To mark their 50th anniversary, the Symphony Orchestra of the Purcell School of Music travelled from Bushey to the Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank to perform a programme whose musical interest fully matched up to the occasion. There was something in it for everyone.
We are fortunate to have on our doosteps these brilliant young musicians, among them some from the four corners of the world; they have come here because this school does something very special for them.
The concert began with a short and brilliant fanfare Jubilee composed by Alan Mofti, still a pupil at the school, who took a bow. Then came, as if just to show that they could do the conventional repertoire, Beethoven's Triple Concerto in C, opus 56. Distinguished soloists were assembled, all alumni of the school: Jianing Kong (piano), Jack Liebeck (violin) and Robert Cohen (cello). The drama of the concerto form was effectively expressed; with rare exceptions, there was good balance among the soloists and between them and the orchestra.
The audience was enthusiastic, though unfortunately there were some who, in this work and in The Planets later, interrupted the music by applauding between the movements.
Joseph Phibbs, also a former pupil, had composed for the occasion Towards Purcell, an orchestral piece based on a theme by the 17th century composer Henry Purcell. All sections of the orchestra had a chance to show their skill – as did the horn, for instance, notoriously vulnerable, with its mournful theme. This work could be a staple of musical education to match Britten's Young Person's Guide. Phibbs too took a bow.
After the interval, for Holst's The Planets, there were some hundred players on the platform as well as a women's chorus of some 25 off-stage in the last movement. You will never hear a more exciting performance of this famous work, in which there are opportunities for instruments that have them comparatively rarely, such as the alto flute and the euphonium; it is a work to test one's familiarity with the full range of orchestral sound. For any in the audience to whom Towards Purcell was strange, this was the work, some of whose tunes have become widely popular, to send them home exalted.
Many of the young players of the Purcell School will presumably become professional musicians, and they are already so good that at times the conductor Paul Daniel could let them play with almost no direction. The solos by the leader, Anny Chen, and others in the second movement, Venus, deserve praise.
In the last movement, Neptune, the voices of the off-stage choir emerged naturally and the music faded gradually to convey the mystical effect that Holst wanted.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian hospital officials say twin car bombings in a Damascus suburb have killed at least 10 people.
The state SANA news agency says two cars packed with explosives detonated early on Wednesday morning in the capital's eastern Jaramana suburb, which is populated by mostly Christians and Druse.
SANA says dozens of critically wounded victims were taken to hospitals.
Two hospital officials say at least 10 people were killed. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.

"Enjoyable and Thought Provoking"
I may listen to this one again in a few months. The plot is tightly woven and the characters are realistic.
I suppose I'd never thought about what it must be like to be a stroke victim, as Hannah Beth is. This particular character made the whole experience of struggling for words, struggling to be understood and grasping for movement and improvement understandable. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Rebecca also is a sympathetic character - someone living with resentment and hurt who is forced to confront what she believes to be true and having to choose to either stay where she is emotionally or letting go of the past and learning to live life on other terms. There are so many other characters I could mention - Teddy, Claude, Mary - not enough space, though. You'll have to listen/read the book for yourself.
"Wingate Tells From the Heart"
Another thoroughly enjoyable story from Lisa Wingate. I love the experience of her stories told about people from the inside out. I love the experience of knowing her people will be better off in the end. This particular story is a tour of compassion, personalities, efforts at creating beauty in a confusing world, misunderstanding, understanding, and wisdom in "broken" minds. I loved Claude's story-pictures. Johanna Parker, the narrator is astoundingly remarkable.
I truly enjoyed this accopunt of what families of alziemers victims go through. I work with alziemers patients and their families every day. This book shows how vulnerable not only the patient is but also their family.
Riveting... Couldn't stop till the last word. Narration was excellent - all the voices believable. Thanks for the good read!! Amazing!
"Great story of real life"
Great real-life story.
When the main character discovers her step brother is her biological brother.
When the main character discovers her step brother is her biological brother, the book became real, becuase the main character reacted as a real person.
The novel begins slow for me and it has issues that are too real-life, I wanted to put it down. Then the characters became a part of my heart and I loved it.
"This is an amazing book!"
I didn't want this story to end. This is one of those books where you want to enter their world and live there awhile, despite the obvious imperfections of life. I loved the characters and the story. This is one I'll read again. Love this author!!!
The stray was well told. Lisa Wingate is a talented soulful writer. Johanna Parker narrated the book beautifully.
"Good Book"
This is the third book of leases that I have read often I think she puts too much drama and her books and it gets on my nerves but this book has very little drama it's very good to keeps your attention... Keep you thinking makes you smile makes you cry and she always brings out what's important love and forgiveness I wish you talked a little bit more about the Lord in this book but it's very good.
The narration is fabulous
"A difficult listen"
The story starts in a good place but the narrative moves very slowly. Not much happens in the 11 or so hours of this book, Let's see, there is daily life at the nursing home, a couple of depressing health situations and...hmmm...oh, an inheritance controversy.
There is no sense of place here. Somewhere in...a suburb of Dallas? It could be anywhere, and wherever it is, the setting is not a location I would want to visit.
The narrator takes up way too much time bleating and honking - an annoying pattern that is supposed to represent the speech patterns of several disabled characters.
Redeeming features:
There is a nice resonance that ties the end to the beginning and that is about all the glimpse I could get of the author's talent.
And, this book is way better than the current crop of junk mystery thrillers.
"Almost a good book.."
I think Lisa Wingate has talent and the potential to write a good book. However, this is not the one. Everything was there--character, plot, mystery--and then she neatly tied up all the loose ends in the last 20 minutes and everyone lived happily ever after, which is OK for a Fannie Flagg story, but more is expected from the next generation of writers.

