UF grad named first black president of Florida Bar

Fifty years after Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, The Florida Bar has sworn in its first African-American president.
Eugene K. Pettis, a University of Florida alumnus, was sworn in June 28 to the third largest bar association in the United States.
Pettis was sworn in as the 65th president of The Florida Bar at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The UF Association of Black Alumni and the Virgil Hawkins Florida Chapter of the National Bar Association hosted a lunch reception and program in Pettis' honor, and the Chestnut Law Firm in Gainesville, UF Alumni Association, and UF Levin College of Law were all local sponsors.
Terry Nealy, president of the UF Association of Black Alumni, said Pettis' mom was the first one who said he should be a lawyer because he talks so much. When Pettis was older, he realized he had the skill set to be a lawyer and wanted to help people, Nealy said.
Nealy said The Florida Bar made Pettis president because he always had a knack for attracting all kinds of people and being in a coalition to get things done.
Among his successes, Pettis was the first black Student Government treasurer at UF, and he was president of the UF Black Student Union.
"We're proud of someone who lived in Gainesville like we did and went to Florida like we did," Nealy said on Wednesday.
Pettis graduated from UF with a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 1982 and a juris doctor from the UF Levin College of Law in 1985.
Nealy said Pettis becoming The Florida Bar president is big for UF.
"It's neat to see someone start at a place like that and do well after leaving the safe confines of The Swamp," Nealy said.
Nealy said Pettis is one of UF's most active and committed alumni. He comes to events, is active in organizations and supports UF events independently and financially.
Pettis is a co-founder of the Haliczer, Pettis & Schwamm law firm in Fort Lauderdale.
Nealy said that while Pettis is leading the third largest bar association in the country, which has over 96,000 members, Pettis hasn't forgotten his roots at UF.
"Even in everything he's doing, he's still making time for the University of Florida," Nealy said.
Nealy also pointed out that 55 years ago the first black student enrolled at UF in 1958.
"The UF Association of Black Alumni has adopted "Gator Nation Celebrating Dreams Fulfilled" as its theme for the year," Nealy said. "We, like many others around the country, are reflecting on Dr. King's legacy but also celebrating UF alumni dreams that have been fulfilled over the past year."
Nealy said that 50 years after Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," Pettis has fulfilled that dream.
Pettis was on vacation and unavailable for comment.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team now has the challenge laid ahead. The Lions released their 2012-13 schedule on Thursday and it features 26 regular season games and two Division I exhibitions in a slate loaded with nationally ranked teams and NCAA Tournament, as well as Sunshine State Conference title contenders.
"We felt it was important as a coaching staff to play as difficult a non-conference schedule as we could put together," Head Coach Lance Randall said of the scheduled competition. "Every one of our opponents is either an NCAA Division I or NCAA Division II team. We have tried to create a schedule that balances rigid early season tests for our players with exciting and entertaining games for our fans."
If a return trip to the NCAA Tournament is in order, the Lions will have to roll through the states of Wisconsin, North Carolina and Virginia before facing the majority of their Sunshine State Conference opponents once the calendar flips to the New Year.
Before all of that, the Lions look at two of the toughest exhibition games for a Division II school as Saint Leo faces both the University of Miami (Fla.) and Florida State University in an extended weekend Atlantic Coast Conference doubleheader.
Randall continued, "I am excited to play such an incredibly difficult exhibition schedule. It is an honor to compete against two excellent programs form the premier basketball conference in the nation. These teams have future NBA players on their rosters, great coaches on the sidelines and post-season experience under their belts. We are very fortunate to get these games for our players and our fans."
Opening exhibition play against Miami on November 2, Saint Leo will travel to the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables and take on a Hurricane squad that is coming off a 20-13 season where they finished tied for fourth in the ACC, one of the toughest basketball conferences in the nation. The Lions will be facing a Miami team that qualified for the NIT under second-year head coach Jim Larranaga.
On the other side of the ACC coin, the Lions travel to Tallahassee on November 5 to face Florida State at the Tucker Center (Leon County Civic Center). Saint Leo's second Division I opponent in four days begins the follow-up campaign to a 2011 ACC Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. Beginning his 11th year, FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton welcomes back four of the top five scorers from the NCAA Tournament team of 2011-12.
The schedule doesn't get any easier once the Green and Gold moves into contests that count toward their win/loss totals as the Lions' home opener on November 9 pits Saint Leo against one of Division II's newest schools, but an NAIA powerhouse in Shorter University. The first time fans can see the Lions on the new Bowman Center hardwood, also sees last year's NAIA Division I top-ranked team attempt to spoil the opener. The newest member of the Gulf South Conference and located in Rome, Ga., Shorter returns all of their top scorers from a team that advanced to the NAIA Final Four only a year ago.
Saint Leo will then face Tuskegee five days later in the teams' second meeting in as many seasons. The Lions won the previous meeting 87-51 back on December 18, 2011 behind a 58 percent shooting effort from the floor in a game lauded by Randall as a 'nice team win.'
"There is little margin for error as we play against the newest in region opponent Shorter. They return the top two scorers and rebounders as well as multiple starters from the team that finished No. 1 in the country and reached the Final Four in NAIA Division I. On Wednesday, we turnaround and face another in-region opponent and perennial NCAA tournament qualifier, Tuskegee."
Heading into the Thanksgiving weekend, the Lions travel to Milwaukee, Wisc. and compete in the Fresh Coast Basketball Classic over November 23-24. Contested at Wisconsin Lutheran College, the Lions are one of four teams to play in the tournament where they face 2011 Fresh Coast Classic Champs Lincoln University on the first day. The second day's opponent depends on the finish of the game against Lincoln, but the Lions will face either Northern Michigan or 2012 NCAA Tournament team and regional power Winston-Salem State.
"This is a great opportunity to play top-notch NCAA Division II teams in what has been traditionally a very good tournament. Winston- Salem State will be one of the best teams in the country. In addition, it provides a chance for our many fans in the Midwest to see their Lions play."
