Racing Rules of Sailing for the America's Cup
The Rules covering the actual on the water racing action for the America's Cup are adapted from the standard Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), published by the ISAF, including the Match Racing appendix, but in order to respond to the particular needs of the regatta the Racing Rules of Sailing America's Cup Edition (abbreviated as RRSAC) makes several changes that affect rights of way, penalties, scoring, protests, officiating, and administration. Some safety equipment and media provisions specific to the AC72 yachts are also required by the RRSAC.
Changes to the racing rules from normal practice include, for example, allowing the privileged boat to "hunt" the give-way, continuing to force the give-way boat to change course and keep clear. This situation, not normally permitted in yacht racing, was a pivotal moment in the 2007 America's Cup Final.
Subsidiary to the RRSAC, some of the detailed logistics
necessary for staging the races are managed via the
Sailing Instructions,
establishing additional rules for the competitors, procedures for the Race
Committee and other regatta officials, and specifics of communications between
the parties. Among other issues, these include race start times, time
limits, starting box entry, and the course marks, course sequence, and course
Louis Vuitton Cup Format:
The RRSAC also contain the format and scoring for the Louis Vuitton Cup to select the challenger (see Rules 100-101). This differs from the America's Cup Match itself, where the format and scoring is established in the Protocol (See Article 12 (d)). One of the benefits of this split is that the Challengers and the Regatta Director can more properly manage the challengers' fates in the challenger selection process, helping the LVC focus on trying to select the strongest challenger. It would be a conflict of interest if the Defender significantly influenced the conduct of the Louis Vuitton Cup, with challengers ready to raise issues that the selection series was configured to their disadvantage in some manner. The challengers and the Regatta Director are permitted to set and modify the LVC format via the RRSAC on their own, whereas amending the Protocol would require consent of the Defender and COR.
Evolving Changes 2011-2013:
The RRSAC have been modified on a regular basis as the ACWS regattas took place. Some changes to the RRSAC over the course of the 2013 America's Cup cycle were a function of developing and experimenting with how to race the new AC45 catamarans under the tight short courses of the America's Cup World Series, including keeping the action as clear and intelligible for both spectators and participants. Several changes evolved as consequences of the new rules became better understood though actual racing.
Procedural changes are necessary, too, for the specialized electronic umpiring and penalty system made possible by the LiveLine technology invented for the 2013 America's Cup.
The official relationship with ISAF is relatively new to the
America's Cup, where issues of control and financial payments were often a point
of contention in previous years, and the America's Cup administered the Rules
without formal agreement with ISAF.
In Practice:
The RRSAC are administered by America's Cup Race Management, and through them by the Race Officers, and the Umpires. Protests stemming from AC72 racing are heard by the America's Cup Jury. Protests were not permitted for the AC45 yachts during the America's Cup World Series, though, to simplify the events.
Led by the Principal Race Officer (PRO), the Race Officers
organize the conduct of the actual races, setting the course, and starting the
race. The Umpires observe the racing and apply the RRSAC to the action,
penalizing teams as needed.
Amending the Rules:
The RRSAC were initially agreed by the Defender and the Challenger of Record. For 2013, modifying the RRSAC requires agreement of the Defender, COR, and a majority of the Competitor Forum. Article 13.3 of the 2013 Protocol for the America's Cup references the RRSAC.
Amending the format of the Louis Vuitton Cup as established in the RRSAC requires the Regatta Director and a majority of the Challengers still competing, but not the Defender.
The Sailing Instructions (see below) can be amended by the Regatta Director as necessary.

The Sailing Instructions are issued under the RRSAC, and are published before racing begins. The Sailing Instructions (SI's) are required to be issued 10 days before the first race, and can be amended by the Regatta Director as necessary. Though normal regatta practice typically has a Notice of Race (NOR), issued previous to the SI's, and sometimes long before, there was no formal NOR for the 2013 America's Cup. The Protocol effectively served as NOR.
America's Cup Match Sailing Instructions:
The Sailing Instructions for the 34th America's Cup were originally issued August 28, and last amended September 14, changing the status of Reserve Days.

many ruby/rubygem ports: death of rubyforge.org
rubyforge.org shutdown on May 15, 2014. This commit accounts for that by doing
several things:
- Deprecate ruby that had only rubyforge.org as MASTER_SITES (and so are now
only fetchable via our cache)
- Deprecate ports that depend on those
- Update the WWW pkg-descr line that points to rubyforge.org for rubygem ports
(which are still fetchable from rubygems.org)
The next step will be to remove rubyforge.org from bsd.sites.mk, after these
deprecated ports are deleted.

Convert all :U to :tu and :L to :tl
Since FreeBSD 8.4 and FreeBSD 9.1 make(1) do support :tu and :tl as a
replacement for :U and :L (which has been marked as deprecated)
bmake which is the default on FreeBSD 10+ only support by default
:tu/:tl a hack has been added at the time to support :U and :L to ease
migration. This hack is now not necessary anymore
Note that this makes the ports tree incompatible with make(1) from
FreeBSD 8.3 or earlier
With hat: portmgr
The FreeBSD x11@ and graphics team proudly presents
a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
Remove trailing whitespaces from category graphics
According to the Porter's Handbook (22.214.171.124.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com have been excluded.

