BlackBerry Q10 will launch to the US in May or June
10 Comments

The release dates are killing BlackBerry... The sooner you release your phones, the better!
2. Even4steven (Posts: 43; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
BB and MSFT should take note of how Apple handles a release - veil of secrecy, announce with full carrier/supplier details, immediate pre-order and then timely release...
It seems to be a formula that works, and makes the product available while momentum and interest is high.
Had the Surface Pro come right out, I would have purchased it, but instead I bought something else in the interim. Will BB suffer the same fate?
3. apiskula (banned) (Posts: 578; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
I am glad they are releasing this late. It will give the platform a chance to die! Close your doors RIM!
5. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Only in the USA but if someone wants a blackberry with a keyboard than no other phone can replace that and they will wait for it...big deal
4. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
this is a really cool device , well sadly arriving in May will surely destroy it because this is the time when handsets at MWC usually go on sale
6. korean411 (Posts: 85; Member since: 04 May 2009)
if this is true then this is really bad because not only the galaxy s IV will arrive around that time but most likely the flagship phone from motorola from the google i/o will likely to arrive as well plus a lot of other android phones will come out as well. so release date are a really big issue for blackberry because since blackberry goal is try to get new user, it is going to be hard in this case for their z10 and q10 model. March, may, june might be a real risky bet for blackberry especially since big time companies are announcing their products around this time
7. imkyle (Posts: 1087; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
Remember Google I/O 2013 is coming in May. If the Motorola X phone is going to be released then the BB10 devices need to get a move on.
8. PhonePhazer47 (Posts: 30; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
This is really pissing me off! blackberry is doing something wrong!!... i was gonna get one but this constant delays of trying to get it right or waiting for test w carriers etc! is not acceptable! once it starts getting warm i know a lot of people coming off contract March, April!
Dear Rim, Blackberry or whatever you wanna call yourselves now! or it should be called "Rim just berry wait for it"..... you had a bunch of loyal riders waiting at the train station for a shinny new train that keeps getting delayed. some of us are sick and tired and are heading back to the parking lot to find a different mode of transportation! now im leaning back towards a G4.....
9. 1ceTr0n (Posts: 549; Member since: 20 May 2012)
Real stupid ri... Err blackberry, are actually trying to go out a business? I have a friend who's a die hard blackberry user for personal uses and even she may go iphone 5 instead of waiting that long. Lenova is going to be buying out blackberry by years end at this rate
10. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
this is a sad thing for the qwerty lovers in the US!
but hoping that BB will release a follow up of Z10 with killer spec and hoping with all the premium spec on it just like the q10!
i know that BB is prepping a quad core BB10 with bigger display and with premium materials on it! its the BB laguna that was leak before!!! hoping to see that beast is the future!

Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders
Allergist or ENT?
My daughter has had a constant stuffy nose that seems to get worse at night. She has used Afrin for way too long and is now getting headaches when she can not breath. I am not sure if I should take her to an Allergist, or an ENT. Which would be the right choice for this situation?
Either type of physician should be able to help initially. At this point, your daughter's problem is mostly related to her constant use of the Afrin. Regular use of these decongestant sprays causes inflammation and irritation in the nose, and actually aggravates congestion. The first step is therefore to get her off of that spray. Sometimes this can be done by substituting with a saline or salt water spray, but sometimes prescription medication is helpful to alleviate the terrible rebound congestion your daughter will have for the first few days. Once she has been off of the Afrin for several days to a week, much of that inflammation will settle down.
The next step is to determine why your daughter felt she needed to use the spray. Perhaps she does have underlying allergies, and this could be addressed with more appropriate medications than afrin, and could be prescribed by either an allergist or ENT physician. She may have an anatomic obstruction, such as a deviated septum, and this is usually best addressed by surgery. Such surgery is performed by an ENT physician.

Dear Teachers,
The school year is about to begin, and before I forget, I want to say thank you for teaching our kids.
I can only assume that you, like the rest of us, probably look to the new school year with mixed feelings. Maybe you've had a great summer, filled with vacations and gardening and reading books and playing on summer ball leagues. Now it's time for reviewing student handbooks and school policies, making lesson plans and corralling students back into the school routine.
I want you to know, teachers, that I don't take you for granted, or your responsibility lightly, as you head back to school. We are placing our children, our grandchildren, into your hands for six hours and more a day, five days a week, for most of the next nine months.
I assume most of you went into teaching because you love children and you love the process of helping kids learn. But I also assume that there can be hard days as a teacher and that many of you may grow weary at times during your work day, just like I do.
I want to encourage you to remember each day matters because years from now, those students whom you have in your classrooms today will remember you by name. They will remember you for the concepts and lessons you taught them but also for how you made them feel when they sat in your class.
I had some good teachers through the years who cared about teaching not only facts and precepts, but who also made me believe they cared about me. I owe them so much.
In grade school, Mrs. Brieser coaxed me into realizing there was a bigger world outside my hometown through the books she read to our class. With Mrs. Taylor, I felt secure and accepted in spite of my imperfections because she was patient and didn't make fun of me when I couldn't correctly pronounce the word "boil" repeatedly. Mrs. Gimbal taught me it was OK to have fun in school, to lighten up and not get bogged down too much. Mrs. Tobin didn't yell at me when I didn't turn in my report on Mexico, even though I had it done, but she seemed to understand without saying the words that I was still adjusting to the death of my dad.
In high school, Mrs. Schertz made me feel smarter than I was and modeled to me that it was OK, even good, to challenge and question things. Mr. Prusator gave me a sense of value and worth when he told me I needed to go to college, even when it seemed so far beyond my reach.
So as you begin your school year, teachers, know that I appreciate you. I realize our kids and grandkids aren't always going to be easy to handle. I realize you'd probably like to have classes about half the size you have now. I realize school is very different today than when I was growing up, with so much more expected of our students, and therefore, of our teachers.
But thanks for taking on the challenge, teachers. We are indebted to you.

