I need to create a tool that allows me to place objects, such as text boxes, images and buttons from a menu onto a canvas, which can be later saved and reloaded or serialized. I need to be able to place the objects wherever I want and transform their size.
Can you please consult me on which tool, libraries or methods I should use to make it?
I will be happy to elaborate if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Safe4Athletes had the privilege to take part in an Al Jazeera interview on The Stream - The high price of Olympic glory on January 9.
The broadcast included Attorney Jonathan Little, Dr. Mitch Abrams Ph.D and Nancy Hogshead-Makar. The program examines how more athletes are coming forward and openly talking about the abuse they received from their coaches, whether it's psychological or physical abuse, with several high profile cases making headlines. Allegations of abuse are not limited to the U.S. That's exactly the reason Safe4Athletes pushes for more stringent policies that protect athletes from abusive coaches, whether they are Olympians or in club sports.
Safe4Athletes is dedicated to athlete welfare -- where every athlete is provided a safe and positive environment free of sexual abuse, bullying and harassment.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 11.1.12
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed which turns out to be another almost entirely Hollywood Halloween costume compilation. I do, however, have to hand it to some of these celebs, because at first glance, these may just seem like another chance to showcase the breasts that nobody knew/still doesn't care that you have. But upon closer inspection, it seems a lot of them put together some clever get-ups as their famous friends. I'll fight anyone who says these weren't supposed to be Thomas Jane in 40 years, Dr. Robert Rey, Sharon Stone, January Jones, Hans and Franz, Kelly Kapowski, and Stephen Hawking.
Shit, almost missed Black Gallagher as Jon Hamm,

"I am pleased to welcome Kim to our coaching staff," said Ceralde, who enters his seventh season at the helm in 2013. "Her enthusiasm for the sport of gymnastics is apparent, and I know she will bring positive energy to our team. I am looking forward to working with her so we may reach our program goals for the upcoming season."
Parsons -- who will focus her efforts on coaching Penn's beam team -- comes to Penn after spending last year as the assistant coach at Temple University, where she worked primarily with beam while assisting floor and vault. With Parsons' help, the Owls broke program records in both vaulting and team score, and fifth-year senior Katie Canning claimed the ECAC beam and all-around titles.
"It is truly an amazing opportunity to join this program under Coach Ceralde," she said. "I could not be more excited! I believe I share his passion and commitment in continuing the success of Penn gymnastics, and I am anxious to help any way I can."
Prior to that, Parsons was the associate head coach for MIT's club program for the 2010-11 season, which she helped lead to the 2011 National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs (NAIGC) National Championship. That team also boasted the NAIGC all-around champion in Julia Zimmerman; the vault co-champions in Zimmerman and Zara Karuman; and the uneven bars champion in Karuman. In the summers, Parsons worked as a director at Woodward Gymnastics Camp (Pa.), where she assisted in the management of a gym staff of 30 coaches and 200-300 gymnasts per week (Rec to Level 10/Elite).
Parsons graduated from James Madison University, where she received her Bachelor's degree in History. A member of the Dukes' gymnastics team -- which went from varsity to club status during her time on campus -- she earned the program's Most Dedicated award as a senior and the Most Team Spirit award as a freshman. Parsons also holds a Master's degree in teaching from Boston University.
A native of Stoughton, Mass., Parsons currently resides in Philadelphia.
Parsons joins a program that won both the Ivy League and ECAC Championships team titles last year. The Quakers will open the 2012-13 campaign on Sunday, Jan. 13 at the George Washington Invitational.

Be A Snow Queen, Not A Snow Flake: Winterize Your Makeup with Dimitri James
Keep your makeup looking flawless even during a blizzard.
-Dimitri James
Pale, dry skin…foundation colors gone awry…and fine lines that are not so fine. Winter isn't pretty. But Dimitri James, founder of Skinn Cosmetics, offers additional winter beauty tips and techniques designed to make cosmetics work for, not against your skin.
Problem: Color won't stick to pale, dry winter skin.
Has your favorite blush and bronzer gone south for the winter, just when you needed an infusion of warmth and color the most?
Solution: Exfoliate and soothe.
First, exfoliate away excess dead skin cells that skin produces to protect itself from the cold.

Then, try mixing a drop or two of a natural essential oil like Neroli oil or rose hips oil with your favorite moisturizer before you apply it to your face. The extra oil will super-hydrate the skin and helps offset winter dryness. Your bronzer and blush will adhere better and last longer.

Love It or Hate It? Rihanna's Second 'Vogue' Cover
Rihanna just got her second 'Vogue' cover. Does she look glam or nothing like herself?
-PJ Gach
Rihanna's a chameleon. One moment she's a red carpet goddess, the next she's just a rocker gal in torn jeans and tee, then the next she's showing almost everything. So who is she? Or is she like most women whose closets match their moods?
So here she is on the cover of Vogue. It's her second. Styleite mentions that it was shot by Annie Lebovitz. If anything, it's probably more exciting than the contents. Well, maybe the piece on Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers will be interesting or relevant.
Read Who Wore It Better? Lady Gaga vs. Elizabeth Hurley in Versace + Safety Pins
The big question is, of course what do you think if Rihanna in this lacy red dress? Does she look stellar and breathtaking or if you walked by the mag super fast, would you even realize it was Riri?
The pose looks painful! Bettys, I keep wondering if the dried grass poky bits kept digging into her knees or the sun was punching itself right between her eyes. If you study the photo closely, don't you get the impression that she wants to get up and run to the bathroom?
Tell us: Is this photo of Rihanna fabulous or should they have used a different shot?

Pete Fletcher
1967/68 — Chu Lai, RVN
The photo of Pete shaking hands with Floyd Patterson was taken in 1967 by me. Pete was a Corporal in the US Marines, assigned to B Battery, 2nd LAAM Battalion, 1st Marine Air Wing. Pete went to school at USAADS, Fort Bliss (the Marines don't have such a school), Texas, and learned to service the HAWK guided missile, using it's Test Shop, and it's launcher, using test equipement.
Floyd Patterson was the only 'guest' I remember visiting us. We did go to Bob Hope's Christmas show in 1967, with members of B Battery, and I hope Pete was there.
My daughter's high school class took a trip to Washington, DC, and she made a rubbing of Pete's name on the Vietnam Memorial. I still have it.

Did you know?
Other museums on Simon's Town's Historic Mile include the Heritage Museum, the Warrior Toy Museum and the Simon's Town Museum.
Although Cape Town's Table Bay was the major docking point for ships rounding the Cape of Good Hope from the mid-1600s, the little seaport of Simon's Town on the other side of the Cape Peninsula became preferred during the tempestuous winter months.
Ships could easily be beached near Simon's Town, repaired and safely docked during the stormy season whereas Table Bay, exposed to the north-westerly storms, was positively hazardous.
And in 1741, the ruling Dutch East India Company made it official: Simon's Town would be its winter anchorage. Suddenly the village had a lot of work to do, and within 25 years, Simon's Town was transformed into a busy naval port, complete with blacksmith, hospital, seamen's accommodation, bakery and massive storehouses.
During the second occupation by the British, which began in 1806, the Royal Navy also took up the routine of winter anchorage in Simon's Town. In 1814, a mast-house and sail-loft were built together; this space was taken over in 1993 by the South African Naval Museum.
For those who like military affairs, and in particular naval subjects, this museum is worth every minute spent in it. There's a real-size ship's bridge, a cross-section of the inside of a submarine's ops room, and all manner of naval guns and general equipment.
The various uniforms worn by branches of the South African Navy, from yesteryear to the current era, are on display. There's also a very interesting old diving suit that looks like a prop from a Jules Verne-inspired movie.
There is also some very dramatic naval artwork on display in the museum, recalling in particular various sea battles fought during World War II.
More than 1 200 people visit the South African Naval Museum every month. It is managed jointly by the South African Navy, and the South African Naval Heritage Trust and its society. The trust is committed to preserving the proud heritage of the South African Navy.
In the same building, right next to the museum, is St George's Dockyard Church, which was consecrated as a place of worship by the archbishop of Cape Town in 1945.