text: Voters In MA Overwhelmingly Support Ballot Measure To Legalize Medical Marijuana The 420 Times Staff August 23, 2012 Activism, Exclusive Web Content, Medical Marijuana News, Politics, The War On Drugs A new poll in Massachusetts from Public Policy Polling shows overwhelming support for Question 3, the ballot measure to legalize medical marijuana in the state, set to be voted on this fall. When answering the question "Question 3 would eliminate state criminal and civil penalties for the medical use of marijuana by qualifying patients. If the election was today, would you vote yes or no on Question 3," fifty-eight percent said "yes" while only 27% said "no" and 15% were undecided. A poll taken in late March of this year had support at 53-35%, which means momentum is clearly with medical marijuana supporters in Massachusetts. A notoriously liberal state like MA should have little trouble passing a solid medical marijuana bill, especially with polls numbers this good toward the tail end of summer. In fact, MA remains one of the few northeastern states that does not have legal protections for medical marijuana patients. This will likely be rectified in November, but only as long as activists and supporters in the state keep the pedal to the floor between now and then in terms of effort and spreading the word. – Joe Klare – make sure you check out our brand new Forums and our "Stop The Ban in L.A."

If you missed Part 1, I ran my 2nd fastest half marathon time ever on Saturday in an Abe Lincoln themed race.
Saturday after we had a post-race breakfast and a tour of Lincoln's house, my friend Leslie and I hit the road for St. Louis. We went to the expo and picked up really pretty blue shirts. We were not the only ones who made it a Springfield/STL double weekend, but a lot of vendors acted surprised.
We had a plan. We raced hard on Saturday, so we would play hard on Sunday and run our second race dressed as Wonder Women.
We hung out in the start corrals and waited for the 2:45 pace group, so we greeted everyone passing by us. Not a lot of costumed runners, but that's ok.
We started running, and instantly found out how tired and sore our legs were. Not a good sign, considering how hilly St. Louis is. We were doing this one for fun anyway, so we ran/walked/jogged our way through the race, slipping from the 2:45 group shortly after mile 3.
Holy Hill... sigh... We were blessed by the priest and I was looking forward to the chocolate stop advertised. But because we were slow, not only was it gone, but RUNNERS HAD DROPPED AND STEPPED ON CHOCOLATE ALL OVER THE ROAD! OH THE HUMANITY! So that was disappointing. But Holy Hill might be the worst part of any race course ever.
Right after Holy Hill, we found a photo opportunity, where Leslie took the most BA photo of me that exists.
I want to feel the way I look in this photo all the time.
Around mile 9, we were just getting goofy and hitting on spectators and taking beer from local hashers. We stopped for an action photo as well.
Leslie does Crossfit, so her mad air is a result of many box jumps. The bruises on my knees are a result of excessive falling.
Approaching the finish line, we were pumping the crowd up to cheer a little louder. Go! St. Louis snapped a shot of it and put it on their Facebook page:
I was really happy to be done. 3:06:32 on tired legs. Pikermi #22.
We spent the rest of the day eating and drinking our way around St. Louis (Rooster, Bailey's Range, Civil Life, Urban Chestnut, 4 Hands) and I even took Monday off to go shopping and eat some more (Donut Drive-In!).
I wish I could say that it will be a long time before my next pikermi (23), but it's Sunday in Marion, IA. I ran Wednesday night and it was slow. But it was also windy, which made me think of Shamrock. Next weekend I'm heading to Kentucky with CyGuy for pikermi #24. I'm also less than a month away from my 24 Hour Run Revenge. I will get 100k. I will get 100k. I will eat an embarrassing amount of food.
Good luck to anyone racing this weekend!

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran, a close ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, plans to host a meeting of regional and other countries this week on ways to resolve the country's conflict, the official IRNA news agency reported on Monday.
However, only countries with a "realistic" stance on the conflict will be invited to the meeting on Thursday, IRNA quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian as saying.
The report did not say which countries would be involved but without Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, all of whom back the opposition to Assad, it is unlikely to have a significant result.
The aim is to find "ways out of the current crisis, the return of stability and calm to that country and also supporting all constructive regional and international efforts", Abdollahian said.
Shi'ite Muslim Iran has steadfastly supported Assad in his struggle to crush the 17-month-old rebellion against his rule, although it had backed other uprisings which removed leaders in Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
Syria and Iran have accused Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia of backing rebels in Syria and fuelling violence there.
The Iranian armed forces chief Seyed Hassan Firouzabadi warned the three countries against helping Washington's "war-raging goals" in Syria.
"Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are responsible for the blood that is being spilled in Syria," he said in comments published on the Revolutionary Guards' website.
"It is not the right basis for Syria's neighbouring countries to help the war-raging goals of America. If that is the basis...they should know that next, it will be Turkey's and other countries' turn," Firouzabadi said.
Iranian leaders have accused the West of plotting with Arab countries to overthrow the Syrian leadership and bolster the status of Israel in the region by backing extremist militant groups.
Last month, Iran said it was ready to host talks between the Syrian government and opposition groups, an offer rejected by members of the Syrian opposition.

A FARMING family from Ringwood made sure a party to celebrate the life of their dad went with a bang – by getting his ashes made into fireworks.
The unusual wake was held at the weekend to mark the life of 61-year-old Denis Moody, who died on December 27.
And the volley of bangs was accompanied by one of Mr Moody's favourite songs - Spirit in the Sky, played by a live band.
His son Michael, 24, who is a gunmaker, said: "It was a nice send-off, it was nice to celebrate Dad's life rather than mourn his death.
"We collectively came up with the idea of fireworks - my four sisters and I, and mum, and ordered a box of small rockets from a company called Heavenly Stars in Kent. It was a really nice display.
"Dad always had a thing for making bonfires and stuff like that we thought this idea was perfect. The display went on so long the band said they'd never played as long a version of Spirit in the Sky before."
The party, attended by family and friends, raised money for the BASICS Hampshire emergency doctors service, which sends doctors to emergencies to stabilise patients before paramedics can get them to hospital.
Mr Moody said: "They helped Dad before, and we wanted to raise some money for the charity. We might be doing another fundraiser soon.
"Dad was a mechanic, but he had had cancer for 11 years on and off and so he couldn't do that and helped mum with the farm instead, as much as he could.
"He got over cancer then got it again then it moved into his bone. He made sure he celebrated Christmas for his nephews and nieces and died on December 27.
"We had a very small funeral and this was the big celebration.
"Now we're going to spread the rest of his ashes over the farm."

