CAC presents its 2017 Annual Juried Membership Exhibition on view at Mary Tomás Gallery in the Dallas Design District. The show opens on Saturday, August 5th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm and closes on September 2nd.
CAC often hosts exhibitions for community groups or schools as well as hosting our own department shows. In the past, we have hosted art shows for organizations representing homeless people, senior living centers, schools and people with mental illnesses. Our objective is to provide community awareness of social issues in which art can make an impact. Coming this summer: Unseenamerica, a photography show featuring the work of our talented 2016-17 unseenamerica class from nearby Bayles Elementary as well as The Bridge's annual show "On the Street", featuring the art of homeless Dallas citizens.
CAC has a non-collecting exhibition space featuring four department exhibitions per year. Demonstrating the breadth and depth of our arts education programming, the exhibitions include work of teaching artists as well as students.
Now in its 10th year, Camp MetalHead is a free six-week summer camp that provides relevant job skills training and quality arts instruction in metal arts and metalsmithing. Geared toward at-risk teens ages 13 to 17, Camp MetalHead includes welding instruction through metal art and jewelry classes. The focus is on skills such as shop safety through the use of tools like oxyacetylene torches, arc welders, pneumatic hammers, jewelry torches, grinders, sandblasters, polishers and other tools. It is an opportunity for these teens to learn practical and impressive job skills through fun, artistic expression. This summer we are also hosting a dedicated camp for students from Cafe Momentum, a restaurant training platform serving post-release juvenile offenders that provides a paid internship, life skills training and other social services.
Many thanks to our funders and supporters, including the Texas Commission on the Arts, the George & Fay Young Foundation, the Thomas Charitable Trust, Fossil, ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program and the Mayor's Intern Fellows Program. Also, a special thanks to our in-kind food supporters including Two Sister's Catering, McCalister's Deli, Hunger Busters, Empire Bakery, Panera Bread, Chipotle, Zoe's Kitchen, Sprouts, Whole Foods, Del Norte Bakery and Nothing Bundt Cakes.
Art as a Second Language is a series of free family-friendly art activities led by instructors from the Creative Arts Center of Dallas throughout the year at various venues, including the Dallas Arboretum, Klyde Warren Park and NorthPark Center. Catch us at Klyde Warren Park Sun, June 11 from 2 to 4pm and at NorthPark's ArtRocks event Sat, June 10 from 1 to 4pm celebrating the work of Jackson Pollock.
Unseenamerica is an eight week curriculum-based free program that teaches digital photography and culminates in a wide-reaching exhibition for underserved youth and teens with the purpose of giving the students a voice in their community. The program has included 3rd, 4th and 5th grades from children at Bayles Elementary as well as teens from Youth First Texas, now a program of the Resource Center serving gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender youth.
Unseenamerica is modeled on a program which originated in New York, under the Bread and Roses, the cultural arm of the largest labor union in the country. Exhibitions have traveled throughout the community, including schools, churches, libraries and galleries. Through the guidance of a professional photographer and the lens of donated cameras, this inspiring collection of photographs serves as testimony to their unseen lives of the participants.
This program is currently underway at Bayles Elementary for ten 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. It will culminate in an exhibition of their work in the spring of 2017.
ArtAbility is a pilot program that provides free studio opportunities and arts instruction to teens and young adults with developmental and intellectual challenges. This program is led by trained artists in the community and focuses on self-expression, self-awareness, personal growth and professional experience and exposure. The intention is to enhance development, independence and productivity to create an improved quality of life, better self-esteem, social skills and professional representation in the art community for this population. Fundamentally, this program is about changing perceptions of special needs and showing that each person has something important that they feel and want to communicate.
There will be three ArtAbility workshops this summer all held on Saturdays from 2 to 4pm: June 17; July 29; and August 19. Class size is limited; for more information or to reserve a spot, call 214-320-1275.

THE Magpies took their fourth point of the season from Sutton United after this goalless draw at the Avenue Stadium.
Sutton carved out the majority of goal attempts but found keeper Alan Walker-Harris and his reshuffled defence, without the injured Mark Jermyn, in determined mood.
Exeter loanee Elliott Chamberlain made his first start for the club, following his arrival from the Grecians and it was the Magpies who settled first.
Jamie Gleeson went close to opening the scoring in just the fourth minute but his 25-yard drive whistled just past the post.
Shortly after, a foul by Damian Scannell on Sam Lanahan conceded a free-kick which Charlie Losasso took from a wide right position but the U's keeper Jason Brown made a comfortable save.
After that, it was largely one way traffic in terms of scoring opportunities. James Taylor raced on to a through ball but Walker-Harris clawed aside his shot. The loose ball fell for Craig Dundas, whose looping header was fortunately directed straight back to the out of position keeper.
A drive from Gavin McCallum was scooped up at his near post by the Dorchester gloveman who then pushed away a thunderous effort from Taylor and also a follow-up shot.
At the other end, Ryan Case tried his luck from 40 yards but the ball flew wide of the target.
Walker-Harris was called back into action six minutes from the interval when McCallum again forced a near post save.
Another punched clearance fell to Scannell, whose hooked effort veered wide.
In first half stoppage time, the Magpies' keeper again opted to punch clear a free-kick from Scannell. The ball was returned to the penalty area by Lee Sawyer and met by Louis John whose side-foot attempt was intercepted by Jake McCarthy.
It was much the same story after the break with Sutton squandering chances and Dor-chester defending superbly.
Spillane was first to try his luck with a 47th minute shot from 18 yards, which was gathered by Walker-Harris. The Sutton man then picked up a clearance from Walker but hit his effort wide.
McCarthy was well placed to block a shot from Taylor while Dale Binns fired high and wide.
A free-kick from Taylor was then met by Will Spetch who headed straight into the arms of Walker-Harris.
Dorchester fans gathered behind Brown's goal were seeing very little close up action but a right-wing cross from Case found Warren Byerley whose header was caught by the Sutton keeper.
But it was the visitors who went closest to grabbing victory when Walker-Harris again pushed away a Scannell drive and the loose ball fell for Sawyer whose goalbound shot was cleared off the line by Walker.
Substitute Kane Haysman sent a 20-yard effort over the crossbar, Binns had a header blocked and John glanced wide as Sutton upped the pressure.
A fierce shot from Dundas was parried by Walker-Harris but Haysman could only despatch the ball wide.
The Magpies held on and even enjoyed the last shot of the game but a free-kick from Case in the third minute of stoppage time was aimed too close to Brown.
Magpies: Walker-Harris 9, Case 7, Smeeton 8, McCarthy 8, N Walker 8, Lanahan 7, Crittenden 8 (Twyford 83), Gleeson 7, Chamberlain 6 (S Walker 90+3), Byerley 6, Losasso 6. Subs not used: Makoni, Munday, Way.
Sutton: Brown, John, Binns, Spillane, Downer, Spetch, Scanell, Sawyer (Haysman 76), Dundas, Taylor, McCallum (Sinclair 61). Subs not used: Cole, Lovelock.
Bookings – Magpies: N Walker (foul, 64) Sutton: Spillane (ungentlemanly conduct, 71), Scanell (foul, 69), Sinclair (foul, 67).
Referee: Andrew Laver (Portsmouth)
Attendance: 456

