Unlike the previous years when stage 1 of the Tour of Oman traditionally finished with a bunched sprint, the battle between the GC contenders occurred as soon as day 1 and its hilly final part heading to Al Bustan. Among a group of 16 favourites where only Porte and Kristoff were missing, Bob Jungels managed to power away on the final descent with 2 kilometres to go. Crossing the line alone with a 6'' lead over Pauwels and Bardet, the Luxemburger claimed his first success in Oman, and his...

The Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys will be seeking to stretch their latest win streak to a season-high three games tonight as they travel to Fort Myers to take on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles.
Game time at Alico Arena has been set for 6:30 p.m.
Tech (4-2) strung together its second two-game win string of the season last Tuesday night in a 85-56 home-court romp over Rhema Bible Training Center.
Florida Gulf Coast (5-2) earned its fourth consecutive win of the young season Wednesday evening with a 91-79 skip past Saint Leo.
This winter, Florida Gulf Coast opened with a 1-2 showing in the prestigious Disney Classic in Orlando. The Eagles defeated North Florida 103-95, but lost to North Dakota 74-63 and Bentley (Mass.) 79-68.
Since then, the Eagles have bounced back to win its last four outings: 74-41 over Puerto Rico-Cayey, 75-56 over Gulf South Conference East Division member Lincoln Memorial, 66-49 over Florida Memorial and 91-79 over Saint Leo.
Terrence Martin continues to set the scoring pace for the Wonder Boys with his 15.8 per game average. He's followed by Rone Smith (12.2), Detrius Roberson (12.0) and Jeremy Johnson (10.5).
As a team, Tech is scoring at a rate of 69.5 points per game, while hitting 46 percent from the field, 39 percent from behind the three-point line, and 58 percent from the free-throw line.
Following the trip to Florida, the Wonder Boys will take the next six days off before traveling to Beaumont, Texas, to take on Lamar University.

In my life as a developer I've implemented many different flavours of Mail Merge style applications which can be run on a server without having to install any word processing clients. This has ranged from simple email auto responders, using customizable email templates, to complex reports based on customizable templates. In many cases I've had to reach for 3rd party applications like Aspose Words for.NET to get the job done within the budget and time frames allowed. With the release of the Open XML SDK 2.0, I wanted to see how easy it is to build my own mail merge application. So here we have Another Mail Merge Client (AMMC).
In Word users can create their mail merge templates that look like this.
Dated: «Date»
Hi «Recipient»,
This is a test to see if my «Adjectives» mail merge worked.
Dated: «Date»
Hi «Recipient»,
This is a test to see if my «Adjectives» mail merge worked.
This same template file can also be used to generate documents in an application using data from the application. By using Open XML to do this you do not require Word to be installed, which is a bad idea anyway.
The code here so far does not support multi-valued data, but you should be able to generate even complex word documents as long as there is just one row of data for each document you generate.
To generate complex reports take a look at the XSLT approach taken here.
The completed Visual Studio 2008 solution (inside /AMMC-src) is included in this code sample, along with a pre-compiled sample binary (inside /AMMC-bin).
The AMMC is built using two projects with the following files.
The DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll assembly is also included with the binary version of the application. AMMC is a command line application which will print the help documentation whenever invalid input is given.
Understanding Mail Merge in Open XML
I started creating a simple Mail Merge document in Microsoft Word 2007 to use as my template. As my data source I put together a simple comma-separated values (CSV) file using Microsoft Excel 2007. To get a basic understanding of how a Mail Merge document looks in Open XML, I opened up my template document using The Document Reflector, one of several usefull tools found in the Open XML SDK 2.0, which can be found in the Open XML Format SDK\V2.0\tools\ directory.
Scanning through the document I quicly find the 3 key parts I have to work with.
There are three main parts to the MailMerger and they are all inside the only method public void MailMerge. At this stage the MailMerger only has the one key method but as it's in its own class library this can be expanded on later.
The processing works by reading in the merge template document, and then replacing values the mail merge field codes with the actual data then saving as the new file.
To start off we need to collect all the elements which describe the mail merge fields. These are identified by attribute called "instr" which contains a string value prefixed with "MERGEFIELD". For this I used LINQ to XML.
// Get all Mail Merge Fields
IList<XElement> mailMergeFields =
(from el in newBody.Descendants()
where el.Attribute(XMLNS + "instr") != null
select el).ToList();
// Replace all merge fields with Data
foreach (XElement field in mailMergeFields)
string fieldName = field.Attribute(XMLNS + "instr").Value.Replace("MERGEFIELD", string.Empty).Trim();
if (row.Table.Columns.Contains(fieldName))
XElement newElement = field.Descendants(XMLNS + "r").First();
newElement.Descendants(XMLNS + "t").First().Value = row.Field<string>(fieldName);
wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body = new Body(newBody.ToString());
Next we need to remove the recipientData.xml file out of the package.
// Delete MailMerge Data Source Part
DocumentSettingsPart settingsPart = wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.GetPartsOfType<DocumentSettingsPart>().First();
MailMergeRecipientDataPart mmrPart = settingsPart.GetPartsOfType<MailMergeRecipientDataPart>().First();
Lastly we remove the element that describes the data connection to the external data file. If this is not removed the document will prompt to connect to the original data source which may no longer be there especially if opened on another machine or from another location. This element is called: "mailMerge" and I use LINQ to XML to find it.
// Delete refrence to Mail Merge Data sources
XElement settings = XElement.Parse(settingsPart.RootElement.OuterXml);
IList<XElement> mailMergeElements =
(from el in settings.Descendants()
where el.Name == (XMLNS + "mailMerge")
foreach (XElement field in mailMergeElements)
settingsPart.RootElement.InnerXml = settings.ToString();
Using the Mail Merger
To test and consume my Open XML Mail Merge utility I built the AMMC console application as a test harness. The Main method calls out to several methods to process and validate the arguments, load the data source and handle all the errors. There are only 2 lines which use the MailMerger class library. One to new up a new MailMerger object and one to do the mail merge for every row in the data source.
// Create the MailMerger
MailMerger merger = new MailMerger(Template.FullName);
// Do MailMerge for earch record
foreach (DataRow row in dataSet.Tables[Data.Name].Rows)
// Get unique target file name
string uniqueFileName = CreateUniqueFileName(Target.FullName + "\\MMDoc.docx");
// Merge Data and Save File
merger.MailMerge(row, uniqueFileName);
Possible Improvements
There are many ways this application can be improved but here are a couple that I have thought of while building this application.
Manage the memory stream for the template a little better. There is no need to reload the template every time a row is merged.
Provide a couple of overload methods for the merge method to return documents in different formats like byte arrays of WordDocument objects rather than just saving to file.
In this code sample I set out to use the new Open XML SDK 2.0 to create an application for generating Word documents from a Mail Merge template using my own dataset. I made ready use of the Document Reflector to inspect the template. I made use of Open XML SDK 2.0's support for LINQ to XML. Overall, the supplied libraries and tools of the new Open XML SDK make the matter of building applications for document content generation much, much easier.
This worked for us very nicely, and being a class we can now incorporate it into our systems using our own datasources. Thank you so much. You've stopped me wasting about 4 days on this one issue - how to mergefields using OpenXML effectively. Other solutions and experiences others have had were disappointing to say the least.
Just to let you know that having a datasource in the Word docx file causes issues when the sources vary by the client or the template needs further modification. We found that by removing some of your code and removing the datasources from the Word template, the program was still able to work and not rely on having any data sources.
We deleted these lines of code ...
// // Delete MailMerge Data Source Part
// DocumentSettingsPart settingsPart = wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.GetPartsOfType<DocumentSettingsPart>().First();
// MailMergeRecipientDataPart mmrPart = settingsPart.GetPartsOfType<MailMergeRecipientDataPart>().First();
// settingsPart.DeletePart(mmrPart);
// // Delete refrence to Mail Merge Data sources
// XElement settings = XElement.Parse(settingsPart.RootElement.OuterXml);
// IList<XElement> mailMergeElements =
// (from el in settings.Descendants()
// where el.Name == (XMLNS + "mailMerge")
// select el).ToList();
// foreach (XElement field in mailMergeElements)
// {
// field.Remove();
// }
// settingsPart.RootElement.InnerXml = settings.ToString();
// settingsPart.RootElement.Save();
And we edited the template in Word and answered NO to when it asked for the datasource location and stripped off any references to the datasource in Word. Re-saved the template and all works really well now. Clients can edit the template to add other mergefields and all I have to do is alter the datasource before calling the class. Works like a sharm.
Thanks again. :)

