Strong gains by the S&P 500 index Friday morning seemed somewhat supportive of the commodity markets, but the corn rally had a more direct cause. That is, the latest weather forecasts imply substantial rainfall over large areas of the Corn Belt next week, thereby implying persistent delays to U.S. corn plantings. Those not only reduce the productive potential of the grain that gets planted, continued postponement of corn plantings also tend to cause acreage to shift from corn to soybeans. May corn climbed 5.75 cents to $6.5025/bushel around midsession Friday, while December gained 3.5 cents to $5.4475.
News of lock closures on the Mississippi River may have weighed upon soybean futures Friday morning, since that essentially reduces short-term export demand. The potential for spring plantings to shift from corn to soybeans may also have weighed upon new crop futures. In addition, the market may simply have been ready for a setback after climbing substantially during the past two weeks. May soybeans fell 2.5 cents to $14.28/bushel late Friday morning, while May soyoil dropped 0.46 cents to 49.20 cents/pound, and May soybean meal dipped $0.6 to $410.4/ton.
The prospect of delayed spring wheat plantings also seemed to support the wheat market Friday morning. The fact that the Minneapolis market easily outperformed Chicago, which in turn outstripped Kansas City, appeared to confirm such ideas, since Northern Plains delays could be extreme. Conversely, early reports suggest the overnight frost did little damage to Southern Plains winter wheat apparently weighed upon KC prices. May CBOT wheat futures rose 6.5 cents to $7.0925/bushel just before lunchtime Friday, while May KCBT wheat edged up 2.25 cents to $7.46 and May MGE futures surged 5.25 cents to $8.23.
Cattle futures traded firmly as the CME floor session got underway Friday morning, but reversed lower later in the morning in the wake of slipping cash prices. That is, traders seemed to be hoping for firm cash trading this week, but news that Nebraska cattle were trading 1.5-2.0 cents/pound under the consensus price for last week negated those hopes. June cattle dipped 0.50 cents to 120.87 cents/pound in late Friday morning action, while December slid 0.72 cents to 126.25. May feeder cattle futures fell 1.10 cents to 138.95 cents/pound, and August sank 1.32 cents to 145.85.
Late morning news of cash cattle weakness seemed to undercut CME lean hog futures as well. Friday morning cash and wholesale news was somewhat mixed, so hog traders probably had little reason to expect a quick reversal of the recent slide in the CME lean hog index (which futures cash-settle against). Until the cash equivalent price turns upward, bulls will have little reason to buy nearby futures at current premiums. May hog futures slipped 0.40 cents to 87.55 cents/pound around midday Friday, while the June contract lost 0.70 cents to 89.90.

PHILADELPHIA –University of Pennsylvania field head coach, Colleen Fink, has officially announced the incoming class of 2017. Three women will join the Quakers for the 2013 season, two from Maine and one from New Jersey.
Next year's class will be joining a program that has grown positively during its time under Fink. Penn finished at 9-8 overall, its first winning season since 2006, and posted its best record in the Ivy League, 3-4, since 2008. Additionally, the Quakers tied a program-record set all the way back in 1988 by scoring 42 goals throughout the season. The Red and Blue also had four players honored by the Ivy League, their highest total since 2005.
"The 2017 class is small in number but destined to make a big impact," said Fink. "They positionally reflect each area of the field and will help fulfill the needs of the team moving into the future.We are very excited to welcome Elise Tilton, Stephanie Felt and Jasmine Cole into the Penn field hockey family."
Also joining the squad will be a sophomore transfer from Brown, Katelynn Mudgett.

News Release
Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030
Jan. 29, 2007
TPWD Proposing To Drop Lower Laguna Madre Trout Bag to 5
Coastal Fisheries biologists have proposed reducing the daily bag limit of spotted seatrout from 10 to 5 in an area of the Lower Laguna Madre south of Marker 21.
The proposal, which was presented to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission's Regulations Committee along with several other suggested changes to the 2007-08 Statewide Hunting and Fishing Proclamation, would mark the first time the department has attempted a regional approach to managing a saltwater fishery.
The reduction in the daily bag limit addresses a downward trend in the spawning stock biomass of spotted seatrout in the Lower Laguna Madre — a trend that runs counter to steadily increasing populations elsewhere on the coast. Of particular concern, TPWD Coastal Fisheries Director Larry McKinney, Ph.D., told commissioners, is that spotted seatrout spawning stock biomass currently is about half what it was at the time of the 1983-1984 freeze.
A greater number of reproducing fish can help stocks recover faster after a catastrophic event such as a severe freeze or red tide algal bloom.
"We've had lots of comments in our scoping meetings," McKinney said. "Of course there are concerns over biological need, but we think the data is very good and compelling. We've also had a lot of comments saying five fish is something we can live with.
McKinney said it should be obvious within the first two to three years whether the proposed bag limits are having the desired effect.
The proposal sets the bag limit for spotted seatrout at five for the area south of Marker 21 and the adjacent wellhead channel just inside the south end of the Landcut and includes the Arroyo Colorado, the Brownsville Ship Channel, South Bay and the two Gulf passes to the ends of the jetties at the Port Mansfield channel and Brazos Santiago Pass.
The Gulf beach on Padre Island National Seashore is not included in the area, but any boats fishing in Gulf waters and landing their catches within the boundaries would be subject to the lower bag limits.
In addition to the proposal to lower the bag limit on spotted seatrout in the Lower Laguna Madre, coastal fisheries biologists are seeking public input on several other recommendations, including:
- Increasing the minimum length limit for sheepshead from the current 12 inches to 15 inches, in increments of 1 inch per year. This would, by 2010, allow all retained fish to have reproduced at least once.
- Implementing a "no-take" rule for Diamondback terrapins. The rule would exempt permitted non-game dealers and collectors.
- Raising the minimum size limit on tarpon from 80 inches to 90. The 80-inch minimum was put in place in 2006 to allow for the possibility of a new state record fish to be landed. A 91-inch fish broke the old record in the fall of 2006. Based on the scoping comments, McKinney told commissioners there appears to be a significant amount of support for returning to a purely catch-and-release tarpon fishery. The proposal was modified by the commission to have a zero fish bag limit for tarpon.
- Requiring the use of circle hooks when fishing for red snapper and reducing the minimum size limit for red snapper from 15 to 13 inches.
- Enhancing the ability of Texas enforcement officials to prosecute cases in Texas courts by adding language in the Statewide Hunting and Fishing proclamation mirroring federal rules for the red snapper commercial fishery individual fishing quota (IFQ) program. This will allow state officials to make state cases when the case would otherwise not meet the profile/economic level to warrant federal prosecution. McKinney told commissioners that his staff also will be looking at creating a licensing system that allows party and charter vessels to more easily license fishery participants at the boat. Finally, McKinney said, his staff will continue to work within the federal process of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service to create the most flexible management options for Texas — such as separate season/bag limits (as compared to the rest of the Gulf) — that will optimize local benefits.
The proposed proclamation also includes minor changes to "clean-up" current rules, including broadening the definition of what types of boats are prohibited from harassing fish; including language that makes it clear that coastal and salt waters mean the same thing; and exempting offshore aquaculture operators from state bag and size limits as they land cultured fish.
TPWD Inland Fisheries biologists proposed increasing the possession limit for striped bass from 10 to 20 on Lake Texoma. The proposed change would reduce angler confusion with respect to fish landed in Texas.
Inland fisheries biologists also proposed extending by one year the current provision allowing the harvest of catfish by means of lawful archery equipment which includes crossbows. The department is still in the process of evaluating the impact of the regulation on catfish populations.
Public comment about these issues and others of interest may be made to TPWD, Regulatory Proposals Public Comment, 4200 Smith School Road, 78744, by phoning (800) 792-1112 or by visiting tpwd.texas.gov/business/feedback/public_comment.
In addition, a series of public meetings is scheduled across the state during March to take public comment. Following is a calendar of upcoming public meetings. One or more additional hearings will be scheduled for the lower coast to address coastal fishing proposals. Locations and times will be announced soon.

