See TracTicketsCustomFields for more information. 81 82 83 == Assign-to as Drop-Down List == 84 85 If the list of possible ticket owners is finite, you can change the ''assign-to'' ticket field from a text input to a drop-down list. This is done by setting the `restrict_owner` option of the `[ticket]` section in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] to "true". In that case, Trac will use the list of all users who have accessed the project to populate the drop-down field. 86 87 To appear in the dropdown list, a user needs be registered with the project, ''i.e.'' a user session should exist in the database. Such an entry is automatically created in the database the first time the user submits a change in the project, for example when editing the user's details in the ''Settings'' page, or simply by authenticating if the user has a login. Also, the user must have `TICKET_MODIFY` [TracPermissions permissions]. 88 89 '''Note:''' See [http://pacopablo.com/wiki/pacopablo/blog/set-assign-to-drop-down Populating Assign To Drop Down] on how to add user entries at database level 90 91 '''Note 2:''' If you need serious flexibility and aren't afraid of a little plugin coding of your own, see [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/FlexibleAssignToPlugin FlexibleAssignTo] (disclosure: I'm the author) 92 93 '''Note 3:''' Activating this option may cause some performance degradation, read more about this in the [trac:TracPerformance#Configuration Trac performance] page. 94 95 == Preset Values for New Tickets == 96 97 To create a link to the new-ticket form filled with preset values, you need to call the `/newticket?` URL with variable=value separated by &. 57 98 58 99 Possible variables are : 59 100 101 60 102 * '''reporter''' - Name or email of the reporter 61 103 * '''summary''' - Summary line for the ticket … … 67 109 * '''priority''' - The priority droplist 68 110 * '''milestone''' - The milestone droplist 69 * '''owner''' - The responsable ofthe ticket 70 * '''cc''' - The list of email for notifythe ticket change 111 * '''owner''' - The the ticket 112 * '''cc''' - The list of email the ticket change 71 113 72 '''Example:''' ''/trac/newticket?summary=Compile%20Error&version=1.0&component=gui'' 114 '''Example:''' ''/trac/newticket?summary=Compile%20Error&version=1.0&component=gui'' 73 115 74 75 See also: TracGuide, TracWiki, TracTicketsCustomFields, TracNotification 116 ---- 117 See also: TracGuide, TracWiki, TracTicketsCustomFields, TracNotification

Live Twitter Updates
PHILADELPHIA - Ivy rivals No. 10 Penn and No. 1 Princeton will row for the rights to the Wood-Hammond Cup Saturday on the Schuylkill River. Georgetown will join the lightweights as a guest.
The lightweights begin competition at 10 a.m., with the Freshman 8, followed by the second varsity at 10:20 a.m. The cup race is set to start at 10:40 a.m., and the lightweights will cap their day with the third varsity at 11 a.m. Penn's heavyweights are also home on Saturday and the complete schedule is listed below. Penn's tentative lightweight boatings are listed below.
This annual competition between the varsity lightweight crews of Princeton and Penn began in 1941, however, the trophy was not presented until 1946. Georgetown has been a recent guest in the competition but does not contend for the cup. Penn's last win in this race came on the Schuylkill in 2005. Overall, Princeton holds the advantage as it has claimed the cup 54 times.
Last year in the Wood-Hammond Cup race, Princeton was again No. 1 in the nation and was too much to keep up with on its home course. The third varsity won for the Quakers, but the Tigers claimed the Wood-Hammond Trophy for the fifth straight year. Lake Carnegie was calm throughout the day and Princeton kept the hardware by gaining an early lead. Penn was in second until the final 500 meters when a big push by the Hoyas pulled them close to the Tigers, but Princeton won with a time of 5:44.5. Georgetown was two seconds behind and Penn finished in 5:53.8.
In sub-par weather conditions last week, Penn placed third behind Yale and Columbia in the Dodge Cup on the Housatonic River in Derby, Conn. All but two of the races were cancelled due to swamping. The cup races were moved to the start of the morning with the poor weather conditions expected. The varsity crews rowed into a headwind with Yale taking the early lead on both Penn and Columbia. The Bulldogs earned an open water lead, but the Lions and Quakers were in a tight battle for second. Eventually the Lions pulled away to earn the runner-up position. Yale won with a time of 6:21.6, while Columbia finished at 6:30.6 and the Quakers finished the course in 6:38.5.
A complete recap and results of the regatta will be available shortly after its conclusion on PennAthletics.com.