Pride celebrations wrap Sunday with Minneapolis parade
Celebrations ensued in Minneapolis on Sunday following the Supreme Court's historic ruling allowing same-sex couples the right to marry in all 50 states. Downtown Minneapolis is home to a massive Pride festival each year, signs, flags, street closures and outdoor seating popped up all week, but this year's festival is expected to draw close to a record-breaking 450,000 people throughout the course of the weekend.
Loring Park launched Pridefest on Friday, and the Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade cascaded through Hennepin Avenue on Sunday to cap a historic weekend.
"The timing couldn't be any sweeter for this year's Twin Cities Pride Festival," Pride's Grand Marshall Andrea Jenkin said.
Scott Feldman, board chair of Twin Cities pride said there is a heightened sense of unity this year.
"Everybody is just shocked it happened in their lifetime," he remarked.
Not all of those anticipated 450,000 attendees came to party, however.
"They're lascivious and they're lost, and they're disgusting, and their dead in their trespasses and sin," one protestor said.
Monica Meyer, the executive director of Outfront Minnesota, an LGBTQ advocacy group, said such demonstrations are proof there is still progress to be made.
"I think that's because there are still messages out there that say it's not okay," she said.
For the thousands LGBTQ community members and allies there to rejoice, many still celebrate Minnesota being the 12th state in the nation to pass same-sex marriage on its own.

Asked by:
Valid to use Interactive Build Service without Test Agents for UITests?
I've set up a new TFS 2010 Buildserver to which I can VPN connect and submit a build from VS2010.
This successfully:
- deploys my db
- creates the build
- runs my unit tests
My next step is to push out and run my Automated UI tests as part of the same build. My problem is that the server involved is a Domain controller and as I understand things that prevents me from running a Test Controller/Agent on it (the obvious route for me with my one server).
I've seen some stuff on the web that talks about running the BUILD service interactively (rather than a Test Agent interactively) however I can't get this to work. When I try I get complaints about non created objects. (sorry: don't have access to the code right now!)
Can someone tell me is it valid these days to deploy UI tests via a TFS build like this i.e. without test controller/agents running anywhere? If not I am wondering what does it mean to have a Build service running interactively.
General discussion
All replies
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your post.
To execute Code UI Test in Team Build with the Interactive Process, please refer to the detailed steps in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mathew_aniyan/archive/2009/05/26/coded-ui-test-in-a-team-build.aspx.
As far as I know, the Test Controller/Agent can install on the Domain Controller(you can contact VS UI Automation Testing experts to confirm that). Configure TFS 2010 Team Build Server to run Code UI Test, please refer to this document: http://codesmartnothard.com/ConfiguringATFS2010TeamBuildServerToRunCodedUITests.aspx. And please refer to the replies in this post: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/tfsbuild/thread/d9ef6654-02b6-4ee7-8c74-d1aa4dd5a201.

