PORTERDALE - The architectural firm hired by the city to restore the burned out Porter Memorial Gymnasium presented four layout options to the City Council at a work session Thursday night at City Hall.Janice Wittschiebe, a principal with the firm of Richard Wittschiebe Hand of Atlanta, told the council and about half a dozen residents that both structural and architectural assessments of the building have been completed. She said that seismic testing of the building's exterior brick walls indicates that they are structurally sound and can be used as part of the restoration. The firm has also conducted visioning workshops with town residents and interviewed both current and former residents of Porterdale. Based on those discussions, project manager Tanya Richard said one common theme emerged. "People said 'We want it rebuilt just like it was, and we want it to be a community center,'" she said. All four designs presented Thursday night featured a basketball court as the central characteristic of the project. Other features included a second floor walkway overlooking the basketball court, a movable performance stage, training rooms, meeting rooms, a small banquet room and warming kitchen, and exercise rooms. Newton County Recreation Department Director Tommy Hailey, who is a native of Porterdale and is working with Richard Wittschiebe Hand on renovation of the old Cousins Gym in Covington, suggested that the City Council meet with Newton County Recreation Commission members and county officials to see if there is a possibility of forming a partnership that would make funding for the project available through a future special purpose local option sales tax. Councilman Mike Harper reminded those present that Porterdale has limited funds for the renovation project. He suggested keeping the basketball court, restrooms and locker rooms as part of the renovation but using the other space for city offices. The city could then tear down its existing City Hall and Police Department, which are located across Broad Street from the gym, and sell that property to help finance the project. "This way we could get it built before it sits there another four years," he said. Walter Davis, who developed the Porterdale Mill Lofts in a former textile mill building in Porterdale, said he would rather the city focus the project on the gymnasium and banquet facilities - not a city hall. He agreed that it would benefit the project if the city and county could work out a partnership for funding and use of the facility. "I think it would be a huge benefit for Porterdale for the Recreation Department to be feeding their people over here," Davis said. Davis added that the Recreation Department has more experience at generating funds for the renovation and operation of the gym. "If we make the whole thing a recreation facility, it could be a gem for the whole county," he said. Mayor Bobby Hamby said the city needs to decide on a plan for the gym before anything else can be done. He also said the city would need to meet with the Recreation Commission, the Board of Commissioners and others to determine if partnerships are an option. City Council members agreed to study the four proposals presented Thursday and meet with Richard Wittschiebe Hand again in about a month. Porter Memorial Gymnasium was gutted by a fire that left the gym's exterior brick walls standing, but nothing remaining of the interior. The Porterdale Gym was built as a gift to the city from Oliver and Julia Porter, the owners of Bibb Manufacturing Company. The facility was built with wood floors and wood bleachers that could seat as many as 5,000 people. The structure was vacant at the time of the blaze, and most of the contents were destroyed, including old city records and all of the city's Christmas decorations.

2001. That's the last time Allen and Albert Hughes have directed a feature film: their underrated adaptation of Alan Moore's Jack the Ripper tale, From Hell. In between then and now, the Hughe Brothers have each developed solo projects, helmed TV commercials and music videos together, and pitched projects around town. This writer's had the good fortune to work with them on a couple, believe it or not.
Well, the time has come for the brothers to rise again with their post-apocalyptic opus, The Book of Eli, currently being shot in New Mexico. The film stars Denzel Washington as the titular hero, who treks across a barren wasteland of a future United States to protect a book that may mean man's survival. Head over to USA Today for an in-depth first-look at the pic. Or if you're not in the mood to read…
Check out some of the new photos from the production after the jump.
Yeah, that's right. Gary Oldman's in it, too. According to USA Today, he plays Carnegie, "a town leader interested in acquiring Eli's book." If that doesn't have villain written all over it, I'll eat my handlebar mustache I'm currently twirling between my thumb and forefinger.
The Book of Eli is scheduled for a 2010 release.

Testing not required for homeschooled children, KTAR 92.3, Phoenix, Arizona
Nearly one percent of all Arizona students are now being home-schooled, but Candace Cochran from the county's school's office says there's no way of knowing how well they're doing because they aren't required to be tested.
The rewrite:
Civilizing influences not required for institutionally-schooled children
Nearly ninety-nine percent of all Arizona children are now being sent to school, but there's no way of knowing how well they're civilized because they are confined to same-age groupings.
"When institutional schooling first began, children were grouped in one-room schoolhouses so that they were able to both teach and learn from children older and younger than themselves. They're no longer required to do that."
The only social requirement is that they not visit with their neighbors.
Learning to get along and mind their manners are optional.
"A number of institutionally-schooled children go on to be very successful. A number of institutionally-schooled children don't go on to be very successful. It just depends on how much the schooling staff work with children, depends on how much latitude the schools gives the children in learning how to relate to others in a fair and logical manner."