Brian Klug - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkSunspider 0.9, or Sunspider 0.9.1? Methinks the latter ;)
-Brian Reply
fixxxer0 - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkMy droid x on CM7 rom does the sunspider 0.9 in 3945ms (vs 7014 for stock) for peoples comparison.
not overclocked at all (undervolteded though) Reply
yourwhiteshadow - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkif you're going to mod the phone you get, you might as well get the G2x, but otherwise you're better off with the sensation.
hopefully we'll see these benchmarks repeated with a stable CM build. Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkThat's actually our plan - to do a CM story and show some performance numbers. I've actually run all the betas and the final stable CM7 builds on the Optimus 2X which we still have kicking around.
Honestly from the sound of it, CM7 is much, much more stable than the binary that LG has pushed out to the G2x. I can't speak too much for the G2x version of CM7, but the Optimus 2X CM7 build is flawless.
-Brian Reply
arbarath - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI own Optimus 2X and I was very excited when I bought it.
I am really disappointed after I bought. Sometimes my single core HTC desire performs better than Dual Core Optimus 2X. I have all above mentioned problems. The phone suddenly becomes very slow. The pre dexopt issue also killing. When you want to add a widget u need to wait for 30 sec to bring up the list of widgets.
I tried Cyanogen Nightlies but not stable yet. I get too much of dropped calls with RC1. I will move to cyanogen. I have no hope on LG's software side. Better they could hire some cyanogen group persons to develop their software.
I am not recommending LG Phones to any of my friends.. after all these.. Reply
fabarati - Friday, August 05, 2011 - linkYou should try out Modacos GR2 alpha. It's fluid and smooth and quick and pretty damn stable. But more importantly, it has all the LG software improvements, like a better texting app, better contacts app, 720p mkv playback, LGs camera app.
Also, there's a camera app mod that allows 30fps 1080p recording @ 17 mbps and 30 fps 720p @ 10 mbps, greatly increasing video quality. It's also available for CM7.
But yeah, it's a tinkerers phone.

roguecong - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linki recorded a clip on the "high" setting and it showed as 1080(8)/23 in windows properties - with a lousy 128kbps audio. Reply

The audio is limited by the microphones. Increasing the bit rate won't improve audio, but lowering it won't necessarily worsen it. Reply
Vinas - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI liked the last half of this review. Still I feel that the benchmarks are not a good indication of performance since these phones are not running the same stuff. For instance the HTC sensation only had about 100MB free with sense 3.0 running. It also has a much better qhd screen, so the resolution is just higher although it keeps up well. Basically I bought the sensation over the g2x. In the end sense 3.0 is pretty awesome and I'm not wanting to switch back anytime soon. Reply
halcyon - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - link...but, when will you review GS2?
I know you like to review operator models, but the original non-operator version of GS2 has been out for over three months already and it's the best thing since sliced bread, everybody says.
I'm sure you could get one directly from Samsung or afford to source one from an online retailer at RRP.
Really looking forward to that review. Reply
quiksilvr - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkIf there is a newer version of Sunspider out why wouldn't the phones be tested on that instead of the old version? Reply
bplewis24 - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkBecause if you run all of the new phones on the newer version only, there will be no way to compare them to the old phones run on the older version of the test (unless you re-run every single phone on the new version). Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, August 04, 2011 - linkWe'll eventually move over to the new version as it runs similar tests with a few improvements, but also has a much shorter runtime.
-Brian Reply
MobileMenace - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkThe table lists the screen size as 4.3in, but is actually 4.0.
Is the Bluetooth streaming fixed for CM7 on G2x? That has kept me from using it, since I use that frequently. I haven't tried it recently, but it seemed to run stable several weeks ago. Reply
beepboy - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkIs that a Honda Dizzy (Distributor), from a Civic engine perhaps? Reply
Sansnombre - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI see the phone, no big woop -- standard issue -- but what the h is it resting against? Good Lord, is that a distributor, circa 1978?! Or perhaps a mint example of the original electromechanical RAID distributing concept being used as a paperweight/photo accessory . . . Reply
VivekGowri - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkSixth-gen Accord, actually. Reply
Chaser - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI love my Sensation :) And T-Mobile gave me an upgrade price for the Sensation that replaced my G2x. Reply
aegisofrime - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkNope, it's 0.9. I made sure to run the same version as you guys do. Here's the results. Apologies for the URL shortener but as you know the link for the results is fiendishly long.