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me figure out why my html include was not working. In a previous thread, a while ago, I was told one can include html from another file using the following syntax: <!--#include virtual="pathToFile.html" -->
Is that I am trying to use html includes in the following, and much simpler example, but the point is that they don't seem to be working.
I have an index.html, which has the following syntax and a live copy is up here:
<!Doctype HTML>
<html lang="en">
<title>Red bg on no script</title>
<!--#include virtual="include.html" -->
and the file it includes is up here and the contents of that file is:
<style type="text/css">
So when one views index.html, shouldn't the include be included and the body's background be set to red?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
What programming language are you using for the include?
What happens if you change the file extension to .shtml as in index.shtml
Basically, you have to be sure that your server is set up to process SSI, then you have to tell it to look for includes by using the correct file extension.
A nicer solution (IMHO) is to use PHP includes, but your pages need to have a .php extension (well, you can avoid that, but there's not much point generally). Anyhow, try what imaginekitty suggests anyway, so you at least know what the issue is.
@kohoutek: just normal html.
I don't know, i will try it tomorrow.
But isn't it already looking for the correct file-extension ?The suggestion you made applies to the file calling the include (index.html in my example) not the file to be included (include.html), right?@ralph_m: What does IMHO mean? wait, a file using php includes can not have a .php extension?
Wait, what? ?? If you have a php file but you call it index.html it just serves it without processing it because the server doesn't know to process it as a php file. Same thing with SSI. It doesn't know to use includes because you didn't use the proper file extension. It's just serving it as is.
Wait, what? ??
IMHO, it means In My Humble Opinion. Get with the web lingo, man! :lol: (It's all kinda new to me, I admit. Too old for this kid talk. )
wait, a file using php includes can not have a .php extension?
You can tell your server to process PHP in .html files by adding this to your .htaccess file:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
I was going to see if SSI works and then pop a php_info (); on him.
Ultimately, above either, my suggestion would be ASP.NET MasterPages but it may not be necessary.
Me too - but you can look trendy with the help of http://www.acronymdb.com/ :D[/ot]
I have no idea What I meant. I think it was a confusing way to ask the second question I asked you (confirmation on which file will have the .shtml extension).
Haha. I know that feeling. I found abbreviations and emoticons for things/words ive never heard of. Idk, btw,and ttyl are enough for me.
wait, wouldn't that prevent the server from processing PHP in .php files? Or should the line be:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html, .php
Haha nice. Thank you for the link @TechnoBear— ill have to take a look at that!
Btw, how do you do the off topic highlight? I have seen it a few times on the forums, but never asked how to do it.
Ah. The calling file should have the special file extension. The include file can be anything, even .txt or .inc or .blah, as long as it matches the file in the include statement.
You wrap it in [ot] opening and closing tags which, AFAIK (= as far as I know :lol:) you need to type yourself - there isn't a button.
Tomorrow was yesterday. Ahoy, ahoy?
Apologies, I had a busy weekend and I guess I went a little too off topic. Speaking on which, thank you @TechnoBear for teaching me how to highlight off-topic (parts of) posts.
Back on topic, i tried changing index.html to index.shtml and opened it again in chrome and the background was not red. So that means that the include did not work properly, right?
Here are new links to the files as I changed the extension of index.html to index.shtml (so the old links won't work):1.) index.shtml2.) include.html
Sorry for keeping you, @imaginekitty waiting much longer than it should have been .
Ain't no thing.
OK, see it does work on my server: http://imaginekitty.com/team1504.shtml (I made no changes except for the file names)
Is dropbox.com your only host? You'll have to use a proper host to get such functionality.
I doubt they offer PHP but try making a page called test.php and make the contents of the file exactly this:
<?php php_info() ?>
Upload it and go to that page using your browser to see if it works.
it doesn't work. Dropbox doesn't support PHP. But if it works now on your sever then I trust that it will work on my actual server.
Once i make the changes and upload the site, if i have questions, do you mind if i PM you?
Also if and when @ralph_m is online can he or anyone else answer my question on the line to add to the .htacess file to get php parsed in .html files?Here it is again:
I don't think you really want .html files parsed as PHP. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
well i just wanted to know how to do the .htacess change properly for learning sake.
But why wouldn't i? I know that you be a dangerous questions to ask, but it seems like an okay solution.
i think a bad thing about it is that i have to change the .htacess file.Meaning, my HTML document will be parsed as html, as html in a php document outside of the <?php ?> tags is, and the includes will be parsed as PHP— i don't see any issues with that.
I probably shouldn't make comments on stuff I don't understand well enough. :lol: That line used to work for me when I had PHP on a .html page (for testing only, as I don't do it in real life) but on my new server it doesn't work, so so much for that. I gather different servers require different .htaccess code, but none of the ones I've seen work on my new server (I've just tested them). So now I can't test whether not having the .php in the htaccess rule stops PHP working on .php pages or not. Sorry!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/7/2013 (1512 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MONTREAL -- Montreal Alouettes tailback Brandon Whittaker will make his long-awaited return to the Als lineup when Montreal hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Stade Percival Molson here Thursday night.
Whittaker has not played since he tore his ACL last September, but will return just in time to face a Bombers team against whom he had 235 combined yards in a single game here last July.
"I'm ready to go," Whittaker told reporters Wednesday afternoon following his club's light practice at Olympic Stadium, where the Als always hold their day-before walk-throughs.
"Everything feels good. The body feels good, the knee's been reacting well. So yeah, I'm ready to go."
The return of Whittaker and fullback Patrick Lavoie to the Montreal lineup this week pose additional headaches for a Bombers team that was already on the losing end of the scoreboard when the two clubs faced each other in Winnipeg last week.
"I think they're both key elements of that offence," Bombers head coach Tim Burke said Wednesday afternoon shortly after his team's arrival at a downtown hotel. "Certainly if Brandon is back like he was before, he could be the best running back in the league."
Burke interrupted a reporter who harkened back to Whittaker's dominating performance against the Bombers on July 6, 2012, when he ran for 98 yards and caught 11 passes for another 137 yards more and two TDs.
"I seem to remember that," laughed Burke, who was the Bombers defensive coordinator at the time. "Definitely we're aware of what they did a year ago...You always have to know where Whittaker is."
The Bombers also released their depth chart for tomorrow's game earlier today. There were no surprises: Going on the 46-man roster is DL Zach Anderson, LB James Green, WR Doug Pierce and DL Jake Thomas and coming off are OL Andre Douglas, DL JT Gilmore, DB Jeremy McGee and LB Rene Stephan.