Returning to the Bowman Center the following weekend, Saint Leo welcomes Armstrong Atlantic State, Fort Valley State and Tampa to the four-team, two-day Saint Leo Invitational competed on November 30 and December 1. The Lions will face Armstrong Atlantic State on Friday night with Fort Valley State waiting as their Saturday opponents. Perennially a top team from the Peach Belt Conference, Armstrong Atlantic will visit the Bowman Center for the first time since the 1990-91 season and face the Lions. Following their matchup with the Pirates, Saint Leo will then square off against Fort Valley State from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in an important region game against tough competition.
"This tournament provides an early season SSC tournament feel against great competition, all while negotiating quick scouting turnarounds. I think our fans will love to watch the high powered offensive machine of Armstrong Atlantic, while again Fort Valley State will be another very important in-region contest."
Heading into December the Lions face their first conference competition when Saint Leo hosts Nova Southeastern on December 12 in an SSC opener. In matching up with the team that the Lions dispatched in the first round of last year's SSC Tournament, fans will hopefully see a glimpse of what to expect when Saint Leo continues conference play the following month.
One final long-distance trip awaits Saint Leo as the Lions travel to the Mid-Atlantic States for two games prior to Christmas. Extending their fan base to the Virginia-area centers, Saint Leo first travels to Richmond, Va. where they face Virginia Union University on December 15. Two days later a game with Elizabeth City State awaits Saint Leo in Elizabeth City, NC as the Lions close out 2012 in the northeast corner of the Tar Heel State.
Rolling into 2013 sees the Lions draw the first bye week in the SSC schedule, but Saint Leo makes up for the open date with a January 2 meeting with NCAA independent Palm Beach Atlantic University. After a one-year hiatus from playing each other, the Lions and Sailfish pick up where they left off in 2010-11 when they split the season's series.
Save for another game with PBA on January 30, this time on the road, Saint Leo dives headlong into conference play starting with Lynn on January 5 and follows that with a much-anticipated home game against Florida Southern on January 9. The Lions will face the Moccasins for the first time since Florida Southern snatched the SSC Tournament Championship away from the Green and Gold in the final minute last season.
Randall concluded his thoughts with his attention turned to conference play, "The SSC will be very strong this year as many teams return key players that figured prominent roles last season. I expect this to be a wide open race with little separation in talent between the top of the league and those that will finish near the bottom."
"Teams that learn early how to defend, share the ball and develop that predator instinct required of champions will have the best chance to separate from rest of the pack. We are very much looking forward to the opportunity to compete in this great basketball league."
The annual SSC Tournament, which has changed its format to include all nine teams, is slated to begin on March 6 in Kissimmee, Fla. at the Silver Spurs Arena. Last year, the Lions' incredible run into the NCAA Tournament went through the SSC Tournament Championship Game, a close loss to Florida Southern.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/3/2013 (1607 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It may be difficult to elicit sympathy in some regions of the country for the oil and gas sector when the price of oil falls a little below $100.
But in the increasingly overheated debate about construction of new pipelines, Alberta politicians are talking out loud about how the price gap between Alberta bitumen and West Texas Intermediate is falling and may take some time to get right again if no new pipeline capacity is produced.
The Alberta budget earlier this month announced spending cuts and debt-financing largely blamed on increasing concerns about pipeline capacity.
It was in that hyped-up climate of concern in the oil patch that the Conference Board of Canada embarked on its monthly consumer confidence survey in March.
Nationally, the March index was largely unchanged from the February level, down .04 points to 80.5 (it was 100 in 2002), but in the Prairie region it was down a dramatic 11.9 points to 88.7.
While still much higher than the national level -- after all, Western Canada has been driving economic growth in Canada for some time now -- that is the lowest level in the region since August 2009.
Todd Crawford, an economist with the Conference Board, said the survey that the Ottawa-based think tank has been doing since the early '80s is useful to predict future consumer spending.
"It is a good leading indicator how spending will go forward," he said.
The fact that the Prairie region fell sharply but the national index did not change much this month was because there was a fairly positive response to the survey questions -- about the current and future financial situation, job prospects in six months and the outlook for major purchases -- in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario and B.C.
Crawford said such a significant regional decline as occurred in the Prairies is rare.
"Since the recession -- the end of 2007 into 2008 - we have seen lots more variability in the Canadian and regional index," he said.
And he also cautioned against taking monthly results out of context.
"What we really want to see is what happens next month," he said. "Do those numbers bounce back some? We may be able to chock these numbers up to a slight overreaction to the budget, a little heightened political rhetoric. If it does bounce back, that will give you confidence for sure."
While Manitoba is lumped into the Prairie region, Crawford said: "If we were doing the provinces separately, I would not expect to see Manitoba would have a decline of the magnitude we are seeing in Alberta."
Crawford said the power of the oil economy ripples through the rest of the economy.
If the lack of pipeline capacity means construction of new oilsands plants -- costing $2 billion to $10 billion each -- will be delayed or shelved, Crawford said that will be felt across the country.
Ian Hudson, an economist at the University of Manitoba, downplays the interconnections between the Manitoba and Alberta economies. As well, he suggests it's not wise to put too much stock in consumer-confidence polling.
"Consumer confidence is unbelievably fickle," Hudson said. "It goes up and down like crazy."
That may be, but the development of multibillion-dollar private-sector industrial projects creates an economic growth dynamic that is undeniable. You can argue about what region of the country might benefit most from the spinoff activity, but it will be there somewhere.
Crawford points out the March survey did show something and it's something we all might want to keep our eyes on.
Alberta has boasted higher wages, lower unemployment rates and a fiscal situation that up until very recently was the envy of every province in the country.
"But those things all look a little more shaky now," Crawford said. "The rules of the game have changed regarding what is going on out there."