Russell puts the conclusions of last week's attention-getting article in The Atlantic to the test.
Last week, in Atlantic magazine, two researchers published the results of a study with a very unsettling conclusion: there is subtle racism at work in the broadcast booth in Major League Baseball. The idea that Caucasian players are more often praised for being "gritty" and "scrappy," while African-American, Hispanic, and Asian players aren't similarly lauded, isn't a new one. For the first time, someone decided to put the hypothesis to an empirical test.

In the early 1960s, Baseball feared the rising number of Latinos in the game, but in this area, at least, the game has been a positive example for tolerance.
Harry "Cookie" Lavagetto played second and third base for the Pirates and Dodgers in the 1930s and 40s and remains known for delivering one of the great moments in World Series history, the pinch-hit double that broke up Bill Bevens' no-hitter with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 4 of the 1947 World Series. Ironically, it was his last hit in the majors—not even Ted Williams got a police escort off the field after his last hit. After being cut by the Dodgers, Lavagetto played for some excellent Pacific Coast League teams with his hometown Oakland Oaks, including the 1948 league champions, then went on to a long career as a coach and manager.
Lavagetto was the last manager of the original Washington Senators and the first manager of the Minnesota Twins. It was in the latter capacity that he gave the 1961 interview, titled "The Challenge from Latin-America" in Baseball Digest. Author Dick Gordon wrote:
While there were only 45 Latins (or seven percent of the of the total) on major league rosters this spring, the number is steadily increasing. And the fact that there are an estimated 500 of them in organized ball already indicates the threat of a Castro etc. "invasion" not by soldiers armed with rifles but by athletes with rifle arms.

The Indians' left-handed reliever discusses his baseball beginnings, growing up in Mississippi, and setting an example.
Tony Sipp wants to be more than just a role model. The Indians' southpaw is already a rag-to-riches story, having established himself in the big leagues after being taken in the 45th round of the 2004 draft as an undersized college pitcher with questionable mechanics. In two seasons with the Tribe, the 27-year-old Sipp has appeared in 116 games, all out of the bullpen, with a 4-2 record, 3.67 ERA, and a .209 BAA.

The Dodgers coach discusses coming to the United States, his playing experiences, and those who influenced him.
Manny Mota is known to most baseball fans as one of the best pinch-hitters of all time, but he might be better described as one of the game's finest ambassadors and gentlemen. A coach for the Dodgers since 1980, the 71-year-old Mota came to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 1957 and went on to play for the Giants, Pirates, Expos, and Dodgers for 20 big-league seasons, retiring with a .304 lifetime average and 150 pinch hits. He encountered prejudice along the way, having emigrated to a country that didn't see racism totally disappear with the breaking of baseball's color barrier a decade earlier.

Does Orlando Hudson have a point when he says black players are getting frozen out?
Jeff Passan reported Tuesday on Yahoo! Sports that Orlando Hudson suspects that Jermaine Dye has not gotten a major-league contract to his liking for sinister reasons. Specifically, Hudson claims:

Has the game been the forcing ground for a nation's promise?
I hope you enjoyed Opening Day, or as I like to think of it, the 61st anniversary of America. Yes, there was 1776, when the 13 colonies declared independence, or 1787, when the current Constitution kicked off, or even 1865, when Abraham Lincoln both ended slavery and established the supremacy of the federal government over the states by force of arms. Yet, in all that time, the country never began to close the gap between its rhetoric and its realities. That had to wait for 1947 and Jackie Robinson.

