If you are editing older XDP forms from LiveCycle Designer 7.1, or 8, in Designer ES2, and you have hidden rectangle objects in the form design, you may notice that when selecting these hidden objects in the hierarchy, visible corners suddenly appear on these objects. These hidden rectangle objects are created automatically when importing Word documents into Designer to create a form.
The problem is caused by the import from doc/PDF where the edge property for the rectangle is created and set to hidden, but no corners property is created. When you create a new form in Designer (without importing), the edge and corner properties for a rectangle are always created together and the presence for both usually kept in synch.
It seems that when Designer finds a rectangle without a corner property it creates it automatically with visible corners.
Rectangle in XML after import from word:
<edge thickness="0pt" presence="hidden"/>
Rectangle in XML after selecting it on canvas:
<edge thickness="0pt" presence="hidden"/>
<corner radius="5.08mm"/>
Rectangle in XML after manually fixing it in Designer (XML Source or Object Palette):
<edge thickness="0pt" presence="hidden"/>
<corner radius="5.08mm" presence="hidden"/>
You can change the line style to "solid" and back to "none", and then the corners property in XML is synchronized (presence=hidden) with the line edge property as expected.
This is an issue in LiveCycle Designer ES2 and will be fixed in Designer 10 and later versions. If you require a quickfix for Designer 9 you should contact the enterprise support team.
The logic has now been changed, so that when Designer creates the corner property, it checks if the relevant edge is hidden, and sets the presence for the corners to match.

I stared across the chessboard at my opponent, her dark, cold eyes promising no mercy. Her businesslike manner indicated that I was just another obstacle to be quickly dispatched.
I was face to face with an 8-year-old girl in a pink Snoopy T-shirt that read "Cupcakes forever."
Most Popular
It was a muggy summer night on Long Island, and 50 people were hunched over chess games in the basement of the First Presbyterian Church in Mineola. The silence was occasionally broken by an aggressive "Shhhhh!" that was much louder than the quiet talking that had prompted it.
I had stepped into the world of competitive chess, and I blamed my friend Kenny Popkin of Merrick. We're avid poker players, but the closing of U.S. online poker websites two years ago left a void. Kenny decided to join his teenage sons in the world of chess, and now he was dragging me in, too.
It didn't take much prodding. As boys, my brother and I followed the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world title match in 1972. Every move was posted on a chess board on TV and endlessly discussed like a D-Day plan of attack. We were captivated.
Today, even very young kids hone their chess skills through computer apps, increasing my risk of running into a future Fischer or Spassky.
"If you are thinking about the age of your opponent, you are in trouble," cautions Harold Stenzel, who runs the Nassau Chess Club in the church basement. "You need to focus on making the best move you can."
Easy for him to say. Many of my opponents aren't tall enough to ride Space Mountain.
I struggled in my early matches, losing all of them to young children. One of them, another 8-year-old I call "Killer Kate," said she preferred playing adults instead of kids her own age.
"They don't know much stuff," she said of the grown-ups.
Discouraged and wondering if I would ever beat any of these kids, I entered the Manhattan Open at a hotel in the city, where I would play five matches over two days. I was assigned to a low-rated division and found myself in a room where kids easily outnumbered adults. I felt more than a little uncomfortable, like the only adult at the kids' table at Thanksgiving dinner. Sure enough, my first opponent was a 7-year-old girl in a beautiful white dress. She easily defeated me and then ran off, as if late for her first Communion.
In my next match, I found myself staring at a 9-year-old boy. Dazed, I vowed to stay positive, and somehow I won. As we shook hands and I prepared to exult in the joy of victory, the boy started to cry.
His tears brought my joy to an abrupt halt. I have two children of my own, so the switch to parent mode was automatic. "It's OK," I reassured him. "I just got lucky."
I returned to my Long Island club game with much more confidence. Facing an 8-year-old who had crushed me a month earlier, I found myself with a difficult late-game decision that might mean an upset victory for me.
"I feel like I have to capture your piece," I hesitantly said to my diminutive opponent, remembering the tears of the one and only person I had defeated. I claimed his rook.
"It's OK," he replied. "I have a combination move. Checkmate."
Reader Ken Young ofPlainview is competing this weekend in the Long Island Open chess tournament in Ronkonkoma.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 6th, 2011
Surat al-Hajj, 11
"Among the people there is one who worships Allah right on the edge."He prays and recites the names of Allah at night. Melon and rice are lawful and he eats them, and all that is fine. But what about the intellectual struggle on Allah's path? "We are only human," he says. "We can only do so much." What about dedicating himself to Allah? "I am the worst of all of us, so what can I do?" he asks. What does Allah say? "Among the people there is one who worships Allah right on the edge." He performs those observances that suit him. But he does not embark on those he thinks will create material problems for him or that might involve some social risk. Or things he will not enjoy.