B3an - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI also get about exactly the same on my Galaxy S2.
Almost feel sorry for the yanks not yet having the best phone on the planet months after release. Almost :) Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, August 04, 2011 - linkThat's surreal, I get 4614.8 ms on SunSpider 0.9 on my SGS2 running the latest official firmware. Very very odd and unsettling, are you running a custom ROM?
-Brian Reply
Stuka87 - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkInteresting use for the Honda Distributer. Reply
D3CIM8 - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI have been running a CM based Gingerbread (2.3.4) ROM with a custom kernel for some time now. I get a freeze or random reboot maybe once a week at most and I use my phone a lot. Unmounting the USB drive can result in instability occasionally. The camera isn't as nice as the LG one in 2.2 and AD2P just doesn't work. On the bright side there is a hack to get true 1080p/30fps video recording working on the camera. Netflix streaming also works which is a huge plus for me. With the custom kernel I get a minimum of a day under medium to heavy use.
For reference I am using Faux123's ROM with his OC/UV EXT4 kernal. For you benchmark junkies, OCed to 1.5Ghz it scores 5000+ on Quadrant and is completely stable (my phone at least, YMMV).
On a side note, in the specs comparison chart you have the screen on the G2x listed as 4.3" instead of 4.0". Reply
VivekGowri - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkFixed - that table got copied almost directly out of Brian's Sensation review, I wasn't looking too closely for issues. Thanks for catching it! Reply
fearsjohn - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linki had the same issues random reboots and stuff going wrong and the 2.3.3 update helped some. the funny thing about it is the kernal is still based on froyo not gingerbread. i got tired of the issues and flashed eaglesblood on it which is based on cm7 and fauxs kernal and it is so much better than the half baked crap lg and tmobile sent out. and these guys do not even get paid for it.

yourwhiteshadow - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkpassion for things cannot be replaced. that's the reason the modding community is so amazing, its the passion that drives things forward, not the money. Reply
Mr Benelli - Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - linkI must have lucked out. After the Gingerbread update I have zero random reboots and zero reception issues. I have nothing but good things to say about my particular device's performance since the update. Although, I am waiting for a root option for GB... Reply
sabrewulf - Thursday, August 04, 2011 - linkI just got 3460 on sunspider 0.9 and 3333 on 0.9.1 with my Verizon Fascinate running the latest CM7 nightly, but even the the latest stock Verizon (2.2) ROM is in the 5-6000 range. You guys should really consider removing the 2.1 results from these reviews, or at least adding 2.2 results. The GS is still an extremely capable phone and to portray it in such a poor and inaccurate light is really doing a disservice to prospective phone buyers. Reply
lowlymarine - Thursday, August 04, 2011 - linkAgreed. The iPhone has a different entry for every point release yet the Galaxy S devices languish on 2.1 months after the last one got it's official FroYo update - and after the international GT-I9000 got an official Gingerbread update, to boot. Reply

aegisofrime - Thursday, August 04, 2011 - linkIn fact I am, I'm on Lite'ning 5.0 at the moment, although I think what's really making a difference here is the governor used in the kernel. Perhaps your SGS2 is not scaling up to 1.2Ghz during the Sunspider benchmark. I know from some discussion on the XDA forums that the default Samsung governor is very conservative with it's scaling.
Also, I find it interesting that fellow readers are reporting vastly superior results with Cyanogenmod 7. I'm going to try that and report back. Any ideas on the reason for the improvement? Is CM7 using a superior Java engine? Reply

Tell Me About the Creation
Piltdown Scandal
The Piltdown Man skull was presented to the world over a period of 40 years as the biggest piece of evidence for the claim of "human evolution". This skull, however, was actually the biggest science fraud in history.
A well-known doctor and also an amateur paleoanthropologist, Charles Dawson came out with an assertion that he had found a jawbone and a cranial fragment in a pit in Piltdown, England in 1912. Even though the jawbone was more ape-like, the teeth and the skull were like a man's. These specimens were labelled the "Piltdown Man". Alleged to be 500,000 years old, they were displayed as an absolute proof of human evolution in several museums. For more than 40 years, many scientific articles were written on the "Piltdown Man", many interpretations and sketches were made, and the fossil was presented as an important piece of evidence of human evolution. No less than five hundred doctoral theses were written on the subject.63
In 1949, Kenneth Oakley from the British Museum's paleontology department attempted to try the method of "fluorine testing", a new test used for determining the date of some old fossils. A trial was carried out on the fossil of the Piltdown Man. The result was astounding. During the test, it was realised that the jawbone of the Piltdown Man did not contain any fluorine. This indicated that it had remained buried for no more than a few years. The skull, which contained only a small amount of fluorine, showed that it was only a few thousand years old.
Detailed research revealed that Piltdown man was the biggest science fraud in history. This was an artificial skull; the cranium belonged to a 500-year-old man, and the mandibular bone belonged to a recently dead ape! The teeth were thereafter specially arranged in an array and added to the jaw, and the joints were filed in order to resemble that of a man. Then all these pieces were stained with potassium dichromate to give them an ancient appearance.
Le Gros Clark, who was in the team that disclosed the forgery, could not hide his astonishment at this situation and said that "the evidences of artificial abrasion immediately sprang to the eye. Indeed so obvious did they seem it may well be asked - how was it that they had escaped notice before?"64
In the wake of all this, "Piltdown Man" was hurriedly removed from the British Museum where it had been displayed for more than 40 years.
The Piltdown scandal clearly showed that there was nothing that evolutionists would stop short of doing in order to prove their theories. Moreover, this scandal showed that evolutionists had no findings to reinforce their theories. Since they have no evidence, they prefer to fabricate it themselves.

Discontent over Bradford Council resurfacing work along part of the Tour de France route is continuing to rumble on.
The Keighley News reported a fortnight ago on how councillors and local residents were annoyed at the quality of the work carried out in Changegate, Haworth.
Asphalt was laid down over the old surface late last month. But some of this new material has also covered over several rows of setts, close to where Changegate joins the top of Main Street.
Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury parish councillor Angel Kershaw said that the asphalt over these setts destroys the illusion of the picturesque Main Street setts continuing over the brow of the hill. She said the setts which have been asphalted over on Changegate must be uncovered again as soon as possible.
"These are what attracted the Tour organisers – the appearance of the setts going all the way up the street," she said. "They won't be expecting to see them covered in asphalt.
"I think the district council has made a right mess of it. They've tried to do a cheap job and I understand they have budget constraints.
"But it's penny wise and pound foolish, because it'll cost more for them to put things right. Sometimes it's better to just do a good job in the first place."
A spokesman for Welcome to Yorkshire, which is promoting the Tour de France Grand Depart, said technical matters such as road surfacing were not part of its remit.
In response to the same issue, a spokesman for Tour de France Hub 2014, said: "Local authorities along the route are carrying out programmes of road improvements and maintenance ahead of the race coming. There are currently no concerns around the effectiveness of that work."
Bradford Council has previously said that the resurfacing in Changegate was intended to make the road suitable for the Tour cyclists, who are due to ride through the village on July 6. The spokesman said the only setts on Changegate were those which had become visible where the older asphalt road surface had been worn away.