Meiyappan faces heat | Rauf placed bets | How Vindoo extracted information
The most successful Indian Premier League team is now teetering on the brink of extinction.
Gurunath Meiyappan, the man who used to call himself the 'team principal' of the Chennai Super Kings, and was later downgraded to a 'member of the management team' by the owners, India Cements, has been charge sheeted by the Mumbai crime branch in connection with the IPL fixing scandal, as MAIL TODAY had reported on September 17.
With this, the very existence of the team has been put in doubt, since according to clause 11.3 in the IPL franchise agreement, the BCCI-IPL may terminate it with immediate effect by written notice if "the franchisee, any franchisee group company and/ or the owner acts in any way which has a material adverse effect upon the reputation or standing of the league, BCCI-IPL, BCCI, the franchisee, the team or any other team in the league and/ or the game of cricket". This development casts a shadow over the position of BCCI president N. Srinivasan, Meiyappan's father-in-law and India Cements managing director, as he seeks re- election on September 29.
Meiyappan has been named in an 11,609-page charge sheet filed by the crime branch at the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court. Others named include Vindoo Randhawa alias Vindoo Dara Singh, a small-time actor and son of legendary actor and wrestler Dara Singh, and former international umpire Asad Rauf from Pakistan, who is referred to as a 'wanted accused' since he left the country before he could be caught.
Also See: The IPL Spot-Fixing Timeline
Fifteen bookies from Pakistan have also been named as 'wanted accused' in the case.
Joint Commissioner of Police Himanshu Roy said: "The case against Gurunath is of compromising the confidential information related to his team and using it for betting. He was in constant touch with Vindoo. There are various instances where he has given information about team strategy and composition," said Roy.
Hotelier Vikram Agrawal alias Victor, whose involvement was also being probed in the racket, has been made a witness in the case.
Meiyappan has been charged under a host of sections ranging from the IT to the Gambling and Forgery acts. While the charge-sheet has accused Meiyappan and Vindoo of betting, there are enough hints that the duo, along with Rauf, could have been involved in something as serious as match-fixing.
For instance, in one of the conversations on May 12, Meiyappan told Vindoo the Super Kings would make 130-140 runs against Rajasthan Royals and placed a bet against his own team through Vindoo. Crime branch officials wondered how it was possible that Meiyappan knew this before the match, especially when the team ended up making 141.
In fact, the match-fixing suspicion becomes stronger especially as one reads the transcript of Rauf's chats with Vindoo.
On May 15, at 1.29pm, Rauf calls up Vindoo and tells him: "Aaj zindagi ki haar-jeet kar lo Mumbai par (Bet your life savings on Mumbai Indians today)." Upon hearing this, Vindoo calls up bookie Pawan Jaipur and tells him: "Dada [Rauf] ko jo bhi gifts diye hain, aaj vasool ho jaayenge (Whatever gifts we gave to Dada will be recovered today)." A crime branch officer said they have not been able to investigate the match-fixing angle as they haven't been able to question the main people involved in the scam.
Rauf fled to Pakistan as soon as he came to know of Vindoo's arrest and the two main bookies, Pawan and Sanjay Jaipur, are out on bail.
However, sources said police are scrutinising the match in which Rauf asked Vindoo to bet strongly on the Mumbai Indians to see whether he gave any dubious decisions.
In fact, they suspect that one of the run out decisions given by Rauf was doubtful.
This was the match against Rajasthan Royals which Mumbai won by 14 runs, whereafter the Delhi Police arrested three Rajasthan players for spot fixing.
Police say Rauf also bet, and that too on the matches that he was officiating in. In the charge sheet, police have attached statements of high-end departmental stores where Rauf shopped, while the dues were settled by Pawan.
The Mumbai Police has now started the process for issuing a Letter Rogatory, a request by a court to another court in a foreign country seeking judicial assistance.

The ANC's vision of a non-racial, non-sexist, democratic, equal and prosperous society basically summarises the Freedom Charter, says Jeff Radebe.
Johannesburg - In deciding the relevance of the Freedom Charter in our transformation discourse, some have dwelt much on the specificity of its "text" as opposed to the general thrust of its "spirit".
For a document that was drafted 59 years ago, it goes without saying that the relevance of its text will gradually drift into oblivion, because new dynamics demand different ways to specific political, social and economic navigation of prevailing challenges.
All these changing conditions considered, we must answer the question why the ANC continues to consider the Freedom Charter, adopted in 1955 at the Kliptown Congress of the People, as its basic policy document.
The answer lies in the duality often attributed to such important historic documents, that being their "letter" and "spirit".
When we speak of the letter and spirit of the constitution in one breath, it is because we are mindful of the fact that the "letter" may have missed some of the important details that we intended to be pronounced by such documents, but nonetheless whose inclusion would have made the document too bulky.
But where the letter in a constitution overrides the spirit on a technical basis, there is no doubt that a historic document drafted 59 years ago would lean more on its spirit than the pragmatism of its text.
Thus the question that we should be asking ourselves on the occasion of the 59th Anniversary of the Freedom Charter is: What were the broad policy objectives of those who gathered in Kliptown in 1955 to adopt this historic document?
The Freedom Charter must be read against the injustices that it sought to annul. By 1955, unlike in 1912 when the ANC was formed, the liberation struggle had made qualitative leaps, and so did the oppressive environment.
Apartheid, which was more intensive and violent – particularly during the Defiance Campaign Against Unjust Laws of 1952 – had replaced the outright conventional wars of colonial conquest.
That is why in its opening lines, it declared that "South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white". In the same breath, the Freedom Charter declaration asserted that "no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of the people".
We could argue these two important points were its most defining features. But reading through the Freedom Charter, there is no doubt that its principles informed the content of South Africa's constitution. Therefore our constitution has the charter embedded in it.
Two important points need to be borne in mind when analysing a document such as the Freedom Charter. First, one must note that the outcome inspired by the need to install a just order remains relevant and is the golden thread of the charter as it is of our post-1994 democratic constitution. Second, that to the extent the Freedom Charter speaks on the methods to achieve those outcomes, that was largely influenced by the understanding of what was considered practicable at the time of its drafting and adoption.
In understanding the relevance of the Freedom Charter, one needs merely look into the various subheadings such as "the people shall govern", "all national groups shall have equal rights", "the people shall share in the country's wealth", "the land shall be shared among those who work it", "all shall be equal before the law", "all shall enjoy equal human rights", "there shall be work and security", "the doors of learning and culture shall be opened", "there shall be houses, security and comfort" and "there shall be peace and friendship".
Looking into government policies since 1994 up to the present, there is no doubt that one can see how the charter has inspired ANC policy even beyond the constitution. The ANC's vision of a non-racial, non-sexist, democratic, equal and prosperous society basically summarises the Freedom Charter.
Thus when the ANC presents both its policy manifesto and parliamentary lists towards national general elections, it is after these have undergone robust scrutiny by the rank-and-file of the movement.
The ANC has even taken the matter of policy formulation further by inviting the general public to make submissions on what the ANC must seek to do in its five-year mandates, as per its manifesto. This fulfils the very crucial principle enshrined in the Freedom Charter and for which many paid the ultimate price – and that is, "the people shall govern", this being both with regards to parliamentary representatives and policies that inform the government transformation programme.
Critical to the anti-colonial struggle as well as the anti-apartheid struggle was the question of land. First and foremost Africans were dispossessed of their land and it was thereafter that a complex systemic oppression was unleashed on them under the apartheid regime.
Recently, Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform Gugile Nkwinti announced the targets to have at least 50 percent of farmland transferred to the farmworkers proportionate to the time they had spent working on those farms.
Recently, one of the longest strikes in the mining sector has been waged through a union not even aligned to the ruling party. The ANC did not forcefully stop that strike because the Freedom Charter declares that "all who work shall be free to form trade unions, to elect their officers and to make wage agreements with their employers".
Since 1994, the ANC government has allocated more funds to education than any other departmental budget vote because the education of South Africa's black children was deliberately undermined by the apartheid regime.
Incidentally, it was in the same June month that thousands of schoolchildren protested this inferior education system, catalysed by the decision Afrikaans was to be the medium of instruction in all schools. By removing biases in education, the ANC is not only eradicating a legacy that had been central to marginalising the black majority, but also responding positively to the injunction by the charter that "the doors of learning and culture shall be opened".
While the charter text stipulates that "mineral wealth beneath the soil, the banks and monopoly industry shall be transferred to the people as a whole", the spirit to ensure economic parity remains current ANC policy.
Conclusively, the Freedom Charter has stood the test of time and remains as relevant as ever in guiding the resolution of the trio challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment
As South Africa commemorates the 59th anniversary of the adoption of the Freedom Charter, this priceless document remains relevant in helping move South Africa forward.