A BMW driver who drove the wrong way across Kingston's one-way system, hit three pedestrians and crashed into a double-decker bus last summer has been disqualified from driving.
Shibo Li, 49, runs Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Fife Road and lives in Melrose Avenue, Wimbledon.
He admitted driving without due care and attention when he appeared at Lavender Hill Magstrates' Court in December, the Metropolitan Police said today.
Li, 49, pictured left.
After the crash outside Kingston train station a woman was airlifted from Cromwell Road bus station with severe leg injuries.
Two other pedestrians were taken to Kingston Hospital – one of them a war refugee from Syria.
Li originally blamed a cyclist who he said had spooked him after a collision in Fife Road.
The cyclist sustained an injury after going across the car's bonnet, according to court papers.
Li said the day after the crash last July: "I was panicked and lost control of the car.
"He started shouting and caused my panic.
"It happened really quickly and I didn't have any time to think about it. I was shocked and shaking.
"I think people cycling, they need to pay due attention. There are too many bicycle people on the road."
Magistrates disqualified Li from driving for six months and fined him £300 after his appearance on December 10.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/4/2013 (1583 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
REGINA -- Let's get the obvious Canadian music pun out of the way right now: Everything is working for The Weeknd.
Toronto vocalist Abel Tesfaye, who records and performs trippy R&B under the name The Weeknd, won two pieces of hardware at the non-televised component of the 2013 Juno Awards, which are being held this weekend in the Saskatchewan capital.
The Weeknd was named Canada's breakthrough artist of the year and also won the R&B/soul recording Juno for Trilogy, a compilation of songs from three previous independent mixed tapes. Tesfaye did not attend the Saturday event, held at Regina's Queensbury Centre and emceed by CBC Radio's Jian Ghomeshi.
The non-televised gala is where the vast majority of the 45 Junos get handed out, including all the recordings in the classical, jazz and other genre categories. Only eight awards will be presented at tonight's CTV-broadcast awards, hosted by Michael Buble.
The only other multiple winner Saturday was a recording, not an artist. Synthetica by Toronto's Metric won the indie-rock band alternative album of the year -- and a recording-package Juno for the album's designer.
Among other big-name winners on Saturday, Leonard Cohen was named artist of the year, Carly Rae Jepsen won pop album of the year for Kiss, Rush won rock album of the year for Clockwork Angels and The Tragically Hip won music DVD of the year for Bobcaygeon.
Violinist James Ehnes, a former Brandonite who was up for a pair of awards, went 50/50 in Regina by winning best large-ensemble classical album for Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto.
Two other Manitoban nominees went home empty-handed.
Winnipeg singer-songwriter Don Amero and rock band Burnt Project 1 were up for aboriginal album, which was won by Manitoulin Island's Crystal Shawanda.
The non-televised gala also honoured Lynn Lake native Tom Cochrane as Canadian music's humanitarian of the year -- and journalist Larry Leblanc receive a special achievement award for decades spent covering the Canadian music industry.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After a solid season in the pool the Saint Leo University women's swimming team was honored for its academic accolades as they took home a College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Team Scholar All-America award.
A high honor throughout all of the NCAA, the CSCAA presents the Team Scholar All America award to college and university swimming and diving teams who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 of higher. The Lions earned the honor in both the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters, posting yet one more sweep in the past season.
For the first time, the Lions finished ranked in the top-25 in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America in both the men's and women's national polls and Saint Leo claimed both an individual representative at the NCAA Tournament (Maggie Walker) and an individual champion in the inaugural Sunshine State Conference Swimming Championships (Michael Cozzi, 1,000yd free).
Named to the All-SSC First Team, Walker was the only Lion to represent Saint Leo in the NCAA Swim Championships where she dominated the 50 and 100 yard freestyles and contributed in the 100 yard butterfly and 100 yard backstroke as she set new team marks in each event. Making the biggest strides in the SSC Championships in February, she made her biggest mark in winning the championship in the 100 freestyle, a win that ultimately propelled her to the national competition. She was also named the Sunshine State Conference's Swimmer of the Week on November 1st.
A sport that is a blend of individual accomplishments and team achievements, the two newcomers were not the only ones to set marks in 2010-11. Other accomplishments include:
- Finish Season Nationally ranked, 23rd both sides
- Four CSCAA Academic All-Americans - Derek Maddigan, Michael Cozzi, Antonio Roki, Maggie Walker
- 26 Team Records broken vs. 16 last year
- Record improvement: 2009-2010 Record: 3-8 (SSC 0-6) 2010-2011 Record: 8-1-7(SSC 5-1-6)Head Coach
Paul Mangen will look to continue the upswing in Lions' Swimming both in the pool and academically when his 2011-12 group begins classes at the end of August.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1608 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Yes, Ondrej Pavelec is rested. And, yes, the Winnipeg Jets' goaltender is ready for Saturday's latest biggest game of the season, when the Carolina Hurricanes visit MTS Centre for another Southeast Division showdown.
All that said, Pavelec - who did not start Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Penguins in Pittsburgh as Al Montoya stepped in and faced 43 shots - is getting a little weary of answering the same questions about the same issue over and over again.
"I'm going to be honest," began Pavelec after Friday's practice. "You guys ask me every time how I feel when I'm playing or not playing. I don't think it's a big deal that the goalie plays a lot of games. A lot of goalies are doing it so I don't see a reason why the goalie couldn't do it. Players can do it, I think goalies can do it, too.
"I feel good. I feel ready to go."
Pavelec will return to the net for the Jets against Carolina on Saturday. The Jets, at 18-15-2 and with 38 points, hold a six-point lead over the Canes atop the Southeast – although Carolina does have three games in hand. Winnipeg is third in the Eastern Conference, but also have just a three-point advantage over the New York Rangers and Islanders, who are eighth and ninth with 35 points.
"It's fun... you're in a playoff race and it's nice to be in one this late in the season," said Evander Kane. "It's great to be able to control your own destiny and get into the playoffs on your own merit.
"Obviously, we know the situation: we're six points ahead of them and they have three games in hand. So if you look at it from a safe standpoint, we're tied with them and tomorrow we can move ahead of them."
Winger James Wright, who missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, was back at practice Friday wearing an orange non-contact jersey and is still listed as day to day, as is defenceman Mark Stuart. Nik Antropov and Ron Hainsey were not at practice for "maintenance" reasons, according to head coach Claude Noel.
Anthony Peluso (hand) has just started skating but is still listed as week to week as is Jim Slater (hand also).
Meanwhile, defenceman Zach Redmond - who suffered a season-ending injury on Feb. 21 – will be in Winnipeg next week to visit his teammates and speak to the media.
"It'll be good to see him," said Noel. "When I talked to him last week he was in great spirits. He's doing really good."