HERKIMER, N.Y. (AP) -- A man who worked for 20 years with the shooter who killed four people in upstate New York says he was a good worker but was "spooky" in a recent encounter.
Steve Copperwheat is owner of Environmental Composites in Herkimer. He tells The Associated Press he hired Kurt Myers as a machine operator in the early 1980s at Waterbury Felt, a manufacturer of industrial textiles.
Copperwheat says Myers was intelligent, quiet and got along well with co-workers.
He says he hadn't seen Myers in about 10 years when he saw him at a Wal-Mart three months ago. He says the encounter was "spooky," with Myers very nervous and anxious to get away.
Myers was killed Thursday morning by police in a building where he had hidden since Wednesday morning's rampage.

'Let me tell you something. The Hispanic voters in Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico don't give a damn about Marco Rubio, the Tea Party Cuban-American from Florida. You know what? We won the Cuban vote! And it's because younger Cubans are behaving differently than their parents. It's probably my favorite stat of the whole campaign. So this notion that Marco Rubio is going to heal [Republican] problems—it's not even sophomoric; it's juvenile! And by the way: the bigger problem they've got with Latinos isn't immigration. It's their economic policies and health care. The group that supported the president's health care bill the most? Latinos.'
Granted, what does David Plouffe know? He only led to victory two well-managed presidential campaigns. The worst part of the Obama campaign, remember, was its candidate: He kept saying stupid things such as "the private sector is doing fine" and "you didn't build that" and then he totally, completely, massively flopped in the first presidential debate. He won anyway because of strategists like Plouffe, Axelrod, Messina, and this guy and because the Republicans spent most of their time warning about a fiscal crisis that hasn't happened. The national GOP simply does not know how to reach its voters and provide them tangible benefits and positive reasons to show up at the polls. As if to prove this point, much of the Republican establishment has reacted to the party's recent defeat by rallying behind an amnesty for people who did not and will not vote for them.

Im sick, and it's been a long day, so if this is painfully obvious which Im sure it is, I'm sorry.
This echos nothing:
$cycleDate = new DateTime('2012-12-30');
echo $cycleDate->date;
This echos both the var dump, annnndd $cycleDate->date.
$cycleDate = new DateTime('2012-12-30');
echo $cycleDate->date;
Why cant I access $cycleDate->date without a var dump being done first?
Furthermore Iwould like to express my dissatisfaction for PHPs DateTime classes. I'm finding it most difficult just to manipulate the object to remove 1 month from the date.
Not quite sure why it pumps stuff out when you do the vardump, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use: $datetime->format(); to get the date:
$cycleDate = new DateTime('2012-12-30');
echo $cycleDate->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
//will echo: 2012-12-30 00:00:00
You need to use the DateInterval class: http://php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.format.php
$cycleDate = new DateTime('2012-12-30');
echo $cycleDate->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); //will output 2012-12-30 00:00:00
$monthInterval = new DateInterval('P1M');
echo $cycleDate->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); //will output 2012-11-30 00:00:00
*Edit: the "P" in the DateInterval constructor relates to "period" ie "Period 1 Month".
Ya so the problem with this is Feb:
$cycleDate = new DateTime('2012-02-30');
While I know 2/30 does not exist, I still need it to return 2012-01-30 as the -1 month value
Then I guess the logic you are looking for is slightly different? I'm not sure what your use-case is here? Can you explain what you want a bit more?
Obviously, there is no 30th Feb, so when you try to set that date, php sets it to the 1st of March, meaning you'd end up with the 1st Feb in your calculations. I don't think it's php that's wrong here though - it's just that your logic is different to actually subtracting a month from another month, for whatever reason.
Can you explain your use-case in more detail?
No PHPs treating it correctly in most cases. I'm sure I'd be way past this if the flu didn't have me down. I'm writing a script for billing cycle statistics. What happened during their previous billing cycle. So on the 28th of every month, I'll be kicking off this calculation for the 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st because not every month has those, however they still need to roll all the way back to what would be exactly 1 month ago according to their bill cycle.
Personally, I like the following approach, it got me the best results:
$march = new DateTime('2012-03-31');
echo $march->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
$february = $march->modify('last day of previous month');
echo $february->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
$january = $february->modify('last day of previous month');
echo $january->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
Whereas, this was just wrong!
$oneMonth = new DateInterval('P1M');
$march = new DateTime('2012-03-31');
echo $march->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
$february = $march->sub($oneMonth);
echo $february->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
$january = $february->sub($oneMonth);
echo $january->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
It's crazy that the above works - I had no idea you could type a string like that in the datetime class. It's quite cool I guess...
Yeah, I remember first finding that out, and I was like COOL! but why can't I just use a DateInterval, so I tried DateInterval and went sigh that's why...
Oh! and before I forget to mention this because it truly is a pain. Both ->sub and ->modify return an instance of DateTime and MODIFY the existing object!
So if you did this after my above examples:
echo "
";
echo $march->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
echo $february->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
echo $january->format('Y-m-d') . "
";
They will ALL output the same date! Keep that in mind.
Someone recommended this to me recently: https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon
Thought it might be worth sharing
Neat! I'll play with that tomorrow to see how well it handles edge cases.
Drats! I had hoped it may have inherited DateTime to fix some of the idiosyncrasies, but alas it doesn't, it just adds additional methods. Not really worth the footprint (in my opinion, but neat nonetheless). This is where I wish PHP took a lesson from the .NET framework. Subtracting one month from 2012-03-31 produces 2012-02-29 appropriately in .NET, PHP instead calculates 2012-02-31 and then pushes that to 2012-03-02, which is annoying.
I wound up just passing $day and $month into a function. Thanks for the go at it cp, though it doesn't do what I need it to. (ex. Feb 15th should return Jan 15th.) This was pretty much just me complaining about my inability to work through anything on a flu
Except 2012-02-29 isnt one month back from 2012-03-31... so...
I disagree wholeheartedly. When you subtract a month, you expect to be in the previous month, not still in the current month. Saying 2012-03-31 minus a month is 2012-03-02 is misleading at best. You should be subtracting the 31 days of March to get to February 29th, as that is the month you are trying to lose. When you are 2012-02-29 and you subtract a month, you should remove the 29 days of February to get to January 31st.
The 29th of February would be 1 month prior to the end of March. Remember a Month is not a fixed interval, the size of a month differs by month and by year (in case of leap year).
You may be able to use $date->modify('15 of previous month'); but I haven't tested that to be sure.
So by your math, A month before May 30 is April 29th. Uhm... what? (31 days in May)Think you meant you need to subtract the number of days in the -preceding- month. Which is how you end up with March 2nd.
I see your point, so my basis is flawed to. PHP is currently subtracting the number of days in the preceding month, thus the March 31st minus a month is March 2nd, which is still wrong... So obviously it is a bit more complex than that too.
This is why I agree with .NET:[highlight=c#]var march = new DateTime(2012, 03, 31);var may = new DateTime(2012, 05, 31);Console.WriteLine(may.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));var april = may.AddMonths(-1);Console.WriteLine(april.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));
var march = new DateTime(2012, 03, 31);Console.WriteLine(march.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));var february = march.AddMonths(-1);Console.WriteLine(february.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));var january = february.AddMonths(-1);Console.WriteLine(january.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));Console.ReadKey();/* Output: 2012-05-31 2012-04-30 2012-03-31 2012-02-29 2012-01-29 // this one irks me a bit, but it is understandable.*/`
I have to give it to the MS folks, they really made it nice and maybe I just expect other languages to do it as well.
Bah, I'm back to the drawing board on this one. My solution doesn't have handling for new years. So my requirements again:
$suppliedDate = '2013-02-25'; //yyyy-mm-dd$minus1month === '2013-01-25'; //essentially, the day column must never be altered, no matter if any scripting language thinks it makes sense or not.
$suppliedDate = '2013-03-29';$minus1month === '2013-02-29';
$suppliedDate = '2013-01-15';$minus1month === '2012-12-15';
I started to replacing the month area by hand in a string, but then I realized it's not taking care of the year scenario. Should I just write in a case statement, if my starting month is January, subtract from the year?