This homemade honey buttermilk bread recipe is so easy that even a beginner can do it! It has a velvety crumb with a slightly sweet flavor from the honey. The honey buttermilk bread loaf rises high and light — it's perfect for kids (and adults) who only want the soft commercial kind! Images help you every step of the way. If you have a question be sure to ask on the Restless Chipotle Facebook page.
For this recipe you'll need: yeast, powdered ginger, sugar, buttermilk, honey, salt, baking soda, bread flour, unsalted butter. If you don't happen to have buttermilk try the Amish White Bread — It's a very similar recipe!
Click HERE to pin this easy bread recipe for later!
This honey buttermilk bread is so unbelievably light that it doesn't seem like a loaf of homemade bread. It's sweet but not too sweet – it makes a great sandwich no matter what the filling is. You can taste the honey but it's not overpowering at all. The image shows three loaves but the recipe is for just two. I make six loaves at a time because they go so fast around here!
Watch the Process of Making Homemade Buttermilk Bread
What Is Buttermilk?
Real buttermilk is a thing of the past. It used to be the liquid that was left after churning butter but now it is a combination of skim milk and other ingredients with a culture added — something like yogurt. The ingredient list is generally pretty long and has a lot of stuff in it that is either unpronounceable or just icky. I like making my own. You can buy the starter online or you can use a little of the commercial buttermilk to start it. Yes, you'll still get some of those icky ingredients but the amount is comparatively minute. Here is the post on how to make buttermilk if you haven't seen it before. It's so easy and you'll be amazed at the difference in your baked goods. .
My dad used to drink this stuff. He'd add some salt an pepper and then drink it down. I couldn't do it back then and I can't do it now — but I do love what it does for tenderizing meat and making amazing baked stuff.
Status: Bread Baking Expert
I have been making bread for 40 years. It was a shock when I realized that the other day. It totally freaked me out! I do not identify with the idea of what a grandmother should look like, nor do I ever want to. Still, 40 years of bread baking is significant I think.
My mom didn't bake. As I recall, I was lying on the couch one day, paging through a Seventeen magazine and they had a recipe for bread. I don't know if they still publish recipes but they used to. I was bored, it seemed like a cool 70's kind of thing to do, and why not? After all, the early 70s were all about artisan and handcrafted things.
In a lot of ways it wasn't so different from how it is now. In fact, neither am I — there's just more of me.
So I did it. I just followed the directions and there it was.
It was magical. The house smelled great and I had accomplished something I had never seen or done before. I'd never had homemade bread. Honestly, it was one of those moments that changed my life. It was an epiphany and would more or less guide my food life from that moment on.This homemade honey buttermilk bread recipe is so easy that even a beginner can do it! Click To Tweet
The result was delicious — I was hooked.
I wasn't allowed in the kitchen much but my parents did make an exception for my bread making endeavors. By the time I was sixteen I spent my days off from work experimenting with sour dough, rye, wheat, salt rising, oatmeal, and almost any other yeast bread you can imagine.
Homemade buttermilk bread has always been one of my favorites because of the texture, flavor, and puffy lightness.
It's kind of funny that I never baked a cake or cookies until after I was married, though. Talk about putting the cart before the horse, right?

Homemade Honey Buttermilk Bread Recipe
Here's that awesome honey buttermilk bread recipe! I really think you'll love it – it's the best bread ever.
If you've got leftover buttermilk give this buttermilk brined chicken a try.
- 1 tablespoon/packet yeast I usually use 1 because I buy in bulk.
- 1 pinch powdered ginger
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water 105F
- 2 cups warm buttermilk 105F
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 cups white bread flour divided use
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled so that it is warm to the touch but not hot.
In a medium sized bowl mix the yeast, ginger, sugar, and warm water.
Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy.
Whisk the buttermilk, honey, salt, and baking soda together and add it to the yeast mixture.
Add three cups of flour and mix until smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes on low of a stand mixer.
Pour in the butter until it is totally mixed into the batter.
Add the rest of the flour, one cup at a time, keeping mixer on low speed.
When dough pulls from the sides of the bowl remove it from the mixer to a lightly floured surface. Knead until elastic and smooth.
You can also knead in your mixer according to manufacturer's directions.
Place in greased bowl, turn to grease the top, and cover with a clean tea towel.
Allow the dough to rise for 1 1/2 hours, or until double.
Punch down and form into two loaves. Place in greased loaf pans and grease tops.
Cover, and allow to rise for 45 minutes, or until it is just about the tops of the bread pans.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Bake for 30 minutes. You can cover the tops with foil if they brown too fast.
Remove loaves from oven and brush with melted butter.
Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes.
Gently run a knife around the edge between the bread and the pan to loosen it.
Turn out and cool completely on a rack.
Cover the loaves if you want soft crusts.

The ad looked a little suspect, because the description says 2300mAH, but the picture shows a battery with 2200 mAH. I emailed the seller, and they told me that the both the pictures AND the description were inaccurate and batteries they had were actually rated 2400mAH.
Wondering if anyone has had experience with this particular seller or this kind of battery. Seems like they're having a sale currently until Monday, for the battery + door for only $9.52 which seems insanely cheap.
The Yoobao brand battery which was reviewed here is 2x as expensive:
So I figure I might take a chance with it. Any thoughts / advice would be appreciated.

Horde Report to Shadow Hunter Denjai
Bring Zurai's Report to Shadow Hunter Denjai at Zabra'jin in Zangarmarsh.
- Zurai's Report (Provided)
Shadow Hunter Denjai will no doubt expect to receive a report about my progress in establishing our outpost. I've prepared a short summary of what we've accomplished here already, but with the loss of Scout Jyoba, I can't spare a runner to take the report to Denjai's base of Zabra'jin to the west.
If you're headed that way, would you mind bringing this to him? Shadow Hunter Denjai can be a little intimidating at first, but once you get used to him, he's not so bad.

From Dumpster to Historic House
Felicia De Chabris has a thing for doors. She had been lugging around a kitchen door from a defunct restaurant in SoHo for about 18 years. In 2003, just before purchasing a home in the Jumel Terrace Historic District of Manhattan, she salvaged six authentic brownstone doors from a dumpster in Harlem.
"It would be criminal to see these doors and no one was taking them," said Ms. De Chabris, a real-estate agent and owner of this landmarked, 1882 row house where the doors now hang. "It was fortuitous for me."
Ms. De Chabris purchased the three-story home in 2003 for $655,000 and immediately began renovations. She stripped the home's moldings, pocket doors and fireplaces. The kitchen was revamped and the backyard was lowered to improve drainage.
She also replaced the home's hollow-core doors with the salvaged doors. The linen closet got the door from the restaurant—a slender, green door with 'push' on one side and 'pull' on the other—and the brownstone doors were used throughout the home, including the entrance to the master bedroom and the garden door.
Another feature with a back story is the home's new doorbell, which was recently installed by a production crew working on "Boardwalk Empire," an HBO series for which some scenes were shot on the cobblestone block. Martin Scorcese is an executive producer for the series that will debut in the fall.
Inside the home, which has three bedrooms and two baths, are more salvaged pieces, such as antique signs that Ms. De Chabris collected over the past 20 years.
Ms. De Chabris listed the home "very halfheartedly" in November for $1.1 million, but took it off the market shortly after. She relisted the home in June for $895,000 with her employer, Halstead Property.
"It's a darling house," said Ms. De Chabris, who plans to move to a smaller place in Harlem with her boyfriend and 16-year-old son. "I could give it a hug."

