Most Windows applications, and probably those on other platforms,
typically enable "paste" functionality only when there is valid data
on the clipboard ("valid" meaning of an appropriate flavor).
Implementing this behavior requires a mechanism through which changes
to the clipboard can be detected. That is when the option should be
enabled or disabled -- when the clipboard contents change. The Java
Clipboard API does not currently support this type of notification,
but it could be added trivially.
I suggest that java.awt.Clipboard be extended to support a set of
listeners (PropertyChangeListener would be adequate) who are notified
when the clipboard contents change. This would be entirely backward
compatible with the existing API and would provide very useful
functionality that is not currently available.

I am not aware of any workaround. I tried a hack using
ClipboardOwnership. The idea was that if I am always the owner
of the clipboard, I will receive a lostOwnership whenever the
contents change. However, it is not generally possible (or good)
to steal ownership when another application is using the

According to the evaluation, we chose the approach based on
data flavors available on a clipboard.
As before, it's simple to implement it for a local
clipboard. In the Clipboard.setContents() we get data
flavors that just have been set, compare them to the
previously set flavors and fire FlavorEvents if necessary.
On Windows the same mechanism of clipboard viewers is used.
On the WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD message we get clipboard data
formats, convert them to the Java data flavors, compare them
to the previous flavors and post a PeerEvent to all app
contexts (if necessary). FlavorEvents are fired on the EDT
of an app context.
On X11 platforms we poll a selection. In order not to start
a new thread, we register a timeout callback. In this
callback we request the section targets. When the selection
targets are obtained, we convert them to the Java data
flavors and so on.
###@###.### 2002-01-18
Name: agR10216 Date: 01/18/2003
Sometimes we may not get formats available on a clipboard.
(Most likely such a situation happens with the Windows
system clipboard if we fail to open it. There may be some
other exceptional conditions.) Anyway, we notify listeners
so as to give a client a chance to determine whether 'paste
option' should be triggered. Thus we send all necessary
notifications but some notifications may be redundant.
###@###.### 2002-01-18
Name: agR10216 Date: 01/22/2003
One should note that prior to thix fix in
Clipboard.setContents() lostOwnership() on the clipboard
owner was called directly there. Now we are to notify flavor
listeners also. If lostOwnership() were called directly
within setContents() and setContents() got called in the
lostOwnership(), the notifications on flavor changes might
be delayed. Almost the same we can say about one of the
flavorsChanged() method of flavor listeners registered on
the clipboard.
The solution is to post requests for invocation of
lostOwnership() and each flavorChanged() method to the EDT.
###@###.### 2003-01-22
Name: agR10216 Date: 01/25/2003
On X11 platforms we request for targets of a selection at
regular intervals quite often (in the timer callback).
Ordinarily to request for selection targets we call and pass
awt_util_getCurrentServerTime() to XtGetSelectionValue().
The call of awt_util_getCurrentServerTime() may block for a
while (on the toolkit therad!) depending on the transmission
speed beetween a client and the X server. Therefore, some
optimization is desired. We suggest changing of
awt_root_shell window property in the timer callback, and
only when we have got an up-to-date timestamp, requesting
for selection targets with that timestamp.
###@###.### 2003-01-25
Name: agR10216 Date: 02/11/2003
Since on X platforms we request for targets of a selection
at regular intervals, we'd better parametrize the interval
between two successive requests for selection targets, at
least for our internal use. Let it be a system property
"awt.datatransfer.clipboard.poll.interval" in milliseconds.
The default poll interval on X platforms is 200 ms.
###@###.### 2003-02-10
Name: agR10216 Date: 02/11/2003
From now lostOwhership() is not called directly from
Clipboard and SunClipboard's setContents(). Instead, a
request for lostOwnership() invocation is posted to the EDT.
The regression tests
assumed that lostOwnership() is called directly in
setContents(). So these tests have been updated to reflect
the current behaviour.

Notifications on clipboard contents changes can be
implemented for a local clipboard and the Windows system
clipboard, but not for selections on Solaris/Linux, since
Xlib does not provide any means for doing that.
To determine whether notifications on contents changes are
supported for the clipboard, the method
Clipboard.areContentsChangeNotificationsSupported() has been
In order to be notified on a clipboard contents changes the
ContentsListener should be added to the clipboard by means
of Clipboard.addContentsListener() method. Also public two
methods for managing listeners were added:
Clipboard.getContentsListeners() and
###@###.### 2002-12-11
Name: agR10216 Date: 12/11/2002
I should mention that first I have tried to implement
notifications on clipboard contents changes using
PropertyChangeListeners. In that case old and new contents
of a clipboard must be passed to listeners.
It is trivial to implement it for a local clipboard.
As for Windows system clipboard, it could be implemented,
but a great care should be taken to synchronize contents
updates (this is not that problematically), also new
clipboard contents can not be reliably retrieved. If some
application opened the system clipboard and did not close
it, an attempt to fetch clipboard contents would fail, and
the failure would manifest in our code, where it could not
be handled properly.
So the decision not to provide clipboard contents directly
to the listeners and to use a new interface for listeners
(java.awt.datatransfer.ContentsListener) and a new class for
events (java.awt.datatransfer.ContentsEvent) was taken.
###@###.### 2002-12-11
Name: agR10216 Date: 01/18/2003
The described above implementation of the feature isn't
really cross-platform: the feature wasn't implemented for
the system clipboard and system selection on X11 platforms.
All that we could do on X11 platforms was polling a
selection, retrieving its contents and comparing that
contents with the previous one. It isn't acceptable since it
is very expensive.
So in order to properly implement this feature on all
supported platforms we decided to redesign the current
implementation. To implement the functionality defined in
the description (enabling/disabling paste option in a Java
application depending on what flavors clipboard data are
available) it's sufficient to track the changes of data
flavors available on the clipboard.
The following new API are to be introduced in the package
a listener interface FlavorListener,
an event FlavorEvent that is delivered to the
FlavorListeners whenever clipboard flavors change,
and the following Clipboard methods:
void Clipboard.addFlavorListener(FlavorListener listener),
void Clipboard.removeFlavorListener(FlavorListener listener),
FlavorListener[] Clipboard.getFlavorListeners().

