Despite the conventional wisdom that proactive security is superior to reactive security, we show that reactive security can be competitive with proactive security as long as the reactive defender learns from past attacks instead of myopically overreacting to the last attack. Our game-theoretic model follows common practice in the security literature by making worst case assumptions about the attacker: we grant the attacker complete knowledge of the defender's strategy and do not require the attacker to act rationally. In this model, we bound the competitive ratio between a reactive defense algorithm (which is inspired by online learning theory) and the best fixed proactive defense. Additionally, we show that, unlike proactive defenses, this reactive strategy is robust to a lack of information about the attacker's incentives and knowledge.

Kevin Drum writes The Truth About the Trust Fund. I didn't know this...
"Back in 1983, we made a deal. The deal was this: for 30 years poor people would overpay their taxes, building up the trust fund and helping lower the taxes of the rich. For the next 30 years, rich people would overpay their taxes, drawing down the trust fund and helping lower the taxes of the poor. Well, the first 30 years are about up. And now the rich are complaining about the deal that Alan Greenspan cut back in 1983."
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Medical doctors, or physicians, are highly trained healthcare professionals who perform medical examinations, diagnose illnesses, prescribe drugs, and treat patients suffering from injury or disease using a variety of techniques.
Physicians serve in all types of communities, from rural to inner city, and in a wide variety of settings, from private practice to clinics and hospitals. They also work in specialized settings, such as homeless shelters, schools, sports programs, prisons, nursing homes, third-world countries, and the armed forces. About one-third of the nation's physicians are generalists, or "primary care" doctors, although that percentage is declining as more physicians choose to become specialists. Generalists include fields such as internists, family physicians, and pediatricians. Specialists focus on a particular system or part of the body; examples include neurologists, hematologists, cardiologists, and podiatrists, to name only a few.
Physicians also serve in research, studying and developing new treatments for disease, in academia, sharing their skills by educating medical students, in health organizations, pharmaceutical companies, medical technology manufacturing, health insurance companies, and in corporations with health and safety programs.
There are five primary fields in medicine: Allopathic, Chiropractic, Naturopathic, Osteopathic, and Podiatric, all of which diagnose and treat disease.
- Allopathic physicians (MDs, or Doctors of Medicine) focus on diagnosing and treating disease; treatments include prescription medication and surgery. Allopathic medicine offers both primary care and a large number of specializations, but many MDs specialize.
- Chiropractic physicians (DCs, or Doctors of Chiropractic) focus on the promotion of health through the alignment of the musculoskeletal structure. DCs do not use invasive procedures such as surgery.
- Naturopathic physicians (NDs, or Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine) focus on maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness through lifestyle choices and natural remedies such as acupuncture, reflexology, and homeopathy. NDs do not use invasive procedures such as surgery.
- Osteopathic physicians (DOs, or Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine) focus on diagnosing and treating disease with an emphasis on primary care, holistic evaluation, and the prevention of diseases. DOs can specialize but many work in primary care. DOs receive training in the manipulation of the musculoskeletal structure, also known as osteopathic manipulative medicine, or OMM, in addition to the core medical training. The scope of practice for MDs and DOs is very similar.
- Podiatric physicians (DPMs, or Doctors of Podiatric Medicine) focus on the diagnosis and treatment of issues, conditions and diseases concerning the foot and ankle. Podiatric medicine is an early specialization of allopathic medicine and includes the prescription of medications and surgery.

UK consumer confidence has fallen this month to its lowest level since April, with people less enthusiastic about the economic situation.
The fall is revealed in the latest monthly barometer conducted by pollster GfK on behalf of the European Union. GfK's UK consumer confidence index dipped from plus-1 in June to minus-2 in July, having been at zero in May.
The deterioration mainly reflected a shift in consumers' view of the general economic situation over the last 12 months and the coming year, although sub-indices covering people's personal financial situations, past and future, and the climate for major purchases also fell.
Loading article content
Nick Moon, managing director of social research at GfK, said: "No sooner had the index crossed into positive territory last month - for the first time in nearly 10 years - than it fell back into the negative. All five of the component parts of the index fell this month, with four-point drops in both the questions about the country's general economic situation being particularly noticeable.
"The almost relentless rise of the last six months couldn't continue indefinitely, and the government will be hoping this is just a temporary setback rather than the forerunner of a wider decline in confidence."
The drop in confidence has come as speculation has mounted that the first rise in UK base rates from their record low of 0.5 per cent may not be far away. Economists are expecting an increase later this year or in early 2015.

Last weekend it was the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards; this weekend it's the big one as far as sport in the North-East is concerned. After a roller-coaster 12 months, Chief Sports Writer Scott Wilson selects the winners of The Northern Echo's North-East Sport Awards.
AFTER claiming a bronze medal at 2008's Beijing Olympics, it would have been no surprise if 2009 had been something of a comedown for Richmond swimmer Jo Jackson. Instead, the last 12 months have been the most successful period in the 23- year-old's life.