What does everyone think about <snip/> Or Cheese, rather. I enjoy cheese
I'm not very adventurous when it comes to cheese. I stick with cheddar mostly.
A nasty brush in with blue cheese turned me off.
A nasty brush in with blue cheese turned me off.
Cheese is yummy! couldn't think of other things about it.
I'm lactose intolerant... if I eat cheese, I'll end up in a hospital bed.
I am an adventurous eater, but the only cheese i couldn't eat is the Cheese made with Maggots. I couldn't imagine the worm moving in my mouth while eating.
cheesse is very nice yummy
You are better off without it. It's filthy stuff. People shouldn't eat it, imho.
:lol:I looooove cheese I guess I'd even try the magot one, after they removed all the magots though.
there is one romanian variety: smoked pickled pressed cheese. to die for!
Yep, I'm sure you will die for it if you eat too much! :lol: I heard a science program a few years back where scientists listed all the terrible effects that cheese (and other dairy products) have on humans. It was truly scary.
Nevertheless, tradition, habit and desire are pretty powerful forces (though good old Death gets the better of them in the end. )
:lol: my wife is a regular desirous of sour cream with farmers cheese (or pressed cottage cheese, it's really hard to find an english equivalent for home made sweet cheese from cow's milk) and mămăliguţă (polenta or maize porridge = boiling water, salt and cornmeal) with no effect so far!
i really doubt centuries of dairy products enjoyment can get void by a science program

Last night I went to a "runway" show at Orange County Fashion Week – night three's "Runway Expose" for emerging and established designers. The ready-to-wear show featured six mostly forgettable (or in some cases nightmare-inducing) designers.
But there were two designers who showed some potential: Orange County designer Noelle Nicole and Inland Empire-based La Tasha Buccheit.
Nicole's line was a tad derivative – she showed an awareness of recent trends toward all-over and photo print textiles and this season's hot blue/green color mix – but pretty and very wearable. The biggest risk of her collection was a three-piece shorts suit in an all-over blue ocean print that looked fresh and young.
But my favorite of her looks was a silky blue and green halter jumpsuit: classic silhouette, elegant resort wear that seemed just a step or two above everything that had gone before.
Buccheit, whose line is called AhsataL, presented an edgier, more casual but very cool girl Thursday night. Her "Refugee A/W 13" collection included tweed harem pants topped by a totally covetable perforated leather shell with slouchy combat boots; asymmetric knit wraps over leggings and other pieces in earth tones worthy of an upscale urban fashionista.
Ciao for now …

Hello Steven and congrats. on the great recipes in all your books !,
I have cooked many, many recipes from your books: Carolina pulled pork along with the slaw is a real keeper, Oaxaca ribs, Memphis spares, Sweet Pork chops, Banana Ketchup (the best), PR Pig powder, Memphis rubs, lemon pepper, the incredible fish cure spice and much more.
Now that the Supreme Court has relaxed certain laws, I cooked a Beer Can chicken !...it turned out very good, with the breast a tad dry. I used a Bell&Evans chix.. I find them much less bloated\watery from processing and feed supplements, and usually can use less time on heat than a regular supermarket variety.
Question please: Since I live in a condo, I do the cooking and faux smoking (a metal box) on a gas grill (coals would be a bit too much worry on the patio) with direct and indirect heat. The bottom line is I want more smoke flavor in my efforts. Would an electric, round type smoker (with several levels), using wood chips give a good smoke flavor ? The heat would be regulated and I could add wood pieces in a controlled manner- the gas grill arrangement works fair but lacks good smoke flavor.
Still learning to keep it hot, clean and lubricated !

Reader Recipe: Spinach Salad With Candied Walnuts
Whether it's the overdone combination of gorgonzola and greens or the excessively fruity vinaigrette, I don't usually spring for spinach salads. However, when I saw Le Etiana's recipe, I was suddenly interested. Her dressing contains poppyseeds, which add extra texture. The cheese is a grated, mild Swiss, not the crumbled blue cheese I'm so tired of seeing in my salads. The candied walnuts add a subtle hint of roasted sweetness. Thanks to her appetizing recipe (and photo!) I think I'm ready to give spinach salads another chance. To see how she whipped up this healthy creation and check out the pictures of the beautiful table she served the salad on,

Spinach Salad With Candied Walnuts
Salad recipe — passed on from a dear friend. Poppy-Seed Dressing and Candied Walnuts — The Domestic Art Patricia Schocker Wright
- Salad:
- * 2 good size bundles of fresh spinach
- * 1 pound of grated Swiss cheese
- * bag of dried cranberries
- * candied walnuts
- * poppy-seed dressing
- Poppy-Seed Dressing:
- * 1 1/4 tablespoons poppy seeds
- * 3/4 cup of vinegar
- * 1/2 cup sugar
- * 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
- * 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- * 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
- Candied Walnuts:
- * 6 tablespoons of light corn syrup
- * 3 tablespoons of sugar
- * 1 teaspoon of salt
- * 2 1/2 cups of walnuts
Spinach Salad:
I make each person's salad individually rather than mix it all together. It's one of those salads that you want to have a certain amount of each ingredient for it to be yummy. I serve the dressing on the side in a small jug. Put spinach on the plate, sprinkle grated cheese, then the dried cranberries, and finally the candied walnuts.
Poppy-Seed Dressing:
Mix everything together in the blender and serve. Dressing lasts up to 3 weeks in the fridge but I never have any left over!
Candied Walnuts:
Preheat over to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Add nuts and toss well to coat. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 5 minutes - just make sure they don't burn. Immediately scoop nuts onto a sheet of foil. Spread nuts apart to cool thoroughly.

Over 600 Pastors attended a sold out event at the 13th Annual Pastors Appreciation Breakfast, sponsored by 880 AM WRFD on April 24th at Villa Milano. This annual event gives pastors an occasion to be with other pastors and receive fresh insight and encouragement to help them continue their tireless service to their congregations.
Before the breakfast and program began the Pastors had the opportunity to visit with over 25 exhibitors. The Heartland Bank team was on hand to meet and visit with many of the Pastors and express to them their appreciation for all the great work in the communities they serve and the inspiration they give to the youth. "For many years we have been a sponsor of the Pastors Appreciation Breakfast. We are proud to recognize many Pastors and friends that we have worked with over the years. Heartland has been very involved with the church community and helping with their financial needs," stated G. Scott McComb, Chairman, President and CEO.
A very inspirational message was given by the guest speaker, Tony Evans, Th.D, a Christian pastor and a widely-syndicated radio broadcaster in the United States. Dr. Evans is one of the country's most respected leaders in evangelical circles. As a pastor, teacher, author and speaker, he serves the body of Christ through his unique ability to communicate complex theological truth through simple, yet profound, illustrations. While addressing the practical issues of today, Dr. Evans is known as a relevant expositor. New and veteran pastors alike regard him as a pastor of pastors and a father in the faith.
Dr. Evans serves as Senior Pastor to the over 9,500 member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, which was founded in 1976 with 10 members meeting at his home. He is also founder and president of The Urban Alternative, a national organization that seeks to bring about spiritual renewal in urban America through the church. The Urban Alternative radio broadcast, "The Alternative with Dr. Tony Evans," can be heard over 500 outlets daily throughout the U.S. and in over 40 countries worldwide. The broadcast can also be viewed on several television stations.
Dr. Evans' goal is to transform communities around the world by changing it from the inside out. Both the National Adopt-A-School Initiative (NCAASI) and its paired program "Miracle of the Million" are aimed at empowering families to impact churches which transform communities within cities to reach the state and revolutionize the country in order to touch the world.Dr. Evans currently serves as chaplain for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and is also the longest serving NBA chaplain which he has done by serving the Dallas Mavericks for 32 years.
At the conclusion of the program, the Pastors and attendees were entertained by 220b Live It! Based out of Cleveland, OH, 220b is a 4 person high energy contemporary Christian band. Their sound is a combination of tight harmonies, creative musical arrangements and powerful percussion. Galatians 2:20b is the group's mission that they seek to live their lives by. The group's motto is "live it!" a challenge to live out your faith every day to the best of your abilities and you can visit them online at www.220bmusic.com.