Reflections of a Zen Buddhist Nun: Essays by Zen Master Kim Iryop
Author: Kim Iryop; Translator: Park, Jin Y.
University of Hawai'i Press, March 2014
The life and work of Kim Iryŏp (1896–1971) bear witness to Korea's encounter with modernity. A prolific writer, Iryŏp reflected on identity and existential loneliness in her poems, short stories, and autobiographical essays. As a pioneering feminist intellectual, she dedicated herself to gender issues and understanding the changing role of women in Korean society. As an influential Buddhist nun, she examined religious teachings and strove to interpret modern human existence through a religious world view. Originally published in Korea when Iryŏp was in her sixties, Reflections of a Zen Buddhist Nun (Ŏnŭ sudoin ŭi hoesang) makes available for the first time in English a rich, intimate, and unfailingly candid source of material with which to understand modern Korea, Korean women, and Korean Buddhism.
Divine Yet Human Epics: Reflections of Poetic Rulers from Ancient Greece and India
Pathak, Shubha.
Washington: Harvard University CHS, 2014.
The central character of Divine Yet Human Epics is the developing conception of epic itself. Its story unfolds as the ancient Greek idea of epic originates with Pindar and Herodotus on the basis of the Iliad and Odyssey. While this notion eventually leads their Sanskrit counterparts, the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata, to be understood selectively in modern times, medieval readers Ānandavardhana and Rājaśekhara reveal distinctive features of these ancient Indian poems earlier in this exegetical tale.

Henry Cimoli and Spenser have been friends for years, yet the old boxing trainer has never asked the private eye for a favor. Until now. A heavy-handed developer is trying to buy up Henry's condo on Revere Beach and sends thugs to move the process along. Soon Spenser and his apprentice, Zebulon Sixkill, find a trail leading to a mysterious and beautiful woman, a megalomaniacal Las Vegas kingpin, and plans to turn to a chunk of land north of Boston into a sprawling casino. Bitter rivals emerge, alliances turn, and the uglier pieces of the Boston political machine look to put an end to Spenser's investigation. Aspiration, greed, and twisted dreams all focus on the old Wonderland dog track where the famous amusement park once fronted the ocean. For Spenser and Z, this simple favor to Henry will become the fight of their lives.

Andrew Bynum practiced with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday for the first time this season, and despite all the optimism it brought, Doug Collins was adamant the center is not even close to returning.
"He looked like a guy who hadn't played in nine months," Collins said. "I don't think any bells and whistles should be sent off that he's close to playing."
Bynum, who has yet to play this season due to his ailing knees, has said he expects to make a comeback at some point. Collins made it clear, however, that any type of return seems to be slipping away.
"It's amazing seeing him standing out there; he distorted the whole practice," Collins said. "You get visions of what might've been ... He's said that he's going to play, but this season is slipping away. We've got 24 games after (this weekend). We're eight (games) under .500, and we've got to play the Miami Heat four times."

The Huron Soil and Water Conservation District submitted a proposal earlier this year under President Obama's Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. In May, the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes National Program Office announced the finalists. The Huron SWCD's $812,000.00 four-year grant proposal, North Central Ohio Sediment Reduction Project, was chosen.
When funded, this grant will provide land users in the 488,610-acre watersheds of the Huron and Vermilion rivers cost share dollars to establish 15,500 acres of cover crops, 10 acres of grassed waterways and 250 acres of filter strips resulting in a reduction in soil erosion and phosphorus loading. These watersheds are more than 48 percent cropland. This grant will provide opportunities to assist land operators who have land that may not meet eligibility criteria of other federal programs. The northwest corner of Ashland County is in the Vermilion River watershed.
An estimated 1.4 tons per acre of soil loss occurs off every field border not protected by grass and about 1.5 tons for every acre not protected by a winter cover crop. Great strides have been made in these watersheds with the adaptation of best management practices, such as precision nutrient management and minimum and no-till. Grassed waterways and water and sediment control basins have been used extensively to control gully erosion. Public funding is not available In many situations because of federal crop history and ownership requirements. Grant funds from this proposal will be used to fill in the gaps left by these federal programs assisting land operators with needed erosion control, including cover crops, grassed waterways and filter strips.
An advisory committee will be developed involving stakeholders in each county. Then applications will be developed and a sign period will take place.
Grants provide our producers economic opportunities with minimal risk. For anyone who lives within the Huron River and or Vermilion River watersheds and would like more information or an application, contact Ashland SWCD at 419-281-7645. The applicants will have the responsibility to make sure this program does not violate other current contracts.

Slaid Cleaves Biography
Richard Slaid Cleaves, 9 June 1964, Berwick, Maine, USA. Cleaves stark vignettes of desperate people are far from the designer country of the new millennium, and his influences are Woody Guthrie (Cleaves put music to his verse, This Morning I Am Born Again) and Hank Williams, for whom he recorded a tribute song, 29.
Cleaves performed in local bands in his home town, but thought he might turn professional after turning to busking to raise some money while studying in Cork, Eire in the mid-80s. He obtained a degree in English and Philosophy but preferred music, working with his brother and drummer, Mark Cousins, in the Moxie Men. They released the live cassettes, The Promise and Looks Good From The Road (later reissued by Rock Bottom Records). In 1991, Cleaves moved to Austin, Texas with his fiancée, Karen, and while there, released two albums of his own songs, Lifes Other Side and For The Brave And Free. In 1992, he won an award as the Best New Folk Songwriter at the Kerrville Folk Festival.
Cleaves first album for Philo Records, No Angel Knows, did well on the Americana charts and he performed European concerts. When not working, he was a subject for medical research into new drugs. His breakthrough album, 2000s Broke Down was, in his own words, songs about hard times, with the title track relating to a couple he knew while playing in Maine. The belated follow-up Wishbones was another fine effort and a more upbeat offering than its predecessor. His compadre, Ray Wylie Hubbard, says of him, Hes a great lyricist because he takes time to make sure that every word counts.