Fishing today with Sean for a couple of hours on my mum's river. I only fish it a couple of times/year at the most. Some better pike. Lost the first fish, landed the next two. Interesting takes, had to jiggle the fly in front of their noses. Bigger fish was 8lbs, the other was slightly under. Not bad.
This river got wiped out maybe 5 years ago following some fool tipping varnish down a drain – killing double figure carp and everything else for two kilometres. The past couple of years it's been full of small jacks and appears now to be well on its way to full recovery. Very very sad to see a river full of dead fish. It will take a long time for the carp population to recover but given time they should.

ILA To Hold Informational Rally at Global Terminals This Friday, January 6th In Bayonne, New Jersey To Protect "Good Paying Jobs" in Port
NORTH BERGEN, NJ - ILA Locals in the Port of New York and New Jersey plan a noon-time rally on Friday, January 6th, 2012 outside the offices of Global Terminals, 302 Port Jersey Boulevard, Jersey City, New Jersey to promote keeping good-paying jobs in this Port. The ILA will address growing concerns over terminal management wanting to implement new technology that will reduce ILA employment in the coming years.
ILA International and District officers will participate in the rally and have invited ILA members who are on their lunch breaks at Global Terminals or those not working on Friday to join them to demonstrate solidarity as the ILA prepares to begin negotiations on a new Master Contract sometime in the coming months. The current Master Contract expires on September 30, 2012.
The ILA is instructing all its members not want to interfere with working operations at Global Terminals and for members to work their assigned hours on Friday.
Global Terminals and Container Services, LLC announced in late November its intention to expand its current New Jersey terminal which would "include the introduction of new technology throughout the expanded Global Terminal."
The introduction of new technology must be jointly negotiated and the ILA will continue to fight to keep our jobs. The ILA rally on Friday is intended to send a clear message that it will protect hard-won gains of the past.
The ILA fully support efforts to make ports more productive and is open, through negotiations, to examine new technology and its impact on jobs and the industry. The ILA will not allow management to grab higher profits at the expense of ILA jobs. The ILA is currently conducting economic and labor studies in preparation for Master Contract negotiations. The ILA views this information rally on Friday as a means to demonstrate to its employers it is serious about protecting jurisdictions, jobs and the future.
The rally is scheduled from 12 p.m. to 12:50 p.m., at a designated area at Global Terminals, 302 Port Jersey Boulevard in Jersey City (in the City of Bayonne), New Jersey.