Have you ever gotten to witness the look of sheer, unadulterated joy on a person's face when something unexpected comes along to brighten their day? I got to witness a moment such as this on my wife's face a while back. You're probably asking yourself, since this lucky lady is married to me, what could possibly make her life any better? Well, apparently it doesn't take all that much.
The moment occurred on one of those shoot-the-moon, devil-may-care Saturday nights that only two people who have been married for more than 20 years can have. We were sitting in our living room, me in my chair, her on the couch, Chubby the cat sprawled on her back airing out her nether regions on the hardwood floor, watching television.
This was one of those rare evenings when I, without too much argument, allowed my wife to be in charge of the remote control. This doesn't happen very often because, quite honestly, she's not very good at it. Even though I have tried to coach her, she insists on going through the channels in a willy-nilly manner. At times, in an ascending numerical order, at other times, in a descending chronological arc. She'll hover and stop on dumb programs like the local news while skipping right by television shows about guys bass fishing. There is no rhyme or reason to her methods.
Before we go any further with this tale, there is something you should know about my wife's movie-viewing habits. She likes two basic kinds of movies. She tends to like movies with a plot. Movies that have a romantic, emotional aspect to them with good dialog between established characters. The other kind of movies she likes are filled with song-and-dance numbers. I believe they're called musicals. If you can combine these features into one movie, and add some good-looking guys, she's in cinematic heaven.
She is prone to like movies that, though they may be popular according to worldwide mass appeal and adoration, I don't like. I prefer to view films that have explosions and car chases, with tasteless (some may say raunchy) humor. I could not care less if there are good-looking guys in the movies I watch. To give you an idea of the kind of movies I like, I lost all respect for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences when they totally snubbed the first "Porky's" movie for the Best Picture Oscar in 1982. It still angers me. To this day, I have refused to watch "Gandhi" in protest.
On this particular evening, as she haphazardly made her way through our cable channels, she landed on TBS or TNT or some other station that had Ts in it. The reason she stopped was because John Travolta was standing on a car singing something about greased lightning. I'm going to admit right here and now that up until this point in my life, I had never watched "Grease," and I had never intended to. (It is my belief that Mr. Travolta hit his acting apex as Vinnie Barbarino on "Welcome Back, Kotter" and every role since has been a hopeless attempt to recapture past glory.) But on this night, I could tell by the smile on my wife's face, I was going to be introduced to the world of 1950s musical comedy. Oh well, at least there was a cool car.
Me and Chubby sat there as my wife got all caught up in the love story of Sandy and Danny. As we neared the end of the movie, and they were starting to roll the closing credits, my wife looked at me with a smile and said, (and I quote,) "The only thing that could make this night any better is if 'Footloose' came on right now."
I thought that I was in an episode of the "Twilight Zone" when, at that exact moment, as I looked at the television, cowboy boots started dancing across the screen accompanied by Kenny Loggins singing. It was spooky. My wife had conjured up a movie from 1984 to magically appear on our television. According to her own definition, there was nothing that I could possibly do to make this night any better. That really takes the pressure off.
Her eyes had glazed over. She tilted her head to the side with pure joy as she contemplated the next two Kevin Bacon-filled hours of our lives. She had told me stories about how, back in high school, she and her friends had gone to see "Footloose" every night for something like two years straight when it first came out. I knew there was no fighting this cinematic decision. Chubby and I were going to get the thrill of watching "Footloose." I groaned a little as Ren McCormack buzzed around in his beat-up old, yellow Volkswagen Beetle. Oh well, at least there was a cool car.
Every now and then, I would glance over to her sitting on the couch. I swear I could see her mouthing the words as the actors were saying them. All in all, it's fun to watch someone's face light up with happiness even if you do have to watch stupid movies from the late '70s and early '80s
I wonder if "Porky's" is on Netflix?

NINETY-six per cent of Dorset Police Officers passed the latest round of rigorous fitness tests for police officers.
Held by the College of Policing, 151 officers from Dorset attended the fitness test with 145 passing scoring Dorset Police with a pass rate of 96 per cent.
Of the officers who took part in the standard test, 110 men completed it with two failing and 36 woman officers took part, with two also failing.
Five officers, three men and two women, completed an "alternative" test, with three passing.
These latest results come as the College of Policing publishes its guidance on police fitness tests, which will become mandatory annual tests to all forces on September 1.
More than 13,000 police officers from police forces around the country were tested between March and May this year, with an overall pass rate of 98 per cent.
Rose Bartlett, from the College of Policing, said: "The results show that the vast majority of officers tested are fit.
"The new guidance issued to forces has been designed to provide supportive measures to help officers to pass and the college has now commissioned research in order to understand why women and older officers have a lower pass rate.
"The college will continue to monitor the results of police fitness tests and support forces in helping officers to pass."
The fitness test requires officers to complete what is commonly known as a bleep test, a 15-metre shuttle set to a timer that requires officers to complete the shuttle run at increasing pace.
If officers fail the test at the first attempt, they are allowed to retakes before the effort is marked as unsatisfactory.
The College of Policing say that the standard required is the same as when police recruit new officers, and that the run is based on scientific research to match the aerobic demands of officer safety training.
Annual fitness tests will be introduced from the start of next month and guidance issued by the college states that officers who undertake Personal Safety Training should achieve a level of 5:4 on the shuttle run.