Greetings! A small family run business, Sacred Succulents was founded in 1997, borne from our love of plants and a calling to the sacred duty of their conservation through propagation, dissemination and education. While our initial focus was succulents and xerophytes, our travels and the necessity of species conservation has us propagating a diverse cornucopia of unusual and wonderful beneficial plants from remote and immediate regions of our fecund planet. We strive toward maximizing biodiversity in our gardens and offerings. Widespread dispersal of plants along with propagation on an individual level is one of the most viable means of helping protect wild populations while assuring the evolutionary expansion of these botanical wonders.
We all have the strange grace to live in this time of climatic change and massive biological extinction recognized to be greater than anything the biosphere has experienced in 65 million years. Plant extinctions have been estimated at a loss of nearly 2 species a day. Along with this extinction is the loss of our collective human heritage, as the cultures, languages, dreams and songs that were intimately woven to those species disappear with them. Amongst thousands of known food plants, the world's food supply relies on a scant dozen. We must do much more than save heirloom varieties and landraces of the major crops. We encourage you to relearn the forgotten indigenous foods and medicines of your region and of your lineage. Where habitat still exists, these are often disappearing from the fields and forests for lack of tending. Experiment with strange and rare edible plants, expand your palate. These are the seeds of true health and food security.
Whether you have a bright window in a city apartment, a suburban house with a yard, or access to acres of land, you can take part in the nurturing of endangered plants, propagate them and pass along the seeds, starts, attendant aspirations and ethnobotanical knowledge to friends. Realize the power we each have to assist our vanishing flora, acting as conservationists through a simple and joyful role as gardeners, horticulturalists, admirers of plants. These small endeavors help to put us in resonance with the viridian heartbeat of the biosphere, a reminder of earthly things like soil, weather and mooncycles in a world increasingly adrift in the navel gaze of cyberspace. Attention to seasonal gifts such as Spring flowers can refresh our wonder in the delicate fortitude of life in all its myriad forms. There is so much life and potential to celebrate all around us!
Our coveted paper catalog is beautifully illustrated and full of ethnobotanical and horticultural information including detailed seed germination and propagation techniques. Some of what we offer:
- Cacti– endangered Ariocarpus, Aztekium, Pelecyphora, Turbinicarpus species… we have one of the most diverse selections of Trichocereus species including new hybrids and mutant San Pedros. We are involved with ongoing studies of this genus in South America: mapping distribution, ecology, ethnobotany and taxonomy through genetic analysis to aid preservation.
- Other Succulents & Xerophytes– Aloe, rare and hardy Agave & Yucca, Baobabs & caudiciforms, aromatic Bursera (Copal, Palo Santo), Commiphora (Myrrh, Guggul) & Boswellia species (Frankincense), rare Echeveria, a large selection of Ephedra species, Hoodia gordonii, medicinal Peperomia, uncommon Puya, obscure Rhodiola & Sedum species, Sceletium tortuosum…
- Unusual & Rare Perennial Edible Plants– Gaultheria, Vaccinium, Amelanchier, Lycium, Elaeagnus, Rubus, Ribes, Ugni, Agapetes … Chufa, Capers, Ramps & rare Alliums, Rampion, Breadroot, Vigna subterranea & edible bulbs, tubers, vines, fruit trees and more for adventurous gardeners, permaculturalists, and food forest fanatics.
- Obscure Medicinals– Codonopsis species, Gold Root, Green tea, Honeybush & Rooibos, Maralroot, Mandrake, Sea Buckthorn, heirloom Tobacco, Yaupon, Yerba Mate, Dioscorea, Dan Shen & other Salvia species, Shatavari, Umckaloaba, Silene capensis…

- Andean Ethnobotanicals– From our annual expeditions. Ancient medicinals and species from one of the most imperiled forest ecosystems on the planet- Polylepis, Buddleja, Hesperomeles, Alnus, Escallonia, Erythrina, Anadenanthera, Puya raimondii, Calceolaria, Macleania, Cavendishia, Pernettya, Bomarea, Cypella, Phaedranassa, Stenomesson, etc. Traditional Andean food plants- Caigua, Kaniwa & Quinoa, Tarwi, Aguaymanto, Naranjilla, Tamarillo, Sauco Berries, Ulupica Pepper, Lacayote squash, Congona, Jaltomata, wild Tomatoes, Passiflora and a large selection of heirloom tubers- Ajipa, Oca, Ulluco, Achira, Mashua, Mauka, Arracacha, Yacon, Maca.

Public Domain Pledge
An important terms of business note to all our customers:
In order to be in line with our mission to support the preservation of botanical biodiversity, following the lead of J.L. Hudson Seeds and in recognition that the biodiversity of the Earth is the common heritage of all life, all of our seed and plant offerings are now Public Domain. This means that all plants and seeds are supplied solely under the following conditions: We expressly prohibit the use of any seeds or plants supplied by us, or their progeny, in any form of genetic engineering, breeding, or research which will result in any form of life patent, variety protection, trademarks, breeder's rights or any form of intellectual property applied to living things which would compromise the Public Domain status of the seeds, plants, their progeny and any genetic material therein. We expressly prohibit the transfer to any third party of any seeds, plants, their progeny or any portion of their genetic material without these prohibitions in place. Commercial propagation is encouraged, but in the unlikely event that large-scale commercial distribution is achieved, benefit-sharing along the path towards the source, in accordance with the spirit of the International Convention on Biological Diversity, will be undertaken. Thank you for your understanding and support!

The community is invited to Oak View Library's Book-to-Action series of discussions to be held during the month of July, featuring the book, "A Place at the Table: The Crisis of 49 Million Hungry Americans and How to Solve It", edited by Peter Pringle.
This book is a companion to the 2012 nationally released documentary of the same title, which shed light on the fact that nearly 50 million Americans - one in four children- don't know where their next meal is coming from .
The companion book features essays from people on the front lines in solving hunger in America, including representatives from the No Kid Hungry campaign, anti-hunger activists, sociologists, community food project experts and more. This is an especially important topic for our county, where 58,160 students are eligible for free/reduced price meals, according to the 2010 Ventura County Nutrition and Food Insecurity Profile.
This Book-to-Action program is a variation on the traditional library book group—it offers participants not only the opportunity to collectively read and discuss a book, but they will also view the documentary, meet a local expert in the field of hunger abatement, and put their newfound knowledge into action by engaging in a modest community service project.
Registration is limited, so call or visit the Oak View Library to sign-up, pick up a copy of the book, and get reading. The discussions/viewings will take place on Thursday evenings from 6-7pm on July 11, 18, and 25. The community service project will be determined by the participants once the series begins.
To find more details about this event on the Oak View Library's webpage, go to http://www.vencolibrary.org and select the Oak View branch location [http://www.vencolibrary.org/locations...].
The Oak View branch of the Ventura County Library is located in the Oak View Park & Resource Center at 555 Mahoney Ave, Oak View. The library is open Monday-Thursday, 1-6 pm and Saturday, 10 am-2 pm. Call 649-1523 for more information.

