with Symbian I have my hardware call send and end buttons, and how about my music equalizer I can custom adjust, or any equalizer at all?? No voice dialing, and a lack of multiple customizable profiles either with this. If a Maemo device doesn't have any of that, thanks but no thanks. I'll take Symbian any day and deal with the average multitasking ability and it's decent web browser. Add all that, and you've got a winner in terms of software.

I think Window Mobile & Android can beat Symbian flat!!! Many cell phone manufacturer is avoiding Symbian and go to Window Mobile & Android specially Sony Ericssson.

Stone Hotel & Hostel, Utrecht, Netherlands
One of the best small's hostels out there, trust me. Great staff, great place, warm and tidy. Only one suggestion: Something that separates the shower from the rest of the bathroom, because the water seemed that it was going out of the bathroom, but in the end everything turned out ok. Oh and they have a really cute-big dog, Lola.. and an acoustic guitar if you want to play to. Seriously. I'm definitely coming back to Stone Hostel :)

A FORMER Wycliffe College student goes on trial today accused of an elaborate plot to blow up Vladimir Putin.
Chechen born Adam Osmayev will appear before a court in Odessa, Ukraine, charged with planning to detonate a home-made bomb next to the Russian president's motorcade in Moscow.
The 31-year-old lived in Britain from 1994 to 2002 and studied for his A-levels at Wycliffe College and economics at the University of Buckingham.
Osmayev denies charges of terrorism and claims that Ukrainian officers beat him, suffocated him with a plastic bag and threatened to hurt his father in order to extract a confession – which he later gave them.
He was arrested in Odessa in January last year after an apparent bomb blast in a rented flat alerted authorities to the use of explosives.
According to the prosecution, Doku Umarov – Russia's most wanted man – tasked Osmayev to prepare a terrorist cell in Odessa for onward travel to Moscow.
Once in the Russian capital the men would blow up three cars filled with explosives in the path of Mr Putin's motorcade some time in spring last year.
Analysts have called the plans fanciful and suggested that the charges were probably fabricated as a pre-election stunt.
News of the apparent assassination plan was aired for the first time on Russian state-controlled television last February, just a few days before the presidential election that returned Mr Putin to the Kremlin.

North Huntingdon officials OK 5-year break on tax payment
The Norwin Towne Square developers could get a tax break for five years from North Huntingdon and the Norwin School District.
The North Huntingdon commissioners unanimously last week approved a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance agreement with Colony Norwin LLC, which plans to renovate the 60-year-old shopping center.
Don Tarosky, a partner in Colony Norwin LLC, said the designation allows him to redevelop the property, which will bring the value up, generating more tax dollars.
"If there is a definition of blight in this township, it's Norwin Towne Square," Tarosky said. "The property over the years has not been well maintained, and we've found, since we've been there, that very little of it is salvageable.
"We've had to basically replace every part of the infrastructure of that shopping center."
The agreement designated Norwin Towne Square as a blighted property and grants 100-percent tax relief on the improved portions of the complex for five years, starting after construction wraps up, when the township issues the final occupancy permits, township manager John Shepherd said.
The commissioners designated the property as a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance zone. It allows Norwin School District officials to grant Colony Norwin LLC the tax abatement, Shepherd said.
The program offers tax abatements to new development and rehabilitation programs.
The Norwin School Board was scheduled to vote on the LERTA designation on Monday. The next step is to get final approval from Westmoreland County, Shepherd said.
Torosky said the complex's framework and flooring are the only parts officials plan to reuse. Crews already replaced the roof, storm-water management and electrical systems, and are going to refinish the parking lot.
Colony Norwin LLC finalized the sale of Norwin Towne Square in June and plans to demolish the shopping center from the former Scozio's Family Supermarket to Sun Capsule Tanning Salon.
The space along Lincoln Way would be used to make room for a new 38,000-square-foot Shop 'n Save grocery store and more parking, Tarosky said.
At the other end of the shopping center, developers plan to demolish from Norwin Barbershop to the vacant storefront next to Pizza Hut and the former Flynn's Tire Center, to make way for Bob Massie Toyota along Malts Lane.
Tarosky said developers plan to open Shop 'n Save and Bob Massie Toyota before the end of 2013.
"We hope, in a year, people will look at Norwin Towne Square and be proud that it's located right in the center of the township," Tarosky said.