MSDN Community Support | Feedback to us
Hi John
Thanks for this. These are roughly the blogs/articles I've been looking at and in fact kind of reinforce my basic question, which is do you actually need a test controller/agent? Your first blog:
makes no use of test agents/models and if this works then great the answer is 'No you don't necessarily need a test controller/agent'. I'm hoping this is true ... however I can't get it to work. My UI Tests, which work fine locally are generating
'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'
all over the place when I do this with either my build service user logged on locally to the server or Virtual Desktoped to it.
The reason I don't believe I can create a Test Controller/Agent on my Domain Controller is this :
You must not install and run a test controller on a computer that is also a domain controller."
I don't usually have a great deal of time for MS documentation but... well, when they put a box around it ;)
To be more specific, the following "test" will succeed locally but when it runs as part of the build on the build server it will fail if I have a browser window open on the server and a virtual desktop open to the server .
public void Account01LoginInvalidInputs()
var window = new BrowserWindow();
window.SearchProperties[UITestControl.PropertyNames.ClassName] = "IEFrame";
UITestControlCollection windows;
windows = window.FindMatchingControls();
The last line of code here is what is generating the error, which is:
LoginInvalidInputs threw exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Revealingly perhaps the test does pass on the buildserver if I DON't have a browser open on the server, so it is connecting at some level to the server.
If anyone's interested
- Running without Test Controllers/agents is valid - though a bit clunky
- You cannot run Test Controllers/Agents on a Domain controller
- My problem turned out to be specifically to do with a bug that can affect running Automated UI tests with TFS Builds. I came across a fix here ...

National Christian Foundation Celebrates $6 Billion in Contributions
National Christian Foundation (NCF), considered the largest Christian grant-making organization in the world, reached a monumental milestone in its giving history Tuesday when it received its six billionth dollar in contributions since 1982.
"To have reached this milestone with the heart of the year-end giving season still ahead of us is truly exciting, and we thank the thousands of generous givers who are expressing their generosity through NCF," said NCF National President David Wills. "They understand that giving is much more than a transaction – it's a transformational experience. Together, we're mobilizing an unprecedented amount of money for charities doing great, great work."
It took NCF just fourteen months to go from $5 billion to $6 billion in contributions. And of the $6 billion received, NCF has already granted $4.3 billion back out – which illustrates their commitment to rapidly mobilizing resources for charity, the foundation states. The growing number of contributions and grants indicates significant momentum for the busy season ahead, as givers complete their gifts before the December 31 tax deadline.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., National Christian Foundation (NCF) helps supporters simplify the process of giving to their favorite charities, and multiply the impact of their gifts through tax-wise strategies, according to the organization. Since 1982, NCF has become America's largest sponsor of donor-advised funds for Christian givers with over $6 billion in contributions and more than $4 billion granted to thousands of churches, ministries, and non-profits.
In 1982, three Christian financial experts came together with a vision for a new type of charitable foundation – one that would simplify the process of giving, multiply the results, and glorify the Lord, according to officials.
From a small office in Atlanta, Ga., bestselling author and entrepreneur Larry Burkett, leading financial advisor Ron Blue, and tax attorney Terry Parker began to introduce innovative, tax-wise solutions for transferring wealth to God's Kingdom.
Through their efforts, National Christian Foundation was born.
"We went on to introduce one of the first Christian-focused donor-advised funds – what we now call the Giving Fund," states NCF. "We also developed a special expertise in asset-based giving – the tax-smart way to donate non-cash assets such as real estate and business interests."
NCF states on its website: "Over the past three decades, we've become the nation's largest provider of donor-advised funds focused primarily on Christian givers. With our home office in Atlanta and affiliates across the country, we've assembled a team of over 200 of the brightest, most passionate experts in charitable giving. And while we're one of the largest non-profits in the U.S., you'll discover that we're still a family, united in Christ, all personally committed to generosity.
Today, we help thousands of generous believers, just like you, to reach their highest potential in giving. The result? More impact for the Kingdom, more joy for you, and ultimately, more glory for God."
For more information about NCF, givers can visit www.nationalchristian.com, where they'll find a blog that inspires generosity, and access to free giving resources designed to encourage business owners, professional advisors, churches, and ministries to become more generous.