- 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
- 1 large green or large sweet red pepper
- 8 large mushrooms
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
- 1. Place potatoes and carrots in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
- 2. Cut pork into 12 equal pieces and pepper into eight chunks. Onto four metal or wood skewers, thread meat and vegetables alternately; set aside.
- 3. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, syrup and orange peel; cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted.
- 4. Grill kabobs, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes; turn and baste with butter mixture. Cook for 12-14 minutes longer or until the meat juices run clear, turning and basting frequently. Yield: 4 servings.

"Nice flavor! Next time I'd boil the carrots until crisp-tender before skewering. Our pork was starting to dry out and the carrots were still too crisp for our liking. Or maybe I'll use squash insted of the carrots."

Give Blood on Wednesday and You Could Win a $1,000 Visa Gift Card
As I mentioned in a previous entry, the holiday's provide a double-edged sword for the Southwestern Indiana Chapter of the American Red Cross. On one hand the demand for blood is at one of its highest points of the year, while on the other hand, supply is low as the hustle and bustle of the holiday season prevents people from finding time to donate.
In an effort to increase supply during this critical time of the year, the Red Cross is hosting the "Give Thanks, Give Life" Blood Drive on Wednesday, November 21st from 6am-9pm at their headquarters on the corner of the Lloyd and Stockwell. To participate, simply stop by during those hours and make your donation or setup an appointment in advance by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visiting redcrossblood.org. Everyone who participates will receive a free pie and be in the running to win a $1,000 Visa gift card!
It's win-win for everybody! The Red Cross gets the blood it needs to help save the lives of others, and you get the chance at some extra holiday spending cash. And did I mention "free pie"?!?!
According to a press release from the Red Cross, all blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients, and a blood donor card or driver's license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in in order to donate. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

I first met STYLES OF BEYOND (S.O.B.) in the late '90s, rapping at parties and with friends in the San Fernando Valley, north of L.A. Years later, I featured them on my Fort Minor album, on songs like Remember The Name and Believe Me.
After we wrapped up the touring for FM, the guys were signed to Linkin Park's imprint Machine Shop Records. Above all, I believed in these guys, and I loved the music they made. Shortly thereafter, we began putting the finishing touches on an amazing album, Reseda Beach. Aside from the music they self-produced, we had tracks from J. Dilla and Scoop Deville, and even a super random cameo appearance by Michael Buble (which didn't make album, but was an amazing experiment).
It was a very exciting time–I always felt like the album they put together showcased exactly what set this group apart from other rap collectives:…

Did you know?
Cape Town was originally developed by the Dutch East India Company as a supply station.
You needn't go far to find adventures in Cape Town. Diving, paragliding, abseiling and swimming are just some of the outdoor activities that you can enjoy within 5km of the city centre.
Scuba-dive with sharks – no cage or chumming required – at the Two Oceans Aquarium in the V&A Waterfront. You'll dive among ragged-tooth sharks, turtles and stingrays. A minimum Open Water 1 qualification is required for this adventure, but you can also do a quick Discover Scuba course on the day if you're not qualified. If you have an advanced qualification, you can dive in one of only three kelp forest exhibits in the world – an unbeatable experience. Diving here is not weather dependent and visibility is guaranteed.
Hit any of the city's public swimming pools. Long Street Baths houses original Turkish baths and there is also a 25m-long heated swimming pool. Watch the waves crash as you frolic in the calm waters of the Pavillion public swimming pool in Sea Point. Or go for a more natural setting at the Camps Bay tidal pool.
From the sea to the sky. Head to Lion's Head for a bit of paragliding; awesome views of Cape Town included. This is a weather dependent activity, but the Mother City provides around 200 suitable days a year. Good paragliding conditions are characterised by a 0-30km/h wind that blows up-slope with a tolerance of 15 degrees. A number of operators offer tandem paragliding from Lion's Head, but Para-Taxi in particular are known for environmentally responsible practices and for making the sport accessible to the physically challenged.
Since you're pretty much there anyway, head up Table Mountain via the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway and then abseil down. Abseil Africa operates from the summit of Cape Town's most famous landmark. Step off from 1 000m above sea level and rappel into pure vertical space from one of the highest commercial abseiling spots in the world.

Virgin and Child
about 1325
Simone Martini, Italian, about 1280-1344
Tempera and gold on wood, 28.4 x 20.1 cm
Genre: European Art, Paintings
Location: Gothic Room
Accession Number: P30w8
Under the Virgin and Child are five small arches with figures. These are, from the left, a crowned female saint holding a cross, Saint Paul, Saint Dominic, a male saint, and a kneeling nun. This last figure, presented in a different scale, is the donor of the painting. This is one of the earliest surviving examples of a small, independent panel containing a predella. The original engaged frame shows that the painting is a complete devotional image, not part of a larger ensemble.
For nearly its entire known history, this unusually refined panel has been considered a typical work of Simone Martini's brother-in-law and sometime collaborator, Lippo Memmi (act. 1317–1357). Distinguishing between the hands of Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi in their collaborative and imitative efforts has long been and remains one of the most contentious topics in the study of early Italian paintings. Miklós Boskovits has suggested that two paintings universally attributed to Lippo Memmi (this panel and a related image in Kansas City) actually share all the features of conception and handling that he individuated in the personality of Simone Martini. Not only do these two panels share the refinement of execution typical of Simone Martini's best work, but also their figure types are directly related to those in Simone's mature altarpieces and not to any of Lippo Memmi's more solid, carefully drawn examples.
Source: Laurence Kanter, "Virgin and Child," in Eye of the Beholder, edited by Alan Chong et al. (Boston: ISGM and Beacon Press, 2003): 43.
Purchased (as Lippo Memmi) in 1897 from the dealer Stefano Bardini, Florence.