Curiosity's Location During First ScoopingThis 360-degree scene shows the surroundings of the location where NASA Mars rover Curiosity arrived on the 59th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (Oct. 5, 2012). It is a mosaic of images taken by Curiosity's Navigation Camera (Navcam) on sols 59 and 60.
Smooth surfaces of the windblown sand and dust of the "Rocknest" area, in the foreground, are what signaled from a distance that this might be an appropriate place to spend about three weeks collecting and using the mission's first few scoopfuls of soil. The rover scooped up its first sample on Sol 61 (Oct. 7, 2012).
South is at the center of this panorama, north at both ends. Mount Sharp is on the horizon in the southeast. The "Glenelg" area planned as the next destination lies to the east. Tracks that Curiosity's wheels made while driving toward Rocknest recede toward the west. For scale, Curiosity leaves parallel tracks about 9 feet (2.7 meters) apart.
The scene is presented here as a cylindrical projection.

One of the occupants of the bus has been kidnapped by a young cowboy. He fell in love with her at a Kansas City dance hall and is determined to carry her back to his Montana ranch. The local sheriff steps in to protect her.
Ric Goodwin will direct.

Sephora Cosmedicine Honest Face Skin Tint & Treatment SPF 20 Reviews
Such a Great Product -Honestly :)I got this as a deluxe sample from Sephora and I ended up cutting open the tube to get every last bit out. It's light, non greasy, skin perfecting, moisturizing, and natural looking.

Good stuff.This is a sheer tint that hides a little redness in my cheeks without making me look like I am wearing foundation. I love that it's an SPF 20 versus an SPF 15 and it hydrates too!

Great Alternative to FoundationFor years I've been looking for a foundation that doesn't make me feel as if I'm wearing make-up, and I have been unsuccessful. I finally visited Sephora and an attendant told me I really didn't need foundation but to try a tinted-moisturizer. I absolutely love what Cosmedicine's Honest Face does for my skin. It gives me great coverage, and leaves my face with a warm, healthy glow. — 9 years, 2 months agoLaJune | 1 reviews

Microsoft finishes Windows Vista
Retail release set for Jan. 30
Published 10:00 pm, Tuesday, November 7, 2006
Microsoft Corp. announced Wednesday morning that it has completed Windows Vista and will release the product for retail Jan. 30 -- meeting, just barely, its promise to deliver the new operating system in the first month of next year.
"This is a good day," said Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft's Platforms & Services Division, in a conference call announcing the operating system's release to manufacturing. "It's rock solid, and we're ready to ship."
The news marks the end of a five-year development process that suffered from repeated delays. Microsoft was forced at one point to divert programmers from Windows Vista to address security problems in Windows XP, through a major service-pack update to the existing version of the PC operating system.

Microsoft's next mission will be persuading computer users and businesses to upgrade to Windows Vista, which executives have described as the biggest improvement in the flagship program since Windows 95. The company is promising better security in the operating system, along with a glossy new look, fast file-searching, performance improvements and other features.
But for some PC users, those features will require major hardware upgrades. For example, Microsoft recommends a full gigabyte of main memory for the "premium" Vista experience, including the higher-quality "Windows Aero" desktop interface.
Others say Microsoft may be underestimating the requirements. Two gigabytes of memory would be more realistic, Dell CEO Kevin Rollins reportedly said recently.
Windows is Microsoft's biggest product, the primary software used to run more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers. The PC Windows division was responsible for more than $10 billion of Microsoft's profit last year.
Microsoft's plans for Windows Vista have come under antitrust scrutiny, with rivals and regulators trying to keep the company from using its dominant position to give itself an edge in other areas of the software market. Last month, Microsoft announced a series of changes in Vista's search, security and document features in an effort to address questions raised by the European Commission.
But even with the long development cycle, the Windows Vista destined for store shelves and PC hard drives isn't what Bill Gates had in mind when he first unveiled the operating system. In 2004, Microsoft put off plans for an ambitious file system, dubbed WinFS, to ensure that it could release the operating system in 2006.
That schedule proved unrealistic. Earlier this year, Microsoft announced plans to push back Windows Vista's retail debut until January -- missing the critical holiday shopping season and complicating matters for PC makers, which typically see a bump in sales with the release of a new Microsoft operating system.
The long development process for Windows stands out at a time when developers of Web-based software can release rapid-fire updates for their programs. Apple Computer has been making regular updates to its Mac OS X operating system, beating Microsoft to market with features including rapid file searching.
After announcing Vista's retail delay, Microsoft began to bring in new executives from other parts of the company to guide development of Windows after Vista. "Rest assured, we will never have a gap between Windows releases as long as the one between XP and Windows Vista," Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer told an audience of the company's partners in July. "Count on it."
Microsoft plans to release Vista for volume-licensing business customers Nov. 30, along with new versions of its Office and Exchange Server programs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles has chosen 46 attractions, slogans and facts to make up a backdrop for the state's new license plates.
The newly designed plates are set to hit the road next spring with bigger, bolder blue letters and numbers on a gray backdrop.
Over the years, Ohio has gone with one motto ranging from the "Heart of it All" to "Seat Belts Fastened?" The new plates will feature nearly four dozen all together. People voted online this year on which slogans should be represented.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/RPHurD ) reports that among those making the cut are state's official motto, "With God All Things Are Possible," and it's unofficial one: "The Buckeye State."