Important Notes
This section describes important information about Cisco WCS.
International Characters Not Supported
WCS does not support international characters. You cannot use non-English characters for map names, asset information, and so on.
Changing the Default Password
After installing WCS, the default root password is public. Cisco advises changing the default password after the initial installation. Follow these steps to change the WCS default password.
Step 1 Log in as root.
Step 2 Select Administration > Accounts.
Step 3 From the User Name column, click root.
Step 4 Enter a new password in the New Password text box and retype the new password in the Confirm New Password text box.
Step 5 Click Submit.
Cisco WCS Upgrade
Cisco WCS for Linux supports database upgrades only from the following official Cisco WCS releases:
The last step in performing an upgrade is restoring the WCS database. The steps previously recorded on page 10-6 of the Wireless Control System Configuration Guide did not include those users restoring from a WCS version prior to 3.2 The following note was added to this section.
Note If you are restoring from a WCS version prior to 3.2, you must enter a directory rather than a backup file because tar/gzip did not exist prior to 3.2. Enter DBAdmin restore directory, where directory is the backup directory that you created.
IPSec Not Supported
Software release 4.0 does not support IPSec. If you upgrade to release 4.0 from a previous release that supported IPSec, any wireless LANs (WLANs) that are configured for this feature become disabled.
Limits to WebAuth Support on Hyrid-REAP Access Points
Access points in Hybrid-REAP mode support WebAuth only with Open Authentication if the wireless LAN (WLAN) has local switching enabled.
This release of Cisco WCS for Windows or Linux is compatible with wireless LAN controller and Cisco Aironet lightweight access point operating system 3.1 or later. Previous versions of WCS should not be used with the 4.0 controller software release.
Cisco WCS IP Addresses
If you need to change the IP parameters on the Cisco WCS workstation, such as the IP address or the default gateway, shut down Cisco WCS before making the change, and start Cisco WCS after your IP configuration changes are complete.
MCS7800 Servers
The Cisco MCS7800 server hardware is supported but the software needs to be reformatted to be used as a Cisco WCS server.
Manually Executing Scheduled Tasks
Manually executing scheduled tasks (such as device status, client statistics, rogue access point, and statistics) do not run immediately if any of the other tasks are already running. Instead, Cisco WCS queues and executes them as soon as the running tasks are completed. Wait for the manually executed scheduled tasks to complete.
Slow Imports of FPE Files with More Than 200 Walls
Importing a floor plan editor (FPE) file with more than 200 walls can be slow, and the browser may not report any status or redirect you to any other page.
Workaround: Do not click anywhere on the map page for at least 5 minutes before you try to verify that the file is imported.
Calibrating the Location Model Using Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g Wireless Cardbus Adapter Clients
We recommend using a Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g Wireless Cardbus Adapter (AIR-CB21AG) with the latest drivers. When using a card for calibrating make sure it is CCX compatible and Version 2 or later. If the card is lower than version 2 then it is not ideal for calibration.
Restoring an Upgraded Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance to an Earlier Release
A backup from the latest release of Cisco 2700 series location appliance software cannot be restored on a location appliance running an earlier release (CSCsb54606).
Workaround: Before you upgrade a location appliance to the latest release, Cisco recommends that you create a backup for the earlier release and archive it in case you need to return an upgraded location appliance to an earlier release.
Managing Cisco Wireless Services Modules using Cisco WCS
Unlike other wireless LAN controllers, Cisco Wireless Services Modules (WiSMs) use their service ports to communicate with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch supervisor. The Cisco WCS server uses the WiSM data port to connect to and control the WiSM and its associated Cisco lightweight access points (CSCsb49178).
This section lists open caveats in Cisco WCS 4.0 for Windows and Linux.
Open Caveats
These caveats are open in Cisco WCS 4.0:
•CSCsb76160—The rogue and security alarm message for an IDS Signature Attack Alarm indicates "The wireless system is no longer detecting the intrusion,"although "Attack active at" still says alarm is active at one or more access points. The anomaly takes place when an IDS Signature Attack Alarm is no longer detected at one access point but is still detected by other access points. When WCS receives a clear alarm event from one access point, this count is decremented and the alarm is cleared only when the count reaches zero.
Workaround: Recognize that if "Attack active at" still says the IDS Signature Attack is active at one or more access points, the alarm message applies only to the most recent notification from one of the observer access points.
•CSCsc23186—Cisco WCS cannot be installed when the username contains special characters, such as exclamation marks (!).
Workaround: Install WCS after logging in as a user with no special characters in the username.
•CSCsc39976—The coverage area does not scale when changing the units of measurement from feet to meters in Cisco WCS maps.
Workaround: Set the units of measurement first and then draw the obstacles and coverage areas.
•CSCsc48752—The location for elements in outdoor areas is improperly displayed when viewing details of an outdoor wireless LAN (WLAN). The Cisco 2700 Series Location appliance functionality is designed for indoor locations. Any location for outdoors will be displayed using best effort but accuracy is not guaranteed.
Workaround: None.
•CSCsc54046—Heatmaps for mesh access points may not be optimal because they may not be considering certain optimal parameters and may not reflect the exact coverage pattern.
Workaround: None but some parameters can be tweaked to improve the outdoor mesh heatmaps.
•CSCsc92372—From the Map Editor for an outdoor area, the options listed for Obstacles are all for indoor floors. For example, there are not any obstacles for trees or buildings.
Workaround: Choose equivalent obstacles from the existing list for outdoor objects, such as trees or buildings. For example, draw a rectangle with thick walls to represent a building.
•CSCsd07119—An SNMP operation to device failed message appears when applying a template to a controller that has parameters incompatible with other configuration settings on a controller.
Workaround: Make the same configuration change on the controller UI. When the controller UI returns a specific error message indicating where the problem occurred, you will know which template parameters are causing the problem. Then correct the template or modify the controller settings so the template can be applied without errors.
•CSCsd15481—The mesh link information for an access point shows incorrect links for the mesh parent.
Workaround: Use the controller CLI command to retreive updated and correct mesh link information for an access point:
show mesh neigh Cisco AP name
This command shows the mesh link information for an access point including all the neighbors, children, and parent links.
•CSCsd54692—Unable to log into WCS using the default username and password.
Workaround: Restart the server.
•CSCsd95919—When displaying the Voice TSM report, a graph appears only if data is available but the report title still appears.
Workaround: None.
•CSCsd85695—If WCS is installed and operating in one of several time zones in Australia, tasks scheduled for a specific time of day will run one hour later than tasks scheduled during the week leading up to daylight savings time. Timestamps on log messages may also be incorrect.
Workaround: To have scheduled tasks occur on time in the Australian time zones during all weeks, replace the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) zone information directory with an updated version from Sun. Follow these steps to obtain an updated version from Sun Microsystems:
Step 1 From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html, download a JRE 1.5.0_06 or later.
Step 2 Rename the <wcs>/jre/lib/zi directory zi.orig.
Step 3 Copy the jre/lib/zi tree from the downloaded JRE to <wcs>/jre/lib/zi.
Step 4 Restart the server.
This should update the time zone information and solve the problem.
•CSCsd93796—Email notification time stamps are not accurate because they reflect the time email was sent but not the time of the actual event.
Workaround: Make sure the mail server does not create delays when receiving alerts from WCS. Common problems are misconfiguration of the IDENT protocol or DNS related delays.
•CSCsd96835—If an invalid or out of range value is entered for a H-REAP native VLAN ID on the access point template, the application returns an invalid attribute error message.
Workaround: Configure the VLAN ID within the valid range (1 to 4094).
•CSCsd98732—The 802.3x Flow Control Mode option is unavailable on the Configure > Controller System > General configuration pages. This occurs only if the configuration is for a Cisco 2006 wireless LAN controller.
Workaround: None.
•CSCse12576—During the calibration procedure, a CCX v.2 or later compatible client is recommended to take advantage of the latest features. However, the Aironet information element (IE) option must be enabled on the controller and the wireless LAN to which the client will be communicating. If the Aironet IE option is disabled, the calibration procedure may not generate sufficient data.
Workaround: Use WCS to enable the Aironet IE option for the controller and the wireless LAN to which the client will communicate. Path: Controller > WLANS > Choose specific WLAN > Check the Enabled box next to Aironet IE entry on the General Properties page that appears.
•CSCse17963—The Solid database shuts down if the Solid log file is corrupted.
Workaround: Delete the corrupted Solid log file and restart the server. Also, as part of the workaround, free up some disk space on the WCS server. Solid has a fix for this problem in their next release, which will be included in the next WCS release.
•CSCse18364—When adding a controller, the network route is automatically added based on IP address and netmask. If the network already exists, WCS fails to add a network.
Workaround: Provide a different subnetmask so that the network falls into a different route that does not already exist in WCS.
•CSCse20068—From a controller running a controller image of version 18.104.22.168 or lower, if the access point is in Layer 3 mode and has a statically configured IP address, clicking Save on the detail page causes the access point to revert to the DHCP option.
Workaround: The access point configurations for all access points on controllers running controller images of version 220.127.116.11 and lower can be configured using the Web user interface or comand line interface (CLI).
•CSCse22376—The map view is not using the Default Map Protocol View configuration when changing the map views from Monitor > Map and selecting Properties from the drop-down command menu. For example, if the network selection is 802.11 a & b/g, the map view defaults to 802.11b/g.
Workaround: Manually change the map view.
•CSCse23175—If the WCS server is managing a large network, the database process will sometimes stop or revert to a read-only mode. The system runs out of disk space when large files are backed up.
Workaround: Turn off the scheduled backup policies or reduce the default number of stored backups.
•CSCse27704—During install for HTTP and HTTPS ports, WCS allows the user to add incorrect values, such as nonnumeric characters. WCS installs but will not start correctly.
Workaround: Use the default port numbers or specify valid numeric port numbers.
Resolved Caveats
These caveats are resolved in Cisco WCS 4.0:
•CSCar13537—Group permissions for Users belonging to both ConfigManager and SystemMonitoring groups now restrict changing the logging levels and other administrative activities.
•CSCsa93250—Resizing a floorplan using the Edit Floor option correctly resizes the coverage areas.
•CSCsb07534—You can select a backup port during the initial setup of the web interface. When ap-manager interfaces are configured on all ports so that you have equal distribution, no backup port is needed. If the backup port is set up, the ap-manager interface moves to that port, creating two ap-manager interfaces. With release 4.0, the ap-manager interface (both static and dynamic) will not have a backup port.
•CSCsc06090—The performance is no longer slow for systems with a large number of Cisco lighweight access points and wireless LAN controllers attempting to enable a rogue access point policy.
•CSCsc44897—Cisco WCS shows correct antenna orientation when viewing an object.
•CSCsc46598—Items appear in the correct position in the Cisco lightweight access point placement diagram and items in the printed site survey document are correct when performing a Cisco lightweight access point placement planning site survey.
•CSCsc67765—You cannot use hexadecimal when setting preshared keys for WPA in wireless LANs (WLANs). Some phones, for example Vocera, require the key to be hexadecimal. In the 3.2 MR1 release of the controller, you can configure this using the CLI. You cannot configure it with WCS.
•CSCsc71820—The Access Control List can now have the DSCP value set to any.
•CSCsc83053—The coverage alarm for backhaul generated for mesh access points is fixed.
•CSCsc90237—The lease time is now accurately displayed in minutes rather than seconds when configuring DHCP on a controller using WCS.
•CSCsd26206—Made adjustments to the temporary directory so that the directory would not appear full and cause the failure of a generate proposal command.
•CSCsd33386—Cisco WCS does not support managing a third party AP, so any third party AP references were removed.
•CSCsd50071—The object now scales correctly with the floor plan changes when using the map editor and saving an object, such as a light wall or heavy door, to the floor plan and changing the horizontal or vertical dimensions to a smaller value.
•CSCsd51049—JRE 1.5.06 can be installed before installing WCS and the server starts without giving a null pointer exception error.
•CSCsd51852—Cisco WCS no longer retains an unused network after a controller is deleted.
•CSCsd54766—Restoring the configuration to the controller does not cause an error and restore is completed.
•CSCsd64228—When selecting and modifying Access Control Lists, you can set the value for DSCP to any without receiving an error response.
•CSCsd64641—Static IP addresses can now be configured on access points.
•CSCsd71397—WCS no longer defaults and writes to the root directory if the TFTP path has a space.
•CSCsd82296—Creating an ACL template in WCS and editing a rule with a protocol value of any no longer causes an error response stating that the value for this attribute is invalid.
•CSCsd93023—The AP fallback state can be changed without deleting dynamic interfaces on the wireless LAN (WLAN).
•CSCsd95310—Cisco WCS database was not restoring completely when the backup database was larger than 2 GB. This has been corrected and WCS restores and restarts successfully when the backup database is larger than 2 GB.
•CSCsd98962—A report for busiest clients can be run without triggering an unknown exception error.
•CSCsd98976—The mesh tree view correctly accounts for all access points on the floor when viewing maps.
•CSCsd99194—Calibration models are correctly assigned, and heatmaps of added access points display and compute correctly.
•CSCse00886—When saving pico cell mode to the 802.1a parameters on the controller, the system does not give the error "SNMP operation to device failed."
•CSCse14991—The antenna gain is getting set correctly on the controller when changing the antenna pattern on access points from the access point detail page or map position access point page.
•CSCse27134—Upgrading to WCS 4.0, you can save obstacles on current or new maps.
•CSCse30879—The DSCP values are correctly set in the database and controller. When editing rules in the Access Control List, editing the DSCP values are showing the saved value.