Rumor: Disney Making a Tower of Terror Movie?!
by Alex Billington
February 10, 2009
Source: Bloody Disgusting
It worked with Pirates of the Caribbean, so why not with the Tower of Terror, too? I'm not sure whether I'm excited to report this rumor or just nervous about it. According to Bloody Disgusting, Disney is working on turning their popular theme park ride into a movie. "While rights issues are still being worked out, the plan is to follow a group of characters that enter a bizarre world where nothing is as it seems." The ride is inspired by "The Twilight Zone" TV series and first opened in 1994. I also loved this ride and always went on it every time I went to their park, which is why I'm not sure whether I should be excited or not?
The story of the hotel, adapted from elements of the TV series, includes the hotel being struck by lightning on October 31st, 1939, mysteriously transporting an elevator full of passengers to the "Twilight Zone." The exterior resembles an old hotel with a blackened scorch mark across the front of the façade where the lightning destroyed part of the building. It's an awesome ride and I'm still mesmerized every time I ride it. As for the movie, I'm hoping that they go for a darker, more horrific story than something like that awful Haunted Mansion movie with Eddie Murphy. We'll let you know if this turns out to be true or not!
Apparently the Tower of Terror was turned into a TV movie back in 1997 that starred Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst. I don't ever remember seeing that, so I can't speak about it, but I'm sure Disney is not going to let it hold them back on this feature version of the ride. Could this turn out any good?

WILMINGTON (CBS) – A pedestrian was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 93 Thursday morning.
State police say the man was walking on the northbound side of the highway when he was hit around 11:30 a.m. He has been identified as Edward Ruff, 83, of Tewksbury.
Ruff had reportedly walked across four lanes of traffic to retrieve a hubcap from the grassy median. He then started to cross back over the highway to his parked car when he was hit in the rightmost travel lane.
The crash, between Exits 39 and 40, shut down two lanes of the highway for more than an hour.

The most important character is never seen in Arthur Miller's brilliant drama "All My Sons." That would be Larry Keller, a pilot declared missing in action during wartime three years before the play's action begins in the summer of 1947.
But Larry is always present, as evidenced by the often intense and enthralling production staged at the George Sorensen Theatre at downtown's Llano Estacado Institute for the Performing Arts.
'All My Sons'
When: 7:30 p.m. today, Friday and Sept. 21, and 2 p.m. Sunday and Sept. 22.
Where: George Sorensen Theatre at the Llano Estacado Institute for the Performing Arts, 1511 Texas Ave.
Tickets, information: $14 for adults, $8 for students and seniors. 762-7128.
The play takes place outside the Keller home, whose tree-lined yard and neighborly white picket fence belie the combustible combination of secrets and hope residing under the family's roof.
The play's father figure, Joe Keller, survived accusations of criminal impropriety when cracked cylinder heads were allowed to leave his airplane parts factory and, as a result, 21 American pilots' planes failed.
All 21 men died. Joe's former partner is in prison.
Adding to the drama is the presence of the imprisoned man's daughter, Ann, who once had been engaged to Larry. Her time for grieving has passed, and Ann is aware that Larry's brother, Chris, has asked her to visit so that he can propose.
The previous night found a storm's high winds destroying a tree that had been planted as a memorial for Larry. It soon be comes evident that the results of the storm can be interpreted in a number of ways, primarily because more than one character is harboring secrets.
Also explored are individual priorities and levels of morality. Some, after all, love and live only for family. But Miller also reveals an affinity for veterans who fought or flew beside one another in combat.
It takes a while for Joe to realize, "Sure, he (Larry) was my son. But I think, to him, they were all my sons."
The same bond is why Chris, a veteran who watched men die, refuses to forgive the convicted parts supplier.
Chris' mother hasn't ac cepted the possibility of Larry's death. No body was found, and she tries to keep her family to geth er by keeping Larry alive. She says Chris can't mar ry Ann because, "She's Larry's girl."
Ann's brother, George, also a war veteran, later arrives at the Kellers', confused, upset and armed with accusations.
But one character has kept hidden a secret weapon.
A fine ensemble cast is directed by theater namesake George Sorensen with economy and intelligence.
Chris Caddel as George reveals a sad affection upon meeting an old friend married to a man who stayed at home while he was off at war.
More apparent is Caddel's construction of a beaten man hating himself for lack of faith, hoping to take charge and stop the emotional family bleeding.
Austin Sanford is a standout as Chris, who responds with a shy grin when jokingly told that he's one of the very few adults who still loves his parents. Chris holds even his father to high standards "I never saw you as a man; I saw you as my father" and Sanford makes it easy to understand how even a man living in his brother's shadow can reach a point where he feels he has earned his own happiness.
Maternal love is emphasized by Lynn Elms, who even tries to settle arguments by telling a now grown boy from next door, "I diapered you." She resolutely believes that her oldest boy is alive somewhere, but the spark of madness disappears when she delivers her own warnings.
The role of husband and father Joe is interpreted in moving fashion by Richard Privitt as a man who dotes on family. He shines while exposing a heartfelt, if mistaken, theory that nothing could be bigger than family members' obli ga tion to forgive each other for any mistake, any transgression.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — Every girl dreams of the perfect wedding but planning for that day can be stressful. That's why hundreds of brides spent their Saturday at the WCBI and Columbus Main Street 21st annual Bridal Showcase to get ideas for their big day.
First comes the ring, then comes marriage.
Even though bride, Kelli Holloway, is four months away from saying "I do," she is taking advantage of the one-stop shop Columbus Bridal Showcase to help with last minute plans.
"I'm here today to get ideas for my reception I saw a photo booth over there. I'm also here to get ideas for my reception food," says Kelli Holloway.
From cake tasting to punch, Kelli and her maid of honor are finding ideas from dozens of vendors that can help any bride prepare for the perfect day.
"It's really good especially where you just get engaged and you have nothing planned they have wedding cakes here. They have photo booth for reception they have caters,says Holloway.
Other brides like Erica Shannon are using the bridal showcase to get a head start on the planning.
"We actually have a while before our wedding. Our wedding is June 2015 but I wanted to make sure I prep myself way ahead of time," says Erica Shannon.
Along with other wedding details, Erica hopes to find a photographer who can capture her magical day.
"I don't want my photography to be so staged. I just want to be natural and just everyone beautiful pictures," says Shannon.
One detail Erica still hasn't decided on, is the dress.
"It's such a great opportunity to get to talk to brides and to show them some of things that we have to explain to them how our procedures are and just give them an opportunity to see some thing that we do that they may not otherwise have," says Nikki Thomas.
Vendors like Kay's Kreations from Tupelo specialize in finding the perfect dress for bride, mother, and bridesmaids while first time vendor, Angie Summerlin, create the wedding atmosphere.
"We love to do weddings. We're a full service so we do your…you don't have to worry about anything. We are a one-stop so you just come and pick out everything. Your flowers, your cakes, your linens and we make it happen," says Angie Summerlin.
Whether you're searching for the perfect dress or cake, the Bridal showcase will help any bride find what she is looking for.
Several prizes were given out to brides from the different vendors.

