Since taking the field in 1996, Derek Jeter's career has been filled with spectacular moments, hinting at an apparent greatness that reflects the proud pedigree of Yankee pinstripes. Jeter has five World Series Championship rings to go alongside his 11 All-Star Game appearances, five Gold Glove awards, four Silver Slugger awards, and he's about to add to that list of Hall-of-Fame lock achievements by smacking his 3,000th hit of his career. He's just three hits away from reaching that milestone, and when he does inevitably reach that mark, he'll be wearing some sick on-field gear courtesy of Jordan Brand.
The Jordan Brand DJ3K Collection features a 'Defining Moments' theme of Black and Metallic Gold, give to the Jordan Jeter Cut Cleat and special edition Jordan Brand batting gloves. The Cleats feature a number of personal details, like his High School and professional jersey number on the inner tongues of both shoes, a custom insole featuring a personal contract between he and his father, drafted before High School, and Jeter's response to that contract – 'I Agree' – on the inner tongue label. Other items of this collection feature a special PE colorway of the Jordan Jeter Cut Trainer in a colorway commemorating Kalamazoo Central High School as well as two special 3,000-hit t-shirts in Yankee-derived colorways. Check out the entire collection below and be sure to tune into Yankee baseball to catch Derek Jeter against the Tampa Bay Rays as he strives to join one of the most exclusive clubs in professional sports, and check back with Sneaker News for possible release information.

I wonder too, for all that is needed seems to be in the C code. Chapter 2 of 'Inside PLT MzScheme' gives info on how type info is recorded 'inside' MzScheme. The following is what I collected from looking into the doc and the C code: C macro SCHEME_TYPE returns type-info. File .../src/mzscheme/src/stypes.c enumerates scheme types used inside MzScheme. I guess it would not be very difficult to add C code that collects the scheme-type and uses it to collect a type-name from an array of strings. May be elsewhere such an array already exists, I would not know. Adding a primitive that returns the string may do what you are looking for.

Regarding whether a list of number is a list or a list of numbers - I can see that comes up with either predicates or type info, so don't see a disadvantage one way or another, but predicate-based approach just makes type dispatching more manual. Anyhow - just wondering about the reason(s) not to provide type info - sure love to know the historical design decisions ;) Thanks, yinso On 6/10/07, Jos Koot <jos.koot at telefonica.net> wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: YC To: Jos Koot ; PLT Scheme List ; Robert Nikander Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 12:47 AM Subject: Re: [plt-scheme] (typeof obj) This is something I wonder as well... given that internally Scheme *does know* about the type of a value, why isn't there a function that expose the information? Type-based dispatching is after all a legitimate development technique. I am not sure whether or not Scheme *does know* THE type of a value. I am sure the PLT team has more knowledge of that. My way of looking at it is that there are predicates that know whether or not a value satisfies them. Furthermore there is the question how far you want to go in specifying the type. Is a list of numbers simply a list or is it 'a list of numbers'? The number of predicates you may think of is unlimited.

Of course there is a way, but you may not like it: (define (types-of x) (filter identity (map (lambda (predicate typename) (and (predicate x) type-name)) predicates type-names))) (define predicates (list integer? procedure?, etc) (define type-names '(integer procedure, etc)) Of course the procedure returns a list of types, for a 1 is an integer, a rational, a real and a complex number. You also can think of adapting procedure make-struct-type, such as to add their predicates and names to the lists. Same for define-struct, let-struct ... Same for classes. If you want only one type returned in stead of a list, two conditions must be met: First: for every two types A and B either A and B disjunct or A a subset of B or B a subset of A. Second: carefully compose the lists of predicates and their names.

* Activists say security forces shoot dead more protesters
* France wants greater pressure put on Damascus
* Syria could slide into civil war - Clinton
* Total says Syria stops payments for oil output
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis
AMMAN, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Syria is seeking changes to a planned mission to monitor its implementation of an Arab League peace initiative, the group's chief said on Friday, on the eve of a deadline for Damascus to take steps to end months of bloodshed.
Activists said security forces killed 11 people after weekly prayers, in the latest violence in the crackdown on protests against President Bashar al-Assad, which the United Nations says has killed at least 3,500 people since March.
The Arab League has suspended Syria and set the Saturday deadline for it to comply with the Arab peace plan, which entails a military pullout from around restive areas, threatening sanctions unless Assad acts to halt the violence.
Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby said the organisation was studying a letter from Syria which "included amendments to the draft protocol regarding the legal status and duties of the monitoring mission of the Arab League to Syria".
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said he doubted Syria would respond positively to the Arab League initiative. But he said any international intervention must not be unilateral and should be mandated by the United Nations.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton feared the country could slide into civil war.
"I think there could be a civil war with a very determined and well-armed and eventually well-financed opposition that is, if not directed by, certainly influenced by defectors from the army," she told NBC news in Indonesia, where she was attending a regional summit.
However, she did not foresee the global community intervening in the same way as it did in Libya. "There is no appetite for that kind of action vis-a-vis Syria," she said, pointing to moves by the Arab League and Turkey.
Juppe, speaking alongside Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu, said France was ready to work with the Syrian opposition and that tougher sanctions were needed on Damascus.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague will meet Syrian opposition representatives in London next week in what officials characterised as an intensification of contact with Assad opponents.
A Foreign Office source said Britain was "a long way off" from recognising the Syrian National Council or Syrian opposition groups as a government-in-waiting or as the legitimate alternative to Assad.
"What they have to do is come together and form a coherent unified vision of the Syria they want of the future, particularly around the transition period and how to get there," the source said.
Sanctions already imposed by the European Union and the United States are starting to bite: On Friday, French oil major Total said Syria had halted payments for its oil production activities. Syria's oil exports, worth $400 million a month, a vital source of government earnings, have come to a standstill.
But, at the end of a week in which army deserters attacked an intelligence building near Damascus and waged a deadly battle with Assad's forces, Juppe appeared to call on the opposition not to use army defectors to mount attacks.
"We are making a call to the Syrian opposition. To avoid a civil war, we hope that the army will not be mobilised. This would be a catastrophe," Juppe said.
Hundreds of people have been killed in Syria, including civilians, army deserters and forces loyal to Assad, since it agreed on Nov. 2 to withdraw troops from urban areas and release political prisoners under an Arab League initiative.
Syria says it is trying to implement the deal but has called on neighbouring countries to do more to stem a flow of arms to the opposition and end what it says is a media campaign of incitement against Syrian authorities.
On Friday activists said security forces shot dead at least 11 people and wounded dozens when they fired to disperse protests in the cities of Deraa, Homs, Hama and the Damascus suburb of Erbin.
Syria's state news agency said two members of the security forces were killed and a third was seriously wounded when a bomb exploded in the province of Hama. Two others were wounded by gunfire in Deraa, it said.
Syria has barred most independent journalists from the country, making it difficult to verify reports from activists or officials. Authorities blame the violence on foreign-backed armed groups who they say have killed 1,100 soldiers and police.
Protesters called on foreign countries to expel Syrian ambassadors in support of the opposition.
"Whoever fears God should expel the Syrian ambassador" read a banner at a demonstration in the southern province of Deraa, where the uprising erupted in March.
In the eastern province of Hasaka, protesters shouted, "Why are you afraid? God is with us!" In Homs and Hama, young men dancing arm in arm chanted "The Free Army is our army", referring to army deserters who have waged an escalating campaign of attacks on state targets.
Opposition sources said on Wednesday the Free Syrian Army had killed or wounded 20 security police in an assault on an Air Force Intelligence complex on the outskirts of Damascus, the first of its kind in the revolt against Assad.
Russia, which opposed Western efforts to secure a Security Council resolution condemning Syria which could have led to U.N. sanctions on Damascus, said the raid showed that the conflict in Syria was "similar to real civil war".
France, Britain and Germany plan to ask the U.N. General Assembly's human rights committee to approve a resolution condemning the violence in Syria, before putting the non-binding measure to a vote in an assembly plenary session.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called on Friday for a cautious response from the international community.
"We are ready to work with the international community but we call for restraint and caution," Putin told reporters, asked whether Russia will support calls for Assad to resign or back a U.N. resolution condemning his actions.
Meeting his French counterpart Francois Fillon in Moscow, Putin chided France for meddling in the affairs of other nations and reiterated a warning against military intervention.
Fillon said that faced with an increasingly "dramatic" situation in Syria, France was "more than ever determined to take action" against a president "who has lost all legitimacy in our eyes by firing on his own people".
Iran's ambassador to Lebanon said growing international pressure would not topple Syria's government.
"These threats will not yield any results," Ghadanfar Roken Abadi said on Friday. "Intensifying these threats...only increases our enthusiasm for popular unity with Syria."