I lead a group of high school juniors in a discipleship group. We've been together nearly 5 years now, and that hour and a half has become one of the highlights of my week. Brittany, Casey, Emily, Kailey, Savanna and I know each other intimately; we trust each other implicitly. Truly a picture of community as Jesus talked about.
We're currently studying our way through Everything: What You Give and What You Gain to Become Like Jesus by Mary DeMuth. This book has been such a tremendous blessing in my life that I wanted my girls to get to learn from Mary's solid teachings–and painful challenges about our complacency in our cozy Christian walk.
Today, we will discuss Chapter 6–Practice Resilience. In it, Mary shares her disdain for the misuse of the oft-quoted Jeremiah 29:11. "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Mary reminds students of Scripture that "Hananiah didn't remember that God often acts counterintuitively to our desired outcome. He disciplines the ones He loves" (Everything, page 57).
All too often, we Christ-followers want to live a life of joy, peace, happiness and protection from all adversity. Want the truth? Mary says, "God puts us through more than we can bear. Because after we journey through those places, we learn resilience. And that resilience brings the ability to joyfully live in the moment despite our circumstances–a holy paradox" (Everything, page 57, emphasis mine).
People go through terrible, awful, painful-gut-wrenching trials this side of heaven:
- Death of a child
- Death of a spouse
- Financial ruin
- Job loss
- Miscarriage & infertility
- Illness
- Marital crisis
- Sexual abuse
- Homelessness
In truth, this list goes on and on–as we get to "lesser" trials, such as a nasty boss, car problems and loss of friendship. Doesn't matter how bad or awful the list gets. Each of these painful challenges grow us. Each provides us with an opportunity to showcase the one, true, living God and proclaim his power, strength, love and care. Each reminds us that we can't travel this journey alone–no matter how strong we think we might be.
And in my estimation, that's the true point of all of this. If we were strong, if we could pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, if we could soothe our own pain and deal with all our problems ourselves, we wouldn't need a Savior.
So where have you desperately needed God this past week, last month, last year? Where has he shown himself completely capable, unwaiveringly faithful, utterly strong?

I am not in my 40s, but it is sometimes reassuring to hear from someone who has been there.....and recently. It isn't often that men in their 40s have prostate cancer. I am 63 and in excellent health....walk 6 or 7 miles a day at the wildlife refuge with my black lab.
I too was shocked and scared. I decided to go with the Radical Prostatectomy. It seemed to me to be the best solution. If you elect a different method, then you can't decide to have this surgery later. You're done. I had the surgery and home the next day. Fishing in Canada 6 weeks later. Recovering nicely. Only drawback after only 4 months is I haven't had an erection, but taking inhibitors. Many of my friends have had the surgery and are back doing everything they were prior to surgery. So they tell me. My neighbor had this surgery 20 months ago, started taking Cialis a couple of weeks ago with success. My doctor says to give it time.
Go with the di vinci surgery. Good luck.View Thread
I had a Gleason score of 7 on each side of my prostate. My PSA was .95. Stage II. Yes, that was .95
I had a Radical Prostatectomy 4 months ago and now have a PSA of less than 0.01 (checked twice since surgery). Post-op biopsy showed that the cancer was completely encapsulated. Surgeon also removed the lymp nodes.
Good news is your dad's Gleason score really isn't that high and the bone scan is negative. I highly recommend the robotic surgery. After 6 weeks I was in Canada fishing.
Fortunately, I had insurance but with the bone scan, CAT, MRI, surgery, hospital, lab tests, lab results, etc. the total billed amount was approximately $63,000. As noted in one of the replys, you can negotiate with the hospital.
Good luck. I think that your dad will be fine.View Thread

|The Game Story:
|BURLINGTON, Vt. – UMBC broke open a tie game with four straight goals in the second half on its way to an 11-8 victory over the Vermont men's lacrosse team in America East action on Saturday afternoon. Junior Drew Philie led all scorers with six points on five goals and an assist for the Catamounts, who fall to 1-9 overall and 0-2 in league play.
Vermont trailed by as many as three goals early on, but Philie tied it 6-6 midway through the third quarter. UMBC (4-5, 2-0 America East) responded with the next four tallies to make it 10-6 with 8:05 to go. Scott Hopmann led the Retrievers with four points on a hat trick and an assist.
UMBC jumped out to a 3-1 lead with 6:55 to go in the first quarter, before Philie set up classmate A.J. Masson with a goal that cut it to a one-goal game. The Retrievers extended their lead to three at 5-2, but the Catamounts scored four of the next five goals in the contest to tie it at 6-6.
Philie scored the first, followed by senior Geoff Worley who beat a defender and drove to the cage, scoring top shelf over UMBC keeper Adam Cohen. UMBC had the ball and called a timeout with 33 seconds left before halftime, but then turned it over on the possession and sophomore Ahmad Zachary raced down the field and found Philie on the wing who scored with three seconds left to make it 6-5 Retrievers at the half.
Philie earned his fourth with the first goal of the second half 8:10 in, as Worley fell down on the play but got up and found Philie at the top to knot the game at 6-6. The visitors picked up the next four goals to take a 10-6 lead. Philie would add his fifth with 4:14 remaining and junior Thomas Galvin wrapped up the scoring off a feed from Worley with 35 ticks on the clock to make it 11-8.
Vermont outshot UMBC 34-26 for the game, which included a 16-6 advantage in a fourth quarter that saw many ricochet off the post, but the Retrievers took advantage by winning 16 of 23 faceoffs in the game. Cohen made 10 saves for UMBC, while Vermont's David Barton stopped three shots.
The five goals and six points overall for Philie were both season-highs for a Catamount. He last recorded six points in a win over Colgate last season and Saturday marked the third time in his career, and first since April 20, 2010 vs. Dartmouth, that he had five or more tallies in a contest.