Trade Deadline can be tense time in clubhouse
Trade Deadline can be tense time in clubhouse
Players have asked Cubs manager Dale Sveum for updates.
"Ninety percent of the time there's no substance to all the things that are talked about," Sveum said.
He pointed out how the 10-player deal between the Astros and Blue Jays surprised a lot of people. However, when the Cubs were pursuing Matt Garza, that was leading the rumor mill for about two months.
"That's the 10 percent," Sveum said, laughing.
Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer knows it's a tense time in the clubhouse.
"You don't want to be a seller," Hoyer said. "All the guys on your team sit there and look over their shoulder. I think everyone exhales after the Deadline for that reason. I think every player on that field has been part of some rumor at some point this year, even Starlin [Castro] for a while -- that rumor was out there, which was unfounded."

Kim Kardashian Divorce: 'Humphries Family Making Kris Victim,' Says Reality Star
Kim Kardashian's fleeting marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries may not have been entirely Kim's fault. The reality star claims that the rudeness of the Humphries family is partially to blame, TMZ reported.
Kim told friends it was "ridiculous" that the Humphries family is "making Kris look like the victim," and that he was envious of her business savvy and ambition.
The Humphries have been quoted saying divorce is a "mistake." According to TMZ, Kris has stated to several people that he does not believe in divorce.
The 72-day marriage ended, apparently, over disagreements between the directions the couple would take in terms of their career and families. Kris told The New York Post that he intended for the nuptials to transform Kim into a woman who valued family and wanted to move to Minnesota to have children.
Kim responded to Kris's notions of the traditional marriage by saying, "How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?"
The actress doesn't entirely fault their miscommunication as the reason for the split, however.
The fact that the Humphries "belittled" her and were "nasty" to the Kardashians was reportedly captured on film, presumably during the taping of one of Kim's reality shows.
Kim claims that Kris's assertions of a loving and supportive family are completely false. His family's disrespect was part of the pressure that caused the marriage to crumble, a TMZ source reported.
Surrounding the pending divorce is an assortment of rumors.
One of the most popular is that Kim and Kris made over $17 million in profits from the wedding. The Post reported that the E! News two-part special, "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event," was expected to make $12 to $15 million alone.
People Magazine received exclusive photography rights for a hefty $2.5 million.
Despite these claims, the Kardashians maintain that the power couple lost money on the wedding and did not profit in anyway.
If Kim and Kris did receive the alleged millions from the event, it could mean the wedding was simply a publicity stunt to boost both stars, and of course, Kim's various fragrances, books, and reality shows.
Regardless of the motives for the pair's brief marriage and public divorce, Kris says he still loves Kim and wants to be married to her. "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce," he told People Magazine, "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."