Schools told to get moving on more gym time
WASHINGTON — Reading, writing, arithmetic — and PE?
The prestigious Institute of Medicine is recommending that schools provide opportunities for at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day for students and that PE become a core subject.
The report, released Thursday, says only about half of the nation's youngsters are getting at least an hour of vigorous or moderate-intensity physical activity every day.
Another concern, the report says, is that 44 percent of school administrators report slashing big chunks of time from physical education, arts and recess since the passage of the No Child Left Behind law in 2001 in order to boost classroom time for reading and math.
With childhood obesity on the rise — about 17 percent of children ages 2 through 19 are obese — and kids spending much of the day in the classroom, the chairman of the committee that wrote the report said schools are the best place to help shape up the nation's children.
"Schools for years have been responsible for various health programs such as nutrition, breakfast and lunch, immunizations, screenings," Harold W. Kohl III, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Texas School of Public Health, said.
"Physical activity should be placed alongside those programs to make it a priority for us as a society," he said.
The report calls on the Education Department to recommend that PE be adopted as a core subject.
It says physical education in school is the "only sure opportunity" for youngsters to have access to activity that will help keep them healthy.
The majority of states, about 75 percent, mandate PE, according to the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. But most do not require a specific amount of time for PE in school, and more than half allow exemptions or substitutions, such as marching band, cheerleading and community sports.
Many kids also aren't going to gym class at school every single day. According to the CDC, only about 30 percent of students nationwide attend PE classes five days a week.
PE isn't the sole solution, though.
The report advocates a "whole-of-school" approach where recess and before-and-after-school activities including sports are made accessible to all students to help achieve the 60-minutes-a-day recommendation for physical activity. It could be as simple as having kids walk or bike to school, or finding ways to add a physical component to math and science class lessons.
The report also cautions against taking away recess as a form of punishment, and it urges schools to give students frequent classroom breaks.

Alternate proposals to fill the void left by an absent European Cup have considerably more failings than any imperfections they were dreamt up to fix. Remember that the two main reasons for the current European shambles are a dissatisfaction with the lack of meritocracy, and a skewed distribution of remuneration.
The trajectory of the negotiations that started over a year ago to agree a new accord beyond the current season, is a tale of brinkmanship resulting from the abandonment of meaningful cooperation and a refusal to even contemplate change. Myopia is the common theme here and no group is blameless in this episode.
It's an oft-repeated claim from supporters of the English and French clubs looking to set up their new version of the Heineken Cup that the RaboDirect Pro12 is too weak. What was once the Celtic League (before the addition of the Italian regions), the Pro12 is perceived as being a mere distraction for the top teams.

Elijah's Promise Opens 'Better World Market' in Somerset;
Proceeds Go Toward Fighting Hunger and Poverty
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Better World Market, a new market-café in Somerset operated by Elijah's Promise, offers the community a way to support its efforts to end hunger and poverty while enjoying Jersey produce, locally sourced food items, fresh-baked goods, fresh coffee and grab-and-go meals.
Located at 1743 Route 27 at the corner of Skillman Lane, the Better World Market is a new initiative by the New Brunswick-based nonprofit organization, which uses food as a tool to help break the cycle of poverty, alleviate hunger and change lives. Proceeds from the market will support meals at Elijah's Promise's Community Soup Kitchen while also providing critical job training and employment opportunities through its Promise Culinary School.
The market is open Thursdays and Fridays, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sundays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will operate during the spring, summer and fall months. It features comfortable indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the historic Suydam Farm. A formal grand opening is planned for September.
The Better World Market offers Jersey produce direct from Suydam Farm and other local farmers, handcrafted molé and exotic spice blends from Corazón Kitchen in New Brunswick, gelato, and fresh-brewed coffee from Rojo's Roastery and OQ Coffee Co. Baked goods are freshly made by Better World Bakery, a project of Elijah's Promise and KNEAD Baked Goods, a recent participant on CNBC's reality series "Restaurant Startup." Grab-and-go meals, salads and other meal items are made by Elijah's Promise's Promise Culinary School and Promise Catering. Flowers, cards and other gift items also are available.
"The Better World Market is an exciting new undertaking for Elijah's Promise. It represents one of our core missions – to create businesses for social good," said Jim Zullo, executive director of Elijah's Promise. "By supporting the market, customers are not only supporting local farmers and food purveyors, they are also supporting programs that provide food, culinary training and other services to persons in need in our community."
Since its establishment in 1989, Elijah's Promise has used food as a tool to alleviate hunger, empower lives and invite justice for the most vulnerable members of the Central New Jersey community.
In addition to the Better World Market, Elijah's Promise operates a community soup kitchen at 18 Neilson St., New Brunswick; the Promise Culinary School; Promise Catering, and the "pay-what-you-can" A Better World Café in Highland Park. Elijah's Promise also connects low-income individuals and families with social and health services. With the support of volunteers, donors and community partners, the organization serves more than 100,000 meals per year, trains previously unskilled workers for careers in the food service industry, supports community gardening and offers healthy cooking classes.