back edge of either, period.
...bob beat me to it.
I continue to be amazed at how this rule is basically not even worried about by many (except the top guns) when doing a fairway upshot with a series of run up steps.
And I still have an inner debate about how it's an "advantage" for those who do not worry about it - even in the fairway. I am concluding that there seems to be an advantage to throw, even from the fairway, without worrying about keeping it clean.
To some degree, I am getting a little more natural with my own run up that ends clean, but it's still taking an effort which would be nice to just forget about trying to "be sure." BUt that's not the game.
So, based on my personal effort, I do think it needs to be called (unofficially anyway) on any shot, including on the fairways,..until a person has had a chance to start practicing it. And more officially during tournaments, when playing against people of the same caliber for prizes, reputations like 1st place, or monies..
The unofficial aspect would at least allow a person to look down and see what we are talking about. I mean, I've been playing for a mere 10 years without thinking much about that rule (and many others) along the way! So I know full well you don't just switch to throwing clean, even from the fairway, overnight.
It just seems more and more now-a days, that we are either playing "for" something, like tags or for money, which justifies the added attention to rules. And like i said, I am willing to graciously take what I give.
Judge as ye shall be judged. (Isn't that the saying?)
Since I can remember I have actually always checked where my pivot point was after I threw a fairway shot, especially on holes like 11 up at Blue. When I first read and began to understand this part of the rules I was super paranoid that I would be called on it so I started watching myself. The pivot in the dirt definitely makes it way easier to evaluate where you are landing your plant foot and where it is at the time of the release. I started to slow down my run up for uphill fairway shots, and eventually stopped running up all together. Flat fairways, such as the huge ones that we have at the Fort Zoo course and a couple at Lubrecht, are a different story and I believe they are easier to get a good, legal plant behind your mini for your release.
Now, I, like many have said on here, want to be called on a violation if someone realizes that I have done so, be it a courtesy violation or a foot fault. But, the question is for a lot of us, are we honest enough that we would call a foot fault or other violation on ourselves if noone else realized it? On topic, tonight at the tag round I had about a 12 foot putt for a three on Mirkwood. I straddled, and had a slightly awkward stance because of my left foot being lower on the hill than my right foot. As a putted, I lost a bit of balance and as my putter hit chains I placed my hands on the ground in front of my lie. Being a tag round, and due to the losing light, I didn't call myself. But I kicked myself in the butt for not calling it! If that would have been in a tournament round I would be calling myself the second my hand hit the ground and hoping that someone would second it. I don't know if its been said in this thread yet, but I think one of the problems is a lot of people are afraid that if they call someone on something, that person is going to assume that the said person making the violation call has something in for them, so noone ever does.
I agree with Billy. I wish people would call me on stuff because I know I do things that are against the rules, though I don't always catch it. I wouldn't hold a grudge (unless they were a d!@k about it). I think most players are too scarred to call infractions and I need to be better about it myself, I most always see something I could call during any given round.
I wouldn't hold a grudge. I think most players are too scared to call infractions and I need to be better about it myself, I most always see something I could call during any given round.
It helps to have guys like Christian providing their input on topics like this. To hear from the top golfers in the world here say, "duty bound to call".. means to me that us mortals shouldn't be meek.
On the other hand, to hear it from them that the fairway shot (with no advantage of inches one way or the other), is not looked upon as an infraction worth bothering about, lends some sanity to the rule too. And a little unofficial comment, is okay too.
I expect to give (and take!) warnings with a lot less worry about the "di@k" label either way, as everyone is duty bound.
Enjoyed seeing the run-up footwork of the USDGC final round! Was watching for ANY infraction.. but alas.. all I saw was perfect footwork!

Some federal MPs, including ministers, spent $5.6 million on taxpayer-funded foreign travel between July and December 2012, including study tours that took in Dublin's Guinness plant and Amsterdam's bicycle infrastructure.
As the Greens called for a watchdog on members' spending, Prime Minister
The $5.6 million, most spent by ministers, compares with $3.9 million, $2.7 million and $4.7 million respectively for foreign travel in the corresponding second halves of 2011, 2010 and 2009.
Much of the rest in 2012 was spent when some backbenchers took study tours or travelled in parliamentary delegations overseas. In one case, Labor MP
Greens leader
Mr Abbott confirmed he had repaid expense claims – $1094 and about $600 respectively to attend the weddings of former colleagues
In Bali for APEC, Mr Abbott said he had repaid the money after advice it was unclear whether he was entitled to claim taxpayer funds for the weddings.
"They [MPs] should act within entitlements, they should err on the side of caution and, if there is any doubt, they should act immediately to clear the matter up,'' he said.
Mr Slipper, a former Liberal National Party MP who was forced to quit as Speaker and is now in court over allegations he denies that he incorrectly charged about $1000 to his government Cabcharge card, criticised how other MPs were allowed to simply repay incorrect claims.
AFR analysis of MPs' travel
An analysis of MPs' study tours by The Australian Financial Review found 38 jet-set MPs undertook 45 tours in the second half of 2012, including a $76,493, two-week study tour of Ireland by seven MPs and two of their spouses.
The seven MPs on the Irish trip included the Coalition's
The delegation met Irish MPs and mayors, visited the Trinity University library and toured a Guinness factory.
Nationals MP
Mr Hartsuyker, a cycling enthusiast who has ridden in Pollie Pedal charity events with Mr Abbott, spent two nights in Amsterdam studying cycling infrastructure and reported the city enjoyed "several key advantages with regard to cycling culture including a flat landscape [and] high population density" and said "there are lessons Australians could learn from the Dutch experience, including consideration of relaxing helmet rules".
Queensland LNP MP
Mr Vasta's report contained the "startling fact" that Chinese diners "are expecting more from their dining experience than many of them are currently receiving" and detailed the Chinese government's "phenomenal incentive" to assist small business and consumers on taxation – the inclusion of a scratch-prize ticket on receipts for tax.
"In some cases I had to ask specifically for the receipt as some retailers would give me a generic receipt . . . because of the scratchie, though, I always made sure to ask," he wrote.
Retired Queensland MP Kirsten Livermore's took a $4827, 19-day tour to the US and Canada to study the "trans-shipping operations of Canadian Shipping Lines Ltd", with other parts of the trip cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy. Her detailed itinerary listed just three days of meetings.
Big spender
Former foreign minister
Ms Stephens ($98,237) and the now-retired MP Barry Haase ($91,065) were the biggest-spending backbenchers, far outstripping such then ministers as Tanya Plibersek, Penny Wong and Simon Crean. Mr Abbott spent $65,155 and his deputy
Two MPs, Labor's Steve Georganas and the Coalition's Susan Ley, have not filed travel reports at all, despite a requirement that they report back within 30 days.
Ms Ley's three-day trip to New Zealand in September last year cost taxpayers $1347 but the cost of Mr Georganas's 42-day trip to Germany, Serbia, the UK and Singapore has not yet been recorded.