"Historically we have had the most overnight visitation in the Texas State Park system," says Assistant Park Superintendent David Allen. "It's one of the most beautiful locations in Texas. We are a bit of a long drive, but that's one of the things people like about us." Texas Parks and Wildlife is now at work ensuring that favored status extends to future generations with projects that include restoring and renovating Garner's historic Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) cabins, built in 1938-39, and repairing all the park's screen shelters. Thanks to bond funding authorized by the Texas Legislature and approved by statewide voters, TPWD has started on four of the park's 17 cabins, with the rest to follow until all are done. Work is already completed on 15 of the park's 47 screen shelters. After the summer season, work will resume on the screen shelters and begin on the replacement of a Rock Beach comfort station. In all, about $4 million in improvements are planned for Garner, adding another checkmark to a long list of major Texas State Parks rejuvenation projects underway this year, all aimed at keeping the parks fun, safe and customer friendly. Texas State Parks general obligation bonds have been sold to fund more than $44 million in repairs and renovations to park cabins, bathrooms, electrical and water systems, and other state park infrastructure. Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas. For decades, countless Texas young people have formed fond Garner memories out of hot days floating in tubes on the Frio River, nervous evenings flirting with a new summer sweetheart at the jukebox dance, and wonderfully quiet nights sleeping with their families in a rustic Garner cabin or a screen shelter. "The cabins are booked solid," says Park Superintendent Rick Meyers. "The CCC cabins have fireplaces. They rent up from right after Thanksgiving to the end of February." Of the 17 cabins, 13 are original CCC-built structures of native Texas rock and local hardwoods. Crews have already started on the four non-CCC cabins. Region 3 program manager Jeff Johnson says all the cabins are to be completed by mid-summer, 2011. The four non-CCC cabins, built much later, were in bad condition, Meyers says. "Rotten wood, thousands of bats in the attic, a bad odor, a lot of rock squirrel damage, slabs cracked, pipes stopped up, electrical systems that still had old cloth wrappings around them. We haven't gotten into the CCC buildings yet, so we don't know what we're faced with." The CCC cabins are being renovated with great respect for their history. "We're saving or reusing as much of the architectural fabric as possible, and seeing that new materials are appropriate to the era," Johnson says. "A lot of renovation happened between the 1930s and now. We are trying to remove those mistakes and take the cabins back to a state respectful of their 1930s condition." In a concurrent but separately-funded project, the cabin contents also are getting a major makeover. "They have found historical photos from inside the cabins," Johnson says. "The TPWD wood shop is currently building completely new period furnishings and interior treatments to go in those cabins as soon as we are done. They're going to be magnificent." When done, two of the cabins will be Americans with Disabilities Act compliant. The screen shelters are simple rectangles with wood and screen sides and a picnic table inside. They can be significantly altered, so 11 will be reworked to ADA standards. The cabins and five of the shelters are located in the park's original section, known as Old Garner, near the Oakmont Camp Loop. The rest of the shelters are in the River Crossing camp area along the Frio River. Work on the new comfort station (TPWD's name for a restroom without showers) also is to begin after the summer season. It will be located in the popular Rock Beach area of Old Garner. The all new structure will replace a station that was beyond repair. It will have much-needed changing rooms and, since it is located in a flood plain, it will be built on concrete piers. Another project, the repair and upgrading of electrical and water systems in Live Oak Campground, has already been completed. As the park website points out, Garner is a place of "deep canyons, crystal-clear streams, high mesas, and carved limestone cliffs". Since the park is consistently busy, it is fortunate also to be large. A Feb. 24 acquisition of 177 acres (including Old Baldy, a bluff most visitors assumed was already part of Garner), increased the park to almost 1,600 acres of gorgeous Edwards Escarpment land. "We probably use 700-800 acres for just our camping area, so people are not stacked up on top of each other," says Allen. "We've got excellent hiking trails that can get you back and away from everything. You don't have airplanes flying over every day. You don't see a lot of people on the roads. We just don't have the hustle and bustle of a lot of places." While the Frio is the major summer attraction, drawing vacationing families and college students, spring and fall brings a different crowd for hiking, biking, birding and wildlife watching. Garner is located 8 miles north of Concan and 90 miles west of San Antonio. For more information on the park, call 830/232-6132.