This navigation feedback survey will open in a new browser tab.
Start Feedback Survey
On July 22, 2014 City Council approved changes to school and playground zone timing in Calgary and allocated funds to convert all school zones to playground zones.
By transitioning school zones to consistent playground zones, there will no longer be any question as to when motorists are required to slow down. Playground zones are in effect every day, year-round whereas school zones were only in effect on school days.
Having two different designated zones was confusing to motorists who may not be aware of when school is in session. Having only playground zones helps to provide a clear message to motorists, promote uniform motorist behaviour, and increase safety for pedestrians and motorists.
The City consulted with the Calgary Police Service, the Alberta Motor Association, Calgary Board of Education, Calgary Catholic School District and other municipalities in Alberta about the possibility of having the same school and playground zone hours. All groups were supportive of changing the hours to one consistent zone.
They felt the 'one hour after sunset' end time for playground zones was not effective. Depending on the time of year, the end times could be as early as 5:30 p.m. in winter, and as late as 11 p.m. in summer. The unspecified end time made it difficult for motorists to follow the rules.
The new hours (7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.) reflect the times that playground zones are being used by children and other pedestrians, and provide motorists with consistent and specific times that can be easily remembered.
No. Approximately 20 per cent of pedestrian collisions in playground zones occur between 6 and 9 p.m. School may be out at 3:30 p.m. but school gyms, classrooms, and other facilities are often used in the evenings for community sports and extracurricular activities. Also, as days get shorter, it becomes increasingly difficult for motorists to see pedestrians, particularly in the evenings. Slowing down to 30 km/h in playground zones helps everyone stay safe.
It is possible to request a playground zone sign for spaces with City-approved playground equipment. To request a playground zone sign in your area, please use the online service request below.

Day 1:Day 2: Day 3:Day 4:Days 5 & 6:For those of you thinking, 'but aren't there SEVEN days in a week?', why yes, there are, but my day 7 was spent doing the laundry and then cheering on the Blue Knight:(Medieval Times was not as cheesy as I thought it would be - needless to say, the kids loved it...
So, you could say that I failed in the challenge.
Still, I thought that the week of sewing didn't go too badly:
:: Items of clothes made: 5
:: Items of clothes made: 5
:: Fabric bought: only the grey plaid for my son's top, the rest was from the stash
:: Patterns used: none (I'm not getting very far in my resolution to attempt more bought patterns...)
:: Needles broken: one
:: Seam ripper used: about six times?
:: Blood drawn: only the once and it wasn't mine (my husband should have learnt by now that if he kicks over my box of pins, he should look before putting his foot down...)
:: Pins lost: probably hundreds...
:: Loads of laundry needing to be done on day 7: surprisingly, only 2
:: Rooms that now need tidying: let's not go there, shall we?
To be honest, the week didn't go as planned at all. When I signed up, I looked at the calendar and thought that that should be the perfect week for it. Instead, my brother-in-law got into that car accident (he's fine - just a broken hand, but he has a toddler, an 8 year old and a disabled wife to take care of and now needs a new car) and my mother-in-law came into town. So I never knew which days I might be hiding my pins and scissors while babysitting a toddler or which days we'd be having an impromptu family get together. Plus my son then got the 'flu.
So, instead of a week of finally attempting some patterns, I fell back on simple quick things that would usually get finished that same day. Still, I kind of like the way that simple looks.

PLANS to bring Cardiff Airport back into public ownership are too risky, a Liberal Democrat AM has argued.
The Welsh Government is believed to be edging closer to a deal with current owners TBI after the airport was assessed by an independent valuator last week.
First Minister Carwyn Jones has repeatedly stressed the scheme is not a "vanity project'' and its re-nationalisation would safeguard its long-term future.
But South Wales Central AM Eluned Parrott said she cannot make up her mind whether the government's plans were "genius or idiotic''.
She said: "It might be the best thing that the government has done - but the risk to the taxpayer is massive.
Cardiff Airport has seen a decline in passenger numbers in the past five years.
In 2011, passenger numbers had slumped 13% on the previous year to little over 1.2 million - compared with the 5.7 million figure of its nearest rival Bristol Airport.
Last year, First Minister Mr Jones came under fire from opposition parties after sharply criticising the airport and claiming it was not being run properly.
But just before Christmas, his government suddenly announced it was looking to buy the facility.
Lib Dem Miss Parrott said: "I don't really have a problem with the purchase of the airport provided the government knows why they are doing it and they have a clue of what they intend to do.
"At the moment, I have no sense that any of that is true.'' But the Welsh Government has stuck to its guns - saying its plan to buy the airport and then lease it out to a commercial operator would be a good deal.
During his monthly press conference yesterday, First Minister Mr Jones again stressed his government would not subsidise any losses that the government made.
And he balked at claims that a business case should be finished before the due diligence process came to an end - saying the Lib Dems did not have a clue about how big business deals were conducted.

Gainesville's Pascual a member of Ga. agency earning national award
Gainesville native Danielle Pascual was a member of the Georgia Department of Economic Development staff that has received the President's "E Star" Award, the nation's highest honor for excellence in providing export programs and services.
GDED is the first export service provider to ever receive a second "E Star" Award.
The department is one of only four organizations to receive the award for export service for 2014. The "E Star" award was presented Wednesday to the agency's International Trade Division at the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington.
"The President's 'E' Award winners are fantastic American businesses and organizations that have played a crucial role in strengthening and growing our economy through increased U.S. exports," Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker said. "Congratulations to the Georgia Department of Economic Development for its export achievement, which helps the local community, Georgia and the nation remain competitive in the global marketplace."
Pascual serves as International Trade Promotions Manager at GDED, and works to promote Georgia businesses at international and domestic trade events.
"I am incredibly proud to work with an outstanding export program," she said. "Georgia is setting the bar in terms of export service assistance and this national recognition only reinforces those efforts."