A silly old woman with rabbit teeth that wears boring clothes and always shouts at her husband for getting more birthday cards then her. When we go and visit grandad Payter, Thurza doesn't sit at the table for dinner and it's just me, dad and grandad Payter that sit there even though there's four seats. We think he has told her that she's not family so she doesn't sit at the table when we're there. When they come to pick me and dad up she's always in the car when it's only a five minute journey. She wont say a word to you until, "Dinners on the table." She keeps getting told off by Payter for spilling food all over the table cloth while dishing our dinner out. The time she will most likely yell "PAYTER!!!" is when he talks about blacks and refers to them as "Wogs."
Mrs Rabbit: I'll come along for the ride Payter.
Payter: You don't have to bother Thurza.
Mrs Rabbit: I said! I'll come along! A for the ride PAYTER!
Payter: You don't have to bother Thurza.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/4/2013 (1600 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm a woman of 29, and recently got involved quite seriously (but quickly) with a Middle Eastern man. I'd been warned by a number of my friends about the nature of men from this region, but we just connected so well, I felt compelled to ignore their warnings and wrote them off as just being ignorant. However, as of late, my man has begun to display the characteristics my friends were fearful of. The latest incident -- the most distressing -- was when he brought a pink burka home and demanded -- not asked -- that I wear it when we go out at night time. Now I'm a professional woman with a master's in philosophy and am well aware of the discrepancy between cultures, yet I never suspected that he'd behave this way, as he has never before displayed the sorts of attitudes that many westerners associate with this region. He's an educated man, working towards becoming a doctor and he is very handsome and fantastic in bed. His family seems to like me and I just find them adorable, but what do I do about the burka? -- Torn Between a Burka and a Man, Tuxedo
Dear Between: Handing you a head-to-toe cover up burka and "demanding" you wear it, plus your glossing over other unnamed incidents are big, red flags in the love department. You have a controlling person here. Attraction and great sex are not worth becoming someone's obedient servant. And, being Mrs. Doctor Somebody is not necessary for you, or anyone. In your case, you are one degree away from being a doctor of philosophy yourself. Now is the time to open your eyes and explore all the deeply-held religious and cultural beliefs of this man, and air your own beliefs about roles and marriage and career and religion and how children are raised. There will be many more things this man requires of a serious marriage prospect, and things that you would want of him, that perhaps he cannot give. Frankly, it's surprising you say he "brought home" the burka. Are you living with him already and sleeping with him beforehand? How does he really feel about that? Does he disrespect it, though he enjoys it? Does his family know everything? Would they seriously want you in the family if you were not going to become part of their religion and take on their customs? You have much to consider, and the time is now.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: After reading the comments on Feeling Gross, I had to peel myself off the ceiling before writing you. (Feeling Gross was told by some online men she was too heavy for the "few extra lbs" category and by others she was the wrong for the Big Beautiful Women (BBW) division too.) What the heck is wrong with people? As a woman with a "few extra pounds" myself, even while taking up running, yoga and other forms of exercise, I feel flabbergasted people associate weight with health. Even doctors debate if 40 extra pounds puts people in danger. I got sick and tired of some guys' attitudes about what a woman looks like, yet these same individuals have huge bellies themselves. Like many women, I'd like to have a man in my life, but I watch this whole online dating circus and reject it. In short, let's dispense with the lose-40-pounds scenario, and urge people to work on themselves. Miraculously, the physical changes usually follow the interior ones. I really hope Feeling Gross finds her happiness. -- Fed Up, Winnipeg
Dear Fed Up: Sorry, I'm not accepting your argument on extra weight-fine health. Twenty pounds overweight for a woman may not be a health danger, but 40 pounds is pushing it, especially if you don't want to say hello to Type 2 diabetes and heart disease down the road. And yes, people can work on themselves and their self-esteem but weight doesn't magically come off when you feel better about yourself, although a happy, confident feeling helps. It requires work and perseverance.

I'm glad we're hearing talk about moving to cashless tolls, because that would be an excellent way for the state to save money, stretch taxpayers' hard-earned dollars further, and improve human welfare all at the same time.
The state would no longer have to spend millions on employing human beings to do the dehumanizing job of making change for motorists in a tiny booth all day. This job is such a sad waste of human potential, and the sooner nobody has to do it, the better. Instead of employing 755 workers to do toll collections, the state could use the money to hire people to do other useful public services. The savings could be used to hire more teachers, or state police, or park maintenance workers, or whatever people want.
Even better, cashless tolling opens up the possibility of congestion pricing in Philly, Pittsburgh and really any city that experiences a congestion crunch during the morning and evening commute:
In what it's calling one of the most ambitious efforts in the nation, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission plans to convert to all-electronic tolling within five years, scrapping the need for drivers to pass through tollbooths.
Toll plazas along the more than 300-mile mainline Turnpike and its spurs, including the Northeast Extension, would be replaced by overhead gantries that would deduct tolls from E-ZPass users, acting commission CEO Craig Shuey said Tuesday.
License plates of vehicles without transponders would be photographed and toll bills would be sent to owners.
If you're not familiar with congestion pricing, the idea is that tolls go higher during peak travel times, to discourage people from solo-driving into cities' central business districts at the busiest times, and encourage car pooling and mass transit.
Aside from the anti-toll politics, the biggest challenge to doing congestion pricing so far has been operational. Where do you put the toll plazas? Won't you just create more congestion if people have to wait in line to pay?
The adoption of cashless tolling takes away those operational objections. With the overhead gantries, you can toll any road that gets congested, from the Turnpike on down to local highways. Raising more money from congestion would be an excellent way to fund the state's transportation budget, since the tax on congestion would reduce traffic jams and save people and businesses valuable time, improving the economy.
(Thanks: John Micek)

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A bedridden Cleveland man was rescued by neighbors who saw smoke pouring from his two-story home and knew he wouldn't be able to get out.
The man was not injured but was taken to a local hospital to be sure he was all right.
The Plain Dealer reports Monday (http://bit.ly/wCRlvC ) that Lawrence Davis had just gotten home from work when he saw smoke at the house across the street.
The 33-year-old Davis rounded up neighbors to help the bedridden man, knowing he couldn't get out on his own.
Firefighters are continuing to investigate the cause of the blaze which caused heavy damage to the house and left its occupants without a place to live.

The Kako-Kandlazza war was an ongoing war between Empires Kakados and Kandlazza (see Kerell Nations)
Origins of the warEdit
The war was initiated one thousand years ago, shortly before the building of The School of Magery in Omnini. It was originally a religious war: the people of Kandlazza followed the Sun God Pelor, wheras the Empire of Kakados followed Djinnism. (Notably, both religions teaches peace.) However, the religious motives of the war were soon forgotten after many generations. It turned into a wealth war, one Empire always wanting the resources of another.
Relative GeographyEdit
Kakados and Kandlazza both lie on the northern hemisphere of Kerell, with Kakados being north of Kandlazza, separated by the Sea of Brah'ala. The war mostly consisted of sea-battles, as such. The Sea of Brah'ala was officially declared a war zone by both nations.
Advantage: KandlazzaEdit
Kandlazza was more technologically advanced, adopting the use of muskets and other gunpowder weapons. They had more soldiers, and more money, and thus had the resources to develop better weapons and armour. The typical Imperial soldier of Kandlazza was armed with an adamantine-tipped spear or longspear, with a metallic shield and breastplate or chainmail.
Advantage: KakadosEdit
Kakados, although being poorer, had more sorcerors and wizards hired from Omnini. They had better magic, and the School of Magery of Omnini provided Kakados with many items and shapers. The shapers had many Summon Monster spells at their disposal, and these incredibly potent monsters were able to kill many Kandlazza troops.
The End of the WarEdit
When the last Emperor of Kakados died, and Tasyn and Istana came to rule New Kakados, or Isdantia (named after Istana), the people were fed up with the death of many innocent people caused by the many battles in the thousand-years war. The school had been closed down, and the Isdantians were losing badly. About ten years ago, Tasyn (now ruling alone after he murdered Istana) conceded to the Emperor of Kandlazza, calling for a ceasefire, which the Kandlazza people promptly accepted (Kandlazza took many losses also).

At least five people have died in Saudi Arabia from a virus similar to the one that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) [2], the country's health ministry says.
According to a Wednesday statement cited by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Saudi Health Ministry said the deaths took place in the eastern province of Ahsaa. Two more people were being treated for the virus, the ministry stated, adding that it was taking "all precautionary measures for persons who have been in contact with the infected people… and has taken samples from them to examine if they are infected." The health ministry, however, did not release any information on the number of people who may have been exposed to the virus. The novel coronavirus, or hCoV-EMC, was first detected in mid-2012. The virus broke out in East Asia about a decade ago. So far, 16 people in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Germany, and Britain have died from the lethal disease. A total of 11 people have died from the virus in Saudi Arabia alone. The viruses cause common colds, pneumonia, and are also to blame for conditions such as SARS. In 2003, some 800 people died from SARS after it erupted in China.