The countdown is on. The first year fellows and Longwood staff members Matt Taylor and Pandora Young will be departing in January for…the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and India! Planning the trip has been a monumental task. When deciding to aim for India during our first dinner together this summer, none of us could have predicted what planning the trip would involve.
We have plumbed the depths of our contacts from prior jobs and internships and successfully connected with staff members at botanic gardens, research centers, and attractions throughout India, Oman and the U.A.E. We experienced particular difficulties in establishing connections, as Indian gardens are particular in that they follow strict parameters in terms of botanical information sharing. Partnering with other countries is rare.
The remains of an itinerary planning meeting, courtesy of Felicia Yu
We worked diligently to prioritize gardens and forge connections with each institution. At least a few times, each of us has waited until late at night to call staff at Indian gardens as they were just arriving to work. When we struggled to receive confirmation from institutions, we sent dozens of formal request letters and packets of LGP information via Fedex. James, our fearless leader, has spent countless hours with agents crafting an intricate travel plan. Our final product is complete with overnight trains, planning around kite festivals in New Delhi, meetings with officials at the U.A.E, sunrise at the Taj Mahal, and adventures into the Himalayas.
We will hit the ground running in Dubai, and make our weary way to the new Oman Botanic Garden. We will then travel to Abu Dhabi to meet with staff from Botanic Garden Conservation International, BGCI, at the Al Ain Wildlife Park.
Our first stop in India will be at Thiruvananthapuram, aka Trivandrum, to explore the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute. From there we will take planes, trains, and automobiles through Mysore, Bangalore, New Delhi, Agra, Chandigarh, and Shimla. Stay tuned.

FOLLOWING on from his outstanding victory in the Good Friday roll-up medal, Mark Bisset continued his excellent form by blitzing the Cirencester course with a net 66 to win Division One and become overall champion in April's monthly medal.
Cirencester Golf Club
April medal
In second place was Evan Drayton who again performed superbly with a net 67, edging out by one shot Simon May (68) who had the consolation of posting the best gross score of 75 on the day.
The Division Two winner, with a hard earned net 66, was young Daniel Skinley, who apparently credited the victory to his father Glenn's guidance and support.
Runners-up to Daniel were Tony Crowther, again on the rostrum but not a winner, with a very good 68, and Bob Herbert, coming back to form with 69.
Division Three saw Martin Dyer record a net 72 on countback from Brian Pfleger and new member Scott Hicks (first medal appearance) one shot behind both of them with a credible net 73.

Life of a King is the unlikely true story of Eugene Brown and his one-man mission to give inner-city kids of Washington D.C. something he never had - a future.

On this new ChessBase DVD, IM and FIDE Senior Trainer Andrew Martin investigates the notion that 'pawns are the soul of chess' and tries to explain exactly what this means. The effective use of pawns in the opening leads to the correct development of the pieces and a good game springs naturally from there. The pawn structure must be considered throughout the game and this is something that Martin also touches upon. The viewer will be treated to a tour of excellent games, both old and new, many from the period 2012-2014, which highlight key ideas about the correct use of pawns and from which one cannot fail to improve one's technique. Thus this DVD is ideal for players below 1800 or indeed ambitious players of any level.
First Steps in Pawn Structures - Andrew Martin
A Practical Guide
There isn't a chessplayer who hasn't struggled with doubled pawns. Are they strong because they oversee and surveil important squares or reinforce defensive ramparts? Are they weak, prone to being collected by our opponent in the endgame – or sooner? In the first work devoted exclusively to this topic, the author examines the various pawn structures in which doubled pawns appear.
Doubled Pawns
Modern Chess Strategy by the well-known Czech Grandmaster and theorist Ludek Pachman, is widely recognized on the continent of Europe as the standard work on the middle-game.
Pachman's Modern Chess Strategy
with Grandmaster Danny Gormally
Aimed at club, congress and county players, this DVD provides a vital insight into how a grandmaster thinks and the reasoning behind his choice of moves. In this DVD, Danny provides useful guidance to players who are looking to improve their thinking during a game by analysing the typical strategic plans from the opening until late in the middlegame. Are you ready to go beyond the basics? If the answer is a resounding 'yes' then follow Danny as he explains the fundamental ideas and principles behind some of the most complex and challenging positions.

Ask the Pieces - Stefan Becker & Karsten Muller
To win games against strong players you need an extra set of skills to the usual attacking ideas. There are many careful players who will close the position or passively defend until you try something too optimistic, giving away material or making a concession which eventually allows them to win. Incredibly frustrating! To beat these guys you need to master the art of positional chess and that is exactly what GM Damian Lemos helps you achieve in "Positional Mastery". By studying the textbook examples in this Course you will learn how to constantly ask questions of your opponent, forcing them to solve subtle problems until they make a mistake and you win.

By pinning White's knight Black prevents the threatened 4.e4 and seeks to inflict doubled pawns on White. White will attempt to create a pawn centre and develop his pieces to prepare for an assault on the Black position.