Austin Graham (6-1) allowed four runs and three hits two innings for Alabama.
Bulldogs reliever Joshua Fields (2-2) took the loss.

Steelers reassessing character issues during NFL Draft
Kevin Colbert is considered among the preeminent general managers in the NFL. He can boast of having more hits than misses, especially when evaluating the character of draft selections during his tenure with the Steelers.
However, the jury is still out on the 2012 draft class, partly because of lingering questions of why the organization seemingly overlooked — or excused — a couple of draft picks' apparent character flaws while in college.
Nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu and running back Chris Rainey were entangled in off-field incidents that left a black eye on an organization that prides itself on weeding through character deficiencies.
Ta'amu, a fourth-round pick, was once considered the heir apparent to Casey Hampton. But a drunken foray through the streets of Pittsburgh last fall still clouds his future.
Ta'amu, sentenced to 18 months probation earlier this month, pled guilty to reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and drunken driving stemming from an incident in which his SUV struck four parked vehicles and injured a female passenger.
The Steelers suspended Ta'amu and waived him a few days later. By season's end, he was back on the roster.
Rainey, a fifth-round selection, was arrested after a domestic dispute shortly after the regular-season finale. Colbert said in a statement that Rainey's actions were "extremely disappointing" when the Steelers released him.
Yet, the Steelers haven't reconciled their reasoning for keeping Ta'amu on the roster for actions that endangered lives.
"Over the course of Colbert's tenure there, he's been among the best at drafting solid citizens, and the coaches have done a good job of developing them into players," said Charlie Casserly, a former general manager with Washington and Houston. "If I'm a Steelers fan, I'm not going to panic because the Steelers have a track record of success."
On Monday, Colbert insisted this year's draft isn't unlike any other. The organization hasn't changed the way it assesses potential character flaws of players on its draft board — except consulting with family members to gauge the athletes' temperament.
However, the Steelers were in the unenviable position of having to reassess their pre-draft evaluations of Ta'amu and Rainey.
While coach Mike Tomlin appeared disappointed at the incident involving Ta'amu, there were signs of possible trouble. Ta'amu told the Tribune-Review last fall that the organization was aware of his previous legal troubles while attending the University of Washington.
Ta'amu had been charged with driving under the influence in 2009 while at Washington, which ended with a guilty plea of negligent driving. Rainey was charged with aggravated stalking during his junior year at the University of Florida.
Still, Colbert insisted nothing has changed in how potential draft picks are being evaluated, particularly with matters of character.
"It's been the same evaluation, the same process," said Colbert, in his third year as general manager after spending 11 years as director of football operations. "When you try to figure out a player's character, it starts with the reports from college that we get.
"It follows up with our own personal interviews and background checks. Coach Tomlin and I did a lot of follow-up work this past spring when we visited the pro days."
In an effort to remedy possible flawed evaluations, the organization focused more on having discussions with the families of draft-eligible players to better assess their character.
"We actually tried to be a little more proactive in trying to meet families," Colbert said. "It is something that Coach Tomlin started three years ago. After we draft players, we start to bring their families in to get to know the kids that we drafted."
"I just think it helps us develop a more complete picture about whom and what a player is, and maybe more importantly, what he is capable of being," Tomlin said. "I think the more you look at where they come from and who they come from, it helps you paint that well-rounded picture."
Colbert said efforts have been made to meet with potential draft picks and their families during pro days. However, it's often a difficult task when a player's family doesn't reside near campus.
"We did try to make a conscious effort to extend the program Coach Tomlin started three years ago, visiting with families as a pre-draft thing," Colbert said. "I think that would be the only difference. All the background checks and the psychological examinations or interviews that we do are exactly the same."

Nearly a year after first talks of reducing the Kyrene School District's Elementary Coaching Program enlisted help from a task force, cuts were inevitably made this school year to the program that supports teachers in math and literacy.
Last year, the district employed approximately 17 math and literacy coaches who each served about two elementary schools in the district. Math and literacy coaches are responsible for providing professional development for teachers and their assigned schools.
There are now about 16 coaches spread out over the district's 19 elementary schools.
In an effort to save money due to a continually tight budget, the amount of coaches was slightly reduced, saving nearly $300,000. Along with the reduction, where current coaches now rotate between three schools every three weeks, the program's overall scope was changed for better focus, said Lorah Neville, executive director of curriculum and services.
"It was a change we wouldn't have wanted, in terms of reducing the coaching program, but we did it very thoughtfully," Neville said during a recent district governing board meeting presentation.
Coaches now create more focused plans with teachers and hone in on areas for improvement through lesson modeling and co-teaching.
Kindergarten teacher Debbie Mitchell, at Kyrene del Cielo in Chandler, said coach Sarah Elliot's instruction has helped her become a "more effective teacher."
"She has not only helped me, but many others in my building," Mitchell said during the governing board meeting. "(Elliot) has also helped me implement thinking maps and how to tie those into the Common Core Standards."
Coaches gather a sense of student development and also observe classrooms. Neville added that the new rotational model for coaches helps teachers soak in their training.
"It does have that embedded follow up, and it's a good practice when we talk about changing someone's behavior," she said.
While the Coaches Task Force planned on saving the district anywhere from $500,000 to $700,000 through reductions, it is unclear if more cuts will be made to the program. Still, Neville is optimistic that the current changes will produce the same results within schools as in previous years.
"Our hope is that we can sustain the program as it is, and when the economy turns around we can get a coach in each school, including middle schools."