Let's Go for a Free Pass
I've been thinking an awful lot about walks lately—not the kind I try to take each night before bed, but rather the kind that Cliff Lee now avoids with startling regularity. My last two Seidnotes columns focused on his fantastic season in an attempt to deduce whether or not anyone ever matched his potentially historic pace. Additionally, I used his numbers to illustrate the differences between the more common strikeout-to-walk ratio and the strikeout-minus-walk differential. Today, I frame his walk-averse campaign in a slightly different light. Entering his most recent complete-game loss, Lee issued seven walks while surrendering nine home runs.
Yes, the man had walked fewer batters than he had allowed home runs! An out-of-character, two-walk performance on Sunday tied the numbers, but I began to wonder how rare it is for dingers to exceed walks. With that in mind, my goals today are to explore this very phenomenon, and to discuss walks and walk rates on a very basic level, as the numbers are used very frequently, yet leaders in the respective categories are not exactly common knowledge.
First, how often has a pitcher with 150 or more innings in a season allowed fewer free passes than McGwire Specials? Dating back to 1974—and excluding the 2010 season for now—a measly 14 pitcher-seasons met the criteria. As we might expect, some of the names are repeated, making the feat all the more rare. In order of fewest walks allowed, here are Lee's potential contemporaries:
OK, so not everyone here is really Lee's contemporary, as those tabled above reached their mark in different fashions. Carlos Silva didn't walk anyone in 2005, but he wasn't exactly a stranger to the long ball. Rick Reed went from replacement player to control freak in a nice major-league career, but his home run totals are also in excess of what is expected from Lee over the remainder of the season. In fact, aside from Lieber's 2004, and Wells' 2003 and 2004 seasons, the rest meet the criteria in the query, but that's it, unless you expect Lee to serve up 16-18 home runs over his next 10 outings to match the raw totals of Silva's strange 2005.
What has made Lee's year so outstanding is that, in addition to virtually never walking anyone, he isn't even being hit hard. Well, what's the least amount of home runs a pitcher has surrendered in a season with the same innings stipulation? An initial run of the query explained that almost all of the leaders in this area did so in past eras. Further restricting the sample to seasons in the wild-card era, a four-way tie for first place emerges between Chris Carpenter's 2009, Clayton Kershaw's 2009, Pedro Martinez's 2003, and Andy Pettitte's 1997. All four of those pitchers allowed a mere seven home runs over the course of the season; however, none of them are anywhere near Lee's walk rate. Nobody in the wild-card era who has pitched as much as Lee will and gone on to finish the year with fewer than 20 walks and fewer than 20 home runs.
Then again, these are raw totals, which can be rather wonky when trying to compare players or solve problems like this due to playing time. A pitcher with 50 walks in 250 innings has more raw walks than one with 30 walks in 130 innings, but the rate of the former is likely to be superior.
With that in mind, let's rephrase the question: Has anyone ever finished a season with a walk rate (BB/PA) and home-run rate (HR/PA) in the same vicinity of Lee's? To answer, we must first determine Lee's rates. Since he has allowed both nine home runs and walks, and faced 572 batters, his rates are each .016. Here are the lowest walk rates and home-run rates since 1974:
Suffice to say, nobody shows up in prominent spots on both leaderboards during the same season. Greg Maddux shows up on both, but with different seasons; his 1997 had the fifth-best walk rate, while his 1994 produced the sixth-best home-run rate. We don't know where Lee will finish the season, but this could potentially be yet another feather in his cap. Then again, there is one other instance of a pitcher producing walk and home-run rates south of 2 percent in the same season: Bret Saberhagen in 1994. Lee could become the second pitcher in the last four decades to achieve this feat, which is less romantic than being the only one, but remarkable nevertheless.
Moving on, I want to touch a little on the differences between rates and raw statistics, and between rates themselves, as I am asked questions along these lines quite frequently. Rates and raw tallies are the two basic building blocks of baseball statistics. When asked Lee's penchant for giving up home runs, we can answer with nine, which is the literal amount of balls that have left the yard, or .016, which is the rate at which batters he faces hit home runs. Both have their place and neither is technically wrong. What matters is the level of accuracy. For instance, if I'm comparing a group of pitchers with between 200-210 innings pitched, raw numbers are likely fine as there won't be much in the way of playing time issues.
If, however, I'm comparing someone with 322
But there are numerous types of rates as well, which muddies the waters a bit. The more commonly used rates are shown on a per-nine basis. K/9 or BB/9 are the most frequently quoted "offenders" and the numbers essentially attempt to tell us the raw total that would occur if the pitcher were to have thrown a complete game. See the problem there? First, we're using a rate to give us a raw number, and it doesn't actually tell us anything characteristic of the pitcher. Knowing a pitcher has a 7.7 K/9 is somewhat helpful, but I have no idea how that translates to batters faced, which is a more effective baseline.
Don't believe me? There are multiple ways to skin a cat, just like per-nine rates can be arrived at in different fashions. Consider these two innings:
Both innings featured three strikeouts, meaning that, on a per-nine basis, each achieved a 27.00 K/9 for the frame. However, the first inning is obviously far worse than the second, as three runs scored and a walk was issued. The per-nine basis doesn't care. Using percentages, the first inning has an SO/PA of .429, while the second checks in at .750. Choosing between raw tallies and rates can be a bit confusing, but choosing between the types of rates can be maddening. However, when trying to show how Cliff Lee is in the midst of a season for the books, or any other similar exercise, it's important to use the right numbers to make the point, or else you risk not making the right point at all.

one note. so far 2 of Cliff Lee's walks have been intentional (including one of the two in his previous start) Not sure how that will change things.