What's Your Story?
Getting down to the heart of the matter...
de Shannon D. Scott
Acerca del libro
This book documents the stories of several of my co-workers who brought in one object that represents who they are in some way. I took photos of each of them holding their object and asked them to provide the story behind the object.
The stories, from the heart, create a picture of an organization that, each and every day, brings a part of themselves to their work. It is a characteristic of our organization that differentiates from others who do similar work.
The stories show that we are all the sum of our experiences and life stories.
I hope you enjoy the stories.

Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, IE9 and Real-world Solutions.What did you think of Louis Lazaris's exploration of what Internet Explorer version 9 can do with HTML5 and CSS3? Does it make you want to take a closer look at IE9 beta?
I agree on the svg support, it is pretty amazing.
I think that HTML 5 and css3 should only be used if one knows how to use them, validate them (nothing vendor-specific, and has failsafes.
I think css3 should be avoided more however as much as I love it
Does anyone know where I can find or show me the links where I can follow the updates on cs3 drafts and the plans for features or fixes in future drafts as bulbula did for htmHTML5
So many things! Some shorter and some longer changes. A 15 character doctype! The ability to include audio and video without plugins Here is a list of the new elements & tags:http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_new_elements.asp
Some quick, fun, and helpful references are html5rocks.com and the online book diveintohtml5 ,which is now in print by o'reilly & Google press.
Have fun with the future of the web!
SVG support is only ever touched on in feature summaries like this. I know you can't cover everything in detail but SVG is one of the most impressive technologies in the IE9 feature stack to me.
I am going through the sitepoint book about HTML and am really enjoying it. I just wanted to say I am doing the exercises in KOMODO edit, which is a free download for macs, and am able to view and example of the site in firefox as I write the code and I find it very helpful for working through the exercises.
Great job on the book, keep them comming
@Tan, Which book are you talking about?
"Build your website the right way with HTML and CSS"
I have built about 20 websites with free sitebuilder tools but keep running into the limitations of them. I have gone back and am trying to get the foundation to do things properly. this is the perfect place to start.
Can you please post its link as well. i also couldnt find it
So Sorry for the confusion, here is the link for the book I highly reccommend it!
The given e book link not working ,plz chk it.
The lack of pimping SVG stems from it being a fifteen year old technology that in terms of web use was first available over a decade ago when the OBJECT tag was introduced.
But nobody remembers that since Adobe buried their IE plugin for it the moment they bought up Macromedia!
Much like X11 you need to put a API on top of it for 'normal' people to use it which is why it was effectively stillborn on the browser a decade ago... the old joke, if X11 didn't suck we wouldn't need Motif, GTK+, QT or any of the other frameworks.
Which is just PART of why there's so much more interest in CANVAS.
Basically SVG is old tech that nobody embraced the first time around -- which is why calling it part of HTML 5 is just so much bull!
Though honestly I say the same thing about canvas being part of an HTML specification since the tag itself is useless - I don't even get why we needed a new tag for it since it's functionality is javascript only; at which point it should be added to the DOM via something like addchild instead of having a HTML element for it. You want fallback content, that's what NOSCRIPT is for.
But that's also another part of my 'issues' with the HTML 5 specifications -- all these other specs that have NOTHING to do with markup being thrown under it's umbrella for no good reason.
Seriously thinking about starting to press forward, and just warn users:You need a modern browser to use this web site
There is a growing number of enlightened people who understand what SVG can bring to the web. The browser vendors are actively adding SVG support for a reason.
I'm all for backwards compatibility, but it's getting to the point where enough is truly enough. Computers are powerful enough to handle most modern browsers now and given the choice I would ditch old browsers and redirect users to a text-only version of a page immediately.
Sadly, like most others, I work for a company that receives a large number of users from dead browsers like IE6, most likely users at work, and ditching old browsers is like ditching 15-20% of users.
A few years ago I thought that we'd have ditched IE6 long ago, even IE7...
Welcome to 1997...
What do I mean by that? Does anyone else here remember the stupid malfing "best viewed in" banners for IE and Netscape?
We REALLY don't need a revisit to those days. It's funny how it's like every new generation of coders wants to do that all over again.
But as always those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it... from adopting and deploying specifications before they are out of Draft (basically IE 5.x/6.x all over again) to bloating out sites with "gee ain't it neat" javascript nonsense that does more harm to a sites traffic and usability, to the repeated "advertising can pay for everything" nonsense... it's been done before, it's failed before, and everyone is lining up to do it again.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a method of separating information about web contents format from the content itself. This has several inherent advantages. First off, and most practically, using CSS will allow you/your webmaster to edit the format of your entire website at once instead of changing every individual page when the sites template changes. This will greatly reduce the cost of updating your website. Another benefit of CSS is that formatting code is kept separately from content. This has the effect of raising keyword density and while making you web page easier (hopefully) to parse for search engines. Furthermore CSS is far more versatile than older table-based designs, allowing web designers greater freedom which in turn raises the quality of sites. <snip/>
DeathShadow - I'm no "old school" programmer or anything but I understand the basics of a few languages.
I certainly do not want to see banners displaying "this website works best in XXXXXXX browser." It sounds like that defeats the whole purpose of having compatible languages. Am I wrong?
The reason I started learning more languages was to make my websites more compatible across browsers. I also wanted to reduce the load time of my pages and reduce the amount of errors.
I'm pretty sure web development should be about making your website work flawlessly across ANY browser. The mobile age is NOW, your websites should be compatible for all viewing sizes!
you all are giving nice reply can any one of you tell me that how can i call css from other file to my website ?
For "near" future, I do see potential commercial site taking advantage of HTML 5 technology. The server can detect what browser is running and be able to serve up specific HTML code. So, this would eliminate the banner "Best viewed on...." Of course this would mean maintaining at least two different view sources. In business world, that's more maintanance cost. It would be tragic if HTML 5 won't be adapted for at least another 5 yrs... and sadly... this is probably true...
I disagree.
This time we're dealing not just with different browsers, but with out-of-date browsers with poor security; browsers that developers and security analysts unanimously agree should have been put out of commission years ago.
I'm not advocating the adoption of standards that aren't set in stone, but what I am advocating is the drop of support for browsers that are no longer supported by their developers. I can understand businesses not ditching them just yet, but on personal sites or at client discretion I have opted to display web pages as plain text for IE6 users, with a message at the top of the page stating why their page has no styling. A lot of clients feel the frustration of having to wait longer for a website to be finished because their site doesn't work on a dead browser and more often than not cheaper prices and speedy deliverables make everyone happy.
In my view, if we don't do this we'll still be developing for IE6 in the next five years.
Glad you brought this one up Mark, it answers my worries. thanks