Her stellar spell began in March, when she smashed the 400m freestyle world record at the British Championships in Sheffield.
Leaving double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington trailing in her wake, Jackson, a former member of Derwentside ASC, chipped almost nine-tenths of a second off the existing record.
She would lose the record later in the year, when it was reclaimed by Italian Federica Pellegrini, but her world-best performance provided a glimpse of what was to come in the summer.
At July's World Championships in Rome, Jackson claimed three medals, the biggest haul ever achieved by a British swimmer at a single World event.
Jackson claimed silver medals in the 400m and 800m freestyle, and also won a bronze in the 4x200m freestyle relay to cement her status as Britain's new heroine of the pool.
Runner-up: PAUL COLLINGWOOD – The Durham all-rounder helped England reclaim the Ashes in the summer, and played a pivotal role in the recent oneday series victory in South Africa.
Third: IAN BLACKWELL – The former Somerset allrounder took ten more wickets than any other Durham spinner has achieved in a season, and posted figures of 7-85 against Lancashire, the best recorded by a Durham spinner.
2008: Tony Jeffries
2007: Paul Collingwood
2006: Graeme Storm
IF you had polled 100 Newcastle supporters about who they wanted as their manager in the wake of last season's relegation at Aston Villa, it's a fair bet that none would have said 'Chris Hughton'.
The former assistant was appointed as caretaker manager at the start of preseason, however, and has transformed the Magpies' fortunes in the last six months, guiding them to the top of the Championship table.
His quiet, undemonstrative style has provided a welcome contrast to the chaos that continues to exist in the St James' Park boardroom, and he is now a respected figure among players and supporters alike.
Runner-up: MARK JOHNSTON – The Middleham trainer recorded the 200th win of his most successful calendar year to date when Corsica won at Ayr in late October.
Third: STEVE BATES – The Newcastle Falcons director of rugby allowed a host of bigname players to leave in the summer, but has still guided his new-look side to seventh in the Guinness Premiership and top of their Amlin Challenge Cup pool.
2008: Geoff Cook
2007: Roy Keane
2006: Fabulous Flournoy
Di Venuto performed heroics with the bat as Durham retained their County Championship title in style.
The Tasmanian's 1,601 Championship runs were a Durham record, and were recorded at an average of more than 80.
His stand-out performance came in August's home game against Sussex, with an unbeaten 254, his highest first-class score, helping Durham to a nine-wicket win.
Runner-up: CARL HAYMAN – The Newcastle Falcons captain has helped transform the side's pack into one of the most highly-rated units in the Guinness Premiership.
Third: FABULOUS FLOURNOY – The Newcastle Eagles player-coach enjoyed one of his most productive seasons to date as his club won the league, BBL Trophy and play-offs treble.
2008: Dale Benkenstein
2007: Ottis Gibson
2006: Dale Benkenstein
THE Hartlepool-born 18-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young boxers in the country, and seems certain to represent Britain at the 2012 Olympics.
Marshall has won English and European titles this year, and is currently on an 18-fight winning run.
The Headland ABC boxer has been training at Britain's Olympic base at the English Institute for Sport in Sheffield, and has been highlighted by Sport England as one of Britain's top 16 prospects for 2016.
Runner-up: HOLLY SMITH – The East Herrington-born 15-year-old is the leading badminton player in the country in her age group, and is part of England's Under-17s World-Class Performance squad.
Third: KATE AVERY – The Shildon middle-distance runner recorded the best result of her career when she won a bronze medal in the women's Under-20s race at this month's European Cross Country Championships.
2008: Jemma Lowe
2007: Kieren Emery
2006: Paul Drinkhall
Our Sports Personality of the Year announced her arrival at the very top of world swimming when she shattered the world 400m freestyle record at March's British Championships in Sheffield.
Jackson edged ahead of double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington at an early stage of the race, and powered through the final 25m to improve Federica Pellegrini's world-best mark by almost nine-tenths of a second.
Her look of surprise when she realised she had achieved a world-record time provided one of the most memorable images of the year, and her battle to reclaim her record will be one of the great North- East stories of 2010.
Runner-up: MICHAEL DI VENUTO'S 254 NOT OUT AGAINST SUSSEX – The Durham opener produced one of the greatest innings in the county's history and shattered his own first-class record in the process.
Third: PAUL COLLINGWOOD'S 105 NOT OUT IN THE SECOND ODI AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA – The Durham all-rounder produced a wonderful unbeaten century on the day he became England's most capped One-Day International player of all time.
2008: Stewart Downing's man-of-the-match display for England v Germany

MOMENT OF THE YEAR – Sir Bobby Robson'S MEMORIAL SERVICE AT DURHAM CATHEDRAL
IT was the day that stopped a city, a region and the whole of the sporting world. Sir Bobby Robson's Memorial Service at Durham Cathedral was a fitting tribute to the North-East's favourite son.
The likes of Fabio Capello, Sven-Goran Eriksson, Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne were all in attendance as Robson's memory was celebrated in the county he called home.
His legacy will live on via The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, but his death cast a huge shadow over the second half of 2009.
Runner-up: WHITLEY BAY WIN THE FA VASE AT WEMBLEY – The Northern League side became the first North-East team to win at the new Wembley when they beat Glossop 2-0 in the FA Vase final.
Third: THE FINAL DAY OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON – For fans of Newcastle and Middlesbrough, it was awful.
For supporters of Sunderland, it was the party of the year.
And for everybody else, it was macabre sporting entertainment of the very highest order.
2008: Joe Kinnear's rant at the press
2007: Mathew Tait's run in the Rugby World Cup final
IT'S getting predictable, but when it came to nominating the Team of the Year, there was no contest for the third year in a row.
Durham didn't just defend their County Championship title, they defended it in style as they finished a mammoth 47 points clear of their closest rivals.
There were stars at both the top and bottom of the order, with Di Venuto dominating with the bat and both Steve Harmison and Graham Onions wreaking havoc with the ball.
Runner-up: NEWCASTLE EAGLES – The North-East's basketball kings defended their league title and added a play-off success and a BBL Trophy to record a notable treble.
Third: WHITLEY BAY – The Northern League side showed the rest of the North-East's football sides how to do it as they won the FA Vase at Wembley.
AS the head of Middlesbrough Football Club's Academy, Durham-born Parnaby has been responsible for the development of a succession of senior players who have progressed to the club's first team.
The likes of Stewart Downing, Adam Johnson, Lee Cattermole, Matthew Bates, Tony McMahon, Stuart Parnaby and James Morrison all developed under Parnaby's watchful eye to become established senior professionals.
Formerly a PE teacher, Parnaby led both Gateshead and England Under-15s before he was appointed as the head of Middlesbrough's Academy in the late 1990s.
He led Boro's youngsters to FA Youth Cup glory in 2004, and has carried on overseeing the development of one of the most successful youth production lines in the country.

2007: Sir Bobby Robson


text: Larry Roe was born in St. Louis, Missouri but brought up in the south in Georgia and Florida. He has lived in many regions of the U.S. and therefore had the music of many areas make an impression on him. Folk bluegrass, country, southern rock, even earlier stars all made an impression on him. His mother Jeanette Roe was a trained opera singer and started him in the ways of music at an early age. 'I wrote my first melody at the age of 7 when in the choire. I could see the notes going up and down on the page but didn't know how to read the music. So when everyone sang i made up my own part. Everyone thought it was nice enough to have me sing alone with my older brother at a large cathedral for Christmas. From there on out music has always been very dear to me and i like many kinds and styles. This album though i decided to put enough country into the songs to have the album have a direction and a basic theme. I hope you enjoy the songs as much as i enjoyed writing and recording them. With this CD i tried to bring many of the styles i loved through the years to the country genre of music. There are influxes of eagles, doors, bob dylan, along with the usual country styles and themes. The major portion of this album was recorded in the studio that found and was instrumental in getting Billy Rae Cyrus' career off to a flying start.