George D. Haimbaugh Jr., 1916 - 2005
Comments from John E. Montgomery, past Dean of the School of Law
George Haimbaugh was an erudite, sophisticated and well-traveled man. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of world affairs and international and constitutional law. He never stopped learning and researching.
George knew everyone. Countless prominent visitors to the law school stopped by to see George and say hello. When U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spoke at the law school several years ago, he walked into George's office and said, "Hi, George, great to see you again - your office looks positively piggish!"
That was another wonderful side of George - he was a collector of books, periodicals, old newspaper clippings and other things. His office was a treasure trove and when law librarians were missing a book, it usually was in George's office.
George loved teaching and loved people. They returned his affection. In all my travels and visits with alumni over the years, everybody always asked about how Professor Haimbaugh was doing and lawyers often stopped by to say hello to him when they were in the building.
A lover of people, a scholar and student of world affairs. He was all those things and a great colleague. It was only fitting that Chief Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals paid tribute to George Haimbaugh in his law school commencement remarks a few years ago. George had a great career at our law school and touched and influenced many lives. For a man who in his youth rode a mule across the Isthmus of Panama and fought in the historic Battle of Midway in World War II, teaching law may have seemed mundane. But he loved it. We were lucky to have him for all the years he was at the USC School of Law. He is sorely missed.

Program in Brazil
Linkages students have worked on a wide variety of projects in Brazil, including publication of law journals, development of academic and scholarly programs and seminars, and conducting research for NGOs involved with human rights issues. In the past students have also combined Linkages with other activities, including empirical research on elections and corruption and an internship with a Minister on the Brazilian Supreme Court. Although attending group activities is mandatory, activities which usually involve meetings, visits, and tours, there is much room for independent research. The calendar of events for the summer 2014 program is available below.
First-, second-, third-year and graduate students are invited to apply. Intermediate Portuguese is required, as is not missing a significant portion of the 4-week program that generally occupies the month of August (when Fall Interviews for summer associate jobs are conducted at the law school). Travel and living expenses are covered by the Yale Law School, and generally participants stay with Brazilian law students or lawyers.
To apply for the program, send a current resume, a law school transcript (not necessary for 1Ls), and a brief statement of interest (no longer than three double-spaced pages) to the program coordinator, firstname.lastname@example.com, who can also be contacted for answer to any other questions regarding the program.