Johannesburg - Radovan Krejcir's legal costs are rising this week, with three applications at two high courts, one of which has already failed and cost him a large sum of cash.
Two of the applications are focused on getting him out of isolation in prison.
On Tuesday, Krejcir's legal team applied to have large portions of the South African Revenue Service case against him deemed inadmissible, trying to prevent a preservation order that would allow the taxman to seize all assets even tangentially linked to him.
The order's founding affidavit by Sars group executive in charge of enforcement investigations, Johann van Loggerenberg, lists numerous details on Krejcir's past crimes and background that could prove damning in both the criminal and civil cases against him.
Krejcir's lawyer, Annelene van den Heever, told the Pretoria High Court that Sars had created this statement based on hearsay and unreliable evidence, and had also illegally published details that were revealed in Krejcir's refugee board application to gain asylum in South Africa.
Krejcir is applying for refugee status following alleged persecution in the Czech Republic.
But Van Loggerenberg's report reveals that the asylum application was handed over to Sars, which Van den Heever argued was illegal. In addition, she said the fact that Krejcir's finances had been disclosed in court – and Van Loggerenberg's report – violated the Tax Administration Act.
She also argued that Krejcir's character and actions in the Czech Republic had no bearing on Sars's case against him now. Van den Heever said that being questioned on these allegations under oath could incriminate him in the criminal case against him.
But Sars's lawyer, Nick Maritz, argued that Krejcir's background was the core of the case against him.
The court ruled against Krejcir, saying an application to remove such key facts was premature, and even frivolous.
Krejcir was ordered to pay the costs of Sars's attorneys.
On May 22, the preservation order will be argued in court, to allow Sars to seize assets belonging – in name – to all of Krejcir's associates, including assets allegedly linked to Glenn Agliotti. These assets would then be sold to cover Krejcir's back-taxes.
Van Loggerenberg's affidavit also plays a key factor in Krejcir's new attempts to receive bail for the criminal case against him at the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court. Krejcir was arrested in November on attempted murder and kidnapping charges, along with four others, including three Hawks investigators, who allegedly assisted in the plot.
Judgment was reserved.
And in a third application, set for Friday, The Star has learnt that Krejcir will be applying at the Pretoria High Court for a transfer from his prison cell in Pretoria to a medical facility.

Warranty replacements reportedly on hold for the T-Mobile G2x until Gingerbread update
0. phoneArena posted on 06 Jul 2011, 09:51
The T-Mobile G2x, full of so much promise until it was launched, has so many current problems that anonymous sources for Android Community say that the carrier will no longer offer a warranty replacement unit to replace a model that has the known problems with the phone...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. derp (unregistered)
Umm...those are the same issues that pretty much all android devices suffer from. Especially Motorola phones. Nothing more awesome than opening 3 different phones of the same model in a store and all having power cycling issues within minutes of powering on for the first time. Way to go Motorola Droid 2! Thats quality right there.
2. matty1323 (unregistered)
Why would anyone who went out into the dual core market for the LG take a mt4g as a replacement and not a sensation!?!
3. odemata (unregistered)
I have one and I'm tired of resting the phone. I can't wait for this supposed update. This phone, though I like it, has been a frustrating to own. I was thinking about going for the htc jump off that just came out but since the rumors of another nexus I think i'll wait. Lesson learned here folks, don't buy a phone at launch. wait at least 3 months
4. fatleoz (unregistered)
wait 3months? why pay for tech that's 3months old?
5. jay (unregistered)
I love my G2x have it rooted and bloatware removed. It performs so well that no other phone out in the market can beat its performance. Battery is fantastic and runs like a beast, never slows down. For those that are having issues gingerbread shall help but please root and remove bloatware and you also shall see what I'm talking about..

Lol, this is why you get an iPhone. Least you want have to worry about Android acting buggy as usual.

exactly. +1
11. NOTiPhone Fanboy but... (unregistered)
Can't tell you how upset we are with this crap phone. Waited all this time for a dual core phone when I should have waited for the unlocked iPhone and bought that new. I had unlocked 2 iPhone 3g's for my wife but had issues with text messages so decided on this crap going forward. Not only does it crash but ours has trouble playing video back and the blue tooth does not work all the time. I hope Android can me a run here but after this experience, its pushing me to what I consider the dark side.

can i update my g2x to gingerbread............after rooting
13. zachalak (unregistered)
yes you can update to gingerbread after rooting. just use the cyanogenmod7.http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wi

Of course that is the unlocked international version, not the AT&T device. We are certain that developers around the globe were pretty stocked when it dropped though. Today we have a little bit more news that might perk you guys a bit. Samsung has recently released the kernel source for ICS on the Note.

I'm very fitness oriented and athletic. Nothing beats a good workout. I try to eat generally healthy, but I'm not a health food fanatic by any means.
I love movies, and can usually be found watching at least one or two a week, conversely I rarely watch any TV.
I sometimes nerd out and play computer games.
Generally I prefer to keep things fairly low-key. When I go out, I enjoy going to a restaurant/bar with some friends to watch a football, basketball game or some fight event like boxing or UFC. I also enjoy plays or performances. If I had someone to join me to more events, I would be out a lot more (hint hint).
Lately, I've also been hosting some board game nights with some friends. I like to find interesting games with lots of strategy. They usually involve opponent crushing, city building, and laughing.
My friends and I can often be caught up in involved conversations. Even though I don't consider myself an expert on any certain topic, I enjoy a variety of topics ranging anything from current events, religion, politics, art, or analyzing an artistic movie.
I'm also a fan of sci-fi and horror, although I'm picky with these because it's hard to pull off well. I also love a good documentary or nature show.
I like metal and a bit of house(techno) music, and then when you combine them, you get industrial metal, which is the best! Orchestral scores are also interesting.
I love reading a good book, but I don't read as often as I should. If I could find better authors, I might read more often.
I love to think about how things work they way they do. I get this from my Dad. He usually can deduce the reason why things are the way they are. So I like to step back and think about the logical reason to why things work the way they do.