WGOG's Backup Plan
Given the likely-hood of a significant snowfall and the possibility of the interruption of our signal, WGOG has devised a backup plan of operation in order to keep our listeners better informed in during this severe weather threat. In the event WGOG's signal is interrupted due to our transmitter, WGOG will begin streaming via wgog.com's "Listen Live" link.
When our tower accumulates significant ice, our transmitter, as a fail-safe, begins to reduce power. While the technical explanation can be complicated, accumulating ice on the broadcast antennas cause power to be reflected back into the transmitter. As a precaution, the transmitter "knows" to reduce power. If the reflected power becomes too much, the transmitter will then shut itself off, to prevent permanent damage to itself.
While we take measures to ensure our signal, times like this can cause situations such as the "fail-safe" or even power loss at our transmitter site. Therefore, in the event of the failure at our transmitter site, WGOG will stream our content to try to assure our listeners get the important information they need.
If necessary, the stream will be turned on, and listeners can simply click the "Listen Live" link using their home computer. You can also listen via smartphone by using the Tunein Radio app. Simply search for WGOG once you've downloaded the app.
We intend to make every effort to keep our listeners informed during this potentially dangerous weather situation.

WHILE we may still be celebrating the festive season, the health services is advicding people to make sure they stay well-stocked with medicine cabinet essentials to save them from making unnecessary trips to the doctor's.
Over the festive season, many people turn up at hospitals with everyday illnesses, and minor injuries which can easily be treated elsewhere, or at home.
NHS Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Cluster Medical Director Dr Geoff Payne said "By being prepared for winter and stocking up on medicine cabinet essentials, a lot of people could treat minor illnesses at home, avoiding unnecessary trips to the doctor."
Local pharmacists can provide you with free, qualified health advice at any time, and no appointment is necessary. Next time you are out restocking your shelves for the festive season, the health services suggest you stock up on:
• Your usual painkillers, such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin
• Cold and flu remedies
• Anti-diarrhoea medicine
• Oral rehydration salts
• Indigestion remedies
• Plasters
• Bandages
• Thermometer
• Tissues If you are already taking other medication, check first with your pharmacist to make sure the medicines are right for you.
If it's not an emergency, please don't go to A&E or ring 999.
People can help the NHS during these busy times by making sure they 'choose well' and consider using other parts of the NHS, such as a pharmacist, your GP, NHS Direct online at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk or on 0845 46 47.

But he returned in time for Munster's Heineken Cup quarter-final and produced a totemic display to see off the champions of England Harlequins.
Such has been his revival that Warren Gatland felt obliged to pick him for the Lions tour to Australia where he has been tipped by many to renew his second-row pairing with Alun Wyn Jones of four years ago.
But Jones, who led Australia to the World Cup final in 2003, remains unconvinced as to whether O'Connell can last the pace in Australia.
"Lock is a position where I feel the Lions are a little lacking," Jones told the Irish Examiner.
"The great Paul O'Connell is fading. He may have one great Test in him, but three on successive weekends will be difficult."
In the back-row competition is so strong that England captain Chris Robshaw did not even make the plane but for Jones it is O'Connell's compatriot Sean O'Brien who could be the decisive figure in the series.
"The Welsh pair of captain Sam Warburton and Toby Faletau are standouts in the Lions back row," Jones said.
"Warburton is hard on the ball and Faletau possesses a nice step not dissimilar to the great Toutai Kefu, who helped Australia to win the World Cup in 1999.
"Sean O'Brien, the Irish flanker, was massive against the Wallabies in the upset at the 2011 World Cup so I see this trio ensuring the breakdown contest is relentless."