The recent avalanche of major rock releases combined with Father's Day gift buying to steer the album market to its second highest level of the year last week, writes Alan Jones.
With sales increasing week-on-week by 18.4% to 3,284,529, the overall tally was the highest for 15 weeks, being beaten only in the 24 weeks of 2005 so far completed by the 3,633,914 they registered in the seven days immediately prior to Mother's Day in March.
With Coldplay's X&Y album naturally in decline after its enormous first week sales, artist albums increased by a comparatively modest 10.7% week-on-week to 2,547,539 but the compilation album sector put on 55.9% to reach 736,990.
A week after plummeting to 17% - their second lowest level of the 21st century - compilations' share of the overall market rallied to 22.4%, and was much buoyed by niche Father's Day compilations, of which the Virgin/EMI pair Dad Rocks and I Love Dad were by far the most successful, selling 99,031 and 49,135 copies respectively to take first and third place in the compilation chart. Sandwiched between them, Driving Rock Ballads was also a major beneficiary of Father's Day gift buying, and sold 59,720 copies. Dads Rock's tally easily beats the 62,752 copies I Love Mum sold when it topped the Mother's Day chart in March.
On the artist album chart, Coldplay's X&Y remains number one but experienced a 48.6% dip in sales week-on-week to 238,892. Its cumulative sales after 13 days increased to 703,443, enough for it to jump 6-1 on the year-to-date chart, where it replaces Scissor Sisters' self-titled debut.
In 19 of the first 20 weeks of this year, the 159,179 copies the Foo Fighters' fifth album In Your Honour sold last week would have earned them a number one debut - but not any more.
In Your Honour secured easily the best first week sale of the band's 10 year career but fails to emulate the number one debut of its 2002 predecessor One By One and has to settle for second place in the chart behind Coldplay.
Here's how previous Foo Fighters albums started their careers: One By One sold 91,471 copies when it debuted at number one; their self-titled debut sold just 18,724 copies when it debuted at number three in 1995,;The Colour And The Shape (number three, 1997) set off with sales of 18,946; and There Is Nothing Left To Lose (number 10, 1999) opened with 23,704 sales.
While former Heavenly stalwarts St. Etienne have to settle for a lowly number 72 debut for their introductory Sanctuary album Tales From Turnpike House this week, Heavenly's hot new act The Magic Numbers debut at number seven with their self-titled debut disc enjoying an excellent first week sale of 38,436. Comprising two brother and sister duos - Trinidad's Michele and Romeo Stodart and Londoners Sean and Angela Gannon - The Magic Numbers are enjoying massive critical acclaim and their debut single Forever Lose reached number 15 earlier this month.
Last glimpsed in Top 40 action almost exactly 10 years ago when it reached number 23, Jeff Wayne's classic concept album War Of The Worlds has been re-released yet again, and re-enters the chart at number eight with sales of 34,100 in its 257th week of Top 75 chart activity since its 1978 release. The album, which peaked at number five in its original incarnation, has been reissued as both a double disc and as a seven disc collector's set, comprising SACD 5.1 mixes, dance mixes, out-takes, unreleased tracks and even a 'making of' DVD.
Heralded in many quarters as a return to form, UB40's latest album Who You Fighting For? includes their Manhattans cover Kiss & Say Goodbye and a reggaefication of the Lennon-McCartney obscurity I'll Be On My Way - a Billy J. Kramer b-side in 1963 - among a good mix of covers and new songs. It sold 18,111 copies last week, to debut at number 20, easily beating the number 29 peak of their last album of new material, 2001's Cover Up. Who You Fighting For is UB40's 21st charted album in a 25 year chart career.
There were also fine performaces from All Over The World - The Very Best Of ELO, which posted a 216.9% increase in sales to 53,829 to jump 11-6, and U2's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, which vaults 33-17 with sales up 164.1% to 19,563. The U2 album had been absent from the Top 20 for 15 weeks.
Physical single sales, at 353,449 were at an eighteeen week low last week, while digital sales of 401,189 were down just 0.66%. Overall singles sales were down 4.2% at 754,638 - their lowest level since downloads were included in the chart in April.
Topping the chart for the fourth straight week, Crazy Frog's Axel F sold 52,084 copies - a 27.9% dip over the previous week - and once again outsold its nearest challenger by a margin of more than three to one. Said challenger James Blunt's You're Beautiful has climbed 12-6-2, but it should be noted that the 16,488 copies it sold last week - a 24.3% increase on its prior frame - are the second lowest for a number two single this year, beating only the record low number two tally of 12,753 registered by the Manic Street Preachers' Empty Souls some 22 weeks ago.
Excluding singles debuting early after distribution leakages and former imports, You're Beautiful is the first single to debut outside the Top 10 and subsequently climb to number two since 2000, when The Baha Men's Who Let The Dogs Out moved 13-14-2. Blunt's debut album also hits a new high this week, climbing 4-3, on a 7.8% increase in sales to 66,986 .
The Audio Bullys' Shot You Down is also making continued upwards progress, and has so far moved 9-10-7-3. Its sales increased by 20.4% last week to 15,316. Airplay support for the Audio Bullys track has never been that good, and it slips 38-40 on the radio airplay chart this week, while climbing just 50-46 on the TV airplay chart.
Its club play has dipped over the same period, so the reason for its improved sales chart status is a bit of a mystery - though it may well have something to do with the BBC's much-aired Wimbledon TV trailer, which utilises large chunks of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang, which Shot You Down samples. Interestingly, the radio campaign for Wimbledon uses the Audio Bullys track instead.
With the number one single holding its place for a fourth week, and climbers holding second and third place, it's a fairly old-fashioned chart in which the highest new entry, Nelly's N Dey Say, debuts at number six on sales of 11,665.
22 years after topping the chart for Spandau Ballet, and 14 years after providing the vital sample for PM Dawn's number three hit Set Adrift On Memory Bliss, the Gary Kemp song True now powers N Dey Say, which is the 10th Top 10 hit of Nelly's career,
N Dey Say originally appeared on Suit, the best received of two Nelly albums released simultaneously - the other was Sweat - last September. Thus far Suit has sold 270,312 copies, compared to Sweat's 114,997. Last month, the best tracks from both albums were combined on Sweat Suit, which has so far sold 25,347 copies in five weeks, and slips 42-52 this week.
Returning after a two year break, Spain's DJ Sammy extends to four his opening run of Top 10 hits. Sammy reached number one with his club version of Bryan Adams' Heaven in 2002, and followed up in 2003 with a number two remake of Don Henley's Boys Of Summer and the number eight original Sunlight. His latest single, a cover of Annie Lennox's 1993 number five hit Why, debuts at number seven with first week sales of 11,352 - that's his lowest first week sales yet, however, replacing Sunlight, which opened with 12,765 sales.
Charlie Simpson's new band Fightstar have earned praise from the likes of NME and Kerrang! in a way his former vehicle Busted never did - but thus far at least they don't appeal to record buyers nearly as much. Between 2002 and their demise in 2004, Busted put together a string of eight straight top three hits - four of the number ones - and sold 956,649 singles. Fightstar's introductory single Paint Your Target debuts at number nine this week, on sales of just 9,721 copies.
Green Day's American Idiot album has been the most successful of their career, with sales to date of 1,220,002 but fourth single Wake Me Up When September Ends still managed to attract 11,250 buyers last week to secure a number eight debut, reversing the downward trend of previous singles American Idiot, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Holiday, which peaked at three, five and 11 respectively.
Top 10 singles not mentioned above are Akon's Lonely, continuing its slow fade with a 3-4 dip on sales of 14,668; Gorillaz' Feel Good Inc.'s similarly leisurely decline, falling 4-5 with 13,635 buyers last week; and Amerie's 1 Thing, dipping 5-10 with sales off 29.3% at 9,624.
Finally, after seven weeks at number one on the radio airplay chart, Coldplay's Speed Of Sound dips to number three to be replaced by Jem's second hit Just A Ride.
Jem's debut hit They climbed as high as number two on the airplay chart in March while peaking at number six on the OCC sales chart. Follow-up Just A Ride debutson the sales chart at number 16 this week while climbing 6-1 on the airplay chart Just A Ride was the most-played record on Radio 2 last week (21 plays) and was fifth on Radio One's list, with 24 spins. These two stations provided nearly 70% of its audience of just over 64m. Although its audience was the highest of any record, Just A Ride's total of 1,602 plays was only the seventh highest. Just A Ride's high airplay profile is paying rich dividends for Jem's Finally Woken album, which also benefited from TV advertising last week. As a result it jumps 36-22, with sales up 123.8% at 16,128. Its cumulative sales are 153,083.