ANother to vie for the available coaching talent and perhaps slow down the hiring process for the P's. (I'm impatient to know who the coach is gonna be so much rides on his style etc.)
By PETER VECSEY
May 6, 2007 -- Jeff Van Gundy has taken another walk to that celebrated hot-dog stand.
The Post has learned the former Knicks coach, who quit 19 games (10-9) into the '01-'02 season, again is leaving the profession for the foreseeable future, and his decision has nothing to do with last night's Game 7 103-99 playoff elimination home loss to the Jazz.
According to an impeccable source, Van Gundy's mind has been made up for weeks, if not months, to distance himself from the stress of the sidelines regardless of whether Houston got bumped early on or took the season to the championship limit.
It's his choice. Given the Rockets' rude first-round sendoff, the third time in Van Gundy's four-year tour (and sixth of Tracy McGrady's 10-year career), it's highly unlikely owner Les Alexander would choose to re-sign the free-agent control freak, anyway.
As evidenced by how the Jazz beat their opponents to countless rebounds and loose balls, Houston is desperate for livelier bodies and a more "athletically inclined" coach.
In fact, a source reveals Alexander's emissaries already have spoken to at least one targeted replacement. Nevertheless, the timing of Jeff's departure is weird on two counts.
His brother, Stan, who quit as Heat last season, only just resurfaced as a candidate for various openings (Bobcats boss Michael Jordan and GM Bernie Bickerstaff interviewed him last week) throughout the NBA. And guess who was slapping five with Jerry Sloan after last night's upset? Assistant coach Scott Layden, the mortally stunned Knicks president when Jeff Van Gundy abandoned the franchise.

Release Notes: This release fixes a pair of bugs related to email messages with no lines in their bodies. Headers from email messages with no bodies were not being tokenized, and it was possible for a message with invalid MIME headers and no body to lead to a crash.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in decoding malformed base64 encoded data that manifested itself in some architectures. It also corrects a typo in the online help. Some code cleanup and minor performance tweaks were added as well.
Release Notes: Contains all improvements from the 1.3 experimental versions, including tokenization of image attachments to stop content-free image spam, native support for maildir mailboxes, and an online help system. Also includes significant performance improvements, and closes all open bugs from 1.2a.
Release Notes: This release restores the -o suspicious-tags feature that had been accidentally removed in 1.2. It also fixes a text attachment parsing bug introduced in 1.3x1 (text attachments were effectively parsed dozens of times).
Release Notes: This release adds support for the Maildir (qmail) mailbox format, an online help system, and two new commands: create-db and create-dir.
Release Notes: This release fixes a few minor problems in 1.3x1 and improves the source code structure a bit more. It adds a new experimental feature. If configure detects a working libungif and gif_lib.h on the system, it will add support for extracting useful terms from GIF images in email messages. These terms can provide much needed data for email messages that contain nothing but headers and an image attachment.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in the -8 command line option that caused 8 bit characters to be treated as word boundaries.
Release Notes: This release moves all of the improvements from the latest experimental release into the stable release. Major improvements include a newer and more robust email parser and an alternative database format for people who can't use either PBL or BDB. It includes a new email parsing algorithm that improves parsing speed and captures more meaningful terms than the old one. A new auto-train command can be used to build a more optimal starting database than using the spam/good or train-spam/train-good commands.
Release Notes: This release adds the final missing pieces to the new parser code. MBX files and Content-Length headers are now supported. Database cleanup when signals are caught has also been improved.
Release Notes: This release fixes a compilation issue for some versions of libstdc++ that did not provide string::clear().

HOUSTON - A student has been accused of taking a gun to a northwest Harris County high school.
Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District officials said a student at Cypress Creek High School, 9815 Grant Road, was arrested on Monday.
School district officials said a student flashed a .45-caliber gun in class but did not threaten anyone.
The student was taken into custody immediately.
Parents signed up to receive school alerts got emails about the incident, but letters were not sent home with every student.
"I'm pretty appalled by it," parent Sonia Pollock said. "Them not sending something is pretty disturbing."
School district officials said the student, who is a juvenile, has been charged with a felony by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Some students said they were upset by the incident, but they generally feel safe.
"It's a very large campus," said Victor Garibaldi, the managing editor of the school's newspaper. "It's very safe. Like any high school, there comes a time when something happens."
About 3,300 students attend Cypress Creek High School.

A YOUTH club in Colne which nearly shut two years ago has reopened following a major refurbishment.
Waterside Youth Club was severely run down and became unfit to use following a flood in the winter of 2010.
With concerns over a lack of funding, it was feared that the centre could be forced to close.
But at the weekend it reopened its doors to youngsters following a £20,000 restoration.
The effort was a joint project between Asda, Colne Town Council, Pendle Borough Council, Groundwork Pennine Lancashire and Lancashire Police.
Ruth Shorrock, a youth project officer from Groundwork Pennine Lancashire, has been in charge of the project since April.
She said: "It has been great to see the transformation at Waterside Youth Club.
"We will be using every opportunity to utilise the base and serve the local community in the best possible way.
"We will be opening the youth club on at least two evenings a week for people aged between eight and 19.
"Young people will be able to come and relax, play pool or table tennis and take part in a range of activities such as DJing, cooking, gardening and art sessions. In addition to this, we are already delivering a film-making project on Tuesday afternoons.
"And we plan to work with Pendle Leisure Trust to provide football training sessions for both boys and girls."
As well as funding from Colne Town Council and Pendle Borough Council, the Asda Foundation contributed £11,000 to the scheme.
Diane Springthorpe, from Asda in Colne, said: "This has been a real partnership between private, public and community sector organisations.
"All are all keen to make a difference to the lives of young people locally.
"Great work is already under way, but now that the new centre is up and running, we can reach more families and have an impact on more young people."

Hi to all the experts...
This is my first post in backtrack forums.
First of all i want to thank all you guys for providing excellent tutorials.
So to gain some extra knowledge i bought an ASUS 167-G V2. (i did a lot of forums reading for that)
Successfully installed the drivers aftr a lot of trials.
Now at the final step for cracking the passwrd unfortunately i didnt get keys at 10000 IVs.
Now the problem arises--
Suddenly It seems the arps got stucked at 10190 and similarly the data also seems like stucked at 11226. After waiting for a lot of time 15-20 min i saw that the data moved only up 20-30 ivs in 20 minutes, so is the case with arp's. Now I have been waiting for 90 minutes and still it seems like mot going up.
What should be done in that case.
The PWR is almost 100.