In a recent application I was building there was a requirement for modules to be dynamically added at runtime based on a configuration file. Since the application was already using Parsley and Cairngorm I looked to the existing Cairngorm navigation and module libraries to see if this was supported. I quickly discovered that the dynamic addition of modules and then being able to navigate to these modules was not supported out of the box. This led me to implement my own solution on top of the existing Cairngorm 3 libraries. There have also been a number of questions over on the Adobe forums about this topic so I decided it would be worth blogging about.
To solve my problem I had to implement two new distinct features.
- Dynamically add modules at runtime
- Connect these dynamically loaded modules to Cairngorm navigation
Dynamically Adding Modules
I'll first look at how modules can be dynamically added to a Cairngorm/Parsley application based on a configuration file.
This is the simple XML file I defined that contains information about each module that needs to be loaded.
<module id="mod1" label="Module 1" url="Module1.swf" location="content"/>
<module id="mod2" label="Module 2" url="Module2.swf" location="content"/>
During the initialization of the main presentation model a message is dispatched to load the XML.
sendMessage(new LoadModuleConfigMessage(LoadModuleConfigMessage.LOAD));
Once the XML is loaded, a ModuleSet is updated to include a collection of Modules defined in the XML. After the XML completes loading and is configured a second message is dispatched to add the modules to the view. In this example all the modules are added to a ViewStack through the use of a repeater.
<mx:Repeater id="panelRepeater" dataProvider="{model.panels}"
<core:ControllerViewLoader width="100%" height="100%"
You'll notice that the repeater gets its data from a panels collection in its presentation model and simply repeats a ControllerViewLoader. In the presentation model for this ViewStack there is a handler for the LoadModuleConfigMessage complete message. In this handler the panels collection is generated by creating objects that contain the moduleId, moduleInfo and loadPolicy. The moduleInfo property is an instance of the ParsleyModuleManager which implements the IModuleManager interface. It is this module manager that defines the location of the actual module SWF and what context and domain it should be loaded into.
[MessageHandler(selector="complete")]public function loadComplete(msg:LoadModuleConfigMessage):void{toolbarPM.menuItems.items.removeAll();...moduleViews = new Array();var i:int;for (i = 0; i < modSet.modules.length; i++){var module:Module = modSet.modules.getItemAt(i) as Module;var view:Object = new Object();view.moduleId = module.location + "." + module.id;var modInfo:ParsleyModuleManager =new ParsleyModuleManager(module.url, this.context,ClassInfo.currentDomain, null, null);view.moduleInfo = modInfo;view.loadPolicy = new BasicLoadPolicy(); ;moduleViews.push(new ObjectProxy(view));//Add menu bar itemvar dest:ContentDestination = new ContentDestination();dest.label = module.label;dest.destination = view.moduleId;toolbarPM.menuItems.addDestination(dest);}}panels = new ArrayCollection(moduleViews);}
Connecting Dynamically Added Modules to Navigation
A [Waypoint] metadata tag was first added to the ViewStack as specified in the Cairngorm documentation.
After the repeatEnd event is dispatched by the repeater in the ViewStack the modules have all been added and can now be safely wired to Cairngorm navigation. This can be achieved by dispatching the Initialize event of the view stack.
vs.dispatchEvent(new Event(FlexEvent.INITIALIZE));
In order to actually navigate to a module the module has to be loaded first and then navigated to. The module only needs to be loaded the first time it is navigated to.
dispatchMessage(new LoadModuleMessage(destination)); dispatchEvent(NavigationEvent.createNavigateToEvent(destination));
Finally, when defining landmarks in each individual module the landmark id must match the module id that was defined. In the case of my solution moduleId is created from the location and id attributes defined in moduleConfig.xml.

Limbaugh Peddles Hysteria Over Possibility That Libya Embassy Was Recruiting Gay People
Blog ››› ››› ANDY NEWBOLD
Rush Limbaugh hyped a right-wing media story that suggested the U.S. Embassy in Libya's hiring process favored bodyguards who were same-sex partners of government employees. However, the actual application's selection process simply reads that preference is given to veterans and family members of government employees, a category which includes same-sex spouses.
On his radio program, Rush Limbaugh touted a story by right-wing news site CNS.com which claimed that the U.S. Embassy in Libya "gave preference to" same-sex spouses or domestic partners of government employees for bodyguard positions. Limbaugh used the story to attack the embassy for its hiring process of bodyguards, claiming "they solicited for same-sex couples" in the job notices.
In a later segment, Limbaugh went on to claim that being the same-sex domestic partner of a U.S. government employee was "a job prerequisite" for the position. From the show:
However, the job posting -- which was posted in January -- does not list same-sex domestic partners of government employees as a prerequisite. The applications specifically states, "When fully qualified, US Citizen Eligible Family Members (USEFMs) and US Veterans are given preference."
The application goes on to define what criteria an "Eligible Family Member" (EFM) must meet in order to receive a preference in hiring. EFM's include everything from being a "spouse or same-sex domestic partner" of a U.S. government employee to being their "child," "parent," "brother or sister":
• Spouse or same-sex domestic partner (as defined in 3 FAM 1610);
• Child, who is unmarried and under 21 years of age or, regardless of age, is incapable of self-support. The term shall include, in addition to natural offspring, stepchildren and adopted children and those under legal guardianship of the employee or the spouse when such children are expected to be under such legal guardianship until they reach 21 years of age and when dependent upon and normally residing with the guardian;
• Parent (including stepparents and legally adoptive parents) of the employee or of the spouse, when such parent is at least 51 percent dependent on the employee for support;
• Sister or brother (including stepsisters and stepbrothers, or adoptive sisters or brothers) of the employee, or of the spouse, when such sibling is at least 51 percent dependent on the employee for support, unmarried, and under 21 years of age, or regardless of age, incapable of self-support.

Cricket Canada has announced sweeping changes across the organization coming out of the recent Annual General Meeting in Halifax in March. Cricket Canada president, Ravin Moorthy, was pleased with the unified approach the board of directors has taken to modernize the organization
"We are facing significant pressures in the organization and in order to respond adequately we needed to modernize and take some tangible steps forward" said Moorthy.
Major highlights of the changes that can be expected to take hold this year:
- Clear division between policy and operational control of the organization
- ·Day to day business of the organization will be managed by the Chief Executive and his staff. The staff will include a team of 'hired'volunteers
- Consolidation of the Cricket Canada Board of Directors from 17 to 7 members - this in addition to changes in the membership will allow Cricket Canada to comply with the new government guidelines for Not-for-profits
- Vetting of nominations for directorship positions by a nominations committee
- Term limits on positions
- Creating minimum qualification of standards for selectors for all teams
The move on selection has been a long standing issue between Cricket Canada and the International Cricket Council dating back through several administrations.
Moorthy was pleased with the boards support. "It wasn't just a matter of ticking a box, it's a matter of good governance and was pleased to see the directors back us on a policy that no longer requires regionalism and electoral dealings to appoint selectors. "
Under the new approved policy, Cricket Canada's selection panel will consist of members with minimum first class or international playing experience and will have to apply and be 'hired' on fixed terms. This policy will be implemented across all of Cricket Canada's playing programs.
Cricket Canada Chief Executive Officer Doug Hannum is upbeat about the organization moving forward.
"We've put ourselves in a position to move forward with a fully professional team and we're looking forward to the challenge. The moves made at the AGM are a direct result of the strategic planning initiative we put forward last year and it is starting to bear fruit"
After completing a successful AGM, Moorthy was realistic about the challenges faced in the short term,
"We've managed to modernize the structure and bring it in-line with accepted business practices. While we can now say we've made administrative progress, we are now firmly focused on the field and our full support is behind our high performance team for the qualifiers ahead in 2013 and 2014."
Cricket Canada now looks forward to a summer schedule which opens with Canada's premier domestic tournament, the National Cricket League from June 23rd – July 1st before shifting toward international fixtures with the Auty Cup vs USA in late July, and ICC World Cricket League and ICUP matches with UAE and HOLLAND in August.