Struggling Wild place top-line winger Zach Parise on injured reserve
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Minnesota Wild placed Zach Parise on injured reserve Saturday after the top-line winger missed two games because of a lower-body injury.
While the Wild won't provide details, the logical assumption is that Parise has never fully recovered from the foot injury he suffered on Nov. 25 in St. Louis when he blocked a shot from the Blues' Alex Steen.
Parise, who has 15 goals and 27 points in 37 games this season, was expected to miss two to three weeks at the time but ended up sitting out only one game before rushing back.
Now he will get some time to rest the foot as the struggling Wild returns home to play the New York Islanders on Sunday. The Wild lost all four games on their just completed road trip, falling 6-4 at Winnipeg on Friday.
Since opening December with back-to-back victories over Philadelphia and Chicago, the Wild has gone 3-7.
The Wild also made another roster move, sending goaltender Johan Gustafsson to Iowa of the AHL.
Josh Harding, who was placed on injured reserve this month so a minor adjustment could be made to his treatment for multiple sclerosis, has rejoined the team and could start Sunday. That would be a big boost considing Harding is now the Wild's clear-cut No. 1 goalie.
Harding has an NHL-leading 1.51 goals-against average and is second in the league with a .939 save percentage.

The Rockdale swim team took care of a trio of teams Thursday at Johnson Park. The Bulldogs won the overall event 407-to-321 over Heritage with the boy's winning handily over Eastside, 207 points to 172, and the girl's having to sweat out a 200-197 victory over the Patriots. Kellie Fair led the way for the Bulldogs, winning individual titles in the 100-butterfly (1:07.81) and 100-backstroke (1:10.86), while Kimaya Tucker out-swam the field to win the 100-freestyle (1:04.29). Rockdale also won girl's relay titles in the 200-medley and 200-freestyle.
Betsy Potter won the 100-breastroke (1:17.55) and Kenzie Webb finished first in the 50-freestyle (28.47) for Heritage, which also picked up titles in both the boy's 200-freestyle relay and girl's 400-freestyle relay. Eastside's second-place finish in the boy's event was thanks to seven individual titles: Joey Ellwanger in the 200-freestyle (1:52.97) and 500-freestyle (5:05.10); Robbie Ellwanger in the 200-individual medley (2:16.79) and 100-breaststroke (1:08.54); Jack Mitchell in the 50-freestyle (23.44) and 100-backstroke (57.14) and Matt Mitchell in the 100-freestyle (57.04). The Eagles also won the boy's 400-freestyle relay.

The flex-mojos project supports unit testing of Flex code, but it doesn't use Maven's default surefire plugin for running tests. As a result, you need to make a slight tweak to your
pom.xml file:
<reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <reportsDirectory>${project.build.directory}/test-reports</reportsDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting>
UPDATE – With the Flex Mojos 1.0 release, the output directory for FlexUnit tests has changed. It's now
surefire-reports, so you can simply include the surefire-report plugin in your pom.xml file without any configuration:
<reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting>
We're doing a big project at work that involves splitting up a large codebase into lots of little projects. The general methodology is:
One of the problems that's come up is that the codebase is a moving target; people not involved in the extraction are making change all the time. I use Fisheye notifications to let me know when a change has been made to the codebase, but that requires me to remember to set up the notification.
So I decided to write a Maven plugin that would iterate through all the files in the extraction target directory and see if there are newer versions in the codebase. This means getting the info per file up until the point it was copied and then checking the URL the file was copied from to see if there are newer revisions.
I started doing this by passing calling the Subversion command line client with the –xml option and then using some XPaths to extract the necessary bits. There were two problems with this approach:
The former wasn't that big a deal locally, but when I committed the unit test that used svnadmin, the tests failed on the CI server because svnadmin wasn't on the path. The second was obvious while I was writing the code, but figured I'd deal with it later.
Rather than have svnadmin added to the path, I took a look at svnkit and found the API to be pretty clean. Things I really like (in no particular order):
Things I didn't like:
But the biggest issue is speed, at least it seems to be. It sure seems slower when running my unit tests in Eclipse, but Hudson doesn't show a big difference. Build #13 is when I introduced a minimal about of svnkit just to get svnadmin functionality working. Build #20 is all svnkit and is actually a few seconds faster. I'll have to look more at this going forward.

I believe there is a typo in this recipe (Chicken Marsala).
The cooking steps do not mention neither the olive oil nor the cooking sherry. Perhaps you can substitute the olive oil for the butter and the cooking sherry for the marsala wine?