We had a visit from the eponymous Bud Ward last week, who we widely found to be one of the nicest, low-key guys in the (auction) business. When we asked him what he had going on, he mentioned they'd recently ended up – via a bankruptcy – with an armored car consigned to their Sept ... Read more

Britney Spears' meltdown took a new turn when it was revealed that she was dating publicity addict, Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler.
Apparently the relationship started after Burrell was looking for his next shameful and grubby headline grabbing escapade. Hearing about Britney's problems, he waited until he had performed at Diana's inquest and boarded the next available trans Atlantic flight from Paris and went a wooing.
Finding the former Disney presenter in a drug fuelled daze, Burrell dazzled her with tales of his time fawning over Princess Diana. Britney was apparently impressed enough to go out for a night on the town with the elderly butler, which Burrell made sure was snapped up by photographers. In all the shots he had his traditional and nauseating facial expression of tortured patience.
Asked why he had been attracted by Britney, he said: "What can I say? I am drawn to damaged, vulnerable women who have the full glare of publicity on them and where I can make a mint."
Burrell's book - "All the secrets Britney told me" is due out next month.

Alan Sculley of The Morning Call recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.On the latest MEGADETH album, "Super Collider": Mustaine: "I think 'Super Collider' is kind of like a really broad [distillation] of what our whole catalog represents. There's aggressive stuff, there's thrashy stuff, there's kind of more of the heavy metal stuff. There are some of the more introspective lyrics. There are some simple lyrics and soon and so forth. I think that's what really makes the record refreshing is that it shows everything that we've done. It's almost like a biopic of our career. It's a pretty good slice of everything I've learned over the years." On MEGADETH's current lineup: Mustaine: "Having David [Ellefson, bass] back and the relationship I have with Shawn [Drover, drums] and Chris [Broderick, guitar], we're a really strong outfit right now. Not to use a cliché, but it's pretty orgasmic. It's almost like [payback for] all of the ills and the ailments that we've had to deal with over the last however many years, with lineup changes and regime changes at labels and label changes and management changes." On working with "THIRT3EN" producer Johnny K again on "Super Collider": Mustaine: "He [Johnny K] went home [at some point during the 'Super Collider' sessions] and I just kept forging forward and used the engineer that I was using, Cameron Webb, who's been doing a lot of MOTÖRHEAD stuff. It was really funny because Shawn Drover, our drummer, is really, really quiet and a really professional guy. And he said he enjoyed his time more with the engineer than he did with the guy that was working with me in the production seat. And I was like 'Really?' He said 'Oh yeah, just night and day.' "I've got to tell you Cameron was very, very vital and instrumental [to 'Super Collider']. He's a great young producer. I really wish the best for him, and I know he's going to be super successful because he's young and he's totally got his finger on the pulse." On MEGADETH's current headlining tour: Mustaine: "We have video for all of the songs we're going to be playing and a pretty elaborate lighting set-up. We've always tried to keep the gimmicks out of our music because there are so many bands that, they just don't really have the songs, so they have gimmicks. So we try to keep it focused to the music." Read the entire interview at The Morning Call.

SHERIDAN — Seven students from the Northern Wyoming Community College District took part in the six-day Association of College Unions International I-LEAD 2014 institute at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, Illinois, last week.
Six students from Gillette College and one from Sheridan College represented the NWCCD at the conference, which revolves around communication, intercultural proficiency and student learning.
SC Student Senate Vice President Seth Gray attended the event. This is the third consecutive year Sheridan College has sent a student to the institute, said SC Director of Housing and Campus Life Larissa Bonnet.
The Gillette College students included Student Senate president Cody Jolovich, Student Senate Vice President Kyle Dietsche, Senate Secretary Fabian Munoz-Student, Student Senate Treasurer Ali Piaia, Student Senate liaison Amanda Hutchinson and journalism student Jennifer Kellert.
This is the first time Gillette College students have taken part in I-LEAD.
"We are very fortunate to have been able to send our executive board members of Student Senate to I-LEAD this year," said Susan Serge, manager of counseling and ADA Services at Gillette College. "I truly believe that the leadership skills our students are developing and refining will be tremendously impactful for our work this year and years to follow at Gillette College."

Motorists urged to watch for crews
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) reminds motorists to slow down and use caution when encountering crews doing maintenance and road repairs on area highways.
Pothole patching and crack sealing are necessary each spring during the freeze-thaw cycle.
Motorists need to be aware that a maintenance operation is a slow-moving work zone and that there may be multiple trucks and flaggers involved with lane closures.
Drivers are urged to slow down when approaching a maintenance operation, use caution and pass one truck at a time, being careful not to cross the centerline or drift over the fog line.
Motorists are also reminded of Minnesota's "Move Over Law." If motorists travel on a roadway with two or more lanes, they must stay one full lane away when passing stopped emergency or maintenance vehicles.
If motorists cannot move over, they should reduce their speeds.
For Minnesota statewide travel information, visit www.511mn.org, call 5-1-1 or visit www.mndot.gov.