The world didn't end, but illegal structures saga should
Alice Wu says that since the Mayan calendar goofed, let's get on with life and finally put the illegal structures issue to rest
Related topics
So, Friday wasn't the end of the world. Now that we're still here, we've got to move forward. For those of you who put everything on your credit card, just in case the end of the Mayan calendar was indeed The End of humankind, you may want to start worrying now.
And for those of you who stockpiled your cupboards with loads of canned and dry foods, it's time to carry them to your nearest food shelter. Let your questionable decision benefit others, befitting the holiday spirit of giving.
And for our politicians who have been stuck in this year of "illegal structure" politics, can we please just move on? We have been talking about illegal structures since Donald Tsang Yam-kuen's private property was found to have a glass-enclosed balcony - and that was in the summer of last year. Eighteen months have passed, many government officials and legislators have been found with illegal structures, the supposedly anointed chief executive candidate lost his bid because of illegal structures, and the purported end of the world has officially come and gone, and we're stuck on illegal structures.
Listen, the damage has been done. Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying has been dragged through enough shame for his illegal structures. He has paid and will continue to pay the price for riding on his moral high horse during the campaign. Yes, he deserved the public outcry - every bit of it.
But he also survived, first, a vote of no confidence, and then a motion to invoke special privileges to launch a special investigation over illegal structures, and he will surely survive the impeachment proceedings. But we still won't let up.
As the saying goes, "all things must come to an end". This political soap opera is tiresome, it's boring, and if our lawmakers would just take a break from being so self-absorbed for a moment, they would realise they may have just missed a chance to quit while they're ahead.
Did they miss the RTHK forum held at the beginning of last week, in which the very respected University of Hong Kong's public opinion programme was in charge of randomly selecting callers? Not one asked about Leung's illegal structures. They asked him about what he plans to do about housing and other pressing social issues.
And what about the latest polls, which say that despite the illegal structures and the political posturing to run Leung into the ground, public confidence in the Leung administration went up 11 per cent?
On Thursday, before the Legislative Council adjourned for the holidays, Legco president Tsang Yok-sing hilariously "rejected" December 21, 2012, to be the end of the world, citing the many important tasks that lawmakers must attend to after their break as the reason for the "ruling".
We do need these people to "get on with it", so either they learn to multitask or make a choice between what they want and what the public wants. One thing, though, is certain: there isn't a lot more political milk to come from this illegal structures cow.
Have a very merry Christmas!

News of ethanol plant restarts and improved profitability are building optimism about the state of the ethanol industry in recent weeks. "It would appear that there is an opportunity—at least in the near term—to stay in the black in terms of profitability," said Nebraska Ethanol Board Administrator Todd Sneller.
Sneller said most of the ethanol plants that were temporarily idled are now back in production. Specific examples include the April 23 announcement from Poet LLC that its Macon, Mo., facility had resumed ethanol production after temporarily idling in early February. In March, Valero Energy Corp. restarted all three of the plants it idled in mid-2012. Finally, two Abengoa Bioenergy ethanol plants were restarted in February, after sitting idle for roughly four weeks.
Last week, U.S. ethanol production rose to a two-week high as corn costs eased. Ethanol production averaged 853,000 barrels per day, a 21,000 barrel per day increase from the week before, according to the latest U.S. Energy Information Administration data. It was the second highest weekly average of the year, the Renewable Fuels Association said. Ethanol stocks were also up slightly at 17.6 million barrels, a 0.5 percent increase from the previous week.
Further, the EIA said in its April 2013 issue of its "Short-Term Energy and Summer Fuels Outlook" that ethanol production is expected to recover to pre-drought levels after mid-year. Overall ethanol production is expected to average 850,000 barrels per day for the year and increase to an average of 920,000 barrels per day in 2014.
Sneller pointed to strengthening ethanol prices, reduced feedstock costs, export demand for ethanol and strong demand for distillers grains as positive factors. "That has been helpful in terms of propping up price and putting some strength back in the market," he said.
In addition, ethanol producers have worked to improve efficiencies and adopt new technologies, including installation of corn oil extraction systems. He also mentioned the use of new hybrid corn varieties and enzyme technologies for better ethanol yield. "Those factors in combination and some cases, individually, have been responsible for improved margins," he said.
"In Nebraska, which is second only to Iowa in ethanol production capacity, plants that were idled had fairly short downtimes and employees were not laid off," Sneller said. "The time was used to implement technology improvements or to work on compliance, annual inspections or maintenance."
He added that it's not just the ethanol industry that is thankful for improved ethanol profitability. "It's very clear to those communities and those states that host plants that when these plants were operating, not only the ethanol sector but the agricultural sector in its entirety, is functioning in a far more efficient, far more profitable manner," he said.
These topics and more will be discussed the 29th Annual Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo, June 10-13, in St. Louis, Mo. To learn more visit: www.fuelethanolworkshop.com

Midcap stocks — usually defined as stocks that have a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion — offer investors a sweet mix of stability and growth.
Sure, they're underperforming small-cap stocks so far this year, as the Russell 2000 has gained 26% year-to-date vs. the 23% gains of the Russell Midcap Index. However, tossing your money into small-cap stocks comes with a lot more risk and volatility thanks to their frequently untested businesses and small financial cushions. Midcap stocks tend to be more established businesses and thus are slightly safer bets.
On the other side, large-cap stocks might be safer in general, but these big, well-established companies also typically have less room to grow. Hence why the Russell Midcap has outperformed the S&P 500 in four of the past five years.
The bottom line is that midcap stocks are often a "sweet spot" investment for folks that want growth potential without big-time risk. So if you're looking for a few plays hitting that sweet spot, check out this list of 3 attractive midcap stocks:

About the Creator
I specialise in designing travel and wedding books that are both exceptional quality and cost-effective. I started designing 'blurb' books a couple of years ago, and I have found making a bookstore quality coffee-table books to be the best way to display memories, whether that's travel or weddings. The problem today is that with digital photography, photographs remain on computer storage devices or just flicked through on facebook! Imagine having a stunning travel book, that will amaze your friends and family, and that you can keep forever... For weddings I'd like to beautifully arrange your photographs to be bound in a keepsake forever. Included in the book design, along with the photos, you could have song lyrics or scriptures, quotes or mementos from the day. That way the book can show the journey of the day - from tightening the bow tie in the early hours of the morning to driving off to happily-ever-after at sunset.