Washington, D.C. The Supreme Court announced its decision on Monday to dismiss a case brought against Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores by an employee who alleged that the retailer had discriminated against her after she was disabled in an on-the-job accident.
The court said the case was dismissed under Rule 46.1, which provides for dismissals when both parties agree to settle a dispute. The justices had said they would consider the case Dec. 7, and oral arguments were expected to take place this spring. The Supreme Court did not provide additional details.
At issue in the case was how far employers under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) must go to accommodate disabled employees. This particular employee, Pam Huber, was injured in April 2001 while employed as an order filler in a Wal-Mart distribution center in Clarksville, Ark. She applied for a different position at equivalent pay, but didn't get the job.
Wal-Mart said in court papers that it hired a more qualified employee. Huber was later given a job at about half the hourly wage she earned as an order filler.
Huber sued in June 2004, arguing that under ADA rules, she only had to be qualified for the equivalent position, not the most qualified, and should have been reassigned to the job with equivalent pay.
A federal court in Arkansas ruled in favor of Huber, but the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in St. Louis, reversed and sided with Wal-Mart.
The ADA "only requires Wal-Mart to allow Huber to compete for the job, but the statute does not require Wal-Mart to turn away a superior applicant," the appeals court said.

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Kate Upton sure can work a bikini -- so much so that she's landed the coveted cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue two years in a row.
Clad in just a pair of skimpy white bikini bottoms and a fur-lined hooded parka, the bombshell blonde strikes a sexy pose against an icy-capped Antarctic background for the 2013 cover shot.
The headline? Polar Bare. The company, who had hoped to announce the cover on the Late Show With David Letterman, made the reveal via a Twitter post after the cover image was leaked online, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.
"We can finally talk about Antarctica!!!!!...Took us 2 months to thaw out," Upton tweeted after the reveal.
Upton, 20, once attended Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne.
Upton joins a short list of models who have appeared on the cover multiple years in a row including Christie Brinkley (1979, 1980 and 1981) and Elle MacPherson (1986, 1987 and 1988).
Last year, Upton graced her first cover of the magazine's swimsuit issue, and in 2011 she was named Rookie of the Year for her first appearance inside the magazine (which also included an inset photo on the cover). The 5-foot-10 Upton was born in Michigan but raised in Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The executive director of First Coast No More Homeless Pets announced the organization is closing its Mandarin adoption center January 1 to focus on large, occasional adoption events in association with Jacksonville Animal Care and Protective Services and the Jacksonville Humane Society.
FCNMHP founder and director Rick DuCharme wrote a memo earlier this the month saying the decision was made after several successful mega-adoption events in collaboration with the city and the Humane Society resulted making November the group's first no-kill month, adopting out more than 90 percent of the dogs and cats entering its shelter.
"This renewed focus on adoptions helped us create other initiatives that were even more effective and economical at finding homes for the homeless pets in our care," DuCharme wrote.
The group took over the Mandarin adoption center from the city a year ago, saying it was "desperately needed to ensure we found enough homes to be effective in our mission."
Since that time, they've found larger, high-profile adoption events are a more cost-effective in saving homeless animals.
"The recent Home for the Holidays Mega Adoption event found homes for 838 dogs and cats, which is about the same amount of pets saved through the adoption center in one year," DuCharme wrote. "Based on the high cost of the operation of the adoption center in Mandarin, we are re-focusing our efforts on these higher impact adoption events and other programs."
The group says animals at the adoption center will be adopted out and will not be negatively impacted.

Mr. Smith sent me something highly disturbing today. For those who can't be bothered, Dr. Sanity has explained why she will quit medicine forever the day socialized medicine becomes a reality here in America.
Read it. I'll wait.
Now, Dr. Sanity...
I get it. Your argument is that the advent of socialized medicine is tantamount to the enslavement of your medical mind, and I agree with you. And, frankly, your decision to renounce your profession rather than submit to slavery is an honorable one.
But you'd better stay in the fight.
Most of us—you know, the guys and gals who actually PAY for all this nonsense—have read Atlas Shrugged. And we've all had that John Galt fantasy of grabbing our pile of f**k-you money and buying a one-way ticket to someplace with lots of sun and really cheap beer.
I get it.
But, see, in Atlas Shrugged John Galt and all the good guys pissed off to their giant Libertarian enclave way up in the mountains someplace, where they could interact with one another in perfect market efficency until the numbskulls down in the valleys ran out of beer and electricity and finally came to their senses. Now, I don't know about you, Doctor... but I haven't received my invitation yet.
Down here in the real world, when the light of market capitalism is extinguished in America, there really isn't anyplace else to go. Sure, you may be able to end your days quite comfortably... but you'd better spend some of your remaining wealth getting your children embedded into the new ruling class. Because once that light goes out, nothing short of another Civil War is going to relight it.
Think about that.
There can't be another Revolutionary War, because there is no New World to incubate the rediscovery of self-rule. No, we're talking a good old-fashioned Civil War, brother against brother and all that.
The last Civil War killed off 625,000 people. That's a LOT of casualties, at least until you realize that this number represented nearly 2% of the American population at the time. Then you do the arithmetic.
That's right. A modern Civil War would cost SIX MILLION LIVES... as many as the Nazis killed, but here, on Main Street. Your street.
So let's get our minds right, Doctor. You can quit practicing medicine if it eases the itch in your middle finger, but you can NOT give up.
You aren't allowed to.
I mean it. If civilization matters to you—if the notion of seeing your grandchildren grow up in the shadow of the gulag gives you even the slightest discomfort—then you are bound to pledge your life and your sacred honor to the preservation of this thing we call America.
Because there's noplace else to go.