Ivy League Weekly Release
PHILADELPHIA – Freshman forward Alec Neumann picked up a pair of weekly awards on Monday – equaling the number of goals he scored Sunday as part of a five-point match against Sacred Heart.
Neumann's efforts up top for the Quakers earned him both Ivy League and Philadelphia Soccer Six Rookie of the Week honors. In addition, he was named College Sports Madness Ivy League Player of the Week. He is the first Penn player to earn both Ivy and PS6 awards in the same week since Duke Lacroix did so in 2011. Junior midfielder Louis Schott was selected to the Ivy League's weekly Honor Roll.
Neumann started both matches this weekend as the Quakers outscored their opponents, 7-0, en route to the championship of the Sheraton University City Penn Soccer Classic. After taking two shots in Penn's 2-0 win over Stony Brook on Friday, Neumann exploded for five points against the Pioneers on Sunday.
With the Quakers leading 1-0 in the first half, Neumann scored twice in the final 20 minutes of the half to give the Red and Blue a commanding 3-0 lead at halftime. His first goal came in the 26', Neumann finishing a pretty passing play from Stephen Baker to Alex Reddy across the box before Neumann slipped his first career goal into an open cage.
Just over 13 minutes later, Neumann created his own luck when he converged upon Sacred Heart's keeper and blocked a clearing attempt. Neumann hopped on the loose ball and quickly sent his second career marker into the open cage.
In the 80', Neumann added his first career assist with a well-placed ball down the left flank to Duke Lacroix who would go on to add Penn's fifth goal of the match.
The Quakers head to California this weekend for a pair of matches.Penn will play Cal Poly on Friday night before a Sunday match against UC-Santa Barbara.

Reactions to Frank Ocean's Coming Out
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
We reported yesterday that rapper and Odd Future member Frank Ocean had come out via a letter posted to his Tumblr. Because the world wide web is such a large and scary place, especially in times of announcements of queerness, let us now break down the who, what, and WTF of Frank Ocean commentary.
First up, we have Def Jam records co-founder Russell Simmons who wrote a blog post called, 'The Courage of Frank Ocean Just Changed the Game!'. He writes from the heart, saying:
"Today is a big day for hip-hop. It is a day that will define who we really are ... I am profoundly moved by the courage and honesty of Frank Ocean. Your decision to go public about your sexual orientation gives hope and light to so many young people still living in fear. These types of secrets should not matter anymore, but we know they do, and because of that I decided to write this short statement of support for one of the greatest new artists we have."
Not all comments by music-types were that optimistic, however. Country singer Chely Wright (the first openly gay star in her genre) has talked about Frank's news in relation to her own coming out, to TMZ. She explains that her album sales dropped to a third of what they were before her coming out, and that certain venues no longer book her because they don't want to risk a protest. She still commends Frank though, and says he's forging a path for other artists to follow, saying, "I can't think of a better way for Frank to celebrate Independence Day."
Complex puts Frank's coming out in the context of other musician's who have come out, citing a few examples, like David Bowie who outed himself as bi in a Melody Maker interview in 1972, but later said it was the "biggest mistake I ever made." And gay icon Ellen DeGeneres, who came out in 1997 after which her ratings dropped off the charts and then took years to get her career back on track. And other icons like Elton John, George Michael and Freddie Mercury, who only came out once they were well and truly established in music and comfortable enough to deal with the possible backlash.
Frank's Odd Future cohorts were along the first to support him (despite being constantly criticised for their use of homophobic lyrics):
Earl Sweatshirt summarised his feelings as succinctly as a Mum using SMS:
And even though Tyler, The Creator (who we interviewed for Oyster #98) uses the word "faggot" a lot, he too took to Twitter to publicly support Frank:
Other musicians also tweeted support for Frank, such as Chromeo, Solange Knowles, A-Trak, and Action Bronson, as well as hip hop news website Missinfo.tv:
Author/Journalist Dream Hampton:
The Incredibly Amazing Solange Knowles (who we interviewed for #96):
Grantland writer Rembert Browne:
Rapper Action Bronson:
Some sort of Canadian teenaged Chris Brown advocate:
Hot 97's Miss Info:
And, then of course, there were the random jerks:
We say screw the jerks, and big ups to Frank for making himself visible as a gay man, especially in mainstream hip hop culture where it's a rarity. We can't wait for his debut album to come out! (Channel Orange, set for release 17 July.)

Best Dressed: The Week In Outfits
Apparently people are trying to make wearable technology…well, wearable. Our expectations (and hopes) are high. We may think what's out there now is not so chic, but fashion companies like Tory Burch and Opening Ceremony are teaming up with tech companies to make us some wearable tech that we'll actually want to wear.

You want to hold off on buying that [insert whatever accessory you're obsessing over this season], because soon enough, you'll be able to print it. There's an awesome new pen thing called the 3Doodler that lets you create actual 3D objects using plastic ink sticks. CES proved that the 3D printing craze isn't going anywhere. If anything, it's getting bigger and cheaper, and will soon be coming to a household near you. Does this mean I can draw myself a Céline bag?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/1/2013 (1680 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PASADENA -- The most complicated love-hate relationship on television is about to get even messier.
Boyhood friends and grown-up enemies Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder -- the characters at the core of one of TV's best dramas, Justified -- will find that their emotions have deepened and become much more directed when the series returns for its fourth season next week (Wednesday, Jan. 23 on Super Channel).
"There's one line that Boyd's never said in the previous three seasons that he says this season," said actor Walton Goggins, whose performance as backwoods-Kentucky crime boss Crowder stands as a singularly brilliant achievement in current TV drama. "It's really interesting to me, and an indication as to where they've kind of come in this relationship -- Boyd looks at Raylan at one point, and he says, 'Raylan, I don't like you.' And it's the first time he's ever really kind of said it that way. Over the course of their relationship, Boyd has seen their friendship as one thing and Raylan has seen it as something else. But at the end of this season, they may see it the same way, and that is that they don't like each other."
For those who haven't yet sampled Justified -- which, by this critic's thinking, has been TV's best drama for the past three seasons -- here's a brief rundown: based on a short story by author Elmore Leonard, the series follows the crime-fighting exploits of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), whose shoot-first attitude has forced his bosses to banish him to his home state of Kentucky, where in addition to such mundane tasks as serving warrants and transferring prisoners, he tries to put a lid on the unique brand of drug trafficking that occurs in hillbilly country.
A central figure in the drug trade is Boyd Crowder, a childhood schoolmate and former coal mine co-worker of Raylan's who has followed in the Crowder-family footsteps and become one of rural Kentucky's most dangerous criminals.
Justified, which is produced for U.S. cable's FX network, airs in Canada on Super Channel (Showcase owns second-run rights to the series and is currently airing Season 2 on Tuesdays).
The series has featured some stellar guest-star performances, including an Emmy-winning turn by Margo Martindale in Season 2 as the matriarch of a rival backwoods crime family.
In Season 4, however, the focus is on Raylan's effort to solve a 30-year-old cold case and Boyd's struggle to maintain his illicit businesses when religion, in the form of a charismatic tent-show preacher, comes to Harlan County.
"We stumbled upon something, an old story I'd heard of that's nicknamed 'The Bluegrass Conspiracy,'" series creator Graham Yost told TV critics gathered here during FX's portion of the U.S. networks' semi-annual press tour in Los Angeles. "I knew that it involved someone whose parachute didn't work and he landed somewhere in the South -- I believe it was actually Tennessee -- with a lot of cocaine on him.
"So that (idea) sparked something in us, and we thought it would be interesting to play that out -- what could have happened 30 years ago that would have an impact on events today, and of course, it ties into Raylan's family and and Boyd's family... so that's what kicked it off. We really thought that would be a fun thing to try this year instead of just doing another 'big bad' (villain)."
As the show's idiosyncratic hero, Olyphant -- known to many TV fans for his portrayal of another conflicted lawman, Deadwood's Sheriff Seth Bullock -- said he's thrilled by the challenge of playing a character created by Leonard.
"The fun about the game that we seem to play with this character, (and) the trick when you're playing an iconic character, is you can only go so far," he said. "So the key is to try to figure out how to throw rocks at that guy and how to make the situation complicated enough that the character remains a mystery and remains interesting. That's the trick, because without that, it just looks bored. And I can't tell you what a lovely thing it is to be in the thick of Season 4 and still find the job so terrifically interesting and entertaining and engaging, not only as an actor on the show, but as an audience member and a fan of the show."