I appreciate that your interpretation may have been your original intent, but the scope of the language in the standard is far, far greater than "JSON text SHALL be interpreted as a stream of disjoint Unicode code points.", which is what you are arguing that the standard means.
Unless you can make a compelling argument with language from the RFC 4627 standard, the standard clearly and plainly says that the JSON text is encoded in Unicode. This means that the text must conform to the Unicode standard, and it's rules for processing and handling text MUST (via the use of SHALL in RFC 4627) be followed.
> By receiver I mean the program that ultimately receives the message. It can interpret it and process it or damage it or ignore it as it will. What it does with the data is none of my business. The JSON channel itself must do none of those things.Surely you realize that in practice, this is not the way that things are done. All of the JSON libraries are effectively "part of the JSON channel".
There is a clear demarcation point where a piece of text has ceased to be JSON and has (usually) become an instantiated data structure in the host language.
How and what the "language" does with the data is not relevant to RFC 4627. The "language" may manipulate the JSON data, examining keys, manipulating them in any way it chooses. But at this point, it very clearly has ceased to be "JSON".
Every JSON implementation that is in the form of a library for a host language that I'm aware of could be interpreted to be "the program that ultimately receives the message". The libraries parse the JSON and transliterate it in to a form useable by the host language. How and what the host language, or program written by someone to enumerate or manipulate the data structure that was instantiated from the original JSON is obviously outside the scope of RFC 4627.
My pedantic point is: A JSON implementation, in the form of a library that provides bindings between a host language and JSON (of which there are many), MUST NOT arbitrarily delete characters in the original JSON. Furthermore, any such implementation MUST interpret the original JSON text in accordance with the Unicode Standard. Just like RFC 4627 gives a grammar and rules for how to interpret JSON, the Unicode Standard has rules for how to interpret text encoded as Unicode. Unicode is not just a simple set of code points.
Another issue is normalization. In particular, the way normalization is handled for the "key" portion of an "object" (i.e., {"key": "value"}) can dramatically alter the meaning and contents of the object. For example:
"\u212b": "one",
"\u0041\u030a": "two",
"\u00c5": "three"
Are these three keys distinct? Should there be a requirement that they MUST be handled and interpreted such that they are distinct? Does that requirement extend past the "channel" demarcation point (i.e., not a JSON library or communication channel used to interchange the JSON between two hosts) to the "host language"?
In case it is not obvious, under the rules of Unicode NFC (Normalization Form C), all three of the keys above will become "\u00c5" after NFC processing.
A first order approximation would seem to suggest that a JSON implementation "should" use the precomposed form for keys, and for objects that contain keys with non-precomposed keys that, when converted to their precomposed form are duplicate with other keys, the behavior is undefined.
Again, this is another point where the use of Unicode introduces an awful lot of non-obvious dependencies. The Unicode standard has a lot to say about what it means for two strings to "compare equal", and since JSON specifies what is essentially a key/value hash table, it is critically important to define what "equal" means for a key. If the keys were ASCII or Binary, this would probably be a non-issue, but its a pretty big one when you're dealing with Unicode.
> Tell you what. If you ever encounter a real problem, we will deal with that.This is a rather snarky comment, and to be blunt, unprofessional and unfair.
Every point I've raised here is something that an implementor of a JSON library will likely encounter. As an implementor of such a library (for Objective-C), everything I've raised here is something that took an enormous amount of time and consideration.
In my case, I've had to deal with the subtle nuances of what happens to a Unicode string when I parse it and then hand that parsed string off to another library to instantiate a string object. I have no control over how this external library (a combination of Foundation and Core Foundation) deals with or interprets various aspects of the Unicode Standard. For the sake of argument, if this external library automatically precomposes all strings it instantiates, and I have to uses those instantiated strings as the keys in a NSDictionary (the equivalent of a JSON object), I've got some problems.
Your snarky comment ignores the real world complexities that one faces when attempting to create a "RFC 4627 compliant" JSON implementation, at least if one is trying to do so "the right way" as opposed to a quick hack JSON implementation.
For someone who is creating a JSON library or some other form of a JSON implementation, the corner cases are usually far more important than the obvious, common case.

When a String contains actual textual data, each element is considered to be a single UTF-16 code unit. Whether or not this is the actual storage format of a String, the characters within a String are numbered by their initial code unit element position as though they were represented using UTF-16. All operations on Strings (except as otherwise stated) treat them as sequences of undifferentiated 16-bit unsigned integers; they do not ensure the resulting String is in normalised form, nor do they ensure language-sensitive results.
NOTE The rationale behind this design was to keep the implementation of Strings as simple and high-performing as possible. The intent is that textual data coming into the execution environment from outside (e.g., user input, text read from a file or received over the network, etc.) be converted to Unicode Normalised Form C before the running program sees it. Usually this would occur at the same time incoming text is converted from its original character encoding to Unicode (and would impose no additional overhead). Since it is recommended that ECMAScript source code be in Normalised Form C, string literals are guaranteed to be normalised (if source text is guaranteed to be normalised), as long as they do not contain any Unicode escape sequences.

IMHO, the ECMA-262 standard advocates that "stuff that happens outside the ECMA-262 environment should be treated as if it is NFC".
Since the sine qua non of JSON is the interchange of information between different environments and implementations, it must address any issues that can and will cause difficulties. Like it or not, the fact that it's Unicode means these things can and will happen, and it's simply not practical to expect or insist that every implementation treat JSON Strings as "just a simple array of Unicode Code Points".

But.... so what? Unicode is not simple. I'm not the one who made it that way, but the way that RFC 4627 is written, you must deal with it. There are ways RFC 4627 could have been written such that the JSON to be parsed is considered a stream of 8 bit bytes, and therefore stripped of its Unicode semantics (if any). However, it very clearly and plainly says "JSON text SHALL be encoded in Unicode.", which pretty much kills the idea that you can just treat it as raw bytes.
There's a saying about formalized standards: The standard is right. Even it's mistakes.
As an aside, there is a RFC for "Unicode Format for Network Interchange", RFC 5198 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5198). It is 18 pages long. RFC 4627 is just 9 pages.
Actually, I would encourage people to read RFC 5198. I'm not sure I agree with all of it, but it goes over a lot of the issues I think are very relevant to this conversation. It's great background info if you're not familiar with the details.

FRISCO, Texas – What could have been a lost road trip for the Springfield Armor turned into a NBA D-League Eastern Conference Championship.
The Armor (29-21) lost an 18-point first-half lead and fell behind by as many as five points before digging out a 105-98 victory over the Texas Legends (24-26) in the regular-season finale for both teams on Saturday night.
Earlier in the evening, the Dakota Wizards – which were a game ahead of the Armor in the Eastern Conference – fell to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, 99-98. That allowed the Armor to move into the top spot and claim its first conference title.
The victory polished off a tremendous turnaround for the Armor, who went a combined 20-80 in its first two D-League seasons. Springfield will start postseason action next week.
"This is a tremendous accomplishment for our players and our organization," Armor coach Robert MacKinnon said. "It's a reward for their hard work this season."
Springfield's players found out immediately after the game that they had won the conference title and celebrated as they walked down the tunnel to the locker room.
L.D. Williams, who finished with 19 points, had reason to lead that celebration. Williams' near three-point play helped start the comeback for the Armor. His basket with 4:37 left cut the lead to 91-89. He missed his free throw, but teammate Jeff Foote – who scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds – grabbed the loose ball and was fouled. He made one free throw to cut the lead to one.
Jerry Smith – who led the Armor with 20 points — followed up on the next possession with a three-point play off a made dunk and foul that gave Springfield a 93-91 lead.
Sean Williams, who was one of two Legends with 20 points, tied the game at 93-93 with 3:57 left on a jumper. But L.D. Williams put the Armor up for good with a long 3-pointer, the 10th triple of the night for Springfield. On the next possession, Lance Hurdle gave the Armor a 98-93 lead with 2:24 left.
The Armor maintained the lead from there, helped by another 3-pointer, this time by Hurdle, who ended up with 14 points.
While Springfield's 3-point shooting made a difference to its victory, the Legends' night at the line helped keep them in the game. Texas shot an impressive 39-of-45 from the free throw line off of 28 Springfield fouls. That included a 9-of-10 night for Dominique Johnson, who scored 20 points.