Dear Wendy: "How Can I Gently Dump My Boyfriend?"
It's time again for "Shortcuts," wherein I answer readers' letters in two sentences or less. Sometimes the answer to a person's question is so obvious and the need to hear it so great, being as clear and frank as possible is simply the best way to go. Today we discuss ending dead-end relationships and how to scare a guy off in three easy steps.
I have been seeing a former high school classmate for about a month and a half. We live two hours apart from one another and have lives and jobs in our mutual towns and have been spending nearly every weekend together, but to be honest, he is way more into our relationship than I am. The next three weeks are busy for me as I'm moving in with a roommate, have commitments with my job, and won't be able to see him, and I don't feel the least bit bad about that. He is ready to introduce me to his entire extended family, but I am actually looking for the exit as the distance isn't working for me. I feel like my life stops when he comes to visit or I go visit him and I sacrifice things I want to do on my weekends to be with him. How can I end this really new relationship gently? — Fizzled Out
"I've had fun hanging out with you these last few weeks, but with all the commitments in my life right now, I'm realizing I just don't have the time or energy for a long-distance relationship. Thanks for understanding."
I'm engaged to be married to the most wonderful guy I've ever known. He's sexy, sensitive, genuine and smart. He works hard, has a great sense of humor and is confident, physically fit and well-endowed. My parents love him, my brothers adore him and my friends idolize him. Unfortunately, I resent everything about being with him: I don't enjoy the sex (I fantasize about everything but him); I can't wear heels because he's so short; I can't spend money like I used to; I'm putting school and friends on hold and I feel awful about everything I do. I'm being blamed for our financial situation, and although we both work, I work longer hours than he does but never have an extra penny. I'm 24. I want to do a lot of things with my life. I want his dreams about being successful to come true, but I don't want to wait around for someone who has no idea what he's doing. There are a lot of things wrong with our relationship, and I don't think I can keep pretending that everything is okay, but I've tried to break up with him twice. He cries and I cry and then we move on. I can't live like this. Help! — Reluctant Bride
A few tears now is NOTHING compared to the years of misery you'll be suffering through if you get married and continue this charade of a relationship. The right choice isn't always the easy choice and as hard as it is going to feel, the best thing you can do for yourself and your fiancé is to break up for good so you both have a shot at genuine happiness with someone you're better matched with.
I'm a 26 year-old single woman and a little over a week ago, I went on a date with a guy I connected with on OKCupid. The first date was flawless and I instantly felt like he could be "the one." In the days following our date, we continued talking and the feeling of butterflies was mutual. But two days before our second date, he canceled, saying he had a work commitment. He made no mention of rescheduling. Instantly, my defenses went up, and I foolishly deleted him from my Facebook. I assumed he wasn't interested and my defense mechanisms kicked in. Shortly after I did this, he texted me about how badly he felt and wanted to reschedule. I knew I had to come clean, which I did, and apologized. I could tell he was thrown for a loop, but he claimed everything was status quo. I texted him the next day, twice, and got no response. Convinced that I had screwed up a good thing, I went out with my girls the following night and got totally hammered. I mean, blacked-out drunk. When I got home, I took to Facebook, again, and sent him an emotionally slutty message in which I further put my feelings out there. The message was along the lines of "I've never sparked with a guy like you before." He sent me a pic of himself via text the next day, and I discovered he hadn't read the Facebook fail message. And he also claimed he never received my texts. I texted him the next day after I was sure that he read it and explained that I was intoxicated, but I didn't regret anything I said. Again, he claimed everything was fine. It is now two days later, and I haven't heard anything from him. I vowed not to text/call anymore to avoid looking clingy. Wendy, have I totally messed up a good thing? Is there any turning back/fixing this situation? Should I, dare I say, text him again? — Keeping a close watch on this heart of mine
Yes, you messed up, but whether it was a "good thing" or not is certainly debatable. Resist texting him again and in the future slowwwww down and wait more than one date before you start imagining you've met "the one."
For everyone, let this be a lesson to you: do not drink and Facebook!

The Swede is full of admiration for the atmosphere at Celtic Park and has hinted that he could move to Glasgow before he retires
The Scottish club was the home of the 32-year-old's fellow Swede Henrik Larsson and the former AC Milan striker has voiced his admiration for the famous atmosphere at Parkhead.
"Celtic is a club with a big tradition and a place any top player would want to end their career," he is quoted as saying by the Scottish Sun.
"How could I say I wouldn't want to play for those fans every week?
"Henrik was good enough to play for any team in Europe. But after playing at Celtic Park it is easy to understand why he chose to stay there for so long."
Responding to the link, Celtic boss Neil Lennon jovially told BBC Sport: "He'd have to play well to get in our team.
"It's one of those stories - I don't know how true it is - but it would be wonderful if we could get that type of player to the club.
"I think that's a long way off yet."
Ibrahimovic has scored 15 goals in 18 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG this season.

3 controversies overshadow One Drop satellites
As thrilling as the 96-player, $25,300 buy-in, Mega-Satellite to the Big One for One Drop tournament that was held at the Rio was, the real story coming out of the event was the obvious chip-dump during heads-up play between Gus Hansen and Shaun Deeb (there would also be a mini-controversy revolving around the method Deeb was paid). Even more amazing could be the Aria satellite into the One Drop tournament, that saw Phil Hellmuth (who wasn't even an entrant in the tournament as far as I can tell) be awarded the seat that the MGM Corp. had purchased. In this column I'll take a look at all three of these controversies.
Shaun Deeb chip-dumps to Gus Hansen
Deal-making in poker is nothing new, and nothing out of the ordinary, but typically (unless it's allowed by the tournament organizers) these deals happen behind the scenes and the people involved tend to hide the deal from the general public. This WASN'T the case on Saturday night when Shaun Deeb and Gus Hansen played heads-up for a Big One for One Drop seat (worth $1,000,000) while the second-place would ostensibly receive $1,000,000 in cash.
It was obvious Gus wanted the seat and Deeb wanted the cash, which is why when Deeb raised over 3 million pre-flop (leaving himself with a single 5,000 chip) and then folded to Hansen's all-in flop bet we knew the two had cut a deal.
While some people have cried foul, it's hard to fault the two based on the fairly silly structure of the satellite that didn't take into account that more than one seat may be on the line (the second-place finisher would see his seat in One Drop moved to the bottom of the alternate list). While the two could have been a bit more coy about it, in the end everyone got what they wanted and nobody was hurt.
Shaun Deeb paid in Tournament Lammers
An interesting, and somewhat amusing, sidebar to the satellite was the way that the Rio decided to pay Shaun Deeb his $1,000,000 second-place prize. Since it was a satellite victory that technically awarded a seat into a larger tournament (albeit for $1,000,000) the Rio attempted to pay Shaun Deeb in tournament lammers, which are basically Rio-Bucks players can use to buy into tournaments –think Disney Dollars but only good for tournament buy-ins at Harrah's properties.
In the end the Rio allowed Deeb to cash in his lammers for the $1,000,000 payday.
Phil Hellmuth "wins" Aria Satellite to One Drop
We now know why Phil Hellmuth never registered for the Big One for One Drop, as it seems the Poker Brat was handpicked months ago to represent the Aria in the tournament. The Aria (part of the MGM Corp) held an invitation only satellite to the One Drop tournament that would see one player win the seat, but multiple players win pieces of the action on that player. In the end the participants decided on Phil Hellmuth to represent them in One Drop –which seems to indicate that this decision was premeditated.