I graduated from Penn State in '06 (WE ARE!). I taught Special Education in Virginia for three years, before I decided to move back up north to go back to school. I just finished my Masters of Education from Rutgers University in New Jersey. I am now teaching at a Charter School in Philadelphia and excited for the 2012-2013 school year.
While its always nice to spend a night out with friends, its fun to just relax at home with a good movie (What makes a movie a good movie? Well that is something that we can discuss!) I have many interests including swimming, hanging out with friends, running, meeting new people and exploring the world (when possible.) I love to travel and look forward to finding more time to do so (and someone to travel with!) I also want to find that someone to settle down and start a family with.
My favorite movies include Pretty Woman, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, the Rock, and Good Will Hunting. (There are probably a lot of others that I am forgetting!)
I like all types of music really, except I am not a big fan of either metal or rap. (80s and 90s Rap is okay, but past that not so much.)
As far as food goes, I would say my favorites are Sushi (Japanese), Italian, and Mexican. (But, I also could go for Pad Thai any day of the week!)

Our latest chart obsession is this map of lactose intolerance frequencies:
Source: Wikipedia.org, "Lactose Intolerance." Available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance Accessed 10/17/2010.
There is a long history of institutionalized racism in the dairy industry in the United States. Dr. Milton Mills of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) notes that while the United States government tells U.S. citizens that we should eat two to three servings of dairy products each day, it is an entirely inappropriate recommendation for most members of diverse communities in the country. As the above chart clearly presents, about 75 percent of the world's population is lactose intolerant. PCRM notes that 60 to 80 percent of African Americans, 50 to 80 percent of Latinos, and at least 90 percent of Asian Americans and Americans Indians are lactose intolerant.
Thanks, I Love Charts, for sharing this chart with us. Special thanks to my former classmate Jared Goodman for his keen research skills, too.

I have practiced law in Jacksonville for over 20 years. Just recently I faced a legal issue outside my area of practice. Several colleagues suggested that I retain Bill and I am extremely glad that I did. For years I had known of his reputation as a forceful advocate and hard worker. However, it is one thing to hear of a person's reputation and another to see their work first hand. Quite simply, Bill is one of the best problem solvers I have ever met. He has a unique ability to see through ultra complex fact patterns and quickly identify the most critical issues. Underneath his "gentleman lawyer" demeanor is an attorney that all of his opponents know will flat out fight for his clients. More importantly, the judges respect Bill and know that if he is representing a client, the case has merit. He kept me well-informed of the status of my case, returned my calls promptly, and his fees and costs were very reasonable. In spite of the defendant's best efforts, my case never sat still - Bill was always pushing it forward. At every step of the litigation, Bill was better prepared than and one step ahead of my opponent's lawyer and, as a result, he produced an outstanding result in my case.
If something bad were to happen to me and my family needed a lawyer, I would want them to hire Bill Scott.
Posted by Jeff
William "Bill" Scott is a highly respected trial attorney in Jacksonville, Florida specializing in medical malpractice, personal injury, products liability and professional liability cases. As a sole practitioner, he provides the utmost personal attention to his clients that larger law firms simply cannot provide. He is extremely responsive to client phone calls and it is not unusual to receive an email from him about your case at 7:00 A.M. Mr. Scott has tried several hundred cases in his 27 years of practice. He is extremely knowledgeable with the law. We find it refreshing that Mr. Scott advises his clients the strengths and weaknesses with their case from the outset so the client has realistic expectations about the case. His exemplary and winning record is why he is the only attorney our law firm trusts in making case referrals.
Posted by Keith
Bill Scott is an amazing lawyer. Not only are his analytical skills beyond reproach, he is also a very caring and compassionate man. He has handled several legal matters for me over the years and has done so diligently with excellent results. He is one of the best litigators around. You can't go wrong with this man.

7000 dollars for not even a month of minimal work! And a lien. I expected a bill, but felt forced to switch attorneys just to find other parties. I was in the hospital after an auto accident. i believe he is using his position to extort money with excessive billable hours. He was seldom in his office so when were these billable hours being accrued.
My new attorney did in 4 days what he could not do in 3-4 weeks. I suspected in the beginning he was not a strong or organized attorney, but I went ahead. He met with me, made a few calls with insurance,, sent an insurance request letter, and probably a few calls with me - but not excessive. He sent way too many letters to repeat inadequate information. I did most of my own negotiating and negotiated my own letter of protection.
He wanted to wait on finding other parties. . He cancelled the first appointment. It was 11 days for him to send insurance request letter. He did not want to tell me this. He was not at all proactive until I switched attorneys after less than a month. Then he got proactive with his bill and filed a lien. I do not think he knows his job to need this much time for such a minimal amount of work. I am willing to pay reasonable fee, but not to be billed unjustly.
I hired this lawyer upon referral while I was in the hospital. He was Not proactive and contradicted himself. I did give it time to see if it would improve. By giving benefit of the doubt, he has more time to create billable hours. It was apparent he did not want to do too much work until he assessed his payday.
I have worked with other attorneys so I do have a basis for this review. I had worked with another attorney on a family law case that did depositions, court date, negotiation, etc.. at 10k a year over 5 years. i made one last call to assess if I was mistaken, but he was not available for two days for brief call, so when was he accruing all these hours? I did not over call.
He wanted to wait for 30 days for insurance letter. he was seldom available. I switched attorney and they accomplished more in one week. We know all parties and can move ahead.
I am a single mom and he offered no guidance aside from my own research. I suspected he was working on his behalf and not my own. I was correct. 7000plus for 3 1/2 weeks of waiting and a lien. Now I have to deal with him on top of challenge of piecing life together.
The new attorneys office has confirmed his lack with their competence, follow thru, availability, and forward motion.