Another step in the restoration of traditional Roman Catholic spirituality in Russia was taken on October 15: Mgr. Athanasius Schneider, the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Maria Sanctissima in Astana (Kazakhstan), celebrated a Solemn Pontifical Mass at the historic church of St. Louis in Moscow. Serving was an international team of clergy representing three different religious institutes: Canon Gwenaël Cristofoli ICRSS was the assistant priest, Fr. Vitaly Leontiev FSSP served as deacon, and Fr. Michał Jermaszkiewicz OP acted as subdeacon. Abbé Louis Valadier was the primary master of ceremonies. Fr. Igor Kowalewski, the parish priest of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul parish (which shares the church with the parish of St. Louis) assisted in choro. The choir under the direction of Mr. Timur Dosayev sang beautiful pieces of sacred polyphony.
This Holy Mass began the three-day conference of scholars, entitled "Catholic Church in the USSR in the 1920s and 30s" and held by Una Voce Russia with the support of the Archdiocese of Mother of God of Moscow.

"Another step in the restoration of traditional Roman Catholic spirituality in Russia" would be a Russian Catholic Byzantine Liturgy rather than the 1962 book of the Latins.

In response to Ben, regarding the celebration of the Russian Byzantine Catholic Liturgy:
It is my understanding that the Russian Byzntine Catholic liturgy is a very sensitive topic for the Orthodox, and I suspect that a high profile celebration of that liturgy would cause some problems. I know that a Byzantine Rite Liturgy is celebrated regularly at a Latin Rite parish in St. Petersburg, but the celebration is not very widely advertised. In fact, I got the sense that they didn't want too many people to know about it. Mind you, it has been more than a year since I was a regular Mass attendant at that St. Petersburg parish, so maybe things have changed since then.

Guys. Let me tell you something. We love Slavo-Byzantine liturgy. We admire Slavo-Byzantine liturgy. We want Slavo-Byzantine to be kept and cherished, with all its beauty, by the Byzantine Catholics in Russia as well as in Ukraine (where it now undergoes "reforms") and everywhere in the world. BUT. There have always been Latin-rite Catholics in Russia, the first Latin-rite communities appearing in the Middle Ages and then during the reign of tzar Peter the Great (d. 1725) and since then remaining here uninterruptedly. At first, they were mostly Western expats (but expats living in Russia for generations, speaking Russian as their mother tongue, and serving Russian tzars and emperors); then, as soon as it became legally possible after 1905, there were numerous ethnic Russian converts of whom some wanted Byzantine rite, and we respect them, but some wanted Latin rite. Yes, there are, thanks be to God, Slavo-Byzantine Catholic communities in many places in Russia, and even in Moscow. But Latin Catholics are still the majority here, and they (we) are very much entitled to having the traditional liturgy of the Church of Rome that we belong to. Thanks for understanding that.
P.S.: For a Catholic, Latin or Byzantine or whatever, there ain't such a thing as a "third Rome". There is but one Rome, Urbs Aeterna, and we don't want any other.

Latin is the official Language of the Western Latin Catholic Church not the whole Church. Much like Greek is the official language for the Greek Catholic Church not the whole church or Coptic is the official language for the Coptic Catholic Church.

Would I need 17 rounds? Probably not. These thugs are basically cowards and pick on unarmed people. I would submit that one guy with a revolver could have turned them away. The crowd mentality only works if you're not the guy in front getting shot.
I do find it interesting how when a strategy is used effectively against us by others, we downgrade the users with a derogatory personality trait classification, but when our folks employ similar strategies, they are considered to be smart strategies used by brave people.
It is not cowardice that to attack a target in a manner for which the target doesn't have much chance to respond effectively. That is why groups like SWAT wear full body armor, carry what they expect to be superior fire power, come with vastly superior numbers, and use tactics such as surprise, speed, violence of action, and even the cover of darkness to conduct their operations. There is a very good reason why a SWAT team isn't a single person in spandex bike shorts and a neon shirt armed with a warrant, badge, and a gun.
Risk reduction is a strategy applied successfully across human cultures and the animal kingdom. There is a very good reason top tier carnivores don't primarily prey on each other. The risk is too high. Risk can be reduced by methods such as using superior numbers, better armor, picking weaker targets, using surprise, speed, violence of action, and sometimes using the cover of darkness.
We can call the bad guys cowards because we don't like it that their tactics do work with an amount of success that causes us discomfort to consider, but the fact remains that the tactics and strategies are ones that work, that we used ourselves, and that are designed to reduce risk such that even if you aren't successful, then at least chance of injury is reduced.