Feds' OK of Arkansas Medicaid plan gives hope to Corbett's Pennsylvania proposal
HARRISBURG — The government's approval for Arkansas to use Medicaid funding to buy private insurance for the poor gives Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's aides hope that the Department of Health and Human Services will approve his similar plan.
"We're encouraged by HHS' approval of Arkansas' plan and hope it's an indication that the federal government is willing to work more closely with states to develop solutions that work at the local level, versus a one-size-fits-all approach," said Christine Cronkright, a spokeswoman for Corbett.
The agency last week approved Arkansas' request to implement the "private option" plan instead of expanding Medicaid enrollment. Corbett made his request two weeks ago.
Supporters of the 2010 Affordable Care Act point to Arkansas as a Republican-trending state implementing a key part of the law.
But Elizabeth Stelle, a policy analyst with the Commonwealth Foundation in Harrisburg, said Pennsylvania's proposal tries to promote accountability with "a work search requirement and co-payments on a sliding scale."
Those factors could lead to hurdles for the plan, said Sharon Ward, director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
The work requirement is one piece of the plan that aides continue to discuss with HHS, Cronkright said.

How to make perfect compost
Recycling garden waste is good for your garden and the environment. It is also a very satisfying process as you'll have the last laugh on all those pesky weeds.
How to do it
Making compost is really very easy, but for reliable results you need to understand the principles behind the process so that you can manage it effectively. In essence, making compost is like making a cake: you have to have the right equipment, the right ingredients (in measured amounts), then add water and mix thoroughly before 'cooking'. The soil-borne micro-organisms will then do all the hard work for you. For a well-done compost, 'cooking' can take anything from a few months to a year, depending on the material you use, the time of year you start (the process is faster in warmer weather) and the sort of compost you want at the end of the process.
- What do you need? You need a bin, a variety of organic waste materials and a little patience.
- What size bin? A bin will keep the material neat and tidy and help retain moisture and heat. Choose one to suit the size of your garden, but a good size is usually around 1m³, as this will hold enough material to compost efficiently. In a large garden you may need two, three or even more bins to recycle all your waste. Smaller bins can work well, but they do require more careful monitoring to keep the conditions right for decomposition. If your garden and household doesn't produce sufficient organic waste to fill a bin of this size, you could get together with gardening friends and neighbours to produce a communal composting bin.
- How much waste? Aim to fill your bin as quickly as possible, because the decomposition process won't start in earnest until the bin is full. In practice, this should take about a month.
- What can I compost? To get quick decomposition you need to have the right ingredients in the right proportions. A balanced diet of dry fibrous material (such as shredded prunings, newspapers or straw) should make up at least 50% of the mix, with wet green material (such as grass clippings, discarded bedding, weeds and fresh manure) making up at least 25% but no more than 50%. Try not to let one ingredient dominate the mix, but aim to have a good balance of the different elements.
- Can I add woody prunings? Yes, but all woody material needs to be chopped finely before it is added to the compost bin otherwise it will take longer to decompose than the other ingredients. The easiest way to chop it up is with a garden shredder, but if you have the patience you can get the same results with a pair of secateurs.
- What should I avoid in my compost heap? Meat, fish, thick or thorny prunings, sawdust, glossy magazine paper, plastic-coated cardboard, conifer and other evergreen material, roots of perennial weeds, flowering weeds and dog or cat faeces are all best disposed of elsewhere.
- Why can't I compost these? Processed food products can attract vermin, weed roots and seeds may spread around the garden, sawdust may contain toxins, and some cardboard as well as woody or evergreen material takes too long to rot down.
- What do I need to do after I have filled my bin? Dampen down the ingredients (avoid making it too soggy) and mix them all together. Once a month or so, you will need to 'turn' the compost using a garden fork or compost stirrer. This alleviates compaction and allows air into the compost, both of which will help speed up the process. If the compost looks dry, give it a little more water, but again not too much as you don't want it to become waterlogged.
- How long does it take? Compost started in the autumn can be ready for spring planting, but most people leave their compost heap for a year. In ideal conditions during the summer, the compost bin you filled at the beginning of May will be ready to use by the end of July. The final compost bin filled during midsummer should be ready to use in the autumn.


text: Every year, over 1.7 million workers are exposed to silica dust, a common mineral found in sand and granite, which kills 250 workers from different industries. To curb these tragedies, MySafetySign.com has released new silica dust signs to empower workers and employers to implement simple and effective prevention. Exposure to the dust can cause lung cancer or silicosis, an incurable and deadly lung disease. Legislation to lower silica levels has been stalled for years in the White House. In 2011, OSHA submitted an updated rule limiting exposure to crystalline silica to the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Two years later, the rule, which sources say will cut acceptable silica levels in half, remains delayed. Though workers in mining and construction companies are at the most risk for exposure, many manufacturers oppose the rule, likely due to the increased cost of implementing the tighter regulations, projected at more than $100 million. These new signs help reinforce effective methods of silica prevention. The signs identify areas where breathable silica is present and their slogans promote simple ways of minimizing the harmful dust, like wet sweeping, hand washing, hosing down work areas, and leaving work clothes on site. In a public letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which oversees OIRA, senior Congressional Democrats state: "Modernizing OSHA's crystalline silica standard is a commonsense and necessary improvement to worker safety. Some states have already taken the lead—and demonstrated feasibility—by prohibiting dry cutting/grinding of masonry and cement, or requiring employers to use dust reduction systems. In many cases, protections are as basic as a water hose or spray. It is intolerable that workers are not benefiting from these protections due to roadblocks in the regulatory process."