Jimmy Choo PLC reports 12% increase in net revenues for the Year Ended 31 December 2014
Jimmy Choo PLC, the British luxury brand specialising in shoes and accessories, today announced a significant increase in net revenues for the year ended 31 December 2014. The revenue announcement also marks Jimmy Choo's maiden performance figures following the successful IPO of the Company in October 2014.
Net Revenue growth of 12.0% at constant currency to £299.1m (6.2% at reported rates)
- Retail net revenue growth of 15.4% at constant currency (8.7% at reported rates)
- Like for like growth of 5.7%
- Wholesale net revenue growth of 6.3% at constant rates (1.9% at reported rates)
New Store Concept successfully launched
- New Bond Street reopened as three floor Global Flagship
Directly Operated Stores (DOS) increased by 9 in the year and 6 renovated
- 15 stores now in the New Store Concept
Asia including Japan continues strong growth driven by new DOS and strong organic growth
Commenting on the results, Pierre Denis, CEO of Jimmy Choo PLC said:
"We are delighted with this record net revenue performance, with a mix of like for like, retail and wholesale growth underlined by the success of our products. Our focus on shoes and dedication to product quality has ensured we produced innovative products which resonate strongly with our clients around the world. As these are our maiden performance figures since the successful IPO, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our incredibly talented and hard-working teams for their unstinting commitment and enthusiasm."

at reported currency
Growth at constant currency
In what has been a challenging year for the industry, Jimmy Choo has performed strongly in 2014, with double digit net revenue growth at constant currency driven by a mix of like for like growth from strong product authority and retail excellence, new store openings with a focus on China and continued growth in partnership with our wholesale customers. Net revenue grew by 12.0% on a constant currency basis (6.2% on a reported currency basis) to £299.1m in 2014, driven by strong performance in both ladies' and men's shoes.
Shoes were the main driver of net revenue growth in 2014, with accessories volumes also growing, driven by small leather goods. Our product authority was underlined in the second half of the year, as Sandra was awarded the Best Shoe collection award at the Prix d'Excellence de la Mode Marie Claire during Paris Fashion Week. While still a small component of the business, Men's continued to be our fastest growing segment with notable success in Asia, especially Japan and increasing penetration in other geographies overall.
Regionally, Asia remains our strongest growth region, with strong response to our collections and increasing brand penetration driving like for like supported by our continued build out of new stores. Despite the extent of the devaluation of the Yen, our Japanese business grew strongly, driven by a positive response to the launch of CHOO.080.
Retail net revenues grew by 15.4% at constant rates (8.7% at reported rates) to £193m, (64% of net revenues) as we continued to open new DOS and began the process of renovating our existing portfolio of stores in the New Store Concept unveiled in H1. Like for like growth in constant currency terms was 5.7% despite the impact of the renovation programme, which included the closure of our New Bond Street flagship for half of the year, supported by a strong online contribution. Sales performance in new concept stores post renovation has run consistently above that in old concept stores.
10 new DOS were opened in the year, and 1 was closed, giving a total DOS portfolio of 125 at 31 December 2014. This measured DOS growth is expected to continue, with 10-15 new DOS per annum going forward. In addition, building on the encouraging initial results from the New Store Concept, a further 10-15 existing DOS are expected to be renovated each year.

Local fix
Problem summary
APAR NUMBER: PM79558 PRODUCT: z/TPFDF FUNCTIONAL AREA: TPFDF C SUPPORT SHIPPED IN PUT: 10 ABSTRACT: Various problems in the z/TPFDF C interface segments: (1) dfsrt() and dfmrg() may cause a CTL-3 system error when the user's keylist resides above the 2-GB line (2) dfsrt() and dfmrg() will overwrite the user's keylist when it resides below the 2-GB line (3) An OPR-4 system error or other unpredictable results may occur when issuing dfdsp() with an opm parameter that resides above the 2-GB line (4) An OPR-DBC070 system error occurs if a dfdel() function is coded with an access specifier and either an ID list or LREC list. PACKAGE CONTENTS: Source Segments: (C) tpfdf/rt/ufgh.asm (C) tpfdf/rt/ufgj.asm (C) tpfdf/rt/ufgp.asm (C) tpfdf/rt/ufgw.asm Object Only Binaries: None. Configuration Independent Binaries: (C) base/stdlib/libCTDF.so (C) base/stdload/CTDF.so (C) tpfdf/obj/ufgh.o (C) tpfdf/obj/ufgj.o (C) tpfdf/obj/ufgp.o (C) tpfdf/obj/ufgw.o Support Files: tpfdf/lst/CTDF.map tpfdf/lst/ufgh.lst tpfdf/lst/ufgj.lst tpfdf/lst/ufgp.lst tpfdf/lst/ufgw.lst OTHER BINARIES TO BUILD: NO None. COMMENTS: (1) The C version of the key item structure (defined in c_sw01sr.h) uses an 8-byte pointer for the search argument while the assembler version (defined in sw01sr.mac), which is what is used by the central database routines, uses a 4-byte pointer. As a result, C interface segments ufgp.asm (dfmrg) and ufgw.asm (dfsrt) must condense 16-byte C-format keylist items to 12-byte ASM-format items. Before this is done, both ufgp.asm and ufgw.asm check to see if the keylist resides above the 2-GB line and if it does, the keylist is copied to storage below the 2-GB line. The copy process potentially truncates 4 extra bytes per key for the 8-byte search addresses. This incomplete keylist is then procesed to build the key instructions, which may result in a CTL-3 system error. (2) Regardless of whether the keylist is copied to local storage or not on the dfsrt() and dfmrg() calls, the keylist is modified in place, meaning that if the keylist was passed below the 2-GB line, the code would overwrite the original keylist with the condensed format. This would work for the first invocation, but the user's keylist would then be destroyed. If the user attempts to re-use the keylist or provide the same, unchanged keylist to a subsequent function, the already converted keylist is converted again with unpredictable results. (3) C interface segment ufgj.asm processes dfdsp() function calls. As part of the processing, ufgj.asm passes the opm parameter (if specified) to DBDSP by using the OPMT=A/INPARMxI notation, which assumes that the opm parameter is located at a 4-byte core address location. However, if an opm parameter resides above the 2-GB line, the address of the parameter is truncated before being passed to the z/TPFDF central database routines. This can result in an OPR-4 system error or using an unpredictable value (like x'0000000000') for the opm parameter. (4) According to the formal z/TPFDF documentation, the dfdel() function is supposed to support specifying an access parameter (ALG, ORG, or FADDR) along with either an ID list or an LREC list. However, the corresponding cases in the dfdel C interface segment, ufgh.asm, were not implemented. As a result, any attempt to use any of these combinations of parameters will result in an OPR-DBC070 system error.
Problem conclusion
SOLUTION: (1 & 2) Segments ufgp.asm and ufgw.asm are changed to copy the keylist to local storage regardless of whether or not the original keylist resides above the 2-GB bar. This processing is optimized by copying and condensing the keylist in one step and using fewer instructions to move the data. (3) Segment ufgj.asm has been updated to pass the opm parameter (if specified) to DBDSP by using the OPMT=0(Rx) notation, which uses the entire 8-byte address in the base register. (4) Segment ufgh.asm has been updated to add the missing cases. COREQS: NO None. MIGRATION CONSIDERATIONS: NO None.