Forty Four Years of Debate: The Impact of Race, Community and Conflict
Race, Community and Conflict by John Rex and Robert Moore was published in 1967 and had a considerable public impact through press and TV. Forty four years later it is still widely cited in research on British urban society and 'race relations'. It is used in teaching research methods, theory, urban sociology and 'race relations' to undergrad-uates. This article describes and explains the immediate impact of the book and its more lasting contribution to sociology. Race, Community and Conflict immediately addressed contemporary public issues around immigration and race relations and was the first book systematically to explore the responses of one city administration to the arrival of new migrants drawn in by the local demand for labour. The longer term impact of the book, it is argued, derives from its attempt to create a theoretical framework deriving from both the work of the Chicago School of Sociology and the adoption of a Weberian approach to social class and urban conflict. The combination of theorised structural analysis with detailed local ethnographic approaches to research probably accounts for the book's continued contribution to the teaching of sociology.

A WEBSITE survey has shown strong opposition to a leisure centre staying in Winchester city centre.
A poll on the Chronicle website that closed yesterday attracted a record 728 votes.
Asked is North Walls Park the best place for a new leisure centre in Winchester, three-quarters said no, 24 per cent said yes, one per cent did not know.
The future of the River Park Leisure centre has been hugely controversial for the last 18 months with the city council proposing to redevelop the current centre and expand onto the cricket pitch.
The Fit for the Future lobby group wants the centre to be moved to the Bar End playing fields.

Seamstress energetically served church, veterans
Liz Yanni arrived two hours early to prepare St. Alphonsus Church in Springdale for Mass and volunteered more than 8,000 hours in 20 years for the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"An aunt once joked, 'If she didn't do so much, there would be more room for someone else to volunteer,'" said son Jim Yanni of Wexford.
Elizabeth "Liz" A. Yanni of Springdale died Friday, Dec. 28, 2012, in Harmar Village in Harmar from a heart attack. She was 93.
She was born Jan. 4, 1919, in Springdale to Edward and Hilda Prohaska. Her father was an organizer for the United Mine Workers, and her mother was a homemaker. She waited tables at age 10 in Power City Restaurant and worked in Winchelle's five-and-dime store after graduating from high school.
She married her high school sweetheart, Salvatore "Jim" Yanni, on July 28, 1939. To make ends meet, she sewed drapes in the basement of their home for Altmeyer's Fabrics. She was so good at sewing that she designed and sewed the costume for Reddy Kilowatt, a light bulb with antennas that was the mascot for the Springdale High School Dynamos.
An active member of St. Alphonsus, Mrs. Yanni would unlock the church in the morning, wash priests' vestments, usher people to their seats, collect donations and dispense Holy Communion. She performed similar duties at the VA Center in Aspinwall and wheeled patients to its chapel for Mass. She also coordinated poppy sales for the VFW.
"She loved — loved — doing stuff for the vets," said son Jack Yanni of Palmyra in Lebanon County. "My Dad was a Seabee. She got involved in that through him."
Mrs. Yanni volunteered so much that the state House of Representatives cited her in 2006 "for her exemplary citizenship and working with the community." The Cheswick-Springdale Lions Club named its Distinguished Service Award for her to honor her many years of service.
"She taught us to think about others," Jack Yanni said. "My career was in law enforcement, and that's what I love to do — help others. That's the way my mother was — do things and not brag about it."
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by half brothers, Richard and Charles; a half sister, Julia; sisters, Virginia and Dolores; and a brother, Edward. Survivors include a sister, Theresa Prohaska, now Sister Hilda of Allison Park.
The family will hold a private interment on Thursday in Greenwood Memorial Park with a memorial Mass to be celebrated at a date to be determined in St. Alphonsus Catholic Church and the Sisters of Divine Providence Mother House in Allison Park. Charles B. Jarvie Funeral Home Inc. in Springdale/Cheswick is handling the arrangements.
The family asks that memorials be in the form of donations to the Elizabeth Prohaska Yanni Community Service Award at the Cheswick-Springdale Lions Club, P.O. Box 164, Springdale, PA 15144.

The market for pipeline protection has been expanding to provide increased security to energy and water supplies. At the Applied Market Information (AMI) conference on pipeline coating earlier this year, AMI consultant Noru Tsalic valued the market at about 5 billion euros in 2009 and predicted growth to 6.5 billion euros by 2013.
The conference highlighted a variety of information on the market for pipeline protection. According to the presentations, the highest demand for coatings is in Asia, with 23 percent market share, followed by Europe at 19 percent, then NAFTA and the CIS states at 17 percent each. Concrete coating is the highest value sector at 42 percent, followed by external anticorrosion at 38 percent, internal coatings at 11 percent and thermal insulation at 9 percent. Gas and oil use most of the coated pipeline, with a small fraction used for water distribution.
Europe currently imports 54 percent of the energy it requires each year, and this will rise to 70 percent in 2030 as its resources are depleted, according to corrosion protection manufacturer Denso, which is providing field joint coating on new pipelines being built across Europe. The new pipelines include Nord Stream, which will carry gas from Russia to Europe, and the OPAL and NEL pipelines, which will connect it to the existing network in Central and Western Europe.
For more information from presentations made at the AMI conference, contact Sally Humphreys, business development manager, at email@example.com.