Step 3: Read below to see why Marla and I decided to do the interview…
Most financial (and personal) problems are caused because of debt!
Here's the deal! If you don't spend your earnings carefully, even a six-figure salary won't safeguard you from money troubles.
Remember: It's not how much you make, but what you do with the money you have that counts…
So to begin, here's a quick story: I have a family friend who earned several hundred thousand dollars a year as a specialist in an advanced field. He went bankrupt a few years ago and will probably need to work for the rest of his life. I know another who never earned more than $50,000 a year but retired comfortably on his own terms.
The only real difference between these two friends is that one used debt to live beyond his means while the other avoided it and accepted a realistic standard of living.
Just as saving gives you options in the future, debt takes options away.
Not having the option of flexibility is the root of most financial problems. You can be a brilliant worker (or investor) and find yourself in financial ruin if you don't respect the power of debt.
Income, wealth and standard of living aren't as correlated as most people think…
Whether you make a modest living or bring in millions, you'll always do well if you live below your means, save the difference, invest it wisely, and wait patiently.
It's pretty basic advice, but usually simple is better than smart!
The some statistics of debt:
The 'average Canadian' (non mortgage debt) is $13,141 (way low! in my experience)
34% of Canadians feel anxious about their debt
40% of Canadians feel comfortable about their debt. (I say 'complacent' because they are meeting their monthly payment obligations.)
Money problems don't just strain our bank accounts. They strain our relationships!
Money problems are still one of the top reasons for divorce. (I've even seen money problems affect people's health.)
So when I help people learn how to increase their financial security, I find I'm often helping them in other, more important ways, too.
It all comes down to the proper management of cash flow
The #1 secret of the rich?
Spend less than you make and invest the difference in tax advantaged ways!
In today's "finance everything" world – how you think about and use debt is the foundation to your financial success…
"Keeping up with the Joneses…" syndrome
'Appear Rich' and the 'Gonnabe Rich.'
Most people say they wannabe rich, but they generally only focus on appearing rich.
They don't have the attitudes and behaviors that produce real financial security and independence.
It all comes down to debt and how each of us handle it!
So now, to the basics: There are only 2 two types of debt
'Good debt' and 'bad debt'!
Debt cuts 2 Ways:
It bleeds you
It feeds you
Unfortunately, the most common type is 'bad debt'. 'Bad debt' is created then one borrows to buy something (generally using credit cards and/or a line of credit) that drops in value (either immediately or over time) and often at expensive interest rates – and where the interest is 'non-tax deductible'. (Examples: cars, TVs, consumer products, clothing, vacations, etc…)
Bad debt is guaranteed to make you poorer.
Bad debt – cannot 'write off' the interest associated with the purchase.
On the other hand!
'Good debt' is when you borrow to invest in something that should create more value than when first purchased and make you richer in the long run…
One of the advantages of 'good debt' is that borrowing to invest in something that can produce growth and taxable income is generally tax deductible.
So with good debt you can write off the interest costs associated with the purchase
To build wealth, the rich focus on two things when investing: how can their money grow more quickly, and what are the 'after-tax' results.
That's why when the wealthy borrow, it's generally at a low, tax deductible interest rate to invest in a business, the stock market, or real estate.
Think Donald Trump!
He became a multi-billionaire by buying properties, mostly with borrowed money. The rental income produced some profit. But the bigger part of his wealth came from investing a little of his own money, borrowing the rest, and watching the value of his properties increase over time
So, to summarize:
To turn your financial world around and to begin creating real and lasting wealth – do the following:
1. Pay cash for depreciating assets (cars, TVs, vacations)
2. Borrow for appreciating assets (rental properties, businesses, investments)
Most Canadians get this wrong!
They borrow for depreciating assets THEN pay cash for appreciating assets (investments, RRSPs, etc.)
Because they are dealing with their mortgage all wrong and this sets them up for all sorts of difficulties in other financial areas of their life!
If you are interested in discovering how to pay off your Canadian mortgage faster by 'transferring bad debt – to good debt' and creating tax deductions you never thought possible – you owe it to yourself to

In a bid to raise awareness about the globe's climate-change issues, Thom Yorke asks fans and friends to help him create a huge human art image that is visible from space.
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is calling on fans and friends to help him create a huge human art image of 11th century Viking leader Canute that is visible from space. Yorke is developing the ambitious project with bosses at environmental charity 350 EARTH to raise awareness about the globe's climate-change issues.
His 'statue' will be one of 16 created around the globe and photographed by satellites on the eve of a United Nations meeting in Cancun, Mexico, according to Spinner. In a post on Radiohead's website, Yorke writes, "The plan is to make images visible from the skies to remind those in Cancun that we are running out of time. We can't keep putting this off."
Yorke designed the image with longtime collaborator Stanley Donwood, who has created all of Radiohead's album art. He is taking RSVPs for the event through the 350 EARTH website. The building work will start at 11 A.M. on November 27 at an undisclosed location near Brighton, England. Yorke needs 1,999 people to help him create the space art.

Is this a problem with:

2) not having the developer package installed properly?
3) mrxvt?
4) other?
How do I know if the developer package/shell access is on my system? How do I find out what the problem is? How do I get mrxvt working?
Thank you,
I'm having the same problem as Ben. I also tried running the FBReader installer with the same results.
I checked the .err files in the directory for mrxvt and they were empty.
I'm really wondering if this is a 2.12 thing... I've pushed the developer stuff to the iLliad twice, and it rebooted itself successfully both times.
More details from Device Identification:
Software version: 2.12
build number: 21200
Kernel version: 2.4.19-rmk7-pxa-irex1 #21200
Any information would be great on this.