Looking for a way to add a little extra dazzle to your wedding stationery? This week's DIY is just for you. And we thought there's no better way to showcase wow-worthy add-ons than with our gorgeous, new ethnic wedding invitations. Let's get started…
- Your favorite stationery designs. We used our Vintage Scrollwork wedding invitation, our Paisley Flourish rehearsal dinner invitation and coordinating wedding invitation, and our Peacock Promise wedding invitation.
- Pocketfolds in a coordinating color. These offer a beautiful way to package your stationery suite.
- Adhesive gems, decorative paper, rhinestones—anything you love that will add some sparkle. You can find these at any craft or paper goods store.
- Double-sided tape and/or tacky glue.
Rhinestone Embellishments
Dressing up your design with something tiny and sparkly is fairly simple, but takes some precision. We had to get out the tweezers for accurate placement—and tacky glue for the gems that didn't come with an adhesive backing. This takes two steps: decide where you want it, then place it carefully onto the cardstock.
Pretty Paper Backing
Many of our wedding invitations already come with designs on the back, but this is just another way to play up your style. We found some gorgeous specialty paper at a local craft store, and cut it true to the size of the invitation using a paper cuter with a built-in ruler. Once you've got it cut to the perfect size, use tacky glue to adhere it to the back of your card and it's ready to impress.
For this second look, you'll have to double your wedding invitation order—because what you see on the front of the pocketfolds enclosure is actually the back of the wedding invitation. But we absolutely love this unique approach to sending out your stationery… just imagine your guests' reaction when they open that envelope!
Glue your invitation onto the pocketfolds cover (facing down) to get gorgeous, and the rest of your wedding suite (invite, response card and any enclosure cards) will sit snug inside. You can also line the inside with paper to give the ornate stationery an equally elaborate backdrop, like so:
Who knew a bit of paper and some gems could transform your stationery in such a way?
Did you try out this DIY project at home? Send your photos to email@example.com and we'll be happy to feature your handiwork.

First the desktop computer breaks down … leaving me to rely on this piece of carcillo Mac laptop all weekend, at least through today.
Then, I'm out mowing the lawn Sunday when it starts to rain. But the garage door opener broke, and nobody is home, and I don't have my keys because I'm mowing the lawn, so I'm locked out of the house in the rain. And now I have to find somebody to come fix the garage door, because my car is locked in the garage and the door won't budge.
So that's how I'm going to spend my first day of vacation. Yee-freakin-hah.
Got quite a few volunteers for guest blogs. Could always use more, if anybody's interested. If so, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Man repelling" has helped many women feel more comfortable in their own skin, spiky accessories and sequinned jackets but on the other hand being OTT often scares and confuses those with the XY chromosome.
It has taken almost 30 years but I've finally found my style spirit thanks to a fast-talking, piss-taking 23-year-old New Yorker named Leandra Medine, creator of The Man Repeller blog which then spurred on a fashion movement and gave birth to what quickly became my favourite verb.
The so-not-sexy style reached our sartorial psyche at Australian Fashion Week back in May and even earlier for our Northern hemisphere comrades.
For upcoming seasons, be prepared to say hello to cartoon characters and crop tops and goodbye to your bloke.
"Initially what defined me as a 'man repeller' was my conscious effort to wear clothing that was attractive in my opinion but not necessarily in a man's opinion," Medine said in filmed Q&A where she was both the interviewer and interviewee.
"The whole blog is based on this premise that I'd been dating these three guys and none of them would commit and I just didn't understand why."
When she first launched the blog from her bedroom in her parent's Upper East Side home in 2010 she told The New York Times:
"I think men like things tight and simple.
"It's not even about slutty, tiny dresses from Bebe because that's not very becoming of a woman either. But to guys, harem pants don't exactly shape the body, shoulder pads are unusual because you look like a linebacker and sequins are a cry for attention."
It's refreshing dialogue considering we rarely go 24 hours without copping a glimpse of Miranda Kerr's taut thigh, hearing a Kardashian-inspired Kanye West love song called Perfect Bitch or reading about some glamourous singer/waitress/model/waitress/actress/waitress bowing down to a blinged-up Beyonce.
"This pic could single-handedly destroy the self esteem of an entire nation," Rihanna posted on Instagram on Sunday.
If said nation aspired to look like someone Sting and The Police would sing about then sure, right on Ri Ri, way to support the sisterhood.
I still think I have 16 chins when doing sit ups and I am an open mouth breather when I work out but I'm now at a point in my life where I'm just as comfortable in sneakers, covered in sweat as I am in heels and high-street garb.
There is hope for the fashion savvy single gal though – Ms Man Repeller, like Queen Bey, got hitched to a guy who likes her very much. Just as she is.
She wore the longer version of the Marchesa dress Miranda Kerr paraded down the red carpet at the 2011 Met Ball and added her own flair with a white satin biker jacket and white leather vest.
She refused to buy a wedding cake and instead invested that portion of her big day's budget in a selection of new Celine handbags.
While fans of The Man Repeller may think it's all about "psoriasis jeans", hairy legs, furry shoes and how many bracelets and charms can be stacked on one's arm for an "arm party", Medine has always said female empowerment is the most important achievement of her blog.
Empowerment rather than consciously constructing an outfit to make a man's skin crawl is what made me change my mindset not just about dressing but for day-to-day situations.
Soon after I discovered The Man Repeller I picked up a copy of Run Fat Bitch Run by Ruth Field.
In the same take-no-prisoners, like-it-or-lump-it tone as Medine, Field's exercise manual has taught me how to stop worry about how I look when I exercise and just "get sh.t done".
"I will whisper in your ear 'YOU FAT BITCH' when you are contemplating one more roast potato. I am the voice you need to listen to and obey," she writes.
I still think I have 16 chins when doing sit ups and I am an open mouth breather when I work out but I'm now at a point in my life where I'm just as comfortable in sneakers, covered in sweat as I am in heels and high-street garb.
Who knows if it's maturity or if I've just started listening to the right external, no-nonsense voices but I can now run five kilometres and will quite happily assert myself when someone (who isn't Anna Wintour) decides to critique or discriminate against my wardrobe choices.
Small wins in the big scheme of things but I've never felt more comfortable in a world full of Photoshop and plastic.
If you'd like to have a laugh/stickybeak/hate on my version of man repelling on a daily basis, head on over to Facebook to check out my threads.

Officials in Samoa confirmed two deaths on Friday in the wake of Cyclone Evan and warned the storm was heading back to the capital Apia, which has already been hit by power cuts and flash flooding.
The cyclone, described by witnesses as the worst in decades, hit the Pacific island nation on Thursday afternoon, uprooting trees, bringing down power lines and flooding much of the city centre.
Hundreds of people were forced to seek shelter in evacuation centres as high winds tore roofs off homes and the Vaisigano river, which runs through the centre of the capital, burst its banks.
A Disaster Management Office spokeswoman said there had been at least two confirmed deaths, while media reported a number of children were missing after being swept away by the raging river.
"This is the biggest one I've been through and I've been through difficult situations in the Pacific (before)," New Zealand's high commissioner in Apia, Nick Hurley, told Radio New Zealand.
"The unpredictable nature of this one has made it quite different. The forecast winds did not give any indication of how strong the impact was going to be."
The Samoa Meteorological Service said that after heading out to sea, Cyclone Evan had wheeled around and was again bearing down on Apia.
A number of holiday resorts were reportedly flooded and the US embassy in Samoa has set up a hotline for citizens caught in the storm, advising them to move away from coastal areas.
In travel advice, the Australian government said the cyclone had caused "damage to local services and infrastructure, including communications and electricity services and Faleolo International Airport".
"The Australian High Commission in Apia has closed until further notice due to storm damage," it said.
The Fiji Meteorological Service has warned the cyclone could threaten northern parts of Tonga on Saturday and reach Fiji by Sunday.