Clarion woman sentenced in 'business opportunity' scam
A Clarion woman arrested in a national "business opportunity" fraud sweep will spend one year and one day in prison, a Pittsburgh federal judge ruled on Friday.
Pearl Pastilock, 50, pleaded guilty in June to conspiring with L.J. Gubitosa Inc., a Colorado firm that bilked would-be business owners out of tens of thousands of dollars.
Pastilock posed as a successful owner of an energy candy vending machine franchise to persuade others to invest in the unprofitable franchises, prosecutors say.
"I'm sorry," Pastilock told U.S. District Judge David Cercone. "And I'll never let this happen again, ever."
Cercone also sentenced Pastilock to three years of probation and ordered her to pay a share of the $215,000 restitution tied to her conduct.
The company did business as American Vending Systems and promised investors they could make a living off of the profits of vending machines selling energy candy, prosecutors say.
Assistant Federal Public Defender Marketa Sims said Pastilock, who owned and operated an ice cream truck, responded to an ad in a magazine and got roped in as the person calling prospects to encourage them to invest their money.
She argued that Pastilock deserved probation because she immediately cooperated with U.S. Postal Service inspectors who knocked on her door in 2009 and helped them develop the evidence to convict the principal players in Colorado and Texas.
"She made numerous recorded phone calls," she said.
Pastilock made about $25,000 from the scam during three years, Sims said.
Patrick Runkle, a trial lawyer for the Justice Department's Consumer Protection Branch, agreed that Pastilock cooperated, but said she used aliases and lied to persuade 200 to 250 people to invest thousands of dollars in the scam, in some cases their life savings.
"That $25,000 represents a lot of harm to the public," he said.

Doing good legal work isn't what we aspire to - it's where we begin.
Formed in 1999, Levenfeld Pearlstein (LP) was born of the desire to create a different kind of law firm.
Many law firms promote their "value proposition," which they define as: high quality work, responsiveness, efficiency and reasonable fees. To us, those are just the basics of doing good work for clients.
From the beginning, our focus has been building business relationships with clients as trusted strategic advisors, not just as lawyers. Our attorneys understand their clients' business and industry inside and out, seeking legal solutions that support the client's long-term business strategy as well as short-term needs.
LP's top talent and entrepreneurial setting translate into the sophisticated skills and resources of a big law firm in a more manageable environment. We expertly navigate complex real estate deals, huge national business transactions, and critical litigation matters, and we do it with small-firm personal service, fewer layers of lawyers, greater top-level partner involvement, and more efficiency. We offer the same level of skill and expertise without the bitter big firm aftertaste.
Together and individually, we care about and value people – our employees, our clients, our business partners and our communities. We care about the planet and the kind of home it will provide for future generations, and we act on those beliefs daily through our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.

I'm a massive fan of travel. I spent a year backpacking around the world and saw a lot of amazing places. I also lived in the UK for 5 years. Despite now having a serious job and a mortgage, I still try to get away as much as I can. Sydney doesn't have quite as much to offer as London, but I'm getting to know some nice places around here.
I'm into sports and I'm usually doing something (soccer, tennis, gym), 3 or 4 times a week. I also enjoy snorkelling and I have a group of friends I go away with for scuba diving trips now and then.
I also enjoy food. I live near Chinatown so I enjoy sampling the restaurants on offer there.

The primary aim of the study is to compare the effects of the two blood glucose targets on 90 day all-cause mortality in Intensive Care patients who are predicted on admission to stay in the ICU for at least one full calendar day. The hypothesis is that there is little difference in the relative risk of death between patients assigned a glucose range of 4.5 - 6.0 mmol/L, and those assigned a glucose range of less than 10.0 mmol/L with insulin being infused if blood glucose exceeds 10.0 mmol/L, and adjusted when needed to maintain blood glucose of 8.0 - 10.0 mmol/L.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients are eligible for INCLUSION in the study if ALL the following criteria are met:
- At time of the patient's admission to the ICU the treating ICU specialist expects the patient will require treatment in the ICU that extends beyond the calendar day following the day of admission.
- Patient has an arterial line in situ or placement of an arterial line is imminent (within the next hour) as part of routine ICU management.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will be EXCLUDED from the study if ONE or MORE of the following criteria are present:
- Age < 18 years.
- Imminent death (cardiac standstill or brain death anticipated in less than 24 hours) and the treating clinicians are not committed to full supportive care. This should be confirmed by a documented treatment-limitation order that exceeds a "not-for-resuscitation" order.
- Patients admitted to the ICU for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar state.
- Patient is expected to be eating before the end of the day following admission
- Patients who have suffered hypoglycaemia without documented full neurological recovery.
- Patient thought to be at abnormally high risk of suffering hypoglycaemia ( e.g. known insulin secreting tumour or history of unexplained or recurrent hypoglycaemia or fulminant hepatic failure)
- If a patient has previously been enrolled in the NICE-SUGAR Study (patients cannot be enrolled in the NICE-SUGAR Study more than once).
- If the patient can not provide prior informed consent, there is documented evidence that the patient has no legal surrogate decision maker and it appears unlikely that the patient will regain consciousness or sufficient ability to provide delayed informed consent
- The patient has been in the study ICU or another ICU for longer than 24 hours for this admission.
There is no upper age limit for inclusion into the study unless any of the specific exclusion criteria are present.