J'Adore: Carla Amorim Architectural Designs
Most Popular
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Rio de Janeiro native, Carla Amorim, derives inspiration for her graphic designs from fellow Brazilian architect Oscar Neiemeyer's modernist works.
Niemeyer, who famously designed with an eye for form over function, likened his aesthetic to the sensuality of nature, once explaining: "What attracts me is the free and sensual the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman."
Amorim's referential collection of oversized rings, produced in three colors of gold, registers the effect of architecture as accessory— sublimely rendered and sensuously modern.
Carla Amorim rose gold & diamond ring, $2,530, available at Edit.

Last week's release of a SkyDrive Pro app for iOS is another example, as is the company's promise, made this week, to release a mobile-oriented version of Dynamics CRM by this fall for both Windows 8 and the iPad.
On the other hand, Microsoft has also declined to release Office for the iPad, and its iOS version is only useful to those who also subscribe to Office 365. In the new landscape, the company must execute a complex strategy that alternates between defiantly proprietary and surprisingly open.
To a degree, the company has navigated this dilemma before; Microsoft Office is available for OS X, for example, but it's not as modern as the version available for Windows. Still, compared to past examples, Microsoft's new plan involves navigating a more complicated field.
Last week at Build, Microsoft added a few wrinkles to its "open" strategy. The company can still profit from iOS and Android apps, its representatives suggested, if Azure becomes the cloud infrastructure that supports them.
Microsoft also opened Bing as a development platform. At Build, Microsoft VP Gurdeep Singh Pall said the program can bring the "unbounded knowledge of the Web" to apps, and demonstrated examples that included apps integrated with 3-D maps as well as voice recognition, speech controls and language translation capabilities. Microsoft's APIs are mostly intended to help Microsoft developers make more engaging Windows 8 apps, but some attention is being extended on competing platforms as well -- another example of the tightrope the company is now traversing.

Saddlers knocked out by Imps
Walsall's FA Cup campaign came to an early end as they lost 3-2 at home to Lincoln City after extra-time.
Last Updated: 13/11/12 11:40pm
Walsall's FA Cup campaign came to an early end as they lost 3-2 at home to Lincoln City after extra-time.
Vadaine Oliver was the hero for the Blue Square Premier battlers, coming off the bench to score twice in extra-time and hand the Saddlers a first-round replay defeat.
The 20-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday player headed an Alan Power corner firmly into the net 12 minutes into the additional period at the Banks's Stadium and intercepted a James Chambers back pass to poke in his second and Lincoln's third two minutes from the end.
Walsall, without a win in 11 games, pulled one back through a deflected Jamie Paterson free-kick in stoppage time, but it was mere consolation.
Lincoln took the lead in the 50th minute when Power beat the offside trap to shoot past David Grof, and the Saddlers thought they had a chance of going through as Richard Taundry fired low into the net from the edge of the box to equalise nine minutes from the end of normal time.
Walsall piled on the pressure but Andrew Boyce was a tower of strength at the heart of the visitors' defence.
Lincoln now have a home tie with Mansfield in the second round.

Hi,Sometimes I'm confronted with the issue that the links in the posts of this forum aren't underlined. The links can be hardly visible or just not visible [because of their minimal color difference in respect to the normal text *)], especially:
So I guess I'm not the only one who is missing links in the forum (sometimes I see that people are asking for a link which is already posted earlier).But we don't know how much links are missed. Who is missing a link, doesn't ask for it (only when the link is mentioned elsewhere in the text)! :rolleyes:
Conclusion: the not underlined links reduce heavenly the user friendliness and accessibility of the forum.
All this is diametrically opposed to the essential WCAG standards (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines):
Maybe it is not too easy to realize this in the used forum technology, but I hope you can pay attention to these accessibility issues.
BTW: the underlining of all the links in this post I did by hand! Francky_______*) Tested with the Contrast Analyser:
**) Depending of the demographics of the country. "The amount of light that the eye of a 60-year-old can see is only 1/3 of the amount of a 20-year-old." (Source, in Google-translate English). This means: for people between 20 and 60 years the contrast power is somewhere between 100% and 33%. Quite a difference! Above 60 that is going on (70 years old: about 12.5%...).
I'm not seeing where this is an issue. Links in posts are underlined and have enough contrast against the background to be clearly visible.
Are you commenting about forums in general?
Is this supposed to be a blog post?
Hm, not for me. Anyhow, the rationale for this topic is mentioned by Francky here: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?1173382-How-to-create-circle-image&p=5579520&viewfull=1#post5579520
Are you sure that's not Greasemonkey?
I'm hearing you @Francky; - I'll talk to the guys and get that sorted when they have a gap.
I believe that those with an elevated status see the forum a bit differently than the average member:
@ronpat Yikes, that hover state is not good! :-/
Ah, I see the things are rolling in a good direction while I was writing my answers to Force Flow (I had to gather some links). Here the answers.
Links in posts are underlined and have enough contrast against the background to be clearly visible.
I don't think so:The links are not underlined by default in this forum, and don't have the dotted outline if the link has focus: not in FF, not in Chrome etc.
On a link in a post, Firebug gives back that in stylesheet www.sitepoint.com/forums/css.php?styleid=40&langid=1&d=1379302775&td=ltr&sheet=bbcode.css,editor.css,popupmenu.css,reset-fonts.css,vbulletin.css,vbulletin-chrome.css,vbulletin-formcontrols.css, is stated (from line 1289):
a:active, a:focus {
outline: 0;
body a {
body a:hover,
body a:hover .time,
body a:hover .shade,
body a:hover .understate {
That is: the visitor does not see the underline or the outline.Unless the visitor has client side made a browser setting which is overruling this.
Maybe you have set your browser in the right option to see the underlines, but that is not standard.And what happens if you throw away your mouse, and visit the SP forum only by keyboard?My point is: a website should not be dependent on special client side settings of his/her browser. I guess more as 50% of the surfers don't even know that these options exist.
Is this supposed to be a blog post?
@Galactic Overlord & other contributors: thanks a lot to clear the things!
Still underlining by hand, Francky
Note: in some browsers the visibility of the color of the links is somewhat better because of a better rendering of the fonts.
This is what I see in Firefox:
I see the same thing if I'm not logged in.
Though it does look like the mod add-on and one of the scripts does contribute to the appearance.
Hi Force Flow,Yes, indeed underlines to see. But this is a bit confusing: my posts just are all exceptions! :magic:This is what I called "underlined by hand"; in the section you screenshotted, I made the underlines in the bb-code: [ U ] link [ /U ]. :stir:
Like you did in your signature:
In both cases the underlines are hard coded in the html (not in the css of the links):
But if I take a look in the signature of ronpat, ralph.m or HAWK, I see this: (the default setting of the links: not underlined)
This normal style of the links happens in the same way in the body of the messages (see ronpat's screenshot in #6).