Initially PAGEPress (formerly Medit), took charge of the production management of Haematologica (both print and online versions) providing its publishing services in outsourcing for this journal. It then added to its portfolio another important publication, the European Journal of Basic and Applied Histochemistry (now, European Journal of Histochemistry) distinguishing itself for its professional quality of scholarly publishing.
In 2008, the lack of specialized professional organizations on the Italian market led us to create the PAGEPress brand.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Eight days of early voting begins Saturday, and both parties and many organizations are urging people to take advantage of it.
Not only can people go to any early voting site in their county through Saturday, Nov. 3, but many counties keep their sites open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. (County-by-county early voting locations, times)
The ballots are four pages long and about 3,000 words -- the longest in the history of the Duval County elections. Because of the complexity of the ballot, voting could take longer than usual and lines at the polls could be long.
"This is going to be, if not the longest, one of the longest ballots ever in the history of Florida. So why not take advantage of early voting? Take your time, relax," Florida Senate candidate Aaron Bean said.
Organizers say at least 135 Florida churches will take part in "souls to the polls" bus and car caravans Sunday aimed at getting mostly Latino and African-American congregations to cast ballots early.
Labor unions and church leaders are also planning rallies Saturday that thousands of people are expected to attend.
"Basically, I am encouraging everyone, regardless of party, to get out and vote and make sure your vote counts," said Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla.
This year's early voting period is shorter than in previous elections. Voting rights groups concerned about problems with access unsuccessfully filed court challenges to a reduction in the number of days, but most larger counties will keep the early voting sites open 12 hours each day, so the number of hours of early voting will remain the sames as previous years.
"We have 17 sites in Duval County," Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland said. "It doesn't matter which one you live by. You may go to the one close to where you work. And they're open every day from Saturday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m."
Officials say more than 1.1 million Floridians have already cast ballots through mail-in absentee voting.
"That's the value of it. You can take the time, you don't have to feel rushed, you can think about what you're doing, you pay attention to what's on the ballot," City Council President Bill Bishop said of early voting. "It's long; it's complicated; there's a lot there. We want people to be educated and informed when they go to the polls."

Garrison Keillor rocks the rhubarb in Lanesboro during DFL fundraiser
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Thursday, September 27, 2012 8:31 AM
Garrison Keillor interacts with Peggy Hanson of Lanesboro during one of the skits in his program.
It might've been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, but man, Lanesboro and Mr. Keillor were rockin' the rhubarb.
You betcha...the Fillmore County DFL hosted its fundraiser last Wednesday evening, welcoming author and red-shoed radio man Garrison Keillor to the stage at the Lanesboro Community Center.
The Chatfield Brass Band Jazz Combo warmed up the crowd with its collaborative, spirited trumpet-and-sax groove, "Accordion Nation" performed some serious bellows-based choruses, then the "Rutabaga Brothers" brought the house to its feet with covers of Chicago blues tunes and Bob Dylan's "Times are A'Changin'," after which the Lanesboro-famous "Rhubarb Sisters" charmed the audience with "Rhubarb Pie," a Keillor Prairie Home Companion classic and "What Do We Do With the Extra Rhubarb?", sung to the tune of "Drunken Sailor."
Before Keillor took the stage, District 28B Senate candidate Jack Krage spoke, noting, "I'm not a villain...I'm just your average short guy," working toward "finding common ground and working together to get Minnesota back where it used to be, as the most progressive state in the Union."
District 28B House candidate Ken Tschumper followed Krage, raising the microphone to his level before sharing that his concerns are about "taking back democracy" and paying very close attention to climate change, as "the rate of climate change is much faster than people thought five years ago."
He said he will also focus on the worries of the middle and lower classes, as "poor people do not have time to worry about climate change, and the middle class is worried about slipping out of the middle, so they can't be allies."
Once introduced, Keillor told how he views the role of political parties to be juxtaposed, as they used to be able to work together.
"There's a point where we have to reach out to other people in order to have a decent society," he stated. "You can lead a pretty good life on $30,000 to $50,000 a year until you need to be protected, until you have a stroke. What made America great is that we gave each other a chance to be the best people we could be. That's why our ancestors came to America - to get away from the feudal system, so their children could have equal opportunities. I've met so many parents who are in serious trouble. My daughter has a learning disability, and I know that parents will do everything to give a kid a chance...it's time this society helps give those parents a chance."
He related that a family from Ramsay County has brought their wheelchair-bound son to his shows at the Fitzgerald Theatre for years, equipped with everything he needs to make his life as rich as their own lives.
"Ramsay County has gone all out to give that kid a chance to have a life and not be put in a warehouse," he added.
Keillor pointed out that current proposed Republican budgeting "has enormous holes in the safety net that keeps people from falling" through health care and education system cracks, and that he feels that is a travesty.
Following his appearance onstage, Keillor stated in an interview, "Every industrialized country, except this one, has a national health care plan. It's about 10 percent of the people in the population that incurs about 60 percent of the cost of health care. There's no reason to blame that 10 percent. Something can happen to anybody, and there's no reason to blame them. People are being cared for in emergency rooms, the expensive way. It's a terribly inefficient, costly way of dealing with problems. The simple, garden-variety problems land people in an emergency room that's set up for intensive care. There are a lot of problems with the healthcare system, the costs are an outrage...it's an issue, and I think it shouldn't be."
And no Garrison Keillor appearance would be complete without tales of his childhood, the familiar things upon which he based his books, beginning with "Lake Wobegon Days," the stories intermingled with his reality, or perhaps, his reality intermingled with the stories, memories he reflected upon with the audience's rapt attention.
"I wanted to be on the football team when I was going into seventh grade," he recounted, but if you were going to be on the football team, you had to go downtown for a physical at the doctor's office. I went downtown, and the doctor listened, found a click in my heart, and thanks to that click in my heart, instead of becoming a professional football player, I became a professional writer at the age of 13, working at an old typewriter."
He recalled how he was a tall, gangly youth who "didn't know how to ask for what I wanted, and I thought that if I refused when someone asked what I wanted, they would ask again, and on the third inquiry, I could accept."
Fortunately, he had a friend who "knew how to ask for what he wanted, and since I had made him laugh once, the biggest laugh he'd ever had...it was probably one of those things like 'Why do gorillas have big nostrils? Because gorillas have big fingers,' and it happened to be at junior high lunch, and I told him the joke just as he ate some tapioca pudding...which came out his nose in great strings, he knew to ask for what I wanted...to go out with Christine Peterson."
The bard cited how he went on a date with Christine Peterson in his father's car, both of them carrying their swimsuits to change into once they arrived at the lake, how he went off into the woods to change, she stayed in the car to change, and how they didn't go swimming. They just sat on the shore and talked, then threw away the sandwiches his mother had made so that she would think he'd been out and enjoyed a wholesome afternoon with a nice girl. Which he had. The pair climbed back into the car, he dropped her off and went home.
Shortly thereafter, his father departed in the family car, bound for church at the Brethren, but turned the car around swiftly, having found a pair of girl's underpants under the seat.
Keillor continued, "He asked, 'How could you? How could you? What have we done wrong? How could you?' And I was thinking, 'Finally, I'm being accused of a sin I wish I would have committed'."
Keillor concluded, "I wrote my stories about our parents, the people who were children who grew up in hardship, cheerful people who grew up in hard times...our ancestors. March forward and be true to what you believe in."
After he led the audience in singing "America the Beautiful," the "Rhubarb Sisters" rounded out the show with a sing-along, presenting Keillor with a signed copy of a song dedicated to him, an ode to rhubarb and all its uses.

Man stole video games, police say
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
A 25-year-old Gainesville electrician was arrested Friday afternoon after police say he stole 10 video game discs from a store last month.
On Jan. 12, Chester Pavlovski of 4546 NW 13th St. was captured on surveillance video at the Walmart on Northwest 13th Street, which has since closed. He cut the cases of the video games, removed the disks and concealed them before walking out of the store without paying for the merchandise, according to a Gainesville Police Department report.
A loss prevention employee approached Pavlovski outside the store and asked him to come back inside. Pavlovski complied initially, walking back with the Walmart employee. Then, he turned around and punched the employee in the mouth, police say. The two struggled briefly before Pavlovski fled.
The Walmart employee later identified Pavlovski in a photo lineup.
The next day, Pavlovski was captured on video selling eight of the 10 stolen disks at Game Stop, a second-hand dealer at 3544 SW Archer Road. At the dealer, he signed a form affirming that he was the rightful owner of the property he was selling, according to a report.
Pavlovski was arrested on charges of unarmed robbery and providing false information to second-hand property.