Nationals want regulator to oversee supermarketsAdele Ferguson
Published: January 26 2013 - 3:00AM
AUSTRALIA'S supermarket duopoly is expected to come under renewed pressure with Coalition partner the Nationals expected to push next month for a specialist regulator to oversee the industry.
The move comes on the heels of the launch of Britain's first-ever supermarket regulator to be run by a high-profile farming industry executive. There, the new Groceries Code Adjudicator has been given the power to fine the 10 biggest supermarkets if they are deemed to have unfairly treated their suppliers, as outlined in a new code of conduct.
This has reignited debate in Australia about the rising power of the two supermarket giants.
The Nationals plan to include a new regulator as part of an agenda item at a party room meeting on February 1.
The meeting will also discuss reopening an inquiry into the milk industry and the introduction of a grocery ombudsman and a small business and farm tribunal with powers to monitor the behaviour of the supermarket chains.
It comes on the eve of the two-year anniversary of the savage $1-a-litre milk price war between Coles and Woolworths.
A spokesman for Coles said a UK styled ombudsman had no merit and would add red tape and cost without any commitment from retailers or suppliers to work together.
''Coles supports a co-operative approach to retailer and supplier relationships and dispute resolution,'' he said.
Last year the Coalition committed to a root-and-branch review of the supermarket system and competition if elected.
Coles and Woolworths share at least 70 per cent of the grocery market and 55 per cent if fresh produce is included.
The Gillard government has ruled out any legislative changes to curb the supermarket chains' power. Last year it set up a forum to develop a framework for improving relationships between supermarkets and suppliers.
A Woolworths spokeswoman said the retailer had been ''working constructively with the other major retailers, food and grocery manufacturers on an alternative path to an ombudsman''.
Shadow minister for agriculture John Cobb said the supermarkets were marking the anniversary of the milk wars by extending the $1-per-litre milk to their service stations to take market share from the beleaguered corner store and further erode industry sustainability.

A POLICE officer from Pendle was blasted with a sawn-off shotgun leaving her hand a 'bloody and tangled mess', a court heard.
PC Suzanne Hudson, a former Mansfield High student, was gunned down after she knocked on a door in Headingley, Leeds, with colleague PC Richard Whitely, the city's crown court was told.
The officer, from Brierfield, had 80 pellets lodged in her hand and suffered serious injuries to her face and neck including her carotid artery.
She had been investigating an allegation of minor criminal damage when James Leslie, 37, is alleged to have fired the weapon through glass in the door.
Prosecutor Richard Wright QC said Leslie then rode away on a bike, shouting 'do you want some more?' and then swore at them.
He told the court: "He pedalled off up the road but again only after he had paused near to the officers, gun in hand, and shouted to Richard Whitely, who was tending to his injured colleague.
"While Suzanne Hudson was badly injured and bleeding heavily, her partner Richard Whitely has escaped injury by virtue of being behind her and further down the stairs.
"He dragged her away from the flat and made a frantic call for help on his police radio."
The jury was played a recording of PC Whitely's emergency call for help.
The prosecutor said that armed police quickly arrived and PC Hudson was taken to Leeds General Infirmary.
He said she had 'terrible injuries' to her hand. "It was a bloody and tangled mess," he said.
Mr Wright said the officer's carotid artery and jugular vein had to be repaired by a surgeon.
The officer is also a former Nelson and Colne College student who still has family in Nelson and Burnley.
The court heard Leslie was arrested after being spotted at a Subway branch in Leeds.
He was taken to a nearby police station, where it was established that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Mr Wright said Leslie repeated the word 'police' to the officers after they knocked, in what Pc Hudson said was a 'gangster or a street accent'.
He said: "She did not think he was seeking clarification for who it was, she thought he was mocking her."
Mr Wright said PC Hudson was only around 30cm away when she was shot through frosted glass shortly after 4am.
"PC Hudson did not know what had hit her," he said.
"Everything seemed quiet apart from the ringing inside her head. She was disorientated but she did not appreciate that she had been injured.
"PC Whitely grabbed hold of her and dragged her down the stairs and away from the door, back to the front of the building and away from the gunman.
"When she looked at her hand, she saw it was a bloody and tangled mess. But it was not until she heard her colleague transmit a radio message that she knew that she had been shot."
Mr Wright said it was the first time the two officers had worked together.
He told the jury that the 5ft 2in PC Hudson was 'new to frontline policing', having been working in that role for a matter of a few days.
The prosecutor said the two officers did know the gun could not be fired again when Leslie followed them from the flat.
Mr Wright said: "It is simply a matter of luck that the defendant did not kill PC Hudson."
Leslie denies attempted murder.
The trial continues.

Did these guys just get back from Vegas?
They're tired, and now they're gonna be complacent!
We got'em right where we want'em!
ok going to bed and arguing about the fact that i just subscribed for league pass..
that has nothing to do with basketball, that's just lazy, sloppy, live or die with the 3...
So far the Pacers have failed- blame the players and the coach.
So far we are shooting 28.9% and they are shooting 53.7%.
If the percentages reverse in the 2nd half we should be able to win.
Too bad he's on the inactive list..
And where's Roy..
That was the worst half of basketball I've seen in a long time. Pathetic effort all the way around gentlemen, congratulations.
1 a.m. here and I'm watching this crap.
I can't believe this is the same team from Friday and Saturday night.
This game is a mess and we must snap out of it.
The 76ers defense isn't even that good, we're just chucking up anything and letting players score defensively.
Can't wait to read all the fire obie posts tomorrow
Horrible shooting, horrible coaching, horrible effort.
Everyone is sleepwalking today. I think the days off has done us more harm than good lol.
Alright, now it is time for an epic comeback, causing Pacers Digest to drown in Kool-Aid
A few minutes ago i was disappointed I forgot the beginning of the game. Now I'm disappointed I remembered the game at all.
I hope this is a tale of 2 halves, and our guys get the stick out their a$$ .. and flip the light switch on and make this a game , instead of a blowout...
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
Well, at least I got to see some of the Dunleavy team defense everybody talks about
Collison is sucking big time too, Danny needs to go inside or pass the ball, Roy Hibbert needs to show that he can be a beast, Josh is looking horrible today.
Holy **** that was bad. That was some form of torture. Where was McRoberts for like 20 minutes? Did the team go get **** face drunk last night?
Indy .500 isn't so bad.
This is pathetic and inexcusable.
Its only twelve here but after that half it feels alot later! terrible terrible terrible half
they had the same amount of points in the first quarter then we have had in the game
Not a fan of this Kool-Aid metaphor. Got old quick (except for the one with everclear, that never gets old).
flox, I mostly agree with you that it is the player's fault, but there is no way a Jim O'Brien supporter can slice it; James Posey (at the 4 anyways), Dahntay Jones, or Solomon Jones should never be playing on this team, ever. I'm leaning toward that way with TJ Ford too.
Ok I have to turn this off for a minute and relax, my head is going to explode. They are going away from everything they improved on this year, they just simply went away from Roy all together. I know Phila is playing well, but you have to expect that they are going to bring it tonight. It looks like the team is sleep walking. JOB line ups continue to make you scratch your head. WTF?