According to a report on Techland today, NBC has updated its iPad app to now include free streaming full episodes of hit shows such as The Office, Community, and Parks and Recreation. And it seems that you really do get a good deal and a good choice, with five of the most recent episodes of each of the featured prime time shows available, and some shows, such as Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, having eight shows available to watch for free, and even better, for some shows such as America's Got Talent, you can actually watch every single episode for free. It's even available outside the US as well. Nice one, NBC! Techland notes that by choosing to start streaming some of its programmes for free on the iPad, NBC joins ABC to become only the second broadcast network in the US to offer such a service, although CBS does have a streaming app as well, but it's only available on the iPhone for some reason.

Abstract : There are a number of options for modulation formats in optical fiber and free-space lasercom systems. There are a seemingly even greater number of options for receiver architectures. Although most of these possibilities and combinations have been analyzed in journal publications and textbooks, there does not seem to be a single place to look for all relevant results concerning these options. Furthermore, comparisons of the options do not seem to have been methodically tabulated. In this work, then, we will present, describe, analyze, and compare the theoretical communications performance metrics of the most common optical modulation formats paired with the basic classes of receiver types.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman appeared on Bill Maher's Real Time with Arthur Laffer, "the father of supply-side economics" and former Reagan advisor. Krugman spoke about government's role to stimulate a depressed economy, boosting jobs and consumer demand. Watch:
KRUGMAN: We are in a depression. We are actually in a classic depression. A depression is when nobody wants to spend. Everybody wants to pay down their debt at the same time. Everybody is trying to pull back, either because they got too far into debt, or because if they're a corporation, they can't sell because consumers are pulling back. The thing about an economy is that it fits together. My spending is your income. Your spending is my income, so if we all pull back at the same time, we're in a depression. The way to get out of it is for somebody to spend so that people can pay down their debt, so that we don't have a depression. So that we have a chance to work out of whatever excesses we had in the past, and that somebody has to be the government. We ended the Great Depression with a great program of government spending for an unfortunate reason. It was known as World War II…but when the war broke out in Europe, and we began our buildup, that Great Depression that had been going on for ten years. People thought it would go on forever. Learned people stroked their chins and said there are no quick answers. In two years, employment rose 20%. That's the equivalent of 26 million jobs today, the depression was over. We had full employment, and it never came back, or it didn't come back until 2008, because people managed to pay down those debts, and we managed to have a durable recovery.
Laffer offered a facile analogy regarding stimulus and Krugman's citation of history, stating, "I've never heard of a poor person spending himself into prosperity." He also offered standard supply-side bromides: to "incentivize producers"–i.e., "job creators"–we need to "lower tax rates." When does reality start to settle in with these "trickle down" theorists?

Bob Hoskins, who plays Muir the dwarf in 'Snow White and the Huntsman', thanks fans for their supports and looks forward to spending more time with his family.
Bob Hoskins is retiring from acting world due to health-related issue. The 69-year-old actor, who plays blind dwarf Muir in Kristen Stewart's "Snow White and the Huntsman", was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease last fall, but hasn't issued an official statement about it until recently.
"He wishes to thank all the great and brilliant people he has worked with over the years, and all of his fans who have supported him during a wonderful career. Bob is now looking forward to his retirement with his family, and would greatly appreciate that his privacy be respected at this time," the statement reads.
The U.K.-born actor has two children from his first marriage to Jane Livesey. After getting divorced, he tied the knot with Linda Banwell and has two more kids with his second wife. He appeared in such critically-acclaimed movies as "The Long Good Friday", "Mona Lisa" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