I've always been what Southerners refer to as a "yellow dog Democrat," meaning I'd have voted for a yellow dog as long as the critter was a Dem. But the past few weeks have shown me the error of my ways.
I'm turning Republican.
In what other party can you be elected to high public office after admitting a predilection for groping gals and public sex, as has been the case with Herr Schwarzenegger? Or, as is in l'affaire Limbaugh, receive the sympathy of fellow wing-nuts after being exposed as a hypocrite and Oxycontin addict?
These days, it seems membership in the Republican Party is like 007's license to kill, or at least a get-out-of-jail-free card. Could a Dem elude obloquy for the same activities? Hardly. After all, former President Clinton was impeached and nearly removed from office for a few consensual blowjobs, while Ahnuld was voted in after admitting some vague memory of participation in multiple sexual assaults.
There being no point in whining about the Republicans, I have joined them. And not just for the great sex and drugs. I'm in this for the food.
Republicans eat better because they have the money to do so, and this rotund gourmand is all about eating like a pre-guillotine Bourbon prince. So to celebrate my electoral switch, I decided to lunch at San Juan Capistrano's Café Mozart, known for its none-too-cheap continental cuisine.
Nestled in the courtyard of Mercado Village, a complex of offices built to vaguely resemble a smaller version of the Capistrano Mission only a few blocks away, the establishment faces a quaint stone fountain and is shaded by immense eucalyptus trees. The interior is homey, the sort of place old ladies meet for tea. But on the day I visited, the weather was splendid, so I chose to eat outside at one of the tables covered in green.
As the name indicates, Café Mozart's menu is German-Austrian themed, so I ordered a tall stein of Aktien Oktoberfest ($5), a pale lagerish beer that went well with my appetizer of Bavarian bread dumplings. The egg-sized dumplings come two per order and sit in a brown pool of wild mushrooms. Made of three different kinds of bread and flecked with bacon, the moist dough balls soak up the savory mushroom juice, caressing one's taste buds as they ease down the gullet.
Though Café Mozart offers some reasonably priced sandwiches for lunch, I was keen to try their beef Wellington, a pastry made famous by that same Duke of Wellington who spanked Napoleon at Waterloo. Though this item is on their dinner menu, my genial waiter assured me they could comply. To drink with it, I ordered a darker beer—dunkel in German—made by the renowned Weltenburger Kloster brewery, a monastery and brewery dating to 1050. Well, let's hear it for those monks! I've had the Weltenburger dunkel before, and this time, as every time, the malty, brownish-black brew left me smacking my lips with glee.

A lovely salad of mixed greens topped with slivers of red and yellow potato chips and a sort of honey-mustard dressing preceded the main course. Then came the beef Wellington: baked puff pastry inside of which is a brandy-flamed filet covered in mushrooms and pâté. An amber, brandy-tinged sauce surrounded the pastry, and before each bite, I made sure the crust was drenched in it. The meat itself was a little chewier than I expected, but overall, I can't say my stomach complained in the least. This was accompanied by green beans, baby carrots, and scalloped potatoes so creamy and scrumptious I could have had another helping for dessert.
Fortunately, I went with apple strudel and coffee. They give you a nice helping of strudel here, topped with vanilla sauce and fresh, hand-whipped cream—nothing like the stuff you buy in the store. Eating my strudel and drinking my coffee, I could have whiled away the whole afternoon before that gurgling fountain, but the establishment closes at 3 p.m. for a break before dinner. After paying the bill, I walked inside briefly, hoping to get a matchbook with their logo on it. (Sadly, they had none.) There on the wall, what did I see but framed photos of monarchs Reagan and Bush II, a sign of the owner's political allegiance and further proof that Republicans really do eat like kings.
Café Mozart, located at 31952 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, is open Tues.-Thurs., 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. & 5:30-9 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. & 5:30-10 p.m. (949) 496-0212; www.cafemozart.net. Beer and wine. Dinner for two, $80, food only. All major credit cards accepted.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
President Obama faced his most surprising critics Saturday night when he delivered remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus's annual gala dinner. In recent weeks, CBC members, who still deeply support Obama, have been more publically open about their discontent over what they've perceived to be a lack of targeted policy solutions to address Black unemployment, which jumped to a scary high in August.
The president acknowledged that progress has been slow and that he understands their frustration, but told the audience that it is important that they not give in to their discouragement.
"Throughout our history, change has often come slowly. Progress often takes time. We take a step forward, sometimes we take two steps back. Sometimes we get two steps forward and one step back," Obama said. "But it's never a straight line. It's never easy. And I never promised easy. Easy has never been promised to us. But we've had faith. We have had faith. We've had that good kind of crazy that says, you can't stop marching."
Obama acknowledged that the economic crises taking place in the nation and in too many households throughout the country are "heartbreaking" and cited the "fierce opposition" that both he and congressional Democrats are up against in their efforts to restore prosperity through shared sacrifice and not by making the rich richer. He said that while Democrats have won some important fights, such as the health care reform bill, there are more fights ahead and he needs CBC members to help him.
"We have to do more to put people to work right now. We've got to make that everyone in this country gets a fair shake, and a fair shot, and a chance to get ahead. And I know we won't get where we need to go if we don't travel down this road together. I need you with me," he said.
But the president also called out CBC members for recent public rebukes during their August jobs initiative, which White House officials have privately complained were unfair and unfounded. And in what was perhaps a sly reference to Rep. John Conyers' threat to hold a protest march in front of the White House on the night of the dinner, Obama urged the Black lawmakers to march with him.
"I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I am going to press on," he said. "I expect all of you to march with me and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We've got work to do, CBC."