Customers sometimes ask if they can connect an electronic signature pad to a laptop to sign an Adobe PDF document in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. The answer is yes, you can. However, support for signature pads requires drivers and plug-ins to Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Also, the PDF document must have the necessary usage rights applied in Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES to activate the functionality within Adobe Reader (version 7 of later) that enables users to sign the document.
Adobe lists several partners that support electronic signature pads on the Adobe Security Partner Community. Visit the site and have a look at CIC, Interlink, and SoftPro. These partners provide solutions that can enable you to sign Signature fields in PDF forms.
You can also use a device like a Wacom tablet (not a dedicated signature pad) to sign a PDF document in Acrobat or Adobe Reader. In Adobe Acrobat 9.0 (or later), you can select the Apply Ink Signature option available on the Sign & Certify menu, (Advanced > Sign & Certify), to enable the Pencil commenting tool. With this solution, users can sign or write anywhere in the PDF document. However, the document's integrity is not locked down after the document is signed, like it is when you the use one of the signature pad solutions from one of the providers mentioned above. In Adobe Reader, users can sign the PDF document as long as the necessary functionality is enabled in Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES, and the appropriate plug-in is installed for the signature software that uses the Wacom tablet.

Meet Mike Leyde
California Steel Contractor is First Ever to Best Bejeweled 2
Mike Leyde approached Bejeweled the same was he takes on most other things in life: with dedication, determination and a desire to be the best. So it didn't surprise the 56-year old steel contractor from Riverside, California when he learned he was on the verge of achieving a milestone in PopCap's popular puzzle game that even Bejeweled's creators never thought possible.
On March 23, 2009 Mike became the first person on Earth – and quite possibly the first in the universe – to "beat" Bejeweled 2, a game that hundreds of millions of people have enjoyed but never "completed." Mike achieved the highest score that the game is capable of processing: 2,147,483,647. Yes, you're reading that correctly – after 2,205 hours and 51 minutes, Mike collected his 4,872, 229th gem and his score totaled more than 2.147 BILLION points!
Bejeweled co-creator and PopCap co-founder and chief technology officer Brian Fiete explains, "the highest score the game is capable of calculating is 2,147,483,647; that's 2 to the 31st power minus 1. We had to give the game some sort of maximum displayable score, and figured that was high enough, no one would ever get that many points. When Mike collected that next gem match, the additional 2,200 points would have put his score above the maximum 'calculable' score, and much like some of the original arcade games, it caused his score to 'flip around' to a negative number. Well, the game's code wasn't designed to display a negative number so it just showed a blank where the score should be!"
Having learned this from PopCap as Mike was nearing the highest achievable score, members of Mike's family began celebrating when the score "zeroed out" – while Mike nonchalantly took a call from one of his sons. (This explains why President Obama couldn't get through with his own congratulatory call ;) Over the course of more than three years Mike spent over 2,200 hours – the equivalent of playing for 8 hours a day, five days a week, for an entire year – to reach Bejeweled's highest pinnacle and stand alone as the games top scorer. Other statistics from Mike's record-setting effort include:
Level Attained: 439
Gems collected 4,872,229
Biggest Combo: 270,675
Power Gems Created: 48,519
Hyper Cubes Created: 18,190
"While developing Bejeweled 2, we debated endlessly whether it was even possible to best the 2.147 billion 'maximum' score," John Vechey, another of PopCap's co-founders, reminisced. "We spent hours delving into intricate math equations and even created the ideal 'AI program' to play Bejeweled with a perfect strategy. We deemed it impossible to hit such a high score and thus kept the cap at 2,147,482,575 knowing we were safe. Finally, man has bested machine, jewels, and game developers."
Mike first discovered Bejeweled in 2005 when his son Brian bought the game for him. "I was intrigued at first," Mike recalls. "The game caught my interest and as I started playing I found myself trying to better my score every time I played. After a few months I started to devise a strategy that was working well as long as I was focused on the game and not distracted by a phone call or someone talking to me," he laughs. "I'd generally play the game for an hour or two per day, sometimes longer, depending on what my schedule would allow. I figured this was a marathon, not a sprint; no sense trying to finish the game in a single setting, and since I didn't know what the maximum score might be, I figured I'd better pace myself."
Mike's not a huge video game fan – he cites Tetris, Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper, Video Poker and "the PopCap series of games" as the only ones he plays. "I've watched my kids play the more 'hardcore' games but none of those are really my style," he notes. But Mike's always been a competitive, can-do kind of person. From bowling to golf to stock car racing and city league softball, he says he never takes the challenge at hand lightly. "If you're going to invest time in something, you might as well be as good at it as you possibly can, and I really enjoy the thrill of victory – like when I won my first stock car race or when I bowled a perfect 300 game."
Married for more than thirty years, Mike also excels as a family man and parent and grandparent, spending a lot of time with his three kids and four grandkids and staying in touch with his eight brothers and sisters. "Growing up, we siblings knew that if we couldn't figure something out, Mike could and almost always would," says Mike's sister Jana. "Things that would challenge anyone else just seemed to come easily for Mike, and he's always been driven to succeed, which makes for a powerful combination. He was an excellent chess player in his younger days, finished school early, and so forth. It was fun to watch him set his mind to achieve a goal that most people would just consider impossible, and make it a reality!"
Asked what exactly he likes about Bejeweled, Mike says "Bejeweled and many of the other PopCap games are like never-ending puzzles, a great challenge for the mind and a great source of satisfaction for a challenge overcome." Never-ending for the rest of us perhaps, but not for Mike!