It's the fourth of July, a day for shorts, fireworks, burgers and red, white and blue desserts, all in the name of independence. That flag cake, the one with the stars and stripes represented by strawberries and blueberries, it's a bit overdone, wouldn't you say? And it kind of takes a long time to place all of those berries in perfect lines. Update your standard July 4 dessert this year with a super-fast, no-cook red-white-and-blue treat that you can make in about 7 minutes.
And if you're loyal to the flag cake, these little berries play well with others, so serve them alongside.
Mascarpone-Stuffed Strawberries
5 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Juice of one lemon
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 quart strawberries
1 pint blueberries
Wash the blueberries and pat dry with paper towel. Wash and hull the strawberries, pat dry. Slice off the bottom of each strawberry to make a flat end. This allows the strawberries to stand upright on a platter.
Mix together the marscarpone cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spoon the mixture into a resealable bag and snip off one of the corners of the bag (you can also use a pastry bag). Pipe the marscarpone filling into the cavity of each strawberry and top with a blueberry.

2. Set IHS to compress (gzip) content so that it travels the network efficiently
3. Use mod_disk_cache to cache statics and off-load the Portal servers of this work.
So, I've attached a copy of my httpd.conf that I use in my cluster to do all three. If you use my copy, you still need to adapt it to your specific setup, but it should get your started.
There is one line like this: "CacheEnable disk /". That simply means "cache everything". Normally, you would not want to cache anything that starts with "my" such as /wps/myportal or /wps/myContentHandler". But Portal places a "pragma no-cache" stanza along with a "cache-control: no-cache" in content that is not allowed to be cached.
Another common question is "how do I know content is caching in IHS? A simple trick is to place the following stanza in the LogFormat option: "Age in Cache: %{Age}o". This will print the age of the content in the cache (in the access_log). If the content is served from the Portal, there is no "Age" header and this you will see "Age in Cache: -". When the content is server from the IHS cache, you will see the "-" replaced by the age of the content in the IHS cache (in seconds).
Note also that when using the reverse proxy cache (like I have done here), that you would normally use htcacheclean to insure that your cache doesn't get too large or that stale entries are periodically removed from the disk. I have put the following in a cron job to do just that:
0 1 * * * /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/htcacheclean -n -t -p/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/cache -l10M >/dev/null 2>&1 # Clean up the IHS cache, to a max of 10Meg
This runs every night to force the cache to occupy no more than 10Meg of space.
There was a bug in mod_cache whereby s-maxage was not honored when making caching decisions. However, IHS has a post-2.2.8 s-maxage fix (PK98225) that resolve this.
Performance: I recently read a blog article that shows that when using Linux (ext3/4) as your IHS mod_disk_cache OS, you can see performance improvements by using "noatime and data=writeback" as fstab options. Linked here is the blog article.

Bad version despite correct version?
Here is the most comprehensive list of things I have tried:
- I am seeing a red circle next to the server hosted by some friends of
mine, and receiving the bad version error message.
-My version is correct (apparently the same as others that can connect,
though im not sure how I would change version as steam handles updates)
-I am definitely not in the dev build mode ('none' selected).
-I have verified game files
-I have opened ports
-I have reinstalled from the supplied disk
-I have deleted everything and reinstalled via download from steam
-This issue was present vanilla arma 3.
-Tried installing addons and then disabling them and also deleting them
-Other servers display green as they should. Some show orange circles/red
-The server has been reset and tested with battleye disabled
-Server files reinstalled and it is running vanilla
More information: I bought the game recently, and the server was working
fine up until a couple days ago.
I assume the issue is something to do with me, as everybody else I have
asked can still connect to the specified server ('RPS ARMA 3').
Its odd, in the bottom right where addons would be listed, arma 3 is showing
in red, which almost suggests that it thinks arma 3 is an addon i dont
have.... though I am running vanilla arma 3 in the first place.
Anybody know a fix to this?

I meant to ask you this yesterday, have you tried connecting to the Folkarps server? Also can you ask server admin to peak at their log files to see if there is a more enlightening message?
isnt folkrps running addons?
Also, I have access to serverside, but im not exactly all that sure what to look for.
This is the contents of the connection log file:
[2013-12-04 22:37:31] Log session started
[2013-12-04 22:37:31] [0,0] SetSteamID( [A:1:0:0] )

[2013-12-04 22:43:05] [1,2] RecvMsgClientLogOnResponse() : [A:1:1280361472:3817] 'OK'
Not very informative to my eyes.
Im not sure where else to look in the files to get anything more.
A more comprehensive list of what ive tried added to OP ^.