North Hills students sending positive message with Peace Walk
Students at North Hills Senior High School in Ross Township are asking people in the community to help raise awareness of discrimination and social injustice by participating in a Peace Walk from 10 a.m. to noon at Martorelli Stadium, which is along Route 19 in West View.
The walk will go on rain, shine or snow and will feature light refreshments and camaraderie, said Andrea Alban, a North Hills senior and student chairwoman for the event. The event, an initiative of the high school's Peer to Peer Empowerment club, Alban said, will be enjoyable and promote kindness.
"It's just one day for peace and no negativity or anything of that nature. There's just going to be positive energy all around," said Alban, 17.
The event is sponsored by Crisis Center North, which developed Peer to Peer Empowerment clubs at North Hills and other nearby schools as a way to promote and educate students about developing healthy relationships with each other, said Leon Strimel, a prevention educator at Crisis Center North, located in the North Hills. Crisis Center North provides services for victims of domestic violence.
Strimel said student representatives of the Peer to Peer Empowerment clubs from local high schools meet a few times a year for workshops. Crisis Center North representatives ask the students to brainstorm about issues they want to address.
Alban said last year, the North Hills students had an event to address bullying and that it was a success. She said she is hoping for the same thing this year.
"It's about raising awareness that discrimination does happen. If you see something, stand up, and say something," said Alban, of Ross Township.
Strimel said he encourages school administrators to let the students take care of most of the planning responsibilities, such as coming up with an idea, securing a location, advertising and community outreach.
Along with inviting students from their high school, Alban said, event organizers also reached out to the junior high, as well, by visiting homerooms to spread word about the Peace Walk. Students also invited various community organizations, such as the local NAACP, and churches of different denominations to participate.
Students also reached out to their counterparts at other high schools, such as Montour, Pine-Richland, North Allegheny and Woodland Hills, she said.
And everyone in the community is invited to come walk. All people have to do is show up.
Bonnie Ziff, a family and consumer science teacher at North Hills High School, is the club's administrative representative, and, Alban said, Ziff was good about providing advice and guidance. Also, Alban said, school staff members in general have been very supportive, as well as other school clubs, such as the National Honor Society which helped with organization.
Alban said donations, such as one from the high school choir, have helped pay for expenses.
At North Hills, the Peer to Peer Empowerment club is part of the school's Hands for Service Club, of which Alban has been a member for three years. School representatives for the Peer to Peer Empowerment club are selected by school staff, Alban said, and she was proud to have been chosen.
While the walk won't change the world, the message is important, Alban said.
"It will be really calming and really good exercise because we'll be walking for two hours," she said.

Me at GDC 2014
As usual, I will be in San Francisco this year! It's a relatively quiet year for me though.
I'm giving a talk at Critical Proximity, which is a brand-new conference held on Sunday, the day before GDC kicks off. It's a conference all about games criticism. My talk is called "A New Formalism," and it's about ways to apply various sorts of picky craft approaches to games in ways that hopefully enrich the non- formal styles of critique.
I am also giving a microtalk as part of the GDC F2P Summit, on retention tips and techniques specifically for "build and invest" style games:
Microtalks: Retention Tips for Free-to-Play Genres
The two pillars of free-to-play gaming are retention and monetization. Because players monetize over time, you need to keep as many of your players coming back for as long as possible. But how do you accomplish that? In this uniquely-formatted session, seven battle-hardened free-to-play veterans will give microtalks about retention techniques for seven different free-to-play genres: builders, hidden object games, card battle games, RPGs, word games, shooters and social casino. Learn the tips and tricks that the pros use in each of these genres.
That's on Monday, Room 2016, West Hall, at 4:30pm-5:30pm. Remember, my part is all of six minutes — I share the time with a bunch of wonderful folks.
Beyond that — a whole bunch of business meetings, dinners and networking and whatnot. I will have a copy of my card game with me at all times, so if you see me, expect to get dragooned into playtesting. I will also have a variety of other game prototypes too…

Newsweek's Alter: Sideways on Pope, Down on Cheney for Fishy Photo Flap
Newsweek's Conventional Wisdom is something of a throwaway feature that senior editor Jonathan Alter could easily churn out in between his morning constitutional and brushing his teeth.
His choices are almost always reliably liberal, as his recent takes on Pope Benedict XVI and Vice President Dick Cheney reflect.
Alter gave the pontiff a sideways arrow on April 16 for his U.S. trip. It's dripping with the usual talking points in the liberal media:
Gets a warm welcome in D.C. on his birthday, but can he win over disgruntled Roman Catholics?
This is an election year, but last I checked the only election that matters in the Catholic Church is the one that selects the new pope after the old one dies. Benedict is a religious leader holding forth a Christian tradition, not a politician courting support from the masses. Catholic Church teaching holds Benedict as a successor to the Apostle Peter and as such a guardian of divinely inspired apostolic teaching. Yet to Alter, Benedict is just another poll-plagued politico looking to curry favor from a U.S. publicity tour.
Biased as it is, at least Alter's swipe at Benedict makes some measure of sense compared to his April 21 print edition snark about Vice President Cheney. Alter assigned the veep a down arrow although the text of his gripe complains about the media:
A nude woman reflected in his shades? No, a fishing rod. Grow up, media.

Let us institutionalize the Caragan Festival-A A +A
At Close Range
Sunday, March 2, 2014
SPLENDID. Grand. Exhilarating. These are but few of the adjectives to describe the just-concluded Caragan Festival in Mabalacat City on February 28.
Some 15,000 to 30,000 came and witnessed the fitting finale of the month-long festive celebration of Mabalacat Sikat.
Now, there's a clamor to have more next year, this time on a bigger scale. But there is a need to institutionalize the event to assure that funds will be available for the big celebration andVice Mayor Christian C. Halili got a positive response when he asked the crowd in attendance if they want more.
Chairman Deng Pangilinan, who steered the Fiesta Committee for two years suggested the move to institutionalize into the books the holding of the Caragan Festival under the helmship of master impresario Jun Magbalot.
Local dancers, reinforced by exquisite dancers of Douglas Nierras who has been adopted as son of Mabalacat City provided exciting numbers.
Actors Daniel Matsunaga and JC de Vera added glitter to the festival, to the delight of the shrieking crowd.
The festival was given prominence by ABS-CBN's Mario Dumaual who interviewed extemporaneously Mayor Boking Morales and Vice Mayor Christian Halili on the TV Patrol segment.
The members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod were likewise supportive and as enthusiastic as the thousands of Mabalaquenos who braved the afternoon sun. City Councilors Rox Pena, Geld Aquino, Eddie Sotto, Bok Tiglao, Benny Jocson, Dwight Morales, Froylan Galang and Win-win Garbo were there. ABC President and Dau Barangay chair Dr. Oscar R. Aurelio was also there.
The real "heroes," according to chairman Deng of the Caragan, were the pupils and students who also braved the afternoon sun and who
came in costumes and dark makeup to make their skin approximate that of the original Aeta.
Now, the Caragan is being known, not only citywide but in the whole region as well. Tourism Pampanga representatives would see to that. Mabalacat Sikat. Sikat na ang Mabalacat. Till next year then.