The official seat of Kankakee County, Illinois, the city of Kankakee features a resident population of approximately 27,000. Kankakee's diverse cultural environment and well-established economic infrastructure may prove to be compelling for business owners seeking commercial space for rent or office space for rent in any of the neighborhood zones here. Rental property for lease in Kankakee can become an affordable and advantageous opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking to establish themselves in both the city and state at large.
Featuring a median household income that is significantly lower than state averages, the majority of the residents here are classified within the lower-middle class / lower class income brackets. Because of this, business owners may find it somewhat difficult to establish a lucrative retail establishment here. That being said, house prices and overall cost of living in Kankakee are markedly less than in many of the larger communities in the state, allowing residents to enjoy a level of purchasing power they may not have elsewhere. Common occupations in Kankakee include positions within the manufacturing and construction industries. Unemployment remains somewhat high here following the 2008 financial crisis, due in large part to the fact that the manufacturing industries in Illinois were severely affected by the recession.
On a demographic level, Kankakee is quite diverse, with significant populations of both Caucasians and African Americans. The city is home to the Kankakee County Community College, which offers undergraduate education and certificate programs to many of the residents here. Of additional interest here are a variety of city landmarks, including two homes designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Residents of Kankakee can take advantage of the Amtrak station running through the city for transportation within the state.
Depending upon the specific type of business that individuals are hoping to establish in Kankakee, a variety of properties may be suitable for lease. Retail establishments typically cluster in the Downtown region of Kankakee, which, while quite small, remains the center of economic activity here. Manufacturing enterprises are typically located on the outskirts of community. Due to the relatively small size of Kankakee, business owners may find it somewhat difficult to find a property that precisely matches their needs and expectations. That being said, the affordability of these properties may prove to be quite compelling.

Folk music has changed a lot throughout the ages. With two completely diverse revivals throughout the last two centuries, it's hard to keep track of it all. Luckily, some things haven't changed. Thanks to Jack, resident Folk Director and head DJ on The Folk Show, quality folk music is here to stay on WUNH.
Even for those who know him by his voice alone, Jack's passion for Folk music is clear. "My love for folk music and all things traditional began in the early 70s while I was in high school", he recalls. "I started reading about and then listening to Woody Guthrie, and, about the same time, I saw the great guitarist Elizabeth Cotton on public television. To my amazement a few years later I was shopping with her for a winter coat before a Taj Mahal show in Boston." He's also known in the field. "Eventually I helped produce a recording of contra dance music for the Smithsonian Folkways label, Choose Your Partners, and there's even been a dance tune composed for me, Jack Beard's Jig."
"The Folk Show" has been going since the 70's, so it has clearly encompassed a wide array of music. "My definition of folk includes Cajun, blues, ethnic, gospel, bluegrass, etc. etc. as well as the more commonly recognized tradition of the singer songwriter. I try to do things just a little bit outside of the ordinary and I like the idea that a listener might never know what's coming next". Jack even goes so far as to look behind the music, reading into song lyrics or the reasons why songs were written in the first place. "I also love to explore the history and stories behind the music."
This year, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Woody Guthrie's birth, The Folk Show is entirely dedicated to him. "Without Woody there wouldn't be the folk scene that we know or even the Bob Dylan that we know." Each show, Jack provides some sort of tribute to the artist, whether through song, lyrical reading, or any other creative way of integration. "What better way to explore the complex multi-faceted artist that is Woody than through his words and music."
Jack also occasionally has live music, speaking volumes to the audiences who love and appreciate folk music. "Sunday, Dec. 2, Ed Gerhard will be stopping by the Folk Show to perform live," he informs. "Ed's career was just getting started about the same time I was getting started in radio. He is now known world wide in guitar circles but he continues to find time to visit the Folk Show."
Check out Jack and The Folk Show every Sunday 10-12pm right here on WUNH, Durham!

The last injured firefighter hospitalized following a Kensington warehouse blaze that killed two other firefighters was released from the hospital Tuesday.
Firefighter Pat Nally was back home in the Holmesburg section of the city after spending more than a week at Temple University Hospital.
Before heading home, he asked to stop by the memorial set up at Ladder 10 in honor of his two fallen comrades. He described to NBC10's Claudia Rivero the emotions he felt when he saw the tribute.
"Very tough, it got me all worked up," Nally said. "I miss my brothers, I was happy to go down and see what a great job everybody did with all the flowers and stuff, that made me feel happy."
Nally suffered a back injury and has a broken pelvis. He's a five-year veteran of Ladder 16, and says he can't wait to return to his job.
The five-alarm fire broke out just before 3:30 a.m. on April 9 at an abandoned warehouse at 1817 East York Street in Kensington.
Around 6 a.m. -- after the fire was brought under control -- Nally and other firefighters were investigating an extension of the factory fire at an adjacent furniture store when the rear wall of that building collapsed, according to firefighters.
Five firefighters were trapped. One got out on his own while Nally and Francis Cheney were rescued about 30 minutes later. Cheney was treated and released the same day of the blaze.
Lt. Robert Neary, 60, and Firefighter Daniel Sweeney, 25, were found about two hours after the collapse. Both men died.
- Fallen Hero Remembered
- "We Lost Some Real Good Heroes Today"
- 3 Homes Destroyed in Factory Fire
- Fatal Property Owners Were Cited by City
- L&I Documents on YML Realty
Also on Tuesday Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams' office announced that a grand jury would investigate the blaze and see if any charges are warranted.
No cause of the blaze has been released at this point.