Hi, I'm new to glade and mostly new to python. Tried this tutorial
got the following error ......
GLib-GObject-ERROR **: cannot create instance of abstract (non-instantiatable) type `GtkBox'
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
Thought I might have made a typo, tried his zipped code. Same error. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, if that matters.
I'm just trying to learn how to make a simple GUI app that will execute a command when I click a button. Did the same thing in Gambus years ago to build a quick and dirty app to help teach my daughter the alphabet. I would like to use glade or some other RAD tool to do the same. In gambus, I just used EXEC and it was pretty simple.
Is there something similar in python ?
AS I understand it, I first have to create a GUI with glade, then write a .py python script that uses the .glade file, which needs to be in the same directory. Seems needlessly complex for the simple task I have in mind. A simple grid of buttons that EXEC a command when pressed.
Is there a better tool out there for my simple needs ? Maybe better suited for a novice ?
Thanks for the help, sorry for the rambling post.....

- How to Read a Study Record
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American women. Metastatic disease including metastatic breast cancer unfortunately remains incurable. One reason is due to the inability to develop specific therapies for specific cancer subsets.
The use of modern genomic techniques has significantly enhanced our recent understanding of breast cancer biology. Five distinct breast cancer subsets have been recognized, one of which is basal-like breast cancer. Basal-like breast cancer is typically estrogen receptor (ER) negative, progesterone receptor (PR) negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2-Neu) negative. This is referred to as triple negative breast cancer or TBNC. TBNC represents a significant proportion of breast cancer patients (10-20%) and has a poor prognosis with no targeted approach to therapy as of yet.
Tigatuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting a death receptor on the breast cancer cells. Previous studies have shown that combining antibodies with selected chemotherapy agents have induced tumor cell death. The hypothesis of this study is to use tigatuzumab and combine it with Abraxane to serve as a targeting agent in metastatic TBNC patients.
|Breast Cancer Triple Negative Breast Cancer Stage IV Breast Cancer Metastatic Breast Cancer
|Drug: Abraxane Drug: Tigatuzumab
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|An Open Label, Randomized, Phase II Trial of Abraxane (Paclitaxel Albumin-Bound Particles for Injectable Suspension), With or Without Tigatuzumab (a Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Death Receptor 5) in Patients With Metastatic, Triple Negative (ER, PR, and HER-2 Negative) Breast Cancer
- Objective response rate [ Time Frame: Interim analysis will be conducted after 11 patients have been accrued and completed in each arm. Final analysis will be at the conclusion of the study: about 2 years. ]The primary endpoint of this trial is the objective response rate as measured by complete responses and partial responses for the combination of tigatuzumab and Abraxane or Abraxane alone in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer. This information will be used to generate hypotheses for further trials.
- Characterization of the safety profile and treatment tolerance [ Time Frame: An interim safety analysis will be done for the first 6 patients enrolled in the combination group. The study will be on hold at that time. Final toxicity and safety evaluation will be at the conclusion of the study: about 2 years. ]The trial will allow for further characterization of the safety profile and treatment tolerance of tigatuzumab in combination with Abraxane.
- Determine progression free survival [ Time Frame: ~2 years ]The study will allow determination of progression free survival for both groups.
- Correlate the gene expression profile and the proliferation/apoptotic markers with disease responses observed from both groups of the study. [ Time Frame: ~2 years ]Correlate the pre-treatment tumor gene expression profile, DR5/DDX3/IAP profile, and proliferation/apoptotic with the objective response rate and progression free survival observed in both groups.
- Correlate circulating tumor cells with the objective response rate and the progression free survival observed in both groups. [ Time Frame: ~2 years ]Correlate serial measures of circulating tumor cells with the objective response rate and progression free survival observed in both groups. Changes will also be observed in apoptosis marker staining in the circulating tumor cells and correlation will be made to the corresponding serum levels.
- Characterize the immune response to tigatuzumab [ Time Frame: ~2 years ]Characterize patient immune response to tigatuzumab when administered in combination with Abraxane.
- Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the combined drugs (UAB only) [ Time Frame: ~2 years ]Determine the pharmacokinetics of tigatuzumab and Abraxane when given in combination. (This will be done only at UAB.)

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Combination Abraxane and Tigatuzumab
Patients will receive Abraxane at 100 mg/m2 X 3 doses on Days 1, 8, and 15 at 28-day intervals in combination with tigatuzumab to be administered as a 10 mg/kg loading dose followed by 5 mg/kg for the first cycle and then every other week on Days 1 and 15 for subsequent cycles. Patients will be evaluated for response every 8 weeks. Patients with disease progression will be taken off the study.
Drug: Tigatuzumab
Tigatuzumab will be administered as a loading dose of 10 mg/kg on Day 1, then 5 mg/kg on Day 15 and then every other week on Days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles. It will be given as an IV infusion over 60 minutes or less. No dose reductions will be allowed. Tigatuzumab will be administered in combination with the Abraxane according to the intervention described for it.
Other Name: Tigatuzumab, CS-1008
Experimental: Abraxane alone
Patients will receive Abraxane at 100 mg/m2 weekly X 3 doses on Days 1, 8, and 15 at 28-day intervals. Treatment may continue without interruption in patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) until there is progression of the disease or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will have the option to crossover to the combination arm based upon the pre-clinical data.
Drug: Abraxane
100 mg/m2 weekly X 3 doses (Days 1, 8, 15) at 28-day intervals until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Abraxane will be administered on an outpatient basis by an IV infusion over 30 minutes. Patients will be evaluated for response every 2 cycles (every 8 weeks).
Other Name: Abraxane, also ABI-007
Detailed Description:
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have pathologically documented Stage IV breast cancer. If blocks (paraffin-embedded tissue) from original diagnosis are available, they will be obtained to confirm the diagnosis and for correlative studies. Fifteen slides can be obtained from the block if the block is not available to be sent or released.
- Tumor must be HER-2-neu negative (defined as 0 or 1+ staining by immunohistochemistry or gene amplification ratio less than or equal to 2.0, by fluorescent in situ hybridization - FISH), estrogen and progesterone receptors negative (<10%).
- Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded)
Biopsy of a metastatic lesion is not required for protocol entry but all patients with reasonably accessible lesions (chest wall, breast, skin, subcutaneous, superficial lymph nodes, bones and liver metastases) must agree to biopsy.
- Biopsies may be done with local anesthesia or intravenous conscious sedation, according to standard institutional guidelines.
- If a biopsy requires general anesthesia, then it is only allowed if acquisition of tissue is necessary for clinical reasons and excess tissue that would otherwise have been discarded is then used for research purposes. If a biopsy requires general anesthesia, then a biopsy of that site for research purposes only, without a coexisting clinical indication is not allowed on this protocol.
- Patients with reasonably accessible lesions as described above, who will not agree with the biopsy, will not be enrolled in the trial.
- Patients with NO reasonably accessible lesions as described above can be enrolled in the trial.
Prior Therapy:
- There is no restriction as to the number of prior regimens for metastatic disease as long as patients have adequate performance status. Patients with no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease and patients who have received prior therapy with taxanes for metastatic disease (taxol or taxotere) are eligible. Stratification will be used for randomization of these two categories (no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease or prior taxane therapy for metastatic disease).
- Chemotherapy treatment prior to enrollment must be discontinued for at least 3 weeks prior to study entry.
- Patients must have completed radiation therapy at least 7 days prior to beginning protocol treatment.
- Patients must have recovered from all reversible toxicities related to prior therapy before beginning protocol treatment, and may not have any pre- existing treatment-related toxicities in excess of grade 1. Patients must have < grade 2 pre-existing peripheral neuropathy.
- Patients may receive bisphosphonates; however, if used, bone lesions may not be used for progression or response.
- At least 18 years of age (19 in Alabama).
- Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks.
- ECOG performance status < or equal to 2.
Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- Absolute neutrophil count: > or equal to 1,500/mcL,
- Hemoglobin: > or equal to 9 mg/dL,
- Platelets: > or equal to 100,000/mcL,
- Total bilirubin: < or equal to 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal,
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT): < or equal to 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal without liver metastases, OR < or equal to 5 X institutional upper limit of normal if documented liver metastases,
- Creatinine: < or equal to 2.0 mg/dL, OR calculated creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 50 mL/min (calculated by the Cockcroft and Gault method).
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- Both men and women are eligible.
- Use of an effective means of contraception in subjects of child-bearing potential.
- Negative serum or urine beta-HCG pregnancy test at screening for patients with childbearing potential.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
- Prior use of Abraxane for metastatic disease or in the adjuvant setting.
- Metastatic lesions identifiable only by PET.
- Patients may not be receiving concurrent chemotherapy for treatment of metastatic disease.
- Active brain metastases: evidence of progression < or equal to 3 months after local therapy (patients should be asymptomatic and off corticosteroids and anticonvulsants for at least 3 months prior to study entry).
- Patients with brain metastases must have at least one site of measurable disease outside of the central nervous system.
- Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, history of recent myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Pregnant or lactating women are excluded. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.
- A prior invasive malignant disease within five years except for skin cancer (squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma).
- Patients with known history of HIV or Hepatitis B because of potential for added toxicity from treatment regimen.
- Dementia or altered mental status that would prohibit the understanding of informed consent.