There's light at the end of the tunnel for those whose commute includes Sonora's busiest intersection Greenley Road and Mono Way.
The wider southbound section of Greenley Road and a new second lane from Guzzi Lane formerly Delnero Lane to the intersection with Mono Way should be open to traffic by Friday.
The busy stretch of road often has traffic backed up to Morning Star Drive in late afternoons when Sonora Elementary School lets out.
City Engineer Gerard Fuccillo said workers must still install traffic loops, complete a final layer of paving and stripe the new lane. He said that work should be done by Friday. Workers were busy paving Monday under bright sunshine and springlike temperatures.
Heavy rain in late December and early January slowed the project, being completed by On Grade Contracting of Jamestown for $279,000.
Beginning Friday, weather permitting, drivers will have two lanes from Guzzi Lane to the east entrance to Sonora Plaza. The road will break to three lanes from the shopping center entrance to the intersection with Mono Way.
Two of the lanes will be dedicated left-turn lanes for drivers headed east on Mono Way. The far west lane will be for traffic going straight or going west on Mono Way toward downtown Sonora.
The work is the first phase of a much larger project to be done over the next three years.
The entire Phase I, which will cost $410,000, is a temporary measure for a busy intersection that will get even busier when Sonora Community Hospital's new campus on Greenley Road opens this spring.
Phase 1 includes costs for right-of-way acquisition and engineering.
The phase is being funded with $550,000 in traffic mitigation fees paid to the city by Sonora Community Hospital. What is not spent on Phase 1 will go toward Phase 2, the permanent widening project.

Higi 'scores' with kiosks
Through its biometric screening kiosks, its smartphone application and its website, Higi encourages users to take a more holistic approach to their health. True wellness, its creators insist, springs not just from such physical metrics as blood pressure, glucose readings and body mass index, but from lifestyle choices and connections to family, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
The company's proprietary scoring system that "automatically compiles important personal health and wellness information into one manageable number, the higi Score, a compilation of your body, lifestyle and community," according to Higi.
Higi's chief technology officer, Khan Siddiqui, describes the company as a consumer health engagement platform that engages consumers through wellness kiosks, mobile and web.
"Higi breaks existing barriers and sparks conversation between the patient and pharmacists about their wellness," added CEO Jeff Bennett.
"Higi stations" are currently available in hundreds of stores in 25 states, including CVS, Stop & Shop, Giant Food and Martin's, ShopRite, Publix and Fred's. In October, Higi added select Whole Foods stores in Northern California.
Mscripts expands mobile health
With Americans' widespread embrace of smartphones and mobile technology, most patients now carry at least the potential for a direct, real-time link with their pharmacist in their pocket. A San Francisco-based technology company, mscripts, is working full-time to expand the possibilities of a mobile health platform that can serve as a comprehensive communications tool for boosting patients' medication adherence, making the prescription refill process easier and accessing health information via text and video.
CEO Mark Cullen calls mscripts "the most comprehensive mobile pharmacy solution in the market today," with widespread adoption by "national and regional retail chains, specialty pharmacies and hospital systems" that use its mobile connection with consumers to boost "patient engagement and medication adherence."
Mscripts users, Cullen said, "can manage their health and prescription needs on their mobile phones, including the ability to refill prescriptions immediately, receive dosage and refill reminders, view video tutorials and respond to advanced adherence tactics." The goal, he added: "a unified, omnichannel experience."
Cullen said the mobile platform "is HIPAA compliant and has certified integrations to existing pharmacy systems including McKesson EnterpriseRx and PDX, enabling pharmacy retailers to integrate and launch in a matter of weeks."
PillJogger uses games to make adherence 'fun'
A mobile application-based software company has developed a new, fun-oriented tool to help pharmacies improve their patients' medication adherence rates and boost their own non-prescription sales through mobile reminders, suggestive marketing and gaming technology.
The company, San Francisco-based PillJogger, applies innovative, interactive game-playing technology to its smartphone applications to remind patients when to take their meds, reward them for staying on their prescription regimens and encourage them to adopt healthier lifestyles.
"By engaging users with our underlying gamification architecture, we target improving persistency while driving vaccination and other revenue opportunities," PillJogger founder and CEO Robert Pakter, M.D., said. Through the app, patients track adherence rates with a color-coded scoring bar that tracks medication use by dose and time.
"We've designed a total store solution ... to engage shoppers with medication reminders supplanted with healthy diet and wellness tips. Ongoing user participation increases the chances of winning prizes ranging from multivitamins to a Mercedes Benz," Pakter said.
PillJogger derives its income from product suggestions incorporated within the interactive games, but those placements are linked to rewards, Pakter said. "Research has shown consumers don't like or trust mobile ads. [We provide] vendors [a more effective conduit] to reach those consumers."
SoloHealth extends reach in self-directed care
As the nation's healthcare system shifts increasingly toward self-directed patient care, outcomes-driven cost efficiencies and disease prevention, health delivery companies that align with those powerful trends will likely flourish.
Such is the case with SoloHealth. It's newest offering, the SoloHealth station, a patented, self-service kiosk, gives consumers in more than 3,300 retail pharmacy locations "free and convenient access to health care by allowing them to screen their vision, blood pressure, weight and body mass index ... in seven minutes or less for free," according to SoloHealth.
The stations also give users access to a database of local physicians, "and actionable health recommendations," the company said.
"Our mission is to create the most trusted consumer-directed healthcare platform using vital data to connect consumers with relevant services and products to improve their wellbeing and create better healthcare outcomes," Stephen Kendig, EVP and chief customer officer, said.
Some high-profile retail partners — including Walmart, Sam's Club, CVS, Publix and Schnuck's Markets — are testing SoloHealth's stations, and Walmart is reportedly rolling the kiosks into more than 2,500 stores. The company expects to expand to an estimated 5,000 locations in 2014.
SoloHealth also is growing its health services business, including recent partnerships with the Department of Health and Human Services, eHealth and WellPoint and its subsidiaries such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia.
VoicePort bridges the gap
Over the past decade, VoicePort has developed a suite of automated self-service communications solutions with an overriding goal: to forge stronger links between patients and pharmacies.
Based in Rochester, N.Y., VoicePort provides a "proactive ... communications platform to patients via voice, email, SMS and mobile notifications," the company said. According to Adam Vargulick, director of product management, "VoicePort leverages its expertise in automated self-service applications combining technology, analytics and pharmacy operations expertise to deliver a full suite of personalized multi-channel patient communication and adherence applications called PharmaPhonetics."
Vargulick said a prime focus for VoicePort in 2013 is a HIPAA-compliant automated patient-prompt and data-capture program called SynchroScript. The program "automates key elements of a medication synchronization process and provides a powerful analytical tool and dashboard to show PDC [proportion of days covered] compliance, as well as pharmacy and health plan enrollment statistics," according to the company.
"SynchroScript roadmap also will include access to MTM, health tips and alerts within the pharmacy workflow as well as facilitate participation in Accountable Care Organizations," Vargulis said.
VoicePort's other solutions include:
- PharmaRemind, which provides just-in-time notifications to patients on refills, pickup availability and other prescription issues;
- An appointment scheduler application branded to the pharmacy; and
- PharmaRemind Mobile, a mobile app that enables refill notifications and secure messaging.
PharmaSmart boosts its arsenal
You could call it the one-man band of kiosk-based patient screening systems.
While the PharmaSmart 2000D won't be broadly available until 2014, the company is already touting its breakthrough benefits as a powerful, self-contained screening station that can support any pharmacy's preventive-health and patient-care efforts. PharmaSmart COO and general manager Ashton Maaraba calls the clinically validated, peer-reviewed system "the most advanced biometric screening solution in the world."
The new device, set for rollout in 2014, also includes a patented system for detecting atrial fibrillation — which could be a valuable tool for pharmacy-driven interventions and stroke prevention — as well as pregnancy risk-factor monitoring, a patented new arm cuff to accommodate obese patients, a barcode scanner, wireless and USB communication and uploading capabilities, a thermal printer and a smart scale for measuring body mass index. The 2000D also provides a feature for uploading and integrating glucometer readings into a patient's health profile, as well as a geomapping feature for patient data, and the ability to generate coupons for sponsored health products.
Pharmacy retailers can harvest a healthy return on their investment in PharmaSmart's newest kiosk technology in several ways, according to the company, including reimbursement for medication therapy management — the system can be tied into a pharmacy's existing MTM delivery model; sponsorships from manufacturers; and monetization of data generated by the system's screening programs.
According to Maaraba, the new, fully integrated patient-screening station can provide pharmacy retailers with "an abundance of patient targeted 'meaningful use' data, which is invaluable. Payers are willing to reimburse pharmacy for this data."
PharmaSmart has placed more than 5,000 of its kiosks in the United States and Canada.