If the server's Red Circle = check what version it's running and check what version you're running. 90% it's not gonna be the same.
-I am definitely not in the dev build mode ('none' selected).
Hah, welcome to ARMA on steam. You can be on DEV build even if you have none selected.
-I have deleted everything and reinstalled via download from steam
Did you just delete the folder, use "delete local" on steam or uninstall via the control panel?
Do a proper uninstall via the CP, manually delete ALL folders the game has created (in Users/roaming or local or w/e, your documents and the normal install place), remove any register keys regarding the game and restart your computer.
Now: install the game via steam, once it's installed - launch it once and check what version it says at the main menu.
Make sure you, your friends and the server are all running that version. Also check that the server doesn't have any mods hidden in the /servermods folder or that it's whitelisting (checking for Bisign and BiKey's. It shouldn't.).
-Other servers display green as they should. Some show orange circles/red
Have you tried connecting to one that's green? Did that work?
-Server files reinstalled and it is running vanilla
Just removed and redownloaded or properly uninstalled and deleted?
And do what Bodge said, try connecting to Folk ARPS' A3 server after you've done the clean install.
If that works, your A3 Vanilla install is all good.
My version is the same as other members who can connect, so if they can join, the version should be fine. 1.06.112613
If there is a way to definitively fix this, please do tell :).
Second time I deleted the arma files in documents and made sure the steam files were gone.
I havent done an uninstall via CP, but I can try that I suppose. Im assuming reinstall via disk should be fine, as id rather not have to do another fucking long download.
Register keys, though? Ive not done this. I suppose it would be worth checking.
There is, however, an a3.bikey file.
So I guess my version is correct... Now to figure out why the RPS server doesnt think im running the correct version?
Could it be something to do with my registry/install, or the bikey file, or something else entirely?
Thanks for helping out, by the way, I appreciate it.

Greer, SC – The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) had a significant increase in passenger traffic for the third consecutive month.
GSP is seeing a steady rise in passenger traffic from 140,000 passengers in March to the more than 155,000 passengers in April and now nearly 163,000 passengers in May! That number is up over 48 percent above May 2010 causing this to be the second best May in Airport history. In fact, passenger traffic percentages at the airport have been on the rise since December 2010.
Lower fares and more destinations coupled with the start of summer has heightened passenger traffic and across the board, almost every airline operating out of GSP saw a significant increase in passenger enplanements.

Morning skates are dull. I already knew that, but it's been a while (since the Bryan Trottier regime) since I attended one on the road.
The big news? Well, Daniel Alfredsson said he did suffer a concussion, and the Senators are not ruling out that he will play in Game 3. It's game-time decision.
John Tortorella said he didn't know who will be in the lineup in place of Carl Hagelin tonight. Which means he knows but he's not saying. The possibilities: Kreider, John Scott, or one of the extra d-men, Steve Eminger or Jeff Woywitka, play and Stu Bickel moves up to forwards. But Bickel dressed as a D during the skate, and Eminger was the last player off the ice, so that seems unlikely.
I think it will be Kreider, making his pro debut … but it's entirely possible, with all the bad blood, that Scott gets a few shifts. Either way, I think Ruslan Fedotenko moves up to the Brad Richards-Marian Gaborik line, where he practiced yesterday … and where the Senators had him on their lockerroom grease board.
For laughs, here's the coach's presser:

Analysis of how the Ashes captains manouvred their bowling attacks, and when wickets were taken, reveals how comprehensively Michael Clarke outwitted Alastair Cook.
England lost the Ashes in a series of ruinous batting collapses: 6 for 9 and 7 for 49 in Brisbane; 6 for 24 in Adelaide; 6 for 61 in Perth; 6 for 53 and 5 for 6 in Melbourne; and 5 for 17 and 4 for 8 in Sydney.
Losing wickets in clusters is devastating for a team, and gathers a life of its own in despair and panic. But it is only a consequence. What was the cause of England's propensity to lose wickets in a rush?
One factor was Clarke's clever manipulation of his attack. The contrasting overall impression of the two leaders, of Clarke rotating and reshuffling his bowlers with the hyperkinetic intensity of a New Delhi street cop while Cook passively let matches drift by, is not really borne out by the gross numbers. As the table shows, in the five Test matches Clarke only changed his bowlers with marginally greater frequency than Cook, once every 4.3 overs compared with once every 4.2.
What that figure hides is when the changes happened, and how strategic was Clarke's thinking. In the first three Tests, on the best batting wickets of the series, Clarke changed his bowlers 25 per cent more frequently than Cook. While Cook followed old formulae of giving Graeme Swann and James Anderson very long spells, Clarke was unafraid to shift his bowlers about, not just when they were not taking wickets but even when they were. In fact, a lot of his captaincy was counter-intuitive, often removing bowlers or their partners once a wicket had fallen. Cook, by contrast, kept faith in his stalwarts even when it became clear that they were not obtaining the movement that made them so dangerous in the past. The longer Anderson and Swann went without taking wickets, the longer Cook kept them on. The distribution of overs among the Englishmen by the end of each innings looked neat, precise and utterly pre-determined.
In each of those first three matches, England bowled roughly the same number of overs, 191 to 197. Only in the furnace of Perth did Cook rouse himself to change his bowlers more, but even then it was a minor adaptation, down below once every five overs for the first time. Clarke, by contrast, changed his bowlers every 3.4 overs in Perth, recognising the effect of the heat. Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris were kept fresh, but so were Australia's support bowlers. The two teams bowled the same number of overs in the Perth Test, but Clarke, with 52 bowling changes to Cook's 42, was considerably kinder to his men.
By Melbourne, when the Ashes were lost, Cook woke up to Clarke's tactics and tried to emulate them. In the MCG and SCG Tests, the balance shifted, and Cook changed his bowlers far more often than Clarke. But here was another example of how Cook was following schedules while Clarke was responding to conditions. Melbourne and Sydney were poorer batting wickets than Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Clarke recognised that these matches were going to be shorter, wickets would fall more frequently, and the weather was considerably gentler. He was also less able to depend on Shane Watson to relieve the frontline seamers. If anything, Cook's over-compensation in Melbourne and Sydney cost him as dearly as his inertia in the first three matches, though, to be fair, he was not helped by Swann's retirement. The futility of his attempt to copy Clarke was revealed on the fourth day in Melbourne, when Stuart Broad was in full flight and about to create havoc when Cook took him off after only two overs, saying he wanted to save him for when the ball got more roughed-up for reverse swing. By the time Broad came back, the match was gone. Just as he had failed through inflexibility earlier in the series, Cook was now failing through over-tricky over-thinking.
A telling impact of Clarke's changes, whether he did it rapidly in the early Tests or more patiently in the later ones, was how often wickets were taken by refreshed bowlers early in their spells. During the series, Australian bowlers took a wicket in the first over of a new spell 24 times, compared to England's 13. In all, an astonishing 48 of the 100 wickets the Australian bowlers took came in the first or second over of a new spell. This reflects the success of Clarke's tactics, and also the skill of those bowlers in hitting their line and length immediately. Mitchell Johnson's Adelaide dismissals of Alastair Cook and Harris's first-baller of the English captain in Perth were the headline moments; but they signified a general capacity to rip in from the outset, without "looseners". Because they were not given long rests between their bowling spells, of course, they needed less time to warm up.
The Australians talked a great deal about bowling in partnerships, but the most productive of them was an unexpected one. Johnson and Harris captured more than half the English wickets, but not necessarily while bowling together. Johnson took 20 of his 37 wickets, in fact, while Nathan Lyon was working from the other end. Lyon took 14 of his 19 wickets while in tandem with Johnson. The big England collapses in both innings in Brisbane, in the first innings in Adelaide, and in the second innings in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, all occurred while Johnson and Lyon were operating together.
In fact, when it comes to "team" bowling, Lyon was the most valuable in building pressure at one end before a wicket fell at the other. He took 19 wickets himself, but bowled the preceding over for 36 other wickets, nearly twice as many as any other bowler.
Johnson and Lyon – who'd have thunk it? Not quite Warne and McGrath, perhaps, but no less effective this summer. Yet again, it was captaincy that synchronised them. When Clarke is credited for his on-field gifts as a master manipulator, and when he is likened to Mark Taylor, this is where it comes from.