March is fire prevention month in most parts of the country. The lead agency tasked to prevent and control fire incidents is the Bureau of Fire Protection but everyone is expected to contribute his share not to cause fires or conflagration.
It is a hot and dry month and we should expect power outages frequently as the supply becomes thin due to the increased usages of cooling machines.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) should look into the behavior of drivers and road worthiness of buses plying the Tarlac-San Fernando route.
Most of the drivers of the mini buses are homicidal. It is about time the LTFRB and of course the LTO looked into the operations of provincial buses.

Considerations on a Handkerchief
At the start of December I introduced you to one of my (many) 'favourite' objects that will be on display in the new galleries – a handkerchief with a design commemorating the first manned, hydrogen-filled, balloon flight, that ascended from the Tuileries Palace on 1st December 1783. The handkerchief design obviously encourages discussion and consideration […]Keep reading

The upcoming gathering hosted by the 'Mr and Mrs Smith' couple reportedly will be attended by Robert Procop, the jeweler who created her engagement ring.
Words run rampant that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are going to get married this weekend. The engaged couple, who are parents to six children, spark such rumor after it is learned that they are organizing a big gathering for family and friends in their Chateau Miraval vacation home in south France.
Brad's mother Jane and father Bill are among the guests who have arrived at the Chateau. Top jeweler Robert Procop, who created Angelina's engagement ring, is in the guest list as well. Brad's best friend George Clooney, who stays in his own home in Italy, is also expected to attend the party.
It's rumored to be Jane and Bill's 50th wedding anniversary, but "there's a real buzz around the estate" that it's a wedding for the "Mr and Mrs Smith" couple. "They say it's for Jane and Bill, but some think this could be it. Even Angelina's private jeweler is here," a source tells The Sun.
Brad and Angelina once did say they wanted to get married in a small private ceremony at the Chateau, the same place where they celebrated their engagement earlier this year. Of the forthcoming weekend bash, the source testifies, "Brad flew in to oversee preparations but they're all here now."
There is no word from both Brad and Angelina, but Reuters says local officials "don't know anything" about the wedding. Patrick Mareschi, deputy culture secretary of the nearby village of Correns, says, "Under French law couples have to get married at the town hall. Unlike with a religious wedding, there's no way a couple can hold a civil ceremony at their own home."