West Side Stories
A Tosa resident for almost 20 years, Karen is a mom and freelance writer, addicted to playing tennis. When not on the tennis court, she spends the fall and winter in the stands at Green Bay Packer and Marquette basketball games.
Karen is the author of "Grab a Bite," a dining out column and the former community columnist for the Wauwatosa NOW newspaper.
The Empty Nest is Full Again
Gosh, it's been a long time. I can't blame you if you've forgotten me - out of "site," out of mind. But I have a good excuse, really. See, I have a couple of new roommates that have kept me a little busy lately. My parents have moved in with us. Yep, we are officially a three-generation household.
Like many families, this happened in a hurry and not necessarily because of happy circumstances. My dad was diagnosed with dementia and my mom has long been battling macular degeneration. Neither can drive and so together, they make for quite a fragile pair. Because they lived in Illinois, I was close enough to visit but not close enough to help manage their lives. I have two siblings that both have very busy full-time jobs. One thing led to another and it seemed most logical for my parents to live with us.
To say this is an adjustment is a gigantic understatement, and not just for me, my husband and my daughter. It's an even bigger adjustment for my parents. Imagine being moved out of your home when you're 81 years old - a home that you liked very much. Some days, I'm amazed that they don't completely lose it and scream about their new surroundings.
Our daughter finished up with her sophomore year of college and came home to find Grandma and Grandpa comfortably lounging on the couch where she enjoyed watching "The Bachelorette" with her friends. Suddenly, she's finding the basement to be a nice, private hideaway.
One of our biggest challenges has been setting up a new network of health care providers for my parents. As is the case with many elders, they loved their doctors back home. So the idea that I could find them comparable medical services here in Wauwatosa seemed incredulous to them. But somehow, we've managed to do exactly that. The main benefit I'm finding is how helpful it is for me to be able to be at every medical appointment with them. I can't imagine how many seniors do this without any help. It must seem daunting to answer questions and remember the many details and medications and instructions that come along with any health care visit.
Along with the challenges of finding new doctors is keeping up with prescriptions and insurance. My husband has been an absolute champ in this department - hours on the phone with providers and wading through piles of paperwork to make sure that all of our health care bases are covered. Seriously, this is not for wimps.
On the plus side, I will tell you that my new roomies have become big fans of Wauwatosa. I've always loved Tosa and have told my parents for many years how great it is. They are from Glenview, IL, which is sort of like Tosa on steroids - slightly bigger and with a lot more money poured into it. (I swear, every other car is a Lexus.) But they too have seen how great Tosa is - they love how clean and pretty it is and they both love our library. (This was a very happy surprise because they came from a community that just recently built a multi-million dollar library.) They also love our restaurants. A few faves that they've enjoyed include: John's Sandwich Shop, Juniper 61, McGinn's and Mo's. My Dad is constantly amazed at what great places we have to eat around every corner.
So we are off on this new family "adventure." No, it isn't all balloons and rainbows, but what new family situation is? (Remember when you brought your newborns home from the hospital? Wasn't easy, was it? This is kind of the same only....more complicated and less portable.)
Life is funny. Our nest had just emptied and now it's full again.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - About half of both whites and blacks believe that racism is a problem in Jacksonville -- the first time in the 27 years Jacksonville Community Council Inc. has asked the question that the percentage of both races was about the same.
In all previous years, blacks perceived racism to be bigger problem than whites.
"Fortunately, this report provides encouragement for those committed to improving lives," the summary of the annual Race Relations Progress Report says. "For example, rates of delinquent youth are decreasing amongst all races, with rates among blacks decreasing more rapidly than rates among whites or Hispanics."
The 2012 report did identify several red flags.
There is a disparity on the number of black students who graduate high school in time -- 73 percent of white students vs. 62 percent of black students -- but the gap is growing smaller.
A related concern is that the rate of blacks 25 years and older who've earned a college degree was about half the white rate.
JCCI also found the unemployment rate for blacks was 54 percent higher than it is for whites in 2011 -- the highest in eight years. The unemployment rate for Hispanics was 28 percent higher than whites.
"I am somewhat surprised that it is over 20 percent for African-Americans," said Julia Henry-Wilson who directs community training and unemployment services for the Jacksonville Urban League. "And it just goes to show that there's a lot of work that needs to be done."
DOCUMENT: Full JCCI 2012 Race Relations Progress Report
Vilma Consuegra, chairwoman of JCCI's review committee, said the issues of education and unemployment must be tackled together.
"You really need that stable employment to facilitate education to facilitate higher education, all which can lead to a higher quality of life," Consuegra said.
The report also found the mortality rate among black infants in 2011 was 12.8 per thousand -- more than four times the 2.8 rate for whites and similar to the infant mortality rate in Libya. According to Florida Department of Health statistics, the death rate for Hispanic infants was 5.5 per thousand.

BURNLEY have the mental strength to cope with tough times in the Premier League, according to co-chairman Mike Garlick.
The Clarets' top flight adventure will draw closer on Wednesday morning with the announcement of the fixtures for the new Premier League season, which kicks off on August 16.
That is something Garlick is relishing but he has warned that the season will be more mentally challenging for the club than the Clarets' promotion campaign.
"I think we know that whatever happens we won't win every game," Garlick said.
"Of course we will go into every game trying to win, but we can't expect that. There might be times when we lose three or four games. Most teams do in that division.
"Everyone at the club – players and fans – has to be prepared for that.
"But we have a good unit and mentally strong players."
Burnley fans will be perusing the fixture list in great detail on Wednesday but the Clarets enjoyed success in the Championship because of Sean Dyche's strict 'game by game' approach – looking no further than the next match at all times.
Garlick says that will again be the mantra in the Premier League.
"I'm looking forward to the fixture list and we'll approach it the same way as last season," he said.
"I know people will be looking at the big games when the fixtures come out, but we will look at who we play on August 16 and keep the same mantra.
"We won't overthink it, we'll approach that first match in the right way and take it from there.
"We will take it one step at a time."
Following their promotion to the top flight, Burnley have received a bye in the League Cup and will not be in the first round draw tomorrow morning.
They will enter the competition in the second round on the week commencing August 25.

Fishing for Walleye
From Outdoor JournalMore on this episode »
At one point walleye were the most popular game fish for recreational anglers in Vermont. A thriving commercial fish market existed for these toothy members of the perch family into the early 1960s, with as many as 65,000 harvested annually. During the late '70s and early '80s the population dwindled and concerns grew that overharvesting or environmental issues were responsible for the decline. In 1984, the Lake Champlain Walleye Association was formed with the goal of restoring, preserving and protecting the walleye fishery in the Lake Champlain Basin. The Association has worked closely with the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife to monitor walleye populations. In the tributaries of Lake Champlain, fish are caught, measured, sexed and some tagged for research purposes. The Department also collects eggs for fertilization. Over the last six years they have collected 64 million walleye eggs, which has resulted in over 40 million fry being stocked in Lake Champlain. The first Saturday in May marks the opening day of walleye season on tributaries flowing into Lake Champlain. Host Lawrence Pyne heads out with walleye enthusiast Cubby Smith on the Lamoille in search of "Old Marble Eyes."