BOSTON – Investigators appealed to the public Tuesday for amateur video and photos that might yield clues to the Boston Marathon bombing as the chief FBI agent in Boston vowed "we will go to the ends of the Earth" to find whoever carried out the deadly attack.
In Washington, President Obama urged Americans to "speak up" to authorities if they see something suspicious.
Two bombs blew up seconds apart Monday at the finish line of one of the world's most storied races, tearing off limbs and leaving the streets spattered with blood and strewn with broken glass. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 170 were wounded.
A doctor treating the wounded said one of the victims was maimed by what looked like ball bearings or BBs.
Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings, which took place on one of the city's biggest civic holidays, Patriots Day. But the blasts raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
On Capitol Hill, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called the bombings "a cruel act of terror" and said "a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned or carried out by a terror group, foreign or domestic."
Across the U.S., from Washington to Los Angeles, police tightened security, monitoring landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events.
Law enforcement officials in Orange County braced themselves Monday.
"At this point, we have no reason to believe that the events in Boston are connected to California," said state Homeland Security Advisor Cal EMA Secretary Mark Ghilarducci in a statement. "However, events like this often change on a minute-by-minute basis, and I have directed our State Threat Assessment Center in Sacramento to work with the five regional intelligence centers throughout the state to continue looking at any threats that may emerge."
The Orange County Sheriff's Department planned to increase patrols and visibility of law enforcement officials at public venues and large gathering areas. Other local police agencies say they are monitoring information as it comes in and are prepared to respond to any suspicious activity.
Local airports are bolstering their security as a precaution. There are more law enforcement officials at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana. Bomb-detecting canines, additional patrol officers and security personnel are present at the Los Angeles International Airport.
A spokeswoman at the Long Beach Airport said officials at the airport have received no information that would cause them to change their security standards. There were no flight delays related to the explosions.
An Anaheim Ducks game is scheduled for Wednesday night. The center's spokesman said they would address security concerns for upcoming events in the next couple of days.
In Boston, FBI agent in charge Richard DesLauriers said, "We will go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime, and we will do everything we can to bring them to justice."
He said investigators had received "voluminous tips" and were interviewing witnesses and analyzing the crime scene.
Gov. Deval Patrick said that contrary to earlier reports, no unexploded bombs were found. He said the only explosives were the ones that went off.
FBI agents searched a home in the suburb of Revere overnight. Authorities gave no details. But investigators were seen leaving a building there early Tuesday carrying brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag.
At a news conference, police and federal agents repeatedly appealed for any video, audio and photos taken by marathon spectators, even images that people might not think are significant.
"There has to be hundreds, if not thousands, of photos and videos" that might help investigators, state police Col. Timothy Alben said.
Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said investigators also gathered a large number of surveillance tapes from businesses in the area and intend to go through the video frame by frame.
"This is probably one of the most photographed areas in the country yesterday," he said.
Investigators refused to give any specifics on the bombs and say, for example, where they might have been hidden or whether they were packed with shrapnel for maximum carnage, as is often the case in terror bombings overseas.
But Dr. Stephen Epstein of the emergency medicine department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said he saw an X-ray of one victim's leg that had "what appears to be small, uniform, round objects throughout it — similar in the appearance to BBs."
The fiery explosions took place about 10 seconds and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending columns of smoke rising over the street.
Roupen Bastajian, a state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when he heard the explosions.
"I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor," he said. "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. … At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing."
At least 17 people were critically injured, police said. At least eight children were being treated at hospitals. In addition to losing limbs, victims suffered broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums.
At Massachusetts General Hospital, Alasdair Conn, chief of emergency services, said: "This is something I've never seen in my 25 years here … this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war."
Eight-year-old Martin Richard was among the dead, according to a person who talked to a friend of the family and spoke on condition of anonymity. The person said the boy's mother and sister were also injured as they waited for his father to finish the 26.2-mile race.
A candle burned on the stoop of the family's single-family home in the city's Dorchester section Tuesday, and the word "Peace" was written in chalk on the front walk.
Neighbor Betty Delorey said Martin loved to climb the neighborhood trees, and hop the fence outside his home.
Tim Davey of Richmond, Va., was with his wife, Lisa, and children near a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners when the injured began arriving. "They just started bringing people in with no limbs," he said.
"Most everybody was conscious," Lisa Davey said. "They were very dazed."
The Boston Marathon is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious races and about 23,000 runners participated. Most of them had crossed the finish line by the time the bombs exploded, but thousands more were still completing the course.
The attack may have been timed for maximum bloodshed: The four-hour mark is typically a crowded time near the finish line because of the slow-but-steady recreational runners completing the race and because of all the friends and relatives clustered around to cheer them on.
Davis, the police commissioner, said authorities had received "no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen" at the race. On Tuesday, he said two security sweeps of the route had been conducted before the marathon.
The race winds up near Copley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775.
Richard Barrett, the former U.N. coordinator for an al-Qaida and Taliban monitoring team who has also worked for British intelligence, said the relatively small size of the devices in Boston and the timing of the blasts suggest a domestic attack rather than an al-Qaida-inspired one.
"This happened on Patriots Day — it is also the day Americans are supposed to have their taxes in — and Boston is quite a symbolic city," said Barrett, now senior director at the Qatar International Academy for Security Studies.
The Pakistani Taliban, which has threatened attacks in the United States because of its support for the Pakistani government, on Tuesday denied any role in the bombings.
A woman who was a few feet from the second bomb, Brighid Wall, 35, of Duxbury, said that when it exploded, runners and spectators froze, unsure of what to do. Her husband threw their children to the ground, lay on top of them and another man lay on top of them and said, "Don't get up, don't get up."
After a minute or so without another explosion, Wall said, she and her family headed to a Starbucks and out the back door through an alley. Around them, the windows of the bars and restaurants were blown out.
She said she saw six to eight people bleeding profusely, including one man who was kneeling, dazed, with blood trickling down his head. Another person was on the ground covered in blood and not moving.
"My ears are zinging. Their ears are zinging," Wall said. "It was so forceful. It knocked us to the ground."