Papaya Guacamole
I know this is a really tiny recipe from Meeta's beautiful blog, What's for Lunch, Honey? but when Zlamushka announced that it was Meeta's blog being featured in the Tried & Tasted event, I couldn't wait any longer. This guacamole is one of the very first recipes I bookmarked when I started to blog hop. Its simple and delicious, and very healthy!
I made small changes, but it still tasted fabulous!
Papaya Guacamole
(original recipe here)
1 1/2 cups Papaya, cubed and slightly mashed with a fork
1/2 tsp Mustard (I used French Mustard)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Pepper
1 Red Chilli, minced
1 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
Mix all the above ingredients together. I served it with wholewheat crackers. It was delicious. We ended up eating the guacamole on its own long after the crackers were over! Thanks, Meeta - this recipe is a keeper.

LEIPSIC — Twelve words in House Bill
483 means a 'devastating set back" for the possibility of the
development of a wind farm near Leipsic.
This was the message Jim O'Conner,
developer with Iberdrola Renewables, brought to the Putnam County
Commissioners on Thursday. O'Connor said Gov. Kasich's approval of
the bill has a huge impact in whether Iberdrola will move forward
with the project.
has contracts with 200 landowners to meet the former requirements
needed to put in 45 wind turbines, each producing 3.3 megawatts for a
total project capacity of 150 megawatts.
requirements were changed for wind turbines in House Bill 483. The
former set backs required 1,250 feet plus the length of the blade
from the nearest inhabited residence. The new rulings make the
setbacks 1,250 feet from the nearest property lines.
said this will mean having to acquire set-back waivers from 50
percent more properties.
is currently considering if it is viable for them to move forward,"
O'Connor said.
John Kasich signed House Bill 483 on June 16, just days after signing
another bill that freezes and alters Ohio's renewable energy and energy efficiency standards

Because I couldn't find a clear overview of which properties are
availabe in maven2 I started this page. It is a collection of things
found in the offcial maven documentation and postings to the maven user
mailing list.
Note: In Maven 3.0, all pom.* properties are deprecated. Use project.* instead!
Build in properties
- ${basedir} represents the directory containing pom.xml
- ${version} equivalent to ${project.version} or ${pom.version}
Pom/Project properties
All elements in the pom.xml, can be referenced with the project. prefix or using pom. as prefix. This list is just an example of some commonly used elements.
- ${project.build.directory} results in the path to your "target" dir, this is the same as ${pom.project.build.directory}
- ${project.build.outputDirectory} results in the path to your "target/classes" dir
- ${project.name} or ${pom.name} refers to the name of the project.
- ${project.version} or ${pom.version} refers to the version of the project.
- ${project.build.finalName} refers to the final name of the file created when the built project is packaged
Local user settings
Similarly, values in the user's settings.xml can be referenced using property names with settings. prefix.
- ${settings.localRepository} refers to the path of the user's local repository.
- ${maven.repo.local} also works for backward compatibility with maven1 ??
Environment variables
Environment variables can be referenced using the env prefix
- ${env.M2_HOME} returns the Maven2 installation path.
- ${java.home} specifies the path to the current JRE_HOME environment use with relative paths to get for example:
Java system properties
All Java System Properties defined by the JVM.
Custom properties in the POM
User defined properties in the pom.xml.
<project>

...

<properties>

<my.filter.value>hello</my.filter.value>

</properties>

...

</project>

- ${my.filter.value} will result in hello if you inserted the above XML fragment in your pom.xml
Parent Project variables
How can parent project variables be accessed?
You can use the prefix: ${project.parent}.
A good way to determine possible variables is to have a look
directly at the API. I'm currently using Maven 2.2.1, and to access the
Parent you can use ${project.parent}. This will return an org.apache.maven.project.MavenProject instance.
To access the parent version: ${parent.version}.
Reflection Properties
The pattern ${someX.someY.someZ} can simply sometimes mean getSomeX().getSomeY().getSomeZ(). Thus, properties such as ${project.build.directory} is translated to getProject().getBuild().getDirectory().

j85 - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkMost mainstream users will probably use the stock browser, but probably not most Anandtech readers. So, why are you not testing with Chrome? If you did we'd be able to compare the performance against our own current devices. Reply
ratte - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkBecause they don't have a review unit ? Reply
MantasPakenas - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkIf they can watch youtube and install GL Benchmark and Linpack, they can install Chrome just the same. Plus, they don't run benchmarks on Chrome even on review units. This is simply unacceptable, especially without any reaction to probably the most requested benchmark improvement... Reply
ssj4Gogeta - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - link+1 for testing with Chrome.
@j85: I wonder how fast Lt. Commander Data would run SunSpider :P Reply
tuxRoller - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkChrome would be great but I'd also like to see Firefox.
Also, consider adding the v8 and kraken benchmarks. You complain about how old the sunspider benchmark is but then neglect to run modern ones.
I'd be especially curious to see how the new iphone does with the newer browser tests. Reply
I also recommend testing with Chrome on iOS. You know, for fairness., and totally not because Apple's anti-competitive lockout of JIT for non-stock browsers would cause scores to tank. Reply
powerarmour - Friday, September 21, 2012 - linkI agree, using the Chrome browser would be a much fairer test. Reply
powerarmour - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkShame there are a few phones on that list that haven't been updated with their Jellybean stock browser scores, namely the Nexus devices.
Galaxy Nexus gets 122k on Browsermark and ~1500 on Sunspider now :) Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkFor a lot of phones it's probably that the review units were returned/resold. Retesting for new OS versions is only possible if someone at AT still has one. Reply
Azurael - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkDamn, they beat the One X running HTC 2.17/Android 4.0.4. 1475.4ms... Still, we've got 4.1 to come yet :) Reply
shadeh - Sunday, September 23, 2012 - linkDon't worry ! I've already tried a htc test rom on jelly bean. The stock browser scored a whooping 1196.x ms.. The browser has really improved. It would be my stock rom, but sadly (as far as i'm informed) radio is currently not working due to older hboot.
Can't wait to see another leak. Reply
toyotabedzrock - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkWhat about Chrome performance and an upgrade to 4.1? Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkWhile they're(LG) working on optimizing the software, they can also put some efforts on efficiency.
I think Android is more than powerful enough with a lot of neat features, I think we should focus on battery life and efficiency now. Reply
snoozemode - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkSeems to me that Q-slide is the answer to multitasking on small screen devices. Reply
aryonoco - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkI concur, most tech savvy people will not be using the stock browser so testing on other browsers that are more in popular use makes more sense. Pretty much everyone prefers Chrome so why not test on that?
Besides, what are you exactly trying to test, the latest software optimisations or the SoC? If the latter, then using a third party browser that's not modified by manufacturers and actually is the same browser on different devices would make a lot more sense than the OEM-modified one.
Also, please give Firefox a new chance and perhaps include its scores as well. I find recent versions of FF (after FF15) to be a very capable browser on Android which actually gives Chrome a good run for its money. Reply
owned66 - Friday, September 21, 2012 - linkit should be two times faster than the S3 !!
i guess we need to wait for cyanogenMod devs to take advantage of it Reply
kyuu - Friday, September 21, 2012 - linkI'm not sure why people are expecting to see a linear improvement going from 2 cores to 4. Twice as many cores does not equal twice the performance in any real-life scenario. Cyanogen mods are not going to be able to change that (though they could improve the threading somewhat, possibly).
Or am I misunderstanding? Reply
1008anan - Saturday, September 22, 2012 - linkI learnt something about Java script performance.
When do you think we get something like Q-slide inside the US? Do you think Google will add a similar feature to future Android Operating Systems? How can we download an application or feature like this to our existing Android phones? Reply