Woman's hostage ordeal after knife thug hijacks car in south Belfast
Police have been urged to step up patrols to tackle violent carjackings after a female motorist was taken hostage by a hijacker in Belfast.
During what has been described as a "terrifying ordeal", the woman was driving in the Pretoria Street area of south Belfast at around 2.10pm yesterday when she was threatened at knifepoint by the man.
The hijacker, who was in his 20s, forced his way into the woman's green Toyota Yaris and drove off with his frightened victim still inside.
It is believed he drove towards Broomhill Park Central before letting the woman out of the car.
Police believe the car was driven by the hijacker towards the Malone Road area.
The incident has sparked fears of an upsurge in the violent crime, which had been largely stamped out in 2012 following a special police crackdown.
The PSNI set up Operation Rusico to deal with a spate of carjackings across the city and managed to reduce the number of incidents by targeting a west Belfast crime gang calling itself the 'Divis Hoods Liberation Army'.
However, this most recent attack – on top of a number of similar incidents this year – has led for calls from a Policing Board member for a new clampdown to nip a potential new carjacking crimewave in the bud.
"Criminals aren't stupid. As soon as they know the police stop focusing on something they think the way is open for them. Perhaps officers could step up patrols in known carjacking hotspot areas," the DUP's Jonathan Craig said.
The PSNI has asked for anyone with information about the carjacking to contact detectives at Musgrave Street on the non-emergency number 101.
There have been a series of similar hijackings recently. Earlier this year a woman was dragged from her car in Rathcoole by two men who then took off in the vehicle and set it alight.
In Derry two motorists were attacked during separate hijackings. A retired bus driver was beaten when he confronted three teenagers stealing his car in the Carnhill area, and a second man was hauled from his van and brutally assaulted by two men.

A New High-Performance Digital FM Modulator and Demodulator for Software-Defined Radio and Its FPGA Implementation
This paper deals with an FPGA implementation of a high performance FM modulator and demodulator for Software Defined Radio (SDR) system. The individual component of proposed FM modulator and demodulator has been optimized in such a way that the overall design consists of a high-speed, area optimized and low-power features. The modulator and demodulator contain an optimized Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DDFS) based on quarter-wave symmetry technique for generating the carrier frequency with Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of more than 64 dB. The FM modulator uses pipelined version of the DDFS to support the up conversion in the digital domain.

This intense interactive training workshop focuses on Scrum's Product Owner role, which focuses on visioning, roadmapping, and user stories.
Scrum is a proven lean and agile approach to delivering results, a simple "inspect and adapt" framework used to organize work for maximum efficiency and effectiveness using three roles, three ceremonies, and three artifacts wherein stories express requirements and tasks express work.
While the Product Owner role is conceptually simple and involves a few guidelines, the role emphasizes a particular mindset. Many product owners enact the role, but don't readily internalize the mindset, and thus don't experience the benefits of the role.
This workshop not only provides participants with the skills for creating compelling visions, actionable roadmaps, and useful requirements using agile techniques, but it also gives participants practical hands-on experience applying these techniques throughout the workshop. Participants will be introduced to agility and create a vision, roadmap, and work with user roles, user stories, and acceptance tests.
This is not mere presentation-based training but a workshop using experiential learning (learning by doing, including robust simulations and discussions). It is facilitated by active practitioners with decades of real-world industry experience, which is used to highlight and expose participants to many common pitfalls. Experiential learning techniques are used to illustrate key concepts in a comprehensive manner that is interactively tailored to the participants' particular needs. Participants will not only gain a foundational understanding, but will also gain practical insight around the nuances of putting the techniques into practice to maximize results.
Though each CSPO course varies depending on the instructor, all Certified Scrum Product Owner® courses focus on Scrum from a product owner's perspective. Graduates will receive the CSPO designation. All CSPO courses are taught by Trainers approved by the Scrum Alliance.

Tim Wilson, 52-year-old comedian, country singer, and staple on "The Bob & Tom Show" has passed away from a heart attack.
According to TheComicsComic:
Tim Wilson died Wednesday night after suffering a heart attack.
He leaves behind a wife and two children. Not only that though, he leaves behind an entire catalog of comedic country music that will stay with us always.
A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Tim Wilson during "The Bob & Tom Comedy All-Star Tour." He was nice, genuine, funny, and VERY smart. He will be missed but never forgotten.