THERE was no escaping the recent media industry turmoil even for the owner of Australia's top-rating television network, the Kerry Stokes-controlled Seven West Media.
The media group's board narrowly avoided a black eye at Tuesday's shareholder meeting after investors almost succeeded in lodging a ''first strike'' against its remuneration report.
Seven West reported that 23.96 per cent of voting shareholders rejected the remuneration report as recommended by the Australian Shareholders Association and proxy adviser ISS. A vote of 25 per cent or more two years in a row would automatically trigger a spill of the board.
There was some good news. Seven West shares rocketed after it told investors it was cutting costs with the goal of at least maintaining last year's $226.9 million net profit despite a drop in earnings for the first half. The stock jumped to a high of $1.41 before closing 11 per cent higher at $1.29, but the company's controlling shareholder, billionaire Kerry Stokes, was still lamenting its poor performance since he merged his Seven Network and magazines division with West Australian Newspapers last year.
''It seems the share price largely reflects the turbulence in advertising, shortness of demand and the markets' concern for changing technologies,'' Mr Stokes said in a speech lodged with the ASX.
''We are concentrating on revenue, on costs, on performance and on profits. And we need to keep applying ourselves to these objectives and the market should respond,'' he said.
The shares were worth more than $4 not long after the merger.
Seven West chief executive Don Voelte unveiled cost-cutting initiatives and capex reductions that will deliver $75 million in improved cash flow this year compared with expectations a few months ago. A ''phase 2'' program will bring more savings starting with an expected $50 million in the 2014 financial year.
It will not prevent a fall in earnings for the half year ending December 31 with the company expecting earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $250 million - less several million dollars in one-off restructuring costs - compared with $309.7 million for the previous first half.
Mr Voelte said the market was ''too short'' to provide guidance for the full year but said Seven West's ''goal'' is to ''dramatically limit the advertising market pressure on its $473.4 million EBIT last year and ''to maintain, and hopefully increase, our net profit after tax as compared to last year's $226.9 million.''
Bloomberg based its market estimate of Seven West earnings this year of $203.8 million on eight analysts' forecasts.
Mr Voelte said all the company's businesses continued to deliver earnings in the same proportion to total EBIT as last year.
Of the advertising market he said: ''We are still seeing downward trajectories in a very thin market, but it does appear to be stabilising at these lower levels of decline. Very little is sacred in the terms of costs or the way we do business. Despite the success of our businesses, there is no emotional attachment to any aspect of our processes and assets.''