THE bill for consultancy work and legal fees run up by the county council during the fight to build a controversial incinerator in Worcestershire reached nearly £900,000, it has been revealed.
The costs during the run-up to the £165 million rubbish burner being given the go-ahead went 20 times over budget.
Work has now started on the incinerator, which is due to open in Hartlebury in 2017.
But new figures show the council's budget spiralled 2,000 per cent off course, revealing:
* In 2013/14, £22,950 was set aside for legal fees on the council's Private Finance Initiative (PFI), but it spiralled to £314,486.
* The council budgeted to spend just £19,489 on consultants' advice, but the bill rose to a staggering £556,715.
It means despite budgeting to spend around £42,000 in both areas last year, the end cost ran to a whopping £870,000.
The waste plant, which will burn 20,000 of tonnes of rubbish a year, was approved by Worcestershire County Council in January.
The new findings have been labelled "absolutely unbelievable" by campaigners, who say a fresh investigation is needed into why the costs were so high.
The data is contained in the council's 2013/14 accounts, which are made available for public inspection for a limited period each summer.
The council's Conservative leadership has long argued that one of the key arguments in favour of building the plant is value-for-money.
Rob Wilden, from Herefordshire and Worcestershire Action Group (HWAG), which has been protesting against the facility, said: "This is completely off the Richter scale.
"You couldn't run a business like this, but for some reason the council thinks it's OK to throw money around and overspend by 20 times its own budget.
"We knew the total costs of the waste PFI contract were going to be utterly horrendous but I find this absolutely unbelievable."
Rubbish from the plant will be collected from across Worcestershire and Herefordshire, burning it to generate electricity for the National Grid.
The site will be run by West Mercia Waste Management under the PFI deal, but will be handed back to Worcestershire and Herefordshire councils to operate from 2023.
When it approved it back in January, the council said existing landfill sites are dangerously close to being full and on current trends will be filled by 2024.
The council also claims carrying on using landfill would have seen the cost of dealing with the county's waste spiral to £2.1 billion by 2042, while the cost with the incinerator will be £1.6 billion.
Cllr Anthony Blagg, cabinet member for the environment, said the reason for the high figure was because in May this year the council agreed "significant" changes to the contract signed back in 1998 to finally develop the plant.
He said: "The additional expenditure of approximately £870,000 relates to the gross costs the councils' incurred from engaging technical, legal and financial consultants during the financial year to specifically support us in negotiations of the contract variation.
It was fully met by council's reserves that had been set aside in previous years to fund these costs."

Connection Issues (ISP Troubles).
Ello :)
I've been having trouble with my ISP recently, when my router connects to the service, the speed I recieve seems rather random.
I usually recieve 8mbps (supposed to be 17 but that's another issue, heh), but if I reset my router (or it goes off in a powercut) nine out of ten times I recieve 2-4mbps, that will fluctuate each connection, until I finally get back a regular 8mbps (usually, after spending an hour attempting this today, I gave up).
Before I hurl myself at their abusive, contradictive, missunderstanding customer service department (three hours last time I had an issue with no solution, I'm not a fan of theirs, hehe), I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light on what could be causing the issues?
I'm guessing its their end (been having the issues since the company was taken over), I'm using a wired connection, no additional programs running in the backround, no other devices connected. Hopefully if its not something I can fix myself, the knowledge will allow me to get to a swift conclusion with them directly.
Thank you very much for your time.
(Also, completely unrelated, but I imagine anyone that can help with the above may know the answer, are devices using the same connection given their own IP addresses (or online identity of some other form), or is it purely based on the router? Cheers!)Virtual Organ Doner - "It's better to gib, than to receive."
.: Steam :: Screenshots :: Steam Beautiful Screenshots Group :.
I can't really answer your first question without knowing the connection type. I'm assuming it's some sort of DSL connection which uses copper phone lines. In that case speed fluctuations could be due to any number of issues, like a noisy line, physical damage, or other devices on the same line causing interference. If it is a DSL connection the first thing to do is to disconnect everything but the modem and see if the connection exhibits the same problems. If it's fixed, something you've unplugged is causing the problem. If it isn't, then the modem, the line itself, or something else may be at fault.
If it isn't a DSL connection... can't help you because I can't guess :)
As for your second question - devices using the same connection do not get a separate internet IP address. The router gets an internet IP and is responsible for forwarding all traffic, which is why port forwarding is important; without it, the traffic goes to the router (the gateway between your internal network and the outside world) and if it doesn't know what to do with it, it effectively goes nowhere (well, it doesn't reach the intended destination at least). Each device on your home network gets its internal IP from the router but they all effectively "share" the IP address your ISP assigns to you.
Thank you for the reply soldant, I am indeed using an ADSL connection. The only device connected is my router (have a seperate phone line just for net access) and according to the phone line provider the line is clear of noise (can't say the same for damage, that seems to be one of the issues behind why I don't get the speed I should in the first place, proximity to a collection of damp most likely isn't helping).
The weird thing is, the speed change only happens on a new connection. If I get a decent connection, it will remain steady and uninterupted until the router is turned off and back on again.
That's certainly been helpful though, if only I could get someone to physically check the line, hehe (maybe when they install fiberoptic I'll get lucky).
With the second question, thanks ever so much - was just a personal question of mine rather than a problem, good to get a grasp on how it works.
Thank you again :)