In the lead up to the 34th Test match between England and Australia at Lord's, Lords.org is assembling an 'All time Lord's Ashes XI' based on the best performances in Tests between the two teams at the Home of Cricket.
1. Andrew Strauss (captain) - 161 v. Australia in 2009
Opening the batting and captaining the side is Andrew Strauss.
His superb 161 in England's first innings during the '09 Test helped set up a 115 run victory which gave England a 2-1 lead going into the final Test at the Oval. It made Strauss the first England captain to beat Australia at Lord's since 1934 as the side went on to win the series 2-1. It was the first of two times that Strauss would win the Ashes as skipper, something he achieved both home and away.
Strauss' Ashes record
Matches: 20 Runs: 1,421 Highest: 161 Average: 39.47 100s: 4 Catches: 21
2. John Edrich - 175 v. Australia in 1975
Our second opening batsman is John Edrich.
Part of the Edrich cricketing dynasty, John Edrich scored one of the most stoic centuries in an Ashes series here in '75 during a drawn Test match. His second innings' 175 remains the second highest knock by an Englishman against Australia at Lord's - Wally Hammond scored 240 in 1938 - and lasted a staggering nine hours.
Edrich's Ashes record
Matches: 32 Runs: 2,644 Highest: 175 Average: 48.96 100s: 7 Catches: 16
3. Sir Donald Bradman - 254 v. England in 1930
Batting at number three is Sir Donald Bradman.
Widely considered the greatest cricketer of all time, the 'Don' produced one of his finest innings at this ground back in 1930. His 254 remains the highest score by any batsman in an Ashes Test at Lord's and was part of Australia's mammoth 729 first innings total which helped set up a 7 wicket victory for the tourists.
Bradman's Ashes record
Matches: 37 Runs: 5028 Highest: 334 Average: 89.78 100s: 19 Catches: 20
4. Allan Border - 196 v. England in 1985
Batting at number four is Allan Border.
Described by Wisden as 'Border's match', his first innings' 196 helped set up a 4 wicket victory for the tourists in the '85 Test. It was a rare highlight of the tour for Border as his side succumbed to a 3-1 series defeat, but his century at Lord's made sure Australia kept their unbeaten record at the Home of Cricket since 1934 intact.
Border's Ashes record
Matches: 47 Runs: 3548 Highest: 200* Average: 56.31 100s: 8 Catches: 57
5. Wally Hammond - 240 v. Australia in 1938
At number five is Wally Hammond.
Hammond's 240 during the 1938 Test at Lord's remains the only double century at the Ground by an Englishman in an Ashes series. His double ton, as captain, helped set up a formidable first innings score of 494 in a game that was drawn but remembered by Wisden as 'a match of many fluctuations and fine personal achievements.' Australia's Bill Brown struck 206 not out as he carried his bat for the tourists in their first innings.
Hammond's Ashes record
Matches: 33 Runs: 2,852 Highest: 251 Average: 51.85 100s: 9 Catches: 43
Wickets: 36 Best: 5/57 Average: 44.77 5w: 1
6. Les Ames - 120 v. Australia in 1934
Keeping wicket and batting at number six is Les Ames.
His 120 in the 1934 Test at Lord's is the only century to be scored by a wicket-keeper for England during an Ashes series at the Ground. It helped give Bob Wyatt's side an innings and 38 run victory, which was to be England's only win here until Andrew Strauss' side managed it in 2009.
Ames' Ashes record
Matches: 17 Runs: 675 Highest: 120 Average: 27.00 100s: 1 Catches: 33 Stumpings: 4
7. Andrew Flintoff - 5/92 v. Australia in 2009
In at number seven is the first of two allrounders, Andrew Flintoff.
Flintoff's 5/92 at Lord's in 2009 came after announcing his retirement on the eve of the Test. Bowling on a bad knee he came in on the final day from the Pavilion End to deliver 10 overs on the trot and finish with a five-wicket haul as England wrapped up their first victory at the Home of Cricket in an Ashes series since 1934. It was a fitting moment as 'Freddie', who had been England's talisman in Ashes series of late, sunk down on one knee to soak up the crowd's appreciation at the Ground for one last time.
Flintoff's Ashes record
Matches: 15 Runs: 906 Highest: 102 Average: 33.55 100s: 1 Catches: 4
Wickets: 50 Best: 5/78 Average: 33.20 5w: 2
8. Keith Miller - 10/152 v. England in 1956
The second allrounder and batting at number eight is Keith Miller.
Widely appreciated as Australia's finest ever allrounder, Miller's 10 wickets in the 1956 Test at Lord's helped set up a 185 run victory for Ian Johnson's Australian side. Taking 5/72 and 5/80 in the two innings respectively, Miller remains one of only 11 tourists to take 10 wickets in a match at the Home of Cricket.
Miller's Ashes record
Matches: 29 Runs: 1,511 Highest: 145* Average: 33.57 100s: 3 Catches: 20
Wickets: 87 Best: 7/60 Average: 22.40 5w: 3
9. Hedley Verity - 15/104 v. Australia in 1934
At number nine is England spinner Hedley Verity.
Verity's match figures of 15/104 in the 1934 Test at Lord's remain the best by any England bowler at the Ground. Taking 14 wickets in one day, including Don Bradman twice, the slow left armer produced figures of 7/31 and 8/43 in the two innings respectively. It helped secure England an innings and 38 run victory as Verity surpassed the record for best figures by an England bowler against Australia, bettering fellow Yorkshireman Wilfred Rhodes' effort of 15/124 at Melbourne in 1904. Verity's record stood until 1956 before Jim Laker famously took 19/90 at Old Trafford.
Verity's Ashes record
Matches: 18 Wickets: 59 Best: 8/43 Average: 28.06 5w: 3
10. Glenn McGrath - 8/38 v. England in 1997.
At number ten and opening the bowling is Glenn McGrath.
McGrath's 8/38 in the 1997 Test at Lord's was one of the finest displays of fast bowling ever witnessed at the Ground. It remains the best figures by any tourist at Lord's in a single innings and came at a time when Australia were dominant in world cricket.
McGrath's Ashes record
Matches: 30 Wickets: 157 Best: 8/38 Average: 20.92 5w: 10 Catches: 10
11. Bob Massie- 16/137 v. Enlgand in 1972.
At number eleven and the second opening bowler is Bob Massie.
Massie's 16/137 in the 1972 Test remains the best match figures in a Test match at Lord's by any player. Maybe even more impressive is that it was Massie's Test debut in a career that saw him play only six Tests for Australia. The swing bowler, taking eight wickets in each innings, helped Ian Chappell's team record a resounding eight wicket victory at the Home of Cricket.
Massie's Ashes record
Matches: 4 Wickets: 23 Best: 16/137 Average: 17.78 5w: 2

We're forming an MTB race club/team out of Wheelworks stores in Belmont and Somerville. I emphasize "club" here because we are not in search for elite riders (being fast certainly won't be counted against you) but are looking for ambassadors for the sport and who have some positive connection with our stores.
Here is the abbreviated details on the team. Essentially racers will be given racing kits at cost and then reimbursed fully for those kits based on race and event participation. Podium finishes will result in reimbursed race fees and racers will get a healthy discount in our store. Team members will have access to prerides of the race courses as well as weekly training rides.
If you're looking for a great group to ride with and share home base with on race day, feel free to PM me, or email me at email@example.com for an application.