Standing desk
Around October 2010, I gave in to the crazy idea that I should build myself a standing desk. I had been scattering my projects around the house and my previous desk didn't offer enough working space for anything other than reading or working on my laptop. The design and construction process lasted through January, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Metroid Prime
Review by rgw
"Does Prime follow the series' foot-steps?"
Metroid Prime and fear, uncertainty, and doubt were synonymous since gamers learned that Samus was getting her first game in over eight years and Retro Studios, an American developer, was getting the difficult task of making Metroid work in 3D. Retro's troubles with development groups and cancellations of projects made many worry that Metroid was in bad hands. Some gamers gave up hope after learning that the game was going to be played from first-person.
E3 2002, where Metroid Prime was first shown in playable form, restored some hope to many doubtful gamers. The media loved Metroid, but some still thought Retro couldn't pull off Metroid from a perspective that makes it harder to jump and is used predominately for shoot-um ups. The doubt over Metroid Prime got so bad that some message board users on gaming sites suggested Metroid Fusion (GBA) over Prime because Prime wouldn't have the traditional Metroid feel. Boy, they were off.
In a surprising role-reversal, Metroid Prime got all the elements of a Metroid adventure, while Fusion doesn't. Prime has all the back-tracking, expansion hunting, and upgrades to get Metroid veterans drooling, while Fusion is so straight-forward you can beat it in two or three hours. Metroid Prime successfully reminds us older gamers what it was like to play Metroid or Super Metroid when we were younger in an in-direct and direct way (more on that later).
Metroid Prime garners not only the gameplay traditions of the series, but the story traditions, too. Prime's story is as bare boned as they come in today's epic RPG world. Amazingly, you can play through the whole game and not know why in the hell you're even on Tallon IV if you decide not to scan objects. The scanned entries to your 'log book' explain what is going on, on Tallon IV and why you should send the Space Pirates packing. Prime has absolutely no dialogue, and cutscenes are only used sparingly. While this may all seem bad, it is actually not so bad. Metroid Prime doesn't screw you out of a single dollar you spent on it. From just about the minute you start it until the end, Prime is nothing but solid action.
The bare-bone story revolves around Tallon IV and the Space Pirates after Samus kicked the Pirates off their base in Metroid I. The game starts at an abandoned space frigate near Tallon IV. Samus went to the ship after receiving a distress signal from around the planet. Samus heads through the ship and discovers one of the Pirates experiments. She destroys the enemy and must evacuate the ship before it crashes into the planet. An explosion before she makes her escape caused her suit to malfunction back to its original form. Finally, a sighting of an old nemesis compels her to head down to Tallon IV and see what is amok.
The Space Frigate is no more then a tutorial level before the real action begins. It is nice though that Retro put an escape sequence in the game like in Metroid and Super Metroid. The game really begins at Tallon Overworld, where you step out of your ship considerably naked in an upgrade sense. From the overworld you can gain access to the other parts of Tallon IV, which are way larger then the overworld. Even the first area you gain access to can quickly become cumbersome. The game's 3D maps almost become necessary to plot your way through each area. Prime's large levels make save stations a precious commodity. After a short while in the game you find yourselves not only heading towards undiscovered country, but also hoping to find a new save station. A good rule of thumb is to save every time you have the chance, even after completing the most basic task. Not saving often can mean losing your newly found upgrade or expansion.
Metroid Prime features all of the old upgrades, except the screw attack and speed dash, and a few new ones. The morphball alone is cool enough, but seeing arm cannon upgrades and other upgrades in 3D is great. Basically all of Metroid's gameplay is based upon finding upgrades and expansions for the upgrades while destroying anything that gets in your way. The uses of the upgrades are well executed. The morphball gets a ton of action in the game; obviously Retro wasn't scared of a little third-person. The visors are great, too. The combat visor is the default for fighting; the scan visor is for reading computer consoles, devises, and enemy morphology; the thermal visor can lock on to heat signatures; and the X-Ray visor can see through wall and see the un-seen. Arm cannon-wise all of the old staples are back: the basic power beam, wave beam, ice beam, and plasma beam. Missiles make another return and the new missile-beam combos are great, too. Backtracking through many levels to find upgrades is hard, but finding the expansions for the missile launcher and power bombs are even harder. The game does reward you if you get every upgrade and expansion with an ultimate ending. To be exact Prime features three endings; each one is shown depending on your final completion percentage. To help gamers with the backtracking there is a hint system included in the game. The hint system points you towards certain rooms on the level map that might contain an upgrade or something to help your progress. The hints are great for those who want to pilot through the game without the help of a guide but still need a little help to find their next objective.
Of course the best part about the upgrades is to use them to pummel the various distractions in Samus' way. The basic minions throughout the game are quite simple. Most of the enemies you see early in the game are indigenous to Tallon IV and are only attacking to protect their territory. It isn't until a good bit into the game that you see the more technically advance side of Tallon's baddies, and when you do the game gets a lot more difficult then it already was. Prime has a few bosses and none of them past the Space Frigate are too easy either. Prime boss battles out do past boss battles in other games not only in the strategies, but the sheer fun factor of facing the foe. Every boss has a new twist on it that makes it more difficult then the last. The ways of beating each boss are innovative and sometimes frustratingly hard. One of the few problems I can find in this game is that there is a big gap between two boss battles in Prime. You face a boss at about one-third of the way through with the game and you don't face any other bosses until your around four-fifths done with the game. During this gap there isn't any lull in the gameplay, but in retrospect I would like to have seen a few more big battles. Controlling Samus can be a little confusing when you first pick up the game. Prime doesn't work like every other shooter mainly because the game doesn't use duel analog to aim while moving. The targeting system actually works more like Zelda 64 then a shooter. Overall, Prime's control layout is actually well laid out. Though it can difficult to manage at the beginning, Metroid Prime has great controls.
With all the talk about the gameplay, I forgot about the graphics. Prime's graphics are certainly not a slouch. The game looks simply beautiful. The first-person perspective through the visor sets the standard for first-person display. Rain droplets bead up on the screen, fog can cover the visor, and sometimes you can see Samus' reflection on the glass. Tallon IV is large, and Retro went through the trouble of painstakingly crafting this world down to every texture. No two rooms look exactly alike in Prime. Though Metroid Prime isn't as technically advanced as the likes of Star Fox Adventures, it still looks very nice. Some textures might be a little grainier then Star Fox, but it is nonetheless nice.
Sound wise Prime is great if techno music is to your liking. The old Metroid tunes are remixed for your listening pleasure. The music does become repetitive the further you get into the game. The tunes that play while you face certain enemies become annoying quickly, especially when the tune mean a Chozo Ghost is in the room. One of the best touches in the game is the sound of the Power Suit. The hum of the suit, the recoil from the missile launcher, and the thrust of Samus' jump make you seem like you are in your very own Power Suit. For you sound junkies, Metroid Prime is Dolby Pro Logic II compatible.
Not only does Prime have the expected alternate endings, but also it has a few secrets for those willing to shell out some more money. Those with a Gameboy Advance, Metroid Fusion, and a Gamecube GBA Cable can unlock these secrets. When you defeat Prime, you can hook up the GBA with Fusion in it to get a new look for Samus' suit. By defeating Fusion and hooking the games up will unlock the original Metroid to play on the Gamecube.
The Good
* The Visor
* True to the Metroid series
* One of the longest game on the Gamecube
The Bad
* Not enough boss battles
* Somewhat grainy textures
Graphics: 9
While I can't call this a technical achievement, I will say that Prime's graphics is a great overall package. Some textures might not be as clean as other games on this system, but Retro made up for it with a very fluid framerate and neat little effects on the visor.
I have always loved Metroid's music, but the tunes can become annoying after a while. All of the music sounds good, but obviously Nintendo didn't write enough pieces for such a large game. The sound effects are top notch, but will go almost unnoticed unless you listen for them.
Brilliance: 9.5
Metroid Prime takes the best of both worlds: the action of shooters and the strategy of adventures put it in first-person. I couldn't have imagined such a great transition to 3D for Metroid. Nintendo gave Retro a chance, and they took advantage of it.
Lifetime: 9.5
Metroid Prime is one of the longest games I have played since Zelda 64. The lure of seeing the ultimate ending will get you to search all over Tallon IV for every single expansion, which can take a long time. The inclusion of Metroid I gives you chance to see a little piece of Nintendo history, and it isn't half bad when it comes to length either.
Overall: 10
Metroid Prime transcends any hype it had, and demolished any doubt in any gamers mind. When I say this is the one of the best games I've ever played, I'm putting it next to the likes of Nintendo's greatest title. Heck, this thing could arguably be at the top of any best games ever list. Prime is not only Nintendo's current flagship title, but it is also among the flagship titles for this generation of consoles.