From having dealt with ADSL issues at home before, I believe the speed is only determined upon initial connection - the noise level is checked and the speed set to a level where it won't be adversely affected by the noise. If they claim there is no noise, they're lying - it's impossible to have no noise on a line! Your router should have a page where it lists things like Signal to Noise ratio (SNR), but I don't know enough about that to tell you what numbers to expect.

I've had similar issues with ADSL. One time the issue was solved by the ISP (or maybe by the local utility who owns the infrastructure) making a repair on their side with no intervention from me. Another time they sent a tech to my apartment who verified that the noise on the line was unacceptably high and traced the issue to the connection between the central office and the local hub (or something like that).
I might recommend that you verify you have line filters on all the phone jacks on that line. If you use any splitters (to plug two phones into a single line, for example) make sure the phone filter is between the wall and the splitter. The phone filter must always be directly plugged into the wall and not further along the line.
As for IP addresses, every device is given its own unique IP. Your ISP is only aware of your router and doesn't know how many PCs are connected to it. Your router uses network address translation ("NAT") to assign internal IP addresses to your home computers (192.168.x.y) and acts as an intermediary between your home network and your ISP.
Your ISP essentially rents you an IP address. That address is assigned to your router via your modem. Your router identifies itself with a unique number called a Media Access Control number ("MAC") which your ISP associates with your router. So as far as your ISP is aware you have one IP address connected to one device. Unless they're doing something sneaky and fancy.
Time of day could also be another factor, as you will get a higher contention ratio hit on your bandwidth during peak times that will usually trail off during the later evening.
Knowing your area and ISP may help a bit, my brother's ADSL connection is very iffy, he only gets a fifth of my download rate at the best of time and sometimes it drops off completely, this is due to him living in the sticks and being a long way from the switchboard. I imagine if you get an 8meg connection then this is not your case, but the wiring in your house will probably make a difference, should you have original 1930's phone lines, or live in a poorly maintained tower block don't expect it to hit max speed.
Try reseting your router at 5am or some time no-one will be on, does it make a difference?
Once again, thanks everyone for takin the time to help and inform me, learned a lot.
I've managed to locate the SNR readings on my router so I'll be sure to keep an eye on that when my connection takes a dive. I use a filter for my connection (its also the only device plugged in at all, I don't use my landline for calls), but I'll see if I have a spare around the house, I'll give it a try incase this one is faulty.
As far as I've noticed, time doesn't seem to make any difference, whether its 3am, 8am, 4pm or 8pm...things seem very random, even in the space of a single minute.
At the very least, knowing the issues that could be behind this has made it a loss less infuriating and has given me a very solid ground to follow things up with the ISP and phone line provider to double check everything is in order.
Thanks everyone, if only their customer service was as helpful and insightful as you all are, hehe.Virtual Organ Doner - "It's better to gib, than to receive."

Hmm, the cable going from the router to the phone socket is filtered (PC wired to router, router wired to filter, filter stuck in the phone socket).

Out of interest have you tried using the test socket? And by that I mean when you take the face plate off the phone socket there is another phone socket inside. They usually ask you to try it when you phone them so may be worth getting it out of the way.
One thing soldant mentioned which I'm not sure you fully picked up on was turning everything off in the area - that means all electrical items (unplug them as well as some still draw power). Badly shielded electrics are notorious for interfering with broadband. Its why more peeps get speed issues at christmas due to the shoddy christmas lights they drape everywhere.

Southerners can take just about any vegetable and improve upon it. We've been known to deep fry squash and call it a fritter, or toss sugar and eggs into sweet potatoes and call it a pudding. Take sweet summer corn for instance. We'll cream it, can it or casserole it — you name it, we've made it.
It's not because we don't like our vegetables, either. There is truly nothing finer than fresh summer corn picked up from a weathered old farmer's roadside stand, resting assured that it was plucked from his field mere hours before. Whether shaved raw into a salad or eaten straight from the cob, it just doesn't get much better than that. But after a few weeks of this kind of bountiful eating — and many more months on the horizon — folks have to start mixing things up a bit. It only takes one too many tomato salads to get us doing what we do best. (Some people may say worst, but hey, what can you do?) After a long Southern harvest, heavy cream and butter start making that surplus of veggies in the garden look pretty darn enticing.
This sweet corn custard is a pretty good example of us gilding the lily. While you typically find this type of dish on a Thanksgiving table, I enjoy it far more in the summertime, when corn is still ripe for the picking. This fairly traditional recipe is disguised under a plethora of names and countless variations; look in any old community cookbook and you're guaranteed to find someone's Aunt Muffy's famous corn pudding, souffle or casserole. I chose to call mine a custard, because I feel that accurately reflects the flavor and texture I was going for: sweet yellow corn (made ever so sweeter with a hint of sugar) blanketed in a silky wrap of eggs and cream, finished with salty-smoky bacon crumbles to cut through the richness of it all.
It's good. So good in fact, that it shouldn't be just for Southerners to enjoy.
Individual Sweet Corn Custards
Active time: 10 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Yields: 8 individual custards
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs plus one yolk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen sweet yellow corn (thawed if frozen)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Bacon crumbles and snipped chives, for garnish
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat 8 individual souffle dishes or ramekins (mine are 4-3/4 ounces each) with butter or cooking spray and arrange on a sheet pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer), add the sugar and eggs and beat until light and frothy, approximately 3 minutes. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and beat for an additional 3 minutes, until the mixture is airy and foamy. Fold in the heavy cream and milk until combined.
Stir the corn and melted butter together and divide evenly among the ramekins. Pour the batter over the corn mixture, filling each dish almost to the top. Bake the custards for approximately 60 – 70 minutes, rotating the pan once, until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Remove the ramekins to a wire rack and cool for at least 15 – 20 minutes before serving, to allow custard to firm up. Garnish each dish with bacon crumbles and snipped chives.