I found this one Sony Cyber-Shot my friend own's it and i'm happy with its resolution. But i'm not sure it says it uses a lense and it's a (dslr)? if i'm correct it has the lensse perminently attached right??? is this the best camera for 280$ for my school classes??
Looks like you can not change lenses - very deciving description on Sony website.
It depends what you want to do as it has lots of useful functions; but if you buy that now and then decide to get a camera with interchangable lenses later you will not get a lot back for it.I do not think it can shoot in RAW format either and it uses a memory stick - but if it is within your budget and you like it?If you go for a "proper" dslr you have to remember that good lenses are expensive; can be even more than the camera for one good lens.
The Alphas are the DSLRs for Sony.
So is it able to capture images in raw for my photoshop uses, also when you say "memory stick" does that mean any SD card?
There is no mention of RAW format in the link above - you would need to research more by reading some reviews. So I assume it will save all photos as jpg type; they will still work in photoshop.
Memory stick is a Sony propriatory flash storage system - it used to be a lot more expensive than SD etc. but I have not looked at the prices lately. If you decided to buy this camera now and brought some memory sticks then changed to another brand later you would not be able to use the memory - there is a chance that the next camera would not support SD either but more devices can use it like laptops.
great camera i love to but this!!!
About 5 month ago I buy a Sony a33 DSLR. It's very good choice for hobbys and family photos..
What would be a good option in the 280$ range for a camera that has "SD" memory and can shoot in raw?
I have this camera and is very good.
For that price range, I don't know of many cameras that you can change the lenses on etc, but you might want to look more into a Canon PowerShot S95 with 10.1 MP
It's good for beginners and hobbyists.
I'm. Looking for one that can capture images in the RAW format for editing in photoshop at school, ideas ?
I think before learning to edit RAW format you should learn to adjust levels, exposure, saturation and some basic adjustments in jpg. (With photoshop or GIMP).
I've worked alot with the .jpg, .png, .giff and .tiff , all from images on the web.I have just never owned a camera. well.. one from walmart for the family. besides i'm confident i'll pick up working with ".raw" in a few month.
any ideas?
Panasonic Lumix FZ38 has RAW and is a super-zoom camera too.
I wouldn't get this camera. If you look at the specs, it says it has 9 megapixels and a 20x zoom. Those two together cause a huge problem, the 20x zoom sounds like a good feature but most people forget that you should NEVER zoom to get a good picture. And 9 megapixels is just a BAD quality to a photo. I would try and find a better camera..
Have a look to FUJIFILM FinePix HS20EXR (it has RAW)
It's not all about megapixels. Lens quality and sensor size matter as much. I guarantee my old 6 megapixel konica minolta and a carl zeiss lense takes a better picture than any compact with twice as many pixels.
Thanks I sided with "Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35" I got a great deal on amazon for a refurbished unit.
That camera is good for taking pictures for friends and family...
I think its okay for $280. That great dslr.

Everything felt as if it had returned to its proper alignment on Sunday afternoon.
I attended Banner Day not as a traditional reporter- though those lines are far from clear anyway in 2012- but with my wife, my parents and my two-year-old daughter. It only seemed right; I'd written a book, after all, calling for Banner Day's return. I needed to experience it viscerally.
We carried a banner recognizing my father's favorite player as a child, Duke Snider, my favorite, Darryl Strawberry, and the man my daughter emulates, sticking her tongue out as she runs, David Wright.
The Mets got this one right. They opened the ballpark to more participation from their fans, and the fans responded with adoration.
Without question, this is coming late in the game, with the attendance figure-just 28,000+ paid, well short of the 42,000+ the stadium holds- suggesting that the combination of early-season success and goodwill gestures haven't brought back the fans who helped make the Mets the second-most attended MLB team in 2008. They were down even from the 30,791 paid on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend in 2011.
Here's hoping the Mets are patient with a fan base who needs to see more goodwill before committing again, as they have. Days like Sunday, though, which are well-executed and give fans a real sense of stake in the team, are the way to do it. Necessity may be the mother of this invention by the Mets, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be praised for inventing correctly-even if that invention is merely a return to what worked in the past.
All I know is that my daughter is still talking about what it felt like to walk on a real baseball field. I've gotten to do it plenty as a professional, but it is a very different thing to sit in the dugout, awaiting a player's press availability, and walk that warning track as part of three generations of baseball fans. It was a glorious set of memories, and the Mets made it possible, because only your favorite baseball team, really, can make such things possible.
I don't think I was alone either. The crowd may have been smaller than ownership wants or needs right now, but the people who were there lacked that curdled feeling so present at Shea Stadium, then Citi Field, since the unpleasantness began in 2007. Maybe those are the people who have left. I don't know.
But the banners were hopeful. This is a fan base, after all, that has made a conscious choice not to root for the team just as geographically convenient, with the added benefit of winning more than any franchise in any major sport. Think about that one. These aren't people who are demanding of winning or else. I've always thought of Mets fans as people who would rather root for a Lucas Duda than find reason to scorn him, when there are ample reasons for both responses in Duda's game.
And Banner Day has always been filled with people who simply want to express hope in the face of overwhelming logic. Banners exist to celebrate the hope of May; never mind that last year's banner, or the year before's, weren't ultimately prognostications.
Hope in this team, based on the talent available and statistical study of the team's performance to date, suggests that we may soon look back at Banner Day as a high water mark. I've read various columnists suggesting that as long as the Mets tread water, win, say, 80 games, that 2012 will count as progress.
Allow me to suggest that if the Mets utterly collapse on the field, finish with 65 wins, and end the season hopelessly out of the race, 2012 still will count as a year of progress. A team that, by all rights, ought to have been out of the race by Memorial Day is tied for a playoff spot. And Citi Field, really for the first time, feels like a place of hope instead of measured despair.
This Mets team may disappoint on the field, or it may not. But Citi Field, on Sunday, finally felt like Shea Stadium at its finest. My daughter sang "Meet the Mets" for our crowded car as we drove over the Whitestone Bridge. Exactly how it might go wrong on the field, as it does in so many episodes of Mets Yearbook, could wait for another day.

5 Ways to Cut 100 Calories: Sandwichesby Dana Angelo White in Uncategorized, September 20, 2011
Packing your own lunch can save money and calories. Here are 5 ways to cut 100 calories when you pack up sandwiches.
Sandwich 1: Tuna, Chicken or Egg Salad
Pitfall: Too much mayo
Smarter Sandwiches: Each tablespoon of mayo has 90 calories. These salad options can be nutritious and high in protein, but you need to watch the fat. Trim these salads by down-sizing the scoops of mayo or replacing half with nonfat Greek yogurt like in this recipe for 5-ingredient chicken salad.
Sandwich 2: Subs and Hoagies
Pitfall: Too much bread
Smarter Sandwiches: A 12-inch sub roll averages 450 calories, while 2 slices of bread will only set you back about 200. Choose whole grain breads for extra protein and fiber. Already use bread for your sandwiches? You can save 70 calories by opting for an English muffin instead.
Sandwich 3: Classic Deli Sandwich
Pitfall: Pounds of deli meat
Smarter Sandwiches: Deli meats like roasted turkey and ham average about 30 calories per ounce. Instead of loading up with a half pound of meat (it's easier to do than you might think), keep portions to 3-4 ounces max and add lots of fresh veggies instead.
Sandwich 4: Grilled Cheese
Pitfall: Cheesy explosion
Smarter Sandwiches: Each slice of cheese has 80 to 100 calories. Use one slice less or switch to a low-fat version – they average about 50 to 60 calories per slice.
More tips for lightening up grilled cheese
Option 5: Chicken Cutlet
Pitfall: Fried chicken
Smarter Sandwiches: A 5-ounce piece of fried chicken breast typically has a minimum of 300 calories. Opting for a 4 to 5-ounce piece of grilled or roasted chicken breast will save at least 100 calories.