Recipe: Whole Roasted Rockfish with Grape and Red Onion Salsa
There is something incredible about serving an entire fish at the table. First, by cooking it whole much of the moisture is retained giving you an incredibly tender and flavorful fillet. But I also like presenting fish whole as it allows us to better understand and celebrate that this fish is a magnificent creature that we are lucky to be able to eat!
Serves four
1 whole rockfish (wild striped bass), dressed
1 inch knob of ginger, peeled and grated
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon juiced
1 cup red or green seedless grapes cut in half
1 small red onion, sliced very thin
For the fish, prepare a charcoal grill with all of the coals on one side. Mix the ginger garlic and salt with 2 tablespoons olive oil and rub all over the fish, including inside the belly cavity. When the coals have burned down to embers place the fish as far away from the flame as possible. If you wish, add a handful of soaked woodchips to the fire. Cover the grill and allow to cook for approximately 15 minutes per pound of fish. Depending on the size of the fish, you may need to add more charcoal to keep the fire going. (This is not an exact science as the fire temperature can vary. The best way to check doneness is to gently insert a knife along the backbone and lift up to expose the flesh. If cooked the flesh will be an even opaque color throughout.) To remove from the grill, it is easiest to lift the grill grate and having a partner hold a plate on top of the fish, then invert the whole grate so that the fish lays right onto the plate. Or use a partner with spatulas to carefully remove from the grill.
For the salsa, mix the sliced onion with the grapes, lemon juice and remaining olive oil. Season the mix generously with salt and toss to combine.
To serve, insert a spatula along the backbone of the fish and gently peel off sections of the fillet. This is best done in smaller, more manageable pieces. There is a good chance that there will be a few small bones in the fillets when done. Top the servings with a spoonful of the salsa and serve immediately.
About Striped Bass
Striped bass are an iconic species known up and down the East Coast as a favorite of both the commercial and recreational fishing industries. They are known by many colloquial names depending on the region—rockfish, stripers, green backs and more.
The stocks of this fish plummeted drastically in the 1970s and 1980s, but thanks to an unprecedented effort among coastal states, the fish was brought back in a resounding and inspiring story of success.
Fisheries management is difficult enough when you have a sedentary stock—a fish that lives and is caught in one place—but stripers are highly migratory. Mostly spawned in the Chesapeake Bay, they spend their mature lives swimming the coasts from Louisiana all the way to Nova Scotia. This pattern gives every state fishery along its route equal rights and responsibilities in the care and proper management of the species.
A five-year moratorium on the fishing of the species allowed protection of spawning fish to be possible year after year. The juveniles of those protected fish are now at full maturity, and I recently heard a fisherman in the Chesapeake Bay proclaim that there are too many rockfish, that they have rebounded beyond their historical highs and are now overpopulated. This is an anecdotal assessment, but fishermen do offer an insight into ecosystems made possible by their intimate relationship with the resource.
Wild striped bass do have a number of toxins that are found in the flesh. Striped bass are at the top of the food chain in their ecosystem, and as they eat, they accumulate environmental toxins in their muscle tissue and fats such as methylmercury, dioxins, and PCBs. Toxicity levels depend on the amount of time a fish spends in a particular body of water.
The Hudson, for example, was for many years the site of industrial discharge that has left the river fouled with high concentrations of PCB. These are harmful to humans at varying levels depending on age, gender, and weight. For more information on toxicity levels in fish, visit our Seafood Decision Guide.
If you broil or grill the fish it is best to cook it with its skin on to preserve moisture and keep the fillet intact. But I remove the skin after cooking, as well as the dark-colored tissue directly beneath the skin, as this is where toxins tend to build up in the flesh. By removing this highly flavored part of the fish, you can reduce but not negate the consumption of toxins.
The fish has a rich and tasty white flesh that is both meaty and robust in its flavor—not fishy, but full flavored. It's a natural fish for the grill but it's really in season in the cooler autumn months, when I like to simmer it in rich stews, like the recipe for autumn bouillabaise with rockfish.

I don't know if y'all have ever noticed this or not, but I am a huge fan of Steven Raichlen. I have made many of his recipes, and each and every one have been killer. This particular recipe did not fail me either. You can find the recipe in Planet Barbecue if you are interested.
A big thanks to jfm0830 for pointing me toward this recipe.
The bone in leg of lamb is first studded with all sorts of goodness before its placed on the grill.
Then after a little while of cooking, you start basting it with the Charmoula Sauce until its done.
Served up with some Greek Potatoes. Amazingly good. Probably the best thing I've ever made.