QUEENSFIELD United celebrated their return from a two-month break from competitive action by crushing Swiss Chalet Rangers 6-1 in the Swindon & District League Premier Division.
United hadn't played a game since November due to fixture clashes and the inclement weather, but they didn't show any signs of ring-rust against a depleted Swiss Chalet side.
Shaun Close netted a hat-trick for the hosts, while Kelvin Spencer grabbed a brace and Roger Mundy also got on the scoresheet.
Swiss Chalet seemed helpless to prevent Queenie from running rampant, with centre-half Kelvin McCarthey filling in as goalkeeper, and Lewis Polden's effort was scant consolation for the visitors.
Elsewhere in the division, Fratellos maintained their 100 per cent record but they were made to work for their 1-0 victory over Village Inn.
Dave Slattery got the goal that separated the two sides, and Fratellos have now won each of their nine matches in the league so far this season.
In Division One, Bassett Bulldogs edged past Swindon Spitfires in a seven-goal thriller.
Bassett opened the scoring through Chris Edwards, only for Spitfires to equalise almost immediately.
Edwards wasted no time in restoring the hosts' advantage but again Spits hit back.
The game of cat and mouse continued in the second half, with Wayne Matthews firing Bassett back in front only for their guests to level, before Dave Lazenby popped up in the final minute to snatch all three points for the home side.
Chiseldon were no match for a rampant Ramsbury, as the winners sauntered their way to a 5-0 victory.
Scott Kimber posted a brace and there were also goals for Ashley Bowes, Jordan Allen and Jeremy Martin as Ramsbury dominated throughout.
Old Town made it 11 wins out of 11 in Division One as they eased past Ferndale 6-0 away from home.
Chris Woods smashed a hat-trick for the visitors, Dean Davoile got two and Steve Nesbitt also registered as Old Town extended their lead at the top of the table.
Tap & Barrel bounced back from last weekend's home defeat to Bassett Bulldogs with a resounding 4-0 victory at Larry's Plaice.
Two goals from Gary Davis set the away side up nicely, and three points were secured thanks to further efforts from Paul Blackford and Frank Cullen.
Darryl Kemble's goal was not enough for a depleted Fox & Hound side, who lost 2-1 at Sportz Central. Alisto Pires scored both of the home side's goals.

It was a solemn occasion for two political adversaries as premier-designate Pauline Marois met with outgoing Premier Jean Charest to begin the transition to the first Parti Québécois government in almost a decade.
For the second time in five years, Quebec will have a minority government, and politicians are expecting a turbulent transformation.
The Coalition Avenir Québec, which placed third in Tuesday's election, lost no time on Thursday in defining what it will demand as the price of propping up the PQ while the Opposition Liberals regroup, and said it hasn't ruled out bringing the government down sooner rather than later.
CAQ leader François Legault holds the balance of power in the National Assembly, and as the Liberals began jockeying for position in their leadership race, he urged them to make their choice before next spring's budget "just in case."
"If not, I'd have no choice but to back Ms. Marois's budget. But I think that right now we need some changes in Quebec. We cannot live with the actual status quo, so I think that there is a certain urgency for them to get a new leader," Mr. Legault said.
For the time being, Mr. Legault said he is willing to co-operate with the PQ on urgent matters. The Liberals will likely be inclined to make compromises and keep the minority government afloat until they have replaced Mr. Charest, so the CAQ Leader said he will use this early stage of the minority government to push his party's agenda.
Mr. Legault said the election result has put to rest the threat of another referendum on sovereignty, and now the focus must be the difficult economic times ahead. He expressed concerns about whether the PQ can balance the budget while keeping its promises to eliminate proposed hydro rate increases, tuition fee hikes and the health tax all at once.
"What I see as being urgent is acting on the economy. There are black clouds on the horizon and we need measures that will give tax relief to the middle class while attracting private investments to Quebec to improve our productivity," Mr. Legault said.
For now, Ms. Marois must focus on putting together a cabinet to be sworn in on Sept. 18 or 19. Meanwhile the Liberals held a post-election caucus meeting on Thursday morning.
Most of the members expected to consider running to replace Mr. Charest played their cards close to the vest as they arrived to bid farewell to the departing leader. Only long-time cabinet minister Jean-Marc Fournier took his name off the list. He will likely be chosen interim leader at next week's caucus meeting.
"I have no interest in the party leadership," Mr. Fournier said, before quickly indicating he is open to the interim job. "When it comes to parliamentary duties, I will assume any responsibilities [the caucus] wants to give me."
Accompanied by his wife, Michèle Dionne, Mr. Charest received an extended standing ovation from the defeated candidates, returned and retiring MNAs.
"It was a big decision to take yesterday, but I'm very happy this morning," Mr. Charest said of his resignation announcement.
Many Quebec Liberals have never seen a leadership race. The last real one was in 1983, when Robert Bourassa outpaced Pierre Paradis, then a young MNA, and Daniel Johnson.
Mr. Paradis, who is still an MNA, did not rule out running again 29 years later. He would have a long hill to climb after quarrelling with Mr. Charest, being excluded from cabinet and spending extended periods in self-imposed exile from caucus meetings.
Transport Minister Pierre Moreau has often been mentioned as a possible successor, as have Health Minister Yves Bolduc and Finance Minister Raymond Bachand. One of the older members of the Charest government, Mr. Bachand was asked if being 64 would be an impediment. "My father was in great shape to age 92," Mr. Bachand shot back. "I'm going to think about it before I answer. I'm going to talk to my wife."
Mr. Bachand and several outgoing members of the government admitted the Liberal Party needs reinvigorating after nine years in office.
They also agreed that they can't take too long to pick a new leader. Mr. Fournier, who briefly was an adviser to Michael Ignatieff when he was federal Liberal leader, said the NDP's lengthy leadership race showed the importance of expediting matters.
"The NDP's recent experience shows it's important not to completely abandon parliamentary work. We can't afford a vacation from our responsibilities in the National Assembly," said Mr. Fournier.
In their meeting on Thursday, Mr. Charest and Ms. Marois agreed to hold a special funeral for Martin Blanchette, 48, who was killed in the shooting on Tuesday at the PQ victory celebration that also seriously injured his colleague, Dave Courage, 27. The honour for Mr. Blanchette, the father of a 4-year-old daughter, is in recognition of that fact that he and Mr. Courage intervened to stop the gunman from entering the building where he allegedly planned to shoot Ms. Marois and PQ supporters.Report Typo/Error

Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost when air temperature is at least 70°F and soil temperature is at least 65°F.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before average last frost. In USDA zones 9 & 10, can also sow in late summer for fall/winter crop.
Harvesting: Harvest when mature size, and firm. Jalapeños can be harvested green or red, and are hottest just when they begin to turn from green to red. When harvesting, take care to avoid touching the interior of any broken peppers, as the capsaicin is an extreme irritant, especially to the eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after harvesting, or wear gloves to harvest peppers.