Comments from PeterApruzzese
Showing 1 - 25 of 636 comments
Yeah, not exactly the kid of comment from staff that should be made public. He blames the poster for being late…except the poster wasn't late. And, sorry, with a nearly 4 hour event the venue should open earlier than usual to be certain of starting the show on time.
Grand opening was in 1982, not 1981.
That should be 1982, not 1981
That's a shame about Jaws (and I suspect the other classics this month) – Universal has a very nice DCP of that title available, and I ran it in 35mm at the Lafayette about 13 years ago.
As far as I know, it was never equipped with 70mm when it was a UA house.
The iPic that recently opened in Fort Lee, NJ is reportedly doing very good business at $25 a ticket for the Premium Plus seats.
How many people were there for the show? What type of gear did they bring in to run it? I would have liked to be there but one-day events are hard to get to in the summer.
No, the old VHS and LaserDisc Special Editions were an attempt at reconstructing the Roadshow version but were not complete and the additional scenes were in very rough shape and, in some cases, contained a distorted/squeezed picture. While also not fully complete, the Criterion is the closest to the original Roadshow cut and runs almost 15 minutes longer than those editions.
BigJoe – I have a copy of the final cutting notes dated January 10, 1964. They have specific instructions for the projectionist where the cuts are to be made to the print they are running (the roadshow theatres would later be sent new prints after the negative was cut). So you can assume the longer cut ran until that time and no later.
The Criterion Blu-ray that contains the Roadshow cut was made from the best surviving elements (and stills) to recreate it. It's all there is. Watching it, you can see why most of those scenes were cut. IMO, the shorter version is superior.
Contrary to the above post, the Star Wars Trilogy is coming to the Kings, tickets go on sale Friday, July 1 at 10am:
I ran the 35mm at the Cultural Arts Center one night during the Jewish Film Festival in, I think, 2004. That wasn't the original gear, I'm pretty certain it was donated by Nelson Page after being removed from one of his other theaters and that showing was the first time it had been used. The night was memorable because the motor on the feed platter burned out about 20 minutes into the show and I had to turn the platter by hand for the next two hours.
Potentially sad news for fans of the Lafayette:
"A six-year contract between the town of Ramapo and the Lafayette Theatre — which had the town loaning the venue a digital projector in exchange for the movie palace hosting a Saturday morning classic film series each fall and spring — is gone with the wind.
After the Lafayette's owner and operator, Ari Benmosche, informed the town on June 8 that he did not want to extend the contract that had been signed with a previous operator of the theater, the Town Board voted unanimously Wednesday to remove the projector."
Cinema 35 was not equipped with 70mm. When I worked there in 1992 it did not have stereo, so I'm not sure if it ever did.
"The Star Wars Films are not going to be shown here"
That's too bad, it would have been worth crossing the two rivers for that show.
Nice listing, Michael. Thanks for going to the trouble of posting it.
Good to hear – glad they got things off to a good start this year.
Senior admissions usually varied between 50-150 and if they had to pay, they wouldn't have come. The Shining had about 150-200 people both times we ran it during the HorrorThon. Only shows that ever did more than 50% capacity on Saturday mornings were Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life, Babes in Toyland, Miracle on 34th Street and maybe one or two others.
"Packed" definitely a relative term in this case. Biggest paid crowd we had would have been maybe 125 people for Goldfinger.
Where were you guys when we played Bond & Harryhausen between 2003 – 2014? :)
Sure: In New Jersey: the Loews Jersey, the Union County Arts Center (pretty sure they still have it), the Count Basie in Red Bank, probably some others I can't recall. In NY: MoMA, the AMMI in Queens, the Film Forum, the Walter Reade at Lincoln Center, the DGA, a few others.
Most places will do rentals, but you have to factor in the cost of the venue rental plus the film rental. And you wouldn't get a cut of concessions.
Yes, DCP is the current theatrical standard (that's how all new films are distributed). DCPs for classic films should look better than the Blu-ray edition since the DCP has no picture compression applied, but there are some studios who simply take an already compressed Blu-ray file and put it on a DCP hard drive.
I projected Blu-ray when I was there and it looks pretty good as long as you're not sitting very close. DVD doesn't hold up that large at all and was really only suitable for the shorts and trailers I occasionally ran from it.
As far as I know, the Lafayette no longer has operating 35mm equipment so you'll most likely never see another film presentation there. When we left in 2013, the gear was in fine shape, but subsequent changes in the booth have placed it out of commission – I would assume permanently – as the cost of restoring it after sitting idle for several years and finding a qualified projectionist to run special shows would be prohibitive.
Cost for booking classic films varies depending on the studio, but the minimum usually starts around $350 (for studio supplied DCP, running a Blu-ray or DVD costs a little less as those are usually not booked by the studio's theatrical department). And that's an upfront guarantee (paid in advance before the movie is delivered) against 35-45% of the box office. So figure you need about 125 paid admissions at $9 each just to break even on the film cost. Then factor in labor, utilities, etc., and you can see why there isn't much of anything to be made running classic movies. Concessions contribute a bit to the theatre's bottom line during these shows, but the free admission seniors rarely purchased anything.
Even the Horror-Thon weekends usually did not break even, sad to say.
Thanks for the kind words, guys. The 10 years running the classics at Lafayette were the most fun I ever had while working, no matter how much hassle they could be.
Mark – you should ask around, Weinstein is actively seeking former projectionists with large format experience to run the 70mm show.
Mechanical failure, repaired and back on screen within an hour. If it was a digital failure, they'd probably have had to send everyone home.

Will Yahoo 'Ruin' Tumblr?
Tracy Bloom
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Yahoo's board has approved a deal to buy social media site Tumblr for a whopping $1.1 billion in cash.
Tumblr boasted about 117 million unique users worldwide in March, but generates little revenue. "People familiar with the matter said Yahoo believes it could help Tumblr bring in more money by selling ads, boosting its own revenue in the process," the Journal reports.
A formal announcement could come as soon as Monday.
Not everyone is so enthused about the deal, however, and for perhaps good reason; as Gawker noted, Yahoo does have a history of "buying and ruining things," including GeoCities, Flickr and Delicious.
Sam Biddle via Gawker:
GeoCities – 1999:
Now this was a doozy. Yahoo, looking to branch out of the "list of things on the internet" and email game, spent almost $3 billion on GeoCities, the paleolithic precursor to whatever you'd call a social network today. They thought it'd be an easy win: stick one popular thing (GeoCities was the third most trafficked site in the world back then) into another popular thing, and, like, hey, twice as popular?
…We all know how this turned out: GeoCities is synonymous with ugliness and failure, the punchline of lazy tech jokes. Yahoo let the site languish. It sat there, sad and out of date, while its users jumped ship for Facebook—Yahoo never tried to make GeoCities anything more than the Lascaux caves of the web, and it died a quiet death, shuttered in 2009.
Flickr – 2005
Rather than make an enjoyable photo sharing site of its own, Yahoo took one that everyone already loved and stuck its name on it. Its mismanagement of the now obscure site, and the alienation of its fiercely loyal fans, is legendary. Yahoo's new boss says she wants to revitalize Flickr, but has made no visible effort.
Delicious – 2005
Now the pattern starts to emerge—this is serial killer stuff. Yahoo, once again, snatched up a cherished internet community for around $20 million, and once again, proceeded to do absolutely nothing with it. Delicious was repeatedly rumored to be on Yahoo's chopping block, its indie-minded users were turned off by Yahoo's ownership, and it took the two guys who invented YouTube to save it with a purchase in 2011. Then they ran the site into the ground.