When I have had Chicken Marsala in restaurants it has always contained mushrooms. I have also prepared it and I know I used mushrooms. I also believe that I dipped the chicken in a flour mixture with spices, not breadcrumbs.

In between the turkey and trimmings, Missoulian reporters and photographers have produced an incredible lineup for this weekend's newspapers.
The planning, in fact, goes back about six weeks. Long years of experience have taught us to plan ahead – way ahead! – for holiday weeks.
And while there is still always that last-minute rush of stories and photos to be written and edited, pages to design and proof, and breaking news to cover, we would never be able to produce consistently strong newspapers over the holidays without the advance work.
We are already, in fact, at work on the story plan for Christmas and the ever-so-slow week after Christmas.
But back to this weekend: Among the stories you'll find in the Missoulian over the next three days is a great package of words and photos about a University of Montana doctoral student whose love of chemistry shows not only in his work on human viruses but in the beautiful silver jewelry he makes in a basement studio at home. Josh Marceau's story is in Sunday's Territory section, with thanks to reporter Betsy Cohen and photographer Linda Thompson.
Betsy teamed up for another Sunday story with photographer Michael Gallacher on a retired UM prof – another chemist! – whose off-campus lab has developed a biodegradable, environmentally neutral chemical that can be used in everyday materials, such as road salt and detergents, to replace harmful persistent petrochemicals and phosphates. This is the real deal, folks – technology transfer happening in our own community that will make a difference worldwide.
Saturday's Missoulian, of course, will have loads of news related to the UM football team's first-round FCS playoff game against South Dakota State. Our awesome sports department produced both a Grizzly Game Day special section this week and a package of preview stories for Saturday's Sports cover. And on A1, reporter Kim Briggeman and photo editor Kurt Wilson will bring you news of a Missoula man's tailgate-friendly invention. I'll give you one hint: "Look mom! No hands!"
There's lots more on the menu for the days to come, of course, but hopefully these little bites will lead you to pick up a Missoulian over the weekend. Not once, not twice, but three times!

Mozilla is announcing that Firefox now supports Content Security Policy (CSP) 1.0. The specification is designed to prevent cross-site-scripting attacks or, at the very least, provide a more secure experience for users.
CSP enables websites to specify the domains from where scripts can be executed, thus preventing one of the most common types of XSS attacks.
The feature also prevents inline scripts, i.e. those embedded in an HTML page, from executing, preventing code injection attacks as well.
Firefox 23 now has support for the latest version of the CSP spec. It joins Chrome, which added support earlier in the year, and IE10 which only supports the sandbox directive.
Mozilla provided a more detailed analysis of the changes between the older, non-standard CSP that Firefox supported and the new 1.0 standard, if you're interested.
The older X-Content-Security-Policy header will be deprecated at some point, now that the standard version is ready. Moving forth, the W3C is already working on CSP 1.1, and Mozilla is actively involved in that.

Shale - not just a rock.
Shale gas could "turn the world of energy upside-down" and even
fundamentally change international geopolitics, suggested Professor
Mike Stephenson of the British Geological Survey (BGS) yesterday,
but until the peer-reviewed data is in, we need to reserve
Yesterday's open lecture on shale gas in the UK at London's Geological
Society on shale gas in the UK was a welcome intervention in a
debate which has been dominated by overcooked rhetoric on all
sides. It was attended by representatives from local councils,
water companies, energy companies and numerous concerned citizens,
as well as academics and policy wonks, creating the feeling that
the debate over UK shale gas may be moving from the sometimes
fantasy-realm of the media into the real world.
No shale assessment yet
Just how much shale gas the UK has available has been
frequently canvassed in the media and some fairly wild
estimates have been made. BGS is busy
researching a new estimate of the UK's onshore shale gas
reserves for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), to
be released at some point in the near future, but - somewhat
frustratingly for the event - it's not finished yet and BGS aren't
saying when it will be.
The only hint BGS dropped was that it will be releasing a new
estimate for shale gas reserves in the north-west of England later
on this year. That in itself could be interesting -
energy firm Cuadrilla talked up a shale gas find in Lancashire
last year, and Professor Stephenson also indicated in his talk that
there may be reserves of shale gas in and around the Pennine
Stephenson emphasised that shale itself is an "incredibly
common" rock, and also described the previous BGS assessment of
about 150 billion cubic metres of shale gas onshore in the UK as
"pretty low - probably too low".
This would seem to confirm rumours that the new number is going to
be larger -
perhaps much larger than its previous estimate. It's important
to note that the BGS is only estimating the shale gas resource
present under the UK. More relevant to what shale gas might do to
our energy system is an indication of how much of it is
economically viable to extract - something the BGS won't be
Solid data and peer review important
Throughout the event numerous speakers emphasised the importance
of basing debate on good quality data and peer reviewed research.
active media and political debate has covered UK onshore and
offshore shale gas reserves, the potential for hydraulic fracturing
or 'fracking' to cause earthquakes, the impact on water reserves,
and the potential for 'fugitive emissions' to drive up greenhouse
gas emissions. But in many cases, the data and peer-reviewed
research on these questions is pretty scarce. One impression from
the event is that researchers and the policy community have been
caught on the hop, and are scrambling to catch up.
Tony Grayling of the Environment Agency (EA) offered reassurance
that the UK is developing a "pretty robust regulatory system" to
address local environmental impacts of extracting shale gas. He
also said that the EA are also working to produce a "full and
detailed environmental assessment" of the impacts of shale gas
extraction over the course of this year.
Addressing concerns that fugitive
methane emissions from shale gas production might raise the
carbon emissions of shale gas over coal, as
some research has suggested, Grayling said that the EA is
considering using the EU Mining
Waste Directive to legislate against accidental release of gas.
DECC could also legislate under
petroleum licencing regulations which apply to the flaring and
venting of gas, he said. The EA has commissioned consultants to
review the question of how fugitive emissions could be monitored
and controlled, so watch this space.
The climate question
Despite what was a detailed discussion, reference to climate
change was more or less absent from the speaker's presentations.
often tout shale gas as a transition fuel - a lower-emissions
alternative to coal that can be used while we decarbonise our
energy sector.
But when might this transition happen? Grayling commented that he
did not think that shale gas would be produced in the UK for
"several years at best" - and another speaker admitted that
"nothing much is happening" on the development of carbon capture
and storage (CCS) technology, which would be necessary to reduce
emissions from gas power plant.
As some of the wilder claims over shale gas are addressed, it does
leave the overarching question unanswered: If the UK develops an
active shale gas industry in ten years time and the UK government
goes for gas in a big way, how will this be squared with
recommendations by the Committee on Climate Change that we
reduce the emissions of our power sector to almost nothing by 2030?
As the shale gas debate rumbles on, it's going to take more than a
peer-reviewed paper to answer than one.