I think that technical standards could help grow the NoSQL market. But somehow, I don't think that's what Oracle has in mind. According to a report by The Register's Jack Clark, normally a reliable source, "insiders, speaking on condition of anonymity, say relational database expert Oracle is trying to form a body dedicated to NoSQL databases, and is seeking participation from NoSQL startups."
Typically, large vendors use standards bodies slow the pace of change. I remember, for example, when JBoss was pushing for JPA and EJB3 to be standardized, a larger vendor dragged its feet while making acquisitions to compete in that space. With NoSQL databases, my guess is that Oracle wants to add barriers to entry and slow things down as much as possible.
[ Andrew C. Oliver answers the question on everyone's mind: Which freaking database should I use? | The time for NoSQL standards is now | Get a digest of the key stories each day in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
Hitting rock bottom through standards bodies
You may imagine standards bodies as happy places where geeks work hand in hand to make sure there's a nice, compatible interface for their respective products to be plugged into. You might like to think they'd do that out of enlightened self-interest to grow the marketplace -- plus, the real money is in the extensions and complimentary add-ons. Alas, this is typically far from the truth.
In reality, big vendors use standards to halt their larger customers from adopting new technology or create weird new-old hybrids to keep the old ways alive. There are many companies that, once they see a standardization effort, will wait for the BigCo-supported standard to be adopted before they upgrade their tech stack. Since such adoption tends to be slow anyhow, this is an effective delaying tactic. Meanwhile, the big vendor works to control the standards body.
Ideally, if you're a big vendor trying to slow the pace of the market, you want a nice international standards body. The bigger and more distributed the better -- and more corruptible. If anything actually gets done, drag your feet like the dickens. Best areas for that are "compatibility" with other standards or "security" (because anyone who argues that you're being silly doesn't care about security and thus is dangerous).
The things you own end up owning you
Oracle has a huge business problem when it comes to NoSQL and big data. It is the Novellization (as in Novell Corp.) problem that other industry titans like Microsoft are facing. Any move it makes toward modernization undercuts its existing highly profitable near-monopoly.

HOUSTON - Five decades since NASA last put a man on the moon, the embattled space program is set to usher in a new era of lunar exploration.
"Orion is the next piece of NASA's exploration future," Orion Program Director Mark Geyer said from the Johnson Space Center. "It's a system that can take the crew to the moon, to asteroids and also onto Mars."
NASA hopes astronauts will be able to live inside Orion's capsule for weeks at a time on objects much further than the International Space Station.
But first, it must be tested.
"We have a test flight in 2014," Geyer said. "It'll be unmanned because we're testing the heat shield and parachutes before we put somebody in there."
Then in 2017, there will be another unmanned test. This time with a large rocket attached.
"That large rocket actually gives us the push, the velocity, to get to places like the moon and Mars," Geyer said.
The moon will be first, with a target date of 2021. Then, eventually they'll try to get to an asteroid and Mars.
"It has the capability to go to all those places," Geyer said. "We'll start with things that are close and do investigations with people. Then we can extend it to go to places like Mars, looking for life."
According to NASA, four astronauts can fit inside Orion, sending them further than any humans have ever gone before.
Eventually, NASA hopes the Orion module will be able to dock with a habitat module and stays in space will last years at a time.

Look, I'm not here to tell you the 4-9 start is encouraging. To say 13 games isn't a very long time seems odd if you watched yesterday's doubleheader, which seemed to take an eternity. And there are very real reasons why the 4-9 start matters, though most of them are off the field. After all, if the perception is that the Mets are hopelessly out of the playoff race, it won't matter much at the turnstiles if one can statistically prove that they aren't.
But consider the following: as long as this season has felt so far, there are more games remaining in April- just in April!- than have already been played. Take the season to-date, add a game… and that only gets you to the morning of May 1.
The season goes until September 28. At least.
Look, the first 13 games produce more definitive feelings in Mets fans for a pair of reasons. For one thing, it is a first impression, and there are no conflicting stretches to help ameliorate how seeing a 4-9 team feels. For another, things haven't gone well for this franchise in recent years, if I may make a fairly uncontroversial statement. So it just reinforces the belief that assuming the worst is logical with the Mets. It isn't, for a variety of reasons, but that is for another time.
In the meantime, as Friday's game looks increasinly likely to get rained out, enjoy these 13-game stretches from the team's past, and consider how much they impacted your overall feeling of the team by the end of the season.
Remember how terrible the 2006 Mets were? Those September 15-27, 2006 Mets, that is. Why, that bunch couldn't manage to stay even with the current team, finishing a lousy 3-10. They got swept by the Pirates, lost a pair to the Marlins, three of four to the lowly Nationals, then closed out the stretch with a pair of losses to Atlanta. Steve Trachsel, the ace of the 9/15-27/06 Mets staff, threw 6 1/3 shutout innings to lead that sorry team to a victory on September 18. The beaten-down fans cheered as if the Mets had just won the division!
For consistently poor play, though, it is hard to top the 1986 Mets. The August 8-17, 1986 Mets managed a 4-7 record, thanks to a terrible pitching staff and hitters that simply didn't come through in the clutch. If it wasn't Bobby Ojeda getting knocked around by a juggernaut Phillies lineup on August 13 (both Ron Roenicke and Steve Jeltz touched Ojeda for extra-base hits), it was the team scoring one run in three separate games, getting shut down by Kevin Gross on August 12. Then, a month later, the 1986 Mets went 5-8, this time from September 8 through September 21. Those hapless 9/8-21/86 Mets scored a single run in seven innings against Marvin Freeman on September 21, even though Freeman gave them five walks. (They lacked the mental toughness to come from behind.) A rare bright spot was a 5-0 win on September 18 against the Cubs, with the Mets scoring an early knockout against a young no-name pitcher, Greg Maddux. But make no mistake: the 1986 Mets were just awful.
And clearly, the New York Daily News doesn't know the meaning of rock bottom. After seven straight years of finishing ninth or tenth from 1962-1968, the 1969 Mets started out 5-8, just a game better than the current bunch. Who knows what happened next? I assume the fans all gave up and the team folded.
Now, you want a team that had it all? Hitting, pitching, mental toughness? You'd have to go with the 1993 Mets. To be more specific, the September 20-October 3, 1993 Mets. That team surged to a 9-3 record to end the season, behind three wins by a true ace this current team lacks: Dave Telgheder. That team came through when it counted, winning a pair of extra-inning games, including a 17-inning, 1-0 victory over the Cardinals on September 29. Relievers Jeff Innis, Mauro Gozzo, and winning pitcher Kenny Greer- now that's a bullpen! Jeff Kent's double scored Eddie Murray, which is why when fans recall the best days of rooting for the New York Mets, Kent and Murray are often cited as the right side of the infield they adored most.