Utah Jazz lose to Oklahoma City Thunder, 110-87
Oklahoma City • Al Jefferson's ankle is fine. Paul Millsap's right knee is better. Yet, the limp to the finish line of this boondoggle of a season for the Utah Jazz continued Wednesday, where they lost 110-87 to the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Jazz were outscored 21-9 in the second quarter and were shooting just 22.7 percent from the field at halftime.The Jazz are 3-8 since the All-Star break and remained half a game behind the Lakers for eighth in the West after Los Angeles lost in Atlanta.The Jazz shot 35 percent from the floor, their worst percentage of the season.Marvin Williams, Gordon Hayward and Enes Kanter all received technical fouls, while DeMarre Carroll was whistled for a flagrant foul in the third quarter when he leveled Kevin Durant with a shoulder.The play mirrored one in the Jazz's win over Oklahoma City in February when Durant took out Alec Burks in transition.The Jazz are off until Saturday when they host Memphis, a team they are yet to beat this season.

Blue Wave boys, Oak Hall girls repeat titles
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
Shortly before he left for the emergency room, P.K. Yonge throws coach Brian LaPlant gathered his team together at Thursday's District 1A-5 meet hosted by Oak Hall.
Photo Galleries
LaPlant, who lacerated his right index finger while setting up his team's tent, would miss almost three hours of the championships but first wanted to make sure his throwers could give the Blue Wave the start they needed to repeat as district winners for the 12th straight year.
"I was squeezing it and holding it together, and I said to the throwers, 'Hey guys, you're going out there, and you know what you're doing. You've been here before,'" LaPlant said.
Following his coach's speech, senior Josh Johnson set a personal record in the shot put with a winning toss of 46 feet, 3 1/2 inches and placed P.K. Yonge on track to score 142 points in its title defense.
When district runner-up Cedar Key separated from the 10-team field with three individual wins — including a top-four sweep of the pole vault — the Blue Wave's sprinters helped overtake the lead in the 400-meter dash behind junior Craig Joiner's first-place time of 52.87.
Also winning for P.K. Yonge was the 4x100-meter relay team comprised of Anthony Andrews — who also finished second in the 200-meter dash — Dock Luckie, Willie McKnight and Derek Bain. In the second to last event, Garrett Westlake, a senior, sealed the win for P.K. Yonge by claiming the 3,200-meter run with a final time of 10:22.85.
"(The streak) means a lot to them, and that's what counts," LaPlant said. "They know it's a pride thing, and they work hard for it. Anytime they feel like they want to slow down or skip out on stuff, that's what pushes them."
While the Blue Wave boys continued their dominant district run, the P.K. Yonge girls team struggled to reclaim its title-winning form from Oak Hall, which broke the Blue Wave's five-year streak last season.
Fueled by breakaway performances from their state-ranked distance runners, the Eagles defended their championship by totaling 203.5 points to cruise past second-place Cornerstone, which scored 86.
Oak Hall junior Brittney Olinger led the way with victories in the 1,600 and 3,200-meter runs with teammates Lauren Perry, Emma Rembert and Talia Carlson following closely behind. The host Eagles earned 29 points in each event as its runners filled the top four.
"We have a strong distance group, but I was really pleased coming out of the field event," OHS coach Edwin McTureous said. "All of my girls competed well in the triple jump, the high jump and we scored in the discus. Knowing that we had some strength in the distance coming up, I thought was huge."
Though Oak Hall claimed five individual events and two relays on the day, just four of their winners are currently in high school.
Along with eight-grader Lauren Perry's runner-up results behind Olinger, seventh-grader Grace Blair opened a nearly 12-second lead with her first-place run of 2:25.75 in the 800-meter run.
"We have a lot of depth on our team, and a lot of our young athletes are able to put in really big marks for us," Olinger said. "The majority of our team is probably middle schoolers, but that's even more impressive."