Colin Kaepernick disputed he's having trouble going through his progressions in the passing game, a criticism recently levied by former 49ers quarterback and current ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer.
"I didn't hear what he had to say, but he's not in the building with us, so what he's saying doesn't affect me at all," Kaepernick said Wednesday. "I'm worried about what this team thinks and what I'm going to do for my teammates."
Teammates and coach Jim Harbaugh stood strongly behind Kaepernick on Wednesday, three days after their five-game win streak ended amid the quarterback's worst career outing in terms of passing yards (91) and sacks (six).
"He's going to prepare like no other, come out Sunday and put on a show for us," linebacker NaVorro Bowman said of Sunday's game between the 49ers (6-3) and host New Orleans Saints (7-2). "That's just what we need. He's the leader of this team."
Dilfer took Kaepernick to task after that 10-9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, saying Kaepernick becomes "remedial" as a quarterback when his first potential target is covered.
Kaepernick's response: "I think you should ask him if he knows what my progression is first before he says that."
Harbaugh gave no credence to the criticism of his quarterback and noted that Kaepernick won ceremonial game balls for his efforts in the 49ers' two wins that preceded Sunday's defeat.
"We don't think anything's wrong with Colin," Harbaugh said. "His progress has been good. He's playing winning football for us and that's what we expect."
Kaepernick now heads to the Superdome, site of his first road win as the 49ers starter last November and also where the 49ers lost Super Bowl XLVII in 34-31 fashion to the Baltimore Ravens.
Saints coach Sean Payton isn't taking Kaepernick lightly, even though the 49ers remain saddled with the league's worst-ranked passing attack.
"He's explosive. He's someone who has a great handle on what they're doing offensively," Payton said on a media conference call. "A lot's asked of him at the line of scrimmage in regards to the run game and getting into the right play.
"If you track his season a year ago and his confidence level leading up to Super Bowl, it is quite an accomplishment. He und what it takes to win games. He does a great job protecting the football and leading the offense."
If you track his season a year ago and his confidence level leading up to Super Bowl, it is quite an accomplishment. He und what it takes to win games. He does a great job protecting the football and leading the offense."
Kaepernick insisted he hasn't changed from his breakout 2012 campaign. He conceded that defenses are adding "little wrinkles here, little wrinkles there" to thwart the 49ers' scheme.
Center Jonathan Goodwin noted that defenses are especially more prepared for read-option plays. "You've seen at times guys attack those mesh points differently and they've been more aggressive," Goodwin said. "Defenses have had all offseason to prepare for some things we did last year."
That said, all three of Kaepernick's rushing touchdowns came in the 49ers' two games that preceded their loss to the Panthers.
"Of course, he hasn't had the really big numbers he's had in the past, but I see a confident quarterback," Goodwin said. "… It's not as easy to just light it up."

Sherkness continues Marian tradition
Copyright 2012
Steeped in tradition, the Marian volleyball program has become a fertile breeding ground for great players.
The program has produced the top volleyball player in the TIMES NEWS area in each of the last 19 years, and it will no doubt field several top-level players in the years to come.
However, it could be a while before it sees another one the caliber of Marykate Sherkness.
Not only has Sherkness started all four years of her high school career at outside hitter, but the 5-10 Tresckow resident has raised the bar for the Fillies' entire volleyball program.
The Marian senior has also set the standard of continuing a time-honored tradition of being the 19th consecutive TIMES NEWS Volleyball Player of the Year from Marian, a streak that dates back to 1994, when Brianne Homyak won the first of her three Player of the Year awards. Sherkness joins Homyak as the only three-time Volleyball Player of the Year recipient (2010-2012), and joins a list of two-time winners including Maria Poluka, Mary Horvat and Jill Homyak.
"Marykate's contributions are measured in her statistics and in her leadership," stated Marian head coach John "Doc" Fallabel. "Over the past few years, she's put the team on her shoulders and taken them as far as she could. She's a once-in-a-lifetime player and she's the best outside hitter that Marian's ever seen."
Over the course of her storied career, Sherkness has led the team to a combined record of 68-9. In addition, Sherkness was named the Schuylkill League Division 4 Player of the Year for the third straight season, was recognized as the District 11 Class A Most Valuable Player, and was selected to the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association Class A All-State team for the third consecutive year.
"I don't play volleyball for records and awards, I play for the love of the game," stated a humbled Sherkness. "To be recognized as the Player of the Year for the past three seasons is a tremendous honor, but I've had the privilege of playing with great teammates and great coaches over those years and I couldn't have accomplished any of this without them. A great hit is only made possible because of a great pass and a great set."
As a killing machine, Sherkness has certainly made a career out of "great hits."
In her junior year, she set a single-season record for kills in a season with 564. With 160 kills her freshman year, 471 kills her sophomore season and 457 kills this past year, Sherkness also holds the career kills record at Marian with 1,652. She is the only Marian volleyball player to have eclipsed 400 kills in a season (accomplished three times) and is the lone Fillie to exceed 1,000 kills for her career. In doing so, she obliterated Jen Blasko's previous career kills record of 853.
Her 1,652 kills on 3,601 total attacks is good for a .320 career hitting percentage. In addition, Sherkness also had 294 career aces (second all time to Kayla Poluka), 931 career digs (third all time behind Taylor Mele and Devin Parambo) and 106 career blocks.
This season, Sherkness compiled 457 kills (on 972 attacks), 82 aces, 236 digs and 27 blocks in leading the Fillies to their first District 11 Class A championship since 2006 and a trip to the PIAA State semifinals.
While she had 150 fewer attacks and 107 less kills this season, it was all part of the plan according to Fallabel.
"To be successful and to go further than we have in the past, we needed to get other girls involved in the offense. Her attacks and kills were down tremendously this year, but that wasn't because she wasn't doing as well," added Fallabel. "She was actually playing as good as, if not better than, she's ever played before, but she was contributing more for the good of the team and that's just the type of unselfish player she is. She sacrificed personal goals for team goals and got the big prize in the end."
After falling short in the three previous years, winning her first District 11 Championship and going on a deep run in the State playoffs this season were the final pieces needed to provide closure for one of the greatest careers in the history of Marian volleyball.
"Getting that District Championship and going to States was my biggest goal for this season, but the thing I'm most proud of is just being able to say I've worn the Marian volleyball jersey," stated Sherkness. "Looking back on the last four years, I have no regrets and I've accomplished more than I ever thought possible. I'm just so proud to say I've started playing volleyball in the first place and I couldn't have asked for a better place to play than Marian."
Sherkness plans on attending college to play volleyball, and has narrowed her choices down to Elizabethtown, Lebanon Valley, Scranton and Susquehanna.
"Marykate has meant so much to this program over the years, and while I'm going to miss her as a volleyball player, I'm going to miss her even more as a person. You hate to see her move on, you know she must move on, and it's time for her to move on," said Fallabel. "Going forward, we'll be OK though, and Marykate knows that because she's left her imprint on the program and contributed to the legacy. She's raised the bar and set lofty goals for others to now achieve, and that's what Marian volleyball is all about."