There may be no reason to remember the Titans, but Tennessee rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger did provide a few keepsake moments Friday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
For one, his 64-yard pass to wide receiver Justin Hunter with 2:34 remaining in the second quarter marked his first touchdown toss in the NFL and gave the Titans a short-lived 17-14 lead over the New Orleans Saints, who eventually prevailed 31-24.
Mettenberger, a sixth-round pick from LSU, entered the game on short notice after backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst reinjured his throwing hand when sacked by blitzing Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro.
After a few hurried warmup tosses, Titans' coach Ken Whisenhunt inserted Mettenberger, who promptly drove the Titans 74 yards in four plays for a go-ahead touchdown. Hunter caught the pass in stride between the hash marks at the Saints 45, eluded a fallen defender and ran untouched into the end zone.
"Zach made the throw, and I came through and took it to the house,'' said Hunter, who also caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Jake Locker in the first quarter.
In an otherwise sloppy game, Mettenberger acquitted himself nicely, completing 20 of 25 passes for 269 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception for a 121.5 passer rating. He also lost a fumble in the second quarter.
It was in sharp contrast to his exhibition debut a week ago when he completed four of seven passes for 87 yards and one interception in the fourth quarter of a 20-16 victory against Green Bay.
"I did some good things, and I did a lot of bad things,'' said Mettenberger, who was greeted warmly by the announced sellout crowd of 73,002 that included Gov. Bobby Jindal. "I'm still getting acclimated going against 35-year-old guys who have forgotten more football than I know. But it was good for our No. 2 offense getting a touchdown against their No. 1 defense (on his first possession).
"Then, of all people, my (interception in the fourth quarter) went to Saints (rookie safety) Vinnie Sunseri from Alabama. But getting those reps is real important. Last week I only got 16, but this week I was out there for a long time. And it will help me to watch tape on myself from this game and try to fix the negative things I did to play better for next week's game against Atlanta.''
Whether Mettenberger's performance is enough to move him past Whitehurst on the Titans' depth chart remains to be seen. Most observers see this season as a likely redshirt year for Mettenberger, whose draft stock took a huge hit after he suffered a torn ACL and a grade three MCL tear in his left knee against Arkansas in the Tigers' last game of the regular season.
Now eight months after surgery, Mettenberger is making a case to back up Locker.
"It was a pleasant surprise hearing the cheers from the crowd,'' Mettenberger said. "It's great to be well liked in Louisiana, that's for sure, and I loved it. As a matter of fact, we were out there in the shotgun doing regular cadence. We had to go to silent cadence because it was so loud out there. It's great to be back and playing in front of Louisiana fans.''
Though Mettenberger made mistakes Friday night, Whisenhunt seemed encouraged by the progress of his young quarterback.
"You can tell we got a chance with Zach,'' Whisenhunt said. "He's done a nice job in there for us in both games. It's a long process for a young quarterback. We got to get some things cleaned up, but the experience that he got in there tonight is invaluable for him.''

Katharine Houghton Hepburn was born on May 12, 1907, in Hartford, CT, at 22 Hudson Street, which was then opposite the Hartford Hospital. Her mother, Katharine Martha Houghton, was a strong willed and intelligent feminist and suffragist. Her father, Thomas Norval Hepburn, was a doctor who fought for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Both of Hepburn's parents were strong advocates of birth control. Katharine credited her parents for her sense of adventure and independence.
Hepburn had five siblings, Tom (b. 1905), Dick (b. 1911), Bob (b. 1913), Marion (b. 1918) and Peg (b. 1920). In 1921, Katharine found her beloved brother Tom hanging by the neck in their aunt's attic while on a visit. It was never determined whether his death was a suicide or a stunt gone wrong, but his death was terribly traumatic for young Katharine, and would haunt her for years.
Hepburn attended Bryn Mawr College, graduating in 1928. While in college, she met Ludlow Ogden Smith, who she married in 1928 (and later divorced in 1934). Also at Bryn Mawr, she became active in theatrical productions, and after her senior year she appeared in two productions in Baltimore. That same year, she moved to New York to begin training as an actor, and appeared in her first New York production, The Big Pond. Although she was fired from that show after only one night, she soon found regular work on Broadway.
In 1932, Hepburn appeared on Broadway in The Warrior's Husband. Her performance was well received, and led to several screen tests, and eventually to a role in the 1932 film A Bill of Divorcement. Hepburn received excellent notices for her performance in this film. A string of films followed in the 1930s, including Morning Glory, her third film, for which Hepburn received her first Academy Award for Best Actress.
In 1933 Hepburn returned to New York to star in the Broadway production of The Lake, which turned out to be a critical and commercial failure. Upon her return to Hollywood, she starred in a string of films of varying quality and success, and by 1938 she was labeled "box office poison" by exhibitors who claimed that people weren't paying to see her films.
In 1939 Hepburn again returned to New York to star on Broadway, this time in The Philadelphia Story as Tracy Lord, a role playwright Philip Barry had written for her. The play was a tremendous success, and Hepburn, who owned the film rights (Howard Hughes had bought them for her), sold them to L.B. Mayer and MGM on the condition that she would star. The movie, like the play, was successful, earning Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart Academy Award nominations (Stewart won).
Hepburn's next film was Woman of the Year, her first pairing with Spencer Tracy. Hepburn and Tracy would go on to star together in nine films, and would carry on a love affair for 27 years.
In the 1940s and 50s, Hepburn continued to appear in films and on stage. In these two decades, she received seven Academy Award nominations, and won two Oscars for Best Actress, for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and The Lion in Winter. On the London stage, she appeared in three Shakespeare plays in 1955, and toured with them in Australia. In 1957 and 1960 she appeared in four more Shakespeare productions in Stratford, CT.
In 1969 Hepburn took a risk by starring on Broadway in Coco, a musical about the life of Coco Chanel. Despite Hepburn's worries about her singing voice, Coco had a successful run on Broadway. Throughout the 1970s, Hepburn appeared in several television movies, including Love Among the Ruins in 1975 with Laurence Olivier, for which she won an Emmy Award. In 1979 she was awarded the Screen Actor's Guild Lifetime Achievement Award.
Hepburn's record fourth Academy Award for Best Actress was achieved for her work in the 1981 film On Golden Pond, co-starring Henry Fonda. Hepburn's last film work was a brief appearance in the 1994 film Love Affair. In 1991, Hepburn published an autobiography entitled "Me: Stories of My Life," which gave a rare glimpse into her personal as well as her professional life.
Hepburn was romantically linked to several men throughout her life. She had relationships with Hollywood agent Leland Hayward and multimillionaire Howard Hughes in the 1930s. However, her romance with Spencer Tracy was clearly her most important relationship. The two never married, due to the fact that Tracy was already married, and, because he was Catholic, couldn't divorce. However, they were together for almost three decades, frequently working and living together, and Hepburn admits that she loved him.
Katharine Hepburn continued to be active even in her old age, riding her bicycle and swimming in the ocean near her house in Old Saybrook, CT. While she was always somewhat reclusive, she appeared in public less and less as she grew older. The last few years of her life, with her health declining, she generally remained at home. Katharine Hepburn died in her home, surrounded by loved ones, on June 29, 2003, at the age of 96.