As officials reviewed the shot to confirm that it had beaten the 24-second clock, Parker walked up to Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich and his staff, confirmed the appropriate game plan for the final defensive possession, then sat down in Popovich's usual seat on the bench and ran the huddle. Parker, with the assistance of Tim Duncan, advised his teammates not to aggressively contest or foul three-point shooters to avoid surrendering a four-point play and warned about Dwyane Wade's tricky shot fakes.

Here's a clip of President Bush's video message to Deal or No Deal contestant and war veteran Capt. Joseph Kobes who served three tours of duty in Iraq:
While the Bush appearance was no ratings boon for Deal or No Deal (10m viewers and a 2.7 in the 18-49 demo vs. 9.7m and a 2.8/7 the prior week) but I haven't seen the half hourly data for the last half hour of the 2 hour airing. My guess is it was the most-viewed half hour.
I kind of like the idea Bush proposes for getting a budget through congress. Then again, I'd probably be OK with having the Presidential election decided by an American Idol style competition.

Turn your favourite shoes into clipless pedal cycling shoes
Retrofitz retrofittable cleat system promises classic shoes… with cleats
Previous News
Next News
Ever had the desire to turn your favourite trainers into clipless cycling shoes? Well now you can courtesy of Californian company Retrofitz who have just released a retrofittable cleat that turns any footwear, be it trainers to smart shoes (although possibly not slippers), into a clipless cycling shoe. We can hear hipsters fainting at the prospect of being able to clip in their black Vans for the ride to the Clerk & Well.
Retrofitz developed the product after the questions "can any shoe be a cycling shoe?" popped into their collective heads - which does make them sound a bit like The Borg, although we're sure they're not like that at all. Clearly ready to assimilate the challenge (I'll stop now), they set about developing a special nylon plate that can be fitted to just about any shoe.
The plate lets you attach any mountain bike cleat that uses a two bolt design, like Shimano's SPD, Crank Brothers, Time or Speedplay Frogs. We know a lot of road cyclists (particularly touring cyclists and commuters) prefer mountain bike cleats because of the ease of walking and clipping in with double sided pedals - we're fans. Two bumpers stop the cleat from hitting the ground, so you can walking normally without skating about… although the proof of the pudding is probably in the eating on that one.
You can buy a conversion kit for $50 if you're confident of taking a knife and drill to your shoes and fitting it yourself. Retrofitz do admit that it takes time and craftsmanship to implement successfully if you're going the DIY route. Otherwise they'll sell you a pair of trainers with the cleat already installed. They offer six shoes, with prices ranging from $80 to $180, including Converse Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops, Adidas Samba and Adidas XCS Cyclocross Race Day shoes.
So if you want to re-purpose your favourite trainers for cycling, or you want some classic trainers cyclingified you can have them. Find out more at www.retrofitz.com
Finally my lifelong dream of owning a pair of SPD Wellies becomes reality!

Prepare to ruin perfectly good shoes. How many will withstand a good twist out at a traffic light? I also second the stiffness aspect. I just think the connecting plastic will pull out the bottom and you'll just have very holey shoes.
Well that's enough poo-pooing. I like the idea and I hope to do this to a pair of Charles brogues.
Perhaps I'll even live to an age where I can insert a protective dome into my woolly hat so I don't have to wear a conventional bike helmet.

The original version of the Pearl Izumi Boulder was basically a trainer with SPDs in that it had a much flexier than normal sole and was great for walking around in, but also took cleats - my favourite pair of cycling shoes ever. Super comfortable, great for commuting or general messing about in and you could walk about in them all day and never feel the cleat. Lots of journos had 'em and I've never met one who didn't say much the same.
Course Pearl changed 'em the very next year one 'improvement' was a stiffer sole.
If you're hopping on ad off your bike riding round town, you don't need a super efficient sole on your shoes. Of course you probably don't need cleats either

took my lovely handmade brouges to be re soled the other month, and was asking the cobler chap about fitting spd cleats (as a joke). He suggestd I buy some cheap cycling shoes, and when my brouges are past their smartest I he would stitch/glue the the SPD soles to the leather uppers creating some very impractical and sexy looking cycle shoes!

my cycling shoes have been hiding inside overshoes and socks for months, i can't wait to show them off when it gets warmer let alone mess about with non cycling shoes i own.
converting trainers would probably be wasted on me as stiffness of shoe is key to performance but recreational use, then fine.