How term life insurance works
- The premiums you "pour in" are based on your age and health, as well as the amount of death benefit and the length of time, or term, the insurance coverage will remain in force. Your premiums will generally remain the same during the term of the policy.
- As you pay your premiums, the insurance company deducts all of its expenses, premium taxes, and the cost of pure insurance, or death benefit.
- The insurance does not build any cash value. The amount of pure insurance coverage, or death benefit, remains the same over the term of the policy.
- If you die during the term of the policy, the insurance company will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary named in the policy.
- If you live beyond the term of the insurance, the coverage ends and generally neither you nor your beneficiary receives anything from the company. However, you may renew the term of the insurance, but your premiums will likely be much greater due to your increased age.

Liberty Advances with 4-1 Win Over Coastal Carolina
YouTube video of Yang's Clinching Point
For the second consecutive season, No. 4 seed Liberty squared off against No. 5 seed Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals of the Big South Women's Tennis Championship. The Lady Flames avenged last season's 4-0 loss by downing the Chanticleers 4-1 on Thursday afternoon at the Winthrop Memorial Tennis Courts. Liberty advances to face No. 1 seed Winthrop in the semifinal round tomorrow at 10 a.m.
"In the beginning of the season we set a goal to peak at the conference tournament," commented Liberty head coach Jeff Maren. "Today we saw the fruits of our labor as the team played well from start to finish. I couldn't be more proud of our girls and am already looking forward to the opportunity to play a very good Winthrop team in the semifinals."
Liberty's second win in as many matches against Coastal Carolina this season improves its overall season record to 11-10. The victory snaps a four-match losing skid versus the Chanticleers in the Big South Women's Tennis Championship.
The Lady Flames opened the match with a win in two of the three doubles matches. In the No. 1 position, Rebekah Jenkins and Nicola Wellman delivered a convincing 8-2 win against Shelby Bates and Kourtney Kowal. The Chanticleers' Mikaela Davies and Libby Scott defeated Cameron Richard and Valerie Thong, 8-4, to even the doubles' contests at one apiece. Brittany Yang and Jessie Boda clinched the doubles tally for Liberty with an 8-4 victory versus Vanessa Ortiz and Alicia Robinson.
The Lady Flames quickly extended their lead to 3-0 after straight-set wins in the No. 6 and No. 3 singles spots. Annisha Domenech bested Ortiz, 6-2, 6-2, before Wellman ousted Davies, 6-2, 6-3.
Coastal Carolina's lone point of the afternoon came when Scott outlasted Richard, 6-4, 6-3, in the No. 1 position.
In the No. 5 spot, Yang collected Liberty's third straight-set win of the afternoon, downing Robinson 6-2, 6-4 to clinch the contest for the Lady Flames.
With the match already decided, the No. 2 and No. 4 matches were ruled unfinished.
Liberty 4, Coastal Carolina 1

DETROIT - Subpoenas have been issued to the members of the Detroit Financial Review Team which has worked to form a consent agreement between the city and the state of Michigan.
Judge William Collette has ordered roughly half of the team to show up in court at 9 a.m. July 16 to explain themselves.
Collette had previously ruled the team had to stop its work until he held an Open Meetings Act hearing. When the team did not stop working, Collette called the team to explain why he should not hold it in contempt.
That never happened.
The Michigan Appeals Court overturned the judge's decision regarding the open meetings, but it also ruled State Treasurer Andy Dillon and the rest of the review team were wrong to ignore Collette's contempt hearing.

So now, Dillon and four other members including Conrad Mallette, Isaiah "Ike" McKinnon, Shirley Stancato and Dr. Gloria Price have been subpoenaed to Collette's courtroom. Detroit's deputy mayor, Kirk Lewis, and City Council President Charles Pugh also received subpoenas.
Local 4 reached out to everyone involved and the Detroit Mayor's Office, but there was no comment. Pugh did not comment either.
Local 4 could not reach Price. Stancato also had no comment.
Former Supreme Court Justice Conrad Mallette said he would be in court on July 16. When asked if he felt at any time he was in contempt of court, he said, "No."
Former Detroit police chief McKinnon said the same.
There are a number of possible penalties in this contempt hearing if Collette finds the review team did run afoul of his order. The penalties could include fines and even forcing the state of Michigan to pay the case legal fees.

HOUSTON - The country is suffering from the worst West Nile virus outbreaks on record and the number of cases is still growing. The overwhelming majority of the cases are in Texas.
There have been more than 1,100 human cases of West Nile virus in 38 states and more than 40 deaths. Twenty-nine of those deaths are in Texas, including three in Houston and one in Wharton County.
For every one reported case, dozens of others may be infected and exhibit few to no symptoms.
Doctors said for every 150 people who have West Nile virus, only one is severe. The average person will feel bad and have flu-like symptoms, but they'll recover rather easily.
Doctors in the Houston area are fielding a lot of questions about West Nile virus.
Half of the cases in the recent West Nile virus outbreak are in Texas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kelsey-Seybold Clinics across the city are getting a lot of calls from worried people.
"It's all ages – parents calling for their children and adult patients asking about their own selves," Dr. Nicholas Solomos said.
The most vulnerable people are the elderly. Of the 19 reported cases in Houston and Harris County, nine of the people diagnosed were over the age of 55.
University of Texas health experts in the Texas Medical Centers aid more people are being tested for West Nile virus as they come in with fever.
"There are different tests you can do – a spinal fluid, a lumbar puncture – to see if the patient has meningitis or encephalitis. Then you can test the spinal fluid or the serum for antibodies against West Nile," Dr. Rodrigo Hasbun with UT Helath-Memorial Hermann said.
It can take five to seven days before lab tests confirm a West Nile virus case. Doctors said they often begin treatment before getting those results.
Hasbun said the majority of undiagnosed cases are likely in younger, healthier adults whose immune systems can fight the virus.
About 2.5 percent of Texans are immune from West Nile virus, because, studies show, they have had the virus at some point in their life.
"We presume it's life-long," said Hasbun. "We've seen antibody fighters persist for years, but there are no good studies to tell us for sure it's going to be life-long."
CDC officials said they expect the number of West Nile virus cases in Texas and across the country to increase through the end of September.
Doctors recommend getting checked out if you have a headache, bad fever, body aches and rashes.