Sahel Crisis: Nutritional Emergency Begins in Chad's Kanem Region
For months humanitarian actors have sounded the alarm in anticipation of an impending regional food crisis due to shortages, price hikes, and drought. One million children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition. The impact of this slow-onset crisis is now being felt, much earlier and more severely than expected, as populations in Kanem, Western Chad, experience a telling spike in malnutrition rates. More than 2,000 severely malnourished children were admitted for therapeutic nutritional care in Kanem last month alone—more than three times the number in the same month last year—and our teams are alarmed at the critical state in which many of these children arrive as it suggests a rapidly deteriorating nutritional crisis.
"In November and December of last year, we saw an influx of malnourished children but they were at least in a state that allowed us to treat them without too many complications. Now, children are arriving in such an advanced state of malnutrition that we cannot always save them. Many are dying on their way to our centers, which is something we rarely saw in previous months."
—Clemence Malet, Action Against Hunger Nutritionist
In Kanem, more than 60 percent of the population lives in a permanent state of food insecurity. Additionally, communities are still recovering from previous food crises, making this year's instability all the more dramatic. Those conditions have contributed to a haunting countrywide statistic in Chad—one in ten children die before they turn one, and one in five before their fifth birthday.
One such unlucky little one was a 16-month-old girl named Achta, who was admitted for therapeutic nutritional care at the hospital in the village of Mao. She arrived weighing just 11 pounds, her severe acute malnutrition compounded by diarrhea. Five nurses went to work on Achta, trying for over an hour to find a vein to give her fluids. But her heart rate was already so low, and breathing so slowed, that the diagnosis was grim. Achta didn't make it through the night.
Chad's haunting new reality: one in ten children die before their first birthday; one in five before their fifth birthday
Scaling up: Mobile nutrition units, food distributions
It's experiences like this that inspire our staff to scale up our efforts as much as possible. This is the time to do it; the so-called lean season, a period of food shortage in between harvests, has begun two months early in Kanem. Many families have had no stock of food for weeks. In response to this critical lack of food, our teams have launched large-scale emergency food distributions in coordination with colleague NGOs in the region.
In response to the widening nutritional crisis we're ramping up the operations of our 20 mobile nutrition units to proactively identify and treat malnourished children before it's too late. The teams anticipate reaching more than 20,000 children in Kanem and the neighboring province of Bahr el Ghazal. To support this effort we've opened a new base in central Chad to cut down on logistical challenges and transportation time.
Livestock is the main source of sustenance in Kanem and farmers depend on their animals to survive. As drought-like conditions reduce pasture lands for grazing, the region's livestock have suffered heavy losses, leaving farmers without income to buy food for their families. The United Kingdom government's Department for International Development (DFID) has funded a livestock protection program that provides veterinary services and distributes feed to help farmers salvage their herds and weather the crisis without having to sell at rock-bottom prices.
Making a difference, one child at a time
Families are already starting to see positive results. Two weeks ago, a Chadian mother named Assama walked more than five miles from her home in the village of Senet to a therapeutic nutrition center we've run in Mondo for the past eight months. She brought in her 8-month-old son Ousmane, who weighed little more than a newborn should. Assama had tried an outpatient nutrition center for Ousmane first, but he continued to lose weight, vomited frequently, and had no appetite. She explained that her family's income potential as grain farmers was destroyed by the lack of harvest, and that inflation was making it next to impossible for her to buy enough food for her three children.
"I don't eat enough, there's nothing to eat in Senet," Assama explained when her son was first admitted. "As a result, I have almost no milk for Ousmane. I can't breastfeed him enough, which makes him malnourished. He is suffering."
But now, after seeing her son receive lifesaving care, she's hopeful.
"For Ousmane, things are getting better. He's regaining his appetite. He's drinking milk. Along with the staff at the nutrition center, I am helping take good care of him. Everything is so much better than when we first arrived."

Murata selects Black Sand CMOS PAs for 3G front ends
1 Comment
LONDON Japanese passives to power supplies giant Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) has selected CMOS power amplifiers from Black Sand Technologies Inc. (Austin, Texas) for use in RF front-end modules for 3G mobile phone handsets.
Integrating the PA together with other RF front-end components into a single module allows for better optimization of performance, battery current, size, and cost, said Black Sand.
"Tier 1 cellular manufacturers are demanding increasing levels of sophistication and integration throughout the handset, and RF is no exception," said .Norio Nakajima, vice president of the module business unit at Murata, in a statement issued by Black Sand.
John Diehl, CEO of Black Sand, could not put a value of the design win with Murata. "There's no exclusivity either way. But we've chosen to work together as best-in-class partners," he said. "This agreement represents a major opportunity for both companies: industry estimates tell us that the market for RF front end components is growing at a CAGR of around 15 percent, and will reach in excess of $5.5 billion by 2014." Diehl was referencing a market research report from Needham and Co.
Mobile device manufacturers have long sought a viable CMOS alternative to GaAs that will enable them to benefit from an improved supply chain, higher reliability, and lower cost.
Diehl said that envelope-tracking (ET), the method of matching PA voltage to the instantaneous power output required was something that CMOS PAs enabled but that the market seemed to be applying it more to 4G than to 3G communications.
"CMOS does allow more smarts in the PA. Our BST35 family has an integrated power detector that can be used to achieve 2-dB of additional power output on the output antenna," he said. "We are bringing that [ET] capability into a 4G context. We have no announcement on 4G-optimized ET for now."
Diehl concluded: "Collaborating with ET partners is part of the strategy," but he declined to name partners.