I have talked a lot in my posts about being mentored and learning from others. I think continuous learning is a critical part of being a leader and anyone who has stopped learning will not be leading much longer. However, there can be an easily overlooked danger in this that I want to address.
Endless Supply Of Material
If you have access to the internet, then you literally have access to more leaders than you can count. You can read books and blogs or watch videos and webinars on virtually any subject or topic you choose. There is a virtually endless supply of wisdom out there to be gleaned.
Even if you narrow your search down to Christian business leaders, it would not be very difficult to find more material than you can absorb in a year. Quite simply, there is not a shortage of opportunities for learning or gaining wisdom in the world today.
I have been overwhelmed at times with the abundance of godly wisdom that is available. In fact, there have been times where I have been reading two or three different books or blogs at one time. While it can sometimes get confusing, I have enjoyed the variety.
So what exactly is the danger that we need to avoid?
How can continuous learning cause us trouble?
Danger Example In Scripture
These are good questions, but before I answer them I want to take a look at an example from Scripture. In the following passage, Peter steps into a danger zone. It is this area that I want to discuss.
After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transformed in front of them, and His clothes became dazzling—extremely white as no launderer on earth could whiten them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"— because he did not know what he should say, since they were terrified.
A cloud appeared, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud:
This is My beloved Son;
listen to Him!
Then suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus alone.
Mark 9:2-8
Three Tabernacles?
Did you catch the danger area for Peter? Look back at what Peter said about building three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. What was wrong with that? Why should we consider this a danger zone?
I am not sure it is really clear until you read further and see how God responded. Read again what He says to them – "This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!"
I believe that Peter was in awe over seeing Moses and Elijah. As a Jew, Peter saw these two guys as legendary men of faith. God worked incredible miracles through them and their lives were studied in depth by Jewish children as they came up in the synagogue.
For Americans, this would be like suddenly meeting George Washington and Ben Franklin. For students of business, the equivalent might be Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. Athletes might compare this to meeting Babe Ruth and Jim Thorpe.
I think you get the idea, but maybe the danger is still unclear.
God Interrupts
Think about it. Peter is clearly enamored with meeting these two legends and immediately wants to do something to show his excitement. Rather than thinking it through, he blurts out the first thing that comes to mind – to build three tabernacles or shelters for the tow of them and Jesus.
This is when God steps in and speaks. It is not often that God does this so we need to pay attention when He does. We should immediately realize that there is something important for us to learn here.
When God speaks, He makes it known that Jesus is His Son and that Peter (and the others) should listen to Him. Why did He do this?
Wrong Star!
What Peter did not realize was that while Moses and Elijah were great men, they were not great enough to be put on par with Jesus! Even though Peter should have been in awe of their presence, he should have been that much more in awe over being in the presence of Jesus, the Son of God! I don't think it is coincidental that as soon as God said this, Jesus is the only one still standing there.
Too often, like Peter, we get caught up in who is the latest leader or guru in our industry. We want to read the latest book on business by the most recent author to rise to the top of his area of expertise. We even take pride in telling people what we have read and who we are learning from.
Jesus Stands Alone
Unfortunately, the danger is in the possibility of putting these people on par with Jesus. Even worse, we might be putting them ahead of Jesus! And while God is not using his booming voice to shock us back into the right mindset, passages like the one above should make it obvious that we are out of line.
Peter got caught up in the moment and went too far in showing honor to Moses and Elijah. We often do the same when we stop seeking our wisdom from Jesus, replacing Him with whoever it is that intrigues us at the moment.
Jesus As Foundation
To avoid this danger, we all need to make sure we build a foundation of learning from Jesus through consistent Bible study and prayer. We need to allow the wisdom from God's Word to be our first and most important source of wisdom – whether it is for our business, job, or family. He should be first.
From there, there is no danger in adding godly wisdom from other sources as well. We just need to remember to keep this other wisdom in perspective, comparing it to Scripture and only applying that which matches what we read there.
Have you been guilty of putting others on par with Jesus?
Can you see the danger of doing this?
How do you make sure Jesus is your foundation first?