Is Your Credit Score Accurate?
Do you have an accurate credit report?
Keeping an accurate credit report should be one of your first financial responsibilities. A credit report is something that should be checked at least on a yearly basis. It becomes incredibly important because you never know when there will be a discrepancy in your reports. The most common problem that people face with their credit report is identity theft. When you're ordering your credit report, always make sure that you order data from all three major credit reporting bureaus.
The biggest reason that you need to get separate copies of your credit reports is that each agency gives a different report. Each and every creditor has their own way of reporting. This could also mean that some creditors might report to just one agency, while others report to all three credit bureaus. There are also creditors that will report to all three agencies depending on what type of debt you have. History is usually shared across all three agencies when you have taken credit like a mortgage.
The first question that comes to mind when you're checking your credit score is, "What to do if there is a mistake?" on your credit report. Mistakes usually result in your FICO score or credit score being calculated at a much lower rate than it actually should have been. The next question is what can you do to correct a mistake on your credit report. If a mistake goes unchecked and your credit score is lower than where it should have been, you'll end up paying a much higher interest rates on new accounts like any new mortgages and loans than you would if your credit report was error free.
More often than not, you can correct a mistake on your credit report easily online by filling out a short form at the bureaus website. You should dispute a mistake on your credit report right away as soon as you notice it, no matter how small it might appear to be. Remember the saying "A stitch in time saves nine?". For some kind of errors, you cannot fill out a form and you will have to write to the credit reporting bureau to request them to fix a mistake and make your credit report accurate.
It is up to you to be vigilant and check your credit report more often than not. Since credit bureaus often take up a lax responsibility when it comes to correctly reporting information on a credit report you need to take it upon yourself to make sure that the information on your report is correct. Being vigilant in making sure that you have no errors and your credit report each year if not more frequently will help to make sure that you have an error free credit report which will help keep your credit score accurate.

The protests in the southern Chinese village of Wukan, which has now established its own administration outside the control of Guangdong province, cap an extraordinary year of street protests from the Middle East to Wall Street.
It is worth watching this FT video filmed inside Wukan by Ben Marino, with commentary by Jamil Anderlini, our Beijing bureau chief. It features villagers speaking openly of their defiance of the local and regional Communist Party structure and calling for Beijing to step in.
It reminds me of my visit to Guangdong this autumn, talking to migrant workers who come to the Pearl River Delta to find relatively high-paying jobs. Although they are far better off than their parents, they also see others profiting – sometimes illicitly – from special treatment. Read more

Those planning on celebrating outdoors over the Australia Day long weekend might need to make alternative plans, according to the Bureau of Meteorology's Magda Galos-Lorenc.
The Canberra forecaster said Saturday afternoon would bring widespread rainfall to the capital, which would increase on Sunday.
"It looks like Sunday will probably be the worst for precipitation," Ms Galos-Lorenc said.
A low-pressure trough moving in from the south-west is forecast to bring up to 20mm of rain to the ACT over the weekend, with more rain likely to come on Monday and Tuesday.
While the wet might put a dampener on some long weekend party plans, it will come as a welcome relief to keen gardeners in the capital after a month of hot, dry conditions. So far at Canberra Airport there has been only 10.2 millimetres of rain in January - compared with the monthly mean of 58.5 millimetres.
The relative dry after two wet summers has prompted Territory and Municipal Services Minister Shane Rattenbury to issue a call for help to the community, asking for volunteers to help water recently planted trees and shrubs along the Molonglo River below Scrivener Dam.
"The hot weather Canberra has been experiencing means trees and shrubs in the Scrivener Dam area are in need of a drink," Mr Rattenbury said.
Volunteers will be asked to help cart buckets of water from the river to water more than 4500 trees on February 3, work that Mr Rattenbury describes as "labour intensive".
"We need as many hands on deck as possible, as we will be filling buckets from the river and transferring this water to the plants, which is not an easy job," Mr Rattenbury said.
"Everyone who participates will leave knowing that they have done something good for the environment and their community by ensuring the grasses, trees and shrubs in the area can continue to thrive."
A spokeswoman for Mr Rattenbury said the event would be cancelled should there be significant rainfall. Volunteers hoping to participate should register by email.
Over at the National Arboretum Canberra, which is due to officially open next week, horticultural manager Adam Burgess said the hot weather, while uncomfortable, was a chance to see the many tree species strut their stuff.
"We've had all the seasons, we've been through horrible droughts, the flooding, extreme cold last year, and now we've got these heatwaves, so a lot of the trees are defoliating and thinning out," he said.
"Personally I see that as a healthy response, because the trees are actually realising that conditions are quite ordinary, and we're going to start thinning out to use the appropriate amount of water."
He said that apart from the aesthetics of thinning trees, he didn't see the heat, or any other extreme weather, as a problem for the arboretum.
"Everyone's going to have an opinion and be worried, but I'm glad if people are worried because it means they're caring," he said.
"I kind of do expect at this time of year for it to be quite tired and worn out, and as the forests mature, every year it's going to improve. Eventually each forest is going to change the microclimates incredibly.
"It's real data for Canberra, because we really do get a lot of seasonal changes."
The Arboretum is due to open on Friday, February 1 at dawn.