Just finished this one last night. I made it for my brother for his birthday as he is a huge fan of The Stig from Top Gear. I think I am going to have to make one for my son too as last night he was running around the house with it pretending he was The Stig doing a lap of the Top Gear test track..
I didn't use a pattern for this one, just made it up as I went along. The steering wheel was my partners idea and I must say I think it was a good idea.

Pre-1858 proof strikings are all scarce and most are rare, and of course, the further one goes back in time the rarer they become and the less frequently they are encountered. According to Breen (1977), proofs were struck of the 1820 quarter from three different varieties, B-1, B-2, and B-4 (one-sided proof only). The most "common" variety is from this die pairing. Four examples of the proof B-1 are listed in the Breen-Bowers update of Browning (1992), but this is not a proof series that has been well studied and the pedigrees are somewhat confused with the four coins listed possibly representing only two individual pieces.
This particular coin's pedigree is unknown to us, where and when it was purchased was not given to us by the consignor. However, certain collections that would be the usual suspects can be eliminated as a possible source. Norweb had two one-sided proofs of this date, neither of which was a B-1. Eliasberg did not own a proof 1820 quarter, and neither did Pittman. We do not have access to the WGC (Boyd) silver catalog from 1945, but that is a reasonable lead for tracking the pedigree of this piece, considering the age of the consignor and when he was most actively purchasing coins.
As an aside, both B-2 and B-4 one-sided proofs are known, and as mentioned both were contained in the Eliasberg Collection. Such coins may be difficult for present-day numismatists to understand, and the reason for such a coin's existence requires understanding why proofs were struck in 1820. Such coins were struck by the mint as special coins for collectors or VIPs. If a collector desired a proof striking, the theory goes that only one side (the obverse) would be displayed in a collector's cabinet. Therefore, it would not be necessary to have a proof surface on the reverse--only the obverse--for display purposes. Such pieces have been accepted for many years and recognized as the anomalies they are to modern-day collectors, by such luminaries in the past as Wayte Raymond, the Norweb family, Howard Newcomb, and Hillyer Ryder. That being said, this is a full, two-sided proof and is consistent with the proofs that are known from this early period in the mint's history.
According to the Breen-Bowers update of Browning, "...Four or five proofs must have been made in 1821, like the B-2s. There are enough Proofs of 1820-1821 in every denomination from cents to half eagles to suggest special strikings in 1821 for favored parties, including backdated coins. Nothing in Mint correspondence or other Archives documents seen to date provided any clue as to the identities of the VIP collectors." Four auction appearances are then listed from 1890 to 1977 with the proviso that these listings may only represent two individual coins.
This particular coin has deeply reflective proof fields on each side. The mirrored finish is abundantly evident even through the medium to heavy toning that is present. The centers have a substantial splash of golden-rose toning that is then surrounded by a wide ring of cobalt-blue toward the margins. The striking details are exceptionally crisp with no obvious areas of softness on either side. Additionally, there are no contact marks apparent on either side, just a few tiny planchet flakes in the obverse fields that were present on the planchet prior to the coin's striking. A very rare opportunity to acquire an early, unquestionable proof from the U.S. mint, and a coin that was saved by generations of collectors with no "improvements" made to its surfaces.(#5365) (NGC ID# 27H9, PCGS# 5365)

PRINCETON, N.J., April 3 (UPI) -- Federal workers offered a bleak view of hiring, saying the U.S. government was more likely to contract than expand its work force, a Gallup survey indicated.
Forty-one percent of federal employees asked were more likely to report their employer was reducing its workforce while 23 percent of respondents said it was hiring or expanding, results of Gallup Daily tracking for March, released Wednesday, indicated.
The difference between the two views resulted in a minus-18 Job Creation Index score, dropping from a minus-5 in February before the automatic, across-the-board cuts in federal spending kicked in March 1.
Reports of hiring activity was positive among non-government workers, with an index score of plus-20, based on 35 percent of companies hiring workers and 15 percent of companies letting workers go, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said.
Among all U.S. workers, the index is plus-17, Gallup said, noting the vast majority of U.S. workers are employed by non-government employers.
Results are based on nationwide telephone interviews conducted with 17,818 adults as part of Gallup Daily tracking March 1-31. The margin of error is 1 percentage point.

decided to place an order with teavivre a few weeks ago. mainly wanted to try out their bailin gongfu and figured i would pick up samples of other black teas while i was at it, i ended up buying this tea in a larger quantity because the value seemed very good and it was well reviewed here at steepster.
few notes on the teavivre packaging, everything came in bags(generic like most companys) but teavivre only puts 3.5oz into each bag and has the teas inside the zip bag in another bag, superior packaging imo.
the tea itself when you open the bag it smells sweet even spicy; a really pleasant aroma. taste wise it reminds me a lot of an earl gray at first…. just a really subtleness of the same flavor. the sweetness/mild spicyness comes through pretty well to the taste, also has a nice heavy mouthfeel
at first i wasnt sure if i was going to like it, was interesting but reminded me of earl gray too much(wasnt fond of); after a week-two of drinking ive taken a liking to it(complex teas take a while for me to get acclimated to.. had this experience with a fujian in the past)
overall so far this outshines the bailin gonfu for me, really glad i picked up more than a sample size of this…. great value tea, good tasting especially to those of you who prefer sweeter teas(blacks)

[1]The first woman to run a National Football League team has stepped down[2].
On Saturday, Amy Trask, who had served as CEO of the Oakland Raiders since 1997, announced that she had left the organization. Trask joined the Raiders in 1987, while the team was own by notoriously-quirky owner Al Davis. Her departure had been expected since Davis' death in 2011, Bloomberg notes.
Once declared the "most powerful woman in the NFL" by Sports Illustrated, Trask managed the team's relations with the media, sponsors and the rest of the league.
Davis' son Mark assumed control of the team after his father's death and has restructured operations, dismissing many former front office employees.
Trask, who was educated as a lawyer, said she had stayed on to oversee the management transition of the team and had "honored a commitment" she made to Al Davis.