I'm in the process of moving into a new place this weekend. The entire moving process is interesting because it forces you to make decisions about things that have been sitting around your house for the last several months/years without being used or even touched. With your belongings, it's one big game of �What have you done for me lately?�
The intense level of scrutiny that must be passed for something to make it from your old residence to the new one is akin to reviewing federal laws (that would actually be strict scrutiny, and I was able to recall that because of the Mass Media Law textbook that has been collecting dust on my bookshelf for the past five years). My theory is that you will be much more harsh in your judgment of an object that has sentimental value depending on its weight in pounds multiplied by the flights of stairs you'll have to deal with in order to keep it.
You have to come to grips with the fact that your great grandmother's old Remington typewriter is probably getting thrown off the balcony and won't be making it to the truck.
The other side to the moving process that makes it almost fun is the time capsule aspect. In our youth, many of us had a teacher who asked us to put some belongings into a box and seal it until we graduated from high school, got married, had kids, etc. While that capsule is probably buried in your parents' basement, we sort of create our own time capsule by hanging onto various items that we incorrectly think will have future value.
Next time you move, count the number of extra cables and phone chargers you find scattered throughout your possessions. It's staggering.
Part of the reason we're stuck with things that simply cannot help us is fear of getting burned at that moment where the object in question would come in very handy. Hey, if anyone needs the instruction manual for a Palm Centro, I've got that. I've also got a VHS-C playback tape if you're rocking a camcorder from the turn of the millennium.
Look at your roster right now. How many of you out there have been holding onto a player since before the start of the season, only to get nothing useful from him in return? The next 48 hours of my life will be consumed with chucking unwanted stuff into a dumpster or hauling it off to be donated to a thrift store. Let's just say I'm ready to trim the fat from my fantasy rosters as well.
Brett Favre, QB, MIN � Forget about the text messages and hilarious SNL skits popping up about old No. 4. Whether Brad Childress pulls the plug on him in Week 8 or not, Favre is broken. He's currently 28th among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, a far cry from the top-tier player he was during his first season in Minnesota. To make matters worse, Favre has difficult matchups against the Giants and Bears once the fantasy playoffs begin (Week 14 and Week 15), so there's not as much promise here as you might think with a talented supporting cast around him. Let this also be a reminder that if you've got Peyton Manning or Tom Brady as your quarterback, this is the time of year where it's acceptable to trade away or cut bait on your backup in order to manage your roster more advantageously at other positions since their bye weeks have passed.
Alex Smith, QB, SF � On a per-game basis, Smith ranks 22nd in the NFL among quarterbacks in fantasy points scored per game. He's expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a left (non-throwing) shoulder sprain, meaning that you may not see him back until Week 11. Enter Troy Smith, a backup quarterback who at least has upside (something David Carr lacks) and in a season that has gone terribly wrong in the city by the bay, could be the starter even after the former No. 1 overall pick is healthy enough to play again. You'd be better off dropping Smith immediately and picking up Jon Kitna for the six-to-eight weeks that he's under center in place of Tony Romo.
Jahvid Best, RB, DET � Over his last four games, Best has found the end zone while picking up just 274 yards from scrimmage. It translates to being ranked 38th in fantasy points among running backs during that span, behind the likes of Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead and Derrick Ward. Perhaps a Week 7 bye can cure his turf toe once and for all, but Best was limited in practice during the week and really hasn't done much since going off against the Eagles in Week 2. It's time to trade him away if you've got a willing taker in your league.
Mike Tolbert, RB, SD � He's riding a four-game scoring streak, but do you really trust him in your lineup for a 10 or even a 12-team league? The Chargers have been falling behind in a lot of games, which has limited the chances of both Tolbert and primary back Ryan Mathews. Go elsewhere for the home-run option at running back, because you're going to be in a very bad way if things on your roster lead to Tolbert maintaining a place in your weekly lineup.
Cadillac Williams, RB, TAM � He's going to lose the bulk of the touches to LeGarrette Blount at some point. Even before that happens, you're living in the past like Uncle Rico if you think that he's going to come through with big performances on a week-to-week basis for you. Even in a bye situation, aren't you more comfortable scrounging for a back on the waiver wire than you are plugging in a run-down Cadillac? Over the last four games, he's picked up just 76 yards on 31 carries. Unless you're in a PPR league (23 receptions in six games), you're holding onto a commodity that was only going to help you a few years ago.
Tashard Choice, RB, DAL � First and foremost, Dallas doesn't even like to run the ball all that much. Second, the limited workload in the running game has been given mostly to Felix Jones. Choice has eight carries for 21 yards this season and three catches for four yards. Sure, there's a lot to like here if both Jones and Marion Barber go down with serious injuries, but you're better off betting against two serious injuries and looking elsewhere for running back depth if there are more involved options getting touches for their respective teams currently on the waiver wire.
Wes Welker, WR, NE � In non PPR leagues, you should carefully consider whether Welker belongs in your starting lineup � or even on your roster at this point. Without having Randy Moss to give opposing secondaries fits, Welker's production has been down in recent weeks to the tune of 11 catches for 78 yards in the Pats' first two games since Moss was traded to Minnesota. For the season, he ranks just 37th in WR fantasy points and most of his damage was done in the first two games of the season when he caught all three of his touchdown passes. At least Welker has name value, which is a good reason to trade him away now for help elsewhere on your roster since cutting him seems too much like a missed opportunity to acquire talent.
Mike Sims-Walker & Mike Thomas, WR, JAC � MSW has been a model of inconsistency for the Jags this season, struggling to be involved in the offensive game plan some weeks and chipping in two donuts (Week 1 v. DEN, Week 4 v. IND) to boot. Three TD receptions have kept some owners holding on and likely mis-timing the market while trying to squeeze value out of him. Over the last five games, Sims-Walker has caught just 11 passes for 134 yards and a pair scores, ranking 42nd in fantasy points scored at receiver during that span.
Thomas was showing signs of being the Jags' top wideout option with three decent games (17 catches for 207 yards in Weeks 4-6) before getting shut down by Brandon Flowers and company in Week 7. At 5-foot-8, Thomas isn't going to be much of a target in the red zone, which has ultimately led to more passes thrown in the direction of tight end Marcedes Lewis. Quarterback play has been an issue as well, with David Garrard averaging just 6.5 YPA this season.
Early Doucet, WR, ARI � Sure, there was breakout potential here if Derek Anderson regained his 2007 form. Instead, Anderson is riding the pine to an undrafted rookie in Max Hall. To make matters worse, Doucet was hurt when Steve Breaston was sidelined by knee surgery, so he could take advantage of the window to grab a starting spot. There is talent here, but Hall's struggles have significantly hurt the value of Larry Fitzgerald for the rest of 2010 and even if you were holding onto Doucet hoping he'd come back and provide value following hernia surgery, you're on a path to disappointment.
Heath Miller, TE, PIT � Twice in the last three seasons, Miller has finished among the league's top-10 tight ends in fantasy points. That won't happen this year, and he's been hurt by the continued productivity of Hines Ward as well as the improvement from second-year receiver Mike Wallace. His early-season struggles were attributed to Ben Roethlisberger's four-game suspension, but Miller's role in the offense didn't blow up with Big Ben's return in Week 6. You could certainly do worse now that tight end has been ravaged by serious injuries, but at this point, I would rather own Detroit's Brandon Pettigrew or even the Pats' Aaron Hernandez if either are available on the wire.