Happy National Cheese Ball Day! The appetizer kind of cheese ball, not the fast-talking used car salesman with slicked-back hair and a leather blazer kind of cheese ball. Today is a special day just for celebrating the crowd-pleasing spreadable snack that you can customize with just about any flavor, and mold into just about any shape. (Don't believe me? Check out this Cheese Ball Snowman, and this Cheesy Christmas Tree.)
Since everyone loves cheese and everyone loves adorable little spring chickies, turn your cheese into a chick, for National Cheese Ball Day, Easter, or really, any day you want a charming little snack.
All you have to do is make a standard cheese ball, shape it into a little chick, roll it in some shredded cheese, give it a beak, some eyes and feet and serve.
Cheese Ball
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (preferably orange), shredded, plus additional for rolling
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
Coarse salt and white pepper, to taste
Put all ingredients into the bowl of a mixer, and blend thoroughly. Form into an egg-like chick shape, and refrigerate until firm, about an hour. Before serving, roll the cheese ball in shredded cheese (this will look like feathers). Use a whole almond for the chick's beak, raisins for eyes and slivers of carrot or orange peppers for the feet. Serve with crackers or crudites.
The results are at once delightful and delicious; don't expect the little guy to last very long.
How are you celebrating this important national holiday, Cheese Ball Day 2011?

While watching Nicholas Zakas' Maintainable JavaScript talk at the Fluent 2012 conference, there was a very informative section in there about keeping JavaScript separate from the HTML, and other similar concerns of separation.
You can see it from the 25:40 section of the video.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for posting the link to that talk. I was reminded of a lot of things that I should be doing more often
I do however have one question:
At 27:02 in the video, he tells us to "Keep your HTML out of JavaScript", citing the reason that if there is something wrong with the layout, you shouldn't have to find the problem in a JS file.
E.g. this is bad:
var element = document.getElementById("container");
element.innerHTML = "

"
By way of a solution he proposes using some form of template (e.g. [Moustache or [URL="http://handlebarsjs.com/"]Handlebars](http://mustache.github.io/)), or pulling back markup from the server and injecting it into the page.
So far, so good, right?
Well, the other day I saw you post this code, with which you can generate random numbers for a lottery.I noticed that if you pick nine or more numbers, the numbers overflow their container. So, I thought I'd change the markup and make the box expand to fit the numbers.As you might already guess, I couldn't find the markup in the HTML section of the fiddle, but instead found it buried deep in the JS. I had a quick play with it, but soon gave up owing to the confusing nature of the escaped backslashes, the inline CSS and the string concatenation.
container.innerHTML = '
' + '<input type="button" id="play' + idx + '"' + 'value="' + buttonText + '" style="margin:5px">' + '
' + initialText + '<\\/div><\\/div>';
I know this code was only intended to demonstrate a specific functionality, but this got me to wondering, how we might apply what Nicholas Zakas tells us in his talk.
I would be interested in your thoughts on this.
Removing the CSS from the JavaScript that's intended to be HTML, would be a good first step to things.Then, the remaining HTML could be placed in to the web page as hidden content, or in to a template file of some kind for later use.
How do you feel about refactoring that code, as an example of how to apply such better practices?
Ok, I've done this: http://jsfiddle.net/hibbard_eu/8R42e/As you can see, I've created a template div element, which I've hidden using CSS.I can then clone this with JS and manipulate it as required before inserting it into the page.The code could probably do with some refactoring, but does this seem like a good start?
I've also used classes for the styling, as the dynamically generated elements are assigned varying ids, e.g.
container.innerHTML = '<div id="container' + idx + ...
Here's an interesting trick that gets used far less often than it should.

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot archive > Kingsley Shacklebolt- Head of Auror Office?
Margiechocoholic 09:28, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Wasn't Kingsley Shacklebolt head of the Auror Office in the Ministry for Magic in the 5th (or possibly 4th) book? Or was he just mentioned as being an Auror? Because I remember reading something about him giving a false lead as to Sirius Black's whereabouts...
I dont know but what i do know is that Harry Potter became head of the auror office when he left school at 17
Yours In Harry Potter Wiki
--Hogwarts09 11:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- Rufus Scrimgeour was head of the Auror office until he was made Minister for Magic. Harry didn't become head of the department until 2007. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 11:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Shacklebolt was only a auror until he got named Minister as a filler-in after the fall of the Dark Lord. In the 5th one he gives Scrimgeour false leads of Sirius being in Tibet so that they seem to be actually looking for SiriusJcabr003 13:29, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- It has never been reveiled who took over as Head of the Auror office when Scrimgeour was promoted to Minister for Magic, but as there was a wizarding war taking place it's likely the position was left open as there would have been no time for formal interviews. When Lord Voldermort and his Death Eaters took over the Ministry of Magic it is unlikely that they would have done much with the Auror office, why promote someone to be the head of a department of dark wizard catchers when you are the dark wizards? Darth Jadious 13:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
They actually do say who took over Scrimgeour's position. When he goes to visit Harry at the Burrow during Christmas in the 6th book he offers to setup a appointment with Gawain Robards because he is the new Head of the Auror office 22.214.171.124

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The Tropicana casino on the Las Vegas Strip is reopening its troubled mob attraction nearly a year after it first opened.
The Mob Attraction Las Vegas will open under its new name March 1.
The reopening comes after city officials opened an unrelated mob museum on Valentine's Day.
Other minor changes include reduced admission prices and a new bar to booze up patrons as they explore the interactive exhibit.
The attraction opened as the Las Vegas Mob Experience about a year ago, but was plagued with financial problems, including complaints from investors and subcontractors who said they were never paid for their work. The bulk of the attraction was closed in September to save money.
A bankruptcy judge approved the attraction's reorganization and sale last month to investor John Vipulis.