Sue and Windy's Big Adventure
Waiting for 8 pm to eat in the Slow Food Restaurant, Trattoria ai Monti.
I walked to the art gallery with the special Guggenheim exhibit this afternoon and stopped to ask about 5 people directions along the way Purchased a wine opener in a regular, nontouristy store.
I most enjoyed a Natural Geographic Photographic Exhibition at the gallery. Very humanistic and cultural, really drew me in. Skipped lunch and am sooo ready for the special reveal, LOL, diner!
Used famous name brand clothing as signposts on my walking tour today. Pass Stephanel, turn right at MaxMara.

readers follow MacLeod and two other investigators as they search for the truth behind the death of an airman
Palm Desert, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2013
In "Identification: Friend or Foe: Death by Friendly Fire, Discovered Sixty-Two Years Later" (published by Trafford Publishing), author James MacLeod's new military mystery book, readers follow MacLeod and two other investigators as they search for the truth behind the death of an airman.
Dewar MacLeod joined the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. It was there that he was attached to the Second Tactical Air Force, flying Mosquito aircraft in support of Allied ground forces in Europe. He was killed in action near a Belgian village. 62 years later, Dewar's family learned his death may have been caused by friendly fire.
"Identification: Friend or Foe" chronicles the journey MacLeod took to discover the truth about his brother's death. Readers will follow the author as he sifts through a compilation of letters and emails to find leads that will help him find out what truly happened. Told in a heart-pounding, breath-stopping way – with many interesting photos – the book captures a piece of history almost forgotten and helps MacLeod close a part of his life that has been open for over 62 years.
An excerpt from "Identification: Friend or Foe":
"It was on the way back from Germany that fate turned against the new team; it was then that their aircraft was detected and regarded with suspicion by a ground control interception radar unit of the RAF set up somewhere in liberated territory. Mosquito NT179 was not transmitting IFF—Identification, Friend or Foe—and so GCI was unable to determine whether this was a friendly or enemy plane. In addition, NT179 approached Brussels on a track and at a height about which there were no friendly movement warnings at the time in question. In other words, for the GCI controller, NT179 was an unidentified and potentially enemy plane, in air force jargon a 'bogey'."
"Identification: Friend or Foe"

Meadowlands: Sevruga and Sweet Lou get their noses up to win Cutler, Maturity
If Saturday night's results in two significant stakes races at the Meadowlands are any indication of what's to come, the sport has plenty to look forward to in 2013. First, Sevruga kept his nose in front of the competition despite being put to intense pressure from the halfway mark to capture the $180,000 Arthur Cutler Memorial. Then Sweet Lou, making just his second start as a four-year-old, overcame post nine and put his nose in front of Warrawee Needy to capture the $100,000 Meadowlands Maturity.
Sevruga, under sharp handling by Andy Miller, seized the front well before the :27 opening quarter, forcing Modern Family, Opening Night and Undercover Strike to find a seat in behind him in the Cutler. Undercover Strike and David Miller made a move before the half to engage the leader and the two Millers put on quite a show. With the half in a manageable 55 2/5 seconds, Sevruga and Undercover Strike went to war and left some of their rivals in the dust briefly through a :26 4/5 third quarter. Modern Family held the pocket but not in close range and Wishing Stone, with Yannick Gingras, was gapped off Undercover Strike.
In the stretch, everyone had a shot to overtake Sevruga, but the son of S Js Caviar was brilliant on this night and kept digging in each time Andy Miller gave him the cue. Modern Family was first to his right flank with Wishing Stone next, before Guccio suddenly emerged from between horses and rallied on the far outside.
The dramatic photo finish showed Sevruga a winner by the slimmest of margins, with Wishing Stone and Guccio finishing in a dead heat for second and Modern Family less than a nose back in fourth.
The mile of 1:51 equaled the stakes best and was a personal best for Sevruga, a winner for the sixth time in 2013.
"I just wanted to keep him moving. He's such a tough and long-winded horse," said Andy Miller about his strategy. "I didn't know if I won it or not. I just hoped (sic) I had my nose up at the wire."
Sevruga will race next on May 26 in the Maxie Lee at Harrah's Philadelphia, according to trainer Julie Miller.
Yannick Gingras didn't drive Sweet Lou as a three-year-old, but after one start behind the horse he was able to craft an overland trip to a nose victory in the Meadowlands Maturity.
Gingras has a rare knack for positioning his horses and in the case of Sweet Lou he managed to orchestrate a perfect game plan despite starting from post nine.
With stablemate Hillbilly Hanover doing some of the heavy lifting early, Gingras was able to settle Sweet Lou on the outside at the back of the pack in the first quarter.
Hillbilly Hanover had the top well before the quarter and parked Warrawee Needy past that station before relinquishing the lead. The quarter was :27 1/5 and Warrawee Needy and driver Jody Jamieson quickly stalled the pace in the second quarter.
In the meantime, Gingras had positioned himself next to Hurrikane Kingcole, the 7-5 favorite. Dan Dube, behind Hurrikane Kingcole, took the bait and made a strong move to the lead leaving Sweet Lou in arrears. Hurrikane Kingcole assumed command through a :54 4/5 opening half then sprinted a third quarter in 27 seconds.
Gingras again was fortunate to pick up the live cover of Mel Mara at the half and get carried second over into the homestretch.
Hurrikane Kingcole again showed a dislike for leading horses into the stretch. Warrawee Needy shook out of the pocket to go by him first and then Sweet Lou charged on the outside to win the photo in a respectable 1:49 mile.
Sweet Lou won for the 19th time in his career, this time at odds of 9-2 with Warrawee Needy holding second ahead of Domethatagain.
"I was just trying to get a spot somewhere in the middle," said Gingras following the race. "Mel Mara is a real nice horse and I figured he was a good horse to follow because I didn't want to come first up this week."
The first round of New Jersey Sire Stakes for three-year-old pacers was held during the card. Gingras took the first division with last year's Breeders Crown champion Rockin Amadeus. The son of the late Rocknroll Hanover broke the 1:50 barrier for the first time, scoring in 1:49 4/5 in a $25,000 leg for colts. Emeritus Maximus and driver Tim Tetrick took home the second division worth $25,500 in 1:50 1/5.
Tetrick came back later to capture the $45,500 first leg of the Sire Stakes for fillies with I Luv The Nitelife. The Chris Ryder-trained filly stopped the timer in 1:51 in her season's debut.