What do math and science have in common with General Motors and AIG?
Too big to fail!
Arts programs in schools?
More anemic every day.
Music curriculums?
Pulse is getting weaker.
Then, a recent study comes out saying that the U.S. is slipping to the back of the pack in the fields of math and science.
Now, you got my attention!
Weather is math and science! Somewhere out there a child is sitting in the basement, right now, logging changes in barometric pressure. He or she may just be the one that will grow up to unlock the mystery of that great oxymoron: accurate weather prediction. That one bright, young mind that will insure that television weatherpersons no longer have to endure the constant indignity of the blown forecast. Unfortunately, 90 percent of a weathercaster's job is learning to suffer public humiliation gracefully. It goes without saying that…without healthy high school math and science programs…there's no hope for those of us looking for professional respect.
We need incentives to keep math and science teachers at their jobs. Incentives to draw big brains from the private sector to the classroom…if only part time. Incentives to lure more bright students to the disciplines.
Wake up, America!
I don't want a forecaster in Beijing to be the first to be able to confidently report, "There is absolutely, positively a 100 percent chance of rain on Saturday!"

Pastor's Question
A young boy went to a Catholic school. During school he started goofing around, so the teacher called him out and sent him to the Pastor. Since this was a traditional school the boy would be spanked, but the Pastor believed in giving people a chance. He said, "If you can ask me a question about something you learned and I don't know the answer on the spot you will go free."
The boy may have been lazy, but he was very witty. He asked, "What is it that you can see and I can see, usually every day, but God cannot see." The Pastor stood there, stumped. He couldn't figure it out because he strongly believed that God sees and knows all, and that there is only one God. The boy smiled and told him.
What was it?
HintYou can't see what isn't there.
AnswerHis own equal! We see our equals everyday, but since there is one God, he cannot see someone equal to himself.

I discussed this briefly with Wattz2000, and we concluded that some users have more than three images and a lot of them aren't used any longer. What Wattz brought up, which I agree with, is to delete all the user images and start anew. Additionally, user images of users who have edited in the past week will be kept as we know they are active, this is only through the deletion bit. All users are welcome to reupload their images, as long as it falls under three. So yeah... I think it'd be pretty good. Jäzzi 14:03, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Sounds good. It would clean up a lot of the mess with user images, so I'm all for it. — ChaosVoid 02:24,4/8/2012
- Since our userbase has been a bit low, should I consider this enough to go through and clean out the userimages? Jäzzi 02:32, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Proposing a New Policy
So, I think we need a new User Image Policy. To make it more clear as to how many images a user has an such. This would include a new naming form, a new section in the MediaWiki:Uploadtext saying what to include when you upload the image and how you should name it, and we'd license them. Jazzi 00:24, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
To Be Included
- A naming standard
- Possibly File:User Image (1/2/3) - USERNAME.extension
- Or needs to include the username somewhere, the number can be added in
- Licensing standard
- Upload text
Please add anything else you think should be included. Jazzi 00:24, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
I'm going to add in this bit to the userimage policy and change the upload text to suit this. While I'd much prefer there to be a discussion before I do so, it appears bumping for a discussion won't happen. I'll leave this open till 3:00PM Eastern Standard Time for possible discussion. After 3:00PM EST, I will be going ahead with the changes. Jäzzi 13:20, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

SHOP workers at Jessops at Merry Hill face an uncertain future after the national camera retailer went into administration.
Jessops, which has a store on the upper mall at Merry Hill opposite Marks & Spencer's homeware outlet, appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as administrators yesterday (Wednesday January 9) and staff heard store closures would be "inevitable".
A statement released by PwC said the retailer's core market had seen a "significant decline" in 2012 and the run-up to Christmas. Rob Hunt, joint administrator and partner at PwC, said: "Our most pressing task is to review the company's financial position and hold discussions with its principal stakeholders to see if the business can be preserved."
He said trading would continue in the meantime but Jessops would not honour customer vouchers or accept returned goods.
Jessops operates from 192 stores across the UK – and has around 2,000 employees.

Many people are asking why the financial markets have so far been unruffled by the political crisis which is playing itself out in Washington. That is a very good question. Yesterday was a case in point. The Financial Times website led with a story by Martin Wolf headlined "America is flirting with self destruction". Yet equities were up on the day, and gold fell sharply.
The explanation for this conundrum, I believe, is twofold. Part of it is connected to the nature of markets, and part to the nature of this particular episode.
To start with the nature of markets, it has become very clear in recent years that asset prices are not necessarily very good at reacting in a smooth manner to changes in the perceived risk of extremely unlikely events taking place. For long periods, the markets do not react at all, and then they suddenly react in a discontinuous manner. The manner in which asset prices reacted to the risk of sovereign defaults in the euro area before and during the crisis of 2011-12 was a good example of this.
For many years, the markets acted as if there was no risk at all of default. Then, in the summer of 2011, they suddenly started to price a risk of 30 per cent or more that several sovereigns would default within the next 5 years, an assessment which now appears to have been a significant over-reaction. So the fact that markets do not price these risks for very long periods of deteriorating newsflow does not imply that the risks are in fact non existent, or that they will not suddenly appear in asset prices.
Why do markets behave in this way when, after all, the major participants are fairly rational, most of the time?