Might this be the proverbial game-changer?
The Ottawa Senators have clearly been the second-best team in their conference semi-final playoff series against the high-powered Pittsburgh Penguins, but as they head home for the third encounter of the series Sunday (the Pens lead two games to none), there is bright sunshine on the horizon.
Injured centre Jason Spezza, who had surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back in early February, is set to make his return to the lineup.
Against a Pittsburgh team that is the deepest in the NHL at centre, the six-foot-three Spezza provides an imposing presence for the Sens' under-manned and out-gunned forward corps, his slick puck-handling and cannon shot should also inject some creativity to what has been an offensively-challenged lineup.
"Hopefully I can just kind of help and add some excitement and bring some emotion. When you come back after a long time I think you can give a little bit of a jolt to the team and that's what I'm hoping to provide," Spezza said after a team practice on Saturday. "I think you try to harness it and use it more than anything. There's going to be a little bit of excitement jitters and you just have to try and simplify the game probably early on too but I'm going to try and use my excitement and try to make it a positive and not be worried about the negative."
Ottawa coach Paul MacLean wouldn't reveal who Spezza's linemates will be – although he did highlight his past chemistry with sniper Milan Michalek and bruising winger Colin Greening – and suggested he'll be limiting the 29-year-old's ice time to start.
But there's no question Spezza will help the Sens' power-play; absent a 6-1 pasting of the Montreal Canadiens in the first round where Ottawa scored three with the man-advantage, the Sens have scored only four times in six games.
MacLean said Spezza's return amounts to "a huge, huge step. He's a number one centre, and 80-point player . . . he can produce offence from anywhere on the ice, and our team doesn't have that right now."
The Pens are sensitive to that as well.
Pittsburgh defenceman Kris Letang, who will likely see a lot of Spezza, said the plan will be to try and keep the big centre under wraps early.
"It's going to be important to be in his face right away," Letang said.
The Pens also know whereof they speak when it comes to star players returning from injury.
Centre Sidney Crosby, who recently returned from a shattered jaw – with his previous history with concussions, he has become something of a comeback specialist – said Spezza will surely provide a big lift to a team already excited at playing before its home crowd.
"He creates a lot, so someone we definitely have to be aware of . . . he's a great player, he's going to help their team for sure," Crosby said.
The superstar centre, who notched a hat trick in game two of the series, said it often takes time for players to recover their timing after a long layoff – he should know.
It's something Spezza is sensitive to.
Though he's made a full recovery from what had become a chronic back problem, he doesn't expect to be playing at the top of his ability – especially as he joins a playoff series in mid-stream.
"You're never going to be able to replicate playoff hockey physicality in practice but I've done quite a bit of bumping and quite a bit of whatever you can do one on one stuff down low I feel comfortable that way. But you can never replicate big open ice hits and stuff like that, you just try not to get hit I guess," he said.
If centre Kyle Turris, the Senators' de facto top centre since Spezza went out, was in any way ruffled about the prospect of seeing his ice time reduced, he did a virtuoso job of concealing it behind a broad grin.
"To have a guy like Jason come back, I'd happily have him take his spot," he said.
Turris, brought in as the team's second-line centre, said having to take a more prominent role in Spezza's absence has allowed him to measurably improve his game – he has no difficulty applying those lessons in a lesser role.
According to MacLean, the Sens "need to win a game to make it a series," and if they're going to do that, they'll need more from players like Turris and defenceman Erik Karlsson.
The Norris Trophy winner from 2012 – and another of Ottawa's legion of players to have suffered calamitous injury this year – has slowed perceptibly in his last few games, even as he says he feels no ill-effects from his surgically repaired Achilles tendon.
No, Karlsson says, the problem is his decision-making and positioning on the ice.
"Physically I feel great, I move well outside the ice, I have no issues with anything I do, it's just a matter of trusting in myself and believing that I can play almost the same way as I did before I got hurt," said Karlsson, in what seems to be a tacit acknowledgment that he is not yet back to where he was.
The immediate answer, he said, lies in simplicity.
"I'm not playing the way I want to, I've got to play a little bit more poised with the puck and a little bit faster in our own zone," said Karlsson, whose 15:37 in game two was the least time he's spent on the ice since his rookie season. "I have to move my feet a little bit more and find the right position that I'm usually in. Right now it's a little bit too much in-between and I can't doubt myself."
The Sens will also expect a bounce-back game from goaltender Craig Anderson, who was pulled in favour of rookie Robin Lehner after yielding three times on Friday.
Everything points to a raucous start on Sunday, and the Penguins are mindful of what will be required for them to grab a 3-0 stranglehold against a team whose hallmark is a refusal to quit.
"We'll need to match their intensity early," said Pittsburgh forward Pascal Dupuis, "that's for sure."Report Typo/Error

MANAMA, Bahrain, May 26 (UPI) -- Bahraini investor Fouad Shuwaitar signed a $63.8 million deal to build a miniature Disneyland project in Muharraq, officials in Bahrain said Saturday.
Trade Arabia newspaper said the massive project will see the overhaul of the Grand Muharraq Garden.
"The place will be turned into an extravagant theme park, a miniature Disneyland, with new rides, a bowling center, hi-tech video games, international chain restaurants and now two health clubs to replace the motels -- one for men and the other for women," Muharraq Council Chairman Abdulnasser al-Mahmeed said.
Trade Arabia said on Saturday the plans provisioned for the construction of the biggest bowling alley in the Middle East with 45 lanes, a medical center, restaurants, coffee shops and hotels. The park will also have its own ambulance and helicopter on standby, in case of emergencies.

Adriene Hill: Now on to the U.K. where a former investment banker has had his knighthood revoked. Sir Fred Goodwin -- or, now, Mr. Fred Goodwin -- led the Royal Bank of Scotland when it nearly collapsed during the financial crisis in 2008. He joins an inglorious list of people who've had their knighthood taken away by the queen.
Marketplace's Stephen Beard has our story now from London.
Stephen Beard: Bloodstained dictators like Robert Mugabe, Benito Mussolini, and Nicolae Ceausescu have also been stripped of honors conferred by the British Crown. Goodwin got his knighthood for services to banking. He's losing it because his bank had to be bailed out by the British government with $70 billion. Goodwin's demotion seems popular with the people.
But Simon Walker, a spokesman for Company Directors, says it was unconstitutional.
Simon Walker: There's a well established practice where if people are convicted of a criminal offence they lose the honors they've been granted. That's historic and is appropriate. To do it because you don't approve of someone I think politicizes the whole honours system
Other critics ask: when will this witch hunt against bankers end? There are numerous other financiers with knighthoods that had a hand in the crisis. And what about the man who received his honorary knighthood for services to central banking -- former Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan?
In London, I'm Stephen Beard for marketplace.