What Does Google Think of Dallas' Best Suburbs?
Take a look at North Texas towns according to Street View.
View Larger Map
By now you've surely been up and down and up again our ranking of the Best Dallas Suburbs. Our sortable chart allows you to reorder the 64 North Texas towns (Dallas is included for comparison's sake) on the list by factors such as population, crime, education, or just the overall ambiance of the place.
So you know what our numbers say. But what does the all-knowing, all-seeing Google machine think of our cities? How does Google Maps present us to the world? To find out, I asked for directions from Dallas, Texas (unspecified address) to each of the suburbs (unspecified address). Wherever Google dropped its pin representing each, I took a look around via the magic of Street View.
That gives us the spot to which Google will direct travelers who don't know exactly where they want to go in these towns, just that they want to get there. To my mind, that makes these locations the virtual entryway to each, the online face of these cities. I leave it to you to interpret whether there's any deeper significance to where Google's directions would take you and what it says about our suburbs. (By the way, in Dallas, the location is Main Street downtown, right next to Plush nightclub)

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Blessings In A Backpack Inc, Louisville, KY, USA
This organization is not open with their information. I would be warry of donating to them. They have lots of fun, heartwarming stories, but no 990 posted and when I tried to get more information about where they worked in my area, or the specific numbers of kids served, they blew smoke in my face and said something about privacy and protecting kids. I am all for helping kids, but when it comes to my donation, I will give it to an organization that's transparent and one I can trust.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
not sufficiently satisfying my inquiry for information that would only aid the organization by making it available
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Dassault Systèmes (DS) has acquired Geensoft, a provider of embedded systems development solutions, for €5.5 Million. The V6 portfolio is expanded by adding the capacity to model and generate the entire vehicle control software system, according to the company, allowing a validation loop by connecting the physical equipment with the digital mock up.
"I am delighted to have Geensoft's team of experts join Dassault Systèmes," says Dominique Florack, senior executive vice president, Products, Research and Development, Dassault Systèmes. "Together we will make the virtual product closer to the real world."
DS's V6 PLM platform delivers a collaborative environment that can bring together multiple systems engineering disciplines, working with hundreds of disconnected domain-specific tools.
"We are a long-time user of the Geensoft tools, including the AUTOSAR Builder, ControlBuild and Reqtify embedded solutions," says Patrick Sudan, director of Automation, PSA Peugeot Citroën. "The integration of Geensoft's innovative capabilities around modeling with DS' systems engineering solutions and the ability to leverage models in embedded electronics and automation for development, integration and validation is very good news for corporate customers, such as PSA. By providing integration in the PLM design environment, we believe this acquisition has the potential to significantly improve the overall efficiency of our vehicle design process in the future."

Hell of a change from Thursday, when ISIS was "a threat beyond anything we've seen". Nice to have a consistent foreign policy.
Yep....I guess they're gonna wait til the US is attacked and then, maybe retaliate..9/11 taught them nothing
9/11 taught US nothing, (present company excluded). Americans are oblivious.
Monday, August 25, 2014State Department Barbie: She's Come UndoneOkay, I ignored your complaints at first. I resisted your demands that the spokesmouths for the State Department be demoted from their JV status to intramural. However, based on this recent statement by Marie Harf – darling of the Mo Beta Sorority of the Traveling Pants – I've been forced to reconsider my position:Thursday at the daily briefing, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf declined to acknowledge ISIS' declaration of war with the Untied States of America. When a reporter said,"The reality is ISIS has announced it's in a war against America," adding, "Right or wrong that is what they are saying." Harf replied, "Well, they can say whatever they'd like, but what I am making clear is that's not what ISIL represents. And they don't represent any religion. They are at war with everybody they come into contact with."Now, before you all pile on State's Ms. Harf, let me point out that she's only 33 years old – which translates to about 14 in sorority-girl years. How much intellectual maturity can you expect, really? ...
With a Billion dollars at their disposal, ISIS makes Al -Qaeda look like corner beggars in comparison. AQ had their training camps, a huge stock pile of shoulder fired weapons and material to make IEDs. And they where determined to demonstrate their terror capabilities, much of it suicide bombings and IEDs, and an occasional attack abroad. ISIS however has a rolling army, equipped with as much equipment and weapons, and men as many small countries. And they are taking territory, just as a rolling army would. They are extremely brutal, and will not be stopped by negotiations, or pin-point pricks. Only with their complete extermination, can they be stopped. The one thing in our favor is they have spread themselves out too thin. Now is the time! If we don't do it with "boots on the ground" then by God we better do it through the Kurds and the Iraqi Army. But it needs to get done, and now.
The difference being that AQ actually attacked the United States. Nobody is saying these guys shouldn't be dealt with, but it needs to stop being us who deals with all of this stuff. How many more decades of war and countless billions are we willing to spend accomplishing nothing in the Middle East?
THIS is the type of thing that I always envisioned the United Nations facilitating - but it doesn't seem to be happening.
I agree Dex, this has to be a global effort, and it has to be couched in no uncertain terms - you're either WITH the civilized world, or you are AGAINST it. THIS is the type of thing that I always envisioned the United Nations facilitating - but it doesn't seem to be happening. There is no redeeming feature of ISIS that proves their worth to a civilized world - in fact, they are the opposite.
...which is exactly what George W. Bush did BEFORE attacking Saddam Hussein's Iraq. FOURTEEN UN resolutions, dozens of signed pledges from countries around the world were also obtained.And yet, because it was a Republican president, history was quickly rewritten..or an attempt was made to do so.