It appears the Professor Kelly Fan Club is alive and well -- and willing to part with a few bucks.
The embattled head coach of your Blue Bombers, fined a cool two grand by the CFL Monday for his rude treatment of the media after Sunday's game in Montreal, received a little love in the mail yesterday.
"The ironic thing is we've had envelopes delivered to the office to help pay his fine," Blue Bomber president/CEO Lyle Bauer told the Sun. "In a few small envelopes there's several hundred dollars."
Some players contributed as well, Bauer said.
In fact, Kelly was walking around the Bomber offices with a cup, soliciting donations to the Professor's Profanity Fund. We presume the marketing department was not amused.
Actually, Bauer doesn't sound worried in the least about sluggish ticket sales, suggesting this Sunday's game against Hamilton will have "the second-highest attendance for a Game 10 (final home game) in the past six years."
Talk about finding a rose amidst the thorns. The Bomber sold 600 tickets yesterday, creeping past the 23,000 mark.
For the season, Bauer says the club will be down between 10,000 and 15,000 tickets from last year, a bite of at least half a million bucks from the bottom line.
He acknowledges some, but not all, of the drop may fall in Kelly's lap.
Yet, the big boss remains upbeat about his choice of head coach, despite the public relations powder kegs he's had to defuse since hiring the man.
It's generally acknowledged Bauer is the one who coaxes apologies from the Professor, although he insists he didn't have to twist his coach's arm to get this latest one out of him.
"Mike believed the apology was necessary as well, when he had time to reflect," Bauer said.
"Mike is not a stupid man. What he needs to learn is you don't have to react every time someone is poking a stick at you."
That'll come with time, Bauer believes.
How much time he's willing to give Kelly, who has two years left on his contract, he's not willing to say, trotting out the "everything will be evaluated in the off-season" line.
As he did last time we checked in with him, Bauer credited Kelly with changing the team's attitude.
"It bodes well for the future," he said. "We experienced a change in the character and attitude of our football team, first off. Have there been bumps along the way? No question. But people do know, including guys in that locker-room, how passionate he is about them, and how much he believes in them."
Bauer actually attributes the public backlash over Kelly's abrasive style -- he threw out the term "media bullsh--" before walking out on a radio interview Sunday -- to demographics: the older you are, the more you were probably turned off.
"The older demographic took exception to it, and the younger demographic supports it," he said. "You know how rebellious youth is."
As for fans threatening to cancel their season tickets unless Kelly is fired, Bauer says just as many are behind the coach.
"It's probably even up. This is Winnipeg. It's always split down the middle. Whether it's (the debate over) private vs public ownership, or stadium location, it's always interesting."
What does it say, though, when the face of your franchise is turning off as many people as he's rallying?
Shouldn't that ratio be more like, say, 90-10 on the positive side?
The feedback I get, unscientific as it is, suggests the Professor's supporters are outnumbered by his detractors, at least four or five to one.
One supporter though, gets more votes than everybody else. And he resides in the big chair on Maroons Road.
Lyle Bauer is still part of the Professor Kelly Fan Club.
He's apparently willing to part with a few bucks, too.

Uncle Cheese's wonderful SS3.1 module silverstripe-gridfield-betterbuttons which furnishes "Save" "Save And..." and "Delete" still suffers from the confounding Silverstripe perplexity of the fact that you have to save the record first to make those buttons appear.
The purists will have it that until then the record does not exist. However to the average user, just uploading the image IS the record, nothing more, so a double action is illogical and unnecessary.
I decided that I would save the new image object the moment the upload field is instantiated. The fact that I will get left with empty object if the process is abandoned is far less confusing that the alternative.
This is from my SlideImage.php class which has a has_many on all page types (from Page.php)
$imageField = new UploadField('Image','Choose Images');
The snag is that it doesn't work. It looks as though it's going to, but the write() makes the object vanish and then I get the classic can't handle suburls in the upload chooser when I choose from files.
So how does one do a an "autosave" properly upon instantiation of this form without the user knowing? It must be possible and I am sure many would want this. However this is where the form objects get very confusing and I need someone of Uncle Cheese's calibre to guide me!
Simple, effective and probably contrary to all the purists thinking but it means that the Uncle Cheese buttons "Save", "Save And..." and "Delete" appear immediately which is what Mr and Mrs Editor will expect.
Hope this helps

While reading Anna her bedtime story which was a book version of Disney's Bambi, we got to the part where hunters kill Bambi's mom. The following conversation ensued:
Anna: Why did the hunters kill Bambi's Mommy?
Me: Well, hunters kill for sport. And they also kill animals to eat them.
Anna: The hunters ate Bambi's Mom?
Me: Yes, sweetie. They did.
(At this point I am awaiting some sort of cry-fest while Anna, who literally weeps every time she hears Brahms's Lullaby because she finds it so poignant, mourns the loss of Bambi's mom. Instead she sits there pondering for a few moments with a serious look on her face. And that's when things got really disturbing)
Anna: I want to go hunting.
Me: You do?
Anna: Daddy, can I go hunting?
Me: (trying to appear supportive of all life decisions) Of course you can, sweetie.
Anna: Can you take me hunting, Daddy?
Me: Well, I don't really hunt myself. But if you want to go hunting when you're a little older, I'm sure we can find a way to make that happen. Why do you want to go hunting?
Anna: Because I need to kill animals.
Me: Oh.
Anna: Daddy?
Me: Yes?
Anna: How do hunters eat animals?
Me: Well (hesitates) they remove the meat from the animals' bones, then cook it.
Anna: What does it mean to remove the meat?
Me: Well, it's the animals' muscles. We eat animals' muscles. So whenever we're eating meat, we're eating the muscles of animals.
Anna: Mmmm! I want to try deer muscles.
Me: ..meat, sweetheart. We call it meat.
Anna: Have I ever eaten muscles off of animals' bones?
Me: (contemplates the best way to phrase this) Sure you have sweetie. Every time we eat meat, it means you're eating the muscles of animals. Like hamburgers. Hamburgers come from cows. And tuna is a fish. And chicken.
Anna: (eyes light up) Ohh! Chicken comes from chickens???
Me: Yes sweetie. That's right. When we eat chicken, we're eating chickens' muscles.
Anna: Chickens are filled with chicken nuggets!
Me: ...in a way yes. Chicken nuggets are chicken meat covered...
Anna (creepily giggling with delight): Bambi is filled with Bambi nuggets!!!
Me: Yes. Yes, I suppose he is in a way.
Anna: Can I eat a Bambi nugget?
Me: (vomits a little, half smiling, semi-nodding)
Anna: Daddy? (pensive look)
Me: Yes sweetheart?
Anna: I have muscles on my skeleton.
Me: That's true.
Anna: Do people eat people muscles?
Me: (Contemplates the possibility of discussing Jeffrey Dahmer before realizing that's not something to talk about with a four-year-old. Particularly one who is showing a penchant for the concept of devouring the flesh of beasts). No sweetie. Nobody eats people meat. People just eat other animals' meat.
Anna: ....I think people meat is probably the most delicious.
Me: Maybe so, sweetheart. (head pat) Maybe so. (shudders)
In conclusion: Never in a million years did I anticipate that "the talk" with my daughter regarding the murder of Bambi's mom would lead to a conversation that would give me nightmares. And make the entire Weed household contemplate vegetarianism.
I will now go to the kitchen and ensure all cutlery is safely secured in its drawer lest Anna get the hankering for some Daddy nuggets.
